Help with dupplicate contacts/mutiple computers
 
Hello all,


I have a two part question. I wasnt sure if i should make two posts or one since they are sort of related but here goes. I was wondering if anyone knew of a software or a way for me to sync my ppc(touch pro), my laptop and my desktop. I mostly work on my desktop and ppc but occasionally work from my laptop and would like to have all three on the same page when it comes to contacts, calendars, and tasks.

Also, i was wondering if anyone has a way to not have duplicates when connecting to activesync and your ppc. I find myself reseting my phone a lot and i keep a copy of my contacts on my phone and find that at times when i restore my phone then sync to outlook i have multiple copies of contacts and appointments.

If anyone has any suggestions on either of these i greatly aprpeicate it.

hey bro use this program to delete the double copied of contacts on ur phone...works great cuz i have that issue to when i hard reset...a combo of having my last 3 phones ppc's and cant find the files on my desktop 2 prevent this...but this program will solve this prob...it has a secondry program in it called app2date...just delete it cuz its worthless

as far as syncing ur phone to 3 different computers shouldnt be a problem...it has a relationship with all 3 seperatly and wont interrupt the other ones...just try naming ur device so when u connect ur phone it knows its that phone thats connected...then u can connect ur wifes or girlsfriends phone to the same computer and it will kno the difference between the 2...

EDIT: i think i read ur question wrong at 1st,,.u want all 3 of ur systems ur laptop desktop etc to have the same info on each other right? hope i read this correctly...well i think ud have to have active sync on all the systems and keep them all up to date as far as what u have added to ur phone...so when u make changes sync it to each so they all can update...then when u connest to one oppse to the other there are no changes and it will sync fine...

Thanks for the quick response. The problem with activesync is that it tells me i can only have two differnt pc's synched to it. I use the program you attached to get rid some of the duplicates but was hoping that there was a way to stop the duplicating in the first place.....i could have sworn i remember an earlier version of activesync that would merge or ask about a contact before making a duplicate....or some kind of software that resembles activesync.....thanks again for ur help

OK,do you need the contacts physically on your computer? Because I use a service called Dashwire. It syncs my contacts,texts,calls.video, and pictures from my phone to the cloud. I use my computer to log in and to view contacts or try to find a phone number I called six weeks ago. I love it and it's FREE 99.

Yea, i would prefer to have a copy on my desktop via Outlook. I have tried an earlier version of Dashwire. It was nice but not something i needed/helped.

I use Sk Tools. It has a feature that u can remove duplicate calendars, contacts, tasks, etc. It is not free though
