Outlook contacts & Comcast problems

I'm a total Newbie!!
I have 2 problems.Until I purchased my 8130, my email & cell contacts were completely seperate.I synced on Outlook and it worked perfectly.
1. My first problem is that I can not "import" my address book from Comcast.All my old emails transferred over w/o a prob.I am now adding email addresses as I receive them or from old emails.Any suggestions?
2. Now that I synced, I have a mess of contacts on Outlook from my BB in almost no particular order.This may be more of an Outlook question, but I'm not sure how to "contain" this mess to get everything organized.Not sure the difference of address book and contacts on Outlook.I don't need my "cell phone" contacts mixed with email addresses.
I do have an Outlook manual, but haven't found anything.
Any suggestions?

Check if you have any attach file in contacts, remove the attach and sync again.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

Outlook contact groups problem in iTunes v11

How can i find the Info Tab in iTunes v11?
And my main problem is; how can i select the desired contact groups in Outlook Contacts which the sync with my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1.

Hi,
I would like to create two folders - one for me and one for my wife. So under 'My Contacts' in Outlook 2010 it looks like this:
Suggested contacts
Contacts
Suggested contacts (email address)
Simon's contacts
Julie's contacts
iTunes has picked up these sub-folders - THANKS!
However, I would like to keep the 'Contacts' folder with all the contacts in and only copy selected contacts from there and place them into my wife's folder and mine. The 'copy' function does not seem to work.
Obviously my contacts are different to my wife's and she does not want hundreds of names on her contact list.
So, basically how do I copy contacts without moving them out of the contacts folder and manually typing them all back in my wife's folder (some contacts we both need)?
Hope you can help on this one.
Many thanks,
Simon

Tour Outlook Contacts Synchronization Problem

Every time I wire synch my BB Tour with my MS Outlook, the Contacts on my computer (Dell PC) have added lines in the address of the contact and a repearted duplicated line of the street or suite part of the address. Is there a way to stop this. It does it on about 100 of my 1400 contacts every time I synch.

The following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronize
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desktop Manager 4.7
Example: Synchronize address book/calendar -
Connect you handheld with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization.
To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes. For Calendar, Calendar -> click Menu -> Options -> choose desired Calendar -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book/Calendar (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes, Yahoo! etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

CONTACTING SEVER FOR INFORMATION OUTLOOK 2010 -2013 problem single user

I have the contacting server problem that popped up in Outlook 2010 after a long time without the issue. Upgraded to 2013 2 weeks ago and same issue.
THIS IS A STAND ALONE COMPUTER. Weeks of sorting through the thousands of post on this issue that Microsoft obviously has no serious intent to correct. Tired of reading the maybe this will work answers relating to servers or requiring safe modes
and other fun things most home users know nothing about and should not have to if Microsoft would fix issues. Not an issue to them after they have the money.
Again, stand alone high end Dell with maxed out ram and over 2 1/2 T HD space on a couple of drives. NEVER had this issue with Office / Outlook 200, 2003 and for a long while with 2010.
Yes I do have a bad attitude about this issue. Mighty tired of MS Software released with known issues since the first package came out. Anyone really think Gates cares one iota about sold packages?

Thank you for the shot sat the Microsoft Error.
This message" contacting server for data" happens when I am opening mail
in Outlook. There is not a constant. Sometimes it does it on every mail as it is opened and sometimes it doesn't., There are many times when this message will not appear when a message is opened but will appear when the
same message is opened later.
Message for=mats from my friends who flew helicopters in Vietnam with me are the same as they have been for many years. Many years that this popup was not an issue. No themes ever and only a few with signatures of the sender as always.
We have always had the many pictures of Vietnam an other things like the US Presidents crotch salutes to OUR flag Never a problem until now on occasion and we use to never use pictures as attachments unless there were a lot of them at one time.
Running the same Virus Software I have ran for many years, McAfee. Aside from having this issue come out of the blue with Outlook 2010 and continue to survive when I upgraded to 2013.
Bottom line is I have changed nothing aside from having this irritating bug crop up in 2010 yet not in any of the previous releases or over a year of using 2010. What ever happened in 2010 was persistent enough to survive the upgrade to 2013.
One last thing, I have my internet speed increased by Comcast which based on timing could not have created the issue.
Thank you.

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks
Regis

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

I have a serious contacts redundancy problem. First I have multiple email account formats, e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contact

I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems. When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where.
How can I restore to my last back? If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?
Help would be greatly appreciated !!

Outlook 2007 contact synch problems with iCloud

Running into difficulties synching iCloud 1.0.1 contacts with Outlook 2007. It freezes/crashes outlook quite regularly. The contacts properly synched the the first time but now I'm getting "Couldn't save changes to x items" when Outlook tries to synch with iCloud. The reason given for a particuliar contact is "got no rsrc name for msg?!". If i try again, same message. The other option it to 'delete' which then deletes the contact(s) showing up in the error message from icloud folder in outlook but does not affect them in iCloud. I have no contacts in the default outlook folder. I am only using iCloud contacts on PC and iphone 4s.
The iCloud addin is enabled for Outlook. I removed "contacts with outlook" in the iCloud control panel and re-enabled but this did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions? I've searched for this error message apple's support but do not find any matches.
Thanks,
Rick

OK, I bit the bullet and manually did the only "work around" that I could come up with. When the message, "got no rsrc name for msg?!" comes up I manually noted the 10 contacts at a time from Outlook that were giving problems and choose the only option which did something - I choose the "delete" button. It deletes those 10 contacts from Outlook's iCloud. Taking note of which ones i deleted, then, using my iphone - I located those contacts in the iCloud (as it doesn't delete them from the cloud, but neither are then in Outlook) and made a small modification to each one - e.g. adding a period in the note field, saved and exited the contact. Then I went back to Outlook and refreshed from the iCloud. Sometimes you have to wait 3-4 mintues for the update to come through. If you get a message about a new batch of 10 contacts that have synch error problems, you will need to "X" out and close the dialog box. Sometimes only a few of the modified contacts come through and you need to go back to the cloud via phone a modify those straggler contacts again (adding another period, etc.)
Once all the previously deleted contacts come back into Outlook's iCloud folder, check them off your list as complete. Refresh iCloud on Outlook (mine has a button for this at the top of Outlook bar). You should get your next batch of 10 conflicts. Go thru the WHOLE process for ALL of your Outlook contacts.
I am pleased to say this consumed half of my Saturday doing this incredibly boring and tedious workaround for an obvious bug. I had about 250 contacts. I pity anyone that has 500+ contacts...you many as well throw the PoS phone out and go with an android.
Problem fixed, no more Outlook crashing/hanging or contact synch 'errors'.
all the best....

Question of possible problem with "display as" field in MS Outlook contact

Are you aware of any problems with an apparent shift of the display as field in MS Outlook contacts after the initial syncing with their iPhone? When preparing to send an e-mail in Outlook, the auto populating of the "display as" field is now linked to incorrect contacts. Therefore, one could unknowingly send an e-mail to the wrong recipient. After seeing this error, it appears that many of my "display as" fields have shifted among contacts within my Outlook contacts. This appears to have happened right around the first time I synced my iPhone. It could be completely unrelated to the iPhone syncing but I am curious if other iPhone / MS Outlook users have experienced similar problems.

There should be no leeway or movement. Return the phone to where you bought it and show them. It should be covered under warranty unless they determine it was dropped or accidental damage.

Problem: software changes my Outlook contact info when synchronizing (cuts off part of first name)

When I sync, the BB software cuts off part of the first name of my Outlook contacts. The problem seems to happen when I have a space in the first name (eg: First Name - Bill & Jane). I have several of my contacts listed that way so I can see spouses of contacts easily. I have never had this problem before with my other MS Op phone. Thanks for your help.
Message Edited by friedchicken on 01-05-2009 01:23 AM

I found out what happens.
Wherever the First Name filed on the BB contains a Blank (or Space) character, when synchronizing to MS Outlook, the content of the field is divided in two parts: the first part, before the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook First Name field, the second part, after the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook Middle Name field.
This goes beyond the useser's intentions and is a nuisance, becuase you can of course turn around the problem after synchronization, by exporting the MS Outlook contacts to MS Access, or MS Excel, put the two fields together, and reimport them into MS Outlook. But you need to do that each time yoy synchronize.
It would be nice if RIM could fix the issue.

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.
