Pardon my extreme newbie-ness...
I picked up a Cingular 8125. When I use ActiveSync I am having trouble with my contacts. I can get the contacts from my PC into the mobile device, but the contacts already on the mobile device will not sync over to the PC. Somehow I feel like it has more to do with the way Outlook might be set up in my PC but I have no clue.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I just got a MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) from T-mobile (UK) and installed Activesync 4.1 OK (well it caused my Windows XP machine to crash before I updated the Nforce2 Motherboard drivers!).
Now, I can install & remove programs OK.
But I can't get my emails and contacts etc from Windows Outlook 2003 (Office Pro 2003 SP2) to my Vario - even though activesync does a synchronisation??
Also contacts generated on the Vario don't end up on the PC outlook 2003 either??
Any ideas ? Before I have to manually enter all my contacts & addresses??
Cheers

for me active sync works first time out of the box.
you chould have a look at all the options and make sure they look sensible. Under options-->sync options. make sure contacts is ticked and settings look correct to you.
As your device is new, I believe you are entitled to free support from microsoft for 60 days and for tmobile for the life of your contract. I don't know about tmobile support but I have always found the microsoft technical helpline extremely good, and surprisingly few consumers use it!

Thanks for that - it must be something to do with mt desktop PC as I loaded Activesync 4.1 on my centrino laptop and got my contacts onto my MDA without any problems? Both are using the same Windows XP Corp so I don't think it's a windows issue and the only real difference between the laptop and the Desktop is that there is a ADSL/Router with Firewall connected to the Desktop, which may be upsetting the transfer of data from Outlook?
I did try a Bluetooth connection but that didn't work either??
Strange that I can load/unload programs, browse my PDA through Activesync but I cannot exchange data from Outlook 2003 to the PDA??
this could also be a problem with your outlook profiles. i.e. it could be that it is syncing, but with a new profile that does not include your old data. Have a look at the outlook options.
The extreme way to deal with it, is to export or backup all your outlook contacts and diary and other data. Uninstall outlook, rebnoot and make sure you delete the folder under program files. Then reinstall fresh. Setup to sync with PDA and then reimport all your old settings. Although this is a last resort.
Well do to a corruption of my root hard drive MBR I had to reformat and re-install windows (A nice long job!) - and would you believe it, that the newly installed activesync is now working properly - ie emails and contacts are synchronised on both the Desktop PC and my Vario???
Oh well I'll know next time !

Hi, I'm having difficulties using my calendar at the moment. The calendar I'm using is Outlook 2003. I can sync my calendar if I put an appointment from my computer, but not if I add the appt from my mda vario. not sure whats happened it was working fine, any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
You may need to look at your activesync settings, look in tools, options. Also you could try deleting the mobile device profile and then re-connect the phone and let it rebuild.

Yes - activesync will sync your contacts into Microsoft Outlook. From there, it's easy enough to export them to anything you like.

I had the same problem. I had to delete the mobile device from Active Sync and reestablish the connection. Worked after that. However, I lost all my contacts when I did so.

uninstall your Outlook 2007
or uninstall Office
What the others said... reinstall it all, remove profiles, perhaps even remove the mail folder on your device. Outlook is nice when it works, but when Activesync stops working with it, it's a PITA.
Thanks for your advice, I have reinstalled Outlook, reinstalled activesync. I really cannot get rid of my personal settings as I have to many contacts, appointments etc, if anyone sles has any ideas, I am at my wits end.

Are you using Exchange? I recently had a similiar problem trying to get my work Exchange email (Outlook 2003) and my home computer POP3 Outlook 2007 to work.
Ended up being a security setting on my exchange server. My OWA security settings were wrong.
If you need specifics I'll tell you what I did.
Due to having multile contacts onmy phone i decided to tidy it up up bit, i deleted them all of my phone and then tidyed up my pc outlook 2010 contacts also, i then thought it would be a simple case of using active sync to put all my pc outlook contacts/info onto my phone, but it only seems to have done a few, what can i do to resolve this? or have i screwed up somewhere, please help, cheers

Try to uninstall activesync 4.5 from your PC.
Tnan reinstall it. - This will create a new sync account and will re sync all items
as nothing was existed.
While establishing the new sync account, in the opened window of active sync
on your pc, define it to: "replace items on my mobile".
Do not define it as: "leave items on my mobile unit."
I hope that will help u.
Good luck
