Cant understand why the backup to PC of vital Lumia phone information such as contacts, calendar and messges can not be easily and quickly achieved as with the Nokia suite and N8. I believe it is synced automatically to Sky-drive but I cannot find evidence of this. I would like to have control of this data for easy retrieval and stored on my PC. Windows phone software on my PC is sub standard in comparison with Nokia Suite. It is clunky, contacts cannot be backed up, photos have no picture reference when transferred and the overall Windows Phone software on my PC is second rate in contrast to the Windows Phone 8 phone experience. Can anyone enlighten me on how I can easily copy my contacts to PC. No problem getting contacts into the phone. Just unclear on how to get a copy of them out.
I Have a Nokia Lumia 900 and I'm also planning on buying another phone (not nokia), as I have all my contacts on my Nokia Lumia I want to get the all the contacts to my PC for later use.
I tried to soft reset my Lumia 800, after I add in all my live account, gmail and facebook, I found that all my contacted that used to linked together, I need to relink them again. Is there a way that I can backup the contacts and I don't need to link them again after I reset the phone.
I got my new Lumia 800 delivered this morning and my old N8 taken away as it was broken - so I no longer have the old phone but need to restore my contacts, messages, calendar and music - desperately, too. I have the backup file that I took yesterday from my N8, but Lumia 800 is not compatible with Nokia Suite so I have installed Zune. This doesn't work either, as I cannot find the option to restore a backup - so I don't know what to do?
I restored a backup using Nokia PC Suite which successfully backed up all data from my Nokia N96 phone. Everything restored EXCEPT my contacts. I can't find them anywhere and they were definitely backed up! Any idea how I can get them back? Have I lost all my numbers forever?
I used to have a Nokia N8 and used Nokia suite to backup (and when needed restore!) SMS Text message on my phone to my PC. How do you do that with the Lumia 920. I don't mind backing up to the cloud if I can't backup to my PC but I just can't seem to find a backup option.
I had my Nokia N80 mobile phone stolen, and the only thing that I have to restore my data is the nbu backup file ( generated by Nokia Ovi Suite).Please, Does somebody know how to extract/export my contacts and SMS (text messages) from nbu backup file?
I recently replaced my n85 as it was malfunctioning. I backed up the phone memory to SD card. On restoring this to my new phone, the contacts doesn't seem to have been restored. On entering the phone book, it says "contacts from selected memories not available". It seems strange as, upon receiving calls/messages, my phone knows who they are from (ie. the name of the contact comes up rather than the number). It seems the contacts are somewhere in the phone but it just won'r let me see them.
Problem. I need to restore telephone contacts to an N73 from a PC backup file: C:Documents and SettingsvinklaApplication DataPC Suite 35973xxxxxxxx PCCSContact Background. My N73 was behaving strangely with full phone memory problems. PC Suite backup terminated with a "not enough phone memory" error.I upgraded the phone software and was then able to perform a backup. After the upgrade, all my contacts had "disappeared" from my telephone, but I am able to see them in the backup PCCSContact file.
I have a problem with the Contacts on my Phone, I had backed up all my Contacts on a Memory Card, and restored it on my 5800. However when now am trying to backup my 5800 through Nokia PC Suite or OVI Suite, Out of 726 Contacts, only 250 get backed up, the others don't.. How do I resolve this issue...?
I have not yet gotten ahold of a Lumia 950 but plan to do so in the fairly near future. I've been reading this forum and find various comments about whether or not to restore from a WM 8.1 backup. My current phone is a Lumia 1020 running Denim.
My question is for those who have recommended a fresh install rather than a restore from backup. Are you referring only to the "Apps and Settings" backup and not the "text messages" backup?
My Lumia 920's Skydrive Storage Options (Settings -> Backup -> Photos) doesn't show "Photos + Videos" like everyone else I read about, and when I click through on that, it only shows 2 options
* Don't Upload * Upload (may use data plan)
There's no "Original size" and the entire "Videos" section is missing.I've made sure my wifi is set up and working, and my skydrive is all operational - when I "sake to skydrive" from the photo app, that uploads fullsize no problem.
I just wanted to back up my address book contacts from my Nokia 6300, using Nokia PC Suite. Unfortunately, the backup process stopped before completing, backing up only 13 contacts. Then, it synchronized these 13 contacts back to my cellphone, deleting all other 400 contacts on the phone.
Do you have any idea on how i can recover those lost contacts? I have already checked the Nokia PC Suite backup file using Noki software, however it also only shows 13 contacts. Also checked the PCCSContact file in the application data folder with SQLite3 Manager. However, it doesnt show any more contacts either. Any chance I can access the contacts on the mobile phone storage card?

1- i need my Contacts. 2- how to open my backup file on my computer to show my contacts on PC (the file have extension *.nbu)
I have a Nokia n97, and it is synced to Ovi Suite on my PC (latest version) I need to reinstall my OS (Windows 7), but I want to make sure everything is backed up first. Where does the Ovi Suite software store the Messages and Contacts and Photos/Videos on the Local Machine
Right now I have multipule contacts on my atrix that are "linked." Is there anyway to permanently consolidate all the linked contacts into one and export all my contacts as a csv file for outlook and gmail?
I'm having issues in getting my contacts from my GMail account to my new Lumia 800. I find lots of references telling me to go to 'm.google.com/sync' on my phone but this just ends up in a loop (it redirects me to a page which says to visit [URL]
I also have the contacts in vcf format but again, can't find anything relating to importing these to the Lumia.
It's a great phone so far, but ultimately pretty useless if I can't get any contacts in there!
How to transfer contacts from Nokia N95 to Lumia 800
I tried the appealing Bluetooth option, but unfortunately it didn't work. The pairing of the devices seemed to go OK.But after starting "contacts transfer" with some dots running over the screen of Lumia for a few second, I got "unable to complete the connection etc.".So apparently N95 is not supported or something.
I have around 450 contacts in my address book (names, address, phone nos) on N9 and around 400 on Windows Lives account (combination of Gmail, Facebook and LinkedIn) on my Lumia 800.So, I tried using the Contacts Transfer app to move the contacts from N9 to Lumia via Bluetooth. What happened was that it transferred around 60-70 contacts and then failed.I tried repeating it several times, each time having to pair with the N9 again on Bluetooth and each time failing the transfer after moving around 60-70 or so contacts.I then decided to give up and look into PeopleHub and under the contacts, I found hundreds of entries labelled <Unnamed>, with empty contents in them.Now, how can I get rid of them and why failing to complete the transfer resulted in these blank entries being generated?I also logged into my Windows Live account and indeed, it is saying I have over 900 contacts but these <Unnamed> contacts are not listed anywhere in the ALL, 123, A, B, C, D, E, etc. groups. So, I'm unable to bulk delete them on the web.
ok so i just got a nokia lumia 610, but everytime i try to add a new contact, i add a name and a phone number and as soon as i try to save it, it pairs it up with either facebook or hotmail (by itself), and then it says i cant it as i have choosen not to see contacts from facebook/hotmail, i would happily have my facebook contacts showing but the last thing i want is 300+ people on my phones contacts that i will never phone, or text, also if i try to show contacts from facebook, and then delete the 1's i don't want to see, it doesnt let me press delete so is there a way to connect only some contacts to facebook, so you only see the 1's your going to use and have the number of, or is there a way to delete the contacts you dont want to see from the peoples/contacts? if i cant sort this out i wont be able to use this phone,
