I need to update the rom on my girlfriends phone as it thinks daylight savings happened today and it's annoying her and the rom is the one that came with the phone 1.5 years ago.
She's never backed up to activesync.
I downloaded and installed the newest active sync on her computer. (mine is running fine for my Tilt and i didnt want contacts to get all combined)
It finds her phone fine. But it doesnt show any contacts in outlook. contacts is selected in the list of things to back up.
help!~
oh~my english is verypool~do not quite understand
2125 contacts don't sync to Outlook
I am having this same problem with my wife's phone. I saw where the office service pack needed to be a certain minimum level, but I took care of that and it still doesn't work.
PIM Backup is no solution for you ?
back up your contacts to the SIM. If you need more detailed back up use PIM back-up as Peter says.
You can find PIM back up in the developing and hacking forum, if I recall correctly.
I think the most comfortable way of backing up your contacts is via mail2web. just create an account and add their exchange server to your activesync settings.
there's no need for extra-software to do this.

PIM Backup 2.5
here it is
I find it easier to just let it sync with outlook after a rom upgrade. you will get all your contacts and mails back.
but make sure to use the pimbackup to keep your sms messages and call logs etc.

My push email server and pim backup started conflicting with each other after a few rom flashes so now only my email syncs with the server...I backup everything else via Pim Backup.

Hi,
I want to transfer my contacts, note ... from my old PDA2 (WM 2003 SE) to new Nokia 6220 Classic (S60 on Symbian). I have exported my contacts to some files such as .csv .txt .vcf by outlook but the Nokia communicator software dose not import said files and says "The contacts cannot be imported. Check the file format"
Thanks to help me.
Cheers

It's not a WinMo phone, right? contact your service provider. Most have the means to conduct PIM transfers between incompatible phones. Most will also charge you for the luxury. I think it's usually worth it not to have to retype every contact, when you have over a hundred...
I should be getting a Fuze shortly and wanted to know if using PIMbackup would copy the contacts and messages over to the Fuze with no problem?
Or what is the best way to bring over the contacts complete? (since I have emails, addresses, etc- so no SIM transfer)
pim back up works well. ive never has a problem and works for more than contacts. or you could use active sync.

so importing from the Tilt to the Fuze using PIM backup works without any issues?
contacts works fine
but for my messages when i restore it does them all received first then sent in threaded so i dont bother
A couple more options for ya...
I always use my exchange server to back up my contacts/calendar. Just put the ES info in Activesync on your Fuze and it'll load everything automatically. Mail2web is a good free server.
Or you can just copy the "pim" file from the root directory of your Tilt to a storage card, and then replace the one on your Fuze with it.

Same Operating System.
Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I have a samsung i780 and ActiveSync does not detect it, I just want to hard reset it (does hard reset delete everything?) to see whether I can make it detected by ActiveSync or not.
I can not afford to lose my contacts information, Also, It will be very good to keep all sms too.
Can you please let me know how I can do that?
Thanks
try PPCPimBackup

To keep the contacts probably the easiest way it to sign up for one of the free online Exchange email accts and let the OTA Active Sync do it's magic. Personally i use mail2web. Doesn't help with the SMS though.
Other alternative that has just popped into my head is PIMBackup, seek and ye shall find on this forum. It will backup the whole thing, Contacts, Calendar, all messaging accounts, basically the whole PIM data.
+1 on PimBackup. It is downloaded as a windows mobile executable. Just copy it onto your sd card (which I hope you have).

not entirely sure but have you tried microsoft myphone? im using it to sync everything apart storage card.
I don't know about Facebook seeing as I've never used it but PIM backup can backup all of your contacts with any amount of phone numbers and addresses. You can backup and restore directly from your HD2 with PIM backup so it's probably the easiest solution.
Is your Pc runnning with windows... i thinks so because you said smthg. about outlook. If it´s so, an you have win7 or Vista then use Windows Mobile device center
You can select which contents you want to save wand wich not...
Sry for my english, I´m from austira
microsoft myphone does the backup of contacts and if you have them linked to facebook it keeps them when restoring
Google Contacts is working great for me

none of the ways said already will keep the links,
i find it annoying too, cause u have to "re link them to fb"
there is one way of doing it, which is to get the facebook app.
keep it on the SD card, that way when u reflash, it wont dissapear

Hi Guys
if this has been answered elsewhere i do apologise.. i'm working a 12 hour shift and i'm bloody knackered..
anyway i have 2 questions
1. when Hotmail is selected for the email app (it automatically goes through to use windows live) it only seems to download the last 50 emails on the account.... is there a way of changing this?
2. When i used PIM backup (I other email accounts setup which i backed up) it only seemed to backup my email headers but not the full email itself any ideas on that one? i restore them but it be pretty pointless as it shows non of the email.. .
and thirdly.. (yea ok 3 questions.. did i mention i was tired?)
today i upgraded to Dutty's Ultimate HG 2.5 WWE and i could previously setup my Hotmail account via the "other Account" option to allow more flexibility in handling my emails.. is there a way of me to stop the email client to not even bother using Windows Live as it's options are pretty crap.
Ta very much
ok the 50 email limit i've found out is Microsoft imposed.. grrrrr... however then i need to try and setup my email manually to use outlook settings instead of it using windows Live.. any ideas?
oh my god.. i'm stupid.. apologies.. i've sorted it now.. i blame the tiredness again..
Ok that's sorted just an issue with the PIM stuff..
Pim backup email headers only
Please Help,
Pim backup will only restore email headers only. How do I get round this? Its driving me mad?
