Hi there,
Simple question, how do I delete categories? When I create a new appointment the list of categories includes one I never use (like Facebook - created by Snap2Face), but I can't see any way to delete them...

seems like a very similar question to one i asked a while back re. deleting unused phonebook categories.
haven't seen any way to do either in my research....i imagine that with enuf searching someone will find a program or registry hack to do the job!

AFAIK the categories can only be deleted on the PC in outlook. Then on the next sync it will remove them on the phone.
try 3-d party pim. AFAIR agendus can do it

Ok, so now I have duplicate contacts of everyone in outlook cause I guess I didn't delete my old device before I sync my phone that has new ROM on it. How do I get rid of these duplicates in outlook and on phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only way I know of is to delete the duplicates one at a time from one device (easier to do this on the PC) and then re-sync. Hope you don't have too many.
UGH, thx man!
Take a look at this free apps: http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp
sktools has an option of deleting all the duplicate contacts
Found a nice one over at Coolsmartphone forum...

the ODIR works perfectly for me, as already recommended by jack leung:

silly & stupid M$ and its products: WM - activesync - outlook
you will not got this stupid behavior by using Nokia PC Suite, and in addition you'll get more complete and powerful settings
(how many settings you can change in activesync?)
Duplicate Remover
Have a look at Clone Remover, it is utility to find duplicate files, mails, folders and to remove duplicate files on Windows and Vista. This program is free. duplicate outlook
Duplicate File Finder
Try this freeware Fast Duplicate File Finder by MindGems inc.
This software worked for me - dublicatefilesdeleter.com
Many users are reporting they then get duplicate contacts and I'm one of them. I've been using this Mac outlook and encountered same problem. A total headache as I have hundreds even thousand of contacts duplicated.,.you can imagine how frustrating it was. This deal breaker for me. Until I found Scrubly Duplicate Remover.I really need this for life. This is also been used by my friends and family. I'm very thankful of having this tool. I think you should also try this. Hope it helps
Can anyone recommend freeware to remove dupes in Outlook after Active Sync. Many thanks.
We use this at work when people get dupes. It's 'Prayerware'. Works well.
...For whatever reason I cannot upload the zip (it's only 2 MB). It's called Outlook Duplicate Remover and its made by Holy Spirit, Soutesea. Google for it and you'll find it.

....is there any way that i can set categories in my Contacts, and then set ringtones for specific categories? is there a program out there that does so? i tried Photo Contacts Pro, but didn't really like it, so is there anything else that could do so?
What's wrong with using Microsoft Outlook.? When you open Outlook contacts to set up a new or an old contact for that matter, at the bottom right hand corner there should be a box for selecting and editing categories. Then sync.
I don't regularly sync contacts, but I can recommend Pocket Informant for your ppc and it dose a very good job of managing and editing categories.
yeah, i set up the categories and everything, but i cant assign ringtones to a specific category, which is what im attempting to do...
Use Phonealarm to assign category specific ringtones...
There is no way to set ringtones per category. Just set them for each contact.
Look for a small program called Tone Manager - you should be able to find it on www.freewareppc.com This does exactly what you need. Assign a ring tone to ALL contacts in a category. Hopefully you have categories assigned to all contacts
So I have been putting up with manually changing my new contacts from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname for over a year and a half now. I have searched all throughout here, google, and ppc with no progress.
Any one have any cabs, reg hacks, anything at all that can default all new contacts to File as Firstname,Lastname?
Please. lol
i dont know if there cabs/reg hacks that can do it as your saving the contact or to automatically have the option by default but i do know that there are additional software that scan your contacts and then change the contacts to first name last name. Here are two of them that i know. One is called contact changer v1.3 (free) just google that and then there is one on the forums here called trinefix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468767
idk how well either of them work. I mean i tried them both and i think contact changer worked a little better then trinefix but they both left a few of them still last name first name because when i created the contact i did not create them properly i think
That trinefix works well, except I already have all my contacts sorted properly, by doing it manually. I was hopin for a reg trick to change the default.
But thanks for your input, appreciated.
hey all~
so i made some new categories for my contacts, but now i realize i don't need one but can't find where, err how to remove the not used category :S
i use pocketContact Manage as my contact app, i've look thru it's options and even uninstalled it and looked thru the default contact manager app and have had no luck....any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks
