MS outlook CONTACTS & syncing problems to iphone
At first I was unaware Outlook had disabled "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" - also known as the file "OutlookSyncClient.dll". Luckily, I came across this thread. Sure enough, under "Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options > COM Add-Ins" there were two Apple plug-ins: "iTunes Outlook Addin" was checkmarked but "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" was not. No matter what I did,I could not get this plug-in to stay checkmarked.
I went to "Help > About Microsoft Outlook > Disabled Items" and found "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" had been DISABLED by Outlook. When I re-activated it, Outlook CRASHED, prompting me to disable the plug-in in order for Outlook to operate correctly. Obviously something was very wrong, here.
After reading other's comments and suggestions on this thread, my solution was to save an export of my data to another ".pst" data file. I first copied my original file ("Outlook.pst" located in "C: Documents and Settings/(user)/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook") into a new folder I called "BACKUP" just in case something went wrong. Then I made a new folder called "EXPORT".
I then exported my data by way of "File > Import and Export > Export to a file > Personal Folder File (.pst)". Making sure to save it off to my "EXPORT" folder, I named it "Outlook.pst" -- just like the original.
Now the big moment: I SHUT DOWN Outlook and copied the exported file in "EXPORT" to the same folder as the original - replacing the original file. Open Outlook and all my contact and calendar data came up fine. Time to RE-ACTIVATE "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" by way of "Help > About Microsoft Outlook" in the menu and clicking on the "Disabled Items" button. When I did, Outlook didn't crash! Everything seems to load fine now.
Time to Load up iTunes, plug in my iPhone, and the sync my calendar. iTunes Sync works flawlessly! All my Outlook calendar info is now on my iPhone and I'm good-to go. I've tried this several times and the issue seems to be completely resolved. Thanks guys for all of your advice! Hopefully this thread will help others out as well.
---------------------------------------
Many are looking the step like in MSactivesync to sync their outlook contacts into their Iphone. I will post different ways that became successful for some iphone users.
------------------------------
Outlook 2003
1.) Within outlook, click help>check for updates
After you ensure you have the latest updates, try and and sync again. If this doesn't work, go to step 2.
2.) Within outlook, click help>detect and repair
**Note, make sure you have backed up all your contacts and calender.
Once this is complete, ur contacts is on ur iphone already
(not all are succesfull on this way)
----------------------------------
or TRY THIS (BETTER WAY)
Once Outlook 2003 has disabled the Apple Sync Add In:
Click on HELP, select Disable Items, select the Apple Sync Add In and click ENABLE.
Next click on TOOLS, OPTIONS and select the OTHER tab, click on ADVANCED OPTIONS, click on COM Add-Ins…deselect both Apple Add-Ins, click OK.
CLOSE Outlook.
Connect iPhone.
Once iPhone is connected to iTunes, select the iPhone and launch Outlook.
Next click on TOOLS, OPTIONS and select the OTHER tab, click on ADVANCED OPTIONS, click on COM Add-Ins…Select both Apple Add-Ins, click OK.
Return to iTunes and click SYNC.
Once iPhone SYNC is complete, return to Outlook and deselect both Apple Add-Ins until the next time.
--------------------------------------
Simple WAY:
Go to Outlook. On menu, go to Tools/Options. Pick the Other tab, then Advanced Options. Look for COM Add-Ins and select the two Itunes choices.
----------------------------------
Other way to sync Contacts:
Sign up for a yahoo account and once there input all of your outlook contacts into Yahoo contacts. When synching the iPhone choose Yahoo as the contact source. You will be prompted for your yahoo id and password.
-----------------------------------
Better to have an OLD VERSION OF ITUNES if you have UNLOCKED IPHONE 1.0.2 this will help to solve problems of SYNCING

Just download ibrick, use the exe command, connect ur iphone and go for installation. u need to restart ur iphone also for 2x (this will be done only for the first time after PXL file patched to ur iphone). then on installation open a program(in PXL file type) u want to install thru ur file explorer in ur PC.

whats an iphone thread doing in xda-developers??
kyphur said:
XDA Users, this thread was allowed to stay but moved into "Off-Topic" by the Moderators.
It was deemed off-topic for obvious reasons but there is not a policy to ban posts about non HTC Devices. Instead they are moved into off-topic.
Please let's play nice and not pollute this thread with iPhone bashing etc. There indeed is propably more than 1 HTC Device owner who also has an iPhone

Well since the title says about iphone - problems and solutions, it means that we can discuss about the problems right?
Hmm, let me start with the phone itself. Of course people already know about lots of problems with the hardware (no button, no physical keyboard, no 3g, no video call cam, no change battery, no expendable memories), the software (not compatible with java, flash, have to use itunes) and the attitude of apple (asia release in 2008 - what the hell with that? they think that asia is not advance enough in mobile phone industries that they have to sell a device that is technologically 2 years behind now to an area that is at least 5-years ahead of in the mobile business?sell it with initially $600 and later dropped the price nearly $200?). Well there are lots more about the problems recently (bricking all the phones that uses third party app) therefore it is not worth to mentioned them here because peopledevelopers here can't help with these problems too.
Solutions: I am well aware that this is off topic forum, but iphone is not meant to be discussed in a forum that is dedicated for smartphones and just wait until all the feature that can enable it to be called as smartphone or get one of the smartphone and happily discussed about it here.
for about 2 year prior to iphone release almost everybody was going nuts how to copy the iphone looks and maybe the feel including me on my old ipaq,8125,8525,Kaiser..ect...now....when its here you all cry about it.well offcourse pocketpc can do much more.but. this is not the idea .this another phone "smart phone" and thats how we need to treat it. forget all the ego stuff for a moment .apple its better then PC fact. no one say anything about it and i dont care. whats important now its that people with iphone all use to have pocketpc and love to share there problem in this furom and now with the iphone they/ I all want to keep share and exchange problem and soultions..so seat back relax enjoy and maybe help if you can ...its all good.
WHAT HAPPEN NOW ON MY REQUEST? nothing :-( tsk tsk.. seems THIS IS THE ONLY IPHONE THREAD THAT MOVED TO OFF TOPIC...there is a lot there in GENERAL THREAD.
Im not comfortable with some people here NOW

just try to browse this site and read all programs that suite your wants. next time i will discuss some of my favorite program.
Sir,
The thread you pointed to in the below quote is not an iPhone thread. It is in fact about how to accomplish the iPhone look & feel (somewhat) on a Windows Mobile Device.
The iPhone isn't even a Windows Mobile device therefore this thread does belong in the Off-Topic Section.
Also before you bash a Moderator for moving your thread think about it. As Mods we do not work alone. Moves, Bans and Thread Closures are discussed with the other Mods and even the Site Admin. Your thread is no different and the Mods seem to agree that Since the iPhone in not only a non-HTC device but also of a differing OS (Apple OS X) it is indeed off-topic. Remember this site is dedicated to HTC WM Devices to technically everything else is off-topic.
I will point-out that the alternative would have been to delete the thread entirely but you were shown the respect of preserving your thread by having it moved to the appropriate forum. This is more respect than you have shown the XDA-Devs community in general with your little statement in the OP, "so dont question me". Nobody here is beyond reproach, even the Mods have to answer to the community as a whole.

I got your point. I understand and i still respect it. But you did not answer the other issue why other iphone related topic is on that forum and only this thread was move to this off topic forum. Anyway, i dont want to make this issue long and i hope with this "little statement", you dont feel bad . Mr TAURUSBULLBA give me a message privately and explain more details now. So its fine. He told me that he will update me about the decision. So ill just keep quiet for a while on this thread until everything becomes clear. Thanks for giving attention on this matter. Cheers!

I thought I was pretty clear on that but I'll repeat myself.
The thread you pointed to is not about the iPhone. It is about how to make a Windows Mobile Device Look & Feel similiar to iPhone. Thus it is a Windows Mobile issue (relating to installing themes/skins and software ON A WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE).
If you PM any of the Moderators with threads that are specifically about the iPhone (Hardware or Software) then they will also be moved. THis does not include threads which offer a comparison between iPhone & Windows Mobile Devices as they are relevant and on-topic to General Windows Mobile Discussion.
So in review:
Making your Windows Mobile Device look like iPhone is WM related topic.
Comparison of iPhone & Windows Moble Devices is WM related topic.
iPhone specific topics such as how to do this or that to your iPhone is now WM related.
I seriously don't know how I can be clearer on that.
One more note: Posting a Private Message that you sent or received without at least notifying (really you should ask permission except in certian extreme cases) is really tacky. It is intended to be a PRIVATE communication as the name implies.
Keep the thread alive!
Hi Guys,
I have just got an iphone after having used smartphones and pocket pc's for the last 2-3 years.
I still own a HTC Trinity and love its versatility and the GPS chip capabilities with TomTom etc... but I really like the iphone's style and ease of use. There is no fiddly slide out keyboard to try and text with, instead the text is easily added by fingertip touch on a very sensitive touch screen. The screen is very large and very clear at 480 x 320 and it is also a very thin device and nice to look at.
I would really like to be able to add 3rd party software and applications to it but I am waiting until the 'iBrickr' software is developed to enable this for the 1.1.1 firmware version of iphones. The 1.0.2 version is already unlocked and working well I hear.
So it is important to keep this thread running to hear from other iphone users and their experiences etc...
Cheers!
Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

hello everybody,
its my first post and i'm trying to get help about manging notes. i've looked in other forums, used seach here, and i couln't find what any answer suitable.
the thing is that i use notes for my work a lot, but after a while i get stuck with lots of them that may be useful in the future but not right now. so i woukd like to know if there is a way (software) that would let store them by topic or any other form. i've read that we can't even read them in vista (pwi files).
the note option is great, after acaal you make one and it stores the contact and tima, but afterward you can only store them together.
thank you for your help.
filipe
If you have a full MS Offiice installation, check out OneNote. It will let you catagorize and sort to your hearts content. I am using Evernote, which I like it beacuse it is very searchable. You can even search for text in an uploaded image. If you are talking about the call notes, you might want to invest in a CRM program such as ACT.
I hope this helps
Is it possible to recover them somehow?
No help?
There is a forum rule about frequently bumping your posts. It kind of makes me want to just ignore you, or post something snarky, when your first post is in the middle of the night (here in the US) and the bump complaining that we aren't answering is before I get home from work...
Anyhow, the WP8 SMS backup feature stores them on SkyDrive (excuse me, OneDrive) somewhere; I don't remember where but I believe somebody found them before. Of course, then you need a way to import that data into your Android device. I have no idea how hard that is to do, or whether there's already an existing utility for it or not... this is, after all, a WP8 forum, not an Android forum.
