Contact Photo/Outlook Sync

Anmeldedatum: 25.12.2010 Beiträge: 19

Hi,

I have the same problem with contact pictures.

If I set a contact photo on the phone or in Outlook, MPE does not sync it to the other side. I mean, If I set it on the phone, it does not appear in Oulook, except a black square. I have the same in MPE.

When I set it in Oulook, it does not get to the phone. A grey square gets visible on the phone, which says for me that something was synced, but it is not the actual picture.

Also, when I sync the photo, it deletes the birthday of the contact.

I can set contact photo on the phone, so it handles the contact pictues.

Please advise. Thanks!

If this is the only change on this contact, mpe doesn't recognize the change. You have to change at least one other field or use right click -- force as edited.

Btw: Which phone?

Yes, I did. I made changes, so it should have been transferred to the phone. Actually the change itself is transferred, except the contact picture. And the other effect is that when I modify the contact picture, MPE deletes the birthday of the contact on both the phone and in Outlook.

Phone type: Commtiva Z71

OK, sorry about that. I thought there may be users who had the same problem.

I have the opposite problem. I have assigned a load of contact pictures on my phone, and I want them to go back into Outlook. However, as no other fields have changed there is nothing to sync. I tried using the 'force as edited' option in the MPE interface, but this didn't do anything.

Is there something I'm missing? How can I get the contact pictures from my phone transferred into Outlook?

I an using an HTC Desire HD, MPE 1.8.1 and Outlook 2003.

Hmm - you have to make a slight change in the contacts of Outlook (f.e. some dummy chars into contactnote). Then set the sync to "Force phone->Outlook" and then sync

That works. However, I have several hundred contacts and it would be a right pain to go through and do this for all the ones I have set a photo for... and virtually impossible to keep up to date when further photos are added in the future.

It would be great if there were a way of making this happen automatically (i.e. if phone has photo and Outlook doesn't, to recognise that the contact is dirty and in need of synching).

(that reply was from me, by the way).
