I NEED HELP. IF SOMEONE CAN FIGURE THIS ONE OUT, IM BUYING YOU A DRINK!.
I recently upgraded from the 8125 WM5 device to the new 8925 WM6 device.
I saved the pim.vol file from the 8125 and sync'd it with Outlook to make sure i have a backup of all my contacts and calendar entries. Well, I sold the 8125 then recently reformatted my computer and had problems with the 8925 so i upgraded the ROM and FORGOT TO SYNC WITH OUTLOOK FIRST BEFORE UPGRADING THE ROM.
SO NOW IM STUCK WITH A CLEAN 8925 PHONE WITH NO CONTACTS AND A WM5 PIM.VOL FILE. I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THIS PHONE TO RECOGNIZE THE PIM.VOL FILE. I LOST HUNDREADS OFCONTACTS AND TONS OF APPOINTMENT DATES.
Please, if you have have any suggestions whatsoever, im willing to do anything at this point. Thankss!
I dont understand you, did u say u have a wm5 pim.vol,and it wont work on a wm6 device? did the 8925 come with wm5 or wm6?

i got a new imate sp5m but the problem is tht i sold off my imate jam with which i had taken my contacts backup through x backup and now since the sp5m doesnt have a restore option nor does it have x backup how do i open the file compactflashbackuppim since it doesnt have any extension and how do i open it/import its contents in outlook or is there any other procedure ?
could anyone help me with a solution or a link regarding this..??
Perhaps you should take some time to write correctly, with punctuation and all. Sometimes writing clearly helps understanding one's problem better, anyway in this state, it's normal that nobody answered you. If you don't take the time to write clearly, no-one will take the time to answer you, too.
So... I think what you need is called Jeyo Outlook Extender or Jeyo Mobile Companion.
Well thanks for the reply,and i found out only one way to sort the thing out ! Borrowed my friends o2 mini and synchronized my file with outlook express and exported out a .csv file..now i can sync all my contacts and calender appointments with my new phone..
has anyone sorted how to get the notes field from a calendar entry to sync ?
I'm having a similar problem where my task notes are not sync'ing. I think this is a bug, since it used to sync with my Tmobile SDA, but not with my DASH.
I have the same problem after upgrading to WM6 on my Samsung i600...
Did you solved it in the meantime and help me with it?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
My calendar notes sync fine with my WM6 Dash -- it also worked with WM5 prior to the upgrade. Currently using Vista with Outlook 2007, previously it was working also with XP and Outlook XP.
Do you have the most recent version of Activesync? Could that be related?
Hi Chaznet,
I have Vista and Outlook 2007. Before upgrading my i600 to WM6 it worked fine. I did the ROM-upgrade a week ago, but just found it out yesterday.
I can make notes attached to a task on my device, it will sync and end up in Outlook on my PC. But just adding one letter to it or something will keep the note on the PC side but after syncing it is gone on my smartphone.
I have WMDC 6.0.6783, I also tried WMDC 6.1 but this will end up in an error on WMDC that I have to delete the current sync-connection and make a new one. I tried to reinstall WMDC back and forth between 6.0 and 6.1 and deleting the sync relation on my device so it was blank (no contacts, tasks, agenda at all present on the device). The only thing it remembers is my device name I gave it on my PC, so maybe I have to manually delete that somewhere.
So if you have a sollution or a place to look. It will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sorry, never had a problem with it so never had to troubleshoot. Maybe you can find a forum somewhere specific to your device -- possibly it's related to a i600 (whatever that is)...

Hi Chaznet,
It's the Samsung i600 similar to the BlackJack but with Wifi. It is on the European market.
thanks for your answer but if someone else has an answer... This will be great.
notes sync fine with me. i am using:
- tmobile dash w/ iu russian wm6 beta rom
- activesync 4.5
- outlook 2003
You should look for a Samsung forum -- might be something to do with that device. I do seem to recall an earlier version of ActiveSync having this issue, but I really don't remember -- glad it's not something I'm having a problem with, sorry to hear you are...

Just use PIM backup.

mail2web
you can create a free exchange account at mail2web.com and transfer your contacts. You can then sync them to the new phone. They even have cab files for setting up your device.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I will try both it is always good to have a great backup of your contacts!!

mail2web is awesome. use it.
When i start contacs its just shows a little dot in the upper left corner and it doesn't start and the problem with calendar is, when i'm adding a meeting it just dont take it. I'm using phils wm6. Any ideas?
have you replaced the default pim.vol with WM5's pim.vol ? If yes, that's the problem
ok, yes i did replace it with a pim.vol from wm5. i didnt save the wm6 pim.vol so now i have to reinstall it then?
Most likely you need to hard reset the phone
if you have the contacts synchronized on pc or on the sim you may not hard reset. just rename the pim.vol to pim2.vol or whatever and reboot. a new pim.vol file will be created.
if you want to backup the whole information from pim.vol and use it on wm6, read this thread:

i've been too in your situation. and after a while i've found a solution.. i've succesfully backed up on a c500 with wm5 and restored it on my wm6 c600 with that application. it may work also with wm5 emulator .
hi guys,
I upgraded from Tytn II (tilt) to HTC Fuze. Everything are wonderful and love my new Fuze. However, I have one problem about transferring my contacts, tasks, and calendar appointments to my new Fuze. I did backup by Spb backup and put the file in memory card. Then, I put the memory card in Fuze and did restore to the file, but nothing appear in Fuze !!!!!!
I don't know is this wrong way to transfer them? is there another way?
i've seen some questions before, but comeon
try searching harder its here
try google
try reading the manual
try "activesync"

Try PIM Backup. worked for going from my wizard to my fuze
Signup for an exchange account. It's the easiest way I've ever found to carry my contacts over easily between phones and post ROM flash - especially if you're contract is a flat internet rate.
I'm currently running Touch Pro, with a StrTrk as backup for when I don't want to carry the Pro out, and a Typhoon for when I'm in a candybar mood. All of them are set to sync to my exchange server, so I don't ever need to worry about one phone having someone's old number - just pop my SIM in and go out.
I've got a mail2web account - it's only Exchange 2003 but it's free and that's the bit that's important to me!
