Hi All,  I know that MS has brought out the transfer music, photos, videos and podcasts but thats not much use if you want your texts contacts ectera.  I have got the Backup set to automaticaly backup app list+settings, texts and photos to the cloud but for some reason its not happening.  I have SkyDrive on my phone and PC but I am still seeing empty empty folders in the SkyDrive.  To save my hair can anyone tell me how I can get my texts and photos onto my PC.

Why has Nokia not created the PC Suite like that did for the Symbian Phones that was great.

Please use the forum search function, this is asked and answered many times before.

You have no access to the data backed up using the function on the phone. Video and photoscan be synced to your Skydrive or copied to a PC using the companion app or MTP.

Contacts, calendars and skydrive are on outlook.com where you log in with your Microsoft account. or you can use a number of tools, especially Microsoft essentials to access the information on your PC. All these are built in to Windows 8.

Reading the help available on windowsphone.com might also be a good plan.

Thanks you for your reply.  SkyDrive is what I am trying to use, I have set everything to automatic in Backup and nothing appears in skydrive so could you point me to a KB artical or something else that can tell me what I need to do because evry thing I read tells me to do what I have done and it still doesn't work.  As nice as the phone is to use I am getting disallutioned with it and wondering if I did the right thing getting it.

The data you backup is not accessible through Sky Drive. Only photos and videos are there. Contact, as posted before can be found on contacts.live.com
