Hi !
After syncing (with 2 computers), the birthdays and anniversaries are duplicated : the same day I have :
'Anniversaire de X'
and also
'X de anniversaire'.
It seems it does happend when I hard reset my device and re-sync databases/contacts/calender.
Any suggestion to avoid this problem .
Same problem for me...What I do?...everytime I have to delte all duplicates manually... ...

Duplicate Anniversaries
This is a problem with Microsoft Activesync, and you use two computers. Unfortunately the initial fix involves having to manually delete the duplicates. I have several hundred contacts. Do this quickly through Outlook on your PC. In Calendar, go to View/Arrange by/Current View and select recurrent events. Add a "Modified" column (right click the header, select Field Chooser and drag "Modified" to the header row). Click "Modified" and this will separate the latest updates from the originals. You can then delete all the duplicates in record time. Do this with your PDA in the cradle so changes are made real time.
Once you have one PC and a PDA with no duplicates, go to your second PC and, before cradling your PDA, remove all Recurrent Events. Set the Activesync options on the second PC to "Combine items" or else you'll wipe of all records in the next step in your PDA instead.
When you then sync with the second PC, only one copy will appear, transferred from your PDA. You should only have to do this once as the PC's will now be in sync.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I'll have to do that each hard reset
Regards.

I have an XDA. Recently, the battery wore down and I had to reinstall everything and also synchronise the calendar from a PC. However, I notice that, although all 2004 and 2005 appointments are all there on the PC - Outlook - all 2004 appointments have gone from the XDA. How can I put them back. I would like everything on the PC to be exactly the same as the XDA.
Perhaps I am not viewing them correctly. I have noticed that recurring appointments like birthdays are still there from 2004 but not all the appointments I put in.
Thanks.
open pc activesync
click the tools menu
choose option
choose the rules tab
click on the dropdown box called desktop
pick the "always replace the items on the pc"
The items are on the PC - I do not want to replace them.
I want to take the items from the PC and put them on the PDA. I am sure they are on the PDA already but I can't view them.
just go in and look for yourself
you can pick the reverse
so your pc will always have what your pda have
It's okay - I had the XDA set to synchronise only the previous two weeks appointments - now I have set it to synchronise all of them!
Thanks for your help anyway!
My phone = HTC wizard (WM5)
I sync with my university's Exchange 2003 server.
OK, the other day i took three pics (100-150KB each) with my phone camera. I tried to email them to one of my hotmail accounts. I did this by clicking on the pics (in the Pictures & Video folders) and selecting "Send". Then It asked me to select an account and i choose "outlook" which i assume is the email i sync with exchange because the only other option was MMS.
Then i clicked on send/recieve and it synchronised with exchange etc, but then it said Attention Required and the emails had not been sent. I tried this many times but could not get the emails to be sent. When i connected my phone to the computer and tried it thru my computers activesync, it still didnt send the emails, giving me support code 1 error.
That support code isnt even listed with the others here.
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php
i even tried changing my activesync settings to download full emails and full attachments (i.e. not only if attachment smaller than <insert number>KB.
in the end i gave up and deleted the emails. now when it connects with activesync i get no problems and no support code 1.
I am just wondering why it couldn't send a few simple emails with pics attached.
ALSO, since im making a thread anyway, my outlook.ost file is 0KB. Is that normal?
Similar problem with HTC Touch Diamond
Hello friends,
I am having similar problem with my Touch Diamond. A few of my contacts fail to synchronize. I get the error Support Code:1
Any help??
Have you tried duplicating this again at all? Like with just one pic.
Support Code 1
Hi people,
Hi had this ERROR when I was synchronizing all my stuff in my kaiser. I found the solution with my friend google and this forum:
Click Start > Run and type the following: Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\ole32.dll
Click OK, Reboot your PC. Sync again.
After reregistering ole32.dll, you should scan all items on your mobile device for unsynced annotations. If there are, CHANGE the item on the mobile device and sync. This is the only way to keep all your changes made and sync them to your desktop PC.
Some of the items where having issues and that was the origin of "the support Code 1"
active sync support code:1 Alltel Touch Pro
Scan how, what do I do on the phone?
I'm getting a number of items that were recurring b'day entries
I found and deleted them on the PC, but I can't find them on the phone
to delete them. I'm still trying to setup the phone, so if needed, I can do a
cold reset. Alltel replaced a ppc6800 with the touch pro. *sigh* I miss
all the buttons. Anyway I do have good data in Outlook and a good PIMbackup
just before turning in the old phone. I tried the ole32.dll thing but no luck.
Can anyone suggest a button mapping program, the windows one only sees
the 'red' button as programmable? I'm also looking for a 'how-to' to use
SPB's P+ & Mobile shell instead of the touch3d thing. I have Resco Regedit
and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks
Activesync Support Code 1
I hope this is helpful to someone with Activesync problems.
I sync my AT&T Fuze with Outlook on my desktop using Activesync 4.5 on XP. Contacts, calendar, tasks, notes. My first sync just loaded up my Fuze from Outlook, based on existing data that was previously synced with 8525. Subsequent incremental syncs worked fine, until one day I started getting the infamous Support Code 1 along with a long list of Fuze updates that would not sync to Outlook. I was amazed at how little information there is on the web about these types of Activesync errors.
I finally figured it out. I had imported a new Outlook data file into Outlook, because I needed to convert it from Outlook format to Outlook Express format. After the conversion, I had left the second Outlook data file (mail, calendar, tasks) in Outlook, even though it was not being used. Apparently, the presence of this second Outlook data file was enough to confuse Activesync and prevent the syncing of new updates from my Fuze. After I deleted all traces of the data file from Outlook (and thus had only my single main data file), Activesync began working again, and the Support Code 1 did not occur. I realize that I am just describing symptoms, but since I can do what I need to do, I am not digging deeper. Perhaps there is a way to tell Activesync which Outlook data file to use, but I don't care.
change contact-pictures to 240x320 pixels
Make sure your contact-pictures do not exceed the 240x320 pixels format as larger pictures cannot be synced in outlook!

How do you scan for offending items on the phone? I have this same issue with 25 birthdays and anniversaries on my phone. They don't show up in the calendar on the phone or in Outlook 2007, though. How do I find them?

Did you ever get or find a answer to this question? I'm getting this error with a recurring task that occurred in the past. And the support code 1 indicates the item is on the phone. But I can't find a way to view old tasks on the phone at all. I go to the referenced year/month and it's simply not there.
I've wiped the device, but my situation is complicated by syncing with Win7 at home with no issues and win xp at work. Why mobile device under Win7 pushes old tasks you can't view on the phone is it's own issue.

Wow! Time flies, and it didn't take long for my reminder to reply to this to get buried WAY at the bottom of my Inbox. Sorry for the delay. The way that I solved this problem was through Outlook. I sync with Outlook, and I believe that I went in and deleted them from there. I believe that if you go into the Calendar in Outlook, and select "Events" for the current view, you may find some strange looking events. Mine were events that started out with a couple of blank spaces. I believe they were birthdays/anniversaries that didn't have any names in them, only spaces. At any rate, you should already have SOME indication as to the name of the events, and you should look for those and try to delete them.
I have since then flashed a couple of times, so I'm not sure if it got fixed by flashing or with the Outlook solution. Needless to say, I haven't had this problem since, so I suspect that it was a random problem that got fixed at least by reflashing. Sorry.

Hi guys!
I need yous help or comments here.
I have PPC WM6, Outlook 2003.
I have downloaded a .pst file for a sports tournament here in South Africa.
I have imported it to my Outlook calendar, and the appointments appear on my PC, but does not sync to my PPC.
I saw something about a PPC not being able to sync personal files etc.
I wanna know, is there an easy way to get the PPC to sync the Appointments to my PPC. I saw some software and stuff, but not sure if there is a easy way to do it?
Can someone help here??
Thanks guys!
I have included a Screenie of how my setup looks! Thanks!
Anyone that can help with this please!
I think there should be some thing in Outlook configuration for selecting your main synce source files. may be outlook only sync your ppc with your default pst file.

Thats indeed what happens.
But how do i get that part of the Calender to sync with the main .pst?
I did in once before, but i used a different .pst file, i think that was configured to link upto the main pst.
Its strange, becuase this .pst that i loaded for the sports event created a second type of calendar, i dont know how to set it to sync with main!
Any ideas??
Thanks guys!
As I understand it, ActiveSync, will only sync the default folders in your OutLook account, i.e. the ones in your exchange server. However, you can specify to Outlook to deliver new mail, appointments, etc. to a pst file automatically, thus making the folders (calendar, contacts, mail, etc.) in the pst file available for syncing to the PPC. This is they way I have setup my PC at the moment. Merely "importing" the pst file to Outlook will not change the default folders that are used to deliver new items and to sync with the exchange server and the PPC. This is why you can see the 2 calendars side by side. If you only want to have some specific appointments made available to the PPC I would recommend just copying them to the default calendar folder.

Hi!
Where is the default calender folder located?
Thanks alot!
(If i copy this .pst to that folder, will it sync??)
Thanks
I'm afraid is not that simple... In the screenshot my PST folders (personal) are on top and my default Outlook Folders are below. In your case your default folder is "CALENDAR" and your PST Folder is "Super 14". Simply copying the folder inside outlook will just create a "Calendar2" folder below the default one. The easiest way would be:
1. Open the "Super 14" Calendar which contains the appointments you want to sync to the PPC.
2. Change the VIEW to "ALL APPOINTMENTS".
2. Then, EDIT -> SELECT ALL.
3. Now you can either EDIT->COPY and EDIT->PASTE them into your "CALENDAR" folder OR move (EDIT->MOVE TO) them there. BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT ONCE THEY ARE MOVED IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THEM FROM THAT CALENDAR, OR TO RETURN THEM TO OLD ONE.
Try it first with a couple of appointments and see if you can sync them to the PPC.
Make a copy of your PST file first, so you can go back if it gets screwed up.

Thanks alot! Its appreciated
Hi guys!!!!!!
Just to confirm, that this move worked perfectly.
So if anyone wants to try this...............it works!!!!
Cheers
Glad to help. I know what a painful AND FRUSTRATING experience ActiveSync and outlook can be!
Hi guys,
I have been looking for a tool which allows me to delete some of the older appointments which have already occurred. I have found some which allow me to delete all my appointments - but I really just want to delete historical appointments.
Is there a tool out there for that?
Any pointers appreciated?

Use Sync Content options in ActiveSync/WMDC
Hi
This might work: Synchronise your calendar with a Windows PC that has MS Outlook installed so that you get you existing calendar stored on the computer. It might, at this point, be worth exporting the calendar folder from Outlook so that you have a back up in case anything goes wrong!
Now, in ActiveSync on the phone, in options un-select the tick box that relates to synchronising calendar content. You should get a message saying that all the content synchronised with this PC will be deleted, click Yes.
Then, when you plug the phone back in to the PC, wait until the synchronisation is complete and go into sync options on the pc. You should be able to re-select calendar content and then in the settings dialogue box you will get options of how far back you want to go. I think that the longest is one month. When you click OK, it will only sync the calendar appointments before one month ago at the point of the synchronisation.
Hope that helps

also, oldsap wrote an app to delete appointments.. search for it in his homepage
Hello,
just bought the Mate 7 and set it up. Synchronized the phone with the software "myPhone"Explorer".
I'm not using Google Calender -> no sync etc.
I notice now, that all the birthdays of my contacts are shown in the calender.
As I use also Outlook, i already do have all birthdays listed in my calender.
So, now I have shown every birthday twice in my Mate 7 which I (of course) don't like.
Does anyone have had the same issue and knows if it's possible to disable an option of showing every contacts birthday automatic in the calendar?
Regards,
Bacelo

Hi Grafet,
thank you for your answer.
Just not to get you wrong: you mean the Online Google Calender (https://www.google.com/calendar/) or?
If so, showing birthday is disabled there.
I searched everywhere in the calendar settings of the Mate 7, but couldn't find any option not showing any contact birthdays.
*weird*
Regards, Bacelo
Hello,
I have exactly the same issue till 6 month.
And I couldn't find a way to disable this option.
I think it comes from the contact app.
Anyone can help us ????
Hello,
I guess I just figured it out...
It's the definitely a thing of a combo of calendar- & contact-app like an included function to automatically show the birthdays of the contacts in the calendar (which isn't actually that bad).
But, like me, synchronizing with "MS Outlook" via the software "myPhoneExplorer", I got in trouble because I also have the birthdays in Outlook as an real calendar entry.
So final what I did to get it fixed:
- deleted all birthday calendar entrys in the Mate 7 (which was pulled over from Outlook)
- then, in the software myPhoneExplorer -> settings -> synchronizing -> events & tasks -> enhanced/extended -> filters
- there are two filter fields and in the second I entered: Geburtstag;Birthday
It may differ a bit as I have the sync software in German.
You also might change "Geburtstag;Birthday" to whatever your category naming in Outlook is for the group of birthdays (if you have set that up).
In addition, you can also use the name filter of the first filter field (in my case "Geburtstag von").
*voila* :cyclops:
-> So what it does now, the software filters and skips all Outlook calendar entries of the category you configured (f.e. "Geburtstag" / "Birthday" etc.)

Hello,
I agree with your method. It corrects the fact that we show them twice.
My problem is that I have birthdays stored in my contacts but, for some of them, I don't want to display them in my calendar.
And if I understood your method well, you erased your birthdays from your outlook calendar. I need them in outlook.
Thank you for your solution but I'll try to find another one but as you said, I think it's a native function that is not customizable.

Nope, I did NOT erase anything from outlook calender.
1.) I did erase/delete all the birthday entries in the ANDROID Mate 7 calender (which had been inserted on the very first sync with outlook).
2.) Then, finally only all the CONTACT birthday entries in the Android calender (auto include function?!) showed up
3.) Finally I did set up the filter function in myPhoneExplorer software to EXLUDE Outlooks Birthday calender entries during syncs.
What it does now when synchronizing is to sync everything EXCEPT Outlooks birthday CALENDER entries.
Hope this helps.

I'm facing a strange behavior. I'm using myphone explorer as well to synchronize with Lotus Notes. For some reason the latest calendar entries from Notes have been synchronized into the Huawei birthday calendar.
I didn't even realized that this calendar exists, however if really like to know how to disable it or at least how to prevent MPE to synch with it.
Any ideas?

you can set up some "Ausnahmen" / exceptions as a filter.
This can be done for
- contacts
- calendars & events
So all you need to do is configure a exception filter in MPE in your profile -> menu -> settings (or just hit "F2" in MPE) -> synchronizing -> "Termine & Events" -> Erweitert
- See the right column "Filter" -> the possible entry fields
- in my example, I entered in the first field "Geburtstag von" and in the second one "Geburtstag;Birthday"
So check, how the birthday entries look like in you Lotes Notes and set up MPE filters respectively.

Bacelo
