Transfer contacts from Nokia to iPhone

Googling and found 2 methods: Outlook Express, Yahoo.

So I first synchronized N73 >> Outlook Express >> iTunes.  Then switch within iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo because I used to copied contacts from Outlook to Yahoo in the past: i.e., to consolidate all to Yahoo.

However, just noticed later not all contacts in Yahoo were not synchronized to iTunes!  Spending time last evening

  • Mostly because defective contacts (Yahoo) had too few information.  I tried to assumed that at least there must be [1] first & [2] last names, and [3] phone# of mobile type (many of them were type “Other”).  But however it was no longer true when I fixed records until ‘K’.
  • Until it became failed (no more synchronizing) around ‘K’ and I repeated a few more times, iTunes prompted (due to >25% changing) that there were additional ~300 contacts to be added.  I was no hesitate to accept }:)

 

Still questioning

Had Yahoo data been synchronized properly with Outlook Express when I switched iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo?

Win7 Backup error!?

"Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))"

Searching discussion in Internet, some refer to review HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...
But I think a suggested workaround is quite simple and more effective: create subfolder "Themes" that it want to find.

Header part would be better optimised:-
- Unnecessarily lengthened: "Firstname Lastname <firstname.lastname@domain.com>" -- any Labs' tweak to display shortname/nickname?
- [show details] would be icon button to save space.
- Or better 2 lines to cover necessary brief.

iGoogle gadget: My Google Groups

http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=www.google.com/ig/modules/mygroups.xml

I rather cancel it. Its setting: sort by 'New messages', seems not work as expected -- still list groups alphabatically with 4-line room. So it does not help notifying me new updates from the method I click 'Groups' link at the top of iGoogle page.
