How can I remove an ActiveSync partnership from a phone without removing all the synchronized items with this partnership?
My girl's phone no longer needs to be synched for contacts only for calendar but if I uncheck the contacts-option, AS removes all synced items.
So I thought that i might be able to remove a partnership and then create a new one and only sync the calendar but then also everything is removed...
please advise
My Trick was to get PIMBackup, Backup my Contacts. Uncheck the Contacts in ActiveSync, let it delete, and restore the Contacts from my Backup in PIMBackup.

Using Thumbcal and Syncmate I obtained a calendar with lots of duplicated appointments so now i'm in bad need of canceling all the appointments on my Diamond. Is there a way ti do that in one strike?
Thanks
The way I usually solve that is by deleting all my appointments in Outlook and then sync again. I do have a backup of my appointments either with Pimbackup or a clean backup in Outlook.
and to make it a bit easier in Outlook Calender (on PC) switch view to 'all appointments', activate all and press delete.
Don't forget to make a back up before!
I've cleaned up my contact list and deleted all the contacts on my phone to transfer the fresh ones from outlook. But mobile device center deletes my outlook contacts instead of transfering them to my phone! What do i do?

read my answer in this thread
there are no active sync on Vista. But i think i found it, there are two alternatives if there is a conflict:
Replace elements on unit
Replace elements on desktop
Either doesn't do any good. the sync still tries to delete my outlook contacts.
I've tried the pimbackup also, but all the contacts end up as unknown on my phone.
So recently I formated my computer to Windows 7. And today I wanted to update my Rom on my tilt. So before doing so, I already had outlook installed, and I installed Mobile Device Center, and synced my phone. It said contacts were already being synced. So after it was done syncing, I updated my rom. After all is done, I went ahead and plugged it in, planned on syncing my contacts back on right?
Contacts, tasks, calender were all grayed out in Mobile Device center. And it said something about outlook not being configured. I opened up outlook... none of my contacts are in there...
So, I'm guessing my initial sync didn't go right, and I have lost all my contacts??
fml
regardless of the device center settings did you have all the contacts in your outlook when you looked?
If so I would FIRST backup you're outlook pst, then in sync device settings delete your old device relationship and then connect your device. you should be prompted to setup a new relationship and be able to sync your contacts back.
If your Outlook seems to be missing the contacts and/or corrupted you could try to run the Outlook PST Scan / Repair utility on your Outlook PST and see if that helps.
FYI the PST file is the store file for all your Outlook email, contacts, calendar, etc.
Hope that helps!
When I try to stop actively syncing certain features (like contacts), it erases all my contacts from my phone. Help?
Here's the deal:
I have set up my WM6.5 standard phone (Samsung JACK) to sync with my home PC and my work PC. The other day I wanted to back-up my contacts to my home PC, but I don't want it to sync contacts on my work PC because then it will download the entire office directory - do not want.
So I selected "CONTACTS" to sync while at home. I did it, it saved all my contacts to my PC, and now I'm happy.
Trouble:
When I went into options and un-selected "CONTACTS" it now has to remove all my contacts from my phone. Why??? It says that it has to remove all sync'd contacts to stop it from sync'ing in the future. That makes no sense, and is now causing me trouble.
To get my contacts back on my phone, I sync'd it with my home PC. But, now I can't sync with my work PC because I can't remove CONTACTS from the sync list.
This is also true with CALENDAR. I was thinking of trying to sync my Outlook calendar with GOOGLE Calendar, but to start a new sync with Google I have to unselect my calendar sync. If I do that, it removes all of my calendar items. THIS IS NO GOOD!
How can I unselect something to stop it from sync'ing in the future but leave those items alone on my device and PC as they are.
Help?
I hate to "bump", but I was hoping someone here had experience with this.
I can't seem to get anybody to talk to me about this, and it is increasingly infuriating.
The only answer I'm finding is that we CAN'T.
ActiveSync will delete everything if you stop sync'ing. So, we have to use a 3rd party backup software to backup everything, delete the partnership, and then set the new thing to sync, and reload from the backup.
A pain in the you-know-what, but it looks like Microsoft designed it that way. (Booooo, hisssssss)
i'm looking forward to getting away from MS in my next phone.
So here is what I've done and tryed sofar to be able to sync my contacts with GMail account:
-Created a seperate Gmail account for contacts backup and sync only.
-exported the contacts on my phone to SD card into csv file and imported them to my GMail account.
-Because I learned Gmail will only sync with google contacts, I wiped the contacts from my phone and imported the same csv again from the SD card into my Gmail backup account on the phone that is setup to sync to that specific account for contacts only.
After that every time I make changes into my Gmail (like adding a postal address) and sync with my phone, the changes don't show on my phone.
I've tryed sync with the google exchange server also and the MyPhoneExplorer application also without luck.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Also I would like to know iff there's a way when you put a birthday into the contactsinfo to make it show up automaticly into your callendar and have a notification?
Grtz,
