I've got a .pst file that contains contacts I would like to get on my windows mobile 6 phone. Its the tmobile Wing (which I think is the herald), I've got the contacts IN my outlook addresses already, and when I do the activesync it never ends up showing on my phone.
So whats the easiest way to get all my contacts into my new phone?

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??
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.
same problem with AS
same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.
but when its done. nothing seem to be copied
i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...
i havent try with other rom nor other ver outlook
i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful
regards
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
sync problem with tilt
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.

If I do this will I lose all the contact on my phone? Sim?
also what file is this: Activesync association......which file do I delete?
So here's my quandry. My PC crashed with all of my contacts on it. Fortunately, my Kaiser is quite healthy. So I bought a new PC with Vista on it and would like to transfer my contacts from the Kaiser to the PC.
Microsoft, on the other hand, had other ideas. Despite coming with a Contacts program in Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center won't let my sync to it, I must sync to Outlook. I don't like spending hundreds of dollars more for Outlook, because I just bought a new laptop and I'm broke!
I know I can get Windows Live Mail to my hotmail, pocket pc, and vista together, but all of my contacts are stored in pocket outlook, with no way that I know of to import them into Windows Live. I tried using this program:
http://pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1479
which will extract my contact info into a .CSV file that I can import into hotmail, but hotmail won't identify the file properly (so close!)
Does anybody know a way to get my contacts off my phone without typing them out one by one?

Use the free outlook licence/disk that came with your phone?
Probably another stupid question by me, but oh well. Here it goes.
I have windows Vista on my laptop, and it doesn't have outlook it has windows email. When the ATT rep transferred my contacts from my old sim to the new 3G sim, as usual they all got screwed up. So is there a way I can sync up my phone to my laptop and transfer all my contacts from my sim to the contacts in the Windows email program? I wanted to edit them there becuase it would be so much easier. Then I would transfer those contacts back to my phone correctly. Is there a way?
The reason being is that I have multiple numbers for one person and the sim has it all mixed up. Thanks for your time and feedback.
From my understanding...there is no way to do it. I have had this conversation with the folks at HTC and Device Center only syncs to Outlook. You could possibly export them to Excel on the device then sync and open Excel on the lap top and resort them there.
I sure hope there is another way and I am sure the kind folks here will no more than I do.
Free trial of Office, with Outlook.

Install it, sync, fix contact remove.
Might be another way, but this is easiest as it is what is recommended.
hello, im wondering how do i tranfer contacts from my Nokia n73 to my TILT im really confused i have never used outlook either so is there other ways?
Transfer your numbers to your SIM card and then transfer those numbers from SIM card to your TILT
put sim into nokia open up contacts and highlight a contact click on the options, it should say move to sim or something of that nature.
i got oo much contacts to copy to my sim card so i cant do it that wya
back it up on to ur computer?

Outlook is the best medium for both.
Download Nokia PC Sync, and set it up to sync with Outlook
Then set ActiveSync to do the same
Bingo, contacts (with multiple numbers, addresses and emails etc) all on the TILT.
I use Outlook to manage my contacts, and unlike Nokia, Mobile Outlook maps ALL the fields that are in Outlook. (Nokia does not map Assistant, Home2 and many more, and also trims Outlllok notes to 256 characters!)

Do you have active sync set to overwrite duplicates/files from computer overwrite phone files?

no sir...i was told that'd delete everything off my phone??
Ummmmm I think you need to delete the partnership on the computer side?? Does this sound correct.
If you have all the contacts in Outlook I would also delete the Sim conacts, this may cause an issue.
