Copying contacts from HTC to Vista PC - Touch HD General

I have a brand new Vista PC with Outlook, but no contacts. I also have HTC HD with a bunch of contacts on it. I am trying to synchronize those two in such a way that HTC contacts are imported onto PC. It seems it only works one way - PC to HTC. At least Vista is telling me contacts are successfully synched, but I see nothing in outlook. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hmmm....I came acrosss this option somewhere...have a look in ActiveSync (when your device is connected, otherwise everything will be greyed out), tools->options. See if you can't find 'synchronise' instead of 'overwrite' (or something similar) in a drop down box somewhere.
Or try rightclicking on 'contacts' in the lower part of the ActiveSync panel.

Activsync doesn't work with Vista. Download Windows Mobile Device Center from here....http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx

That is what I am using.

Have you tried clicking on 'more' in mobile device center and going to 'manage a partnership'?

do you have outlook installed??
i had to install it to pass the contacts from nokia to blackstone
pc sync works on vista. it actualy comes with it so no instalation is required

There is an optional setting for this. When syncing either you replace on the desktop, or on the device. I think you have to change from PC>>DEVICE to DEVICE>>PC.

How to change that option??

Activesync and Outlook in Qtek S200-PROBLEM!!!

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with synchronizing my contacts, calendar, tasks etc. When I start Active sync, it synchronizes all the files (music, photos, etc) and programs but could not synchronize outlook!! I reinstalted several times Microsoft Outlook 2002 (which was on the getting started CD) but it doesn't help. When the synchronization is over, the following message appears, when I click on the Exchange message: "The server could not be reached.This can be caused by temporarly network conditions. Support code: 80072ee2"
On my PC, I use Outlook Express 6.0, maybe it's not compatibile with the MO 2002??
Also, I don't see any ikon of the MO 2002, I could not open it on my PC ( could not find it), but in the folder of Add/Delete programs is present (192 MB)!
The message on my device is: Exchange Server Synchronized: None.
I really don't have any idea what should I do to synchronize properly all the information.
Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and could share the experience.
I would be very grateful!!
Hi marbron!
First thing you need to do is sort out the Outlook installation on your PC. If you can not open it, it is not properly installed. Since you can't sync with express, you have to let Outlook 2002 replace it as your default mail program.
Second, when you created a partnership in ActiveSync, you must have chosen to sync with Exchange server directly (first V you get).
When device is not connected, go to File->Delete mobile device, then connect you device and create a new partnership. Make sure you uncheck 'Synchronize with Exchange server directly' on the first page.
Hope this helps.
I don't know why I still have problem with the Outlook. I delated the program and reinstaled it again, I delated the device on Active Sync and connected the device. The message was, that I could synchronize only files, music etc and not contacts, calendar, task because I don't have Outllook instaled...
During the set up wizard of Outllok there is a funny message, that the program will instal the following aplications: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and there is a red cross with (not available), but when I click:instal it does it properly only in one moment the system message appears: you don't have a disc inside, please insert disc (the disc is of course there!!). I have to click several times on continue and then the message disappears... Of course, again I can't find the program on my PC, only it appears on add/delate programs.
I really don't understand it. Maybe the version of Office that I have (Microsoft Office 2000 premium 9.0.2812) somehow creating a problem.... Or maybe the program on my official CD has problem (I don't think so, because Active Sync from the same CD is working ok)...
I really don't know what I should do.
Any ideas???? :idea:
So, any idea?? Could somebody suggest me what should I do???
Please!!!
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I can't sync my PDA at all now. It used to work ok but starting 10 days ago it simply stopped. The only think I did was using the Internet Connection Sharing applet. After using this applet - no sync at all. And the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in Windows XP displays a stupid message; see atachment.
marbron: It sounds to me like your CD may be damaged or dirty so some parts of it (namely the ones with Outlook) are not readable.
Try cleaning it and the drive.
In any case you should also delete the partnership from PPC side before establishing a new one.
Innovative: Internet sharing disables ActiveSync but should restore it when deactivated.
Did you try to reset your device? If you are using an unofficial ROM this may be a bug and you may have to hard reset.
Also how are you using WMDC under XP? It was my understanding that thing is for Vista only.
Any way, try AS 4.5 and see if that works better for you.

Syncing contacts in Vista

Has anybody got any ideas?
My VISTA Windows Mobile Device Centre can see my blue angel, I can click on the file management and look round my device, but it will not sync with my Microsoft Office outlook files.
In the past it would just say it had synced, when it hadn't actually done anything. And now on a laptop it seems to be trying to synced for ever. But when I tell it to sync on the pocket PC it says "waiting for network".
Is there anybody having no problems using vista mobile device centre and windows pocket PC 6.1?
Help
i had the same problem today it was easily solved just by rehitting the sync button, do you connect over bluetooth, wifi or usb?
I am connecting using the USB stand.
I must have hit the sync button about 100 times.: (
This is very strange, because it has just partially synced. The story is this, because there is no contacts ON my telephone I had created a couple, and no matter how many times I have tried contacts haven't synced. Anyway this morning I was just creating a note for myself. I went into the windows mobile device centre/mobile device settings/change content sync settings, and de-selected everything, but then selected notes for the first time. Miraculously, not only did the notes from my telephone go on my laptop, all the notes on my laptop (in Microsoft Office outlook) went on to my telephone. I thought I had cracked it, selected contacts to see if that would sync, but no joy. this really is a mystery.
So I thought I will tell it to sync files, you know where it create a directory on your desktop, well that has also worked. All of the files on my pocket PC have been copied into a directory on my desktop. But sadly, still contacts etc. will not sync.

This may be a foolish question but do you have your phone contacts saved on to your sim card or have you converted them to your phone memory. Also have you tried creating a new contact using Microsoft Outlook and then syncing

No I don't have them on my sim, I have no contacts are my telephone, I'm trying to get them to sync with the contacts I have in Microsoft Office outlook.
I have tried creating new contacts, new tasks, in both the telephone and Microsoft Office outlook and then syncing, no joy.
Thanks very much for your kind effort.
I cannot imagine why the files and the notes would sync, and the contacts, calendar and the tasks won't, but here is some other information.
When I click on the activesync on my pocket PC it it says "waiting for network". When I go on the menu and click on status " result: the server could not be me. These can be caused by temporary network conditions." When I click on "view support code" I get "support code:0x80072eff".
Any other suggestions welcome, thanks for his help so far.
Just a thought, as a shortcut to this problem, is it possible to create a file from Microsoft Office outlook of my contacts, which I can import into contacts on my pocket PC?
If so;
What would the format of the files need to be?
Where would I need to place in my pocket PC?
How would I team put into contacts on my pocket PC?
Still got this same problem, the notes and the files will sync, for the other items such as contacts will not synchronise. Still getting this;

Windows PC
Result:
The server could not be reached. These can be caused by temporary network conditions.

I have noticed in the communication manager there "data connection" option is grey, and I am unable to select "on".
I am wondering is there some kind of security issue with Microsoft Office outlook 2007? It does seem very strange that it is synchronising the notes and other files, but not the rest of the stuff
Data Connection in the Comms Mnager is for your GPRS connection. and is greyed out if there is no live connection.
I've been suffering the same over here.

Looks like we have the same disease. I installed the new Manila 2.5 on my P3450, and it's a beauty.
But ever since, it just won't sync with my MS Outlook 2007.
Running Vista Ultimate SP1 with every possible update, and now it got worse, I reinstalled the WMDC again, and now, every time I plug my Elf to the PC the WMDC crashes.
The way I see it, must be a bug either on my Windows or the WMDC itself.
If I find out anything I'll post it as soon as I find out.
icontact?
I was having a similar problem which was being caused by a third party contact manager. (iContact Burt Edition 6.3.1) The upgrade to his new 6.4 solved it for me.
Hope it helps.
my solution for vista was Dashwire. Provided many more solutions as well.

How to move contacts from mobile to Office Outlook?

I have all my contacts on my phone and i want to move them to the computer. Im afraid if i connect the phone to the computer it will synchronize with the empty outlook and delete all my contacts from the phone. How do i move the contacts? I cant do it via Bluetooth.

hi Cooney,
you can try using iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite.
It allows you to backup both contacts and SMS from windows mobile to computer - Backup contacts and SMS into Text file format(.txt file).
I would backup your contacts in a .txt file via your HD and then transfer that file over to your PC, when you connect your phone via USB, make sure you select the Disk Drive radio button to avoid having ActiveSync immediately synchronise with Outlook. Then access your Removable Disk from My Computer and transfer the file over to your PC from there.
Hope this works.
Best Regards.

When you first establish an Activesync connection to your pc, it asks if you want to merge phone and pc, replace phone details with pc or pc details with phone. Choose either the first or last option (first is better for future sync's)
The iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite sounds like a good idea but it costs too much. I discovered that i could change the settings before it synced my contacts, so now i have it connected to the computer but still no way of moving my contacts from the phone to the computer. Are there no free ways of doing this?
Activesync is free. Did you not read my post?

Yes. That's the annoying thing, iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite as you will have to eventually have to pay for the software. However, if it makes any difference, you can download it from the link provided above, and use it's Free-Trial offer - allowing you to only backup the first 20 contacts/SMS.
EDIT: you might want to try Turbo Contacts Backup. It's free but it's requirements state it is only compatible with Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5 , 6 , 6.1... try it out and hopefully it will work with 6.5.
.
Regards.

Hi again Cooney,
First off, you are not stupid. Things are only easy when you know how.
Try this:
In WMDC on your PC, go to Options -> Settings and choose the setting to merge items on the desktop.
Hope this helps you out dude,
Best Regards.

Okay, my fault. I am using you as a guide as I don't use Windows 7 or WMDC
What you will need to do is delete your WMDC partnership (both on PDA and PC) and next time you try to sync your device to the PC with the USB cable, you should be given an option to merge your items or opt to replace all items.

[Q] Windows Mobile Device Centre won't sync outlook notes

My HTC HD Mini has stopped syncing Outlook notes for unknown reasons!
I am running Windows 7 / Windows Mobile Device Center, and Outlook 2007.
Everything used to work fine, and then one day when I connected my phone, I get the following error:
Window Title: Windows Mobile Device Center
Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
If I go into the WMDC "change content sync settings' and remove Notes from the list, I don't get the error.
Everything else seems to sync fine, it's just notes that causes the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it, as I rely on my notes like I rely on my fingers, i.e. I use them ALL the time!
I've resorted to using a spare PC to sync my notes for now, but it's not ideal.
maybe you can delete partnership at all, then re-creeate new partnership ?
But.. make back-up to contacts and data first..
brgds.
Yeah, I tried that already, but thanks for trying to help anyway.
I'm about to wipe the device, and then install the three updates from the HTC website. But I have a feeling it wont fix the issue....

[Q] HD2 Windows Phone 7 Sync With Mobile Device Center

Not directly, only if you have an Exchange account. Otherwise it's through Google or Outlook and Hotmail connector.
I believe schapps is working on a 'WP7 Device Centre' which will mimic many of the old style Device Centre functionality. Not sure even then that it will allow direct sync with Outlook though.
Everything works fine except when I try to sync my phone with Zune it disconnects the internet. Anyone?
Are you running as admin on the machine?

Are you running on a restricted account or you are running as admin?
Also things worth rechecking....
Did you run XBMODD? and you copied the file into the Windows root ? Thereafter did you run connection setup ?
Make sure that this is being identified as a T9292 in the about section of your mobile...
Then go to Zune ... with your phone disconnected.. opt to "Forget the Phone " and reconnect your HD2 ... here you should be asked to name your phone ... click next ... finish ....
One last thing to recheck is to make sure that the regional settings of your machine and the regional settings on your HD2 (WP7) and your Windows Live account (for which you used to activate) are all the same. Also make sure that the time / date on the machine is synchronized. I ran into issues when I had some of the above wrong...
Hope this helps.
Regards
Al
