I have win 7 hp and office 2007.....whenever I come to sync contacts between device and outlook the wrong contact list appears on my device. Even if i delete all of the contacts on my device and re-sync, the old contact list appears and it is not the correct list. It also shows duplicate contacts. How do I get the device to sync the correct contact list?

Hey all,
So I have the Rogers Dream, and whenever I go into my contacts app, it doesn't show any of my contacts. However, if I wanted to send a new text to someone, I can start typing a letter or whatnot and it will show their name and number perfectly. How do I go about correcting this issue?
Also, how come my dream won't sync to my PC? It only sees it when I activate the USB mode, I want to be able to sync my contacts over to my PC. How can I make this happen?
Thank you for your help!
Ok, on the phone open up the contacts app. Hit menu>edit sync groups. Make sure sync all contacts is checked. Hit ok. Menu>display group select all contacts and hit ok. If your contacts still dont show up then you need to get on your computer and log into your gmail account and check to see if you have contacts listed there. If there are no contacts there or not the right ones im guessing your contacts are on your sim card. If this is the case then in the contacts app menu>import contacts.
There is no real sync to pc option on the Dream. Your contacts, calendar, etc. are all synced automatically with Googles servers. If you want access to that info on your PC then you just have to log in to your gmail account and you can see your contacts, calendar, etc.
Hey thanks for the help with the contacts not showing up, I just had to change the view mode from All to Contacts with numbers and then back again. It must have been a glitch.
Anyways, since I can't sync them in the terms I am thinking, how can I send the contacts back to the SIM card? I have yet to see an option for that
I've exported contacts from my previous Nokia phone to my PC's Outlook Express Address Book (Not Microsoft Outlook but the one present with Windows XP). Now I want to transfer all those contacts on my new TD2. But when I'm connecting it via ActiveSync, it is giving message that contacts cannot be synchronized as Outlook is not installed on Windows PC.
I could not understand what does it actually means. Pls guide me exactly what I need to do to copy my contacts back to TD2.
You should have got outlook (full) on a cd with the phone, if you install it you can import all your contacts (usually does it automatically).
The just sync with windows mobile device centre.
I already have MS Outlook 2007 installed on my laptop, still its seems phone is not recognizing it. Do you mean to say that I need to install Outlook on my phone also...But CS contains only 60 days trial version of Outlook...don't know if it is for phone or laptop..
Searching particular contact
Thanks...problem solved..When I restarted my pc, phone detected the Outlook..
I've 2 more queries:
1) All the contacts are shown in lastname, firstname format. Can I change them to firstname, lastname format, so that when I'll select alphabet from right bar, it positions as firstname.
2) When I open contacts while dialing, they are positioned at very beginning. If I've to search for some particular name, I cannot type the contact name so that it appears. Instead I've to select alphabet from right bar which only positions at starting of that character. So is there any way that I can search contact by typing the name partially or fully...
1) search for contact changer.cab on main forum but if you are syncing with outlook, I always thought it picked it up from there, try changing the "display as" option in outlook then resync.
2) Try icontact (search on main forum for info) far better than main contact app IMO
1) Although I've set firstname, lastname in Outlook, but still it is not showing same in phone.
2) I've installed iContacts. It is working fine. Thanks!!
1) that applies to all new added contacts.
On Windows Vista i used to sync my phone through the Windows Mobile Device Center, and Microsoft Outlook, and get all my contacts from phone to the pc, and if my phone was hooked up also, if i add a new contact or change a detail of an older one in MS Outlook, it would immediately take change in my phone also..
Now a couple of weeks ago i put up Windows 7, and install the Outlook Connector, and now when i connect my phone, it wants to send all the hotmail contacts that i have right into my phone, which i dont want ofcourse, and if i try to delete them, they would delete from my address book and from MSN Messenger also! so im stuck here, im not even hooking up my phone to the computer cause otherwise i'll have my whole phone's contact list messed up with a bunch of email addresses of a bunch of people that i dont need on my phone, and that i cant delete cause i dont want to lose them from my computer or my MSN list either.. this is stressing!! hahaha, so if anyone had this, or knows how to set the Outlook/Connector/WMDC to keep outlook(hotmail) contacts on my computer and sync my phone contacts in a diferent folder without mixing them together, please, it would help me a lot!
EDIT: when i installed windows live on the phone, i unchecked the option of syncing my hotmail contacts, so thats not whats causing it, its purely because of Outlook..
Running Outlook 2007 - Connector - on XP sp3
When I set-up the Hotmail contacts installed to a separate address book. So my Outlook contacts are in "Contacts" whilst the Hotmail are in "Contacts in n****@hotmail.co.uk"
I know that you don't have Activesync which only sycns the main contacts folder. Are there other options in W7 version of AS (sorry can't remember the name). Do your hotmail contacts show in a separate contact folder?
I've lost my outlook connector toolbar and can't remember if it had additional settings.

in windows 7 i have windows mobile device center, and now i only have 1 "contacts" folder. thats the main problem i think, thats why everything is in the same "contants" , i remember a while ago, when everything used to work good, i did have a "Contacts" and seperate i had "Contacts in [email protected]"
any idea how to add/seperate them?
Not sure... Have tried uninstalling - but didn't seem to dump all of the data and on re-install has done every thing automatically..
see here
I tried to re-install to see if there were any additional setting, but I didn't remove properly.
Have a look under the account settings. You should have two data files... Are the mails being delivered to a different mailbox?
i still cant figure this out!
now i know the problem is that i have the same "contacts" folder both for my outlook contacts and for my hotmail contacts,,, i need to seperate them.. if anyone knows how?
Hi,
i have previously had this problem aswell.
recently i purchased hd2 tmobile USA version.
and i had alot of contacts on outlook, so i synced it with hd2.
after that i started making changes to my contacts on the phone like adding facebook tags etc.
then when i resynced most of the contacts got deleted.
now the only setting i see in windows media device center is
"replace items on device" or "replace items on desktop"
what i want to do is sync both ways meaning add contacts from outlook to hd2 then if i make changes or add facebook tags on hd2, then resync i want the information to get updated on outlook (pc) aswell but instead what happens is outlook recognized info that doesnt match and deletes it on the phone and all data gets lost.
please let me know is it possible.
thanks for helping out.
it should already sync both ways (it does on mine anyway, and always has on all phones with activesync)
the part about "replace items on device" or "replace items on desktop" should only come into play when there is a conflict (eg you edit a contact on your phone, edit the same contact differently on your pc), only then 'should' the 'replace items on..' kick in and decide.
I suggest you clear your sync partnership and start over, making sure you have the latest wmdc installed.

i think youre right. what i did was added some contacts frm pc to phone and some i had on my phone. also some contacts i had added from pc to phone that i updated on my phone like facebook etc so when i synced everyrhing got messed up.
i also hve another question. i have two .pst files with contacts on them. is there any way i can put a few contacts from one file to another?
thanks alot.
ya you can. in outlook go file - import - import from personal file.(I forget the exact wording, I'm afk atm.) then browse to the pst.
file -> manage datafiles -> add, select your pst, it will be loaded and appear as a separate folder, then you can copy whatever you want between them.
My htc HD2 used to, automatically, somehow import my FB friends birthdays in the HTC Agenda. Now, whatever I do, I can't find where to set it so the birthdays imported by the phone, don't come back.
I logged in on FB with dataservices menu, sync apps: FB, datasync enabled.
Next I'm always logged in with the FB app from MS.
So I don't get why it was possible when I got my HTC at first, and now, after a few hard resets, erasing all data (because I like trying new tools), it doesn't automatically update/show up CALENDAR BIRTHDAYS (facebook status etc gets updated, I do see birthdays on contact page itself, but not HTC Agenda) at all. Regards
I have the same problem :/ I can see bithdays reminders for some contacts and for others i don't get any reminder in HTC Calendar. I can see dates on contact page but nothing in HTC Agenda.
EDIT:
Ok, I found the workaround:
1. Check for birthday date on every contact with link to facebook. Open conact card and check is there any date or date with "f" (facebook) symbol. If you see with "f" or there is no any date, go to edit contact card, remove link with facebook, and link again. After that you should see birthday date not only in contact card but also when you click edit contact card
2. Sync contacts with pc outlook
3. Check pc outlook calendar - you should see reminders
4. HD2 - Start - tools - activesync - options- sync contacts AND CALENDAR (check source seetings: I have keep item on my device if there is a conflict)
5. Sync contacts and calendar
6. Check HTC Calendar
7. If you had previously any reminders, clean calendar (check current and next year) for any duplicates
8. Sync again to remove duplicates on pc.
From now on contacts birthday date and events will be added automatically via activesync. Just check, when linking conatct with facebook, do you see events dates on "edit contact card" tab, activesync with pc and done
