Categories seem to be ignored by the N900 Calendar app - but they are not lost from Outlook when I synchronize.

They seem to have been preserved ok. I have one daily repeat, with a start and end date, and some exclusions. That is displayed OK in the N900 Calendar but displays the tag:

(Complex repeat. Unable to edit.)

if I go to edit it on the N900. I think it displays on the right days, 'though.

Tasks (and Notes) are sync-ed into the Calendar. Again, no obvious support for categories. (I didn't expect 'Notes' to be inside the Calendar app - it was only whilst checking for the Tasks that I 'found' them - so thank you for your question!)

Thx for the details, much appreciated. At least there is basic support for USB synk to Outlook. Another question: multiple calendars: will they sync? (One could keep a seperate calendar for Tasks, including the alarms and recurrings.)

I don't know about that, I'm afraid ... I'm rather hesitant to experiment too much with multiple N900 calendars until I have properly migrated my life from my E71. I seem to be rather on the bleeding edge here, playing with new phone and a beta version of Outlook 2010!

Understood. I'll give it a go this week. Hope there is good news to report.

No, only the default calendar can be synced with Outlook via PC Suite. The reason is that only one calendar per time can be synchronized and PC Suite chapel is not editable in the device (it is hidden - "settings can be edited via computer" banner is displayed)

Hello,

I have this same problem with following parameters:

N900 FW Version: 1.2009.42-11
IBM X60s Lenovo
Outlook 2007

Sync method: Bluetooth

Problem: Syncing does not work after PC-suite upgrade.

When I reboot my N900 (to make sure it is fresh for testing) and start syncing it with PC-Suite mentioned above, the first sync seems to do something. It runs the amount of objects in phone / computer databases (=does the sync). Then synchronization stops and 2 errors are shown in the PC-suite's list (warnings).

When I try to re-sync immediately after the first sync, the synchronization doesnt show anymore the amount of objects on the PC-suite screen, but just sops into an error (one warning occured). The warning tells that phone didn't answer. I need to reboot my N900 to get the first two errors to occure again.

And yes..the phone and computer are able to connect via bluetooth after this problem, as the blue bluetooth icon lights up everytime I try to do the syncing again (I quess it approves that at least in some extent).

I recall that I have been able to sync these devices and Outlook version before the upgrade of the PC-suite application. --> I strongly think that this problem is therefore related to pc-suite :-)

Additional info: Removing the notes or other content from the synced content list (in PC-suite) does not have any effect on this case.

Hello again,

I removed the PC-suite version 7.1.40.1 with Windows "add or remove programs" -feature. Then I downloaded PC-Suite version 7.1.30.9 from Nokia (Finnish version: http://www.nokia.fi/asiakastuki-ja-o...pc-suite/lataa). Foudn the version mentioned above by searching PC-Suite for E61i.

Then I installed that "older" version and synchronization works like a charm again with N900. My PC and N900 versions and configurations are the same as before. Just PC-suite was downgraded.

Hi all,
I did it the other way around. I am running Windows Vista and upgraded to PC-suite version 7.1.40.1 and it syncs just fine with my N900 FW Version: 1.2009.42-11. The PC-Suite version 7.1.30.9 also worked.
There are other PC Suite features that are not working, e.g. Message viewing or using the N900 as a modem (Quick Connect to Internet). Fair enough, the PC Suite indicates that it is not fully compatible with the attached phone.

Er, that would be the one cryptically labelled 'Notes' then?

I want to sync my Thunderbird/lightning email program/calender with my N900 this doesn't work via PC suite. It will only sync with Outlook or Eudora. Anyone ideas how to get a sync or do I have to start using Gmail calender?
