iPAQ is the series of Pocket PC and digital assistants that are currently marketed by HP (Hewlett-Packard). The device allows you to manage your Outlook emails, contacts and calendar and data of various Windows Mobile Office applications. Since while this process, Outlook data (.pst) file is directly affected, chances are that this may corrupt your PST. As a result, you can notice different issues when attempting to sync Outlook data file objects. To solve this behavior, you need a perfect Microsoft Outlook Recovery

tool in case if Scanpst.exe fails and backup is not available.

For instance, suppose you use an HP iPAQ to synchronize contacts with MS Outlook. You observe that Outlook cannot sync all contacts and only few of them are displayed in HP device.

Cause

Some possible reasons for this issue to occur are:

1-You are using a filter to view the contacts and all of them are not selected to sync

2-Your HP iPAQ is having some issues

3-Some contacts are using unexpected characters

4-Outlook installation is damaged

5-Outlook data file is corrupted

Solution

You should try these fixes to solve the described problem:

1-You need to click Menu | Filter and ensure that 'All Contacts' option is selected to sync

2-You can reset your HP iPAQ, using methods like clean reset, soft reset and hard reset. You should try using a different device.

3-To check if the contacts contain unexpected characters, you can export your Outlook contacts to a CSV (Comma-separated values) file and open in another application to view and remove the strange characters.

4-To repair the damaged Outlook installation, you can use Outlook's Detect and Repair utility. As a last resort, you should reinstall Outlook. It is highly recommended to backup your PST first.

5-You can create a new Outlook data file and export you contacts to see if this works to sync. Later, you can export all Outlook data also. However, if you fail in these attempts, the file might be highly damaged. You need to repair it using Outlook Scanpst.exe application or restore from the current backup.

At times, when the backup proves worthless and Outlook repair tool also seems to fail, you need a third-party solution of PST Recovery. Designed to use safe scanning techniques, these Microsoft Outlook Recovery tools provide instant and comprehensive file repair.
