People App merge contacts

So, there is an option to link the different accounts such as Facebook, Skype, Gmail contacts, etc.. I tried links them to each person when the app shows multiple entries for a single person. But when I link, it does not work. Only Facebook and living are linked, but still, the other contacts are listed as separate profiles. It runs on Windows Phone 7. So, I wonder what the problem is.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app twice and now it seems that his work. The sad part is that I not did something to solve the problem except uninstall... These kinds of bugs are common (with music, WiFi) on the platform with fixes at random along the way. It's frustrating to have bugs, but when the bugs are inconsistent, even more confusing sound... I am pleased that contacts linking now works well...

  • How to load images in the 'People' app that has all my contacts and a lot of white sillouettes. Very frustrating! Rodcliff

    I tried every way I can think to get photos in this app and all the photos that I need are on the same computer, in 'Photos' photography only in that I can put my own photo account. None of the settings or the app command bar downstairs offer me the option. I'm stuck.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft. We are here to help you with all your Windows questions or issues.

    You mentioned that you are unable to load the photos to the App to people with all your contacts in it and it is showing a white figure some of these contacts.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You try to set pictures to your contacts, showing the white figure?

    If you try to put photos of your contacts, showing the white figure in the people App, then I'm sorry to inform you that this can be done with the people App. This is because; the people App does not work like the other application to management of Contact where the contacts are stored in a local file on the computer. In People Soft, contacts are not saved to a local file. It is linked with the online account of that special person that you added to the App people.

    For example, if you add your Facebook account to the people App, all contacts that it will be shown in the people App, but they are not saved locally. It is just linked to your Facebook account. Thus, the image of a particular contact will change unless the account holder he spends his account.

  • Gmail to people app contacts sync problems

    Hello

    my gmail email account has synchronized with the Mail app without problem (although I seem to have two accounts installed, and they are both the same!), but it won't export my contacts to the people app. I followed all the online help which merely says that if my google account is listed under 'accounts', then I'm done! But still no contacts in the people application.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Juliet,.

    Added the account to the Mail app should get automatically synchronized on soft People. The people app collects "contacts", it is possible to have several lists, if there is more than one account.

    This problem can occur if the people app is not updated. I suggest you to refer to the help article and check if it helps.

  • People app; Cannot import contacts

    Hello. I'm not having any luck import my contacts in the people application :-(. I have a lot of contacts in Outlook, and this account (my main account from Microsoft) appears under 'accounts' in the settings. When I opened this account however, it shows that E-mail as content to synchronize. I created an outlook.com account and added that the people app, and when I check the settings for that one, it shows emails, contacts and calendar as "content to synchronize. I've also added my Google gmail account and my Skype account, but the contacts of those who do not appear either. Under 'options' Google, Outlook and Skype are checked in 'display only those contacts '. On the homescreen in the lower right corner, it says that I'm connected to 2 accounts outlook, Skype, and Google. I tried to turn it back on the shelf, the people app and outlook without result. Any ideas?

    Thnx in advance.

  • People app Windows RT and "what's new".

    Why is my Facebook feed showing is no longer in the people app when I click on "what's new?  This device was working fine when I started to use my Tablet first, but no longer works even if she appears to be syncing.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the application, as well as the resolution of the problems of the apps with no luck.  I also tried adding the Facebook account again through parameters.  In the top right of the screen, it shows that I am connected to my Microsoft and Hotmail accounts.  My Microsoft and Facebook accounts are linked.  My Facebook contacts always appear when I click on the application of people, but nothing appears in "what's new".  Any suggestions?   Thank you.

  • people app rt of surface

    I have three questions with the people app.

    1. the app shows that my Microsoft and Skype accounts are added to the application. However, it seems that only my Skype contacts are there, when I try to add my Hotmail account, it is said that the account has already been added.

    2, I have READ THAT, you can send an email directly from the app people however when I select a contact even with a mail address it doe not give me that option.

    3. when sending an email from the mail application and try to get a contact address I select + sent me the application of people, but it said that its empty and does not show me the contacts that appear when I open the application directly from the icon.

    I would appreciate if someone can give me some advice in how to solve these problems. TKS in advance

    Hello line,

    You can try this: uninstall your e-mail application by touch for a second or two and then slightly swipe down - this puts a check mark on the tile and brings up a bar at the bottom of the page. The bar select uninstall, it will uninstall Mail, calendar, e-mail, and people (they are grouped). After that they uninstall make appear your charms and tap Settings, tap the start icon and select restart.

    Sign in the Surface, go to the store and reinstall Mail, this will reinstall Mail, calendar, e-mail, and people. When they are resettled first go to people (not Mail). If you use your Hotmail account as the Microsoft account to connect to the Surface, he should automatically be implemented, if not add it.

    When you add your Hotmail account to one of the four bundled applications it is automatically implemented in all four.

    I hope that this will solve the problem you're having with the app people.

  • Why can I not add a yahoo email account to "People" app?

    I'm trying to follow the instructions to activate the application of people to see all the contacts in my mail.  but when I try to add an account, the only choices are Hotmail, Twitter, Outlook and Google, none of which I use.  Sorry, but I use Yahoo and I'm happy with it.  So, I am correct that I can't add yahoo contacts to the people?

    I created a yahoo email link in the pane on the start page email and it works, but only to see and read the mail - I can't send mails (except in typing an address) because my contact list was not imported.  It seems so if I can only use it efficiently using the browser.  Which is OK, but not what I thought was intended... Did I something wrong?
    Thank you!

    PS: Later, after this announcement, it dawned on me that this could really be a software issue, so I'll also it posting in forum Windows RT.  Thank you.

    My app Windows 8 people will not connect on my Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn (all the social networks I joined).

    Details:

    My login account is my hotmail, not the local account account

    My wife has a separate profile (also hotmail) and has no problem with the integration of the people/Social site

    Performed troubleshooting:

    Removed all accounts linked and added the

    Uninstalled/reinstalled people (and all associated applications) (after you have reinstalled the application, that it has been connected for about 5 minutes.)

    account type changed to level local and back to hotmail

    I bought this OS mainly for this function, if it does not work I need to talk to a refund (I'm willing to help out and try the suggestions, but it must work or go...)?

    It seems to have solved the problem...

    I removed all the social sites linked from my profile and the value of my account at the local level.  Then add a new user using my Hotmail address.  Connected, add accounts to my profile and people connects now to them!  Now, I just hope it remains connected...

  • People App problem

    I recently bought a tablet of 8 flow HP with Windows 8, and I can't remove contacts from my application to people. He connected to Skype, and I don't want that. How can I get rid of contacts on this app?

    If the person is in your Skype contacts, you can't remove them from the people without any app:

    (1) remove this person from your list of Skype

    or

    (2) remove the link to the Skype app entirely so no Skype contact will never be listed in the people app.  To do this, go to people app, then settings > accounts and remove the Skype one.

  • Remove a friend from Facebook blocked people app

    For some reason, a person who has used to be my friend on Facebook, but has been blocked for a long time appears as a contact in the people application. I tried to remove this person from the people app but failed because:

    (1) there is no option to delete in the bar at the bottom (as it was added through Facebook).

    (2) I can not unfriend him on Facebook that he's been blocked for months already!

    Help, please! I'll be sticking with this person to always just because there used to be my friend on Facebook one volume long ago?

    This question makes me not want to use the people application, and it's a shame.

    People app stores no information, just to call the services connected (like Twitter or Facebook) and a list of names.  If facebook sends this name, then the people app will show.

    Make sure you 'a friend' the person before you block them.  If they keep appearing in your list of facebook, you will need to contact Facebook support.
