Hi guys
I'm having trouble syncing my contacts and calendar in Vista Ultimate. I have a P3300 running WM5 and when I click mobile device settings in Sync Center on the PC, I try select the tick box for contacts or the rest of the options for that matter, but the tick box does not allow any form of entry the only tick box that works is files the same happens when I try active sync settings on my phone. Any idea what I'm doing wrong
Thanks..
Not sure it would (should?) make a difference but could the settings for MS Outlook in your firewall cause a restriction?
Other than that I have absolutely no idea what could be causing the problem. Never come across that before
Have you tried deleting the AS partnership and starting again?
:clutching_at_straws:
I tried to delete it and re-installed Mobile device center 6.1 , but still nothing the tick boxes are solid, and only box I can tick is files, this is really frustrating...
You do have MS Outlook installed on your PC don't you?
Well not sure what it is called in Vista Ultimate anymore but I'm sure it's is Outlook and not Outlook express...

I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, and MS outlook, but still unable to sync. I don't think windows firewall would affect this.
Spoke to HTC and I think I might have found the problem. Vista Ultimate comes with a even more watered down version of Outlook express called windows mail and this mail program does not allow the sync features LOL , to think you buy a top of range OS but it does not come with a crappy mail program that does not allow you to sync your contacts and calendar.
I'm using Ricky's V24 Vanilla, which is awesome, btw, thanks! But I'd like to use Outlook Mobile and see that it's not an installed component of Office Mobile.
Since I use Outlook 2007 at home and work, I'd like to be consistent on my phone. Is there a way to install the Outlook component, or have to install all of Office Mobile?
I tried to install the version from MS, but it said there's already a newer version of Office Mobile on my phone.
Thanks!!
You can set up an email account from the phone by clicking the message button on the lower right corner and then go to setup-email... I believe this is what you are looking for right?
I did do that, but I don't think that's Outlook. that built in app seems to be simple, and plain. I'm looking for actual Outlook Mobile, for more functionality. If that is, in fact, Outlook Mobile, that's sad.
No that is not it did you try this site...
Outlook Mobile

Yup, that's where I went and downloaded, then tried to install, but it said there's already a newer version of Office Mobile on your mobile device.
All outlook on your phone does is syncs the emails on your desktop outlook with your phones outlook.
You can "install outlook" when you first pick the options on active sync to sync.
I think you can add it if you right click on your profile in active sync.
Hello evryone
After getting some hours to spend with my new Pro2 i was checking out the options to sync agenda email contacts etc.
However i am a new user to win mobile and i wasnt using outlook before on my laptop. I just installed it, however to sync it i have to enable the options in the mobile device manager that standard comes with the phone.
When i tried to sync my email etc i noticed that outlook is not installed on my pro 2? This is normal? i can get it of the cd aswell? how?
im a total beginner, any help would be apreciated
thanks in advance
Alsa
alright, i feel pretty newbie haha i i figured it out, so forgot about first post
however, i only have an hotmail email account, how do y sinc this with outlook and my pro2?
might not be possible, so maybe some1 can tell me how to sync my contacts to my outlook?
kind regards
Oh, man. I see you're a total newcomer, welcome to the Windows Mobile world! Your phone will look like complicated at first, but after a couple weeks playing with it, you should be able to start harnessing it's power.
Pocket Outlook is integrated on your phone. The contact tab, calendar, tasks, etc IS pocket Outlook itself.
In order to sync your contacts with windows, you need to have the syncing software installed. It's on your phone's CD. If not, then you can get it from Microsoft:
Windows XP and earlier, use Activesync.
Windows Vista, Seven, use Windows Mobile Device Center.
After the syncing software is installed, just plug in your phone, select activesync, and follow the instructions on-screen.
To sync your hotmail account directly to your phone, you can use Windows Live (add it to the program tabs) and then sign-in. If you want it directly in outlook PC, then search for the Outlook Connector.
For hotmail; go to the TF3D--> Settings--> email setup menu and enter your details as prompted; it will automatically create a hotmail connection file for you
I`ve been trying to get Onenote to sync with hotmail, with no luck. i go into the office hub, go to onenote, click on "all" and then hit "refresh" to sync. I get the following error message
"this notebook has either been renamed or deleted from the server. If this notebook has been renamed, do one of the following: change ntoe notebook name back to what it was, or delete this notebook from your phone and reopen it"
I can`t delete the notebook - the only one on my phone is called "personal (web)" and I`m not allowed to delete it, phone says it cnnot delete as its the one where default notes go.
I`ve tried creating a new onenote file on the web, but that doesn`t seem to help either.
Can anyone help??
one of the major deciding factors for WP7 was the Office integration, in particular Onenote.
I found that syncing isn't as easy as it should be.
BUt this guy managed to sort it out
here
hope it helps
Very helpful link. Thanks!
I have now fixed the sync problem by recreating the missing notebook "Personal (Web)" on my skydrive in the correct folder.
However, there are 2 niggles
1) The section names in the notebook will not sync. On skydrive the section name is "Phone" and on the phone its "untitled Section" - a manual refresh doesnt change this.
2) New pages created on the phone will not automatically sync to skydrive when saved. I have to manually force a sync by doing a refresh in the "pages" secion on the phone. I have Automatic Syncronisation switched on in Onenote settings.
New pages created on skydrive in the same notebook sync automatically to the phone without having to force a sync.
Are you getting the asame behaviour?

This is obviously operator error.
Recreate a notebook with the same name as the one you weren't supposed to delete on SkyDrive.
Same thing would happen if you were syncing to skydrive from desktop onenote.

Why even bother to send a reply if you are going to be so arrogant and unhelpful? read Hboos` reply to give you a lesson on how to be genuinely helpful. If you can`t bother to reply properly, dont bother replying at all.

Sorry, but I think I missed the answer also. I tried to sync my OneNote Mobile with skydrive for to have an opportunity to sync with my pc. Unfortunately OneNote 2010 on my pc and my windows mobile had different opinions where to find the Personal (Web). And so I deleted all the folders in skydrive and was going to start again. But now I have a folder on the phone I cannot delete and I cannot have another one as it seems. I recreate the folder structure on skydrive and build a new personal (web), but my phone does not believe that this one exists.

I had this problem too and it was a little weird way that sorted it out but I'll try to remember
I don't have my Omnia 7 temporarily but try this out.
1. Go to OneNote on your computer and create a new notebook to sync to "My Documents" on SkyDrive.
2. Name it Personal (Web)
3. Create a few random notes and pages on it.
4. Try to sync your phone now.
5. Hopefully it has created a new note called "Unfiled" or something and the Personal Web should work now
6. Set Personal Web as your default
7. Delete Unfiled..
Does that work?
As I said earlier, I don't have the OMnia 7 with me so the instructions might be a load of tosh
Let me know!
notebook lost on skydrive
Unfortunately it did not work. I build that new notebook on skydrive, but the phone still cannot see it.
maybe scoob will help you.
if not, my omnia 7 is coming back on fri so will help you then
did you make the notebook from your desktop Onenote program?
you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone.
then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.
try that!
I just tried that and it worked. I created another notebook from my pc on skydrive, connected on the phone via browser, set it as default and deleted the personal (web).
Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone.
Can't Sync OneNote Skydrive & Windows Phone 7
I didn't see this thread beforehand and deleted the Personal (Web) notebook from my SkyDrive to start and now I can't get past the error when I try to Sync my windows phone with the SkyDrive as I only have the one notebook - Personal (Web) - on my phone and don't have anything else to make the default. Any ideas on how to fix?
I can't seem to figure out if you can create a new notebook on the phone then set that as the default.
Any assistance wouldl be much appreciated.
it kinda helps if you actually read the thread too.. it's all been solved
just check the post above yours.
Please forgive me, I am having troublle following the directions
Please forgive an old man who has gone through all the posts and tried each step but is still having problems. I've condensed the post(s) below and put my comments/experience in CAPS hoping it is clearer and makes more sense than my prior post.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my prior post, on my Windows Phone 7, I only have 1 notebook displayed - Personal (Web) - and when i "TAP A NOTEBOOK TO REFRESH IT", I get the "can't find notebook" error.
I have tried to create a new notebook called "Personal (Web)" in the folder My Documents on Skydrive but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it on they syn.
I have also put a few other notebooks into the My Documents folder on Skydrive and tried the sync on the phone but still get the "Can't find notebook" error. I can't seem to figure out how to push another notebook to the phone so I can then make that one the default on the phone.
Any suggestions. If I've missed something in these posts, can you please point it out to me so i can fix it as I thought i hit each step but am still floundering. I know some others had a similar problem (posts here and elsewhere) but, at least, they had other notebooks already sync'd to their phone so they could name a new notebook as default. I just have the 1 "Personal (Web) that i can't get to sync to the server."

you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone. I CAN CREATE NEW NOTEBOOKS AND SYNC WITH SKYDRIVE BUT MY PHONE ONLY HAS THE PERSONAL (WEB) NOTEBOOK ON IT AND, ANYTIME I PRESS THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE PHONE, I GET THE 'CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK' ERROR
then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.
try that!

Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone. AS ABOVE, I CREATED ANOTHER NOTEBOOK ON MY PC AND SYNC'D TO SKYDRIVE. NOT SURE WHAT "CONNECTED ON THE PHONE VIA BROWSER, SET AS DEFAULT" MEANS. I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE IN EITHER ONENOTE ON THE PC OR ONENOTE ON THE WEB HOW TO SET A DEFAULT NOTEBOOK ????
Tell you what, i'll recreate the error and then put up the instructions in a more clear and concise manner.
That would be very much appreciated! Bill
My solution:
- delete everything notebooks (what you can) on phone
- start IE on phone
- go to skydrive.live.com -> My documents
- try open (from IE) notebooks on skydrive
this causes add a skydrive notebooks to phone OneNote notebooks
Ok
If you have accidentally deleted the Personal (WEB) notebook from Skydrive and are encountering the "CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK" error when trying to delete or sync it from your phone...
Here are the instructions
1. Ensure that your PHONE browser is set to view the mobile version of websites (found in settings)
2. Ensure that your phone is set to sync automatically Settings/applications/office/onenote
3. On your PC, go to your skydrive and create a new Notebook...call it "Personal" and rename the Section "Unfiled notes"
4. on your PHONE, go to office.live.com and login and click on your new notebook and then click on the icon
5. your PHONE will now automatically sync with the new notebook
6. on your screen you should see the notebooks on your PHONE. One of the pages of your notebook will have a picture of 3 pages fanned out...that Page is your default one.
7. click and hold the "Unfiled Notes" in the new Personal notebook you just downloaded
8. select "set as default"
9. now you can delete the PERSONAL (WEB) notebook from your phone by pressing the trash can icon.
Worked perfectly! Now why couldn't a 1+ hour phone call with MS support or the multitude of support pages they have for winphone 7 not post the 4 simple steps! THANK YOU!
The sync with One Note on the Windows Phone 7 is a bit confusing but here is your solution.
1) Create a One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account.
2) Under Properties of the FOLDER containing the One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account, click of the Share option and a drop down menu will appear to "get a link".
3) Copy the goofy long link that Microsoft Live give you and email to yourself to be received on your phone.
4) Open up your email and your One Note will now show up on the phone.
5) If that doesn't work, then simply sign onto Internet Explorer using your Windows 7 Phone and sign on to Windows Live Account. Browse to your One Note Notebook using your WP7 phone and click Open in One Note and the Notebook will then open up in One Note.
I had the same problem and the above worked for me. I think I skipped step 3 and 4 above and went direct to step 5.
This will work. Just give it a try.
I wanted to sync my HTC Pro tilt 2 with a newly installed Outlook on my laptop.
My tilt2 has no Sim card anymore
I used USB cable and ActiveSync on the Tilt 2 and Windwos Mobile device Center on my Laptop
The device displayed headings for Microsot Exchange and Windows PC
Windows PC got nothing. Microsoft Exchage "processed"
986/986 it took 4 hrs.
As I write still is going and I have no idea where did my contacts go. They are not in Outlook. I can't find them anywhere in my laptop.
All I want is to get them frompoutlook into a text file or vCard format to transfert into At&t Android 3.2.5 Sansumg S II Skyrocket.
Addtionally I got the Pim.vol file from Tilt 2 But Skyrocket wants a vCard format. How do I convert the Pim.vol to vCard?
Where did they went and on wht format?
Thanks, I'm stuck without my contacts.
Not that this one really matters but you're in the wrong section

Why did you post this here? This has NOTHING to do with the Tilt2.
Wrong device - wrong operating system even.
Forget about your Tilt 2 and syncing your contacts to an Android phone the way you used to. WinMo and Android are completely different animals. You CAN ActiveSync Outlook with Android, though, but it has to be through Hotmail's servers. Do a Google search as there's a lot of info out there on this. I'm doing it and it works near flawlessly with my Hotmail accounts. You might check into Android Manager, as well.
