I was running active sync on outlook to backup my contacts 650 of them. Instead the contacts on my MDA EXEC were wiped of and finished up with no contacts. Can I reverse the syncronisation.
Otherwise I am ****ed had all my clients there and some I need to call by tomorrow.
It is stuped the program should realised to copy the contacts where there where none. And not none where there where contacts
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP OTHERWISE I MIGHT FINISH FIRED
my settings in microsoft active sync where there is conflict was replace items on desktop.
Why is it that now outlook overwritten my exec contacts to start with a clean paper.
PLEASE HELP, PLEASE PLEASE. I never got anyhelp regarding other stuff I asked but this is very important.
Thank you
Hi,
Today my phone locked up completely and wouldnt respond so i soft reseted it. Still it wouldn't respond, so i had to hard reset. Seeing as that i have synced it with active sync numerous times, will activesync have my contacts stored?
If you copied your contact details from your sim into your contacts in pocket outlook on the universal AND set up the sync to do contacts, then the answer is yes.
if you have synced in the past, and you have choose to sync contacts, then yes, outlook will have an updated copy which can be synced back again.
open outlook and have a look to see if they are listed.
suggest you consider using a backup software for just such an event eg SPB backup.
OK well I am using PocketCM as my contact manager. I have to entries for EACH one of my contacts, and NO one of them is not the SIM card contac, i have sim card contacts disabled. In MS Outlook i HAD to of each contact, so i deleted all of the duplicates and synced. I still have duplicate contacts. So i deleted pim.vol and resynced and it gave me 4 of each contact!!! I didnt understand. SO i put back the original pim.vol and I am stumped because I still have duplicate contacts. Is there any way to fix this?
the contacts on your phone and outlook were probably not exactly identical
this is quite long-winded but is simple and should work:
-Used NS contacts to backup all your contacts on your pocket pc
-Backup your outlook user folder/s
-delete all your contacts, on outlook and pocket pc
-check the ns contacts backup file on pc (you'll have to install the NS Contacts (different to NS contacts Backup-the pocket PC program) program on PC)
-After checking for and deleting duplicates, save the backup file
-Use this file to restore your contacts on pocket pc, once your satisfied, sync with oulook and you'll have the contacts on outlook also
remember to check which of the duplicate contacts you delete, some may have missing details etc.

Bugger that for a lark !
Guess this is a strong reason for not using it. Anything that messes with synchronisation is to be well avoided.
I actually synced a clean phone (ie just burned new rom) with my Outlook contacts and hit this problem.
Humble pie
After a stopping and starting the prog my double contacts disapeared, and I have since had a look at it and I must say I quite like it !

Just wondering how you do this on your pocket pc, without having to delete each one by hand.
I've just sorted my contacts list on the pc and don't want to have to do it again so don't want to sync the phone with the pc till after I've deleted the triplicate entries... deleting each one by hand is kinda tedious seeing as my 100+ phone numbers have been duplicated twice.
there's a way to sync the phone contacts with outlook, if you have doubles most likely you can simply highlight all the duplicates at once and hit delete. this method you'll have to sort by modify date on outlook, cause your old contacts will be dated before the duplicates (which is probably all added later) so just look for later added contacts and be gone! =)
right I did the deleting the contacts the long way on the pocket pc. They've all now gone and I deleted all the contacts in the sim manager.
sorted all the ones I want in my outlook.
Synched the phone.
.... and now I've only got 2 contacts in my phone...
anyone any ideas what i'm doing wrong. Think it might be to do with my set up with my synching, but i'm having trouble finding how to solve that.
While sync i click stop button and lost all contacts from touch. how i can recover it now, contacts is very important. never this phone synced before and there is no contacts in outlook. i just click stop when it start the sync. please help
Today I helped a friend flashing his HD2 for the first time. I used my own laptop since I have everything on it.... I synced his HD2 trusting the data would be saved seperate... It didn't... Now I have 600 extra contacts and my calendar is full till 2012.... Is there any way to undo this?
My HD2 is still clean btw...
What happens if you delete the partnership?
I dont know, but I dont think it will delete the agenda items, do you?
EDIT: Ended it, and still stuck with the agenda items
I don't think there's a way unless you have a backup of your outlook file you can restore.
Maybe a risky thing, backup your outlook file, delete the partnership in WMDC (on the PC, not on the phone), delete everything you have on outlook, set WMDC so that the mobile device replaces the PC, and recreate the partnership.
Yes I was thinking about that to, but how do I set my HD2 to replace all on the PC?..
In WMDC on the PC... but actually it seems that's within a partnership, so not sure it would be kept if you delete it...
well thanks! I'm going to try it tomorrow, I'll post the results
Well.. I deleted the sync relation on my mobile and POOF all my contacts etc were gone... -_-.. **** happends

This happened to me when syncing with 2 PCs... with one of them had not synced my contacts in the first place... after trying to sync it, my phone was empty... then wanted to sync with the other one, where my contacts were still sitting...
guess what, the sync deleted all the contacts on the second PC, too... Fortunately, I had a backup... and now I sync my contacts also with MyPhone, just in case...
