Activesync ignores Contacts - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Similar to problems some have been having, but...no matter how many times I check Contacts in the Options screen it will sync them once and then forgets the next time around.
Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I should mention i have Good (Mail) on the device so I only sync Files and (with a bit of luck) Contacts.
Anyone any insight/tips/sympathy ?
TIA, davebo.

active sync not syncing

for some reason since yesterday i couldnt sync with my laptop running vista anymore...it connects..and under wmdc it says connected but when it trys to sync the sync center just says sync failed...i've searched around and played around with the settings..such as unchecking the usb to PC box..the enable advanced network...i've tried deleting and re-creating a new partnership and it still wouldnt sync..now my phone has no contacts appointments in the calender but its all on my laptop...
edit: i am able to send files back and forth and use the file explorer...just cant get it to sync
any other settings i should look at?
i've read another thread that looked into the wifi which i did and had no success..
any other ideas?
edit: i'm playing around with what to sync..and its for some reason contaccts and calender it wont sync...if i uncheck those and just check lets say...mobile favs under wmdc...it'll sync no problem...i wonder whats causing this?
edit:still playing around with no advance..but for some reason if i just go to the calender or contact on the phone it freezes...maybe that has to do with it not syncing..because mobile favs n notes are syncing
Same here
I am having a similar problem. As far as I can tell mine sync's but I still get an error at the end. Not sure what isn't syncing.
I have the same problem but only with Contacts. Calendar and tasks sync normally. I'm using an original ROM WM6.0 in a Kaiser. and ActiveSync 4.5 with Outlook XP in a Windows XP SP3 machine (Works fine in my other computer with the same configuration). Do you know about a possible cause?
Not much help but I think I remember seeing threads somewhere that talked about sync problems due to corrupt calender/contacts files either on the pc or the device. Also I think it's temperamental about where your contacts etc are stored.

Sync Diamond with Mac OS X 10.5

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

Free sync and backup pocket outlook to Google account

http://www.nuevasync.com I just set this up through the exchange server feature in activesync. It is an over the air sync to google calendar and contacts in gmail. (No pictures with the contacts in gmail ) I had a problem with duplicates at first, but I think that was because I was trying oggsync, goosync, and nuevasync at the same time. It appears to be working fine now. There are other options out there, but this one appears to be the easiest and free-est one out there without limitations. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am.
!Backup your stuff with PIM backup or something similar before you sync just in case!
very nice i will try it now
thanks chiles
with this we can now also change devices, roms, etc withoug worrying about PIM data loss

Can you set categories in Google Calendar and it sync over? That's my biggest annoyance, I 'need' categories in order to have PhoneAlarm do specific actions for me based on the event category, such as "Work meeting" quietens everything, but there are some others that set the power on time different, or make the sounds louder, etc.. That all works with using Outlook to sync, but I haven't seen an online solution that works yet.
I haven't tried. I seem to remember that goosync would dumb down your category to the one default category. It might have been an old version or something. Good luck with it though! I just looked and I didn't see any category option on the google calendar webpage.

Well...My contacts lost their pictures on the gmail contacts page. This doesn't keep all of the information. I also lost my throttle contact category information. It's good for a sim card backup tho
I haven't used it myself yet. However, on quick inspection, the settings page recognizes multiple calendars, so it might sync in separate categories. There doesn't seem to be an option to only sync contacts with phone numbers, so I don't want to use it yet because gmail creates new contacts for those you email.
gave it a try and seems to work well! i only sync my calendar(s) and fits to it almost perfectly. the only problem is.. i'm having multiple calendars at my google calendar, and i cannot decide which calendars to sync. anyways that's better than goosync, only one calendar can be selected to sync.. otherwise have to upgrade to pro.. :E
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was using scheduleworld with the funambol client, but that stopped being able to connect. I would like to try to us nuevasync, but for as simple as the setup instructions are my activesync says that "Microsoft exchange did not accept my logon credentials". The server source is setup per the instruction on nuevasync site. I am running the stock ATT rom with WM6.0. I haven't knowingly changed any of my network settings and internet and email still work properly, but I can not get either funambol or nuevasync to work. Any thoughs would be appreciated.

Errors with birthdays, 1440 minutes

Hi!
When I am syncing my Diamond, it does not want to sync birthdays and gives me the error report "XXXX birthday Time:32-10-09 00:00 Duration:1440 minutes". Does anyone have any suggestions?
./InstantGravy
I had this. It seemed to be because I had set a birthday as a re-occuring calendar item back in 2005 and had also set the same persons birthday in contacts. I suggest deleting the calendar item if there is one. Worked for me.

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem:-( I have tried removing all birthday entries. I have also tried removing all the birthday entries directly in the calender. It does not seem to matter, the error is still there.
Any other ideas?
./InstantGravy
Same problem
I have the same problem on my raphael, at first this problem occurred when I had also set the birthdays in contacts, after removing al the birthdays in contacts this problem was solved. Only now the problem persists with one appointment inviseble, to my mac, pc and raphael. From what I have read about people solving these problems it almost always had something to do with a different calender making appointments inviseble to outlook. The thing is it is invisble to al my calanders, and I dont know i what way appointments are stored (That way I could delete them manually). Thus... not a mayer problem, it's just that the error WMDC and pocket activesync give me, are annoying the crap out of me, cheers

I have had this issue, luckily Pocket Informant was able to actually see the "hidden" apptment and I could delete same. PI8 has saved my bacon here many times as I sync with 2 machines, on XP other W2000 (work...)
PI8 also had an "advanced" ways of looking at the recurring birthdays...resetting the recurring date for birthdays/anniversaries using PI fixed my issues
Duplicates would often appear and ODIR (http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp) would sort that out...
Basically Activsync sucks....and you will spend a lot of time "patiently" solving these issues....Hope this helps and good luck!!
Aight thanks man great tip, no matter how careful I am keep needing software removing my doubles and manually recreating some of them to, almost to the point where was searching for an iMac... . thanks
Sorted it out with Exchange
Hi y'all and thanks for your time and effort!
We switched to an Exchange server at work and that solved my problem. Now I am able to sync with exchange at work and with my Windows Mobile Device Center at home. Still has a few glitches, but a lot better than before. My "Birthday" problem has disappeared as well, so I think it had something to do with syncing two computers with mobile device center.
I agree that ODIR is a fine product worth trying for those of us that have had a few duplicates created in our sync efforts.
A pity that the sync function of windows mobile isn't better than this.
Hey all
I have the same problem as "InstantGravy", with the sync-error caused from birthday-entries.
Error:
Emne: Emilies Fødselsdag
Klokkeslæt: 06-08-85 00:00
Varighed: 1440 minutter
I know it's in danish, but it's the same kind of error as "InstantGravy" is talking about.
Can anyone, (If anyone got one) please please please bring a step-by-step on how to resolve this problem. It's driving me crazy. I hate when I get errors on my phone/pc...
Any help is much appreciated...Thanks

activesync issues

i have run into an issue after flashing my tilt where i can not sync any contact that has an image attached to it and i can not copy a file from my trans flash card to my desktop using the drag and drop method with activesyncs explorer. now i have never had this issue before with my mda,8525 or tilt until a recent flash. now i have tried reflashing to a previous rom and flashing back to an oem rom. either way i am still getting the same result. i have googled so please dont start with use the search because i have. it seems many people have ran into the issue with the contact sync and have resolved it by unchecking the contact sync option in active sync and syncing the phone(which does result in loss of contacts on phone) then rechecking contact sync and resyncing phone which will getting contacts back on phone minus ones with pictures. i have not been able to find any info on the copying files from the phone(mainly memory card) to desktop issue but have found issue going from desktop to phone. now i have never had an issue with either one in the past until now. so any help at this point would be nice
