I have just upgraded to the latest Exec ROM and upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 Active Sync. When I sync the phone it copies my appointents from Outlook to the phone but no contacts. I have clicked on the settings for Contacts in Active Sync but it's greyed out!!! I really don't want to start typing all my contact info in again, am I doing something plain stupid? :roll:
Sorted it out, just needed to restart XP :roll:

I have a provblem when syncing my M5000 (JasJar) using Active Sync 4.1 On the today screen I can see the PDA shows a duplicated entry for an appointment on Saturday. I want to sync the PDA and then delete one using Outlook to let it then correct itself on the PDA, but it seems to 'hang' when it says its syncing the calendar.
I know if I remove all the appointments from the PDA and hope to sync them back on, it will remove them off my PC, as I've managed to do this once before
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance
Please help.
I have an XDA2i and I'm running Active Sync 4.2.0. When I try to sync, everything works fine, except I cannot select calander as a sync option with my XDA. Where I would normally go into options and check the box for calendar, there is no check box.
This is really starting to do my nut in as I've tried creating a new profile but the problem follows the profile. Any suggestions would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks
Have you got a default calendar set-up in outlook?
Yes...it used to work. It suddenly stopped allowing any synchronization, that's when I created a new profile for the XDA2i and updated to 4.2 but it will now not synchronize Calendar. It will sync the Contacts & tasks but the most important thing for my work is the Calendar.
Thanks
Calander problem and other queries
Hi I have had an xda2i in the past and it all worked fine with the Calander. This week my newer model xdamini S broke down so I turned to the replacment xda2i i had been sent when the other one packed up and I just cant get it to recognise the calander. Its just not in the list. As you say contacts etc is there but Calander is not. The strange thing is when setting up connection you can choose to sync with calander, contacts etc which I select only to find that once the sync occurs Calander is just not in the list. Can anyone you had anyone help solving this?? Im using outlook 2003. Also the xda2i im using has not got the latest drivers I have looked for them on the 02 site but they dont seem to be their anymore. Finally, what does the radio version do anyway? Help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Right then....
...The only workaround I have managed to find is simple...
1) Remove the ActiveSync software and all pairings
2) Hard Reset the XDA2i (yes, that means everything is lost is nothing has sync'd)
3) Re-install ActiveSync and recreate the partnership again.
It seems drastic, but since doing that the XDA2i now functions perfectly. Hope this helps some people (I'm reluctant to try anything like this on my new Mini S cos I can't get it to partner up at all..but that's another thread )
well.... its very strange but when i make any change on outlook calander on pc and/or serwer i cant see the changes on the pda.
but if i make changes or new apointments on pda it shows on the pc and on the serwer system.
i sync throw the serwer.
hope someone can figure this strange issue.
Had this issue as well, and I just solved it:
- Connect the Mobile Device to the Computer and make sure all your appointments are listed on the desktop.
- Disable Calender Sync in ActiveSync
- A message will pop-up, saying that all appointments will be erased from the Mobile Device. Accept this and continue.
- Enable Calender Sync in ActiveSync
- Happy 2-way Syncing

i just got the at&t fuze as an upgrade from the tilt (kaiser) i have all my contacts on my computer but i cannot get it to sync onto the phone. i also have my latest backup file created with sprite backup but when i go to restore it tells me that i need some sort of "sbu" file to go from the old version of sprite to the new one on the fuze.
i would prefer to get all my old text messages back as well as my contacts by using the backup but it would be fine if i could just get it sync'd with outlook. please, can someone help me.
and yes befoe you flame me i have searched the forums but have come up short of a solution.
AFAIK, Sprite won't restore because you have a different device.
SPB backup works for inter-device restorals but only for PIM data.
FYI, PIM restorals will make manila function incorrectly. I suggest using Microsoft My Phone to back up and restore PINM data.
Can you sync through WMDC?
If you can sync but outlook is not syncing, its in your sync settings.
WMDC? Windows media? yes it will let me sync thru that, at least it shows up in the sync center anyway. i dont use my phone for playing music, i have tried installing the old acticesync 4.5 driver, tried turning off the advanced network functionality and i cant remember what else, name off some things and i'll let you know if i've tried them.
one thing i just noticed is that it shows up under portable devices as a windows mobile device
WMDC, Windows Mobile Device Center replaced active sync in Vista.
If you can see your device in WMDC, then you should be able to set up your outlook sync relationship through there.
I have sync'd to outlook this way previously but I only have POP3 going into outlook so I just bypass it.
when i open wmdc all it shows me is the settings window that lets you change settings like allow usb connections, whether to accept connections from bluetooth or com3 etc. i cant get it to show me anything else
SOLVED, i found a link to a tutorial that fixed it all. here http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/11/22/how-to-sync-your-windows-mobile-device-to-a-windows-vista-pc/
Hi all-
I am having some trouble with active sync and outlook. I have a standard rom fuze syncing to outlook 2000 on a windows xp computer. The other day after a sync I noticed my contacts in outlook were all deleted, yet they are still on the phone. I noticed in active sync on the computer that it is only syncing the calendar, favorites and files, not contacts. When I look in the active sync program on the phone I see that the contacts option is now grayed out and is not available to select. I am not worried about loosing my database, I use pim backup, I just want to get my contacts back onto my computer. I have been using windows phones for several years and have never come across this problem before..
I deleted the partnership both on the phone and on the computer, and then re established the syncing partnership. At first if appeared it would sync the contacts, but when the syncing process was done, I was back to where I started with the contacts grayed out again.
I did come across these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428257
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264609
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=246075
and none of them provided any help to my situation.
One person did suggest installing some office xp updates which did not help, someone suggested to hard reset the phone but before I do that I wanted to ask if anyone knows of anything else I can try, and how I can prevent this from happening again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Handy thing that
thanks Jack of Clubs for the helpful link. I will definately check that out...
But for now, I need to get those contacts back into outlook. I use outlook to sync from my windows phone to a few nokia phones.
Anyone have any ideas I can try before a hard reset?
You didn't setup any type of exchange for your contacts for another server did you? Since my move to Vista/7 and the updated WMDC I haven't had that problem. Good luck...let us know how its sovled.
no, i don't have any type of exchange setup. just basic syncing to activesync through usb cable. quite baffling to me..
Deleted Out look contacts
This happened to me, luckily i found all my contacts in the deleted folder of Outlook and simply restored them, it has to do with the direction of syncing, i.e. pc to device or device to pc, on will over write the other......
yes, I did copy the deleted items back into the contact database.
I am trying to figure out how to re establish the syncing relationship between the phone and outlook..
