Syncing contacts in Vista

[funny keyboard]

Has anybody got any ideas?

My VISTA Windows Mobile Device Centre can see my blue angel, I can click on the file management and look round my device, but it will not sync with my Microsoft Office outlook files.

In the past it would just say it had synced, when it hadn't actually done anything. And now on a laptop it seems to be trying to synced for ever. But when I tell it to sync on the pocket PC it says "waiting for network".

[funny keyboard]

Is there anybody having no problems using vista mobile device centre and windows pocket PC 6.1?

[asmanthebell]

i had the same problem today it was easily solved just by rehitting the sync button, do you connect over bluetooth, wifi or usb?

[funny keyboard]

I am connecting using the USB stand.

I must have hit the sync button about 100 times.: (

This is very strange, because it has just partially synced. The story is this, because there is no contacts ON my telephone I had created a couple, and no matter how many times I have tried contacts haven't synced. Anyway this morning I was just creating a note for myself. I went into the windows mobile device centre/mobile device settings/change content sync settings, and de-selected everything, but then selected notes for the first time. Miraculously, not only did the notes from my telephone go on my laptop, all the notes on my laptop (in Microsoft Office outlook) went on to my telephone. I thought I had cracked it, selected contacts to see if that would sync, but no joy. :( this really is a mystery.

So I thought I will tell it to sync files, you know where it create a directory on your desktop, well that has also worked. All of the files on my pocket PC have been copied into a directory on my desktop. But sadly, still contacts etc. will not sync.:eek:

This may be a foolish question but do you have your phone contacts saved on to your sim card or have you converted them to your phone memory. Also have you tried creating a new contact using Microsoft Outlook and then syncing

No I don't have them on my sim, I have no contacts are my telephone, I'm trying to get them to sync with the contacts I have in Microsoft Office outlook.

I have tried creating new contacts, new tasks, in both the telephone and Microsoft Office outlook and then syncing, no joy.

Thanks very much for your kind effort.

I cannot imagine why the files and the notes would sync, and the contacts, calendar and the tasks won't, but here is some other information.

When I click on the activesync on my pocket PC it it says "waiting for network". When I go on the menu and click on status " result: the server could not be me. These can be caused by temporary network conditions." When I click on "view support code" I get "support code:0x80072eff".


Any other suggestions welcome, thanks for his help so far.

Just a thought, as a shortcut to this problem, is it possible to create a file from Microsoft Office outlook of my contacts, which I can import into contacts on my pocket PC?

If so;

What would the format of the files need to be?
Where would I need to place in my pocket PC?
How would I team put into contacts on my pocket PC?

[funny keyboard]

Still got this same problem, the notes and the files will sync, for the other items such as contacts will not synchronise. Still getting this;

I have noticed in the communication manager there "data connection" option is grey, and I am unable to select "on".

I am wondering is there some kind of security issue with Microsoft Office outlook 2007? It does seem very strange that it is synchronising the notes and other files, but not the rest of the stuff

Data Connection in the Comms Mnager is for your GPRS connection. and is greyed out if there is no live connection.

Looks like we have the same disease. I installed the new Manila 2.5 on my P3450, and it's a beauty.

But ever since, it just won't sync with my MS Outlook 2007.

Running Vista Ultimate SP1 with every possible update, and now it got worse, I reinstalled the WMDC again, and now, every time I plug my Elf to the PC the WMDC crashes.

The way I see it, must be a bug either on my Windows or the WMDC itself.

If I find out anything I'll post it as soon as I find out.

I was having a similar problem which was being caused by a third party contact manager. (iContact Burt Edition 6.3.1) The upgrade to his new 6.4 solved it for me.

Hope it helps.
