Hi Guys,
I've noticed for a while and never got round to asking any one but I've asked a few guys in the office who also have Windows Mobile / Smartphone's and they seem to have the same issue.
The issue is that when you sync with your Work PC its fine and the Calendar keeps the Organiser and the Attendees.
But when you sync at home it will convert the Metting Organiser to yourself and then have an issue with attendess it doesn't know about.
One why for the second option is to add them to your contacts list but why does it change the Organiser? I wonder (not yet tested) if I add the meeting organisers to my Contacts list if that will fix it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks.

All,
I have recently installed TuMa1.3 ROM and have noticed that when using ActiveSync 4.1 I cant sync my contacts by categories like I could when using 2003SE, does anyone know why this is?
Thanks

contacts and categories in wm5
I wish I knew the logic to this omission. I use a common database on outlook 2002 for all of my contacts for the family including my business ones. My wife and two daughters also have windows phones. When they sync they only get the contacts relevent to them. This was a really good feature. Under wm5 this has been lost and i need to know if there is a real workaround. Also applies to calender items aswell. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Calander problem and other queries
Hi I have had an xda2i in the past and it all worked fine with the Calander. This week my newer model xdamini S broke down so I turned to the replacment xda2i i had been sent when the other one packed up and I just cant get it to recognise the calander. Its just not in the list. As you say contacts etc is there but Calander is not. The strange thing is when setting up connection you can choose to sync with calander, contacts etc which I select only to find that once the sync occurs Calander is just not in the list. Can anyone you had anyone help solving this?? Im using outlook 2003. Also the xda2i im using has not got the latest drivers I have looked for them on the 02 site but they dont seem to be their anymore. Finally, what does the radio version do anyway? Help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.
I know there are a few options out there for WM and Mac syncing, but need to know which ones work reliably with the Diamond for Calendars, Contacts. Pics, music and video would be good too.
Is The Missing Sync the best to get in this respect and has anyone tested with the Diamond ?
cheers in advance.
MissingSync works for me very well...
Cool thanks. Needed to know before buying it. New to the whole WM thing and getting my Diamond Weds with luck.
If anyone has a Diamond and a MacBook Pro, can you let me know if the Internet Sharing with PAN Bluetooth works and is reliable?
My current Hermes has a bad latency issue which seems to affect a lot of WM devices when tethered with the MacBook Pro / Airs.
Thanks
Aidan
Will give it a go later in the week if I get my Diamond ok on Weds. Mind you, will be fun being a new WM user trying to get it to work ;-)
Its a feature I'd like to be able to use.
It works well, still a bit slow tho, tried it the other day for fun.
You can go online alrite, dunno if it's where i was sitting but hte connection was slow
Any chance of a little tutorial chap ?
Could never get my Nokia N95 to work correctly.
Try it !!
Syncmate.
I use Sync Mate and its pretty good.
Will give it a go too.
Thanks.
Been having real issues with both SyncMate and Missing Sync.
Both do not sync correctly... I usually sync just one group out of Address Book (not the whole thing) and keep that up to date. 1st time I sync it works, subsequent times it insists on syncing all my contacts.
Calendar is also a bit flakey.
Running Mac OS X 10.5.4
Mark Space do not seem to warrant any pre sales support either so are of no help at all. Been waiting 3 days for a reply to my questions
Missing Sync does not work well.
Pictures of contacts are partly corrupt.
TF3D starts new, if i add a new favorite with some contacts.
Then i must delete the picture from this contact and add a new one, then TF3d will work.
(OSX10.5, Missing Sync 4.03, MacBook)
Hi, everytime i sync with missing sync i double my contacts anyone knows why?

First time, i sync the PDA with Missing Sync, in the options i switch on the button "MAC overwrites PDA". Then sync, then switch off the button and sync again. So it works at mine.

I am using Missing Sync WM 4.0.3 with Mac OS 10.5.4 and it is working fine but I have no picture attached to the contacts.
The first-time sync procedure I usually use is the following:
- launch iSync from the "Application" folder;
- reset the sync history in the iSync > Preferences menu;
- close iSync;
- launch Missing Sync WM;
- for each syncing plugin you need to use, select "Mac overrides Device", click "Debugging options" and then "Reset sync history";
- logout from your user session and login back again;
- connect your device as explained in the Missing Sync manual;
- enable detailed logging in Missing Sync preferences and display the log;
... then be very very careful ;-)
* click the "Sync" button at the top or at the bottom of the main Missing Sync window.
* some of the items selected for syncing will sync and some will not (look at the log during the syncing process). *Disable* the "Mac overrides Device" options for the successfully synced items. Repeat the two stared "*" steps until all the item are successfully synced...
- further synchronizations should run flawlessly.
Hope this helps... (be patient and good luck ;-)
[You may also want to sync a second Mac with your device but the procedure is a bit different and a bit more complex.]
mbp and missing sync works very well
correction !!!
i just tried, than i even bought syncmate, its far better, and nicer than pocketmac or missing sync ( wich i used for years, so i absolutely recommend syncmate now, wonderful !!
syncmate is great. It does what it is suppose to do (I've only tried contacts).
I've used only USB sync don't know if WIFI works.
Syncmate is also working for e, strangely enough only via the Wifi - Sync option, not via the USB cable (but i prefer the wireless link anyways).
You should be aware, that you have to install the syncmate - driver on your phone, or no connection will be possible
Hi folks,
I've recently noticed that my contacts are no longer syncing from my PC > mobile. I've noticed this because I've recently added two new contacts, and couldn't find them when I wanted to call them!
To give more info, my environment is: -
O/S: Vista, SP1
ROM: Stock T-Mobile Vario III, WM6
Office: 2007, using Outlook 2007
Additional notes: -
- sync up with 2 computers, but contacts only sync with the home one (calendar + tasks on both).
- Recently acquired a SE W880i of my brother for weekends, which syncs up with Outlook as well, via a SE program.
I've searched for an answer, and the only one that sounds reasonable is maybe the photo is too big, but the other contact doesn't have a pic, so most likely not the problem.
Many thanks in advance for the help! ^^
.... I take it take it's not a common problem, then?
OK, I've figured out a workaround, in case anyone else has this problem.
what I did on the PC was copy the details onto notepad, then delete the contact. My PPC then synced (as it was cradled), and made another copy of it out of spite! I then deleted the new contact, and it was deleted on both.
After this, I made a new contact and filled in the details again, pic and all, and it synced up all nice again! the other contacts also played nice, so all's good.
Note: I didn't have a problem with tasks nor calendar throughout, so Idon't know if it affected anything (most likely not in my case).
Hope that'll help anyone who had the same prob.
Thanks for sharing it with us.I also had the same problem...
Wondering if anyone can help!
Synced my outlook calendar across to the windows live one so that it would show up on handset which it does.
I decided to import some old calendar entries from up to two years ago into my windows live calendar which show up OK on my PC windows live calendar but they have never synced over to my HD7 windows live calendar.
Becoming a bit of a mystery as all my new appointments sync over OK to mobile.
There may be a setting to limit how far back to sync. There is for email.
I’m not syncing a calendar so can't check for you but go into your phone's Windows Live settings.
Well, I have gone into Windows Live settings on mobile and there is an option for email which I have now changed from 1 month to anytime so now all my hotmail emails have synced all the way back in time to my handset.
There seems to be no option for calendar entries so we seem to have no control over this, I hope I am wrong though. Anyway my old calendar entries still have not synced over to mobile which is a pity.
Check Windows Live to see if there's a setting there.
Checked Windows Live, still nothing there settings wise.
Same Problem
I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.
Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.
Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.
Has anyone facing sync issues?
Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.
I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.
Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.
Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?
It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.
I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7
Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?
yes you can get past appointments also.
just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.
it worked with me

how did you do this? I cant find a way to sync them up!

Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.
Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.
Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)
Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.
Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.
Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.

update from my post above...
I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.
Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...
1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...
2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.
The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now
Can anyone help please?
