E75 / Ovi and contact sync with Hotmail / other ac...

Please please help!
I'm needing to get the contacts from my E75 / Ovi back up to sync with a non-Outlook, Windows-based email account.....
Can ANYONE please help..?!?!?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm looking to back the contacts up into something like Hotmail. That is the account I currently use, but can register a new email account with a different host, if there is no possibility to back-up the E75 with Hotmail. I can't use Outlook though (don't have it).
I've tried using vCards, as the Ovi suite suggests, by starting a new email in Hotmail then copying details from Ovi into the email:
If I try this by drag and drop, it is entered as a .vcf as a link to a file on my C drive. When I open this, however, I can't do anything with the link.
If I choose the 'Windows Contacts' option on the Device Sync menu, and attach a contact as a separate file from my C drive,I have two problems.... While all the names appear, only 5% of the details associated show (even though they are stored in the same way on the phones memory). Even then, when I open the file on the email, I can't find a way to import it into Hotmail....

Outlook Calendar and Contact Sync with Nano

Just wondering if apple is working on a service pack for itunes 5.0 that will actually allow itunes to properly sync up with outlook calendar and contacts without getting that -50 error (or -20). forgot error code !!!

As others have said in your other posts, no one here knows or can say what Apple is working on.
If you haven't seen this KB article:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting iPod contact and calendar syncing
perhaps it will help.

Windows Live Calendar and Contacts sync with iPhone

I am looking at buying an iPhone. Is it possible to set the iPhone up to sync my Windows Live calendar, contacts and email over the phone network (ie without having to use iTunes), and can the calendar and contacts be edited using the iPhone and will this sync straight back to Windows?

If you are syncing Windows Live Calendar with your iPhone calendar app, then you have discovered something that neither Microsoft nor Apple have admitted can be done. There are a couple of published "workarounds" none of which are simple and which mostly just do not work.
Perhaps you could tell us what you are actually doing?

Calendar and Contact syncing with Outlook

I have I tunes 8.0.1.11 and Touch software 2.1. Up until one of the last updates (not sure which they come so quickly) my Touch with sync perfectly with Outlook. Lately it has not been syncing. I had a trial Mobile Me which I removed by uninstalling the program and the control panel but it still does not work properly. If I uncheck the sync boxes in the info tab and click apply and then recheck the boxes the entire calendar and contacts will sync, but that's pretty clumsy and takes too long. What can I do to get it working back to the old way? There must be a remnant of Mobile Me somewhere in my system.

I too have not been able to get Notes to sync with Outlook. I updated to v3.0 today, and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch to my PC, iTunes basically refused to sync Notes. It was odd: I would select the box for syncing Notes, and when I initiated a sync by clicking on Apply, the selection checkmark on Notes would uncheck during the sync. It did all the other syncs normally, to Outlook Calendar and Contacts, plus my music and apps. Plus, other aspects of functionality in v3.0 work quite well, e.g., copy and paste. In any case, I got no syncing of Notes in this new version. I created new notes in both platforms, plus activated OneNote on the PC, just in case. Nada. I also have not noticed any new "handheld synchronization" folder under Notes, either. I will try the reboot mentioned by Mac users that has been found to be necessary for the sync to work with Macs.

Why won't Calendar and Contacts sync with my iPod

Every time I try, my menu says no contacts available in this computer---despite having an address book full of them. Also my calender (iCal) no longer syncs with my iPod. Running 10.7.5 in my laptop and the latest (2.0.1) software in my 120 g

My apologies for the previous incorrect solutions! What I have finally done to alter the Contacts group in the iPod (in my case an iPod Nano 4th Generation) with iTunes 11.x is the following:
I connected the iPod as per usual and iTunes opens and the iPod shows up on the desktop. I then click on the iPod icon to open its folder which shows that there is a Contacts folder. Opening this I saw a Contacts file called 'iSync.vcf' which I moved to the Trash.
I then went to Contacts (the actual app) and exported those vcards I wanted to be on my iPod. Since I didn’t need every card on my nano I did each card individually; if you want all the cards then just select all the cards you want to export (or make a new special group for the iPod) or command-A a group and then export these vcards, either directly to the iPod Contacts folder, or to a folder on the desktop from which you can later move the vcards into the iPod folder (in case you want to add or subtract cards). note: if you have exported a group of cards from Contacts you cant remove cards from it later)!
To add vcards to the iPod from then on, just drag a new card, or an updated vcard, into the iPod Contacts folder - conversely to remove a contact, drag the card out of the folder.
Hopefully this solves the problem. I’ve checked it out several times today with my iPod and it seems to work well.

Nokia X2: Calendar and contacts sync with outlook....

hey there
i have a nokia x2 and i got myself a new outlook.com account just in order to finally have my emails, my contacts and my calendar synch using the outlook.com app.
1 email synchronisation works fine
2 contacts sync seem not to be possible.
- contacts can be edited only on outlook.com, but not via app. could you confirm this? I wonder why and if an update will solve this issue. what am i supposed to do in order to synch my contacts if i add a new contact or email or whatever on my nokia x2? add it manually to the outlook.com adress buch? this is not feasable!
- besides the birthday is not displayed on nokia x2 alltough being present on the database of nokia x2 (i can export it with the contact using the export function)
3 calendar synch works only from outlook.com to nokia x2. if i add a new event on nokia x2, this one event doesn't get sync on outlook.com. any idea what goes wrong or what i am supposed to do to fix this?
nokia/microsoft colleagues please help, i am using only your stuff, it cannot be that it does't work even when using ONLY microsoft programs
thx

Little update
2 calendar --> there is a workaround that makes calendar synch working (using exchange account and also outlook.com app). if you turn off the local calendar and if you edit directly the exchange calendar, it works (create, edit and delete). synch between local und exchange calendar doesn't work, no way.
2 contacts: no workaround
- using outlook.com app you can't edit contacts and birthdays don't get displayed
- using exchange server you can edit the contacts locally bur all changes doesn't get synchronised with outlook.com. birthdays are displayed.
- new problem: contact groups don't get synchronised in any direction!!
microsoft / nokia people kindly help..

Has anyone got the calendar and contact sync with MS Outlook to work?

Office Version:Office 2007Operating System:Windows 7
I've used Outlook for several years. I use the Outlook Connector to link to my hotmail account for mail and Outlook's functionality for contact and calendaring.
Recently my appointments seem to have taken on a life of their own. After entering them they look fine but at some point the appointment title is being changed to "Private Event". I can open the appointment and it looks ok. In fact, the little lock icon for making the appointment private is not enabled so I can find no visable reason for the appointment to be marked private.
I am the only user and I have administrator rights. Also, none of my much older appointments are being changed, most of them being reoccurring appointments that haven't been opened in some time.
It looks like what you might expect if you were a delegate on an Exchange calendar. But in this case my Outlook is just a local, standalone installation with no Exchange server.
I can't be absolutely certain but I think the timing of when this started was a couple of weeks ago when I attempted to set up sync between my iPod Touch and Outlook. I never opened Outlook [that I know of] during the process. I just set the sync options in iTunes to Outlook. Nothing ever got copied over to the iPod but I think that the privacy issue began about the same time.
Any idea what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes thats correct & it should showup if already checked.
When I checked the https://p15-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/FR_fr.ics
also https://p15-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/UK_uk.ics ofcourse it could be any page from
p 0- to p 20- but nothing happens from the UK one but the FR it auto downloads does not instal into
Calendar it will ask you for permision first.
I have many calendars too Europe, Asia etc:
This is what info of active Holiday Cal looks like.

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

IMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Cald

Will Apple's iMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Calendar like the Ipad Mail App Does? I really would like to start uing the iMac Mail App. By the way I'm a first time Mac user.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

IMac and iPad sync with cloud no problems, iTouch with OSi4.2.1 is now wiped out, how do I sync contacts and mail?

I am not a happy mac user at the moment. I have a new ipad OSi 5.0 works fine with my two Lion systems. I have an iPod touch with OSi 4.2.1 I was trying to sync my calender, mail and contacts. It did the mail and calender but it wiped out my contacts. I not only want them back, I want them synced with the other systems. I should not have to buy a new touch to get this to work!
I would be happy to upgrade the OSi if it was an option!

You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

HT204150 Contact(s) on my iMac NOT syncing with my other IOS devices.

I can create/modify/delete a contact via iCloud using Safari on my iMac and/or my iPad and/or my iPhone and all sync fine with each other - including the new Contact showing up in my "Contacts" on my iMac.
BUT when I create a new Contact on my iMac it does NOT sync with my other devices.
My iMac is running the latest version of Mountain Lion (10.8.5), my default account on my iMac is iCloud (and also default on my IOS devices).
Also I cannot delete a contact in my Contact list on my iMac.
I have tried logging out of iCloud Contacts and logging back in, restarting my iMac etc. nothing I tried fixes my issue!
HELP!
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Make sure you are changing contacts in the iCloud account and not On My Mac or someting else, as it is the only accoun that will sync with iCloud. If you are and you haven't tried, add any missing contacts from your Mac to your contacts on icloud.com, then sign out of your account, then sign back in. Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in icloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

I have a lot of old contacts I want to delete that are on all my devices. If I delete them on my iPad and then sync with my mac, will this delete the contacts on my mac too?

Yes.
If you don't want that to happen, then don't select the "Sync Contacts" option on your next sync.
