9500/9300 Contacts/Calendar Sync with Outlook

At the moment, my only connection option is the USB data cable.

I have tried starting the synch from phone and 9500 with no success. I am rather confused by the different settings in PC Suite and on my 9500. I have scanned through the forum and am still unclear about the setup. I have tried adjusting these withiout success so far. I have identified the following fields that may have an imapct:

On the 9500

a) Synchronization / PC Suite profile / general
- profile name
- connection type
- Host address
- allow server alert
- accepted

b) Synchronization / PC Suite profile / user
- user name
- password
- confirm password
- HTTP authentication

c) Synchronization / PC Suite profile / contents / contacts
- local database
- remote database - what goes here if you have say "Contacts - RJP" in Outlook?
- synchronisation type

d) Synchronization / PC Suite profile / contents / calendar
- local database
- remote database
- synchronisation type

e) Device manager / PC Suite profile / profile settings / server
- server name
- server id (ghosted out on mine)
- pasword (ghosted out on mine)
- confirm password (ghosted out on mine)
- active
- accepted

e) Device manager / PC Suite profile / profile settings / connection (tab ghosted out on mine - don't know what the individual fields might be)

f) Device manager / PC Suite profile / profile settings / user
- user name
- password
- confirm password

g) Contol panel / Connections set up / cable setup / data cable mode

Nokia PC Suite

A) PC Sync / advanced / conflict resolution

B) PC Sync / advanced / Sync profile
- username
- password

c) PC Sync / Microsoft Outlook
- profile
- select folders / calendar
- select folders / tasks
- select folders / contacts

Would some kind person please publish a complete list of the settings they use for all these fields that works for them? Also please add any fields I have missed.

Thanks very much.....

Have you tried resetting your phone to factory settings (so you get everything back to how it was ?). Particularly with USB cable you don�t have to mess around with any of the settings above, default settings should work.

Hi,
for sychronization with pc using DKU-2 cable is very easy.
1 install PC Suite (6.6) on ur PC
2 follow the steps ahead
3 connect the cable to pc & to handset
4 now pc will install the drivers for the handset automatically.
5 after all this ur pc will say 'your new hardware is installed and ready to use'.
6 now, open the PC Suite and click on Sync.
7 now select the outlook type and things to be synchronized by following simple steps in the pc itself.
8 At last it wil ask you to sync ur phone with the pc select yes and it will start synchronization.
if in any case or at any point of time u are not able to sync with ur pc. Open the pda of ur phone goto>>tools>>sync>>menu>>tools>>reset pc suite profile. & try again. if still not working then uninstall the pc suite and install it again after restarting ur pc.then try again it will work for sure.
byee.
Regards

After 3 to 4 synchronizations with my new 9300 two weeks ago week, i started to get persistent synch failure errors on my phone. I could not synch my phone with my notebook outlook.

I am planning to upgrade my cellphone sofware to 5.XX

But just tonight, I was finally able to synch by just using the contacts checked, then uncheked contacts and synch my calendar after. I guess there is just too many data to synch when both are checked and especailly when the time period configured for the calendar is 1 year timeframe or more.

Just the same i will upgarde my software and see if there will be no problems in the future. I just have to back-up all date to the MMC before the upgrade.
