ActiveSync Question

[met3ora]

Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.

I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.

How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.

Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.

Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.

Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.

Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device. :)

I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.

Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...

May work? :)

I tried both.

I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all?? :confused:

It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.

edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.

I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).

So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync

So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.

Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.

Syncs perfectly now

I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07

I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.

Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.

Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.

I hope this helps.
