  1. How do I synchronize a merged contact across all my devices?


    Good day


    So, when I launch the people app on my main computer it also shows Skype contacts. When I edit a Skype contact to display their real name instead of their Skype username I've merged the contact info into one new contact, right? Now, the problem is, is that it doesn't seem to synchronize with my account. The contact is only available on that one PC. This is very frustrating since I can't access that specific contact information on any other device. How do I fix this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bug? I mean, Microsoft has a lot of cool functions that come in handy for personal use, office and work use and for students. However, I can never figure things out since there's no real explanation anywhere on how to use what with what and how. So I can never use their apps and programs to their full potential, anyways, that's besides the point. So, if anyone could tell me how I must add contacts in the contact app AND have it sync across all my devices and account, that'd be greatly appreciated. Maybe it's also worthy to note that I have all my devices logged in with a local account and log into apps separately, this is because I'm not sure how safe using a Microsoft account is, since I can't seem to use a different password for every device.

    :)

  2. E63 contact merge

    Hello.

    This is my next step in trying to organise my contacts in my new E63. It seems at some point the phone has downloaded my Yahoo contacts list and merged them with the phone contacts list, which is great. Except it hasn't exactly merged them; it's just added
    the two lists together, so I have mutliple entries for the same contact, in most cases one entry for the email address and one for the phone number. I'd like to have one entry per person containing both their email and phone numbers.

    After a langthy and very frustrating conversation with a nice enough lady at Nokia Support who unfortunately doesn't really understand English, the apparent answer is that the only way to get the email and phone number joined under one contact for each person
    is to go through each contact manually adding the detail and then deleting the superfluous contact. Is that really the case? Is there no way to get the phone to automatically merge identically-named contacts?

    Thanks in advance,

    Luke

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    How do I synchronize a merged contact across all my devices?

    Company merging on the horizon

    The Inq. talks about some major company merging that could take place this summer. What is likely to happen is summarized in the following list:

    • eBay is in talks with Microsoft and Yahoo regarding cooperation and perhaps even a combination
    • Oracle, SAP and perhaps Novell might be "up to something"
    • Telecoms will surely continue to be a big source of deal-making and not just through attempts to build scale and geographic coverage. Deals such as Sky-Easynet and eBay-Skype suggest that combinations of services could be the way forward.
    • Sun might be bought by Fujitsu Siemens, HP or Dell
