i synced my contacts on outlooks express 2007 and i want to know how to put them back on my phone
If your contacts are saved in outlook ... connect your phone to activesync and set it up with that profile and it should sync them back on there.
You may have to delete the phone profile you have under activesync's file menu, then plug your phone back with usb and use the setup wizard that pops up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so if the contacts get erased off my phone but the contacts are on my computer in outlook the contacts will automatically be put bac on my phone
Yes, once you setup your activesync settings properly, it will copy all your contacts back onto your phone.

I've lost all the contacts on my wm6 address book... Is there any way i could get them back?
Here's what i did.. basically i connected my mobile trough activesync (using windows xp) and i though it would be neat to backup my contacts also (i didn't have the contacts checked in the sync options of activesync). After i checked the contacts and clicked the sync button all the contacts from my mobile were gone.
I don't use outlook even though i have outlook 2007 installed.
Also everything that was checked to sync has gone (notes, tasks etc)
first you may check if _pim.vol_ file in the root directory exist. you may open it with excel on the computer and try to read your contacts. if no, say good bye to your contacts
second: it was said to WM users many times !!always backup your data!!
use _contacts backup_ utility on your pda, or save it in outlook, and you'll never have problems.
Check the deleted folder in outlook. Assuming u sync with outlook. They may all be there - worked for me before, just copy them back into contact and let it sync back...
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.

Ok so i have my touch synced to my hotmail account and on my laptop i have the outlook plugin to sync my hotmail account.
i have a copy of my contacts on my outlook for back up so when my phone sync i get double contacts from syncing to the hotmail account and when i plug my phone to the laptop to sync.
is there anything i can do so i wont have to keep deleting double contacts? every time it sync's to either one.
Disable "Sync Contacts" on your device.
when i do start / programs and go under activesync when i click on menu / options then uncheck contacts it give me
to proceed activesync must remove all contacts synchronized to our device, i dont want to remove them from my device.
is there another way?
You should select Options - Settings - and under "If there is a conflict", select the corresponding options to resolve your issue.

hi when i sync my phone with outlook using active sync, it duplicates all my contacts on my phone and on my computer contacts, i now have 3 entrys for each person on my phone and comp, firstly how can i stop this happening and second how can i get rid of duplicates. i would only like to use the sync options for calender and contacts, please help as its really annoying. thanks
Sounds like you are syncing with two different computers or you have an old sync profile still active on the phone? This results.
Options.
1. Remove one of the sync profiles from the phone under Activesync (on the phone not via PC) preferrably the old one.
If all your present PC outlook contacts vanish, dont worry, just look in you deleted items folder in PC Outlook and move the required ones back to contacts.
2. Search the web as there are a few duplicate Outlook item removers around.
