Synchronisation with Outlook

I have just synchronised my 6120 with MS Outlook, and copied several hundred contact details. However, the way in which Outlook treats international dialling codes seems incompatible with my phone, and I now have several hundred unusable phone numbers on my device. For example, a number which appears in Outlook as +44 (020) 8xxx xxxx transfers appears on the phone exactly the same, but it dials as +440208xxxxxxx, which is a non-number.
I need to dial the first zero if calling from within Englland; if calling from another country, I need to replace it with +44. Is there any way, short of manually editing each number, that I can effectively synchronise Outlook with my phone?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes; I managed to do it. I exported the whole file to Excel, removed all the brackets and leading 0s, and reimported it to Outlook. I was then able to synch successfully with my phone. Now, if anyone could write a short macro to do this automatically, it would be simple.
But when I imported the data back into Outlook, all of the dialung codes had become part of the main number. It's just as well I don't dial directly from Outlook (does anyone?), and I will have to stop it from automatically formatting numbers according to its own perverse standard.
But success, anyway.

  • How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to when synchronising with outlook

    I´ve switched to iphone 4S from my 3Gs and would like to "clean" my itunes Sync before I use the new phone. Problem is, that the synchronisation with Outlook 2003 doesn´t work anymore. I guess the reason is that itunes refers to an old .ost or .pst file on my computer. I ve got several outlook profiles and changed from exchange to pop3. My question: How can I find out which .pst or .ost file itunes referres to?
    Thanks a lot in advance :-)

    Select the tune and then - Get Info - in the dialog box is a note of the Apple ID used to purchase.

  • N95 8GB synchronisation with Outlook 2007

    Cannot get N95 to synchronise with Outlook 2007 Calendar. Do I need new software download? Is it available?

    no u donot require any additional software. This can be done using PC Suite with no additional software.
    Go to PC Suite, start Synchronize. In Synchronize (Nokia PC Sync), goto Settings. In Settings, under the General tab, click on Advanced. Under "Automatic Synchronization", select either synchronize everytime I connect my mobile or Sychronize periodically and select 15min/30min/hourly. Check the checkbox "Launch Nokia PC Sync automatically on Startup"
    Click OK and voila...auto syncing of calendar and contacts with Outlook.

  • Could KM's documents be synchronised with Outlook or a local directory

    Dear Experts,
    I wonder if KM's documents could be synchronised with Outlook or a local directory. My customer found it very important and I know that Sharepoint synchronises with Outlook.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Still have problems:
    When I tried to connect
    -http://<server name>:50000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Public%20Documents/
    Here is the error message:
    -Server says: Not found (status code 404)
    When I tried to access the directory in IE.
    - It shows :
    The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
    You can try one of the following:
    Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
    Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
    When I click on "Web folder". It doesn't work. However, Navigation user interface shows the right contents
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Request recommendations for a smartphone that has easy synchronisation with outlook - contacts, calender & notes.

    Im in the market for a new phone since my HTC Touch HD is rather an ancient 6+years old. My main goal in a smartphone is being able to integrate with my microsoft outlook info - calender and notes inparticular. However frankly in reading reviews &
    researching current smart phones, I get the impression I am not going improve my current experience on a 6 year old phone by upgrading! Im not convinced that its really going to be an upgrade afterall!!
    I don't want to have all my info going via a cloud either. For this reason I thought a windows phone would be preferable.
    Is there a smartphone system where I can synchronise with microsoft outlook (including notes) locally? (ie:not having to be online with my info going via a third party platform in the cloud?
    How can something that works so well on a 2008 phone be so difficult to find in 2014?
    What current models of phones (even from the last 1-2 years- I can buy second hand if needed) do you recommend? 

    First let you know that we are the technical support and not the mobile sellers, the following suggestion is only for your reference:)
    "I don't want to have all my info going via a cloud either. For this reason I thought a windows phone would be preferable. "
    - That's a good choice, but to be honest, the mail system for all of smartphone system, including WindowsPhone, Android, iOS, is similar in Consumer level. For user, we just purchase the good performance (depend on hardware) and pretty look device.
    "Is there a smartphone system where I can synchronise with microsoft outlook (including notes) locally?"
    It depends on your current using email account type and the protocal that mobile app supports. As far as I know, all smartphone system only supports ActiveSync and notes aren't supported by ActiveSync so far. Message, Calendar, Contacts and task is ok.
    "How can something that works so well on a 2008 phone be so difficult to find in 2014?"
    Simple word is faster and more function.
    "What current models of phones (even from the last 1-2 years- I can buy second hand if needed) do you recommend?"
    For this quesion, you can focus on the official website like Windows mobile, iPhone, etc... here I would prefer to Nokia Lumia series

  • Calendar synchronisation with Outlook 2013 doesn't work

    Hello,
    I recently installed Outlook 2013 on my new Windows 8.1 notebook and would now like to synchronize my calender and contacts with my iPhone 5.
    For the contacts everything works fine, but the calender just doesn't synchronize properly. The events from my Outlook calender are taken to my phone, but all the calenders from my phone won't appear in Outlook.
    Furthermore, everytime I try to synchronize the calendars all reminders for the events, as well as all recurring events are deleted on my iPhone, which is VERY annoying.
    Does anybody have an idea where's the problem? Are there some configurations I have to do in Outlook?
    I'm using the most current version of iTunes (12.0.1)
    Thanks!
    Marcus

    On your iPhone, verify that the iCloud calendar is the default for new entries (Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar)

  • N95 won't synchronise with outlook - "Waiting for ...

    Just set up my N95. PC Suite seems to have installed ok, connectivity seems to be ok - at least, I can copy files across, but when I try and synchronise I get the message "waiting for N95". I've cleared and reset my settings as per advice in an earlier post, made sure the settings are pointing to the right files and tried it all again. Still no synchronisation. What do I need to do?

  • ICloud working with Outlook for Mac 2011

    For work purposes I use a Mac Air, with Outlook for Mac 2011, and my company's email runs on an Outlook server.  I'm not going to have any choice about using Outlook.
    I've set up my home calendar (on iMac) and want to use iCloud to synchronise between my various devices.
    My iPhone can show both my work calendar and my home calendar. But on the Mac where i am running Outlook for Mac i dont seem to be able to add the second calendar.
    Looking at older discussions (2011, 2012) it seems there were ways to use iCloud and synchronise with Outlook on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac using Outlook.  Is that still the case or is there a way I can now do this? 

    Microsoft have still not updated Outlook for Mac to support the cross-platform, industry-standard calendar and contact protocols iCloud (and many other similar services) use.
    You won't be able to use iCloud with Outlook for Mac, except for email.
    Read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    There's nothing to stop you using the Apple calendar and contact apps for your personal iCloud data, and Outlook for your work data though. Or you could just setup your work accounts in the Apple apps, which do support Microsoft Exchange.

  • Nokia X2: Calendar and contacts sync with outlook....

    hey there
    i have a nokia x2 and i got myself a new outlook.com account just in order to finally have my emails, my contacts and my calendar synch using the outlook.com app.
    1 email synchronisation works fine
    2 contacts sync seem not to be possible.
     - contacts can be edited only on outlook.com, but not via app. could you confirm this? I wonder why and if an update will solve this issue. what am i supposed to do in order to synch my contacts if i add a new contact or email or whatever on my nokia x2? add it manually to the outlook.com adress buch? this is not feasable!
    - besides the birthday is not displayed on nokia x2 alltough being present on the database of nokia x2 (i can export it with the contact using the export function)
    3 calendar synch works only from outlook.com to nokia x2. if i add a new event on nokia x2, this one event doesn't get sync on outlook.com. any idea what goes wrong or what i am supposed to do to fix this?
    nokia/microsoft colleagues please help, i am using only your stuff, it cannot be that it does't work even when using ONLY microsoft programs
    thx

    Little update
    2 calendar --> there is a workaround that makes calendar synch working (using exchange account and also outlook.com app). if you turn off the local calendar and  if you edit directly the exchange calendar, it works (create, edit and delete).  synch between local und exchange calendar doesn't work, no way.
    2 contacts: no workaround
     - using outlook.com app you can't edit contacts and birthdays don't get displayed
    - using exchange server you can edit the contacts locally bur all changes doesn't get synchronised with outlook.com. birthdays are displayed.
    - new problem: contact groups don't get synchronised in any direction!!
    microsoft / nokia people kindly help..

  • Do Contact's Instant Messenger addresses sync with Outlook?

    My Outlook contacts have the IM Address field defined, however it doesn't sync that field with the Instant Messenger fields of the iPhone's Contact record.
    If I add an IM address to a contact on the iPhone, and sync back to a PC through iTunes, does it store that IM Address somewhere in the Outlook record? If so, where?

  • Pearl 8120 - failing syncronisa​tion with Outlook...

    Hello,
    Since a few days I have my new BB 8120, unfortunately I can’t set up the mobile…especially with the first synchronisation and my otlook data like adresses and meetings.
    Each time DM wants to connect with the internet.  I should verify my internet connection for synchronisation setting.... But I am in the net and DM recognises my device. Unfortunately just the synchronisation with outlook doesn't work....
    I am using an DM 4.7 (no automatic update),  USB cable and PC with  XP. Actually I haven’t installed any firewall or antivir to allow a synchronisation, moreover I tried DM 5.0 and other PC's... It's always the same ....
    I need the synchronisation for the sync with my outlook data’s, the most important feature for me!
    Does anybody you have an idea! Would really great, if you could help me….

  • Failing to sync 9500 with outlook 2003 using PC Sy...

    I have just updated to PC Sync 6.82.22.0
    Synchronising with Outlook 2003 with the previous version was fine except for inability to synchronise some contacts, appointments and tasks (apparently at random) to the phone with only the message SyncML failed to synchronise the following entries to Client, or something to that effect.
    Now I can't synchronise at all since I get the message:
    'The synchroniser is unable to load the interface (Nokia.PCSync.OUTLOOK.|SynchAppU) required to support synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook. Please reinstall Nokia PC Suite.'
    I have reinstalled twice and I still get the same error. Is there a solution or should I just rush out and buy an i-mate?

    The logs are now attached.
    The file Regmon.log is rather lenghty (13878 lines) while Filemon.log has 4994 lines. The file Regmon.log is attached in two parts due to the size limitation for attachements.
