Nokia E71 - reasons why it would not sync

Hi,
I've been getting a few complaints/queries as to why my users E71's are not syncing with thier exchange accounts, and was looking to compile a list of reasons why so that I know what to look for and what I can change/modify to show that it's not the devices fault as it has been set up to sync in this mannor.
So far I have;
Sync schedule (manual/push/15 mins etc))
Sync schedule (9am-5pm)
Data connectivity issues (lack of data reception)
Sync content not set to be synced in the first place.
Possible exchange server issues.
That's all I can think of for now (I'm not really a mornin person so I've no doubt missed a few big ones!) so if you can think of any others please let me know, I'm sure others may find it useful also!
Cheers :-)

I had this same problem as well.  The advice in the post by Woekki worked for me, just changing sync mode from Manual to Automatic.
I also found another way to sync the calendar manually if you want to leave Mail for Exchange in manual mode.  Follow these steps:
1. On your E71, Go into "Mail for Exchange"
2. Press the right button to select "Back" to get to the "Messaging" screen.
3. Highlight "Mail for Exchange" and press the left button to select "Options."
4. Select "Settings" from the Options menu
5. Scroll down to "E-mail" select it.
5. Highlight "Mail for Exchange" and press the left button to select "Options."
6. Select "Edit" from the Options menu
=> It will say "Sync mode: Manual, Current status: Idle"
7. Press the left button to select "Options" and select "Synchronize"
=> You will see the "Current status" change from Idle to "Connecting.. Connected.. Syncing Email.. Syncing Calendar.. Syncing Contacts.. Syncing Tasks"
So if you ever want to sync your Calendar, you just have to go through those steps.
Also if you do want to change your sync mode to automatic or manual, just follow the steps above, but instead of doing step 7, just select "Sync Mode" and make the change there.  You can set it to sync as little as every four hours during business hours, so that is the easiest way to make sure your calendar gets in sync, without having to sync email too often.

  • Any reason why iTunes would not sync with my iOS device using USB cable?

    Hi there,
    what could be the reason if iTunes won't sync with my iOS 5 devices via USB? The devices are recognized in iTunes (I can see the devices there and all the content stored on these devices), but the sync does not work...
    BTW: I tried several different USB cables already...
    I am using Mac OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
    Thanks

    I can't recommend any learning resources, especially since what you are going to be doing likely falls under the category of basic untutorialed coding.
    When I decided to take the plunge I had a project in hand that I had just created in AS2, and what I did was restart the project using AS3, tackling each coding element as it came up. One nice thing about AS3 is that it is much better with pointing out coding errors--while cryptic at times, you get better at interpretting them with time--and when you don't get any, chances are you are on the right track.  So you try something and if it flies, great, and if an error message pops up, you pursue solving the error.
    In most cases, the Flash help documents are a sufficient reference, but in other cases I would rely on Google.  Just as a for instance, you mention using key listeners... That would be something I would have serach Google using "AS3 key listener", and I'm willing to bet you'd find something to get you over the hump.  Sometimes it helps to add "tutorial" to the end of a search string... it can help weed out all the others that have psotings on forums that are offering problems rather than solutions.

  • Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?

    Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once? I would like to be able to sync between all three services.

    Definetely not. It's as simple as maintaining a single database and use it for iCloud, Google, Yahoo or any other... like it was earlier. It's just Apple being barbaric in their strategy to restrict use of competing devices and services.

  • Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

    This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

    It is not Mac to Mac.
    Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
    Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

    Downloading should be fairly easy and the installer opens but nothing seems to happen after that.

    What link, website? Firefox should not do that. Did you get FF from '''Mozilla.org?'''
    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
    '''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

  • After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  Now Mail crashes every time I open it.  What's up?

    After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail.  Does anyone have an suggestions?

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

    Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

    These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other.  No one from Apple replies here.  Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

  • Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

    why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer and I'm unable to sync this app that I previously had downloaded.  Any help pls.

    Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

  • Why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    Hey ThierryWillame,
    Thanks for the question. Were these songs purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, see the following resource. If not, follow the same steps for the content, based on how you acquired it (delete and re-add).
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

  • Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

  • When i open my computer this appears "c:\Programdata\AppleVerifierPolicy.dll  the specific module caould not be found"  i think this may be the reason why i can not open itunes store

    when i open my computer this appears "c:\Programdata\AppleVerifierPolicy.dll  the specific module caould not be found"  i think this may be the reason why i can not open itunes store

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Treo 750 would not sync

    I have had my Treo 750 for several years. Once before it would not sync and I remember being told to delete the sync partnership and then establish a new one. So I deleted the partnership but can't get it to establish a new one. I have gone to the sync center and clicked on "set up a new partnership." But it shows there are no new devices. HELP!

    You will have to sync the T3 to Outlook, if you are fine with that then yes, If you are wanting to use Palm desktop you are going to need a third party program from www.chapura.com called pocket copy.
