come on guys , i need your help up
This is a commond problem. Try this solution. After you synch (during which time I presume you have no contacts on your Kaiser), go to tools-->options and uncheck contacts. Sync again. Then reenable contacts. Good chance the contacts will now transfer. Do not remove the USB cable during the process.Hope this works for you.

any other ideas guys ? plz
thank you too much
Since it sounds like your contacts are no longer in Outlook on your PC because it was re-formatted, I think the ony way to get them back is via a back-up you had done before this problem existed. Reading your post, it sounds like you had done a back-up, but that it is "broken". I am not sure what that means, but I would try it.
Well if you do have the .stg file try setting up outlook again and restoring using that file via active sync restore option under tools i think. Not sure if you reformated your computers after you had saved your contacts, sorry if i dont understand, just trying my best
Check your deleted folder in outlook, thats where it puts everything after you synced, if you empty it entirely(a lot or daily) then your doomed if not copy paste them back in to the contacts and sync, happened to me but a different way of it happened.
(had contacts then synced, then deleted them off the sim and somehow out of my stupidity I deleted both. . .and then I was looking and looking and then someone told me that and I did what I said and then they synced back and I put them back on both and just used kaiser tweak to hide sim contacts.)
outlook has no contacts , cz the pc completely has been formated , and i installed new outlook ,, so its empty !!!! and got the kaiser also empty even i didn't check the contacts when sync it for the first time !!
stg file is good , but i got from the pda2k before break the device , i mean i broke the device completly ( destroied pda2k ) so noway to get it back again as working device , ,,
i thought about to restore it into win2003 emulator sfotware , then transfer the contacts into outlook , then from outlook i can get them on kaiser ,, but also the mobile devie emulater software didn't read the stg file cz it got from other machine as said ...
now trying to get a pda2k from a friend and restore the stg file into it , to fill out the outlook , then get in back into kaiser , thats the only logic idea i think ,right guys ?
thank you alot ,, any other idea's or similler problem plz post , i would be thankfull
regards
you can extract the contacts from the stg file, i've done it before with my blue angel. search the forums, it has to be around somewhere. and you might wanna use google to search, cause any info will probably be way to old for a plain search
found this thread http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18858 on extracting databased out of .stg files. dunno if it'll help, but hope it does. good luck
thank you too much dear , you are very helpfull
i already tried to open and extract the stg files , but couldn't !!
i tried some softs , wihtout results , only last one when somynex directed me to stg viewer I couldn't find it , i will try to find it , plz if you have other way to extract the stg file and get the contacts db from it let me know ,
by the way , the stg fle was taken from i-mate pda2k , its like ablue angel same same ,, so i just want to view the contacts to register them , even manually ,, thank you
regards
So you deleted contacts before you synced on outlook after you formatted? Or you deleted them after you synced on accident? Because you would check the deleted folder and then copy paste them back. I know you re-installed windows.

Hello there,
Check the "DELETED" folder of the outlook, sometimes the contacts can end up there.... doesnt harm to check..even if its a brand new outlook.
But the possibility of that to is very less, as the contacts have been deleted from ur mobile, not from ur outlook...
I mentioned that but he didn't listen. . .
Yeah...
What happened is you setup a new sync partnership and it deleted your contact since "desktop overwrites mobile" is the default in ActiveSync. This is common and unfortunately irreversable. For future reference, when you wipe out your pc make sure you go into Outlook and do a file> import & export > export to a file > .PST > and save that all important .PST file somewhere safe. That file will contain your mail, calendar, contacts, notes, to-do's.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think your getting that info back unless you backed up your entire C: drive.
Well, they should be in the deleted folder in outlook then. If the OP doesnt want to look and see them in deleted then its his problem.
ok guys , i told you that i formated the desktop pc , and i got outlook empty , blank without any data ,,,, so i had them only on the mobile device , outlook gone , went away , installed new windows , new office , new pc ,,,,,,,
when first try on active sync , first try made a relationship between the desktop and mobile device ,,,, I DIDN'T CHECK ANY CONTACTS OR CALENDER OR APOINTMENTS WHEN RELATIONSHIP WIZARD WAS CREATING ,,,, after done " connected " all contacts has been gone , i think like the bro said up that the new outlook overwrite the device contacts with new list " wich is empty cz the outlook is blank " so got the device as blank contacts also .. thats the most currect answer ,,,
NOW GUYS I FOUD A SOLUATION , BUT NOT FOR ALL
cz i had stg file from my old pda2k device " imate " win2003SE , i did this :
1. found a friend who has the same device " imate - pda2k "
2. asked him to hard reset it without any personal data , and give it to me
3. i restored the full back up to the device and i got my contacts back as my old pda2k device
4. copied the contacts to my sim card , then put it in kaisaer and install them on the mobile normally ( could be also with any backup program or oulook if well configured )
5. done ...
sorry , mybe this solution would not affect other's problem in the same state ..
NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO : coz i have them normaly on the kaiser now , i am afraid to connect it to the desktop pc coz of the same problem ,,
FIRST : i want to make normal sync relationship with kaiser and pc , but first set must tell him to check the contacts or not ,,, i afraid to overwrite it or loose them again ( even the last time i am sure i didn't check the contacts to be syncED !!! )
i want to normal way to be without loosing the exesting contacts ,,
SECOND : how to make a full back up for this kaiser with active sync or other way , ( active sync when connect to kaiser doesn't show full/backup/resotre and i don't know why !!! ) , in case to restore it later if needed , give me good way plz
thank you so much guys , i don't wish this problem happen to anyone , you take care
waiting for ideas for the First and Second matters i talked about ...
