Nokia 6230 Contacts Sync Problem with Outlook

I have a Nokia 6230 and used to sync my contacts with outlook using PCSYNC. Now I receive a message that sync is completed but only 1 or 2 contacts are copied to the outlook (always the same ones). I have already updated the PC Synch version many times, tried to change configurations on PC Sync and on the phone, created new folders on outlook and sync profiles, cleaned the configuration files on "documents and settings" folder, contacted Nokia phone suport in Brazil, but nothing worked.
I use Windows 2000 SP4 in English, connect through Infrared and have the 6.81.13.0 version of PC Sync (I have already tried many other versions). I'm using Phone memory. When I use PC Sync explorer those same few contacts that are synchronized are the only ones that I can see in the contacts folder.
I think the problem is in some configuration file in Windows environment or I have a problem with the phone set.
Please if anyone could help me I would apreciate. I have lost many hours trying to fix that problem.

Today I searched through the discussions and found many other users with the same problem (Himalaya2050, Marbru, tugrulislier). Almost everybody using Nokia6230 and using international character set, maybe the root cause for the sync problem.
I think Nokia should have a tested fix for that problem.
Was the phone update the solution for other users? Do you have any feedback? I haven't found in the discussions any user with that problem solved.
When I first contact Nokia support in Brazil they told me to do many time consuming procedures (reinstall and update PC sw many times) that didn't worked and didn't make sense for me, as the sync was working with previous version. So I don't want to try another non tested solution, because I will have to go to a tech assistance, wait and probably loose all the information stored on the phone.
I think I will have to exchange my phone ...

Contact sync problem in Link.

I am facing 2 problems while syncing contacts with Blackberry Link -
When there are sync conflicts, the small window that appears listing all the conflicts is unresponsive and the scroll bars in it don't function. The information is not completely visible.
I have multiple contacts with more than 1 mobile number(more than 1 phone number, and all of them have the same field 'Mobile'). When I sync these with Outlook, it seems to save only one of these numbers. I came to know that the numbers were permanently lost when I exported my Outlook contacts as .vcf files to my old Nokia s40 phone.
I realise that the second issue is not associated with Link, but that leaves me with no way to preserve my phonebook except using some contacts exporting app from Blackberry World to export my phonebook as a single .vcf file, which again is not supported by Outlook(it seems to import only the first contact from the .vcf file).
Please suggest me some way to batch-export my contacts as separate .vcf files.
I found out recently that Samsung Kies supports .vcf files with multiple contacts, but it also shows only one out of 2 or 3 mobile numbers. Also, there is no way in it to batch-export the contacts, and I cannot export 785 contacts one-by-one.

Hi,
same problem here: iPhone does not sync contacts any more, either way. I've searched Discussions, reinstalled iTunes after having deleted prefs and cache, reinitialised iSync history, restaured iPhone to factory setting, unlocked again with Ziphone 3.0, checked New phone in iTunes, nothing nothing nothing: no contacts were transferred from my Mac to the iPhone. I've tried to back up and erase my Addressbook: useless. I've tried adding a single contact. not synced. I've checked, and I don't have any particular custom filed on my Addressbook. I've noticed that on iTunes the contacts groups that I have on my AB, are not seen and checkable on the INFO tab, sync contacts section. It's like iTunes and AddressBook are not "communicating".
I can't believe such a vital function cannot work! and I have no clue what do to, since I refuse to reinstall Leopard for such an issue, too much of an hassle!
Please, help!

Outlook contacts sync puts some 1st AND last names in iPhone 1st name

After I initially synched all my Outlook contacts onto my new iPhone, some of the names show up on the iPhone as "lastname firstname" (which is what I want), but some show up as "firstname lastname". The problem with this is that they don't sort correctly. I've looked into the Outlook contact, and, in both cases, they have the correct firstname and lastname fields. In the iPhone contact, the entire name (firstname lastname) is in the iPhone firstname field and the lastname field is blank. I can find no other difference between the correctly synched contact and the incorrectly synched contact.
Any suggestions??

The sync messed up somehow. Sync does that sometimes.
If you plug in the phone, but don't sync it yet, I believe there is an option somewhere (labeled Advanced) to overwrite the information on the phone with information from your computer. You might try that, for contacts. Explore all the iPhone panels in iTunes.
Alternatively, delete all your contacts on the phone and re-sync.
Caveat: I'm no sync expert and don't use windows.

ITunes 10.1, Outlook 2010 Sync-Problem

Dear Apple community,
My name is Thomas, I'm 27 years old, come from Austria and i am new here.
As it´s most, I came to this forum in search of a problem solution.
Unfortunately, I have not found this solution yet, so I opened this thread.
Here is my problem:
I use a PC with Windows 7 Business, Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1.
Now I would like to synchronize my Outlook contacts using iTunes on my iPhone.
But in Outlook, I have several contact folders, as well as Private, professional, etc.
With Outlook 2007, I was able to synchronize the contacts folders i want with iTunes.
In Outlook 2010 the option to select the contact folders i want no longer appears in iTunes. I can only select the option to synchronize all contacts.
So my question:
Are there any known problems when you synchronize multiple contact folders with Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1?
Is there a trick, that I can see my individual Outlook contact folders in iTunes again?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Thomas

This was reported months ago, but Apple don't care enough to fix it.
If it was just Outlook 2010, I could understand the problem was with Microsoft, but I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007. I have even gone back to using iTunes 9.2.1.5, and still I can't sync my calendar with Outlook, which has rendered my iPod Touch useless since I have to use my old iPaq Pocket PC.
Had this bug been fixed, I would have bought an iPhone.

Outlook contact groups problem in iTunes v11

How can i find the Info Tab in iTunes v11?
And my main problem is; how can i select the desired contact groups in Outlook Contacts which the sync with my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1.

Hi,
I would like to create two folders - one for me and one for my wife. So under 'My Contacts' in Outlook 2010 it looks like this:
Suggested contacts
Contacts
Suggested contacts (email address)
Simon's contacts
Julie's contacts
iTunes has picked up these sub-folders - THANKS!
However, I would like to keep the 'Contacts' folder with all the contacts in and only copy selected contacts from there and place them into my wife's folder and mine. The 'copy' function does not seem to work.
Obviously my contacts are different to my wife's and she does not want hundreds of names on her contact list.
So, basically how do I copy contacts without moving them out of the contacts folder and manually typing them all back in my wife's folder (some contacts we both need)?
Hope you can help on this one.
Many thanks,
Simon

I found a temp solution for outlook contact sync

I along with many 5G ipod users are unable to get itunes to sync their microsoft outlook contacts. I found a way to transfer all your contacts fairly quickly by exporting them as vtf contact cards.
What you do, is select all the contacts in outlook you wish to export using shift or control clicks, right click on one, then under "send full contact", click on "In Internet Format (vCard)"
This will open up a separate window that will send all those contacts as attachments in an email. All you need to do is right click on one of the attachments, and choose select all, then right click and choose copy. You can then just paste the files into your contacts folder when your ipod is enabled for disk use.
I know this far from a permanent solution, but until apple can get it's act together and make it properly sync contacts, this will work for me.
Keep in mind I did this with office 2007 beta. It may be slightly different for other versions, so you may have to play around with it a little.
I hope this helps!

At the risk of sounding sarcastic, a good solution is to use a room where you're not going to get the glare. Something like editing photographs really needs a location where you can properly see and work with colours and contrasts. Your problem is not your Mac, it's your location!

Outlook contact sync changes email properties!!! How to stop that?

Hi,
when you modify or add a new contact on the iPhone, once you synch it with Outlook (2007 in my case), all iPhone contact emails properties are changed in outlook.
I have set Outlook to default to send email in HTML, not in RTF:
Tools->Options->Mail Format->Internet Format-> Convert to HTML Format
This means it won't send RTF mails at all, first converting them to HTML messages.
Outlook "offers" a way to override this setting directly in the contact form.
If you open a contact in Outlook "Contacts" view, then double-click its email address. You get a dialog box called "E-mail Properties".
By default, it will use "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" as the "internet format" mode. This comes from the default we have set above.
Problem is that each contact modified in the iPhone resets this "Internet format" for that particular contact to "Send using Outlook Rich Text Format".
This is ways stupid since when you send a formatted email to someone who doesn't have Outlook, then (s)he gets a plain text email and an attached "winmail.dat" file that is binary and containing the formatting and attachments, built-in pictures, etc...
This file is recognized only by Outlook and can't be read if you don't have outlook or a utility to decode those files.
Can Apple fix this and keep the "Internet format" settings as it is in Outlook?
And if you create a new contact on the iPhone, then, when synching, use Outlook's default Internet format?
Is there a workaround to this annoying problem?
I know that Outlook is tricky, not the iPhone or iTunes, but we have to live with it.
Thanks for any help
Steve

Outlook Contacts Sync - Partial SOLUTION to error (-50)

Im using Outlook 2003. Was getting the error (-50) while trying to sync contacts to my iPod. I resolved it by:
- Go to the Outlook Contacts View
- Go to File -> Folder -> Sharing -> Outlook Address Book
- Click the check box for "Show this folders as an e-mail Address Book"
- Apply the settings
You should now be able to sync contacts. However, I could only sync a partial list.
I have not tried calendars.

This works great... but if you find that the check box is greyed out... try this solution first.
Tools>E-Mail accounts>Add new Directory or Address book> Click on Additional Address Books> Chose Outlook Address book> (Then it will tell you to exit outlook and restart outlook> Then you could right click on contacts > Go To Properties > Click on Outlook Address Book (now these options are no longer grayed out) Put your checkmark in Show this folder as an outlook E-Mail address book. and then Click OK.
This DOES NOT solve Calender sync though.

Outlook contact sync

The last time I synced with Outlook, a lot of the same contacts came up multiple times -- around 50+ times each. Seems the only way to delete them is individually. I would like to know the following: 1) is there a way to do multiple deletes and 2) what made this happen. Many thanks for help.

There isn't really a way on your BB to delete them individually. There are apps that you can download (like Advance OS & LED) where you can export your contacts to an excel spreadsheet, then you can delete the duplicates there, clear out all the contacts on your BB and Outlook, go into Outlook and re-load your contacts file, and if you have sync turned on, then your contacts should pop into your BB.
...and, unfortunately, I'm not really able to shed light on #2 -- only thing I can think of is maybe you turned contact syncing off, then back on again, and then you got duplicates...sorry, good luck!

IPhone to Outlook Contacts Sync

Would love to be able to have my iPhone Contacts sync to Outlook contacts, NOT the other way around. [The first time I tried it, it wiped out my iPhone contacts and put the old Outlook ones back in.]
Now, I see some improvement in the updated versions of iTunes, but I simply have no idea what the WARNING Screen is trying to tell me -- something about more than 5% of the contacts will be changed, etc, etc...CHANGED WHERE? My iPhone or my Outlook?
It would be so much easier if we had a choice to sync Outlook to iPhone or iPhone to Outlook without wiping either database. Is that too difficult to do?
Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

The sync process for contacts with the supported application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process.
If the supported application on your computer has contact info and your iPhone doesn't, the contact info with the supported application on your computer will be transferred to your iPhone with the first sync and be kept synchronized afterwards with following syncs.
If the supported application on your computer does not include any contact info and your iPhone does, your iPhone will be erased of all contacts with the first sync.
If the supported application on your computer includes contact info and you have manually added contacts to your iPhone, you should be provided a merge prompt with the first sync, which should be selected. After the initial sync and merge, contacts will be kept synchronized with following syncs.
iTunes includes an option to replace contacts on your iPhone with the contacts in the supported application on your computer. After doing this, contacts will be kept synchronized with following syncs. There is no option to replace contacts in the supported application on your computer with your iPhone contacts.

One way Outlook Contacts sync

Can Outlook contacts be synced to the iPhone only (one way)? I do not want iPhone contacts uploaded to the iPhone.

Hey PAWA33,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues syncing iCloud contacts with Outlook. The following resource may provide a solution:
