ActiveSync does NOT do all contacts!

Need some help here please guys! ActiveSync does not sync all my contacts between Outlook 2003 and my M5000.
I've tried starting the Sync from both the PC and the M5000 but it says there are no changes. I have 130 contacts on my PC and only 114 on my M5000. I've tried the three latest official and unofficial builds of ActiveSync including the new official one that came out yesterday. I've tried:
1. Editing the contacts on the PC to see if the M5000 picks up the changes - NO
2. Deleting the offending contact on the PC and creating them again - Finds it on the first sync but not again after
3. Creating the contact on the M5000 - Same as above, finds it on the first sync but not if I edit it later.
Plus, it doesn't sync notes on contacts - Is there any way around this as it's a function I could really really do with!
Is anyone else having similar problems?? Can anyone else Sync their notes?
Most importantly, anyone know how to fix it or get around it as this is a major problem for me as I simply don't trust it now!?!?
TIA

Have you tried AS 4.1 (you must uninstall AS 4.0 first): http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

Yes - I'm currently running 4.1.4841 and I have tried the two versions before that (I uninstalled/rebooted each time before trying different versions)

Right... I've removed and reinstalled Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 4.1.481 and I've sorted it now! The contacts that did not Sync all had either photos or notes so they wouldn't sync - Don't know if this is normal or not but definitely the case here!
I've now deleted the notes and photos where necessary and everythings syncs nicely now.
Note: I've still got my old SPV C500 here and have found the following:
Contacts with no notes = Syncs on C500 AND M5000
Contacts with notes = Syncs on C500 but NOT M5000
Contacts with photos = Syncs on C500 but NOT M5000
If I make a new contact on my M5000 and add notes it syncs fine with the PC the fisrt time but not after I edit it on the PC.
Easy!

I have posted the question on the Microsoft commuities forum:

Activesync 4.1 Problems

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
John

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 !
Cheers

Sync Error on Vista

hey, can someone help me out here...im going CRAZY!!!
I'm running on Vista, Outlook 2007, WM6 PV3.
I get this error message on Windows Mobile Device Center:
View status%ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop.
I've been able to sync just fine but for some reason, I tried today and I got that message. I restarted to phone and computer, deleted the partnership and created a new one. It even erased all my contacts and calender data on the phone. Anyone know how I can get it to sync again without un-installing outlook?

Can't make outlook 2007 sync with windows live or htc touch hd

New guy here. Greetings to all.
I recently had to change my laptop due to hard drive failure. I managed to recover most of the data and exported all my settings.
After I installed outlook 2007 I imported all my settings and emails. I tried to sync with windows live, but no success.
I found some info saying I had to install 'outlook connector'. I did so, but still no luck. I did the error check with outlook, no probs detected there.
After a while I realised that my HTC could not sync with outlook either. It said it had synced, but nothing had changed. I reinstalled activesync, no luck. I reinstalled outlook, no luck. I reinstalled outlook connector, no luck.
I'm not keen on outlook and use windows live instead, but I am sick to death of windows no allowing me to use windows live email, calendar etc with activesync. Is there any programme that allows importing of outlook and 'live' data, syncing with windows live and can sync with my HTC Touch HD?
I've spent ages trying to find solutions, but I'm not the best at this sort of thing.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

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
