E71 Contacts trouble

Hi Guys,
I've run out of ideas on how to fix this and I'm hoping you guys can help.
I have iSync and it's been working fine with my Nokia E71. I've updated my contacts on my Mac and deleted all of my contacts on my phone so I could transfer them over onto a clean slate. However every time I sync it keeps wanting to delete all of the contacts on my Mac rather than dump them onto the E71.
The Sync profile I use states it'll transfer the information "both ways", I try to change that but it says the profile is read only. Ok...
I created a new profile and stipulated "to phone only". However when I sync it's still trying to delete all of the contacts off of my Mac. Ok...
I edited the new profile to "server only", nup, still trying to delete.
So now I'm in a situation where I have no contacts on my phone, all contacts on my Mac and no idea how to get them across.
Help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't know where you're seeing "Sync profiles" and the ability to create new ones with "server only", unless this in the phone menus, in which case it has nothing to do with syncing via iSync. Sync profiles in the phone are most likely for syncing over-the-air to online services, such as Google.
Anyway, to get iSync to overwrite the contents of the phone with what's currently in Address Book and iCal, simply click on your phone in the iSync window and choose "Reset Device..." from the "Devices" menu in iSync.

  • E71 Contact List - Name and Number view

    hi everyone,
    i am using the nokia E71 and have a question regarding the contact list. i have imported about 200 contacts to the Phone Memory (not the sim card).
    Now when i open the contact list, it displays all these contacts in the First Name Last Name format. And I have to actually enter the individual contact to be able to see what their default telephone number is.
    Is there any way to change the view in the contact list so it displays the Name and Number, without the need to go into the actual contact.... Or at least a keyboard shortcut like in older nokia's (the # key used to do it).
    Please ask me if I wasn't clear enough. Thanks.

    any idea's anyone?

  • IPhone 4S contacts troubles after sync hotmail

    Hi,
    After synchronizing my new iPhone 4S with my hotmail account, I have had nothing but trouble with both the contact list (address book) on my iPhone and with my hotmail contacts (in my hotmail account). Contacts keep randomly disappearing (entirely or partly - only telephone number or email) from my contact list in my iPhone and hotmail has frequently been asking me (when using it on my iMac) to re-enter information on email addresses that have been in my contact list in hotmail for a long time and that have magically disappeared now. This is highly frustrating, especially as this happens whenever, and is definitely not linked to me rebooting my phone or synchronising it with my Mac (I've checked repeatedly). Does anybody know how to stop this from happening? Thank you very much in advance!

    The contact entered on my Mac are not syncing to iCloud

  • Nokia E71 Contacts

    Nokia E71 has a feature where we can just type the name of the contact that we are searching for and it appears on the home screen without going to the contacts tab. It was working fine in my phone but doesnt seem to work any more. can anybody help.

    Please try that: "Tools", then "Settings", then "Phone" - First menu selection - "Call".
    Scroll down to the last selection. "Contact Search". Switch it to "On"
    This should works. Happened with my E71 and I was going berserk without it!
    Hope it helps!

  • E71 Contacts Management

    Hi folks,
    Just purchased an E71. Very surprised that I cannot browse my contacts by company name, or order them by company name. This is supposed to be a business tool, which means working with companies! I have over 4000 contacts to manage/view, all held in Outlook and sync through PC Suite.
    I must have missed a configuration option somewhere?
    Anyone out there know how this can be fixed.
    Cheers

    I had this problem with the Nokia E90 and found a fix on the discussion boards as reprinted below:
    "The contacts search in Nokia E90 is based on first and last name only.
    You may want to consider installing "Nokia search". It's an application that will search your phone contents, including your contacts.
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4568514"
    The fix works, the search is quick, and you can search ANY part of the contact card. However the programme runs separately on the phone and you have to access it first.I guess the fix will work with the E71 as it runs on Symbian 60 like the E90 does. Having said this, there are other contacts management problems with Series 60 phones which I have not found a fix for and which mean I am currently still using my old 9300 Communicator (Symbian 80) until Nokia solves the problems.

  • E71 Contact search problem

    My contact search function on E71 is ok, just that I can't call out 2 entries in contacts.
    1) 1Jen
    2) BJ
    As these 2 names's second character is "J" it is also "#" and the first character are also with numbers. That is why the home screen showed
    1) 1#
    2) 8#
    And it gave me the phone numbers which was the 1st and 8th stored on my SIM card contact.
    I used to be able to call them without such problem. Only experience this today.
    Does anyone know how to turn off SIM contact reading?
    Rgds,
    DB

    Firstly, open up each contact in turn and select Options>Play voice tag - this will tell you how the phone interprets the name. As you are using abbreviations, the voice recognition system may be interpreting the text strangely.
    It is also possible that the problemis caused by the shortness of the name. Often, it is better to have a full name (eg: Marcus de Bruyn) instead of a shorter form (eg: Marc) because when you say a name with more syllables you give the recognition system more data to work with in comparing with your contacts.

  • Is this a bug in the E71 contact manager?

    I had a contact that had a mobile number and a home phone number.
    I went to send a MMS message to the user and it prompted me to pick a number to use, so I picked the mobile, but the phone tried to send it to the land line number and of course the recipient never received it.
    I removed the land line number from the contact and then it worked, seems to be a bug to me but you never know.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Bought and installed this software, they took my money in minutes but can't answer an email in two days. Poor poor customer service

  • Printing contacts trouble and backup confirmation question

    I have two questions:  
    1) I am trying to print all of my Contacts.  I go to the page where I can see the long list of contacts, select “All,” click on the Actions dropdown menu and choose “Print,” and then I receive this message:  “Something happened while we were trying to print your request.  Please give it another try.”  I have been trying and retrying several times a day for more than a week.  What is wrong?
    2)  When I was using Backup Assistant, I received a “backup complete” message each morning. Now I am apparently using The Cloud, and I never see a “backup complete” message.  Is that the way it is supposed to operate?

        AliceinMD,
    We'll help with both of these! As Ann154 stated, you can export the contacts to a CSV file and then open them in a spreadsheet to print.
    The Cloud is a great improvement over the former Backup Assistant program. What device do you have? If you access the app, and then tap on the two arrows circling each other in the upper corner everything should back up for you. You will then get a notification when a backup needs to complete.

  • Synchronising E71 contacts with PCSuite

    I synchronise my contacts daily, without any difficulty.
    However I now have mnay hundreds of contacts in my PC and I do not want them all on my phone because it is such a fag to scroll through them to send sms or make calls.
    Can I select a sub-set of contacts to synchronise?

    There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
    After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
    After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

  • Syncing with contact - trouble since 9/25 update

    When I go to the system preferences and .mac I am unable to open the sync tab. This has been happening for a few months.
    Now, when I try to sync my iPhone (since the upgrade yesterday to itunes) I get a message saying that my sync is disabled. When I try to turn it on, it says that my computer can not sync. Then it goes ahead and syncs. However, my contacts are no longer syncing.
    Any thoughts? Thanks, Emily.

    I have the same problem. Cannot get anything to sinc since downloaded latest update. Serious need to get this working asap. Do you have any replies that have helped and that you can pass along?

  • Contacts Trouble.

    Hi, I have been using my iPhone 3g for a year now, and have a couple questions about Contacts and Calendars.
    Firstly I have had a serious issue with my address book and google contacts. I have set my address book to sync with google contacts. I have also set my phone to do so, but I have ended up with a different combination of information on each. On any given person I will have different information on each source and they never copy to one another. Is there a way to make all 3 agree? I would like to use my Macbook's Address Book as the master source and have the other prompt me to change it when I add data to one of them, Otherwise just copy changes I make on my computer.
    This has also lead to another problem, I have pictures for some contacts on my iphone, and all of them on my address book. However anytime I do not set my contact picture on the phone itself, the caller ID picture (when someone calls me) changes from a fullscreen image to a tiny useless thumbnail. Is there anyway to adjust it so pictures I set in my address book with be fullscreen on my caller ID screen?
    Lastly, I would like to know if there is a useful Calendar applications I can use that will pull events from both of Google Calender and Facebook Events. Publishing out to those both would be a plus, as would syncing to my iPhone.
    Thanks so much for any help... First time here and am nervous... I dont post on forums much so... Thanks agian.

    I can only answer your question about getting full screen pictures to appear with incoming calls on your iPhone. In short, no, you cannot enter the pictures in Address Book and have them appear full screen on your phone with incoming calls.
    I had the same question. I just got my Verizon iPhone, and I had spent the weekend programming all of my contacts into Address Book on my iMac. It took a long time because I was putting a picture with each contact. Imagine my glee when I discovered that the photos I put into contacts in Address Book only appear at about one square centimeter on my iPhone when there's an incoming call.
    For anyone else who comes across this, if you put photos in contacts in Address Book, they are all but worthless (if this isn't true, please someone tell me how they can be useful). They are not only too small to see on your iPhone, they are equally small on your Mac. So, no matter how you're using contacts, those photos are so small as to be useless. Thanks Apple!
    I spent quite a while on the phone with technical support today, and the only way to get the pictures entered with contacts to fill the full screen on your phone when there is a call is to enter the pictures into the contacts on your phone. So, if the pictures aren't already on your phone, you have to set iTunes to sync the pictures to your iPhone and then enter them into Contacts on the phone.
    I could go into more detail about this, but I really just want to make sure that anyone else who has this problem finds this answer.
    So, to sum it up:
    Apple has created a situation where Address Book on your Mac conveniently syncs with Contacts on your iPhone. Unfortunately, any photo you put into a contact in Address Book will not only be so tiny in Address Book as to be unusable, it will also appear just as small (about one square centimeter) on your iPhone when you have an incoming call from that contact.
    However, if you put the photo in the contact on your iPhone, it will appear full screen when you get an incoming call from that contact.
    Please, if you read this and consider this a problem, go to Apple's feedback page and request that they fix this.

  • Htc Droid dna Contact trouble

    Ok so my htc droid dan has some serious issues but last night the device completely reset everything. I lost all my contacts, and I'm not sure how to get them back when i go to backup assistant plus is doesn't work and i though i had them saved on my google account but clearly i didn't. i need to get them back anyway i can! please help.

        Koondog, I am so sorry to hear that your device has reset itself! That's so inconvenient to have to unexpectedly try to piece your information together again! To try Backup Assistant again, follow these instructions to clear the app. http://vz.to/1izKXrw
    My recommendation would be to clear the cache and clear data both on the Backup Assistant app, and also the app labeled Sync Service if available. Restart your phone, and try the backup again.
    Please let us know if this helped to retrieve your contacts!
    Thank you,

  • E71 - Contacts detail on call or sms arrival

    Hi, some of the contacts on my phone don't show a name when the contact calls even though the contact is stored on the phone. Is this a bug on the phone or is this a known issue?
    Thanks in advance!!

    If it is only some and not all, then it is not an issue with the phone but with your contacts. The most likely cause is duplicated numbers (you might have the same contact on both SIM and phone memory, or you might have the same number listed for more than one contact, for example).
