So I want to synchronize Calendar between Outlook and P910. I installed PC Suite 3.0.0, connected desk stand to my computer with Xp Sp2. XP sees the phone. In synchronization settings I checked calendar and selected to synchronize all information. I can start synchronization and when process finishes I can't see any errors. BUT, when I look at calendar in my phone there are no appointments in there:( What I am doing wrong there? My phone is with latest firmware I just bought it yesterday. HELP ME!:)

synchronizing contacts and calendar items are not the same thing. There should be a setting to synch appointments and to do lists.

I suspect your conflict resolution settings are wrong. You need to make sure that when you sync the first time, your settings dictate that all info in the PC will be kept and all info in the phone (i.e. none) will be overwritten.

I agree with dave_uk, check the 3rd tab in sync settings to ensure force full sync is set and the middle option below that as dave_uk described

Sorry sorry guys:) I was talking about calendar entries, not a contacts. My mistake:( I checked calendar entries option, checked full synchronization. As for middle buttos I'll try to do as dave says. My option was: "Select Last Changed Item". I'll try right away:)

I have two machines (office and home) with the same Windows XP SP2, firewall, software, settings ...
Never managed do make it sync with the office computer, but at home works just fine. I can't figure where's the differences in configuration!!
It does not detect Outlook 2003, although is working fine (firewall disconnected).
Anyway, about the question:
I've found that the national holidays and events Outolook 2003 automatically downloads from the Net are never sento to the phone. I've tried every setting, overwriting the phone, etc.
Maybe there are some types of calendar events that never syncronized?
My humble oppinion, after 1 week of use, is that besides the P910 is an excelent machine, the software the is worst I've seen, specially when compared with the Palm platform.
SE software is *primitive* and full of stupid bugs!
** Edit:
Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it's not syncronizing any events at all!!

So an update:
Settings:
Data Types tab - checked calendar, settings button - synchronize all scheduled appointments.
Standard synchronization tab - automatically resolve conflicts - keep items in computes blah blah
Full synchronization tab - force full synchronization and keep all items in compyter.
After that pressed synchronize. It ended with ok status. After that still empty calendar, no appointments:(
Posted by dave_uk
This might sound stupid, but have you checked that all the calendar entries haven't been deleted from Outlook, since you've been playing with the sync. I did that once. If you selected last changed item, and no entries appeared on the phone, chances are they have been sync'ed as blank!

Mine are still there in Outlook, but none in the P910.

I can see all entries in Outlook too:) In phone Calendar --> Remove entries option is dimmed so I think that my phone's calendar is empty:(

One more update:
Tried to create simple task and synchronize to my phone. It appeared in there without any problems:/ But no calendar entries:(:(:(
Posted by rimvydukas
And one more happy update:)
_LAU_ you can try this:)
I've found the following - all my appointments was set as all day appointments. I created one appointment to last lets say only for 8 hours, not all day. And After synchronization it appeared on the phone's calendar:/ What a nonsense:)
_LAU_ check your appointments.
I do not know why it doesn't want to synchronize all day appointments:((((

Well, I've had my P910i for just under a week and I love it. BUT I just can't syncronise. I have tried Bluetooth, I have tried the SyncStation, nothing works. Both the SyncStation and Bluetooth are fine for transferring files, I just can't syncronise. I have tried the above to no avail. It has the little animation of the flying paper and then a popup with Syncronisation Failed. It's really pissing me off.

I had such a problem. It's not SE's software fault but outlook's. Change outlook's configuration & everything will work fine.

which oprions in Outlook, could you please expand on that?
Posted by rimvydukas
Check you events recurrence. If it starts to much in the past synchronization will fail:(

Sony Ericsson definately must hate Microsoft (and Outlook).
This sync "thing" is the most buggy software I've found to date.

You HAVE TO select MS Internet Explorer as default Internet Browser! Check under "extra" -> internet options. I don`t know why but I had the same problem until somebody gave me that hint. Hope it works for Y'all, too!

I wish it was that simple. I never had another browser installed besides IE ...

i have checked sync station settings to have computer override phone (910i) and synch software triplicates appointments on both phone and computer and aborts contact synch although contacts are transferred with some duplicated. This is running outlook on a corporate network with exchange. It does seem to be the recurring appointments that get triplicated. I amk going back to v2 to see if that helps.

what else software is availble for schduling on pc ? doesn't SE provides its own software which can be used like OUTLOOK ?
PALM had there own software palm one where we setup and sync all information. sync with outlook is not good idea because microsoft products are crap anyway.

Ok, I had that issue the first time I tried syncing my P910. Here's a solution I found:
1) Update your Office XP with the latest Office patch (This is actually the one that causes a lot of the sync problems)
2) Outlook has to be set as your default mail program. (shut down all other email programs, then restart Outlook)
That should solve your Calendar sync problem.

yeah i knew it must be Microsoft problem but does SE software include its own scheduling and contact manager software ?

Hi, I have the same problem, ie.e cannot synchronize with Outlook it keeps telling me ...either there is no default mail client.....Please run MS Outlook and set it as the default mail client" What on earth does this mean and where can I set such a thing????
I have nothing on Outlook as I don't use it having had everything on Palm up to now. Rather than introducing all data into Outlook and synchronizing PC to Phone could I use my Palm data instead in some manner? Is there any device/Program that could do this for me????
Thanks a million

Hi All, Itīs the first time I join a forum and this is because I had to. I've been using P910 since a while and never could synchronize with Outlook Calendar.
Finally, thanks to jplacson posted solution it was possible and it seems to be working ok...
I'll let you know further if I have any problems
Regards,

man, what a nightmare. I was about to start using outlook so that I could sync all my appointments but after reading this I'll forget it. Pity, I hope they've sorted this issue for the p990

Hi
Actually I just recently got my P910i used, and I never had an SE before. All of this said, Synchronizing went like a breeze. I read that the new version of SE sync software is more compatible with Outlook. I have the SE 3.11 version, and Outlook 2003, even recurring events are synched, contacts, notes, tasks (todos), the whole nine yard.
Happy camper here....
Ben
