Lost contacts on PC or Mobile Phone


This can happen with Live Messenger without warning as there is an error in some versions of Messenger.

So we suggest back up your contacts on a regular basis or whenever you make a change

To do this :-

1. Open Windows Live Messenger
2. Click Menu -> Contacts
3. Click on "Save instant messaging contacts"
4. Select a folder to save and enter the file name

Phone contact lost when synchronizing with computer

I have lost my address book contacts when synchronizing my pc with my phone

When synchronizing your mobile phone with a computer all your contacts are lost.

Try this solution :

Do a search for AddressBook.data.previous

If you find this file another file called AddressBook.data, should be in the same folder , this will be the empty one.

Drag the file AddressBook.data to the desktop and rename the AddressBook.data.previous to addressBook.data

Now reopen AddressBook
