Alright so from all the research I did about finding a solution to put my contact's birthday's into my calendar, Outlook is definetly required? I guess it must've slipped my mind somehow that Outlook was necessary, 'cause I never noticed it until I upgraded to WM6 and found that, with a week outside of updating to a non-outlook PC.
So is it true? That Outlook is the one who was giving me all those happy reminders of birthdays and anniversaries? Or is my neverending search for some registry key will continue for months to come?
like on pc outlook include calender, contacts and mailbox
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.
After synching laptop to Tilt with Outlook 2007, the birthdate of people in the contacts shows up on the Tilt as one day earlier than the day recorded on the laptop. Anybody else experience this problem.
My problem is almost the same.
Flashed my BlueAngel to WM6.1 and now birthday and anniversary fields in Outlook XP and PocketOutlook (contacts and calendar) are set one day early.
The really funny part is, that in thunderbird (synced with birdiesync) I have the right dates in addressbook, but not in the lightning calendar as reminders.
Any solution for this?
Please check the timezone on your Laptop / PC and your phone.
ActiveSync changes appointments and other times based on the difference in timezones so they would actually appear "on time".
If there is a large enough difference between PC and Phone they may shift a whole day.
Also please avoid posting questions in the news forum. It is for news only!
Hi all. I hope someone out there can help me. I am having a big headache with outlook at the moment. I am using a T-mobile touch plus with Outlook 2007 since Febuary and have had no problems with the device syncing using Activesync. Within the last week I plugged my touch in and Active sync said that I need to resync all contacts, I have no idea why, and when it synced it left out almost half the contacts. I have looked through all the contacts that didn't sync and can not see any pattern in why they haven't synced and other have. I don't think that I have changed anything on the phone, outlook or activesync. The contacts still exist in outlook. Activesync 4.5 has no settings for contacts to choose what to sync. I have tried to play with the catorgries to see if that made any difference. All the contacts are in the same contact folder as I only have one personal folder. I can not figure it out, and would love some help as I have lost all the usefull contacts on my phone. Please help!!! Cheers in advanced
I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 to sync my TytnII.
Some of my contacts has a birthday entry, that is also scheduled in my calendar.
The problem is that I get reminded of these birthdays 23H45 the previous day.
I cannot seem to find a place to set the time for these reminders.
It's very annoying. Can someone please help ?
