Setting Blackberry "Desktop" contacts for display

Scenario: You connected the Blackberry phone to Outlook to transfer the contacts from BB to Outlook. On the phone, there are 250 contacts. But what is showing before synching is only 50. Where are the 200 staying from?

1. Check the BB phone if it has more than 1 email configured.
2. Next is to check the contacts from which it is displaying from, just verify if the contacts that are being displayed are coming from SIM, email1, email 2, or Desktop accounts, so you can identify the quantity of contacts and target each source differently.

From the scenario above, I have confirmed that the 50 contacts are coming from Gmail account, the other 200 contacts are from "Desktop" that I don't know what it is.
Anyway, I was able to figure out the solution to extract all 250 contacts from BB to Outlook. Pls follow the steps below:

1. Click Options
2. Device
3. Advanced System Settings
4. Default Services
5. Select Contact List (SYNC)
6. Select Desktop instead of the current selected, a Gmail account.
7. Save.
8. Now you're ready to sync it to Outlook.

Do the process of synching the BB to Outlook from this link.
Get the first 200 contacts, then go back to the default Gmail contacts and sync again into Outlook, by adding into the current Outlook contacts. You will be having the 250 contacts afterwards.

HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM IPHONE TO SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

When it comes to phone to phone contact transfer, I usually employ Outlook. The trick is connect the source phone to PC and use their software (PC Suite, etc) and sync all contacts to Outlook. Then connect the destination phone to PC and using the phone software, you can then sync Outlook into the second phone.

For this post, we are trying to transfer contacts from iPhone4S to Samsung Galaxy S3 using iTunes, Samsung Kies and Outlook.

1. Connect iPhone to PC. Using iTunes, sync to Outlook (make sure that you dont have other contacts in Outlook)

2. All contacts are now in Outlook.

3. Using Samsung Kies (pronounced as kiss), sync Outlook contacts to Samsung S3

4. All contacts are now in Android Samsung Galaxy S3. Reverse the method in transferring contacts from Samsung Android to iPhone.

SOLUTIONS TO SLOW COMPUTER

To check the specs of the computer:

Start, Run, dxdiag

- On the System tab, you can verify how many memory is installed

- page files are also displayed. Make sure that the page file is not more than half of what is available. This will affect the speed of the computer. You might want to change the digits. How?

- Right click My Computer\Advanced tab\Settings under Performance\Advanced tab\Change under Virtual Memory.

- Select No paging file, Set, Ok, restart the computer. This will reset the value to zero.

- Go back to change the virtual memory to 2048 for initial and maximum size, Set, Ok.

Secondly, you might be running a lot of processes in the background that you usually don't use.

Start\Run\msconfig\Services tab = uncheck all the items that you don't use (Yahoo updater, Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, etc.)

3rd. On the same window, go to Startup tab = uncheck all items that you don't want to run everytime the computer starts, anyway it is unnecessary. After that, click on Apply, Ok then restart the computer.

4th. Clean the computer: open My Computer, right click Local Disk (C:) properties, Disk Cleanup, check all the boxes, Ok

"Outlook is currently indexing your items. Search results may be incomplete because items are still indexed" error

It's not actually an error, it's like when you open Outlook 2007 and start using this feature to make your searching faster, this message comes out: "Outlook is currently indexing your items. Search results may be incomplete because items are still indexed". There are probable reasons why your outlook is behaving this way:

1. Your .pst files might be damaged. Use the scanpst option in your computer to scan your damaged pst files. For some reasons, I tried using this option in resolving pst files being corrupted but none so far resulted in repaired pst after scanning them. I dunno, but it's worth a try.
1A. After repair, open Outlook for an hour and see if Indexing is done. Double check through opening outlook, Tools, Instant Search, Indexing Status.

2. Your computer is indexing wrong item. check it through opening Outlook, Tools, Options, Search Options, Indexing section = select the data to index (tick it), then start indexing again.

The succeeding steps will rebuild or restore your indexing powers by doing this, if upon doing steps 1 & 2 didn't work:

3. TO RESET SEARCH OPTION
1. Close Outlook.
2. Control Panel
3. Indexing Options
4. Advanced
5. Rebuild button

4. TO RESTORE DEFAULTS
1. Click the Restore Defaults button below Rebuild.
I hope the guide will work for you.

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the outlook window. Invalid XML. The view cannot be loaded." error. Have you encountered this kind of problem using your Outlook 2007? For my friends, they had. The one I've seen was that Outlook 2007 is opened, but clicking on anything doesn't respond. It says (not responding), and other tabs on that window is pure blank. So what are the solutions for these kind of problems?

1. Start outlook in safe mode by clicking on
Start >> Run >> type outlook.exe /safe
2. It might be because of some addins:
Start >> Run >> type outlook.exe /a

To remove addins: Tools >> Trust Center >> Addins >> in drop down menu select COM Add-ins, Go

Select those add-ins Remove
3. resetting outlook:
Start >> Run >> type outlook.exe /resetnavpane
4. By deleting the roaming directory:
C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook WCS
5. Go to Add/remove programs, highlight Microsoft Outlook 2007, click on Change, then Repair, Continue. Wait until its done. Restart the computer then see if it works.

Other options are:

6. For Vista: Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt

Right click on command prompt Run as Admin

type the following: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable

This process is working in both Windows XP and Vista. I'd like to take note of the step #3 coz it really helped my friend a lot.

HOW TO UPDATE OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK (AOB) IN OUTLOOK 2007?

Scenario: My work computer is setup with Microsoft Outlook 2007 and is getting it's contact list from the Exchange server. Unfortunately, after the administrator added new contact and you search their names on your contact list (the folder set by the server or your Offline Address Book), it is not updated yet. Here is the solution:

1. Open Oulook 2007

2. Click on the arrow down beside Send/Receive button

3. Click on Download Address Book

4. The Oflfine Address Book dialogue box will be opened

5. Make sure to select the folder to where the lists are saved then OK.

6. Close Outlook then restart it.

It might take 5-10 minutes but it's worth the wait.

FYI: The reason you're not updated yet compared to other computers is because of different time frames specified on individual's outlook and so with the server too.

THUNDERBIRD'S WINGS

I recently have lots of customers who have outlook problems, like freezing or not responding.
Checking their system, they have a lot of emails that the outlook can handle, they have limited space to save their files on the hard drive, they have 1GB ram on a vista operating system, they have McAfee enabled that tremendously slows the PC down when it comes to its processes, they have viruses or spywares, the hard drive contains clutters from uninstalled software or from internet activities, an email has attachments like autocad drawings, and so forth.

I can't blame these people if they don't want to upgrade their system, all I can do is delete all those clutters, try to work the outlook on safe mode, disable all startup items and non-microsoft services from msconfig, scan the system with antivirus or antispyware, then restart the computer.

If for some reasons, that won't make the outlook work, try another email client like THUNDERBIRD. I did and it functions like no other way an outlook can. Kudos!

Where to locate .pst files on your harddrive

Premise:

1. Your Outlook should have been configured before and is working before you can find the .pst files from your hard drive

2. You should have an administrator account

3. Go to Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab, then click on “Show hidden files”, Apply then OK

4. If for some reasons when you go back to Folder Options to see if the green circle stayed on Show Hidden Files but went back to “Do not show hidden files” instead, restart the pc and check again.

5. Even if you do not perform Import/Export option in Outlook, the .pst files can be located. If hard drive crashed and you cannot run outlook anymore inside windows, there’s still hope.

All you need to do is, click on

C:\documents and settings\user\local settings\applicationdata\microsoft\outlook\archive.pst

Or

C:\documents and settings\user\local settings\applicationdata\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst

Sometimes outlook.pst or archive.pst is not on the same sequence of folders, you can use search if you want. There you go, you can have copies of pst files and you can import these files to another outlook if you want.
