E51 Selective Outlook Sync?

Is there any way to partially sync my E51 with Outlook?
All I really want to do is get my contacts into a spreadsheet but that has to go via Outlook since Nokia missed this basic functionality off the PC contact software.
And the trouble with an outlook sync is, if its both ways, I get all my outlook contacts on the phone, which I definitely dont want, or if phone to PC, I end up with my phone contacts 'lost' in my outlook address book. Again, I dont really even want to use Outlook but I would if this helped me get these users into a spreadsheet.
Or should I be using a contact manager app and if so which one?

I 'fixed' this by buying 'Mobile Master' which has a whole lot of functionality including spreadsheet export/import, and Palm Pilot sync as well (though I dont think selective is available with that either). But its still a million times better than the Nokia excuse for a contact app and is letting me clean my data up prior to my next phone which definitely will not be a Nokia.

Cannot select Outlook 2003 to sync calendar, tasks etc. ver 6.0

I have desktop software 6.0 install on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. I installed ver 6.0 desktop manager, connected my Curve 8530, it recognized it and synced my media.
I have office 2003 and outlook installed, and it is running fine.
When I try to select organizer data to syncronize, and configure settings, I select calendar, proceed through the wizard selecting outlook, but when I finish the checkmark next to calendar disappears. Everytime I try to set the checkmark it takes me through the wizard and again removes the checkmark when done.
If I select yahoo, the wizard runs, and the checkmark stays.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Hello,
I would recommend giving this a try, BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 displays calendar as not installed within Organizer.

Outlook Sync Error SOLVED - Multi-day repeating appointment cannot be converted for use on the Handheld...

*UPDATE 1/23/2009 07:08 AM* This is a partial fix. I no longer think the Recurrence Range is the culprit. It seems the Time Zones features between Outlook & Palm are not cooperating. This explains why my 12 am events are syncing as 6 pm the day before; I live in GMT-6:00 so it's moving my events ahead by 6 hours. Another event I set for 1 pm in Outlook was changed to 7 am on my Treo. I am going to start over and recreate each event, this time setting the Time Zones, which I hadn't done before. I tested it out and it worked with a single event... let's see how long it lasts. I've also found that using 'No Time' on my Treo is not compatible with Outlook. It's better to set a time with 0 minutes duration.
*UPDATE 1/23/2009 04:11 AM* This is a partial fix. My monthly and yearly problematic recurring events are now showing up at 6 pm the day before on my Treo, though my Outlook calendar is fine. I think this has to do with the Recurrence Range Start/End in Outlook, which is set automatically. If only there were a way to change this...
After a WHOLE LOTTA trial-and-error (like 3 days worth), I think I finally solved my OLERR:14-001 issue!
Problem: Syncing Palm Treo 755p calendar with Outlook 2007
Error Message (simplified):
HotSync session completed with messages on [date] [time]
HotSync session started on [date] [time], and completed in [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar synchronization completed with messages
Duration: [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar
The multi-day repeating appointment titled [event] beginning [date] [time] cannot be converted for use on the Handheld. Please divide the appointment up into single-days and re-synchronize.
OLERR:14-0001
- Desktop overwrite HH Sync
Note: You will likely have several of these ‘Multi-day’ instances in your hotsync log (I had 58). You may want to change Calendar in hotsync to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" after you get this error, to avoid erasing events while you are fixing this issue. Otherwise, you may have to restore them from a backup copy (if you have one) and start over. You can switch back once you’re through.
Solution: First, I tried this Palm KB Article: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167. After this didn’t work for me… I did trial-and-error. I believe the problem is that each recurring event, which you set up as ‘All-day’, must be changed to have a duration of 0 minutes from within Outlook. I was able to change some events directly, but I found that some of the records had corrupted, and would just revert. My fool-proof solution was to recreate EVERY problematic event (yes, one-by-one) using the following steps:
Open Outlook
Go to your default calendar, where your events are synced
In the top menu choose ‘View’ > ‘Current View’ > ‘Recurring Appointments’
Open a ‘New Appointment’
Enter subject and other options, such as Categorize, Importance, Time Zones, or Reminder
Make sure starting and ending date & time are the EXACT same
Select ‘Recurrence’ & choose your pattern
I did not choose ‘No end date’ (hence the Palm article), but rather ‘End by:’ and typed in 2031, then pressed tab to auto-generate a suitable end date. I chose 2031 because that is last year my Treo’s calendar goes to. Click OK
Repeat for every event in your error log, until you get a clean "Desktop overwrites Handheld" hotsync (Outlook should be closed when you sync)
Switch Calendar in hotsync back to "Synchronize"
Even though I still get the message OLERR14:001, my syncs are successful. Now I will give my Treo time to see if the issue returns later. Until then, happy Outlook syncing and good luck!

Outlook sync issue--error ModName: applesyncmapiinterface.dll

just in the past week, I have been getting this error message (applesyncmapiinterface.dll) when syncing my iphone to my XP Pro PC. I just upgraded the new OS4 in I-tunes, and my sync still provides this error message. Any solutions?

The reason why the sync client error appears is because itunes will not sync a bad file from outlook (either a contact or a calendar entry) and so gives up on the operaton.
There is hope however! The only real way of getting this to work is to locate and delete/ replace the bad data.
There is no really easy way of scanning outlook for the bad data so this is the method that I use:
1. first try and sync phone/ipod with itunes - watch the top bar in itunes and see whether the "outlook sync client not working" appears during the attempt to sync contact or calendar - then you know whether the bad data is in your contacts folder or your calendar.
2. make a backup of yur contacts or calendar - file/ export to pst.
3. go to tools/find/advaced find and put nothing in the search box but press enter. The resultant search will be all of your contacts/ calendar entries.
4. now the clever bit: select all and delete - this will delete all of your entires (remember you have made a backup) but any corrupt files will not be deleted in this operation: thus you have identified the bad files (make a note of this file)
5 import your contacts/ calendar back from your backup - file/import pst.
6. Now simply copy down (with a pen and paper!) the information contained in the bad file - they normally read okay, delete the file and re-enter manualy.
6. hey presto.

Outlook sync never starts

Transferring from Curve to Q10, the transfer worked, backups of Q10 work on BlackBerry Link, but Outlook sync never actually start. The progress bar scrolls the "barber pole" pattern but the actual progress never starts. Tried connected with USB cable, and it continues over Wi-Fi (or so it seems) but never actually does sync anything. No error messages.

Hello Alain_L and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with the sync in BlackBerry Link.
What version of Microsoft Outlook are you using?
Were you able to configure your sync settings to ensure your active Outlook profile is selected?
Is the sync set for a two way sync or are you doing a one way sync from Outlook to your device?

Selective Calendar Sync

I've got 3 Macs (1 at work). 2 iPhones (1 is my wife's), and 1 MobileMe account. I'm successfully synching like crazy and am very happy. My wife is not, however. We don't have Exchange support for iPhone at work, but I am syncing my Exchange calendar using Entourage, synching that with iCal and synching that with everything else - including my wife's iPhone. She is getting upset at getting notifications for my business meetings and events. She wants me to make it stop. How can I selectively NOT sync the Entourage calendar on my wife's iPhone, yet continue to do so on my iPhone?
Brian

I was a bit confused when you wrote "as advertised", because now Apple advertises using direct Exchange sync (bypassing the Outlook client). From your 2nd paragraph, though, I see that you had been doing just what I described.
Did you ever run into trouble with meeting appointments? That is, if you edited one on the iPhone, did the attendee list or other critical attributes (exceptions in a recurring meeting) get damaged? Did you get many spurious duplicates?
The interesting part now is that in iTunes 7.7 PC, when my iPhone is attached, there's an option in the iPhone preferences to sync the Outlook calendar to a specific iPhone calendar.
This suggests the possibility of retaining the home data even as a sync at work.
Do you think that's a new feature in iTunes 7.7?
Thanks!
Update: after my original posting I came across this Discussion Thread:

At this time selective sync with an Outlook 2003 calendar may be broken.

I've selected phone as contact memory
There a lot of superficial info from Outlook contacts synced
Is it possible to reduce the number of fields downloaded for each contact ?
Cheers

Here's an alternative way to get Contacts on your iPod of the auto sync doesn't work. It doesn't work for me either in 6.0.4.2, but it did in 6.0.1.3
1. Create a New Folder on your Desktop
2. In Outlook Contacts use Ctrl+A to "Select All".
3. On the "Action" menu select "Forward as vCard".
(A new e-mail will open with all of the Contacts as .vcf attachments.)
4. Select all the attachments and drag them to the New Folder you created in step-one.
5. Drag and Drop them from the New Folder into the Contacts directory on your iPod using Windows Explorer.

Outlook Sync - Multiple Calendar Problem

(I am not sure whether this belongs in this Forum or would be more appropriately directed to my Device (Curve 8900) forum or Desktop Software. Please advise or re-direct if that is the case.)
I am having a sync issue with Outlook, and it revolves around the issue of having multiple calendars on the Device, each of which is associated with an e-mail address. I understand this has been a relatively common question; however, although I admittedly may be looking in the wrong place, I have yet to come across a comprehensive solution.
I understand how to switch the "default" e-mail associated with scheduling items on the calendar, and I believe I'm correct in thinking that this is what syncs with Outlook. I've noticed that when I try switching the default, Outlook wants to delete all other appointments which are NOT associated with that device calendar.
So I guess my specific questions are:
1) Is there a way to have Outlook sync with ALL calendars on the device, i.e. not just the default? It's easy enough to make all appointments from here on out with a single account & have that be the one that syncs; however, it doesn't seem possible to do that without having Outlook want to delete all other appointments.
2) Is there a way to change the associated email/calendar for events on the Device? When I open an event, I can see which email/calendar it is but I don't know how to *change* it -- I only seem to have a choice when scheduling new events.
If either of these was an option, I think that would solve my problem -- I could either go through the device & convert everything to the default email/calendar & everything would be there upon sync, OR Outlook would just pick up everything from all calendars when I sync.
I don't understand why it's so complicated to have everything in one place!
Thanks in advance to those willing to share their wisdom & advice in this matter.
mbw

I was going to post that article but you beat me to it.
I believe this is the only way to accomplish this on a BlackBerry

Songs cannot be synced: playlists selected for syncing no longer exist

"Songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
I finally filled all of the memory in my nano for the first time, and I got a popup to put all of my playlists in one file so it wouldn't take up as much space. When I saw it, I deleted it, I wasn't aware of what was going on. I tried to fix it by changing the settings to manually sync music but that didn't work. Then I restored my ipod and now it doesn't have any songs on it. So I tried to uninstall everything, itunes and ipod to restore the settings back to normal but that didn't work either. Everytime I connect my nano, all it says it can't sync because the playlists don't exist anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. Can someone help me?

But then it says it can't read or write to my nano.
is that the message discussed in the following document?

Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
dell inspiron Windows XP

Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

E-mail (Outlook) syncs to iMac and iPad, but not to iPhone. How can I get it to sync to all three devices?

My e-mail (Outlook) syncs to my iMac and my iPad. However, I can read e-mails on my new iPhone, respond to them, and even erase them, but when I go to my computer or iPad afterwards, they still appear unopened and I have to open each one and close it again so it doesn't show up as an unread e-mail. This does not happen with the iMac and iPad; deleting it on one of those deletes it on the other as well. What am I doing wrong?

I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the Using iPhone Forum. You should get helped there.

Problem Syncing Outlook....says outlook sync client encountered problem

I have been syncing outlook calendar and contacts from my PC to my iPhone with no problems. I have version 1.1.2 on my iPhone and 7.5 or whatever the latest is on iTunes software. The syncs were fine until recently and now I cant sync and get an error message that says "outlook sync client encountered problem" What could possibly have happened....I read some posts that say to go back to iTunes 7.3 etc....this has to be a common problem....any suggestions.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

I don't get "Manage my Account" when I select the Sync tab, but if I try to create a new account it says my userid is already in use. How can I get my password & sync key?

My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
My Firefox version is 4.0.1.
When I try to setup Firefox Sync, I get a choice of "Create a new account" or "Connect".
The first tells me my email address is already in use, but selecting the Sync tab does not give me "Manage my Account."
How can I find out my password and sync key?

Hi Russ!
Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].
