I've downloaded LG PC Suite and was going to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook, but then I can't check the box where it says sync with Outlook. Anyone having the same problem?
It's never been a problem before, when I had the SGS or the HTC Desire HD.
Edit: It pops up with something saying that I don't have a email program that can sync with LG PC Suite. But I do have Outlook, and it's full of contacts and appointments that I need to sync.
Why don't you use the exchange sync with the email program (over wifi/data?)

I don't think he have an Exchange server - might be a local sync on his computer he needs.

No I don't have an Exchange server. I'm was thinking of just doing what I'm used to with HTC and Samsung, transfer my contacts and appointments from Outlook through PC Suite.
If i'am not mistaken than you can do the following.
First start LG PC suite
Then select the Contacts
In the left bottom corner you wil see Settings.
If you select this you can check and oncheck your outlook contacts and calendar.
hopefully this wil work

Yes, I see the checkbox, but it's not possible to click on it. And PC Suite says that I don't have a email program and that if I do have I need to connect it in standardprograms i the control panel.
Edit: By the way, I have Office Home & Business 2010. I've read something about this "click and run" option. Don't know what that is though. Maybe that's why LG PC Suite doesn't find Outlook?
Edit2: Solved! I supposed it was because the "click and run" option. I uninstalled it and then it worked
Hello VistaX, I have the same problem. PC Suite (v.4.3.17....) does not allow me to check the outlook sync option.
??? Where did you find and then uninstal the "click and run" option from ?
Was it somewhere in outlook or in PC Suite or in a phone ?
Advice, please.
I have solved my impossibility of syncing Outlook 2010 via LG PC Suite. by using MyPhomeExplorer - it is free on the Market.
LG PC Suite is forgotten - and uninstalled for ever.

There is also another, and as I think more elegant way:
sync Outlook with Google contacts and calendar.
There is a great tool available, called Gsyncit, which will do this. It costs 20$, but I think it is worth it. When configured properly, it automatically syncs Outlook with Google, wich will sync with you phone. You don't have to do anything manually anymore. You don't have to connect your phone to your PC everytime to sync your data and you can alway access your data from everywhere via browser, even if you don't have your phone by hand.
And now, I am not the programmer of this. I only think these are some of the most useful bucks, I have ever spent
You have free tools from google to sync google account and outlook.
I am using mobisynapse, it synches tasks, notes, calendar, contacts with Outlook and it works fine for me.

At work i synchronize and update my Wings with Exchange (through Onebridge). At home I want to synchronize my wings with a home pc, I want to update the home pc with email, calendar and contacts from my Wings. Once connecting Wings to the home pc usb-cable, ActiveSync starts to synchronice, and synchronizes calendar and contacts to the home pc Outlook 2007 perfectly. A checkmark is also put on "Email", but my email is not synchronized and updated in my home pc Outlook 2007! Why is that? Could somebody please help me out?
Are you using the same version of outlook at work as you are at home? 2k7? I know with word 10 if you save it as a docx it will not open in the older systems and your phone might not be registering outlook 2k7 for some reason?
Just a thought.
The only connection my wings has with Outlook is at my home pc, through ActiveSync. At work I synchronize directly with Exchange, not with Outlook.
This is what i want for contacts, calendar AND EMAIL:
Wings -> ActiveSync -> Outlook2007 (at home PC)
But only contacts and calendar is synchronized, email is not. Why is that?
Hmm I dont sync anything so I cant help too much, but with the phone connected fire up active sync and under the tools > options there are a bunch of check box's for what you want synced, make sure email is checked and anything else pertaining to it?
I have tried checking and unchecking those boxes...., tried reinstalling outlook2007, reestablishing the activesync connection... still only contacts and calendar are copied to outlook2007.... email is not.
I got XP SP3, and Outlook 2007 SP 2.
Used Kies to sync phone with Outlook.
Result? It erased all outlook contacts/calender items, and non got synced to phone. Tried a bunch of times, each time it did the same.
How do I sync?
Not sure about using Kies, I havn't tried it, however google has built in outlook calendar into gmail now, not sure if this will do contacts though it might just be calendar?

i synced Outlook to Gmail account
then sync the phone with Gmail account
done!
download google sync from google website
the only thing it does not sync are the Yellow Notes

problem is google sync is blocked by firewall.
Guess I would have to export things from outlook, import at another PC, then use google sync. What a hassle, I would really like updated calendar events.
Here's an idea: do you run Outlook as standalone, or is Exchange running as the email server with Outlook as the client-side application?
If Exchange is running, have you looked at this, on the handset:
Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> then press Add Account ->More Accounts -> Corporate
You then get a screen which lets you set up an account which syncs to Exchange.
I haven't tried this, since I use Outlook running against a different email server. Maybe it will be the solution for you.
here is another great alternative

Don't you have to export the Outlook contacts to a file, and then import it into the phone? From what I see in Kies, that's the only way to get things started.

In Outlook you run File -> Export, and save the data to a .csv file. Kies is looking for a file like this.
The "sync with outlook" button is for syncing in the other direction: from the Galaxy S to Outlook.

no wonder it deleted all my contacts, and talk about illogical.
Sync is a 2 way street, not one way!
Clicking the open file button in Kies, causes Kies to halt, doesn't seem like it likes mapped network drives.
*sigh*
Ragnar, I don't think that Kies is the best software to accomplish the contacts syncing. I imagine you are dealing with a company email server, perhaps running Exchange?
I gave up on Kies for this task. I am now using Synthesis, a SyncML client, to do an over-the-air sync. There is a 30-day free licence and then one has to buy it. You can also try Funambol, which is free. Of course, using a SyncML client demands that the email server must be running a SyncML server.
Probably you can try "Android Manager-WIFI"? It's free but it only supports wireless data connection with PC, no USB version. It can help to synchronize Outlook contacts/Calendar. Google "Android Manager-WIFI" and you shall find the free download from a manufacturer called Mobile Action. Hope this will help.
Yes, Android Manager WiFi is good, however, Android 2.2 is not complete supported this function now.
It might be under development.
Anyway, it is really good!
See bellow post
never mind, the http://myphone.microsoft.com only works with WM6.
Ok so how can help me get my full contacts, music and pictures from my HD2 to the new phone.
Very retarted I must add. There should be a simple application that allows you to transfer all that data to ur comp or some other place and then back to the new phone, no matter what the os version is like Nokia has.
Please help
Here's what i did:
1. first create a windows live account online
2. sync all your contacts to outlook (use active sync for xp) by connecting ur hd2
3. convert ALL contacts through outlook - access FILE, IMPORT EXPORT, choose EXPORT A NEW FILE, choose Comma Separate Values (windows), then type in preferred file name (take note of file location in ur pc)
4. log in to windows live account, go to contacts page and import the contacts by accessing the file you exported from Outlook.
5. activate your phone's DATA or WIFI connection, and set-up/turn on your windows live account on your hd7.
6. once complete, all contacts should sync on your hd7!
The process is lenghty and i prefer direct sync from outlook similar to WM6.5 but i think Microsoft wants to promote windows live.
Hope this helps!
** btw, for pictures and music, i believe the best way is to use ZuneSW on your pc or use the MAC connector if you're using mac (like me!). both can be downloaded through windows website, just "bing it"!

Thank you for the reply.
Two problems
Cant sync with Outlook, have it installed, set up accounts when I connect my HD2 to it, it tells me that out look is not my default email program, even though its set to be, i checked, then when I go into settings it only lets me sink notes and some other crap, not contacts.
So I used the windows live to sink, or what I though was windows live. but its for V6 only. ( very retarted on microsofts part)
When you log into windows live, it has nothing to do with your phone.windows account.
I cant get zune to install either, gives me a net frame error, even though net frame is up to date.
Im running windows 7, with all latest updates.
Im not idiot when it comes to computer, but man windows is making it tough to do simple things.
I just tried to install that stupid software for the cloud, it would not install any o fit either, cant figure out what is going on.
You guys make things to hard. add the windows live account to your hd2 and have it sync then add the win live account to your hd7. You can also use gmail thru activesync on the hd2 and it will give you an option to sync gmail contacts on the hd7
Never thought of that before! I only opened a windows live account when i transitioned to HD7. I used the hard way (outlook sync), it's great that u suggested an easier one.
Thanks!

Tried the Gmail version when I first got the HD2 and it did not give me option of which way to sync, it saw my gmail account had no contacts and cleared them all off.
Either way, I think microsoft should develop a simple back up and sync system, without having to use outlook or windows live, i dont use either way on a daily basis.

Just tried your idea, went to Windows Live on HD2, logged in, on sync options only option is to show windows live contacts on phone, not vice versa, do a sync, log on to my live account via pc, no contacts shown.
have you actually done this? or just going of of theory?
You should use ActiveSync on your old WM device to connect to your Live/Hotmail-account.
It will sync your phone contacts to your live account which then will show up in your WP7 device.
It worked for me, even though I don't have a hotmail-address.

Driving me nuts, so here goes.
Worked 1 time and never worked again.
Windows XP environment, running Outlook 2003 SP3
USB interface to Samsung SGH-I777
Kies current version (just downloaded).
Kies can not find Outlook, even though Outlook is exactly where it belongs and has not moved. Outlook file is named the default Outlook.pst
When you try to sync anything (contacts, schedule, etc) the error message is "Cannot retrieve information for Outlook folder."
Is there a configuration setting somewhere to point to the Outlook file?
What needs to be changed (cleaned up? purged? pointed to?) so Kies can find the Outlook file and a sync can actually happen?
Any constructive suggestions cheerfully accepted.
- Alternative to Kies -
On Android phone:
Contacts: save & sync with Google account, never save to Phone contacts.
Photos: save to external sdcard.
Apps: use market app AppBrain.
Appointments/calendar: sync with Google account, setup Hotmail as Exchange mail.
Read how to sync Outlook - Gmail on Google Gmail.
SMS: GO SMS Pro handles backup, or use other messaging backup app (Market) to serve stock messaging.
The Samsung USB drivers are available without installing Kies:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-1480.shtml
I usually have USB mass storage + USB debugging enabled all the time, and SGS function like an USB stick when connecting to Windows.
In case of emergency this make adb contact anytime. Freeware (win/linux/ios) QTadb is really handy in root operation.
= never use Kies
Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like
Sorry, but I was asking for a KIES solution.
There are plenty of other options, and I do NOT want a Google solution.
Appreciate your taking the time to reply, but it did not answer my problem.
Still waiting for a constructive solution.
STILL waiting for a useful response.
I am looking for how to make Kies actually work.
Or is Kies such a piece of garbage it is incapable of working?
Come on folks - Kies to sync via USB between Outlook and an Android phone.
This should be a no-brainer. It don't work! How do we make it work?
Anyone?????
Connect your VPN first if exchange server need VPN
I get the same problem with my office exchange server is in VPN.
connect the VPN and open outlook to see successfully connected or not.
Retry after connected.
The problem go away if outlook working properly.
found an app in Play Store called "Outlook Synced Note - USB Sync" not sure if it'll help but you could give it a try... also had this link on page http://www.android-sync.com/
hi there,
was wondering if there is a method to sync the contacts (and calendars) from my outlook directly? ie without going through google(sony companion)?
do i have to use myphoneexploreer? wonder if compatible?
This is also a question I've wanted answering aswell, because I'm coming over from an iPhone.

MyPhoneExplorer is really good and it's free - you cannot sync directly with Outlook.
All I did was set up my outlook email address as an account and then just select to sync calendar/contacts?
Sony PC companion syncs outlook contacts/calendars via GOOGLE account
So on the circumstances (such as for WORK), where you only just want to sync directly between PC and device, seems only something like MYPHONEEXPLORER can do.
But the thing is that i find it (MPE) quite buggy with windows 8 and newer handsets.
Any other suggestions?
Just setup exchange account(outlook) and enable sync calendar and contact.
