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

Birthdays to Calendar

Hi dear developers,
Do you know if its possible to make pOutlook contacts that have birthdays filled to have it assingned as an all day event in Calendar ???
Unfortunally i have to Sync my Calendar/Tasks with work PC outlook and Contacts with my Home PC outlook so i guess i could not use the sync trick to do this.
I have a terrible memory for birthdays (once i have forget mine ) and i could not use that great birthday today plugin with TF3D...
Is it possible to do it programmatically?
Thanks for the help.

Well I sync my Diamond with Outlook and I don`t have any problem with that ... all birthday`s are displayed as all day events on Diamond

All my birthdays are displayed as all day events as well...! Only annoying thing is, every time Outlook adds an alarm reminder to the newly added birthdays. When I forget to delete them, I will be remindered 15 minutes before midnight... I already cleared the Default Reminder option.

Has everybody a solutuoin for this problem? I have the same problem as CreativeBR. When i sync my outlook calendar with active sync, i have no birthdays.

you must sync the contacts
hi biersoeldner,
in order to get the all day events synced to your phone (via activesync) you have to sync your contacts and not only the calendar. the birthdays are coming out of the contact entries and are only displayed in your outlook.

I have synced (in activesync) the contacts and the calendar. Now i have checked the details of the contacts and there are no birthdays.
Some birthdays I have written direct in the calendra an they also not in my xda. I use Outlook 2007 an HTC ROM-Version: 1.93.407.1 GER.
Currently I have checkt birthday, which were in the near future and lock they are there. I belive I shoud check the differenz between this persons!
thx for the answer!

I put birthdays into the calendar as standard all-days events, repeating on the same day every year (and set an alarm of 5 days out to remember to buy that card/present!). You don't touch the contact entries then. Will happily sync between PC outlook and mobile outlook then.

I had found a workaround for my problem, if i delete the series of appointments and i create it again, than is the appointment on the pda calendra. Could someone explain me this?

None of this could help me because i need to sync Calendar/Tasks with the work outlook and it has so many business contacts (that i dont want in my personal mobile).
Thats why i cant send my personal contact birthdays to outlook and receive the all day events via calendar.
That free birthday today plugin fits nicely to what i need but i cant have it running with TF3D.
Maybe SecondToday app could help me... But run it just for one today plugin 8(

since someone mentioned birthday problems in calendar...
does anyone of you have the problem when synchronizing the device...
birthdays are synced, they r showed in the device, but they will disappear in outlook... but if you do a search it's there, it just won't show up in the calendar view...
i currently need to re-enter my contacts b-day to make it visible again in outlook...
anyone having the same problem too???

The only way I've ever been able to reliably add birthdays is add a new recurring event, starting on the year of birth. Then each subsequent event has a number in brackets indicating the age that year.
Contacts, plug-ins, any other way just didn't seem to work for me.

well...
My pc sync very well with pda all contacts and birthdays... but, the problem is that birthday, doesn't show in tf3d! What can I do? there is any tweak for this problem?

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.

[SOLVED] Error Syncing Contacts back form MS Outlook

hello all,

Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 was the culprit, re-installing fixed the issues.

[Q] HD7 & Windows Live Calendar

Wondering if anyone can help!
Synced my outlook calendar across to the windows live one so that it would show up on handset which it does.
I decided to import some old calendar entries from up to two years ago into my windows live calendar which show up OK on my PC windows live calendar but they have never synced over to my HD7 windows live calendar.
Becoming a bit of a mystery as all my new appointments sync over OK to mobile.

There may be a setting to limit how far back to sync. There is for email.
I’m not syncing a calendar so can't check for you but go into your phone's Windows Live settings.

Well, I have gone into Windows Live settings on mobile and there is an option for email which I have now changed from 1 month to anytime so now all my hotmail emails have synced all the way back in time to my handset.
There seems to be no option for calendar entries so we seem to have no control over this, I hope I am wrong though. Anyway my old calendar entries still have not synced over to mobile which is a pity.

Check Windows Live to see if there's a setting there.

Checked Windows Live, still nothing there settings wise.

Same Problem
I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.
Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.
Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.
Has anyone facing sync issues?

Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.
I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.
Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.

Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?

It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.
I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7

Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?

yes you can get past appointments also.
just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.
it worked with me

how did you do this? I cant find a way to sync them up!
Thanks, Rick

Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.
Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.
Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)
Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.
Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.
Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.

update from my post above...
I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.
Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...
1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...
2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.
The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now
Can anyone help please?
