Nokia to AddressBook to Entourage loses field

Hi:
I use iSync to synchronize my Nokia 6230 with AddressBook. Numbers with default tag in my Nokia phone synchronize to "other" field in AddressBook. When that information is then passed to Entourage (sync services enabled), this "other" field is lost (it remains intact in AddressBook). So the problem seems to be in how Entourage receives the "other" field from AddressBook. Basically, it doesn't.
So, is there a way I can tell iSync to put the telephone number from the Nokia phone in a field different from "other" when synchronizing with AddressBook? Or, how can I get Entourage and AddressBook to fully synchronize the information, that is to have Entourage receive the information in the "other" field?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

The numeral 5 is the numeric equivalent to the J key, as is the numeral 9 to the M key. It may be that the data field into which this information is transfered displays numeric characters only, and that letters which can be translated into their numeric keypad equivalents are, while others are not.
The solution is likely separate contact records for each individual, that than differentiated data on a single card.

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

Nokia 9300 and Isync of notes field

I just purchsed this phone, hasn't arrived yet, but would like to know if when syncing with a mac, the notes field is also synced. I have a lot of info in my notes field on my mac and it's important that this be transferred to my 9300 when it arrives. After a year and a half with a T-mobile wing windows mobile pro phone that deleted all my contacts whenever I tried to do a sync I am really looking forward to a new operating system and this phone which seems to have a beautiful form factor. So if the notes field from mac contacs I will be really pleased.

HI Kimberly
I got my 9300 to work with iSync on 10.4.7
Here is how... If you go to http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html
You can buy the plugins to make iSync work with your 9300. Yes I know, I wish it was also free, but 9 euro isn't that much. So I bought the plugins and gave it a try. And it worked, I can now sync my 9300 with my mac using iSync. It uses the syncML protocol and therefore does not need to install any applications on your 9300 as it uses the build in syncing tool on the phone.
There is a small bug though that when you sync all day events to your phone or your mac they appear as an event that starts at 00:00 and continues to 23:59 on the same day. In iCal you can then just drag this to the top section of iCal so it looks like an all day event is supposed to (not much effort), on your 9300 it just appears as another appointment so it isn't that bad. (I suppose)
When I spoke to the developers at Nova Media about this, to see if they could perhaps fix it, this is the response I got:
"SyncML is a standard. As long as this standard is not extended and then implemented by Apple, Nokia etc. it can't be changed. Choose now, what you want to live with for the next 1-2 years."
Hope this helps.

Isync, Addressbook, ical, Entourage 08

I was using Hotsync w/ palm desktop and Entourage 04, going well.
Decided to upgrade to Entourage 08, but then need to use Apple Isync conduit.
Yesterday this seemed to work, except I kept getting alerts that I had conflicts different addresses, so today I decided to do the following:
For the first sync I chose in isync "erase the handheld, then syncronize"
So my contacts on my palm were erased, calendar was not.
Now,
Since then after a "successful" sync, nothing happens.
No contacts are added to the palm, and no calendar events are added to the palm
Any ideas?
Entourage 08 and Addressbook/iCal seem to be talking ok
Tried removing the device from isync, then trying again, but nothing..

Sounds like something has gone wrong with SyncServices which needs resetting. Make sure you back-up your Contacts and Calendars first though.
First try the solution on the Apple Tech Support page below:

If that doesn't resolve it, try the solution I posted in the thread here:

Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

I bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
- office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
- firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
- dropbox (ditto)
<these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
MAIN ISSUE:
entourage wont open at all. so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
MY OPTIONS:
please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
A) try to get office 2008 to work.
when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac? and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
i never had issues my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
cheers!

Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.

NOKIA, ARE YOU FINALLY GOING TO FIX THE EMAIL IN E...

Almost 4 months after I bought this stupid device, I still can't use it as a messaging device - I tried several types of setup and it always failed because of BUGS.
I have 3 gmail accounts and here is what I tried:
1. I created Nokia Messaging account and registered my 3 gmail accounts - they appeared on the device, but no e-mails were ever delivered - FAIL
2. I created Ovi mail account and forwarded my 3 gmail accounts to it, then registered the Ovi account in Nokia Messaging - it received e-mails, but it didn't support the Cyrillic alphabet - 90% of the messages were unreadable - FAIL
3. I setup direct IMAP connections to my gmail accounts - it worked for some time, then one of the accounts stopped receiving mail. After some debugging, I found that if I receive e-mail with .EML or .MSG attachment, the E72 mail client is not able to receive mail anymore, at least from gmail. Not to mention that the IDLE does not work and it's stated in the specs that it MUST - FAIL
4. I don't want to try with POP3 because I'm almost sure what will be the result - FAIL
I tried all the above things several times with the hope that at least Nokia Messaging servers will be fixed in some way - WRONG, NOTHING WAS FIXED IN THESE 4 MONTHS!
So, I paid money for this phone and 4 months later I'm still unable to use it? And there is no any sign of new firmware coming to fix it? I have seen many mail client implementations (outlook, win mobile, thunderbird, your own E71 client) and none of them had such STUPID BUGS. I'm still using Outlook 2003 and it never failed in such stupid way and it is so old.

Unfortunately, Nokia seems to be focused to earn money, not to offer the most competitive products. And their outstanding financial results prove this. The days when Nokia was a pioneer in this field are long gone.
These days, all inovations are found elsewhere:
Best camera: Sony Ericsson / Samsung
Best display: Samsung
Best design: Apple iPhone
Best E-mail client: Windows Mobile
Best music player: Apple iPhone
Best web browser: Apple iPhone / Android
Best OS: Android
and so on and so forth.... I cannot rememeber anything that Nokia offers best.
But I cannot blaim them. They offer cheap products with reasonable features, solid build, good all-rounder, and the share-holders are happy.

I get the phone my phone on 09/08/2014 at the Nokia Store, located at Gardens Mall in Aracaju / SE, Brazil. Study and work with the phone, is extremely important because I'm a Micro Emprededor, now registered in the CNPJ: 20,652,466 / 0001-89, and use it to my hobby as an amateur Photographer I went to this store on the date mentioned already seeking the Nokia 930, but the equipment was missing and empurarraram me with Nokia 1320 nomenclature give the impression that is acquiring a higher Desired product, look at the difference 930 to 1320, it attracted me because I was looking for processing, memory and a good quality of picture in the picture, but the device had no higher than the intended product quality, and the camera is terrible nothing that I was sold.

View middle name in contact list, nokia asha 302

Hello everyone.
I have a problem. I have a big contact list and there are contacts with middle names. But I can't understand how can I see contact's middle name in my Nokia Asha 302 contact list.
I saw the same problem here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/How-to-display-First-Name-Middle-Name-Last... But there's no help answers.
Does anybody know, is it possible to view middle names in contact list? I don't want to edit all middle names by concatinating first and middle name.

On certain devices (especially S40 such as the Nokia Asha 302) the 'Middle Name' Field may not be possible. It may not be available under 'Add Details' too ...

Searching Text in Contact Notes Field

Hi,
I have been a Windows Phone user all along. I am interested in switching over to Nokia.
I am looking for one basic requirement of being able to search through the Contacts Field for any text.
I use MS Outlook and store lot of text in the Notes Field inside each of my Contact and I need to be easily able to bring up all contacts that have a particular word or string inside the notes area. I can easily do this in Windows phone. But so far no nokia user has been able to tell me for sure if this is possible, if so how.
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Yes you CAN search the notes field (for any text) in a contact, but ONLY with Nokia's Search Utility (free download http://mobilesearch.nokia.com/index.html).
The Address Book application is limited to searching by first name, last name, and company name only.
The Nokia Search Utility is very good, but it's not exactly fast. Generally speaking the Symbian operating system requires patience.
It's worth knowing that Nokia phones impose a limitation on the size of the notes field in an Outlook contact. The limitation varies from each Nokia model. But for example, notes (in a contact record) are limited to 255 characters on the N80, and 1,000 (one thousand) characters on the N95. On my old Nokia 6600 there was no such limit imposed, which was great. I often wonder why the oldest model phone had better support for Outlook sync, than the latest models - perhaps it's all about memory conservation.
I also use the notes section in my Outlook contacts extensively. Ideally I would use a Windows Mobile device for true Outlook synchronisation. But I can't find a Windows Mobile device as capable as the N95, so I tolerate and find work arounds Nokia's sync issues.
Nokia do a good job of updating their software frequently. Hopefully if it's demanded enough, they will remove the limitation on the size of the Notes field.
Microsoft Outlook 2003 also has a limit on the size of the Notes field in a Contact Record, but it's much more generous at over 1,000,000 (one million) characters.
Come on Nokia! Stop truncating the notes field!

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

My new Nokia E 5 does not focus well, HELP!

Hey all I have bought Nokia E5 just couple of weeks ago. Camera does not focus well and the pictures are not clear. 3.2 MP Camera of my nokia N93 was alot better than its(E5) 5 Mega Pixel. Nokia should sort this out, they should have checked it before introducing in the market. I want NOKIA to sort this out OR REPLACEMENT!!!!! Can any one help me with this?

I don't own an E5, but assume you know its camera uses a different focusing technology than most other Nokia phones, EDoF (Extended Depth of Field)? Before deciding your camera is faulty, please read about how it was designed to work: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/Camera_Nitty_Gritty_Supplemental-EDoF.php . Hope that helps.

Entourage 2008 won't sync to iCal since 10.5.3

Hi,
Since I updated to 10.5.3, Entourage 2008 won't sync to iCal. I've already tried to uncheck the sync option in Entourage preferences and check it again using the "Entourage replaces iCal" option. Contacts seem to sync to address book normally. However, my Exchange calendar in Entourage won't replace iCal items. Both iCal and Exchange calendar in Entourage seem to have merged (which is a big problem for me). After this unfortunate merge, nothing is syncing in one direction or another...
Any help appreciated!

Maybe this could be a better solution. Since the problem is only with Entourage, I did some diggin' and found out that there seems to be a problem with Entourage SyncService-Registration.
The easiest solution is:
1) Switch off syncing in Entourage and quit Entourage, iCal, AddressBook, Mail
2) Kill SyncServer (via ActivityMonitor)
3) Delete contents of Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/
4) Start iCal, AddressBook, Mail, Entourage
5) Switch on syncing in Entourage

Sync Services error while Syncing with Mac & Entourage 2004

Hello All,
I got an error '.Mac Sync Error' screen while syncing from Entourage 2004, v11.3.3 for Mac. OS X 10.4.10. Some data did sync, but the entries that did not are apparently untraceable. It said, "You can't modify a record that doesn't exist."
I tried wiping the old Addressbook on the Mac side to eliminate any corrupt
data. The first sync with Entourage and subsequent sync gives the same
error. Funny but my iPhone syncs great with Addressbook and doesn't give a
similar error. It may be that this error is on iCal instead. How do I find the error from the number given?
I checked the database in Entourage with Database Utility and no errors were
found. I also backed up the database and compacted it just so I'd have a
copy.
The database does somehow get duplicate information to Addressbook with
subsequent syncs which end up duplicating entries on both Addressbook and
Entourage. iCal seems reliable but I don't know...

(Also posted in Newsgroup:microsoft.public.office.mac.entourage)

The push descriptor indicates that your machine is trying to push—or, send—data to an Unfiled calendar that does not exist elsewhere. 'Elsewhere' could be in the truth database on that machine, at .Mac or on another synchronized machine.
It's clearly not on your local machine in iCal anymore. If you reset the truth database by using the Reset Sync History… option in iCal, it should no longer be present on .Mac, if you subsequently synchronized. If you opted instead to Reset Sync Data and pushed records from .Mac to your machine, it is likely that it once again resides in your copy of iCal. If you opted to Reset Sync Data and pushed records from .Mac to your machine, it will not be present in iCal.
The most reasonable explanation, given what you have described and the error dialog you printed, is that this Unfiled Calendar exists on another synchronized Macintosh. If that is the case, you must also delete it from the copy of iCal on that machine.
If you don't have another synchronized machine in your pool, I can give you a terminal command that will completely obliterate your truth database and require that you start all over again, reregistering all of your clients—including Entourage—and starting all over.
You should, by the way, disable Entourage synchronization to isolate it and temporarily simplify your synchronization pool, until you have resolved this issue. Do not simply delete the Entourage calendar from iCal, for that will result in the deletion of matching records in Entourage itself during the next synchronization event.

Switch from Entourage to Apple mail

I have imported my Entourage emails and Addressbook into Apple mail. Some new emails are coming into Entourage and some into Apple Mail and some into both. How do I control this so they stop coming into Entourage and come only into Apple?
Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for your reply.
If I have imported my addressbook and emails from Entourage into Apple mail, is that the same thing has backing up my Entourage data as you suggested? Or is there something else I'm not aware of that should be backed up. All I have ever used Entourage for is email and addressbook. Entourage has also been automatically backing up up on iDisk.
Thanks again.
You're going to need to stop Entourage from getting
email from that account.
Open Entourage.
Go to the Entourage menu.
You can then select and delete the account.
Note: You should consider backing up your Entourage
data just in case you change your mind.
