I was wondering if this is possible. I've been researching and there isn't alot on ActiveSync. Anyway, is it possible to have a program on my phone to clear all calendar entries, then re-sync over bluetooth (I know bluetooth syncing is possible) without deleting the calendar on my computer? So it's kind of like a one-way sync, in order for this to work the syncing process cant modify the calendar on the computer at all when syncing, cause if you could it would clear the calendar on my computer too. So I was wondering if there was anyway to clear calendar on my tilt, then have it load/re-sync the calendar on to my phone from my computer without deleting my computer's calendar or modifying it.
Or if there's a way to do one-way sync and make my computer calendar read-only or something that would work too.
Please help, thank you .
Before all! BACKUP YOUR CALENDAR! After you have taken backup of your calendar on the PC sync it whit the phone. Now..
Delete everything and restore the backup from youre pc and re-sync

Hi hi,
I flash ROMs quite often, and always having problem with duplicate contact & calendar entries when syncing with my work laptop after each ROM upgrade.
My workaround is to manually delete those duplicate entries, I know there are some program out there to easily clean duplicates.
My question is that, what is the proper way of syncing to prevent duplicate entries from happening in the first place? eg. making sure device name is the same, don't restore from PIM backup, etc.
This what I usually do.
1. ROM upgrade
2. Restore from PIM backup
3. Delete mobile device from my ActiveSync
4. Connect Kaiser to Laptop
5. Setup new sync connection
6. Sync
Is the step above incorrect?
Extra info:
- I connect my Kaiser to two laptops
- 1st laptop is home laptop - nothing is synced, only used for Internet connection & charging kaiser
- 2nd laptop is work laptop - syncing calendar, contacts, & mail
Thanks in advance

What things u want to have saved(contacts, tasks,...). If u want to have saved just contacts, tasks and appointments, u dont need to use pim backup. Just sync your phone after the rom upgrade with a pc.
These are my usual steps:
1. sync phone with pc(contacts, tasks, appointments)
2. pim backaup my call logs,sms,mms
3. rom upgrade
4. setup new sync partnership(without deleting the old one) and sync
5. restore the settings via pim backup
EDIT: or u can use sktools for deleting the duplicate contacts, ...
That happens when you restore contacts, appointments etc..from PIM backup and choose the "Combine the items on my device with the items on this computer" option when you setup the new partnership.
Solution: Restore SMS's from PIM and let M$ Outlook take care of the contacts and calendar entries bit...
Beaten by Mikulec ...
ah.. ic.. so the trick is only restore sms, call logs, etc from PIM. Do not restore calendar & contacts.
I was considering that, but I was just afraid that.. if I don't restore calendar & contacts, the next time I sync, it will wipe out all my calendar & contacts in my work laptop (ie. laptop mirrors what's in kaiser).
Is there anything that I need to be aware of, to ensure that after first sync all my calendar & contacts won't be cleared because my kaiser has no calendar entries in it?
Thanks for your help, hopefully this 'll help others with similar prob.

U can try to backup also your contacts and appointments with pim backup, but use the steps that I wrote(restore only call logs, sms... via backup). In case the sync goes wrong and it will not restore your contacts,... u can use pim backup to restore them.
I'm getting rid of Outlook and starting to use Sunbird with the Google Calendar extension but I'm a little confused on what I need to do from here to get everything working the way I want.
I'd like to be able to use Sunbird for my tasks and calendar and Thunderbird for my contacts. I want my PC to be able to sync all this data online (free or paid... not really important) and I'd like my phone to be able to sync all that data wirelessly. This way, If I mark a task as complete on my phone, when I log onto my computer it will show as complete as well. All of this, without needing to use ActiveSync by conntecting my phone to my PC.
So far I have Sunbird syncing with Google Calendar without any issues. I also know of a few apps for Windows Mobile that will sync the Pocket Outlook database with Google Calendar. This then, takes care of all my calendar needs.
But, what about my tasks and contacts? Google Calendar doesn't sync either of those so I'm confused on what I need to do to get all 3 things syncing.
I'm thinking maybe I need some sort of online service (other then Google Calendar) that allows the syncing of all 3 and also has an app for windows mobile.
With that said, can anyone point me in the right direction? What's the best (in your opinion) way to sync a windows based PC with some online service that also syncs with your phone wirelessly?
try oggsync
I successfully used GooSync to do that; worked fine.
Only issue is that it's a manual process from the phone.
BirdieSync, while not free seems to do the job really well. I have thunderbird with lightning calendar extension configured to sync with google calendar.
I had a problem with connecting htc and PC via BT. So I decided to set it up from begining in my phone and in PC in ActiveSync. I deleted sync profile in ActiveSync and I did it also in HTC. During deleting in HTC there was a message that it will be deleted only the sync profile not data (contacts, calendar), BUT it happend! ;o( After that all my contacts and calendar items were deteted from my phone. But all data I can find in Outlook.
So I tried to create new sync profile. BUT during synchronization ActiveSync doesn´t find any changes in contacts and calendar, so no new contacts and calendar items are copied to my phone. But I have any in my phone! So there is no way to get contacts from Outlook to my phone. ActiveSync ,,think" that I have all contacts in my phone.
I have tried all to solve it. Reinstall ActiveSync, hardreset my phone, but nothing help. Can anyone help me? How to persuade ActiveSync to copy all contacts from Outlook to my phone?
Thanks
Since you mentioned that you have tried to hard reset, the only culprit left is your Outlook. How about creating a folder in your default Contact folder and move everything in there. Then establish a new sync partner and sync. Finally, move back the contacts into the original folder.
No, it doesn´t work. ActiveSync doesn´t see contacts which are not directly in the main folder Contacts or next to it. I tried to create new contact, but ActiveSync didn´t also synchronize it. So I can synchronize any. The solution can be to remove ActiveSync from the memory and registry completely, not only uninstall. Is there some way how to do it, except formatting of harddisk? I have used Registry cleaner and Registry fix, but nothing helped. It is really difficult to use my Diamond without contacts...
P.S. !!!!!!!!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My last idea was right - I tried to set up my PC to the recovery point before installing of ActiveSync (2 moths ago) and now SYNCHRONIZATION IS O.K. and all contacts are copied from Outlook to my Diamond!
This can help someone in the future. ;o)
I have always saved my contacts / calendar via PIMBACKUP. Just done a hard reset on my touch pro. Restored all contacts etc, everytime I hook it into active synch (which already has my contacts and calendar), it keeps copying from my phone to outlook creating duplicates.
All i want is to copy all from mobile to pc and clear outlook contacts and calendar. Was able to before click on contacts and settings and it woudl give me a option, its currently hidden.
Thanks
any help please?
Recently I've used the recovery dvd to reset my PC. I also have to install Active Sync. Strangely enough I couldn't install the disk that HTC puts into the boxes where you buy your phones in. The program says that you must install flash 8.0 or higher with a link that link you up to Adobe's website. I already did install the latest flash player. I uninstall it, reset the computer, put in the disk, hit the link, install the flash player again, restart again. Still the same message. After that I downloaded ActiveSync 4.5 at the website of Microsoft. It works okay.
When I put a new contact in the phone it won't set the contact into Word Office Outlook 2003. Otherwise it works.
I've tried to delete the device into ActiveSync and loaded up in it again but that won't work unfortunately. Please help!
Is everything else you selected to sync sychronising properly? It's not just simply that you didn't select the options when you re-installed?
Does ActiveSync come up with any error messages? It could be that you need to delete partnerships and re-establish them - in my experience ActiveSync is a bit 'fussy' when uninstalled and re-installed.
Whatever, make sure you do full backup(s) before trying anything - I lost all my data one time when an engineer 'tried' to re-establish my ActiveSync partnership!
My pc was completly turned up side down so I used the recovery dvd and that deleted the whole C disk, also ActiveSync. I do had to download ActiveSync from the website because the disk wouldn't run. And yes I do change some options.
It can not synchronised some contacts that I install on my Topaz. Installing contacts in Outlook 2003 to the device works, otherwise not.
It gives the warning code 1.
Sorry, not sure what to suggest here.
If NOTHING from the phone is syncing with Outlook (i.e. no Appointments, Tasks or whatever) it sounds to me as though it could be a problem with the firewall - if you have one set up. Try disabling that and syncing.
If it's only Contacts that aren't syncing, but it works the other way, I'm at a loss.
Worth looking at the Microsoft Support pages - but ActiveSync often seems to have a mind of its own!
Sorry I can't help.

It does Sync tasks, appointments, etc. Just a couple of contacts strangely enough :S
...and it won't sync NEW Contacts at all? I've had the problem previously where existing Contacts didn't get changed - ActiveSync seemed to have got 'confused' as to which was the most up-to-date version and I had to go through entire Contacts list making small changes, waiting for them to be replicated, and if they were not then deleting that Contact on both devices and adding them back in.
That's simpler than it reads - but if you can't add NEW Contacts from the phone I'm not sure that's the problem.
Sorry.
Thnx for your input
