So I have never had this problem before. I want to backup my contacts from my phone into my outlook 2007, they flat out delete all my contacts on my phone! Not only that but if I get a new number on my phone and I want to update my outlook on my desktop, it gets deleted. This gets very annoying and I have never had this problem before, normally they merge my numbers from both. I have looked for a setting to fix this, but I have failed to do so.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! This gets very annoying when i have to go around asking for numbers AGAIN.
can't remmeber the exact details.. but if you were to delete the relationship of your PPC-PC, then add them again, you will have the option of saying which one has priority. Check those options carefully.
you can either do that or you can check your partnership settings...most likely you have it set so that if there is a conflict the system will replace items on your device... you can set it so that it dosnt do that or it replaces item on your computer instead

Rather annoyingly my screen has broken (it's cracked, I think -- coincidentally only two days after my brother's did the same thing). I'd like to somehow get hold of my contacts from within the phone. My brother has done this using some sort of device emulator thing to open the file in which they're kept, however he's on a different version of Windows, and I don't see that file on my phone.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could explain how I can do this.
first of all, try connecting it with activesync. Then go to options and select contacts(make sure u save the current contacts on outlook first and delete them so that the PPC contacts takes the place of them)
Then, Simply sync ur PPC
Thanks a lot. However, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I connect up, go to options... but I don't see what I can do to select contacts. I see it in the list of "types of information", but it doesn't have a box next to it that I can tick (unlike some of the types), and clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything.
Also -- and this is going to sound very stupid -- what's outlook? All I can remember that has outlook in the name is Outlook Express, but I expect that's not it. I tend to avoid that sort of thing, see.
hey guys, i just spent the last 1.5 hrs "fixing" my contacts (merged a bunch into one contact, fixed the last name, first name crap, etc) anyways, now that its perfect, i'm scared that if i sync it with my computer, which still has the contacts the old way, they'll just sync over to the phone and i'll be back where i started... does it default to use whats on the phone first? is there something i should change on activesync to make sure that it uses the info on the phone, and not the computer? thanks

ActiveStink is suppose to default to "new change" first. So in theory, AS should change the contacts on your desktop. If there is a change on the desktop AND mobile, it is suppose to ask which change you want.
One way to make sure, is to delete the partnership that is set up in Activestink, then start a new sync. In the new partnership set up process it "should" ask if you want to replace items on desktop with the one on your mobile, or vise versa.
For good measure, having a third party app to back up your contacts my be a wise thing if all goes wrong.
If you're that worried then use a back-up program first to save the modified contacts.
When Syncing the last modified version is distributed. The only time it would overwrite from PC to phone is if you edited them on your PC or if your deleted the partnership and then established a new one with it set to always overwrite PPC Data.
ok, thanks guys, just gonna go ahead and sync it and see what happens
synced with no problems, thanks guys
Hi!
I'm trying to sync my Diamond with my Mac by using Missing Sync. The connection works just fine and I have all my contacts on the phone. The only problem is when the syncronization is done I'm no longer able to add contacts to my People list.
I just get an error message that claims there is something wrong with manila.exe
I can't get rid of the problem without a hard reset and as soon as I sync the phone again (after doing a hard reset) the problem is back. Any solutions?
I'm having the same issues... I belive that it is related to the method that mark/space is syncing (the small app one is required to install before syncing the first time). I've have written to mark/space regarding this issue but haven't recieved a reply yet...
I am, however, able to add some of my contacts, I haven't been able to see a pattern as to why those particular contacts are being added when manila crashes when choosing another...
EDIT: May I suggest that you change the topic in order to get other members using missing sync to look this way... The current "People manila.exe error" is somewhat cryptic

Ok... let's hope they respond. If they do, please post here. Topic changed.
Problem solved. Remove all images from your contacts. Manila only gets an error when the vcard has pictures.
Yeah... same thing happens to me. Makes that part of the app useless. But I found that if you take the pics with your camera on the phone and add them it doesn't happen... as often!
Hi all,
Started getting this every other day, the re-sync is not a problem but it means I have to set up all my speed-dials and picture contacts again which is a pain. Anyone know either what is causing it and how to stop it or if there is a way to get around having to completely re-sync afterwards???

Im having the exact same problem using WM6.0 on a touch. If i reload a backup i created to bypass this as soon as i connect again the stupid error comes up. sometimes even after just syncing which makes no sense at all. Ideas anyone???
Hi,
I also got the same problem with my htc wizard and also got the solution. The problem happens due to flashing new a ROM and try to sync, when the pc is already created partnership with old ROM.
Here is the solution:
Delete or end the partnership in wmdc and resetup or create the partnership.
Thanking you
I have noticed this issue for awhile now. If i make a change to a contact on my phone it never gets pushed to GMail. Has anyone else noticed this? I have made sure Contacts was checked in Data Synchronization, i have even made changes, unchecked it then rechecked it and watched it sync. But those changes never make it to Google's servers. I know it worked in RC33 but i don't think it has worked since.
I do a lot of flashing and constantly keep losing new contacts or updates because of this. Its kind of a pain in the arse to remember what and who i changed in my contacts to update when i am at a machine.
Anyone?
Well you can buy mybackup pro and backup your contacts...But make sure you uncheck syncing of contacts in the data/synchronization settings. Never ran into that problem before.
you can try force-updating.
after you make a change, go to settings>data syncronization, uncheck and then check again the "Contacts" field, it will force a sync.
You should consider moving to a cupcake build already too, if only for the camera
Same deal
I have been having problems trying to sync up my contacts too. Everything is correct and the way that I want it on my phone and I want to push those updates to Google, but it constantly fails. Sometimes it fails with an little exclamation point next to the sync icon and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried it on both my rooted and unrooted g1 and I still have no luck even though I switch the sim card. I use mybackup pro and have been for a while but the file output format is nothing that can be uploaded to google (ie csv file) so I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas as to why the sync fails? My only thought is that Google refuses to sync because I am trying to sync a large number of contacts on my phone, with a very small number of contacts on google servers. Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) for Firefox does the same thing, it won't allow you to sync a large amount of information one way without giving you a popup message so your away of it just in case you don't realize that you are overwriting data. Maybe Google servers are similar only without the warning message?
My contacts NEVER sychronized with Google. Gmail works fine, MyMaps also synchronize but contacts and calendar never. And I don't even have these options in Data Synchronization menu (only Auto-synk and Gmail). Any ideea how I can fix this?
Thank you!
