Sync ok but outlook 2003 contacts filed by first name

I have a Treo 600 smartphone using the palm os and just bought BB Rim curve 8310. The sync went fine but all my contacts are filed by first name which is unacceptable. The "file as field" in outlook does not come up in the advanced sync choices. Please tell me how to change this. Many thanks.

Sync Problem with Outlook 2003 Contacts

I had to replace the C: drive on my computer. I backed up all user files and settings prior to the disk replacement and restored them following the replacement. Prior to the disk replacement I had been syncing my contacts from Outlook 2003 with no problem. For reasons unknown to me the the sync process does not transfer any new additions in Outlook. It appears as though the sync process is finding an old source of data for the contact list. I have reset my iPod with no success in solving the problem. Is there any way to identify the file containg the contact sync data and either removing or resetting its' contents?

This problem doesn't lie inside of Outlook. (don't worry, there are plenty of other problems inside OutofLuck) You can set the Tools->Options->Other->Make Outlook the default.... but....
The real problem is they were lazy and used the Internet Options to determine the program that is the mail client. (Start->Control Panel->Internet Options->Programs) If you set the E-mail in there to the email program that you are actually using and not Outlook....ITunes/Outlook will have a hissy fit when you attempt to sync. (that's a technical term )
You have to set Outlook as the E-Mail program inside of Internet Options to get the sync to work properly.
(The real solution is to get them to let us designate the program INSIDE of Itunes rather than use the Internet Options setting.)
I email out of Adobe Acrobat all the time so I have to switch my email client in Internet Options to be Outlook when I sync and then back to my real mail program when I email. Stupid? Yes. Frustrating? Yes. Works? Yes. <sigh>

IPhone 4 to Outlook 2003 contact sync

I've read several threads about this and am more confused than ever. I am trying to get a two sync of my outlook 2003 contacts and my iPhone 4. My os is XP I'd appreciate a nice concise directive on how to do the sync. Thanks

I got home and tried it, you're right, I was able to get it to sync .. My iPhone to Outlook now..I can't seem to delete a contact in Outlook and have it come back to my iPhone..what's the trick to that? thanks for all your help!

My Outlook 2003 contacts and my calendar will not sync in either direction.

After updating my iPhone & iTunes software to the latest version my phone will only sync my Outlook 2003 contacts from the phone to my computer and my calendar will not sync in either direction. Can anyone help? It was all working perfectly before the update!

Unchecking the birthdays option definitely knocked something loose - but iTunes still had old stuff listed.
I had good results with removing everything from the ~/Library/Calendars folder and emptying the trash (with iTunes & iCal) both exited. I started iCal and it was back to the default - as if I had never used it - but then for reasons I'm not totally sure of, everything showed back up. My subscriptions all reappeared and I had calendars of the same name as my subscriptions appear in the regular section. I deleted all those and then quit & restarted iCal. When I started iTunes, everything was perfect - now everything appears normally and everything syncs.
As always, YMMV.
Good luck!

How can I sync outlook 2003 contacts and calendars to icloud?

I know there is a tool for Outlook 2007 and later, but are there any solutions planned for Outlook 2003??
I am not on an Exchange server.

You are not alone - it took me two weeks to work out why I could no longer sync my ihpone to my PC and realised it was because Outlook 2003 is not supported. Outlook 2010 will cost me c£100 - I've already spend a fortune on my iphone and new ipad - why on earth do I have to buy a piece of software I do not need in order to be able to sync my calendar wirelessly? It is incredibly annoying. I have tried to sync Outlook 2003 with Google Calendar first - but it just hangs.
You do need new software, yours won't work, a fact that was available to you when you chose iCloud.

Can i sync outlook 2003 contacts to the iphone 4s

In iTunes (with phone plugged in) go to the Info tab and check Sync Contacts with Outlook.
I am not sure about memos and tasks.

N70 and Outlook 2003 Contacts Synchronisation

I have the latest version of PC Suite (6.81.13.0) and have it set up to synchronise my Outlook 2003 Contacts, Calendar, and Notes in both directions between my new N70 and the PC, via a USB cable. I'm not in a position to try bluetooth yet. During the synchronisation, the Notes are read both ways and PC Suite seems to 'read' the Contacts and makes an attempt to write them from the PC to the phone (there are currently no Contacts on the phone as it's new), but then the Sync process aborts and I get 2 warning messages on PC Suite saying: "PC Sync could not update the data to the mobile phone." "PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisation." I have also tried the process between my laptop and the phone using the same version of PC suite and the same thing happened. I manually entered a contact in the phone to see if it would be transferred to my Outlook Contacts on the PC and this worked fine. I can't update the Contacts through the phone broswer either - nothing happens. Everything seems to be set up ok, but the process aborts, giving the warning messages. Has anyone encountered the same problem, or can anyone suggest any solutions please? Thanks, Stephen

Since the phone is empty, you could try to reset to factory settings the phone by *#7370#. There is a risk that you loose your pictures and other data from phone, so make sure you make a backup to memory card or move manually all relevant data to PC first (if exists in phone)

How to import outlook 2003 contacts to thunderbird

What is the easiest method to import the outlook 2003 contacts (adresbook) to Thunderbird which is installed on Ubuntu. (Windows XP + Ubuntu 14.04 installed on same computer)
I'm a bit surprised that even today, this somehow seems to remain kind of a problem. Articles are pointing to complicated procedures, implicating various other programs which should helping in resolving what should be a simple import of the oulook.pst files.
Outlook can export to various type of files. Which format could Thunderbird itself use to import "directly" with some chance of succes ?
I trust that Mozilla is aware of it that it still is a point of concern to users.
Focussing on migration is the first priority after installation.
I found a very good Dutch article about installation
http://support.mozilla.org/nl/kb/thunderbird-installeren-linux.
But about importing from Oulook (2003 or other) , I wasn't able to find some straigthforward guidance for a "easy" and simple import operation, probably because there still isn't one yet.
Thank you.

My point is to draw attention of Mozilla to the fact that the more users find it easy to import from Windows, the better there is a chance to switch towards open source.
Yesterday I imported from Outlook 2003 (on my wife's PC) her address book into Thunderbird last version (with Ubuntu 14.04, also last version). I can assure you that it was NOT a piece of cake !
It took quite a time to adjust on data selection and organizing fields. Is that Microsoft fault ? I'm not so sure.
I agree on Microsoft's wrong attitudes, and therefore always was a Linux follower, hoping that open source would become better and more userfriendly than Windows.
My attitude towards open source is to give it confidence to become even better. So I'll never give up, but there still is much work to do. Ubuntu has improved quite a lot, at each new release. Still it runs slower than XP on my old machine.
And neither of both burned Mint installation CD's would not even run.

I use iCloud to store my contacts but in Outlook it only sorts by first name. Although in iCloud it can be set to sort by last name, I cannot get it to do that in Outlook.

Just switched from Samsung Epic to iPhone 4s. Contacts were filed by first name, which I prefer. But on the iPhone it's by last name. Is there a way to change that?

What I found: Go into SETTINGS - Click onto "MAIL,CONTACTS, CALENDARS" then scroll down to CONTACTS and you will see SORT ORDER and DISPLAY ORDER you can change it to first, last or last, first..
Hope that helps.

Iphone4s; Contacts : I want to order my contacts through their first name

Good Day ! I just wanna ask if there is a possibility that i could sort my contacts through their first name because on my iphone (3Gs) it is possible.
Example : John Smith
Steve Jobbs
-What I actually would like to happen is that the name "John" will come first before "Steve" but in Iphone 4/4s, the order will be "Steve Jobbs" then "John Smith" because of their last name.
I've tried the solution, Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars -> Contacts (then Sort and Display Order)
But the thing that I want still haven't solved. Is there any way that I could work this out?
I hope someone could help me/us solve this. Thank you ! Godbless.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, the only way to sort/display contacts on your phone is through those settings.

ITunes crashes / errors out when attempting to get Outlook 2003 contacts

OS: XP Pro SP2
APPS: Office Pro 2003 SP2, iTunes v.6.0.4.2
Hardware: iPod Nano 2GB
Problem: When I sync my ipod nano, iTunes opens, the music syncs and then I get an error:
“iTunes cannot copy contacts to the iPod ‘my name’”
Probable Cause: I installed from MSN Premium something called “Outlook Connector” I was going to use to synch my MSN Hotmail & my Outlook contacts. I believe it was after this install when I began having trouble with synching my contacts between my iPod Nano and Outlook 2003 SP2 for windows.
Solutions I have tried:
- Repaired Outlook using “Detect & Repair” as well as scanpst.exe
- Cleaned the registry
- Restored an older backup PST Outlook file
- Talked with MSN support who referred my to iTunes support
- Purchased Apple Care program (or something)
- Update iPod (wasn’t needed)
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled iTunes
- Scoured google, these forums, newsbin, ms kb, etc…
- The last thing I will do is to restore my whole hard drive to an time when my ipod did synch fine
Please help if you can. I really think this has to do with that MSN Outlook Connector, but I have removed all known traces of it. I wanted to make sure I to get an answer and posted this in both the nano as well as itunes for Windows forums, my apologies if that’s taboo.
Thank you in advance for any assistance, even if someone can point me to more resources.
Paul

I fixed this, YES!
For those who it may help, I went into:
Outlook 2003 > Tools > Address Book
From there I saw theat Outlook Connector (or soemething) created a new address book for my MSN/Hotmail and made that address book the default one.
I simly made my old one the default and ipod now synchs with the Outlook contacts.

Unable to Sync iphone with outlook 2003

hi
I have two PCs - one at home and one at office. The PC at home went perfectly (outlook 2007).
I could not sync the contacts and calendars in the outlook 2003 in my office PC with iphone (via itune). I got the error message that "either there is no default mail clinet or mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please turn your outlook as default mail client" but I checked and the outlook was set as default mail client. Pls help
Not sure because the office PC oputlook mail is atatched to the office outlook exchange mail server (while my home PV is attached normal ISP)

I have been having a problem syncing my contacts from outlook 2003 to the iPhone since upgrading to firmware 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6.
My solution was to exit outlook completely, then run task manager and terminate any outlook tasks that are hanging around. Then (one time only) copy contacts to the iphone by clicking the appropriate box in iTunes. After that it's been syncing normally (as long as no outlook tasks are running).

Can't sync calendar from outlook 2003 to iphone

just purchased iphone and calendar won't sync. Help?

Don't worry about taking up my time. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be here on the computer trying to help. You are talking about a contacts folder in Outlook 2003? The address book is when you click on sending a new mail and then click on the To: Am I correct? I think you should try and export your pst file and then try opening the new file in Outlook and see if that will correct things. You might need to go to the Microsoft site to get help in how to import the file. I am using Outlook 2010 and cannot remember the exact commands that would help you. I cannot remember if it is under Tools or somewhere else for you to export the file. It could be under File, then Export if 2003. After you save that file, then go to file and open, and then navigate to the new file and see if that opens a new Outlook pst file for you. You can then try and sync with the new one and see if that works. I hope that helps, but trying to remember all of the commands can be difficult. I teach Microsoft Office and having to remember all of the new ones can be difficult enough!
