I have an interesting problem with synchronizing my Outlook contacts to my Treo 750. I noticed this using both ActiveSync installed on my PC as well as using an ActiveSync direct connect to our Exchange Server. I have about 1300 contacts that I synchronize. Most of them synchronize but there are several, non duplicated contacts, which for some reason or other just will not transfer to the Treo 750. I tried this on another phone, BlackJack, and all of my contacts moved across successfully so I am sure there is no problem with my contacts database and it must be an issue with the Treo. Any thoughts on this??

Greetings all, I have two imate jams and one PC which I would like to have different contacts. Problem is, when I sync with Outlook, both PDA's have the same contacts (combined). Any ideas how to overcome this problem?
2 different outlook users would fix it
or maybe something in relation to categories
In ActiveSync you switch to "sync only contacts of the following categories". So categorizing your contacts will help.
I'm using Outlook 2007 and ActiveSync 4.5. I don't know what the problem is. It used to do it when I'm in Vista with 2007 but I can't do it in XP with 2007. Now, my internet and Mobile Device Sync is no longer working in Vista so I have to use XP.
Is this a problem in the ROM or with ActiveSync. According to MS's website, it should support photo contacts. Does anyone have this problem or am I alone on this one?
What exactly is the problem? Is it not saving the contact pix into outlook?
I should've been clearer. My device did a hard reset for some reason so I had to reinstall all of my apps and resync all of my contact. I noticed that the contacts with photos on them are not getting synced to the phone.
no takers on this one?
I apologise if this is a FAQ - I've searched but only found a single reference to a similar problem. It was in the Trinity forum here and the fix listed didn't help me.
I recently upgraded my Hermes to WM6 with Windows Live version 10.6.0028.1100. I have the synchronize options set to sync email and contacts, merging duplicate contacts.
When I synchronized with Windows Live, it downloaded the email and put the contacts on the phone, but the Live contacts won't synchronize over to Outlook. I would like them to, if possible (unlike most people it seems, from the search results I got) - they did in the previous version of Windows Live that I was using with WM5.
I also tried creating a "Windows Live" contact on the phone itself, and that did not synchronize with Outlook either. Regular contacts do.
Is this a known issue? If anyone is better with the search than I am, I'd be grateful for any assistance.
Edit: I just deleted the Activesync pairing and re-paired, then resynchronized with Windows Live. It deleted all but 5 of my contacts from my Messenger list (the 5 that were new since I updated to the new version of Messenger and that weren't in Outlook) - OUCH!
I just downgraded to 10.6.0026.1400, which I heard could be more stable.
I still have the same issues though - many Live contacts in my phone not synchronising to Outlook on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Have you considered trying Microsoft Outlook Connector on your desktop? This will allow outlook to sync directly with windows live. I have been also looking into ways to sync outlook connector on my desktop with an exchange server so i have true direct-push e-mail along with contact and calendar syncing from windows live. If this appeals to you, let me know and we can start a thread for that!
Best,

Interesting, thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of Outlook Connector. I might give the latest beta a go if there's no longer a way to synchronise them directly from the phone.
So is the issue with Live contacts not automatically synchronising to Outlook on the desktop expected, then? If so, it must have changed from the earlier pre-WM6 betas.
to the best of my knowledge u need a paid hotmail account for outlook connector
You don't need a paid account for mail and contacts, only for the rest (such as calendar).
Although Outlook (at least 2002 and 2007) lets you synchronize live mail anyway, so that's not much of a bonus.
As being a Vista user, I was wondering if there exist a way to synchronize my Prophet with the integrated Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar app's instead of Office Outlook?
Mobile device center picked this up on my wifes computer because office outlook was never installed. Try uninstalling outlook, unpair your device (delete profile) from MDC and then try it again.
It won't sync... My Polaris was paired prior to installing Outlook, and it didn't work at all....
I did try to uninstall Outlook (wich was no problem) and unpaired my device.
When I tried to setup the relationship again, WMDC grayed out the options to sync Contacts, Agenda etc. because "Outlook is not installed".
Pitty......
To my knowledge, Windows Mobile will only sync locally with Outlook.
My girlfriend's Vista laptop does not have Outlook installed and I am unable to sync calendar/contacts etc using that PC.
My Vista laptop has Outlook installed and it sync's perfectly fine.
I posted this same question on the Microsoft boards and the moderator stated what we expected: syncing is only possible with Outlook.
So, that's it then, back to Outlook! (I like clean systems......)
Hello,
ive just reinstalled windows vista and outlook 2007. imported my contacts ok into outlook. synced htc touch hd and established partnership seemingly ok. however, WMDC doesnt let me choose outlook contacts and calendar when i want to decide what data settings to sync? its as if WMDC doesnt think outlook is there!
anyone?
tried reinstalling etc. this was working perfectly before. i.e when managing what information to sync, there was a clear choice between windows contacts and outlook contacts etc
