2 questions(one unrelated) - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

i just bought a new laptop and it has vista, and i can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my tilt over to my outlook 03, is there a way to set this up? i go to the windows mobile device and click on sync setting and there isn't even an option for the contacts, any ideas?
now in an unrealted topic, anyone know how to get the header box to show up in outlook 03? i'm not talking about the headers to show up in the email i mean the header box that is part of the client itself, i clicked header info but that only shows up in the email itself, pic is attached if you are wondering what i mean. thanks

Date / Contacts

I'm trying to do 2 things on my new Tytn II and I'm wondering if anyone knows how.
First, and mostly simple, I want to somehow enable the date to show on the top bar of all screens, sort of how you can enable the clock to show on all applications. Any ideas?
Also, I manage all of my contacts through Goodlink so that it is sync'd with work. However, this prevents me from using certain features that are in the device. For example, you can't set a voice dial to a contact in Good unless it's in the Outlook mobile client that comes with the device. Is there any way to automatically sync all Good contacts with the Outlook client so the two are always up to date?
Thanks!
For the first issue, click on the clock, then on the "more" tab, there is only 1 option in this window, which does what you want

Clearing the calendar?

For some reason my Tilt's Calender continues to give me multiple reminder announcements even when I dismiss the reminder. In fact, it will stay on the screen until I dismiss it a few times right from the onset of the first reminder. I'm curious if there's a way to delete every calendar entry? I have hundreds and
I just want to clear the entire calendar and re-transfer the events/appointments from Outlook 07 and see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks for any advice!
There is an easy way to delete the whole Pocket Outlook Database (including Calendar, Contacts and ToDos). You just need to delete the pim.vol file. Detailed instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369123
If you just want to delete the calendar entries, than I know just one method: Install Pocket Informant (the trial version should suffice). This application provides the possibility to delete all calendar entries at once.
Actually there's another way to do it, I did a search some time back looking for the same solution and found it. Open up your ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options - Server Synchronization. When you choose the items to sync with server, it will ask you whether you want to delete everything off your device before the sync. Use with caution though...
I cannot find the options described as:
ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options - Server Synchronization
I tried opening Sync Center and Windows Mobile Device Center looking for this (Vista). I also looked under ActiveSync on my Tilt. There is no "Tools." Under "Options" there is nothing regarding Server Synchronization.
What now?
Thanks...

civic98 was refering to ActiveSync on a Windows XP machine (since you didn't mention Windows Vista before). In Windows Mobile Device Center the similar setting can be found under "Mobile Device Settings" -> "Change content sync settings" and there uncheck the "Calendar" checkbox. Your phone needs to be connected to the pc of course. HTH
No, I'm referring to your Tilt's Activesync. NOT on the PC...

Full mail not syncing

Hi
I am using Windows Mobile Device center, with a Voda 1615 and I have set it to sync my mail from outlook, ensuring that all items are selected and that there is no limit on the size of the mail. It syncs all items fine but sometimes it is only a partial item and has the option of "click to download the rest of the message". I have checked and rechecked the options and it should be syncing all of the mail item. There also seems to be no correlation between the amount that is synced. Some are, for example 11k of 16k and some are 1k of 2k.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution??
Regards
Andrew

Unable to sync calender

Need help !!!
I have a HTC TYTN II and I am unable to sync outlook calender with my phone. I use Windows XP. I also tried syncing using the message server option but that also does not work. I am able to sync tasks and notes. While I run sync it shows that the calender is sunchronising but I dont see any off my meetings. Please someone help!!!!
Check your settings. I know, blatently obvious. Is it syncing and you can't see it or is it not syncing?
Edit: In Activesync check Tools- Options and make sure there is a check mark in Calendar.
The calender is checked. When I sync it shows as syncing and it also shows the number of appointments in my outlook calender as being synced to my phone but when I open my calender (mobile) nothing appears.
Please Please help. I am missing meetings !!!!
Back it up. Remove the Activesync partnership (Delete Mobile Device). Create a new partnership.

[Q] Google Contacts Not syncing properly

I got an HD7 off Craig's the other day and have been having rouble syncing my google contacts properly.
coming from a Nexus One, all my contacts are saved on Google. So I created a gmail account and synced my contacts, email and calendar. All the contacts do show on my People Hub, but the problem is, it's only names, no phone numbers!
Am I doing something wrong? I've tried syncing manually too with no success.
Please help!

Are your Google Contact's phone numbers labeled properly? Windows Phone 7 will only recognize specific labels. So for example, if you were to label a phone number in your contact's entry as "Blahblah", Windows Phone will not recognize that as an entry and it will not appear in your contact on your phone. It has be labeled as Home, Work, or Mobile in order for Windows Phone to recognize it.

Thanks for the reply.
I made sure all my contacts were labeled as "Mobile" because the Nexus wont show them up for messaging if they arent. So no, that isnt a problem.
Any other suggestions?
Btw, the HD7 works flawlessly with my $5.99 t-zones plan, which is the only reason I bought it off of Craigslist even though I was eligible for an upgrade..

Is it just the phone numbers that do not show up? What about other details like birthday, address and what not, do those show up properly?
Also, try creating a new contact and just throw some bogus random information in there and see if the new contact syncs properly.
