Vista Sync Contacts

Hello!
I'm using Vista and have some problems synchronizing the contacts. All contact is copied to C:\ root from phone. Isn't it possible to get them synched to ...Users\Contacts\ -folder and added as a Vista-contact?
The settings for PC Suite is to synch Vista Calendar and Contacts. I'm using cable and PC Suite 6.85.14.1.
Regards

You are not going to be able to sync to Windows Mail. Also you are not going to be able to sync email with palm desktop 6.2. Your only option of being able to sync email would be to get Palm desktop 4.1.4e and you have to sync to Outlook.

7.6, 1.1.3, Vista Ultimate - Contacts Not Syncing?

First, thank you to Apple for enabling iTunes and the iPhone under Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Did the installations last night without any problems, and most stuff seems to be working correctly.
But for some reason, Contact information is not syncing. I have "Sync Contacts with Outlook" and "All Contacts" checked. I've even tried the "Replace information on this iPhone" option. Even though the progress bar at the top goes to "Syncing contacts...", the contacts list on my iPhone remains empty.
Calendar sync with Outlook is working fine, it's only Contacts sync that's not working.
Anyone have any suggestions?

ATTENTION FELLOW IPHONE USERS / APPLE
I was having the EXACT same problem as the person who originally created this post... Downgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 absolutely fixed my Outlook > iTunes > iPhone sync issue.
FYI - This issue started right after my users upgraded to iPhone firmware 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6. There may be some issue with the latest version/update of iTunes.
<Just a CYA, backup all the files/directories that are to be deleted here. -- Use this info. at your own risk.... However, it worked great for me.>
Here is what I did:
#1) Under Windows Add remove software, completely remove: iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, & Apple Software Update. - DO NOT REMOVE ANY BOOT CAMP SOFTWARE.
#2) Reboot PC (or Mac running Boot Camp - running Windows)
#3) Under "C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Application Data\Apple Computer", remove any reference to iTunes/Quicktime.
#4) Under "C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Local Settings\Apple Computer", remove any reference to iTunes/Quicktime.
#5) Under "C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes ", rename: "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old"
#6) Under "C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes ", rename: "iTunes Music Library.xml" to "iTunes Music Library.old"
#7) Download iTunes 7.4.3.1 from: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes743forwindows.html
#8) Normally install iTunes 7.4.3.1.
#9) Once installed, Connect iPhone. GO under the "Info" tab under the iPhone device. Make sure that you have the setting to overwrite the Contacts and Calendars on the iPhone, under the advanced settings area. (remember, you will be overwriting any contacts/calendars that are NOT synced with the computer)
When you connect your iPhone you will need to totally re sync your Outlook Contacts and Calendars - FROM Outlook TO iPhone (overwrite). Also, you will need to rebuild/re index your iTunes library music.
This worked fine for me in my particular environment; however, if ANYONE has a quicker/easier way to resolve---possibly without downgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1, LET ME KNOW.
You might want to do setups 1 - 6, and just try reinstalling the latest iTunes. If this works for someone, please post.
Thanks

IPhone 3G cannot sync contacts/calendar with iTunes 7.7 in Vista

My environment:
Computer - PC
OS - Windows XP Pro SP2
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2003
Laptop Vaio FZ21M
OS - Windows Vista SP1
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2007
When I connect my iPhone 3G to the laptop, iTunes launch, but in Info tab I don't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. The only message that appears is "Your contacts are being pushed to your iPhone over the air from Microsoft Exchange"
On the other hand when I connect iPhone 3G to desktop with Windows XP SP2, I get the option to sync contacts with Outlook/Gmail Address Book/Yahoo Address Book, etc. Today I performed an update to iTunes, installing version 7.7.046 ,but the problem persists.
A collegue of mine has excactly the same problem, he is also using a laptop running Windows Vista SP1 , iTunes 7.7 but Outlook 2003 instead. When he connects iPhone 3G, he doesn't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. Email sync option is available.
Is there anything we can do?

I had the same problem with my 3G phone. I solved it as follows
1) Go to preferences in your address book and delete the iCloud. This will revert your address book to 'On My Mac'.
2) Turn off your iCloud account in system preferences.
3) Run iTunes, enable sync contacts and under advanced, replace information on this phone, enable contacts.
4) Press apply button and sync should begin. Itunes will now load your contact file into the phone.
5) Re-enable your iCloud account.

Sync contacts and calendar

I have a iPod 5th Gen Video and a iPod Touch. When I try to sync contacts and calendar it does not work. I get a message pop up saying "cannot sync calendar. Log out & log back in". I am using Windows Vista and the latest iTunes and Outlook 2003.
Now at work I use Win XP and Outlook 2003 and both iPods sync contacts and calendar from Outlook perfectly. So is this an issue with Vista?
Any help will be appreciated.

OVI Suite 3.0.0.284 : Cannot sync contacts

After my multitude of issues with the new N8, had to set up a router just for this device because it would crash my whole network, I decided to update to this version of OVI SUITE. Long story short, I lost capability to sync my contacts with Outlook 2010. It worked with the previous version, this one simply crashes. Sync's everything else but contacts. I said, there was a problem with the update process. I uninstalled the thing 10 times according to the guides here and no luck. Heck, I even formatted my laptop yesterday! Yeah, for New Year's whilsts I was waiting of guests I was formatting my laptop. Still no joy. Fresh OS, with fresh Outlook and brand new PST, does not sycn contacts. OVI Crashes!
Any solutions? Please don't say remove the software because I installed the damn thing on brand new OS and still crashes.

I reported this issue to Nokia Support, got a detailed answer. Have not tried the suggested things because I was able to sync contacts by doing uninstall of OVI Suit and reinstalling from OVI Suit download link at betlabs.nokia.com.
Here´s the official answer:

Can't Sync Contacts and Calendar -- Look Here

Ok, to quell the confusion on this issue let me fix the general errors with this so others here can see why this is caused and how to fix it.
First if you cannot sync contacts and calendar and only those two items check your hotsync log. And look for contacts and calendar if you do not see these items this means you have an exchange server setup on the device or did at one point. To fix this go into email(Versamail) and tap on your account name in the top left then go to accounts and account setup. Once in here check all your accounts by clicking on them and then hitting edit. Look for EAS or only one server address. If this is what you have you are syncing to exchange and Versamail takes over contacts and calendar from hotsync. This cannot be changed. If you do not have EAS or one server on the device. It is possible that Versamail is holding the contacts and calendar due to you had exchange before. If this is the case the only thing you can do is a hard reset to resolve the issue. I understand that most cannot backup there data(contacts and calendar). But to fix this issue you will need to do the hard reset.
If you are not using exchange and find contacts and calendar in your hotsync log but have OLERR under them please look at this KB for possible fixes to this issue. http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167
Lastly if you are using Verizon's WirelessSync. Just by having this installed will disable contacts and calendar from syncing. To enable this go into WirelessSync then settings-->advanced settings and enable other sync applications.

I'm having this issue, but can't find any issues with an Exchange server (I don't work in a big office, and we don't have one set up). My phone did a hard reset this past weekend when I tried to send a picture via Snappermail (which I use instead of Versamail, if it matters); I was able ot restore all my data with the next hotsync, but, after that, it stopped syncing the Contacts and Callendar (but the hotsync log shows no errors--although it also doesn't say htey synchronized correctly, either). I've tried doing what was suggested in the first post of this thread (to the best of my ability--as I don't use Versamail, I just tried to do the same thing with Snapper, and made sure no accounts were up on Versamail). I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop, and performed a hard reset on my Treo. Still, nothing. I'd backed up the contacts and addresses on my memory card with FileZ, and that's the only place I've got the current info--I somehow lost the separate back-up I'd created on my desktop (outside of my Palm folder) for my contacts, although the datebook info is still there. I'm using Vista, and running Desktop 6.2.2. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated immensely--I've lost a few nights sleep trying to get this figured out, and am at the end of my rope. Thanks!

Syncing contacts from Iphone to new pc, NO OUTLOOK , MobileMe?

Ok so I have an Iphone 3GS and my hardrive on my computer crashed losing all my itunes data. I was able to use 3rd party software to retrieve my music and video, and I was able to transfer all my purchases onto my new computer's itunes which runs windows 7.
However, the problem is that I know if I try to sync my contacts it will lose all 275 of my contacts. Also..because of how Office 2010 is, I don't have outlook on this new computer (I have home and student edition of windows). Can i even bring my contacts over if it no longer will be syncing with outlook?
I know MobileMe is a way of retaining contact information, however i haven't installed it or purchased it before my old harddrive crashed. If I purchase MobileMe now, and install it...If I try to sync my phone..will it pull over my contacts from my phone and keep them? Or will it also erase all my contacts and start from scratch.
Please help, I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks,

You can sync contacts with Outlook, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 which I believe is called Windows Contacts or Windows address book.
Before syncing contacts with the Windows Contacts application, enter one contact in the application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Syncing Contacts from iPhone to PC

Hi all
I am rapidly losing my patience with this and can't understand what I'm doing wring so I'd be grateful of any help.
I am trying to get my contacts off my Phone 3Gs and onto my PC ready for tranferiing onto my new HTC phone when it arrives. BUT no matter what try I can't get anything to work as it should.
I've tried syncing contacts using iTunes -
I tried syncing to my gmail account - but when I type in my Google ID and password it juts keeps opening up the same window again asking for ID and p/word again and again.
I tried syncing to windows contacts as we have Vista on the PC - it seems to be working but then theer is nothing in my windows contact folde on the PC when it's finished.
I tried using the google sync thing by creating the exchange account on the iPhone - the only thing that has happened is that in my contacts of the iPhone I now have a duplicated contacts list in a seperate group called "From my PC" Nothing has synced to my gmail contacts.
At this point I should say that I rarely use my gmail acount and the contact list is emply on there so there are no contacts to sync back to my iPhone (if you know what I mean)
I also then tried an app called Contacts Sync that is free from the App store. I set it up and set it to synchronise. It says it's done it but then shows no data has been transfered.
It's almost like none of these methods are finding any conatcts on my phone.
Anyone any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks

You can also sync your contacts to Microsoft Address Book. Go to the info pane with your phone connected to change the settings.
Your iphone backup also contains your contact info. So before you sync, back up your phone manually, here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Do the same to transfer your purchases by choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

N900 - errors when syncing contact

Hi, when I'm trying to sync contacts between Nokia Ovi Suite and my n900 I get error codes 839300001 and 8004fd02. Does somebody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Ok- I have found a few things. If you have XP make sure that you are running the SP2. You can do that by running automatic updates or by going to Start->Windows update on the scroll menu and install the latest Windows updates. If you do auto updates you should be cool. If you are running on anything less than XP or Vista (like 2000)- you are out of luck. You will need to upgrade to XP or Vista.
2nd option: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996
3rd option: One guy said he tried downloading Winamp 5.5, transferred all of his songs then for fun wanted to sync to iTunes to see what it would do. Low and behold it worked for him.
So far, I've done the 1st 2 and I am syncing now.....Seems there are some bugs with these. Hopefully in another update or 2 it will all be resolved.
AHHHH!!!! I just got error -53!!!!
I am officially discouraged. Apple for the love of God, please help and give hope. I would like for this to work. It's bad enough it will not work with the Philips DVD player without the AV cables. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
