Ovisuite and 5800XM contact sync problem

Hi Nokia,
One annoying problem everytime I sync up handphone contact and PC.
My contacts in the handphone GONE !! No contacts at all.
Only after I switch off and on the handphone again, the contacts in the handphone address book are back with all updates I put on PC. In OVI application, no error message whatsoever.
My PC OS is Vista Pro, S60 5th edition, SW version 31.0.101 (16Sep2009), Cust version 31.0.101.506.01 (08Dec2009).
Thanks for advise

Ovi Suite and Windows Contacts sync problem.

The sync process randomly misses phone numbers (Phone -> Windows).
I tried removing all the contacts into the Windows library and restarting the sync, but the same problem happen.
Any idea?

Dear Marina,
You said "So this issue is more like a Window Contacts application limitation".
I disagree; This is the limitation of the imagination and experience your developers have.
How stupid should someone be, not be able to figure a simple logic that if a damn field is not available, use any !^%@$# Windows Contacts field which is available?
When your software cannot do a one to one matching of the fields, Nokia Suite shouldn't even call it Sync with contacts application, and place Windows Contacts as an option!
Windows Contacts syncing has always been a way for people to share their contacts among devices! What you have done is proven how dumb your software developers can be!
A simple, very simple solution is to fill in any field which is available to at least maintain the integrity of the data!
A little more intelligent solution, which might be too much for Nokia's developers, is to try and fill in Work or Home fields and then force fill in the fields it couldn't find. This way a contact with only a "Telephone" number, will at least have a number saved!
Did that sound harsh? It is really irritating when you see how simple logic gets ignored, rendering an application that has had its roots around for decades, useless.

Ovi Suite 2 and 3 contact sync with Outlook 2007 i...

Hi all,
New user of an e71.
I have Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2007
I have tried both versions of Ovi Suite (2 and 3), and the contact sync is absolutely terrible. I have no confidence that I am getting the proper info at either place. It either munges the contact at the phone, or in Outlook.
A simple fix for this would be to follow RIM's lead, and allow OVI to choose (before the sync), which side wins when in conflict. (or stop the sync on each conflict,and allow us to choose the one which is correct)
Anyhow, after fighting OVI for over two weeks, I uninstalled OVI and tried PC Suite 7 for the first time, and it synced my contacts and all other notes, tasks, and calendar items like magic.
Love the GUI on OVI Suite, but I can't keep fighting this sync issue.

Ipod contacts sync problem

When the first time I sync my outlook express contacts to my ipod, there is no problem. After I added some contacts and try to sync, update to my ipod, I found that it add the whole contact again plus the new one and also some contacts ( in outlook express) I had deleted many years ago. Now my contacts in the ipod look some funny(2 or 3 pages with the same person).
Is anyone has any idea what's wrong and can I delete the whole contacts and sync the updated one again?
Thanks,

Not sure if I need to post my question as a separate entry, but let me first try here since this topic came up.
I have set up iTune to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts, with "replace items on iPod with Outlook" option checked. When I connect my iPod, the status bar says it is syncing with Calendar and Contacts. But nothing is changed if I open my contacts/calendar on my iPod. Any idea?

Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

Hi,
I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
I have successfully got ovi suite working.
For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
then i ran pc suite cleaner.
2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
now there should be nothing on the pc.
Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
Reboot pc
Then download ovi suite.
A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
It also works fine on my xp computer too.

HT204150 Contact sync problem

How do you get the contacts (changed/deleted) on my Iphone5 to overwrite the contacts on iCLoud so that they don't duplicate upon sync?
My contacts were transferred from my blackberry in store to my Iphone 5. I the set up an iCloud account and transferred my contacts from outlook. When I performed a sync from my Iphone and Icloud, all my contacts were duplicated. How do I overwrite icloud contacts with the reformatted, delted and changed contacts from my Iphone?

First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If most of them are gone, then they are gone.
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

Still Having Outlook 03 Contact Sync Problems

OK first the baseline information.
Systems:
iPhone 3G 2.0 software
iTunes 7.7
Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Outlook 2003 Service Pack 3 (Office Professional)
Other Considerations:
Always connected to Exchange server when trying to sync.
Contacts folder only exists on Exchange server (i.e. nothing in local .pst)
Have deleted the offline file (.ost) and had Outlook recreate.
Do not have and other "INFO" in iTunes selected to sync except Contacts (i.e. no calendar).
Issue:
Sync starts but just goes on forever until I get the error message that the Outlooksyncclient.exe has failed. No contacts are sync'ed. I have been using and syncing my iTouch for a year now and have had no problems. Now the iTouch will not sync too (same problem). I tried to sync my bookmarks from IE and this was also hanging until I (in the middle of the iTunes syncing process) when to the task manager and killed the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. After I did this, the syncing continued with the bookmarks being successfully sync. Of course, not the Contacts.
I have reset the sync history and this has done nothing. I'm at my wits end on this problem. I am concern about uninstalling iTunes because I have over 300 full CD's loaded and I can't afford the time to reload all of them again. This clearly can not be the problem associated with recurring calendar items, since I am not trying to sync the calendar at all. I have not tried to put any other sync'ed information on the iPhone other than the Contacts and Bookmarks. But not having my contacts (and in the future my calendar) is a big issue.
One other possible consideration is the fact that I have the e-mail on the iPhone set up to pull messages from my AT&T web based Worldnet account. This has been working fine, but I don't know if that would impact the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. I do not have an Exchange e-mail account defined because my companies Exchange servers are not set up to operate and exchange information to these types of devices (don't think this matters, but figure I would mention it).
I would really appreciate any direction/help on this issue. Syncing my contacts is critical to having my iPhone useful. I have already entered 80+ entries into its contact list, but this is not a sustainable approach.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Ernie

BTW, no other 3rd party software loaded, and I've double checked the Outlook e-mail COM Add-Ins and Add-In Manager to confirm this.

Nokia 6230 Contacts Sync Problem with Outlook

I have a Nokia 6230 and used to sync my contacts with outlook using PCSYNC. Now I receive a message that sync is completed but only 1 or 2 contacts are copied to the outlook (always the same ones). I have already updated the PC Synch version many times, tried to change configurations on PC Sync and on the phone, created new folders on outlook and sync profiles, cleaned the configuration files on "documents and settings" folder, contacted Nokia phone suport in Brazil, but nothing worked.
I use Windows 2000 SP4 in English, connect through Infrared and have the 6.81.13.0 version of PC Sync (I have already tried many other versions). I'm using Phone memory. When I use PC Sync explorer those same few contacts that are synchronized are the only ones that I can see in the contacts folder.
I think the problem is in some configuration file in Windows environment or I have a problem with the phone set.
Please if anyone could help me I would apreciate. I have lost many hours trying to fix that problem.

Today I searched through the discussions and found many other users with the same problem (Himalaya2050, Marbru, tugrulislier). Almost everybody using Nokia6230 and using international character set, maybe the root cause for the sync problem.
I think Nokia should have a tested fix for that problem.
Was the phone update the solution for other users? Do you have any feedback? I haven't found in the discussions any user with that problem solved.
When I first contact Nokia support in Brazil they told me to do many time consuming procedures (reinstall and update PC sw many times) that didn't worked and didn't make sense for me, as the sync was working with previous version. So I don't want to try another non tested solution, because I will have to go to a tech assistance, wait and probably loose all the information stored on the phone.
I think I will have to exchange my phone ...

Now Up To Date and Now Contact Sync with iPhone

I purchased an iPhone after using a Treo 700 with my Mac. All my calendar data is in Now Up To Date and all my contacts are in Now Contact. How do I best transition to the iPhone?
Should I export data from Now to the Apple applications and forget about Now Up To Date and Now Contact?
Any help and instruction would be great. I am ready to leave my treo behind!
CC

I've been using my Treo as a go-between for Now Up To Date and iCal with software from The Missing Sync. This seems to work as a one-way sync from NUD to my iCal. I sent an email to them asking for help and here's their reply:
Description of problem:
Hi. I've been trying to use your software to get my data from Now Up To Date (NUD) to iCal so that I can have it on my iPhone. I know you don't support the iPhone, but maybe you can see if my approach is valid at all. I have a profile in The Missing Sync that only uses the NUD conduit. It is able to get any changes to my Treo 700p just fine. Then I made another profile that only uses the Mark/Space Tasks and Events conduits to get that data from the Treo to iCal. Somehow it worked a few times, but not any more. Is my idea a good one? Should I keep trying or give it up?
Steps to Reproduce:
Here's my steps.
1) Profile named NUD Treo. Has active only the NUD conduit, set to synchronize. I run the sync from the Treo and all changes I made in NUD are transfered to the Treo just fine.
2) I change to the profile named Treo iCal. I have slected the two condiuts, Mark/Space Events and Mark/Space Tasks. I have it set to synchronize all categories. When I run the sync from the Treo, it works for a bit, but none of the changes show up in iCal. Even though the items show in the Treo's calendar, they don't transfer to iCal.
A couple of times when I did the transfer I saw a comment "pushing from handheld".... and on those syncs the data showed up. But it doesn't always say that and the data doesn't transfer on thos syncs.
The reply from The Missing Sync's Support:
Hello,
Yes, that procedure should work.
First, update to 5.1.2 if you haven't done so yet. http://www.markspace.com/ftp/missingsyncpalmos5.1.2.dmg
Then follow these directions to have the Palm overwrite the Mac's Address Book and iCal.

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

Don't want gmail and phone contacts synced

I have synced my s3 with my gmail account because I want to be able to check my email with my phone (like every other human). I don't, however, want my contacts synced because it puts many many contacts in my phone (everyone I have ever emailed). I just want phone contacts in the phone. How do I do this? Google has not been much help.

Another way is to turn off automatically adding email to your contacts. I email tons of different people and the only ones that show up in my contacts are the ones I put in my contacts. I do NOT automatically add emails to contacts as that is a completely useless feature for me.

Contact sync problem

I synced contacts to my new Nokia 5310 Xpress Music. And in my contacts list people got listed by their first names and as I have over 500 contacts, this became very inconvinient. Is there any way to put the last names in the first place?

rvia, what is your phone type ?
(if one keeps changing the synchronisation "type" from:
- update both direction (in my mind the only selection that should be used, because it is real sync and after first sync only changes are synced, nothing else)
- update only one direction
You end up confusing the sync anchors on both sides, Pc and the device and the software has no other alternative tha to keep on reading "everything everytime" and make comparisons between the items on both sides and try to avoid duplicates AND not to delete anything.
And now it seems you have done it so many times, the phone starts to freeze.
My recommendation is you delete everything from phone (assuming you have all the recourds in PC side) and the connect phone and create new sync settings (Pc Sync - Settings- Create new ones. NOTE! this is important, othervise sync will think you want to delete PC records also)
When you create new settings, use theupdate both direcitons and never change the settings after the first sync, that will ensure flawless result of sync

Contacts syncing problem iPhone 3G

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G, running iOS 3.1.3
I also have a mobile me account set up.
I'm trying to delete some duplicate contact details from my iPhone. I thought the easiest method would be via my address book after the mobile me technique failed. I have selected to replace my contacts on my iPhone with the address book contacts, synced at least 3 times but it hasn't worked.
Any pointers would be good

and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

ITunes 10.2 upgrade, iPhone 3g, and Windows XP sync problems

I, too, upgraded to iTunes 10.2. I have an iPhone 3g and use Windows XP. When I tried to sync, all of my music on my iPhone was wiped out and the sync just “hung up”. My computer's task manager reported that iTunes was “not responding” so I had to close iTunes and stop the sync. This has happened over and over. However, sync was working just fine until it tried to sync my music and ringtones. My calendars and contacts and photos was not affected my this glitch. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes without any success. Help! Any suggestions? Can I “downgrade” back to a release that works???

Hi,
Disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall on your PC. Then try syncing.
