How to synchronize PDA with two PCs ??

Hello
Sorry if this is obvious for some people or can be found already at the forum, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
I would like to synchronize my PDA (HTC TyTN) with two PCs, one in my home and second in my office. Is that possible at all?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It is, except for Outlook mail.

Do you mean that I could synchronize everything (f.e. contacts, calendar) with two PCs except for e-mails?? That's what I want to do. Mostly those two things above. How I can do that? When I'm connecting my PDA to 2nd computer i can choose what I want to synchronize, but f.e. contacts, calendar are greyed out! So is there a solution?

i sync with my work and home computer no problems

ok so maybe you could tell me something more about it? how can I do that? Like I said when I'm connecting to 2nd PC some items are greyed out.

yeah i sync with my Work laptop and Home pc fine, one has to be the better of the 2 so i use my laptop as the main sync.
Home is just for favourites and passthru

OK so is that possible at all to organize contacts and calendar at work and in home as well? Both are desktop PCs so it would be hard for me to carry one of them around

Transfer contacts from Nokia 6600 to MDA II(Sorry if it has been answered earlier)

Hi,
Need to know as to how to transfer contacts from my Nokia 6600 to MDA II. I tried all Forums but couldn't find a solution for the same. Should we do it manually or do we have a tool to do the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sync both with outlook would prob work

I used PC Suite for Nokia 6600 to Sync it with Outlook, and the end result was disgusting all i got was my Outlook contacts getting added to my Nokia I had to manually delete them all over again. I repeat, Is there a way to transfer my Phone contacts from Nokia 6600 to my MDA II.

I did this some few years back and cannot remember exactly and I can't re-try it now.
From my memory in my head, Sync the Nokia with PC (not outlook, just normal sync) is step 1, and I think you search the Nokia directories, you should able to see your contacts are all in *.VCF format or somehow it could be exported to *.vcf format.
Copy all this *.vcf files to your hardisk.
You can either double click on this *.vcf files one by one in
1. PC and it goes to your outlook which you can sync with PPC later or
2. PPC and it goes to Contact.
Hope my memory is still correct. Good Luck.
Something which I never tried, Infra-red or Bluetooth the 2 device directly?

As Rudegar suggested, did some R&D and was finally able to transfer them All.....Yippeeeeeeeeee > I had a Question here, which takes precedence when we Sync up the MDA, the Outlook contacts or the Phone contacts. For e.g., I delete a contact from my Phone and do a Sync, will it get deleted from Outlook or will be re-instated from Outlook????? or do we have a setting wherein we can choose what to do???? Any thoughts folks.....

For PPC Phone, which Contact to keep can be set on both PPC & PC. Make sure both side is the same. Else both will get confused.

I believe you can't have 2 devices connected and syncronized at the same time so what you would have to do is go to connection settings and remove the option to sync contacts. Instead I would reccomend PIM Backup which backs up your contacts to your storage card and you dont have to worry about your contacts getting mixed up with your wifes.

I guess you just have to have 2 separate XP sessions.

i have my wizard and my girlfriends hx2495 connected to the same computer. i just set up two different users that utilize different outlook profiles.

That sounds like a good idea, fortunately I only have one device to sync and don't have to worry about that. But once I get my new phone and give the wife this one then we might have a problem.

Transfering Contacts from Sony Ericsson P1 into HTC Touch Pro

Hello friends .
Can somebody please clarify how to do this :
I have about more than 1100 contacts on my Sony Ericsson P1i phone and many of them has a second or third Mobile Phones under same contact.
When I transfer these to HTC Touch Pro (or any WM device) only 1 of the Mobile phones is transferred.
The same thing applies to other fields too , if the person has 3 home numbers only 1 or 2 of them get stored under outlook.
Can you please explain if there is a work around for this . Or maybe any 3rd party software ?
Thanks
YG

How are you transferring them? Are you using Outlook or some other method?

Well since I have around 1100 contacts , I guess it would be difficult to tranfer them 1 by 1 by bluetooth.
However, even if I did that , The 2nd and 3rd mobile phones get lost during transfer.
I'm guessing that the best way would be that I transfer all contacts from P1i to PC by using SE P1i's syncronising tool PC SUITE to Microsoft Outlook.
I did that already but all of the second mobile phones were already lost.... I thought of correcting them on Outlook but I could not find a way to rename fields on Outlook.
I'm OK with Outlook, or I also OK with another 3rd party software .
Any ideas please ?

Hi,
I've the same thing. You need to use "Float Mobile agent":
http://fma.sourceforge.net/
Sync it with your SonyEricsson phone to have all the contacts in the computer. Then export the contacts from the float interface into outlook and sync Touch Pro with ActiveSync.
You should now have all these contacts in your touch pro

Wow ,,,,,, My mouth is already watering I can't wait to test it )))
EDIT : I downloaded the program ans installed it. However when I connect the Sony Ericsson P1, it's reading my contacts 1 person per telephone number.
This means If I have for example Michael A . It creates 3 entries for Michael A if he has 3 phones. it should be 1 only, I have also signed in the forum but each forum is protected by Password, so I can't view Outlook SYNC problems forum. How do I write my contacts to Outlook ?

I had that problem previously. Which is why I have more than one listing for people who have more than one cellphone. E.g. John Smith-Globe and John Smith-Smart.
It was the only way I can easily transfer my contacts between phones without any problems. So I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.

You can't have more than 1 mobile number per contact with WM so you will have to change the name of your contacts that have more than one number otherwise you will lose them.
It sucks but it is the only way and I do not think any software will do this for you.
Cheers

Can't Microsoft imagine that a person might have 2 more more cell phones ??
How stupid is that ???

Thanks for the reply
However this FMA only allows me to have 1 telephone number for each contact. No matter if work phone or mobile phone, so I have multiple entries if my contact has multiple numbers. I can not see all numbers under same contact.
What do I have to do ? Is yours like this as well ?

do you have the latest outlook ? (2007? or something?) I had no problems converting p990i>TP with newest pc suite, outlook 2007 and activesync...

I'm sure you have errors in your vontacts that you have not noticed yet.
See your contacts and see if any of your contacts have 2 or more mobile phone numbers stored.
Or maybe by chance all your contacts have only one mobile phone
Now I'm almost sure it's impossible to do , I wish somebody could prove me wrong...

If I might just add, there is one other way you transfer your contacts from your P1 to your windows mobile device. Setup yourself a Mail2Web Account up, and then grab activesync software for your phone. Then synchronize your contacts with the online exchange and then you have a handy backup of all 1100 contacts. I personally would hate to lose them, this just gives you the extra assurance. I'm not certain if the P1 has, but it takes the hassle out of migrating. This method can also be used when upgrading your ROM.

Hi Thanks but Sont Ericsson guys really gave a thought on that subject.
I can back up-copy all or seperate contacts , on PC , on Micro SD card
So I have no worries on that

contact issue
i hav same prob. i transferred cont from my n73 to htc touch, it was working well. unfortunately after install some third party application, i don't know which one, it see only 1 number lost all other numbers. any solution pls..

I also have a P1i and I bought the Touch Pro 1 month ago. But I am still using the P1i!! I didn't even tried to import the contacts yet, because the Touch Pro is very buggy to use daily.

Transfer contacts to nokia

hi everyone.
i have to give my vox to the service station due to the ear piece not working. in the meantime i am using my sibling's nokia phone .
i want to know how can i go about transferring the contacts (only) from the s710 to the nokia?
i know one way is through the activesync n nokia pc suite using the Outlook as backup medium but i don't want to setup an email account on my pc so lets skip this step please.

I dont think you need to set up an email account to use outlook. Even with my vox, i did not set up email with outlook and i can sync calendar and address without an issue.

you do not need to configure a mail account to sync contacts or calender. trust me, I did it all the time. however how you get them synced to Nokia is not my cup of tea .

Use the SIM Luke...
LOL, the same thing happened to me. I gave in the s710 to have the earpiece repaired and used an old nokia in it's place.
If you go ot SIM tools and copy all the numbers to the SIM card, that should carry over all your contacts when you put it in the new phone. The s710 insists on copying the numbers in the format of "surname_firstname", which is annoying, but presumably you just need to put up with it for a few days till yours is repaired.

thanks guys .. .... all sorted . used the outlook anyways.
