  • Blackberry desktop manager 5.0 won't sync windows address book/mail

    Hi,
    before I upgrade my laptop to win7 64 bit with DM 5.0, I had Vista 64 bit with DM 5.0 and I was able to sync windows address book.
    Now on my win7, I can't select it anymore. I install the same software what I use on vista to win7. I use a blackberry tour, OS 4.7.
    Like the picture see here : http://images.crackberry.com/files/u7860/Outlook_Sync_Selection.jpg
    you can see that you can select windows address book/mail.
    I try on win7, to install the latest DM, but still can't check windows address book/mail. I uninstall it, reinstall DM 5.0, also no luck. I remove intelisync, try again, still no luck.
    Any idea how to get the it to sync with windows address book/mail ?
    Thanks

    So, since it is a selection (from your image), what happens when you select it?

  • Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?

    I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well).  I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution.  So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer.  Here is what I am working with:
    A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
    An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
    An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
    A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
    So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked.  I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts.  Should be easy right?  Not so much.  I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced.  I go to WAB and the contact list is there.  However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in.  If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields.  Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer.  HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
    So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information??  I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job).  If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer.  I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help!   Advice?  Solutions?  I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...?  Help, please! ;-)
    BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
    I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?)  I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content.  I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop.  The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears.  But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop.  Is that really too much to ask apple??? 

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • PC Companion 2.01, How to sync outlook contacts instead of windows address book

    After the first installation of PC Companion the program uses the outlook contacts database to sync my phone. There was no problem.
    After some weeks the program uses the windows phone book (wab-file) of outlook express instead of the original outlook 2000 contacts database.
    The picture (image1) shows the sync target on my system: In this case the program uses the windows address book instead of the outlook.
    I am sure, some weeks ago, I have seen the outlook icon on this place. In the meantime I have installed the media go extensions.
    In the settings I can only select windows address book.
    In advanced settings of pc companion only outlook express (windows address book) is available.
    How can I configure or hack the program to use outlook 2000 contacts database again?
    Is there any registry key or settings file?
    Uninstall an new install does not help.

    Sony Cedar, PC Companion 2.01 on Windows NT Professional, Outlook 2000

  • Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

    I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

    As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
    If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

  • Do I want to sync with Outlook or Windows address book?

    I currently have all of my contacts in outlook, but I never use outlook at all.
    Is there anything in iTunes that allows you to save and sync your contacts?
    Or do you always have to use outlook?
    Whats this Windows address book?
    Perhaps that might work better for me since I am not going to be using outlook?

    With Windows, the supported applications for syncing contact information is Outlook 2003 or 2007, or the Windows Address Book or Windows Contacts - which is the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, and with Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    Is there anything in iTunes that allows you to save and sync your contacts?
    iTunes serves as the conduit only for syncing contact information between your iPhone and the supported application on your computer.

  • How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

    How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

    Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all?  If so, then they are gone.
    IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

  • ITunes not seeing Windows Address Book or Outlook 2003

    When I try to sync my iPhone, it syncs the music, videos, etc, but under the Info tab in iTunes it doesn't show me any options to sync my contacts with, nor bookmarks, nor calendar, etc. I have Outlook 2003 with all the proper iTunes add-ins activated as well as Windows Address Book, but iTunes simply doesn't seem to see that I have these programs installed on my computer and that I can sync my iPhone with them! Anyone else has similar problems?

    Yep,
    the first time I got sync probs, I also researched with the root cause is syncing. I tried just everything. It turned out, that address book is just not handling the contacts with all their data entries very well. .MAC, the iPod and the address book itself have all different capabilities to work with the extremly flexible way the contacts are saved. It basicly just works good if you have typed every contact manually into the address book or if they where imported with a very basic set of parameters (e.g. just name and address). Once they are imported from a different software and every contact has a full set of data, Apples address book is overstrained immediatly. And nothing improved thru years. I am starving for a third party application which integrates as good as Apple address book and is working as it is promising to.
    When I just started with Mac, the address book probs almost made me resell my first MAC and get back to Linux or whatever.

  • I lost my contact list while sychnorizing with windows address book

    I have a 3g iphone. 2 days ago i wanted to sychnorize my contact list in my iphone to my desktop computer. So i opened itunes in my desktop and plugged in my iphone. Then i selected iphone from the left menu and in the info segment there is the contact sychnorizing, i opened it and selected all my contacts and windows address book. And then made the sychnorizing. After that i opened windows address book but it was empty, my contacts from the iphone has not come. After a while i realized that also my contact list on my iphone has gone. I have no backup of my contact list. I don't use iclouds. It backups on my desktop and i missed the chance to restore from backup after this mistake because i did sychnorizing after the mistake and it took backup on that one too. As itunes just holds the lastest backup. It would not include my contact list. So i restored the iphone to factory settings. But it didn't work either. Can u help me? All my contact list has gone.
    Another question is i have the ios 4.2.1 running on my iphone and it made the phone very very slow for the past 1 year and i decided to restore it to the factory settings that maybe the operating system will return to the first one. This is the reason for my try to sychnorize my contacts to itunes on my computer before restoring it to factory settings.
    Thank you,

  • New contacts don't import to Windows Address Book groups

    I'm using Windows Address Book(WAB) as my contacts list on my laptop when I sync with the iPhone. I use WAB because it uses Groups and iPhone accepts it.
    Today I was browsing through one of my groups on the iPhone and added a new contact, while I was still in the group (Business). I just synced my iPhone and the contact didn't download onto my laptop! Its still on my iPhone and it shows up both in "Business" as well as "All Contacts", but its nowhere to be found on my computer after the sync.
    The first time I synced the iPhone, it was with my everyday settings: under Info -> Contacts -> All Contacts is checked.
    I tried syncing a second time; however, instead of checking "All Contacts", I selected each group individually such that I'm syncing all my contacts. And this time it worked! I was able to import the new contact into WAB.
    Weird! Any ideas why it would sync properly with method 2 but not with method 1?

    BigT,
    Contacts created on the iPhone should sync back to WAB using either method (using all contacts or selected groups). One feature that using "selected groups" provides is it lets you specify what group to sync contacts created on the iPhone back into in WAB.
    If you notice this happening again, you may want to reset your Sync History. To reset sync history:
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
    3. Click the iPhone tab.
    4. Click the Reset Sync History button.
    Hope this helps,

  • 3G IPod nano won't sync with Address Book and iCal

    I connected my new 3G iPod nano (4GB) to USB2.0 port of aluminum keyboard on new 20" aluminum iMac. MP3 song files (total 623) transferred without problem, but whenever I tried to enable syncing of Address Book and iCal under Contacts tab in iTunes 7.4.1 window, error message popped up stated that there are no contacts in Address Book when there are actually 57 contacts already in Address Book. Creating new contacts in Address Book and recreating address book and iTunes library files in user's library folder did not help at all. The syncing of Address Book only work under new user account in Mac OS 10.4.10 (with all Apple updates applied). May I know what have gone wrong with my account ?
    I have wasted one hour with call routed to hopeless Apple support center in India. They only want you to keep reseting everything until it work so that they can put the blame on you.

    I have had same problem since I got my nano 2 months ago. At least with latest firmware update, when you DO see Contacts they contain their complete Notes! I have tried using iTunes sync to sync my full AddressBook with 900 entries, but this routinely failed to load any more than 600 entries with message saying so. Calendar has been even more problematic until I created a sub-view of my full calendar with just the prior 1 month and future 2 months event entries; then at least I could see the Calendar - but NEVER after immediately a sync, only after i reset the Nano. And finally I have used iPDA (ZappTek) to transfer News, RSS feeds, Weather updates for cities, & selected Documents and these too transfer completely (as inspection of the iPod as Disk shows), but needs a full reset to get them to show. Even then when you first highlight the "Notes" menu option you see it display "No Notes" but then when you click/select it, it starts "Loading them with a counter: sometimes the count is complete, sometimes it "aborts" and then you can only see some of the notes you loaded. I view this as a bug. I believe that the Nano is indexing these entries and either completes it or aborts, for an unknown "bug" reason. The ZappTek developer suggested there is a definite RAM (not storage) limitation in the Nano which prevents the Nano from handling very large sets of entries, but I should think a software update might be able to fix this by not trying to load everything at once.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot sync my Address Book to Contacts

    I cannot sync my Address Book to my .Mac. I always get this message
    "Invalid response received from .Mac. Could not complete synchronization - please try again later". My password and account info is correct and I have followed the instructions for sycing with .mac account...Please help!

    Thank you again for your help.  I probably was not as clear in my answer as I should have been.  I did follow the instructions in the linked article, even though it was for the iPhone.  Since I do not have a Windows Hotmail account, I could not use that guidance.  I will just type in the addresses I need as I need them when using the iPad device.  It would be much simpler if I could have just synced them directly to the device.
    Thank you.

  • How to backup my iPhone 4 Contacts to PC Windows Address Book

    I need help backing up my iPhone 4 Contacts on to my PC Windows Address Book

    An alternate solution is to add windows address book to your web mail accounts. You can also add your iPhone to the web mail accounts and they will talk to each other over the cloud. If you visit your webmail accounts and see if the IMAP protocol is activated it will be able to sync to Windows address book and the iPhone when ever they are activated.
    This will also enable you to even view your webmail accounts with all your information stored on the cloud at your webmail service.
