XDA Orbit Activesync Problem

[barera]

Hello,

I loaded the CD that came with the Orbit and installed Outlook that came on the cd too...I can sync the phone with my pc, but then when I go to outlook there is NOTHING, no contacts, no notes, no nothing! what am I doing wrong?

[waring192]

are you using vista?

[barera]

no, I am using XP home

I just discovered that I can access my notes in outlook , so they were obviously transferred successfuly from the xda...but I cannot find my contacts in outlook at all!!

[barera]

any advice? anyone??

Within activesync..."options"...is there a tick in the "contacts" checkbox?

update to Activesync 4.5 if it isn't. Have you tried changing any of the connection settings?

Wait a minute...are you saying the contacts "button" isn't listed down the LHS of Outlook on your PC?...or that it's there but there are no contacts in the right-hand pane?

there has been a development since my last post...I have synchronised again today and now 2 contacts appear out of about 200 that are on my phone..interestingly these two contacts I added to the phone within the past couple of days...the rest were transferred from my previous phone!

Also at the top of the pane it says: "Outlook Data File: (none)(2 items)"
