Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.
I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.
How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.
Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.
Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.
Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.
Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device.
I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.
Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...
May work?
I tried both.
I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all??
It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.
edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.
same problem with AS
same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.
but when its done. nothing seem to be copied
i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...
i havent try with other rom nor other ver outlook
i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful

I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).
So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync
So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.
Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.
Syncs perfectly now
sync problem with tilt
I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07
I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.
Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.
Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.
I hope this helps.

If I do this will I lose all the contact on my phone? Sim?
also what file is this: Activesync association......which file do I delete?
Does anyone know how to add holidays to my calendar for my windows mobile device (tilt), please don't say enable it on my outlook then sync....cuz I cannot get my outlook to enable holidays.....
There must be some sort cab file.......
Why won't your phone sync with Outlook to add holidays. I have a TILT and have no problems???
Or are you not using Outlook?
First you have to enable Holidays in Outlook on your PC. BUT if you don't have a pretty current version of Outlook like 2007, you have to download a file from Microsoft to get holidays past the year 2007 since Outlook 2003 doesn't do holidays past the year 2007. Do a search on google or something for outlook holidays you will find lots of info.
OK, first let me thank you all for responding, but can you please read my post. I said I was looking for some sort of .cab file, not an Outlook install.
I am not computer illiterate, however for some reason I cannot get my Outlook to install holidays. I have searched the Microsoft knowledge base and have installed the updates, but still no luck.
I used to have a palm pilot and there was a piece of software that installed holidays to the date book, please tell me there is something here for my Tilt.
I have just received my XDA Ignito from O2, I have my old SonyEriksson phone address book saved as a .wab file and want to sync this with the Ignito/Diamond.
It does come bundled with a 'trial' version of Outlook but I don't really see the point in using it if it's just a trial that will run out. Plus I don't want to install Outlook just to sync my contacts!
Are there any free progs out there I can use to do this?
My old SE and Motorola phones came bundled with software that would do everything!
Thanks in advance!

I have Outlook installed on my machine... and I hate it, always have always will! I only need it for sync'ing my contacts. When I had my wizard way back (in technology terms anyway), the answer I kept getting was NO you can't sync with anything else.
The problem I am having with my contacts (and I have yet to find an answer for it) is that the Diamond/Ignito shows both my sim contacts and the phone contacts. The two lists are the same so when I go into 'all people' everyone is listed twice!
Any ideas anyone?

I'm till struggling with this. All I find is annoying 'trial' editions of programs that calim various things. When I left Outlook Express behind I assumed I was doing the right thing exporting to a wab file to back it up!
I've even installed OutlookXP now from an old office CD, but it can't import WAB files!! Can the version on the bundled CD?
There must be another way of getting a wab address book onto the Diamond?
I was just wondering if there was a contact manager out there you could set up on your computer and edit to sync with your WM device? I had helio for awhile and they had a program set up to where you could change everything from the numbers to the pic's displayed from your PC and it updated it all on your phone. Any help?
Microsoft Outlook + ActiveSync
It is the same for all windows mobile devices pretty much, so i would recommend you try any of the ones already available. I promise you if you search you'll find plenty of them.
My personal recommendation is that you sign up @ mail2web, and setup a free exchange server for yourself. It will sync to the web outlook interface.
I'm gonna close this thread, as it really isn't device specific.
Could someone please post an Outlook Express or Outlook Cab? I have gone searching through page after page finding nothing in cab or software pertaining to this. I have on my desktop Outlook Express and would like to have it sync to my pocket pc. I have windows version xp on my desktop and Window 6.1 on my mobile phone. I would like to just find the outlook cab and download it. Anyone with information on this or if you could even send me the outlook cab I would be grateful. Thank you so much.
