E72, MfE, Error syncing contact

Hello all,
I recently got an E72 instead of an E71. With my E72 I now have problems syncing my contact to the exchange server. Intial sync works fine. Resyncs won't work. I tried to empty my contacts on the exchange server. Do a intial resync. All contacts gone on E72. Create one contact. No sync anymore. In the admin_log I find an error "status from server indicates a server error" and an error code "Mail For Exchange Error -15006".
Anyone else experiencing the same error? Any solutions?
Thanks,
Arjen

This is another one of these very arrogant nokia answers to remarks on their faulty hard- en software.
75% of the businesses use exchange 2003 and will continue to do so for years to come.
Meanwhile I have a sh*tload of E72's that are being rounded up and thrown away because they DON'T WORK... and NOKIA just says... EXCHANGE 2003 is too old... my god...
As a lot of other companies are doing because of this **bleep** support, we are replacing all nokia with HTC... no problems there and a support centre that actually supports their customers.
Don't know what got into Nokia these past couple of years, but we are signing off and never coming back.

N86 - MFE cannot sync contacts, no option to do so...

Hi
Im setting up MFE on a Nokia N86, and its not troubleless to say the least. At first i could'nt get the option to use MFE when trying to setup e-mail on the phone. I solved this by setting the phone to offline mode and then setting up MFE by using the e-mail setup option.
But in the menu where I'm supposed to choose what to sync, the only option is e-mail. I got the calendar syncing by choosing the default mailbox as MFE under the calendar settings. So now the last thing i need is contacts.
The phone is syncing with a Exchange 2007 server, and it works perfectly on our other phones, E71, E90, HTC and so on... But not on the N86... I have 5 of theese and all of them have the same issue...
Hope somebody can help, otherwise I really considering returning the phones and buying HTC's instead...
Thanks in advance! :-)

Hi,
Try this...
In Applications\Email\Settings open Personal Inform Manager and you will find the optiosn to sync contacts.
Hope this helps.

Nokia e72, gmail setup + syncing contacts and cale...

My objective was to
1) get my contacts into the phone from this account, as I had on my old windows mobile device
2) set up my gmail account on my new nokia e72
1) getting contacts from gmail into the phone.
Go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
and carefully do whatever is instructed.
*This works for calendar also (I assume you will want your google calendar to come into the phone, and sync thereafter. But all-day entries on google become 24 hour entries, modified by your timezone (eg xyz birthday, 15 mar 2010 5.00 am to 16 mar 2010 5.00 am). Otherwise the calendars seem to sync ok therafter (didn't spend much time there).
*This does not work for tasks. (read the google sync instructions carefully for nokia. but not for tasks, or for email bodies (though email headers sync, and you can probably create and send, and delete etc your email on the phone)
*This does not work email either, ie you can see the message headers, but can't see the bodies of emails on the phone.
The explanation for this I found after much digging is that Mail for Exchange on Nokia is actually meant for Microsoft ActiveSync servers, and Google is providing limited sync facilities using this ....system. (correct me if I'm wrong). See the datasheets on Nokia Europe websites about Mail for Exchange.
Over all, a pity, but you can't blame Nokia. As for Google (in whose hands further improvement lies for MFE playing nice with google mail), I hope, and believe they will make things better here (unless they lose their interest in it like they did with google gears).
2)Now getting your email from gmail into your nokia E72: Here Nokia is at fault, and a serious deficiency. I went to email setup in the menu's and started the wizard to create a new account. It seemed to have preconfigured setups for common email providers like gmail, yahoo etc. I started the gmail set up wizard, keyed in my username and password, then waited 5 seconds, and the screen went back to the previous one. This kept repeating, every time I tried. Tried everything: checked internet connectivity (wifi), closed all other apps including the MFE I had set up earlier, switched off and on the phone, everything short of standing on my head. So what works? How do you set up a personal gmail account on your nokia e72? go here:
http://www.techniqx.com/2010/02/workaround-for-configuring-gmail.html
(I paste that text here in case that page is removed:
"The email software in Nokia E72 still has lots of bugs. To configure your Gmail account, it’s not as easy as selecting Gmail and entering the credentials. That simply won’t work as there is a bug. Instead, workaround is to select “Other” and enter a false id like [email protected], this will take you to the next page to select the type. Select “POP/IMAP”. Now, you will get an option to enter your credentials and modify advanced settings. Here change your email id back to [email protected] and enter the credentials as mentioned here> (the gmail site for imap manual setup):
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
And you have gmail set up. Quite inelegant process of setting up gmail on this nokia phone, I would say.
Nokia, please iron out the bugs and inconsistencies in your flagship models' primary functions. Otherwise the phone functions very well, the interface is nice and attractive. And while the bugs are still there, please put up the limitations and the workarounds if any prominently. Nobody expects 100 % perfection.

I had a number of problems setting up Google Apps with my E72 phone. Mail, Calendar and Tasks were not syncing.
Mail
I have spent far too long setting up google apps to sync properly with my new E72 (latest software installed). It really is a superb phone but if Nokia is not going to fully support integration with Google Apps with a simple app then Android and Blackberry will simply take over for Apps users. It really isn't up to Google to solve this its up to Nokia. Are we going to move from Google Apps or change our phones????
I have gmail and business google apps accounts and both are now syncing properly with what seems to be pretty good Nokia email software on the phone. This is allowing me to receive, send, view attachments, view sent mail etc. Here are the steps I took from the beginning. Its a repeat of some of the good advice above which helped me on my long journey!
1. Enable IMAP for the google accounts. Couldn't get anything to work otherwise.
2. Follow this instruction https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887
3. The inbox should now be working however you now need to map the other folders you want to see on your mobile. While at your inbox go to >settings>mailbox settings>what to sync>folder subscriptions.
4. Click on Gmail and highlight the folders you want to see
5. Go back to your inbox and go to the dragdown list of folders and highlight 'More Folders'. Under 'Gmail' you will find your sent items along with attachments etc. Problem solved. Its not a pretty solution but at this stage like me you just want something that works.
Calendar
This was a nightmare and I am now running a third party app called Googasync which is working fine. In 10 days time I will need to buy this so if someone knows how to setup calendar syncing properly without it please let me know.
Tasks
Googasync will not sync Tasks and I don't know if there is any app out there that will. If someone can help please let me know. Surely this should be pretty simple!?!?!
By the way I mailed Nokia support last Thursday on the above but have not received a reply other than to tell me that Google Apps is 3rd party software and not supported. Nokia needs to wise up.
In summary its a great phone and I've moved from a Blackerry Bold to it but I shouldn't be spending days finding workarounds!!

E72 - does not sync contacts cretaed on phone to s...

When I initialised my E72 for syncing with outlook, I included the syncing of contacts. All my Outlook contacts synced to the phone but I am having trouble making new contacts created on the phone sync back to my outlook the other way.
I never had this trouble with my N97. I have tried the syncronisation setting on the contacts in question as both private and public both nothing gets them across to my Outlook server. Please help!
(BTW The E72 completely dominates the N97. The E72 is the total package, I love this phone. N97 - the flip out just doesn't work, the software is clunky, its terrible for email. The screen was only plus. My N97 will sit in a drawer now. An expensive mistake but having a good phone makes life so much more fun!)

yep - me too...I actually get it happening the other way around too...so ones created on the phone don't turn up on the server
...used to work on a newer exchange server with the e71
is there a awy to get a nokia dude to look at this issue...or do we just all them up one by one

Error Syncing Contacts - 8330 and Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager

IPod error message when trying to sync contacts

Hey all,
When I try syncing my iPod Touch, it comes up with the error message: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected." When I turn off contact syncing, the sync works just fine, but then all of my contacts remain out-of-date. Has anybody else encountered/solved this problem?

Yes, I had the exact same problem. I called technical support and they could not help me. But I solved it independently, while on the phone with support .... they didn't know why this worked - go figure!
sorry - I'm not on that computer at the moment, so I don't have the exact lingo but here goes:
I have multiple categories in my address book. For some reason when I specified to sync only those that were checked (as opposed to the whole group) I checked each and every category in my address book. This sync worked like a charm.
Good luck! (I am having endless problems syncing iCal, which still have me stumped)

Sync Error Message: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone...."

This just started today:
"iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "My Phone" because an error occured while merging data"
Info:
I'm running iTunes 9 and 4.0.1 on my iPhone which is a 3GS. They sync with Google Contacts. I did just install a group contact app called ABCLite (fyi, have no idea if this is related).
I use my contacts a LOT on both the phone and the computer so I really need them to sync! Help!!!
Jenn

Hi,
same here - or similar: Installed latest iOS4 and only group in my contacts comes up.
Data do not seem to be lost (phew:-) because when I ring a number, the phone still displays who it is, so the data are there somewhere.
Any help much appreciated.

Message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data"

Hello all. I recently replaced the HD in my MacBook Pro. Just after, I retrieved my old files from the Time Machine backup, which I made just before the replacement. During the first sync of my iPhone via iTunes and while I was trying to sync my contacts I saw the message "iTunes could not sync contacts to iPhone because an error occurred while committing data". After that, I lost my iPhone contacts (I have them only from iCloud). The only problem is contacts, all the others (Calendars, Apps) are normally syncing. Does anybody has a solution? Thanks in advance!

hello,
There was a similiar posting that I have seen from others and they found out that the back up was bad. https://discussions.apple.com/message/6139533#6139533
I would use a previous backup (earlier one) to the one you have tried to just do.

ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred

When I connect my iPhone to my iMac (OSX version 10.6.6), and open iTunes and select "sync" - everything syncs (my Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, books, Photos and Calendars). However, I get an error message popping up saying: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".
I have unchecked the contacts button in iTunes and then sync works fine.
I have deleted all my contact in my Address Book on my iMac and tried to sync. Again, same error message as above.
I have not tried to restore the iPhone as I am worried to loose my contacts saved on my iPhone.
Who know how to solve this problem? Thanks

Hi Charlotte
I had the same problem for one year now and it affected my contacts, then later my calendar.
I followed the Apple troubleshooting guides and finally managed to make it work again.
First try the following guide:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Window
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
For me I noticed that after I updated ITunes to latest version (using the full uninstall from the last point of the guide above, section "Reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes"), I could sync with another Windows user account (on another computer actually)
Since I wanted my own account to sync again, I then used the advanced troubleshooting guide:
Advanced troubleshooting for Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
In my case the point 4 in this guide helped, but since I had no MobileMe, I just killed the OS process SyncServer.exe, then renamed the SyncServices folder to SyncServices.old and restarted the PC.
You should try all the steps in both guides in the order mentioned, to see which one can help, I don't advise you to start directly with a step in a guide
Good luck

Link 1.1.1: Error syncing Outlook contacts with Q10

I configure the Contacts and Calendar settings for my Outlook account in Link (actually leave them at default)
If I choose to synchronize contacts only, e. g. if I check the checkbox at Contact and clear that one at Calendar, all goes well
If I choose to sync Calendar or both, I get the following error:
CPreferenceManager: Configuration Value for /Preferences/Account_9_589826/DevicePin not set in TransConfig.xml for translator RimBB
I looked into that file and found nothing like DevicePin in it at all...
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks, MaKo

Mako, what I've learned is that Link doesn't like changes to the sync config after the fact. To get things to work properly I did a Reset Settings, then configured both Contacts and Calendar. Then Sync Contacts/Calendar worked. Don't make any changes to the check boxes or Configure links after doing a sync.

I can't sync "Contacts" because of an error

I've got a systematic error. Contacts don't sync. I've got an alert triangle in front of iCloud group with this error :
"[NSInvalidArgumentException] *** -[__NSSetM addObject:]: object cannot be nil"
I cannot search in "all"
Other users have this with Mail or Contacts
See : mail preview windown blank
(I can't insert the save screen here because of a bug (insert image button inactive after the file be chosen.)

I think I found the root cause. I couldn't get my contacts to sync because of the same "object cannot be nil".
I had Contacts open when I turned off the iCloud Contacts in Preferences. I said don't keep a copy on my Mac. When I did that, I found a couple of groups wiht no name (the group names were just blank). I gave them names (nil and non-nil!) and then was able to delete the groups from my Mac's contacts. Then I re-checked Contacts syncing, and it worked much better!
I think that the object that couldn't be nil was the group name, which prevented iCloud syncing. That makes sense.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I don't find a specific KB that is exactly on point to your description...perhaps you will have better luck searching:
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
Otherwise, I'd suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!
