6300 PC Suite - No Contacts and Cannot sync

Hi,
I am having a problem with contacts and synchronisation.
When i try to access the "contacts" directory through the nokia phone browser i get and error: "Failed to start update" followed by: "The operation could not be completed"
Syncronisation doesn't work either; don't get anything even just selecting 'settings'.

I now have 100% proof it is a Nokia software fault on the Vista? Office 2007 platform.
As my XDA finally went deaf in the earpiece receiver I had to rely on the Nokia, without contacts or diary on the road the tool was useless for a mobile business worker.
In desparation I fired up an XP laptop on our office network, created a new user account and opened a new Outlook 2003 profile.
I then deleted the pst file.
Copied a backup of my Outlook 2007 pst from the Vista machine across the network to My Docs on the XP laptop.
Next I opened Outlook 2003 and when it could not find the default pst, directed it to the copied one in My Docs.
Now I installed Nokia PC Suite 6.85 on the XP laptop.
Connected the Nokia 6300 when asked.
EUREKA!!!!! when the Settings button on the Sync menu was pressed THE WIZARD APPEARED
...and the Sync worked flawlessly, 386 contacts copied from Outlook to the phone and many diary appointments and Notes.
All these function properly in the phone itself as well
BUT...this is a right pain in the a... for me to have to boot up the laptop every time I want to Sync and copy the latest OL 2007 file from the Vista pc to the laptop.
I dont even dare want to plug the phone back into the Vista pc, or should I - what would happen?
Does this not give a clue to the Nokia programmers of how/where to fix this for Vista/Office 2007
Regards
Phil

  • Contacts and calendar syncing independent of iCloud Drive?

    I assume contacts and calendar syncing is independent of the use of iCloud Drive?
    In other words: on iOS7 and older, you cannot use iCloud Drive  but you can sync contacts and calender with iOS8 devices (and Yosemite). Correct?

    Hey lexvo;
    That is correct. For more information on iCloud Drive and iCloud Contacts, check out the following resources:

    My ipad has latest iTunes (11.1) but iTunes on my computer (mac 10.5.8) is now no longer compatible with ipad software and cannot sync. The same error message appears saying my computer needs to update software, but my mac has the latest software available (albeit rather old). Can I undo the software update on ipad??? Thanks

    Thanks for your response, Niel. Is there no way of removing the last update from my ipad????
    Appreciate your help

    The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications.  This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files.  I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect.  I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed.  Will let you know if that makes any difference.  I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches.  If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
    Best,

  • My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa.  Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

    My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa.  Wherever I input the information is where it stays.  My contacts and notes sync just fine.  Please help.  Very frustrated.  It used to work just fine.  I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

    I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
    I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
    My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
    Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
    Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
    Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

  • Alternative "Cloud" for Contacts and Calendar Sync

    After trying and giving up on Mobileme i am looking for an alternative to sync my OUTLOOK calendar and contacts between Home PC (Outlook 2003) Work PC (Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007) and my Iphone, I really dont care how its done but i just want real time sync if possible (Paid or Free).
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    Mark

    Mark,
    If you have an Exchange Server you should use Active Sync, this gives you real time calendar, contacts and mail sync to your works mail server. You can then configure you home PC to connect to Exchange using Outlook Over Internet (OOI) access, this way everything syncs up to Exchange.
    A common mis-understanding is that people assume your home PC has to be part of your work Domain for OOI to work, this is not true as long as you import the security certificate from the server.

  • Hotmail Full Calendar/Contacts and Email Sync Poss...

    You can set up hotmail to sync calendar/contacts and email (all folders, just like imap) through the N900 but have to set it up as an "exchange" account.
    In the email client add new account and select "exchange" and put in your username and password.  The next page will ask for the server which is m.hotmail.com - leave the domain empty.  Select SSL (which it does by default.)  Then set up your sync parameters. 
    This is nice for consumers who don't have a work exchange account that takes care of syncing for you.
    If you run Outlook - you can use the Outlook connector to sync your contacts/calendar to Hotmail - which will then sync onto your N900.  This way you won't have to use Ovi or PC Suite to sync...
    Just passing along... I searched and found some info on this for other Nokia devices - but nothing for the N900 so I thought I would mention it.

    kudos for that, since i upgraded to pr1/2 i've been changing between both google and hotmail, but after pr1.3 i decided to stay with hotmail.
    anyways here are the settings to get google account working :
    Calendar AND contacts sync settings can be created by:
    1st  Open settings menu.
    2nd  Open "Email for Exchange" submenu.
    3rd  Filling in the fields as:
    a. Server: m.google.com
    b. Port: 443
    c. Secure connection: check yes
    d. Conflict resolution: your choice
    e. User name:  [email protected]
    f. Password: your password
    g. Domain: leave blank
    h. Synchronize e-mail:  leave unchecked.
    i. Synchronize calendar and tasks: check yes.
    k. Calendar:  N900 (to populate existing calendar) or create a new one
    j. Synchronize calendar back:  your choice
    k. Synchronize completed tasks:  your choice
    l. Synchronize contacts:  check yes
    m. First synchronization: your choice
    A note of caution:  For this sync to work your calendar must be empty.  If you have already used the synchronization tool to transfer the calendar data from your old phone to your n900 it will not allow you to write the Google calendar data from the server into it. The n900 calendar will remain as a local, unsynchronized calendar and you must create another calendar for synchronization purposes.  However, I believe this is not the best way to go.  Instead, if you have already transferred your calendar data from your old phone open the n900's calendar, select all, and delete.  Then the Google server will synchronize its data with the N900 calendar.
    Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

  • Can you use iCloud to sync contacts and still sync google contacts too

    Just switched my contacts over to sync using icloud between my imac, iphone and ipad. Im wondering, can I sync the contacts somehow with google also? Would be great to gave everyting together and have web access to contacts on any computer.

    I should've just tried it before I asked this question.  Once I disconnected my internet completely, I was able to fully see and use my iCloud Documents, etc... They must be stored elsewhere on the computer instead of somewhere obvious like the Documents folder.
    I was able to open, edit, etc... and it appears that once you do connect to the internet that the new edits will sync with what's stored on iCloud, and then become accessible to your other devices.
    Of course, I then after doing all this, found a similar question which already had answers.  Sorry to clutter up the forums.

  • HELP! - Playlist Gone and cannot sync :(

    Last night I went to update my iPod and suddenly it started removing the songs from the Playlist I had to put on called "Selection for iPod" and then it said:
    "Songs on the iPod "Name" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist."
    How do I remake/get these back?
    Thank you

    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Syncing Music to iPod
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

  • Error Messages: "There is no disk in drive..." and "Cannot Sync (-124)

    Hello everybody,
    Kind of a unique case, but problems started for me when I upgraded to Itunes 8 on my new Toshiba Netbook which runs Windows XP. Seems like everytime I open Itunes and insert my ipod nano (4th gen), I get a Windows error message that reads "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk in drive." After clearing from this message (it doesn't matter whether you press Cancel, Continue, or Try Again), I try to sync my music. No go. I receive an error from itunes that reads "Cannot sync music due to unknown error (-124).
    Right now, this case has been kicked around Apple and Toshiba for two weeks. I'm getting frustrated becuase Apple is telling me that it's a fault with the operating system since Windows is assigning the wrong path to ipod. Toshiba is saying its a software problem with Itunes. As I wait for a solution, I have no functioning Ipod since it can't load up any new playlists.
    I've tried the 5 R's, created a new user profile on my computer, and even changed the location of my usb drive for my inano. None of it has worked so far. One suggestion did work in getting rid of the error messages but didn't do anything to unlock my inano. It was the suggestion to go into "my computer" and checking the properties of my inano, then checking the boxes to scan and repair any errors windows finds in the inano. After this attempt, I'm starting to believe that it's a software issue with itunes 8. Something I want to believe since it saves me the trouble of sending my new netbook to Toshiba for work.
    Any ideas here? Thanks for the help

    try uninstalling the drivers
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes
    If that does not work, try changing the drive letter
    Go back into Computer Management
    Click on Disk Management on the right
    and on the left it should say your iPod
    Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
    click on the change button
    Change it to something like N or M

    click ok
    then restart your computer

  • How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud?  In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id.  I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

    How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar?  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.   iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud.  I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync.  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.  My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

    To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID.  Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
    If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this.  Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.
