Spaces in contact numbers when syncing from outloo...

When entering numbers in Outlook in international format and syncing with S60 phones you get spaces in the numbers which prevents the phone recognising callers.
Does anyone know how to prevent outlook from adding the spaces or getting the mail for exchange synchronisation to remove them.
Or does anyone have another solution to allow the phone to recognise callers whilst synchronising with outlook/exchange?
Thanks

Thank you for your help.
I have just resolved the problem by setting my phone and modem options in control panel so my location is incorrect.
Outlook adds a space in numbers for your own country.
i.e. for the uk which has the country code 44
You get:
+44 1234567899
For all other countries no space in inserted.
+311234567890
Every other phone I have had ignores spaces in the number but with my E61 I have to set my pc to the incorrect local.
Problem solved.
Hopefully Nokia will fix or at least not repeat this bug in phones. Anyone know where you can log issues with Nokia? I don;t need them to fix this now but as a programmer I know that without customer feedback it's hard to test and discover bugs like this.
Thanks for you help.
Regards
Alex

  • Some Contacts getting combined with others when syncing from google

    I am having an issue where some of my contacts are getting merged when syncing from google.
    For example I have 3 contacts:
    Company 1 dispatch which has two phone numbers  
    Company 2 dispatch which has two phone numbers  
    Company 3 dispatch which has two phone numbers   
    On my Pre, I see two entries in contacts:
    Company 1 dispatch which has two phone numbers  
    Company 2 dispatch which has four phone numbers  
    I can not search for company 3, but thier phone number appears under company 2.
    Any ideas, suggestions,etc

    Same thing happens for me, AND when syncing with more than one service  (ie google and facebook) my original contacts that I had entered into the phone prior to the synergy sync,   get deleted.  I had to take like 2 hours and create a new gmail account and add all of my contacts 1 by 1,  and then sync the phone.   VERY frustrating, and Im kind of annoyed that the pre doesn't work with Sprint's Mobile Sync.     
    Other than that I do love my Pre.  ;o) 

  • Tunes to Contacts deleted when sync

    My biggets frustration is that I have allocatd tunes/songs to varios contacts.  Everytime I sync it removes these....HELP

    See user guide page 10ff:
    Contacts
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft
    Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express),
    Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
    contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
    application at a time.)
    If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
    new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
    set up syncing.

    Set up your contacts on your pc as desired, select "delete info on iphone once" in the info pane in itunes when your phone is connected. Your contacts will be synced from our pc to your phone. After the sync you should have the same info on pc and phone.

    My album is not litsed alphabetically but it is when synced from PC to iphone. How do I keep the songs list in my iphone as it is in my album?

    Check the section in the User Guide for Music, It might help you navigate around the app a little better: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    To reiterate, some reasons you may not be getting Albums group as you want:
    Songs are not properly tagged in itunes prior to synching (you should also make sure Album Artist is tagged, BTW)
    You are using the wrong view in the Music app

    My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, txstan

    Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
    Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
    Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

  • Keeping Contacts & Apps when syncing iPhone with new computer

    I just got a new netbook with Windows 7 Starter. I would like to transition from using my current work laptop to the netbook as the manager of my iPhone. When I try to sync my iPhone with the new computer it says that my iPhone's library is linked to another computer. It appears that all of my contacts and apps will be erased if I sync these items on the netbook.
    Does anyone know a way that I can keep this information without erasing? I already erased my music content from the iPhone. I foresee a real problem since this netbook doesn't have Outlook and all my contact information is in that format. I also don't want to have my apps all wiped out. Thanks for the help.

    iTunes content can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
    No other content is touched or erased when doing so including iPhone contacts especially if you don't select to sync contacts with a supported application on a new computer.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If you haven't activated the new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you should do so before doing this.
    With Windows, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available on the new computer, you will have Windows Contacts available. Before syncing contacts with Windows Contacts, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync with Windows Contacts, which you want to select.
    There is no Outlook format or Apple address book format with contacts. You can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 or with Windows Contacts on a PC, and sync contacts with Apple's address book on a Mac.
    Contact, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers. With two Windows computers, with two Macs, or with a Windows computer and a Mac.

  • Contacts won't sync from iPhone to Mac Air

    I have had an iPhone 5C for the past year with iOS 7.1.2 (the most recent iOS).
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.4.
    My issue is that none of my newly created contacts will sync with my Mac's contacts. Every time I go to iTunes to sync my contacts it says my contacts are automatically synced over iCloud, which isn't a problem for me, except it doesn't work... I've checked my iCloud settings. My contacts from all my accounts are supposed to be synced, and yet I am missing about 70 contacts from my Mac contacts. I also tried to turn off Contact sync, and then see no way to manually sync my contacts.
    I use both my mac and phone to message people frequently, and its irritating and confusing when I have no idea who I am messaging on my Mac. Does anyone know where I need to start to fix this problem?

    Hello samaras,
    if you turned on iCloud Contacts Sync, then you shouldn't use iTunes for syncing your contacts between your devices.
    Please make sure that your (the same) iCloud account is set up on all your devices:
    iOS: Settings > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    BTW: Make sure that you saved your contacts in the iCloud section of your address book and not only locally.
    For more information regarding setting up iCloud on your devices please see also the following website: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • 'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

    when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
    is it possible to either:
    a) synchronise these
    b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
    c) solve this problem in another way?
    the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

    I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
    A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
    (Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
    Hope i helped someone
    1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
    2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
    3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

  • IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

  • Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

    We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
    Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
    Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
    Click the "Info" tab
    In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
    Click "All Contacts"
    Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
    Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
    This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
    Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
    I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

    If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found.  Personally I do not use this.  I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
    Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary.  You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

  • HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

    I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
    What should I do?

    What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
    Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

  • Contacts are not syncing from Mac to iPhone

    iCloud Contacts are not syncing if created on my macbook. But if created on iOS they sync.  Have no clue on this one.

    It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
    On MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". I have figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCould" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices.
    Unfortunately, when I add contacts through Mail (my usual procedure), they are only added to the "On My Mac" set. I can find no way to have them automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set.
    Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusivly? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.
