E61 - complete failure to sync contacts using PC S...

I just bought an E61. I have 1151 contacts in Outlook. I originally tried to use Exchange to sync contacts but after getting about 300 or so across, the process failed. So I figured, oh well, I'll try PC Sync and get my contacts in that way. Repeatedly I am getting the following log error: "PC Sync was unable to insert the following entry to the mobile phone". For EVERY SINGLE CONTACT. When I watch the phone during the sync process there is definitely a connection and it looks like the phone is receiving the contacts... I have checked the memory on the phone and there is certainly room to hold all of my contacts. I have Googled every permutation of 'Nokia E61 Symbian contacts not syncing' etc etc and found NO solutions anywhere. Maybe I am the only one in the world who has got this problem out of the box? I have tried 3 resets on the device to try and start from scratch. Nothing has worked. Please tell me there is a solution to my problem.

As promised, here's the definitive response from Vodafone - it does appear to be a ridiculous constraint imposed by Nokia.
Vodafone support stated; "...reason for this is that the Nokia handsets have shared mamory but also only limited memory allocated to each functionality (calendar/ contacts etc). To troubleshoot this simply select only one functionality to synchronise and try each one. When it fails on a specific one then they know which one is too big. They can then reduce the size of that particular database and it will work..."
In practice, this means that less that 3.9kB is allocated by Nokia to handling contacts. My phone only have a modest number of entries in each function and the total memory in use is ~6MB, leaving 59MB free but unusuable.
How crazy's that!!!!!!
Vodafone are investigating possible alternatives.

  • Failure to sync contacts and calendar from Outlook through BlackBerry Link after update

    Hi everyone,
    I have both z10 and z30. I have been syncronizing my Outlook contacts and calendars to both of them through Blackberry Link. My z10 automatically updated several days ago and I lost everythiing on the phone including contacts, calendar, texts, phots, etc. And then the same thing happend to my z30...
    Now I am trying to sync my Outlook contacts and calendars to them through Blackberry Link as I always did but it turned out unsuccessful. It stops at 'Getting status from Blackberry calendar' and it also pops out a message saying 'BLACKBERRY-7D1B Sync was unsuccessful. An error has occurred during an attempt to access to device data.'
    I already tried to reinstall Blackberry Link and reset my phones but neither of these worked out.
    Please help. Thank you!

    This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
    In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

  • Syncing Contacts using iCLoud

    Why is it that I can see all my contacts on my iPad2 but I can't see them on my iPhone 4Gs?  Both running iOS 5.01 and using iCloud to sync.

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Syncing contacts using itunes

    I have tried syncing my contacts and calendar with my Ipod using Itunes but eachtime my Itues freezes and I must force quit. I have followed intructions and tried reinstalling both the latest Ipod and Itunes software.
    Anyone else had this problem?
    Did you work it out?
    HELP

    Many ppl have experienced problems sync/adding contacts/calendar entries to their ipod... me included - I never solved the problem but I found a work around, I downloaded Outpod (http://www.tucows.com/preview/396266) and all my troubles were over. It's a little utility which imports your contact/cal entries to your ipod... works really well although I know you should be able to do it directly through itunes.

  • Syncing Contacts Using iCloud Question

    I have an iPhone 4 and the latest 32gb iPad running 6.0. I have had the phone for about 18 months and the iPad for about 3 months. Contact sync is turned ON on both devices but I am missing several contacts on the iPad that are on the phone. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

  • Unable to sync contact details iTunes Mavericks

    Unable to sync contact details, e-mailaccounts via iTunes to iPad on Mavericks.
    The button Info seem to be disappear.
    Why?
    Not every body love to sync via iCloud!
    To sync via iTunes is very very usable.
    On windows computer the button Info is stlll present.

    To be more clear, you cannot sync contacts using iTunes because Sync Services has been removed from Mavericks.
    So 10 point voor me myself.
    You can give yourself a Solved but you do not get points for your own replies.
    I knew that, I can read.
    [quote]OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods.

    I post my question on 18/11 and no answer.

    The ten points that is a joke.

  • Syncing Contacts from iPhone to PC

    Hi all
    I am rapidly losing my patience with this and can't understand what I'm doing wring so I'd be grateful of any help.
    I am trying to get my contacts off my Phone 3Gs and onto my PC ready for tranferiing onto my new HTC phone when it arrives.  BUT no matter what  try I can't get anything to work as it should.
    I've tried syncing contacts using iTunes -
    I tried syncing to my gmail account - but when I type in my Google ID and password it juts keeps opening up the same window again asking for ID and p/word again and again. 
    I tried syncing to windows contacts as we have Vista on the PC - it seems to be working but then theer is nothing in my windows contact folde on the PC when it's finished.
    I tried using the google sync thing by creating the exchange account on the iPhone - the only thing that has happened is that in my contacts of the iPhone I now have a duplicated contacts list in a seperate group called "From my PC"  Nothing has synced to my gmail contacts.
    At this point I should say that I rarely use my gmail acount and the contact list is emply on there so there are no contacts to sync back to my iPhone (if you know what I mean)
    I also then tried an app called Contacts Sync that is free from the App store.  I set it up and set it to synchronise.  It says it's done it but then shows no data has been transfered.
    It's almost like none of these methods are finding any conatcts on my phone.
    Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Many thanks

    You can also sync your contacts to Microsoft Address Book. Go to the info pane with your phone connected to change the settings.
    Your iphone backup also contains your contact info. So before you sync, back up your phone manually, here's how to:
    Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Do the same to transfer your purchases by choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Hi Barney,
    That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
    Hi Xeni,
    Thank you for your response, as well.

  • Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

    Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY).  The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it.  When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could  do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great).  However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure.  Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop 13.0.1 Update fixes this issue.  Excellent.

  • Itunes could not sync contacts to iphone because contacts are in use....

    Just bought phone today... Error states can't sync contacts because they are in use... How do you close the contacts setting on the iphone and then sync again?

    Am I'm the only one with this issue?
    As I investigate the crash logs it appears that the contacts db is corrupted and that is what is killing the phone, contacts, and mail etc settings.
    I have my contacts backed up several places so I'm not worried about losing them.
    Anyone know how to wipe or recreate the contacts db on the phone via an attached PC?

  • Syncing contacts and calendar with outlook and gmail - use Exchange or not?

    I need to sync my contacts and calendar between my iphone and Outlook and google on my laptop. Syncing via iTunes is fine as a backup but not as a constant process. I then saw that Gmail would permit an Exchange account to be used to allow immediate syncing so I installed an Exchange account on the iphone. It works but I now have doubled contacts. Is there a better way of doing this to avoid duplicate contacts? If I dedupe the contacts on the iphone do I risk then deleting contacts in Outlook on my PC? Alternatively if I delete the Exchange account on the iPhone is there a simple way of keeping calendars in sync on Iphone, Google and Outlook? (I just have two gmail accounts and do not have a Microsoft Exchange server)
    Grateful for any useful advice on this issue!

    FYI I eventually developed a work around that works better. I have a mac at home and a window pc at work. You can use plaxo to sync contacts between the two and the ipod syncs with the mac as advertised. Also as a bonus you don't have to deal with any issues, problems and pains with multiple itunes locations...
