How to separate contacts in folders in Windows Contacts?

I have 2 iPhones I want to synchronize with the same Windows user and iTunes. I managed to sync all music, videos and whatnots already because I wanted to do the same. However, the contacts in both phones are different. Is it possible to separate contacts in 2 folders in Windows Contacts so that I can choose contacts to sync with iTunes folders?

Thank you!

It cannot be done directly with Windows Contacts (Finally, perhaps depending on how work iPhones).  You can create folders separated for each of you to keep separate contacts (and move them to the appropriate folder whenever a new contact is added), but they will all sync if you use the normal method (unless the normal method allows you to enter a specific case - then you're all set).  I don't know if this will help as I know vaguely how to sync contacts, but if it is possible that the contacts are stored in different folders if created in different folders in the Windows Contacts (Vista iPhones both), then it may be possible to simply check synchronize these files instead of Windows Contacts in general and therefore separate them.  I don't know if this is possible in iPhones but in Vista, contact information is stored in C:\Users\\Contacts and Contacts, it can be separated by folders (organize / new folder) which will bring the folder main Contacts in separate folders within him - in the iPhone, it can simply go in the a contacts database and thus be inseparable with no record separate information but if you contact they know.

But if we can not do normally as described above it is still possible.  I think that the product is to SyncToy:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C26EFA36-98E0-4EE9-A7C5-98D0592D8C52&displaylang=en.  I'm not 100% sure SyncToy will work with iPhones (actually, I'm sure that it will not so it is probably not an option) but you can try with the main folder and see if it works (the trick and the key will be if it installs on the iPhone).  If so, you can then go ahead and separate contacts in both files you create and then configure synchronization to use these subfolders instead of the main folder.

I hope this helps.  If none of these options work, then I'm afraid that I don't know other options to try except to communicate with iPhones and see if they have any suggestions.

Good luck!

  • How can I set up separate e-mail folders in Windows Mail to two companies each with its own email address and the password?

    We use Verizon as our ISP.  I was getting our email to two different companies by connecting to Verizon in with another user name and password for each company.  However, we have received messages in our email that we were almost our quota and customer emails we would not come through and have been having rebounded.  I spoke with Verizon and learned to use a 3rd party to channel messages and thus free up space from the server.  They helped me to set up the email to go in Windows Mail, but now all the email for both companies will in the same e-mail account.  How can we separate the email for both companies so that each company can log on to Windows Mail with their own separate IDs and passwords?

  • How can I move the folders from Windows XP that contains "Live Mail" e-mail files to a different location than C:\Document and Setings\...?

    I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.

    I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.

    With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c.  It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).

    Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?

    Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?

    Where can I get information on these topics?

    Thank you for an answer.

    My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".

  • NAS200 - cannot access personal folders of Windows

    Live chat with Linksys re: NAS200: my side of it.

    On a NAS200 I install a user called 'jon' with a personal file and a password. Problem is, I don't see how now to access folder Jon of Windows XP in the same way that I can access the public folder.

    I get "\\Nas200_9792de\public disk" Windows and files read/write without problem, including several subdirectories, I created it there.

    After you create a user, I guess I would then be able to access the file with something like \\Nas200_9792de\jon for example. I tried a drive letter of mapping, but get an error message

    on "network folder is mapped currently...... try a different username. But

    nothing alse is currently mapped.

    If I try"add a network place" I get "the folder you entered is not valid. Please choose another. "

    I've updated the firmware to V3.4R75, but this made no difference

    I searched throughout the "NAS200 User Guide.pdf" and he gives no explanation on how to access the personal folders of Windows.

    I searched also Linksys FAQ but could not find a help there.

    Sincerely, Shaun.

    You can try using the network drive mapping utility that is included on the cd to map the file. To map a shared folder, please follow the instructions of thses:

    Right-click on the icon in the system tray. Click shared folder mapping. The folder mapping split screen appears. Select the appropriate network storage System.Select the shared folder if you don't see the folder you want, click the Refresh button. Keep the default drive letter or enter a different letter in the field of training. Then click on the map button. The shared folder opens automatically, and a new window will appear to inform you that the shared folder has been mapped. Click the OK button. On the mapping of shared folder screen, click on the close button. Double Clcick workstation. the shared folder will appear as a network drive.

    Hello djplexus

    First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.
    With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.

  • ITunes library and duplicate the items and folders of Windows Explrr

    I have a 2 or 3 General questions on iTunes.  I download all my iTunes on a PC and play really.  That is why the questions about iTunes folders in Windows Explorer.

    1 how to produce duplicates in the library?  I have loads.  I saw the advice to remove them.  This helps a little but it's still a task to be piecemeal.    How to stop what is happening in the first place?

    2 in addition to the duplicates.  Last night I went in Windows Explorer on the PC that I use to download and play iTunes and entered the iTunes Media/Music folder.   I walked carefully each folder album deleting duplicate here.   However, on opening iTunes itself today, duplicates all seem to be still there in the library list.   Why it did not work?  ITunes is not loading the content of this folder?  If this is not the case, why I was informed to support?

    3 What does the symbol of iCloud next to some of the tunes?  If I run the cursor over them, it says 'download '.   But surely I downloaded it when I bought and added to my library?    Why should I download it again?  That this symbol that the melody in question can not play if the PC is offline?

    4 one of the songs in my library list appeared today in my Windows Explorer iTunes Media/Music folder.   I can I have accidentally deleted while I was removing the duplicates it and have now downloaded it in the album in this folder.    Probably so, iTunes library does not constantly in the folder of music on a Windows PC?    He only takes over here if the backup is necessary?

    If so OK but other files appear in the library that do not exist and he asks me if I want to find the file?

    I guess that my confusion stems from the assumption that the iTunes Media/Music in Windows Explorer folder should indicate precisely what will appear in the library in the app.

    Vondegru,

    With regard to questions 2 and 4: iTunes does not automatically "load" all the files in the folders.  You can do an analysis of initial unique optional optional when you install iTunes, which will add all are compatible files in the iTunes library.  After that, files not added unless you take action to add.
