syncing contacts with pictures? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Everytime I try to sync my contacts with my computer I get an error from ActiveSync telling me that there is a problem with certain contacts (the contacts that have display pictures). Is there a way to sync them without having this error from activesync? Ive tried searching but could not come up with a solution for this...thanks

Need more 411
I sync with outlook 2007 and pictures in contacts are fine. I have used different contact managers but didn't have problems syncing.
What program are you syncing to, what os, versions... Any special contact managers on phone or os?

I, too, sync pictures in outlook via activesync... and have added pictures at both ends of the pipe.
Now, if someone wants to tell me how to get BLACKBERRY CONNECT to sync the pictures, THEN we are talking....

I believe there is a contact size limit with exchange 2003 when assigning pictures on the pc side. I had a lot of problems with pictures and active sync so I just assign the pics on the phone and you do get the sync error but only once.

try
try putting your photo contacts in the sd card into folder my documents, with a resolution of 240 x 320.
try with extension jpg or bmp.

Outlook Contact with Photo & Notes Can't sync to Kaiser?

I got this strange problem. Contacts which have photo callers embedded or those which have notes written on them won't sync to my Kaiser.
Only plain contacts with no notes/photo will be tranferred.
I tried to hardreset, delete partnership, reinstall activesync etc and none seems to work.
If I edit the contact photo & notes from kaiser and sync it back to outlook it will works. Seems like it is set automatically to PPC overwrite PC?
What is so strange is that my other devices: Samsung i600 & MTeoR will sync just fine.
Anyone else have the same issue? and knows how to solve it?
Thanks.
Mine works fine. I have over 1000 contacts which more than half has photos and notes in it.
Same here, contacts with Photos and notes sync just fine on mine. Wish I had an answer for you.
Mine work fine too
I've had trouble with mine too. The initial sync sent all the contacts down except ones with photos or notes. Add a new photo to the kaiser and it syncs ok back to outlook, but not the other way.
In the end forked out for pocketmirror from http://www.chapura.com/pmp_wm.php
Its now syncing everything correctly, and means I can sync my work contacts separately from my wife's pda's. Doesn't let you sync remote Exchange yet though.
id reinstall activesync off of the install disk. a good place to start

Contacts File

Where is the Contacts file on the Tilt?
I am getting an error message when my phone tries to connect to outlook. And after trying to reinstall outlook, I still cannot resolve the issue. I never use outlook, so I am tempted to ignore the problem.
But I want to add about 50 contacts to the phone and it would be a lot easier to do it on my computer. Is it possible to download the contacts file to my computer, edit it, and then replace it on the phone.
thanks

1. welcome to xda-devs
2. search & read the Wiki (it shoudl ALWAYS be the first you do before you ask a q), I've published several articles on how these databases work
in a nutshell: sync with the desktop Outlook, and do the manual work on it. rely on Outlook's syncing to do the trick

MSN Live and contacts

is there a way of deleting all my msn contacts from the whole contacts system
takes forever to find any one thanks to msn live sync all the contacts into me htc contact
you should have de-selected the option "copy contacts from msn to my contacts list" (sth like this) while configuring your messenger during installation.
I suggest you now use outlook, copying the contacts of the kaiser to your pc, deleting the unwanted ones from the pc (it certainly is easier with a proper keyboard and a mouse) and then sync outlook with your mobile phone (be careful you should set active sync so that it modifies the kaiser's contact list by keeping the changes you made on the pc - have a look at active sync's settings).
i found a software that can actualy do it lol its called ClearContacts
name says it all lol
Glad to hear you found a solution lad
tho i did try the way you mentioned
but vista mobile managing software wouldnt let me sync contacts into outlook
oh yea another problem does your msn live run properly?
im having a massive problem with mine
Well, it says the server is not working properly and I can't connect at the moment... dunno if that's a world-wide issue

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.

Contacts

Is there anyway to remove all the windows live messenger contacts in the contacts? Its REALLY annoying because I have 500 people on my MSN list.
Basically I just want all the contacts from Sim Manager only to be viewed in the contacts screen. How can I do it?
sync with outlook delete all live contacts
sync again with the setting make the pda like windows option
first backup outlook's pst file to be sure
and don't use the version of msn msg which auto add it's contacts
to contacts
I'm sorry your explenation confused me.
How do I sync with Outlook?
If I have to sync with my PC that doesn't work for some reason. I get an Error in the Active Sync software everytime I try.
I got it to sync with activesync and it said it synced my contacts succesfully.
But where are they? And it only seemed to sync 120 contacts. If all my MSN contacts are in my contact list on my phone there should be 500+
*bump*
please guys i really need some help with this. Its becoming frustrating going through a list of 500 to make a call.
