Synching 6100 with Outlook Contacts creates corrup...

Hi,
I've synched my 6100 with Microsoft Outlook Contacts folder (on Win XP machine), using 2-way synch.
However, the synchronized records - both in the phone and in Outlook - were showing as a series of ? signs (e.g., "???? ??????"). I had to laboriously delete them all.
Can someone help?
Many thanks,
Rit

There are two options that I know of.
First, you can try bluetooth syncing so you don't have to plug the BB in http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04132&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Second, and the one I use, is the Google Desktop sync. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955 This will only sync calendar; not contacts. I sync 1-way from my Outlook to Google Calendar then use the normal Google Sync to get it all on my Blackberry.

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook with duplicate contacts. Is there a solution. Is there selective synchronisation available?

Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook. If you do, delete them.
If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again. (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes.

Merging Sim card contact list from old phone with Outlook contact list

iPhone synched with Outlook Contacts during iTunes activation, subsequently transferred old phone contact list from SIM card to iPhone. I want to merge the two files, but synching operation tells me that transferred items will replace existing Outlook Contact list. Not what I want - - How can I merge the two files?

I don't use Windows but the following states that it will sync contacts with Outlook on Windows 8 via iCloud. You will need to go to Settings > iCloud on the phone at turn Contacts on and also download the iCoud control panel to your computer as described in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html

Tell iCloud what to sync.
Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer? Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

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.

Extracting files from Portfolio - problem with outlook email created portfolios

Currently I have developed a plugin that can extract files from portfolios using:-
PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles"));
and
PDFileAttachmentFromCosObj
But i've noticed with Outlook email created portfolios the above is PDNameTree invalid. any suggestions? is it under another atom string or something?
Thanks,
Lee.

ok, found something out here... if I close the doc using AVDocClose then re-open in the code using PDDocOpen then the PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles")); works!!!
but now I have a problem getting the original pdf open filename.
usually can get it with below code but it's returning the Folder path + garbage instead. (this only happens with portfolios created by outlook that I have tested)
There must be a better way of doing this, any ideas? thanks, lee.
ASFile asFile = PDDocGetFile(pdDoc);
ASPathName asPathName = ASFileAcquirePathName(asFile);
char* temp = ASFileSysDIPathFromPath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), asPathName, NULL);

HT1349 why is iphone 4s cannot 2 way sync with outlook contacts??

why cannot iphone 4s 2way sync with outlook contacts? it says we have to use google calendar, i could not manage it but why we should pay so much money and have to sync pc and iphone contacts manualy..

The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

Duplicate contacts after synching iPhone with Outlook

After I synched my new iPhone with my Outlook contacts there are many I do not need/want on my phone. Is there an easy way to edit all these on-line somewhere...rather than going thru each contact on my iPhone?

Synchronizing Address Book with Outlook Contacts

Help please! My 8120 Pearl will not synch with changes to my Outlook Contacts. It seems to pick up a copy of my Contacts from a few months back each time I synch. Even if I clear my device address book from the device manager (backup and restore) and then re-synch it still doesn't pick up my up-to-date Contacts. Any advice please (for a not-very-savvy user)? Thanks.

I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

Synching Microsoft Exchange/Outlook contacts from iPhone to Mac or PC

At work, my wife's iPhone was synched through Microsoft Exchange Server to Outlook on a PC network. Now, we have no access to that server, but all the contacts are still living on the iPhone (under a separate email account. If that email account is deleted the contacts are deleted as well). There MUST be a way to synch those contacts back to either the Mac Address Book OR her laptop PC, right? I have researched everywhere and cannot find an answer. We have tried many times to synch the phone to both Mac and PC through iTunes with "Sync Contacts" checked, but no luck. They remain on the phone, but do not move over. I have also tried opening the SQLitedb file from the backup, but it is very cryptic, with different filed split among different databases. Any help saving her 1200 contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I tried idrive lite and its pretty good. I was able to backup all of my contacts to the online site. The only problem is that they only provide the option to restore the contacts to another mobile device. Not to another computer. Its still better than nothing but I would still prefer to be able to transfer the contacts to my home computer so that I have the same contact list in my personal outlook on my home computer. I tried exporting the contacts from my work computer but my company uses outlook 2003 and at home I use outlook 2007 which wont recognize the pst files from the 2003 version. Also, outlook won't export export vcard or vsc files. It only provides the option to inport them. So far idrive lite is the best solution I've found but if anyone else has any suggestions I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks.

My iphone won't sync with Outlook contacts or calendar anymore. Any idea how to do this now?

I used to be able to sync my iphone contacts and calendar entries (home calendar) with outlook and now it won't work. How can I fix this?

Does iTunes Show an error message?
How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

How do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

how do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

Sync with Outlook contacts.

Hi everybody.
I have trouble whith syncchronizing my iPhone (3GS, 3.1.3) with my contact list on my computer (W7 Integral/Outlook 2007). When a contact is modified on my iPhone (added number for a contact for instance), it is not updated on my computer. The same happens when the contact is modified on my computer.
Can one tell me how to fix this.
Thanks a lot.

I reset the sync history and still can't get contacts or calendar to sync. A friend says that he has also been unable to sync ever since the latest OS was downloaded.
Anything else that I can try? Is there a fix "in the works" for this problem?

Error while synching nano with outlook

I use windows xp with outlook 2003.
I always get an unknown error (-50) whenever i try to sync my nano to my outlook. I am a first time ipod user, so i do not know what could be causing such an error.
Can anybody help? It would be reallu helpful if i do not ned to chug my pda along everywhere.

This is the First Apple product I have ever bought. Just bought the new Nano today. I too got the -50 error when trying to sync calendar from outlook 2003. Called 1-800-apl-care (1-800-275-2273) after along time on wait list I finally got to talk to a live person who was trying to help. I was put on hold while they were looking for the answer after several minutes I was disconnected. I called back, after a long wait I was connected to a new rep which was able to retrieve the previous info so I did not have to start from scratch (a plus in my book). They were unable to resolve the issue so they connected the case to a "Product Specialist" Ryan, they said sync was not covered by tech support. The phone rep still tried several things on his own to try to help me, to no avail. (TY for trying) No one at Apple that I talked to was able to tell what the -50 error meant. Cut and Paste from Apple Nano website "Good thing iPod nano lets you take your calendar and contacts with you. With support for Address Book and iCal on the Mac and Outlook or Outlook Express on the PC, plus industry-standard vCalendar and vCard files, iTunes syncs your calendars and contacts so you can access everything with a quick spin of the Click Wheel." So much for my first Apple purchase.
