Editting contacts with pc suite

i have backed up my 6233 with pc suite and i seem to be able to do most things. But i can't seem to access my contacts on the pc to edit them - have i done something wrong or missed something?
All my contact are on outlook and i can synchronise them on my phone with outlook but i don't seem to be able to open them with the contacts browser in pc suite to edit what i have on my phone via my computer eg everytime i go into contacts on pc suite there aren't any there. what am i doing wrong???

Use the forum search with words : hidden folders contacts
and view the liks that you get through that. Maybe your problem is that the cntacts are hidden in your PC and thus not visible, but PC Suite thinks they are there and only syncs up the new data to PC.

[BUG] Editing contacts with italian language set

This behaviors happens only when WebOS is set to Italian language:
1) when editing an existing contact, it shows up as a blank one, as if I was creating a new contact from scratch. Actually, the contact data is there, but somehow hidden! When changing it (so, actually, writing back from scratch), it does change, but can't see the original contents.
2) When creating a new contact, I can't add a phone number, while I can add other items (email, address, URL, etc). Saving it and then editing it, goes back to point 1. Thus, the only way to save a phone number is dialing it, then saving it from the Phone app.
I have an European GSM Pre, WebOS 1.4.1

First, when you do create a new contact (in Italian), what happens when you try to type in the Phone Number field? Does the cursor appear, or is the field grayed out? Does nothing happen when you tap on the "+ New Phone Number ..." field?
As long as I tap it, the field become dark grey, as it was somehow activated, but when I release my finger it comes back to normal and I can't type in it (no cursor).
Besides that, I can add a new contact. Other fields are working fine, but in the Email address and IM address field, the cursor doesn't appear on the very left (beginning) of the field. It stays almost in the middle, as it's keeping room for a button, and actually if I click on the left, it pops up something like an empty list or menu. Besides this glitch, I can edit those fields.
By the way, the phone number field is the only one that is 2 lines long (in italian). I don't know if this means something, but maybe this screws the interface up.....
Second, what happens if you change your language selection from Italian to English, then try to edit an existing contact? Are you able to see existing text then?
Yes; it works perfectly.
Also, try creating a new contact with your language selection set to English. Are you able to enter a phone number at that point? How about editing a contact created with language set to English while still set to English. Can you see existing data within the contact editing screen?
Yes, everything works fine, as long as english (US) language is set.
Next, switch back to Italian and view the contact created under English. Can you edit existing information without it blanking out?
I can't see the existing information; I can't edit any phone number obviously, because the field can't be activated. If I try to overwrite data by writing on those field that I know they contain data, it doesn't work: name of the contact doesn't change, and editing the email address (ie. writing it back from scratch) adds another address.
Hope this helps,
Stefano

Can't sync contacts with OVI Suite

I am using Nokia 5800 firmare 50, Nokia Ovi Sute 2.2.0.245 and MS Outlook 2003

during this time i can't use my computer because it's too slow
after 5-10 minutes Ovi Suite is crashing with error (screenshot in attachment)

@amartyno,
Could you please try the following steps, hopefully that helps:
In fact the problem seems to be a windows 7 registry problem. In the end I found the solution here (on a post related to itunes - but if anyone interested follows the thread they'll see that moving to the latest version of itunes presents exactly the same hang as trying to intall OVI - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/f4dd5033-9bcb-4788-b100-5e98bd80f...)
If you can't be bothered to follow the link/read the entire post - what you have to do is:
1) Open regedit and replace the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Key: RegistrySizeLimit
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)
2) Reboot

N97: Can't sync contacts with Ovi Suite

Everytime my N97 is connected to my PC via Bluetooth or USB, everything is syncing fine, except for the contacts.
I already updated to the most recent Ovi Suite version, but it's still not working.
When trying a manual sync, by clicking on "sync contacts" on the ovi suite, I am getting an error message:
Sync cancelled
Could not continue syncing
Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Thumbnails lost contact with originals in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2.) – can't view fullscreen or edit!

Over the past days my headache over the iPhoto '09 library has gone from bad to worse.
Starting with a few albums and events from last year, iPhoto has stopped displaying some photos (mainly landscape-oriented photos, upright photos seem to be working fine most of them) in fullscreen, edit mode and slideshows.
Browsing through the apple community I've realized that this issue may be due to thumbnails losing contact with original photos. Indeed, I can't seem to export photos to desktop or any other location. "Show original file" or "show file" only opens an empty Finder window, doesn't connect with the Picture folder or anything.
I've also tried entering the Library manually from another working photo, and can't seem to locate a number of pics. It seems the originals are simply lost.
Some of the missing pictures are irreplacable (like my son's birth!).
I'd be INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for any advice on how to save these photos.
Cheers/ AB

The simple and surefire solution is to restore from back up.
If files are missing then that's the only solution.
To rebuild the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed. I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications. After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
What is causing the problem I am having? How do I get this corrected?

I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software. Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK. Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding". I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

Empty contacts with the new version of pc suite

Hi,
I have a nokia 6111 connected to my pc with a usb cable.
When I go to my contacts with the nokia phone browser, the list is empty.
It works well with my old version of pc suite 6.82 but since I'm upgraded it to the 6.83.14.1, the list is empty.
I'm under vista.
Thanks

The data location change from "\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\PC Suite\phone imei" to "\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Nokia\ContactsEditor" for the 6.83.
I try to delete the directory "Nokia", it doesn't work.

Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
Anyway to go back to ios6?

Problems with adding/editing contacts on iOS 5 on iPhone 4

Since I uploaded iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 the only way I can add a contact is by calling or texting them first. I cannot edit the contacts I already have either. When I go into my "contacts" app there is no plus symbol "+" and also no option to click "edit". I have already tried restoring my phone to fix the problem and it was unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here...but at least u can add contacts, i cannot ad or edit contacts, even when texting or calling the person. Hope we get this fixed soon.

Contacts with multiple numbers under the same labe...

i
I have many contacts which have numbers saved under the same label.
For example a contact like this:
First name: A
Mobile: 11
Mobile: 22
Telephone: 33
Telephone: 44
When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows:
A
Mobile: 11
Telephone: 44
Mobile (other): 22
As you see it deleted one of "Telephone" labeled numbers. It also happened when I used PC suite.
It is really annoying as if I save/sync the contact using Ovi, it causes loss of contacts data.
BTW there is no problem using Backup/Restore function of Ovi/PC suite, nor "Copy to memory card" function of the phone itself.
Ovi suit version : 2.1.1.1
Nokia E51 v300.34.56
Windows 7
PS:
tested another one with 6 different numbers under the same "Mobile" label
the result in Ovi is:
AA
Mobile: 11
Mobile (main): 33
Mobile (other): 22
the other 3 numbers were lost

Ah, you have an interesting setup here.
Could you answer a few clarifying questions regarding this.
> When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows
* Did you perform a sync? Or did you just connect the phone and look at the contact card in the phone view?
I had performed sync before and realized that some contact data are missing in my phone, so I started investigating to see exactly which contacts are affected by creating some dummy contacts and editing them by clicking on my phones icon below the window of "Contacts" tab in ovi.
* Did you check the contact in your phone (using the phone's UI)? Were all the details there - or are you saying that Ovi Suite lost some of the details?
In fact both. Ovi fails to extract and show some numbers and thus fails to write them back to the phone correctly. The lost details are purged from the phone too.
Just to confirm I've understood the scenario correctly
1) you have contact card in phone with two mobile numbers (same label) and two telephone numbers (same label)
yep
2) you sync with Ovi suite
Either Sync or directly open and save contact.
3) the mobile numbers have been re-labled to Mobile and Mobile (other) but the numbers are preserved
They are re-labled only when viewed in Ovi, but written back to the phone with the same "Mobile" lable as created on the phone.
4) one of the Telephone numbers is completely lost from Ovi Suite and phone.
And this scenario happened with this setup:
- Ovi suite version : 2.1.1.1
- Nokia E51 v300.34.56
- Windows 7
I just want to be clear on the setup and scenario so we can investigate.
thanks, Aki
I also done another test
This is the contact created in phone:
BEGIN:VCARD

And this is what happens to contact when I just click edit and then save in Ovi.

No firmware and no contact with PC with zen visio

I wanted to upgrade firmware and followed an instruction that told me to rebuild firmware first and then install the firmware upgrade. The update program doesnt say it is docked - although it states docked in the Vision M screen.
Appreciate any helpMessage Edited by borge on 04-3-20070:50 PM

Ok, I am assuming that either pc suite is so buggy that no one has had a chance to emulate this or that no one has this issue other than me and everyone is synchronising their outlook contacts with their N70 and are still able to us voice Tags?
If anyone is experiencing this issue can they please let me know I am not the only person having this problem or preferably if anyone knows a fix please let me know so I can either ignore and forget ever using voice tags or allow me to use what would be a really useful feature?
I am beginning to think this may be like a Microsoft built in feature
Cheers, B

Don't see my N80 contacts via PC suite over Blueto...

When I'm connected to my N80 via Bluetooth and open "Contacts" from the PC suite, I see no contacts even though I've synced in about 100 contacts. I can see other files (like JPEGs I've loaded). I'd like to edit some of the contacts without resyncing. How do I do get to see my contacts?
Also, I've set my contacts to sort by first name but they are sorted by last name. How do I change this?
Thanks!

When you open the contacts in PC Suite, it actually open an extended Windows Explorer view and in that window, when you have the contacts folder highlighted, if you press F5 it should update the list of contacts visible. Also there is a small button with phone and arrow, if you press that, it updtes the list.
I did not quite get the comment about editing contacts without resyncing, pressing the F5 actually causes a sync between the phone and PC view and if you then open a contact and edit, when oyu press save, again it resyncs the editied contact to phone.
Unless you save the contact to your PC somewhere, but then obiviously the cahges are not in your phone.
