My issue is as follows:
I use an i-mate JAQ (unfortunate me ) which runs Windows Mobile 5..
Since the joystick button got damaged, it will continuously give "OK" as it is pressed permanently..
When browsing thru some settings, it accidentally went into Factory Reset and gave Reset, and the design is such that, the warning Dialogue box had its Default Select View on OK and alas.. all my CONTACTS is gone (i luckily had a SPB backup for my sms and emails)..
I Synchronize my PPC daily to my PC and my PPC name before resetting is "ranjith_asp".. Now after resetting, imy mobile is recognized as a Guest by AutoSync..
I gave a new name to my PPC in its settings.. "ranjith_asp2" as I think if I give my old name, then if i connect to PC, AutoSync it will automatically synchronize and will delete all contacts in PC as my mobile has nothing now..
Can anyone help how can I retrieve all my contacts...

I'm using Thinkpad T60 Vista.
Yesterday, All the sudden both of them didn't want to sync anymore. I have to delete partnership and setup a new partnership.
TODAY, after synchronizing, all my contacts and calendars, tasks disappeared.
When I tried to sync back to my laptop, a dialog box popped upasking me to make a new partnership.
Any clue why this happens? It's so scary on so weird.
Is it the WMDC or the Vista or Mobile 6 Jwright version? I don't really have any clue at the moment.
Thanks
Ok I am able to narrow the problem better now.
Whenever I leave my Dopod 900 synced connected with my laptop and when there is a phone call coming in then I proceed to unplug the usb to pick up the phone, This may result in some sort of data corruption in syncing status, I think. Because after that, when I try to re-synhronize the dopod 900 again, it would try to synchronize from ground 0, so it will delete every synchronized data such as contacts, tasks, calendar in my Dopod 900 and re-transfer from desktop computer into this device all over again.
This is very scary and unacceptable. Could anybody else replicate this problem?
Thanks
Bad bad bad!! I'm using final version of Vista, Final version Office 2007, and Dopod 900 Windows Mobile 6 Jwright.
if you open outlook 2007 and then write your contact and then in notes just write something.., after you finished synchronizing, the contact was successfully copied onto the Dopod 900, but the the note didn't get copied!
If you write the notes within the contacts under Dopod 900, and then synchronizing it, the note within contact would be copied back onto computer with no problem. so it's only the other way around the problem
Same problem
I am having the same problem. Exactly. Did you manage to find a solution or workaround, excepet being force to only change notes on the PDA? This is so annoying and absurd.
I am now getting the following bizarre message: "Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again."

I was able to fix it by going to Settings > Connections and
Opening the "USB to PC" dialog window and taking out the check of "Enable advanced network functionality"

Everything now is OK.
I had the 'Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again' error message. Finally cured it by deleting duplicates in calendar and duplicates in notes, deleting the partnership on the device and on PC, since then everything is syncing fine.

Can you kindly tell me the steps how you managed to cure it?
What do you mean by deleting duplicates?
Thanks
Hi all
I just got round to installing activesync on my new PC and started setting up the sync settings, but accidently managed to sync an empty copy of outlook with my phone (HTC Hermes running Schap's 4.00) which instantly wiped out all my contacts. I don't have easy access to the old pc to restore them from there, is there any way to restore them on the phone itself?
Any help will be most greatfully received
i just got the at&t fuze as an upgrade from the tilt (kaiser) i have all my contacts on my computer but i cannot get it to sync onto the phone. i also have my latest backup file created with sprite backup but when i go to restore it tells me that i need some sort of "sbu" file to go from the old version of sprite to the new one on the fuze.
i would prefer to get all my old text messages back as well as my contacts by using the backup but it would be fine if i could just get it sync'd with outlook. please, can someone help me.
and yes befoe you flame me i have searched the forums but have come up short of a solution.
AFAIK, Sprite won't restore because you have a different device.
SPB backup works for inter-device restorals but only for PIM data.
FYI, PIM restorals will make manila function incorrectly. I suggest using Microsoft My Phone to back up and restore PINM data.
Can you sync through WMDC?
If you can sync but outlook is not syncing, its in your sync settings.
WMDC? Windows media? yes it will let me sync thru that, at least it shows up in the sync center anyway. i dont use my phone for playing music, i have tried installing the old acticesync 4.5 driver, tried turning off the advanced network functionality and i cant remember what else, name off some things and i'll let you know if i've tried them.
one thing i just noticed is that it shows up under portable devices as a windows mobile device
WMDC, Windows Mobile Device Center replaced active sync in Vista.
If you can see your device in WMDC, then you should be able to set up your outlook sync relationship through there.
I have sync'd to outlook this way previously but I only have POP3 going into outlook so I just bypass it.
when i open wmdc all it shows me is the settings window that lets you change settings like allow usb connections, whether to accept connections from bluetooth or com3 etc. i cant get it to show me anything else
SOLVED, i found a link to a tutorial that fixed it all. here http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/11/22/how-to-sync-your-windows-mobile-device-to-a-windows-vista-pc/
ActiveSync - intermittent problem with "retrieving settings"
I have this problem now on my Touch Pro. I have also had it on my Kaiser. This is an intermittent problem where - occasionally and unpredictably - when I connect my phone to my pc, I get an error when the pc attempts to "retrieve settings" from my pocket pc. It fails to do so, and then only allows me to access files on the PPC, no syncing possible after I go through a setup screen.
The fix for this is simple but time consuming: On the PPC I do menu -> options and then delete the device (pairing) there. On the PC, I remove Activesync and reinstall it. When both of these are completed, I reconnect everything up, go through the setup screens and all is well. Until it happend again.
I am using AS 4.5 on a PC with XP. My PPC uses 6.1 (The Kaiser was 6.0). I will also add that I have LOTS to sync in outlook:
400 contacts
7000 Agenda entries
100 Todos
20 notes
I have - actually over the last 2 years! - searched for a solution, I have searched these pages, googled, etc, etc. I see lots of people have more permanent problems with activesync connectivity, but my problem is different: I could be fine for about a month and then have a problem for no apparent reason.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know what happens when the activesync program on the pc says "retrieving settings"? Is it looking in the PPC registry or at a file used for activesyncing (e.g \pim.vol - mine is over 19MB)?
I am happy to go poking around in either devices registry, and will look at all suggestions.
I would
uninstall activesync
and go to regedit and remove everything related to activesync
reinstall it sync everything
hardreset the pda
and sync it again so it get all data from outlook that would
fix the pim being that big

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, in the past I have also manually deleted the pim file - without sucess.
I would guess the problem is down to the volume of data I'm syncing and that something is just getting confused occasionally. If this is the pim file then the only solution is my own rather brutal one. But maybe its just a control file or registry setting gone bad - any ideas?
I have effectively done a hard reset with my move to a touch pro and, in any case, don't want to spend days reinstalling everything !
Oh, and some final thoughts:
o This happened more often on the Kaiser - possibly due to its much slower USB speeds?
o Every time it happens I loose all my speed dials in my phone- aaarrrggghh!
Anyone have "insider knowledge" of what's going on?
Hi,
I' ve just performed a clean installation of Windows 7 on my laptop.
I subsequently tried to sync my contacts and calendar fron TD2 using Mobile Device Center. It showed synchronization was performed but nothing has changed ! My Outlook (Contacts-Calendar) is still empty!

Pls Help!

Check your sync settings for each item and make sure its set to "replace item on device" if there's a conflict. You should be able to get to these settings through active sync on your device.
I would suggest using gmail, upload all of your calendar and contacts, and set up google as yor exchange server using m.google.com as server address.
That way you can sync up remotely after hard reset etc.
