hi everyone.. i got this problem, my active sync is not working, but when i open the active sync's connection setting the usb connection status is connected... but no synchronizing is happening to my magician... please help, thanks
Did you tell what to sync, like inbox, tasks etc.?
If yes, then maybe delete your partnership and re-connect to go through the process of setting up what needs to be sync. Maybe that will work.

Hello everyone. I am have an issue when try to syncronize my contacts via active sync 4.1. When I establish my partnership between my PDA and my laptop, I can choos the contact tab in te partnership wizard. Everything looks good until I actaull syncronize. When I sync, contacts does not actually sync. When I look at the setting on the PDA, I see that contacts is unselected and I cannot selected.
I have tried repair my office. Uninstalling an reinstalling outlook as well as activesync. This is very frustrating... Any ideas??!!?? :shock:
Not reinstalling ! Isn't the problem...
In your contact unsync, you may have photo or notes...
either you remove photos and comments, or you recreated your contacts by adding photos and comments to it since the pda.
I have an M3000 Orange and the same problem...
Still having a problem syning contacts with AS4.1
Problem: Contacts option greyed out in 8125's syning option
Info: Cingular 8125, Outlook 2003, XP, via USB, Acitve Sync 4.1
I have tried searching...found this post but it did not help since none of the contacts have photo's or notes attached.
Found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30287&highlight=contacts+gray+grey
But it never resolved the issue. I did try the suggestions - but still isn't working.
This post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9389&highlight=contact+setting didn't resolve the issue either.
Just showing that I did try and do a search and combed through many posts but no solutions were found....any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Just a guess... I had similar problems when I first got my phone. Any chance that you brought in your contacts via the Sim?
You can copy or move contacts from the sim using the phone's SIM Manager app.
Bringing in Contacts
Nope. The contacts that were in the SIM have not crossed over. I want the contacts that are in Outlook. But as long as contacts is greyed out I can't. Thanks.
Same issue
Hi:
I have the exact same issue on my 8125. The contacts box is grayed out on the device's ActiveSync Options (unchecked). I am unable to sync contacts. Any idea what is wrong? I searched everywhere without any working solution???
ActiveSync issue
OK, I have a pattern that I use all the time that keeps me out of trouble. Perhaps it will work for you guys. Verify that Outlook on the PC has all the data you eventually want on the Wizard. Then, on the PC side "delete mobile device" in activesync. If that finishes and everything gets deleted from the Wizard, fine. Disconnect the Wizard, remove activesync 4.1 and update to 4.5. Do a hard reset of the Wizard (sorry, everything will be wiped out), and after its fully rebooted, correct the time and time zone settings in the Wizard, and reconnect to the PC.
If the "delete mobile device" doesn't look like it worked, try just disconnecting the Wizard, uninstalling 4.1 and installing 4.5, hard reset of the Wizard and continue as above.
When you first set up the profile, in activesync, uncheck everything EXCEPT contacts. So only the contacts will sync the first time. After that works successfully, add the calendar and tasks. After that try adding other stuff to the sync profile.
Good luck,
For some reason active sync keeps on hanging on me when I sync my Jasjam. Anyone have this problem?
Try a repair install of Microsoft Outlook
Tried it but it still would not sync. Help anybody please?
active sync
uninstall active sync from comp. Delete keys from registry. Do a backup of your registry before you do this.
Then try and install active sync. This should help you
Try temporarily disabling your firewall
BTW did it used to work and has now stopped or has it never worked with the PC you're using?
Ever since I "upgraded" to dcd 3.2.6, I can no longer sync with Outlook contacts. The only thing that syncs is Outlook calendar. Under sync-settings the contacts box is greyed out. Even if I uninstall/reinstall active sync and establish a new relationship I still cannot transfer contacts. Also, under "Getting Started" it says I need a CD rom to transfer contacts. What CD are they referring to?
Any ideas?
How many parternships does your phone use? I can only seem to get one parternship + exchange to work on mine, if I try to sync with a second PC, it only lets me sync files and notes. Not sure if it's related, but you might try removing all partnerships from both your PC and your phone and then create a new one and see what happens.

How do I remove a partnership on my phone? I removed all partnerships on my PC via activesync. How do I do it on the phone as well?
Thanks for the reply!
Open Active Sync, Click on Menu and then Options (this is on the phone) and it will show any partnerships including your exchange settings, it will also show what items are currently set to sync with each partnership, you can either delete the whole partnership or just adjust whats getting synced, turn off contacts on all of the ones that don't need it and turn it on for the one you are working on and it should become available, if that doesn't work, delete the partnerships and try again. If it still doesn't work, then something is misconfigured on your PC, default contact program, etc, something is wrong.

I ran into a problem similar to this when trying to Sync WM6.1 with 2 PCs. WM6.1 has a security "feature" that prevents syncing with multiple PC's; it has "non-local cross pollination" disabled.
It will Sync if you change a registry setting located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0". As long as you're not trying to Sync to the same Exchange server from two different PC's (or your Outlook default files have the same name), it will work fine.

I ran into this exact problem the article describes. I have an exchange linked account at work and I use an OTA exchange link with Mail2Web, and a stand along Outlook at home. It won't let me sync Contacts, Calendar and tasks with all 3, only 2 at one time. I will test this and see how it works.

Hi all,
It driving me insane that I can't work it out why Activesync is not syncing my phone.
Here is the situation. Got the phone from my brother. With him it synced fine, with USB cable, with Outlook 2003 and WM6.5.
I have the same setup but Outlook 2007.
What happens is that when it connects, it finds the device, I only set it to sync contact, tasks and calender of outlook. It then says "Looking for changes" and soon after it says "Synchronizing". But then it hangs.
I searched the forum and the internet. I tried reconfiguring, soft resets, installing CompanionLink (software that works through Activesync).
No joy!
I simply want to be able to keep my contacts, calender and tasks from outlook synced. Nothing more.
Any help!!?!
Unistall your firewallproduct and disable the windowsfirewall. Restart and try again.
Wait a very long time. I have a phone were this step need around 10 mins.
Dear Folks, I am having a problem Syncing.
It has worked fine for about a week - but it will now not Sync. Additionally, every time I try to Sync the HD2 puts some 20+ entries on today's date in my Outlook 2003.
Frequently, when I try to Sync it will crash Outlook.
I have uninstalled all "Partnerships" on HD2 and PC. I have uninstalled the ActiveSync software on my Win7 (64nit) and reestablished the partnerships all without success.
If I do not Sync with the Calendar, it will Sync OK, without crashing. However, if I add Calendar to the Sync objects, it will not complete.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

cable sync or bluetooth??
bluetooth with many entries causes problems sometimes (for me)
Activ Synch
I know it sound silly but do you find you can sync with one machine but after synching with the other it will not work with the first?
On win 7 before connecting try opening ActivSynch on the mobile, clicking options and de-selecting all items. Click OK and the re-open options and re-select the sync items. OK again and connect to your pc.
For XP when you have connected the phone open activ sync on the pc and de-select the sync items. OK and then go back in and re-select before ok'ing again.
I know this sounds long winded and is a pain to use but it seems to be when you are synching to 2 machines rarther than just one. I tend to suynch at homeweekly and work daily!

Try running compact on outlook data files. (Tools - account settings - data files - double click the data file(s) to open properties and click compact now.)
Also worth running a scan for errors on the .pst file.
Theres a how-to HERE
Hello
Think about your firewall, that can also cause the problem

I'm having a similar problem when trying to sync with Exchange 2003 SBS SR2.
Emails and contacts are fine and sync well as long as I'm not trying to sync calendar events. As soon as I check the box for calendar events I get an error, although it's not the same error code as the original poster it's the same result.
I'm running WWE 1.66.
Dear Folks,
Now working - I had corruption on my PST. Used "samsamuel's" idea and then upgraded to Outlook 2007 and then archieved all old emails and calendar events older than 14 months.
Now works!
