Please help! im dying without my contacts. this is what happened (typing with my 8525 so bare with me)
I had black satin on my 8525. I have done a couple rom changes and the contact list always resynced automatically everytime.
I had to reformat my computer but I had saved my WM_James_Klafe2 file.
a few days ago I reflashed my 8525 with a new rom and when I synced the phone to the laptop it created a new phone name and folder WM_Owner
when I try to sync contacts through activsync it says I need to disconnect phone, install outlook, run outlook and resync.
I haven't lost anything from reformatting have I? I had a microsoft office 2000 cd but its all scratched and won't install. I downloaded a trial version of student office but it didn't help my situation at all. and I didn't even see outlook in the office student 2007 edition anyway.
in the name of god please help im lost.
just now, with my 8525 disconnected from my laptop. I changed the name on my 8525 from WM_Owner to WM_James_Klafe2 which is what my cell was before and that's the name on the folder on my pc that is holding all my info.
but everytime I connect my cell to my pc via activesync it defults back to WM_Owner.

Try this,
Copy the contents of you sync folder to another folder.
delete the partnership and create a new one.
sync with the new partnership.
then copy all the contents that you saved to that folder.
This worked for me....I sync between two laptops and do this quite often.
Hope that helps.....

still no luck. I tried it and it didn't change anything. still no contacts added to my phone.
I think it has something to do with me not having microsoft outlook installed to my computer but I don't know why it matters. I never used outlook anyway.
on activesync, "contacts" are not one of the "information types" that are sync'ed. On Activesync, when I go to Tools, Options, then try to select Contacts as an item to sync I get a message that says "Activesync cannot synchronize Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes, because outlook is not installed on Windows PC. To Sync Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes do the following: Disconnect the device, Install and run outlook, and then reconnect the device and try again."
I have outlook express on my pc but that doesn't seem to be good enough.

Sorry dude - Contacts are stored within a file called "outlook.pst" on your PC and not in the syncronised folder(there is sometimes a backup file too called backup.pst), this is a file for Microsoft Outlook NOT Outlook express and it usually lives somewhere around c:/docs & settings/<profilename>/local settings/application data/outlook (varies a tad from OS to OS)
If you still have this file or a backup *somewhere* on your PC (use your search facility) and can re-install Outlook - then you will be able to import this file into Outlook and your contacts from the outlook.pst file will resync to your phone.
If you have deleted (or no longer have) this file on your PC - and you have not used something like PIMbackup on your Hermes then sorry - they've gone.
For information - Outlook contacts is a 2-way sync - ie, scrub your phone and it gets them from the PC. Scrub your PC and it gets them from your phone. Scrub both and they're gone for good unless you've made a backup of either one or the other. Same goes for email, calendar and tasks.

To fix this you need to go to settings>system>About>device ID. You can change the name of your ppc that way (or you can for the Hermes).
Cheers...
Awsome!

I was having the same problem as TC, but that did the trick. Thanks Ultra!
sorry to invade this topic but i have a similar problem in the reversed form however .
i recently formatted my PC but being the idiot i am, i forgot to backup the *.pst file from the Outlook folder. now i still have all my contacts in my phone, but i wanted to know how to transfer them over to Outlook.
Resync to pc after installing outlook. When it asks if you wish to combine or replace items on pc pick combine. If you pic replace it will replace with all the contacts in outlook (none) and unless you have pim backup or another backup of your contacts you will loose everything...
Cheers...
Hello.
I am looking for an app to sync my hero over wifi with itunes on a mac.
I have found TuneSync which seems to be exactly what I want but for Windows only.
My phone is rooted.
Thanks
Dave.

Yes, as far as I know a program called discover pro allowed you transfer your files to your phone without a cable(via wifi), but I don't think it'll be recognized by iTunes...
Yet, hero doesn't need iTunes to sync music at all, you just copy your music to the folder and it'll find it.
Hope these may help.
when I connected my phone with my computer I could see my pictures in the DCIM folder.
Now I can no longer see the thumbnails. I just see a windows pictures icon.
can somebody help me with his ?
Hi All,
I have a few questions about pictures and music
Pictures
I use Kies and have selected some pictures to sync to my device from the PC. Nice and easy it upload the pictures stored on the computer.
However when viewing on the handheld the pictures are not in the folders that where on my PC. They are all together or separated by date. Is there a way that I can keep all the pictures in the separate folders just like on my PC. For example Xmas 2009 – Peters Birthday 2010 which contain the relevant pictures?
If I then change my mind and I don’t want those pictures on my device I could remove via Kies. I selected the folders on the Kies menu and removed the check box. Let the computer sync but found that the pictures where still on my device. Does Kies not work like this? In the end I had to go onto my phone via the PC sync cable and manually remove the pictures.
I take pictures with my phone all the time and like to locally store a copy. I used the Kies export method but that removes all the pictures you but on the phone from the PC as well!!!!
Is there a way to export the pictures from your device that are not on your computer already?
Google + / Picaso
Is it possible to also store a local copy of pictures taken to the external SD card and upload to google +?
Music
This one is a bit of a mind blower for me.
So I sync music via Kies onto my phone which is set up to store to the external memory first. The songs find their way onto the SD card but not in the album folders! And the phone does not see the music folders on the SD card.
So what I have to do it manually drag and drop the folders / Albums onto the internal memory of the phone and all is fine.
Do I have something set up wrong?
Thanks
Mat
Something else to add to my list of questions in my contacts each contact has a face picture (which I know you can customise). However they are all different colours is there any reason for this?
I have the AT&T HTC One and I'm trying to import my photos and videos into Lightroom. I have Lightroom on my PC (Windows 8) and on my Mac (Mountain Lion). If I plug my photo into my PC, Lightroom sees all of the photos, but it also sees all of the artwork, widget png's, and every other image on the phone so it's very tedious having to deselect hundreds of photos that I don't want to import.
On my Mac, when I plug in the phone, it does not show up in Lightroom's import dialog. I do see the entire phone contents in Finder, but it doesn't have a source listed in Lightroom. Also, an app called "HTC Sync Manager" pops up on both computers. I assume this is some HTC software, but I don't know if I need it or not, or if it will help? I don't really want to have to copy the photos to the computer first and then import again through Lightroom.
On my previous phones (and on the iPhone), I just plug the phone in and it shows just my photos from the camera roll or photo gallery, which is what I want.
Can anyone help? This is my first HTC phone, so I'm not sure how to properly import photos and videos into Lightroom. Thanks!
