I've had a quick browse but couldn't find anything obvious.
Basically all I want to do is to be able to sync contacts from my artemis (b&b 4.1) and my xp machine pref using outlook contacts. I ran live messenger and now have 100's of unwanted emails on my contact list and its a bum to keep deleting them on that small screen.
Any ideas for how we can do this? (i'm using activesync 4.5)
Cheers

I know that Activesync is free and helps to sync my PPC to Microsoft Outlook and it is based on Partnership. I want to sync the same Microsoft Outlook .PST file which can reside in my Office PC and my Home PC.
Even when I have the same .PST file in Microsoft Outlook from my office PC copied to my home PC, Activesync will take it as a different PC and I'll have to combine all the information from my PPC and Microsoft Outlook and delete duplicates after that. This is very troublesome.
Is there something or setting that I can do on Activesync to solve this problem or is there other software that can solve this troublesome step?
When I was using Palm OS, I don't have this problem
Thanks.
i hv this problem
i cant select calender with my active sync to sync it with my BA
did any one yet able to get me the settings to get out of this mess as i have most of my meetings planed and saved on my outlook
I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...
contacts sync'd to phone but not outlook
what has happened is all the msn contacts have sync'd to the phone but not to outlook.... any ideas why
update
on the menu. select what you want to sync both contacts and messenger and merge duplicates with outlook are ticked

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

can't find anything in the Wiki so... I sync my standard WM5 O2 Orbit with Outlook (XP Home) on my laptop, but I can't find a way get the phone numbers stored in the Orbit's Contacts onto the laptop (as a back-up). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Connect via active sync, (I am using activesync 4.5)
Open activesync go to tools, options then tick the Contacts box.
This will then sync your contacts to outlook.
Thanks b99...my bad, I meant the phone numbers on the sim card.
Having just read another posting on this subject, it appears it is a little harder than I can be bothered with.
Thanks again though.
Hi,
I have a trinity with wm6 running.
I do not like Outlook at all. I run Thunderbird for my email.
Does anyone know of a way to sync the contacts on my phone with those on my pc, ether with the Windows Vista built-in contacts or with Thunderbird directly.
Or even a third party program that could run when my Trinity is in the cradle.
TIA

SyncExpress can be an answer but it's not free :-(
Thanks, if the program is worth it I will pay. But syncExpress syncronises between outlook express and PPC, windows vista doesnt come with outlook express, but I use mozilla thunderbird anyway.
Check out http://oggsync.com/ It will sync with google calendar and I'm sure you can get google calendar to sync with thunderbird.
Take a look at this page. It has some options for Syncing TB with PDA. I think this is what you are looking for.

I need help, I recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my desktop Pc. I then installed Windows Mobile Device Center and Microsoft Outlook so I can sync/backup my contacts. Well now when I try to sync my phone Windows Mobile Device Center gets an error. I tried to sync it with my laptop that is running Vista Ultimate and i get the same thing. I think I probably need to hard reset my phone but I can't because I don't have a backup of my contacts since I reformatted my desktop pc. Anyone know what the problem could be with my phone that's causing it not to sync? Or what is another useful tool to backup contacts. I have Microsoft My phone and it won't let me backup contacts cuz I already have it set to backup thru Outlook.
Are you running Outlook 2010 on a 64 bit operating system by chance? If so, the Mobile Device Center won't work. I was searching about this all morning.
D.
No i'm running Outlook 2007. I think it has something to do with the phone cuz I'm unable to sync it with Vista or Windows 7
Have you a gmail account?
If so set it up with Exchange to sync your contacts and calendar, then you can reset the phone
i have the exact same problem!
besides that, i see that when i sync, Office 2007 (and WMDC 6.1 on Windows 7) takes the contacts i have in hotmail, and the contacts i previously had on my phone, and adds them all together, and then syncs them to my phone.. this is killing me, everything i sync my phone i have a bunch of unsorted and unwanted email addresses in my "contacts" in the phone.
any solution for this? before i used to sync contacts with no problem, in Office i even had a seperate group for hotmail contacts and just my phone contacts.. now its only 1 group together, any idea how to separete them??
