[resolved] Please help: How to copy contacts from outlook to phone? - General Questions and Answers

Before you write "ActiveSync" read the following:
When setting up ActiveSync i checked contacts by mistake, so all my phone contacts were copied to outlook. When I tried to uncheck contacts from sync options, it said "all your contacts will be deleted from phone" so i clicked cancel and decided to delete device from ActiveSync and setup new partnership without contacts instead.
The problem is that the phone deleted all the contacts anyway after first sync with the fresh ActiveSync partnership!! And worst, when syncing with microsoft myphone, it deleted them from there as well!!!
So now the all my contacts are in outlook (where i didn't want them to be in the first place).
What i want to do is transfer them back to the phone but without synchronization otherwise i'll be back to square 1 and as soon as i delete that partnership they'll be gone!

I found a workaround:
1) create sync partnership with active sync including contacts
2) sync contacts back to phone
3) PIM Backup contacts
4) remove contacts from ActiveSync sync options (which will indeed delete all contacts from phone)
5) restore backed up contacts with PIM

Contacts not synching on 2nd PC

I have set up 3 relationships:
Home PC (WXP, AS45)
Exchange service (mail2web.com)
Work PC (WXP, AS45)
My home PC syncs fine, Exchange works fine, but on my work PC I first got several empty Contacts in Outlook (which were then synced back to the phone) and now after deleting them, AS shows all of my 87 contacts are in sync, but I don't see any single one of them in Outlook.
Adding a new contact on Desktop works: the contact gets synced to the phone.
Adding a contact on the Phone, doesn't work: an empty contact shows up in Outlook...
Anyone else had such problems? Any solution?

Contacts sync with another phone?

Is there any way of sending ALL contacts to another phone via bluetooth? Unfortunately outlook isn't an option for me (only have that via work, and the corporate policy doesn't allow connection of personal phones).
On (some) other phones you can select all contacts and send via bluetooth - I can't find any similar option on my Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
well there are programs which sync with windows live as in hotmail and with gmail too
or you can sync with a home pc with outlook and activesync
or use a backup program

HTC Touch Pro: adding contact from Outlook 2003

Hello,
I have ticked the box to add my contacts, in activesync, but all I get are the contacts on my SIM card. How can I get my Outlook contacts onto my device?
Thank you
Did you see that the contacts were synchronized? you can see the status of the synchronization in activesync on your device while it's syncing.
Hi,
Yes, everything seems to sync ok, and the green dasshes flow from left to right.
However, I only have my SIM CARD contacts on my Touch Pro. The OUTLOOK contacts are not there.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

[Q] How to sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com

How do i sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com ?
I can log in to htcsense.com and make my phone ring and i can lock the phone.
But i want the rest that is shown in this video.

I don't know when they stopped having it look like that, but I think it automatically syncs.
I exchanged my Sensation today & when I signed in the my htcsense account on my phone it started to sync the contacts & texts back to my phone. I really wish there was a way to disable it actually.
You can disable sync, but then you will not be able to track your phone i guess.
I don't understand why i can't see all options.
If I'm going to do a hard reset, then i want to know if my data is in sync with htcsense.com or not...
see that's what sucks. I'd like it to be synced to htcsense, but I don't want my contacts/sms synced. i hope they fix that. right now if I sync it up then it will pull down my contacts & there will be duplicates which I don't want.
After sync with htcsense.com, I did a hard reset of the phone.
The contacts and the messages was not restored to my phone when i again performed a sync with htcsense.com
There was no important sms on my phone and i had all my contacts synchronized with gmail, so no problem losing it.
Apps was not restored when logging on to marked.
