Nokia 6720 classic, synchronise Outlook contacts &...

Firstly 6720 classic does not appear in the menu of handsets when downloading PC suite, any suggestions?
Having installed the version for the nearest handset I could find, when I attempt to synchronise I recieve the following report ' your outlook message store might have been moved. Please re-select Outlook profile and required folders'.
This I have done twice, the folders are corrrect, can anyone help? 

Hello
I use an old version of outlook express so my solution may not work for you but I'll share it anywho just in case.  I  didn't know you could sync with a folder until I started using Sony PC Suite.  I didn't want any of my outlook contacts on my phone as they are purely pc based email contacts so I found a bit of a cheet which also gives you a good safety net for your contacts.
I've only tried this with .WAB files so YMMV.
Go into outlook, open the address book, click "file" and "export" your contacts to a file somewhere you can easily find it then close outlook.
In windows exploder, go to the file you just created and rename it something useful like 6720contacts.WAB.
Now if you double click that file it should automatically open the address book without opening outlook.
Delete all the contacts and resave with the same file name.
What you should now have is an empty but correctly formatted .WAB file with a memorable name and in a safe but convenient place in your PC file system.
Next, connect your phone via PC Suite as normal, open the sync application and select settings. You may have to go into advanced settings (I'm not sure) but somewhere in there it allows you to set (a) which type of file you wish to use (ie .WAB) and (b) the path to that file name, for which there is a "browse" button so you don't have to remember the full path. Just set this last one to the file you just created and Roberta's ya Aunty!
On the "collisions" tab, set to update in one direction and from phone to PC only for this first use.  You can change it later once you have a stored file.
I would also select contacts only as the bookmarks bit is rubbish on my system but again YMMV.
Once you've found and changed the right settings, save them, close the settings dialogue box and hit "sync now".
When syncing is complete, double click the file in exploder once more and you should see a complete list of your contacts.
What appears will depend on PC Suite version, outlook version, which colums you have set to display and probably phone type.
When you're all done you can copy the file to a secure folder, floppy disc (what's them like grandad?), CD rom or pen drive to give you a totally secure backup.  Just don't forget to sync the backup each time you sync and you'll be good to go.
I discovered all the above with an N95 8Gb (Unlocked and debranded) running Euro 1 firmware and NSeries PC suite.
NSeries PC Suite is the only one I've found which will show more than one mobile number per contact.  It may well say "unsupported" on the sync report but it DOES still store them.
PCSuite 7 won't show second mobile numbers at all.  I don't know if it will store/restore them and I'm not about to dump my phones contents to find out but feel free to let me know if you try it haha!
OVI Suite is a malicous hack of a programme.  I installed it as a secound account user and yet it still wiped out NSeries PC Suite on my own log in. 
Anywho, Like I say it depends which versions of each component you're using but I hope the above proves useful for somebody if not yourself.
Regards

  • Connecting 6720 Classic via USB crash PC USB devic...

    When connecting 6720 Classic via USB cable to my Acer laptop all USB ports on laptop seize to work and Windows display a message that the USB device has malfunctioned. Eventually the PC is permanently stucked and only way to proceed is reset laptop on power button and prior to that remove the laptop charger to entirely power it off and let it reboot on battery. Harddisk controller is permanently indicating with a green light but harddisk is not spinning. When this happens the Nokia phone does not prompt for USB usage (connection type) and is also hanging in application execution for a while. I would like to be able to configure the phone not to charge via USB, but have not found a way to do that. I believe that the charging via USB is creating a low level hw driver and power surge problem in my laptop. Problem is not consistent but happens from time to time. When connecting the normal 230 VAC charger to Nokia device so the Nokia device is charging when connecting to laptop via USB the problem does not occur. In this situation the Nokia device will not try to charge from USB connection.
    Any possibility to disable the charging over USB on the Nokia 6720 Classic device??

    I had the same problem with my 6720 when I connected it to my HP laptop via USB to download maps. It crashed my computer making all USB ports unusable until I restarted the computer again. I think it happened after I downloaded the necessary software upgrade. I had to eventually use bluetooth to transfer maps data to my phone. It worked without any hitches. Can someone at Nokia fix this problem with the USB?

  • Nokia 2600 Classic calendar synchronising with Nov...

    I have been successfully using the sync capability  for a year or so on the version of pc suite prior to Ovi, for managing my calendar appointments (using Novell Groupwise) on my pc then uploading to my phone Nokia 2600 Classic.
    Now that I have downloaded the Ovi suite to my phone, the synchronising no longer works, although all other elements of the software works ok.
    Can anybody offer any advice?

    Hi all,
    just to follow up on this issue, I thought some might like to know I've been in touch with the novamedia.de support team. They sent a new version of the plugin, and now I have calendar syncing via bluetooth working (like a charm). However the contacts syncing is still one-way only, from the phone to the computer. Will post here when (if?) this is sorted out

    HI guys,
    I STRONGLY SUGGEST NOT TO BUY THIS MODEL!!!
    I hv bought this set and am struggling too! I hv bought this set only because, this supports data sync with PC. I hv given it back at the service center but they r clue less. U cannot write anything from PC to Mobile via bluetooth. More over, data cable is not supported by this model, which is agreed by the service center people.
    I am gonna ask for compensation for this if they r not able to resolve this problem.
    They can't take the consumers for ride like this.
    I hv provided them with good support, in the nokia PC suit, the handset shows a lock symbol after pairing. It means there is some software lock which prevents us from writing to mobile from PC.
    Any opinions or solutions solicited.
    Regards

  • Outlook e-mail not synchronising all contacts

    It's possible to synchronise contacts stored in outlook the free online mail service. This service allows you to link your contacts with some social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc.
    I have synchronised my Iphone with my contactlist stored in outlook but not all contacts are syncronised. All contacts linked with other socialnetworks are synchronised but most of those who are not linked to other services are not syncronised. When I edit one that is not syncronised and wait a while Iphone synchronises that contact. Still those who I haven't edited are not. Please can someone help me out with this problem or fix this issue.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/outlook

    Well, so far, so good.
    The plugin seems to be working. I'll have to do some more rigorous observations to see if there are things not syncing-up, but on the surface, the httpmail plugin is working.

  • Synch Gmail contacts on Nokia 3120 Classic

    Hi,
    How can I synch the Gmail contacts with my Nokia 3120 Classic Mobile phone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jabhijeet,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Your phone doesn't support such functionality, but you can log into your social network accounts on your phone for you to be able to view their contact info. 
    Another option is to add your contacts manually. To do this, tap People > swipe to contacts and then follow the steps below:
    Tap the Add (+) icon .
    If you're signed in to several accounts, select the account to which you want to save the contact.
    Add the contact details, and tap Save icon. Note that your contacts are backed up automatically to your Microsoft account.

  • Outlook contacts - Synchronisation of groups

    Hello. Was wondering if anyone knew how I could get my iphone 4s to recognise my contact group lists in the MS outlook on my work pc. While I have a mac at home & I know that I can create groups in icloud, I'm not keen to have to do everything twice. While my iphone is an improvement on my old HTC desire, the synchronisation of that phone with my outlook contacts, calendar etc was flawless.
    I would be grateful for any advice.
    Thanks

    There is a simple fix.  The loader process made an automatic backup during the upgrade from which it did the restore after the loading process.  Try this:  
    plug the device in to the PC. 
    Then open Desktop Manager. 
    Go to Backup/Restore. 
    Click on Advanced. 
    Then go to the File menu in the upper left and click open. 
    Browse to the file named "LoaderBackup (yesterday's date) and double click that.  It should load all the databases on the left hand side of the screen. 
    click on the address book database in the left side pane and then hit the arrows in between the two panes that point to the right.
    That should restore just the address book database back to the device.

  • Outlook-Synchronisation a contact's birthday

    Dear Forum,
    we use a few 8800 BBs with Enterprise-Activated Outlook Sync.
    When I create a outlook contact with a birthday date, the synchronized contact on the BB8800 ist one day EARLIER than the correct date! (For example: Outlook birthday is today, the 27th of january --> the synchronized contact on the BB has the property "Birthday: 26.09.2009").
    I just flashed the newest Firmware V 4.5.0.55 (System software 2.7.0.68), but the problem still exists.
    Anyone who could help? Thank you very much!

    Unfortunately, you cannot do that automatically, this means you would have to do it manually one by one.

  • Nokia PC Suite and Outlook sync - field

    Hello,
    why does Nokia PC Suite put default contact number into "Other Phone" field in outlook? This field isn't shown anywhere, and it gives troubles when trying to sync outlook with other applications.
    How can I change where number is saved in outlook?

    Hi,
    This may be a limitation on phone side
    The standard 'Telephone' field on a S40 device will be synchronised to the 'Other' number field in Outlook.
    If you whish to change this then you can select 'Change Type' from the menu option on the device, and choose either 'Home' or 'Work' telephones, this will then be synchronised to the 'Home' or 'Work' number field in Outlook.
    Please let me know if it helped you

  • Sync Multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders

    We have multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders in Outlook (Work and Personal). Is it possible to sync multiple folders to the iPhone?

    The problem is excactly what I just found out while trying to sync my new N97, which I also bought for the reason, it was said to be able to sync my outlook contacts (etc.). But sorry, just syncing one folder nearly equals to it cannot sync at all. I am really upset, to see the lack of this function to such a sophisticated mobile and software. (The mobile cannot do nothing about it, it is a problem of PC Suite. But the mobile worth only so much, as it is supported by the software!)
    To add to blutarskys request, it is not only used in business, that people have folders in Outlook contacts. Hello, it is the most convenient way, to organize groups of contacts, like family, friends, colleagues, support, etc. pp. Myriads of people use that function as it is one of the most basic functions.
    So please Nokia, launch this feature up asap. It is deeply requested.
    Without, N97 is of no use for me. I still cannot believe, it is not possible. I still just hope someone will state, that we just overlooked it.
    Kind regards.

  • Internet problems with Nokia 2730 classic

    Hi
    I recently bought a Nokia 2730 classic (on Orange PAYG). I'm able to browse most websites using the phone's browser. However, when I attempt to access Gmail, I get the following error: Secure connection not available. I get a similar error when trying to set up my email in the 'messages' section. I also get this error when I try to log in to Twitter - the common factor seems to be that they are https pages.
    I'm also unable to use the Nokia Ovi store. Whenever I try to download anything, it will reach 35% before saying Download/Install Failed. I'm guessing that the two problems are related.
    Does anyone know how I might be able to resolve either of these problems? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    ovi store uses prefered access point wether you set it to be used or not.
    Some operator have different access point for different purpose. Eg, prepaid customer have different access point and post paid customer have thier own too. And if you have unlimited data plan your sim may use different access point too.
    One of my freind is using same model. When settings are configured mannually, network doesn't allow connection. Preferred access point which operator has sent, was meant for postpaid customer with data plan but my freind is using prepaid sim. So the problem is setting or ovi which is not smart enough to use defualt configuration, it tries to use preferred access point even it is set to 'no'
    Better contact SP wether they can sent preferred access point for your need

  • Nokia 6120 classic - Call log icons bug

    Hi to all.
    This is my first message in the forum.
    One week ago I bought a Nokia 6120 classic with brand Vodafone (I'm from italy).
    Everything works great except  the icons in the call log, accessible with the green key (that's to say the answer key).
    In fact, despite the phone numbers are correctly stored (and divided, for each contact, into mobile, home, etc.), the icons in the call lag is always the small blue icon related to a mobile phone niumber, even if  the number does not correspond to a mobile phone number.
    I have firmare version 4.21.

    Nokia 6129c EMS53.02
    Through Nokia Software Updates I see there is a new firmare: v6.01.
    Do you know if this firmware fix the call log icons bug?
    As it is the unique bug I faced, I don't want to go on with a firmeware update if the new firmare do not solve it.
    Unfortunately I can't find on the web a changelog for this firmware.
    Many thanks.

    well the change logs for firmware updates are not public knowledge, they do not get released so in reality you never know what you are getting. firmware update is always recommened as it brings in more stability to the phone, usually fixes bugs, improves speed, sometimes battery performance and other identified issues. the chances are that you will not be able to find a changelog for your phone. you may not be able to update your phone unless it has been approved by voda since your phone is branded it is up to them to release approved firmware versions for thier customers.
