Synchronizing Contacts - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I used to synchronize to and from my pc contacts on my Magician. Now I have bought Prophet and want to synchronize contacts in it too.
The problem is that the sim contacts and some of contacts on my PC are same, so my prophet now has duplicate contacts
e.g contact "abc" with same number, is repeated twice
How to solve this problem?
And what is the folder in my PC where the contacts in PC are being stored?
Help me please
Regards

Two PDA's sync with one PC?

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.

Missing contacts!

I had to reinstall my Himalaya to WM2005.
I assigned contact pictures to some contacts. This can be seen in contacts in Outlook on the PC as "ContactPicture.jpg".
These contacts won't be synced with WM2005 - they are missing - no error message or somehing else.
How can I reimport them via AciveSync with the ContactPicture included?
Thanks,
Eggert

Outlook contacts sync

I have the following situation:
I previously had a Nokia 6680, which I used to sync with Office Outlook, through Nokia Pc Suite. The problem is that all my contacts phone numbers, was filed as "Other" , in the Outlook contacts field, and now, when I synced again with my XDA III, I realised that ActiveSync doesn't sync the "Other" numbers. So, on my PDA, it appears only the contact names, but not the phone numbers.
The only solution I found, is to change the field section in Outlook, for all the contacts, one by one, but that would be terrible for my over 400 contacts.

contacts, messenger and outlook - the 7th circle of hell

Hi there,
I got a WM6 phone full of contacts. I've been using the phone with Windows
Live and I have spent hours tidying up contacts with MSN live accounts and
so on.
As I reinstalled the OS on my PC, I deleted the partnership of my WM6 phone in order to start fresh. Everything works fine if wasn't for the fact that my existing contacts simply WON'T SYNC. I'm using Windows XP SP2 with Activesync 4.5.0 and Outlook 2007 (installing SP1 as I write this).
I tried to tick/untick the option to sync my contacts. All I got as a result is that ALL of my non live-enable contacts have been whiped out (yes, OUCH!)
If I create a new contact on the phone (outlook contact only) or on the PC the new contact will sync. But as for existing contacts they are simply ignored!
If I copy an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to modify an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to create a new Windows Live contact, IT WON'T SYNC
I tried to delete the profile and parterships to start fresh but I got no luck. Could someone please advise? I'm about to to flip out here!
Thank you all in advance!
Regards,
P

General contacts question

Ok here is a small question. I have added all of my old phone contacts to the phone contacts. But when I am using the Calender of my HTC Diamond ( which is basicly Outlook ) and set up a meeting, I am not able to add any contacts from the phone contacts. THe list of contacts it empty. So that means there is a phone contacts list and a outlook contact list.
Why? I mean shouldnt this all be handeled by windows mobile? Is there an easy way of getting the phone contacts to my outlook contacts? And will the outlook contacts work for calling somebody?
This just doesn't make any sense usability wise to me..
P.S.: Active sync only "sees" the outlook contacts , which are empty on my phone.
Hi,
please specify "phone contact". Are these one your SIM card? Because if not, they should be synced with your outlook contacts(in outlook, they should show in contacts now)
Otherwise you can just copy all sim contacts to your phone.
To answer your question, yes you can call outlook contacts with the phone, ofcourse after sync.
