Guest simonastro Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 hello folks I seem to be in a real mess! was all smug with new Touch HD next to cherished Trinity and setting up my contacts etc as follows both HD and Trinity activesync to outlook 2003 both also sync to google using Goosync (primarily cos I use google diaries but activated contacts to keep google utd) was all going swell til suddenly noticed my friends had disappeared from HD checked outlook and am over 200 contacts down :) I've always known that google hasn't soaked up them all but it has never been a problem so.... somehow google has overwritten HD has overwritten outlook and my contacts are missing on outlook missing in google missing on HD BUT have complete set on beloved trinity - though in the form of a PIM backup file (disabled goosync as no longer on a data plan!) problem is when I activesync they are wiped as Outlook takes precedence and cannot edit data direction how can I restore my missing contacts?? have tried extracting PIMbackup file (its a renamed ZIP file) but result is garbled and if I try to import the data I get a "Input past end of file" error can I dig them up from the pOutlook data file - whatever that is? I would be very grateful for any help cheers simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrJoneswii Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I hope you'll find a way man. Something similar happened to me once, but I luckily had made a backup in excel. I had to input everything all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
