Task reminder time not syncing when set in MS Outlook 2003 - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I've just started to use Outlook 2003 (more regularly) to create tasks; I almost always set a reminder to go with it.
The problem is that a reminder set in Outlook is not getting sync'd with the PDA- looking at the PDA just shows the task as if a reminder was not set.
It works the other way round, i.e. setting a task/reminder on PDA would sync correctly with the PC.
N.B. The time for both devices is in sync; running Pocket Informant on the PDA. ActiveSync version 3.8.
In PI, The option: "Task Alarm Monitor Active on Sync" is set to YES
I can't remember, but I don't think this was an issue with Outlook XP.
Is this a known issue? Any resolution?
Thanks.

Try upgrading ActiveSync to version 4.5!

syncing on two pc's and dismissing reminders over and over..

I sync my Vario on two pcs's: at work using mobile activesync and at home. Somehow I always have all reminders on each pc AND on my device. If I dismiss a reminder on my pda, then sync, I will get the reminder again on my pc. I get very tired of dismissing the same reminders over and over again. Are my settings incorrect?
anyone?
Is Mobile activesync even capable of syncing reminders?
I use a Magician, but I'm also not happy with ActiveSync. Syncing on two PCs often doubles my series appointments. And this *****.
Same problem here (although I sync with only one PC), I get annoying reminders from the PC for passed appointments/tasks that I've dismissed on my phone. I think I should be able to get the Outlook not to remind me, but well, I rather have a few more annoying clicks than to miss any appointments. But it would be great if someone finds a solution to this.
Hi,
I sync with two PC's - Work and Home with no problems at all.
(Active Sync 4.1.0 Build 4841) However - and this may be the difference - I do not use Outlook - I use mNotes to sync with work emails, meeting , contacts etc and use this as the master for all my details. At home I disable all syncing actions and just use it for upadating Pocket Weather, Journal bar and other programs that download from the internet.
I still get reminders etc but only once and only those that are due - it doesn't matter which PC I'm connected too.
Regards,
Chris.
Sometimes I think the not syncing of reminders screws everything up. I don't know how activesync syncs appointments but sometimes I lose appointments. If I change an appointment on my pda and dont sync yet, I will get a reminder on my pc (for the old unchanged appointment). After I dismiss that I think that is registered as a change to the appointment. Since the latest change is now made on my pc, after syncing my old appointment appears on both devices. annoying.
bump. I searched the net and this forum and can't find anything about how to fix this.

activesync & calendar problem

Hi, I'm having difficulties using my calendar at the moment. The calendar I'm using is Outlook 2003. I can sync my calendar if I put an appointment from my computer, but not if I add the appt from my mda vario. not sure whats happened it was working fine, any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
You may need to look at your activesync settings, look in tools, options. Also you could try deleting the mobile device profile and then re-connect the phone and let it rebuild.
My Wizard and compute was sny.But when I install some software,It is sey not find Windows CE.Or sey not sny.

Tired of Active Sync...what are my options

Out of the blue I am getting an error when sync with ActiveSync:
Support Code: 86000107
I have surfed all day and have found nothing to fix this issue. Are there other apps I can use to sync with Outlook?
I do not sync Exchange
In Outlook all I sync are:
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Task
Ewallet
Pocket Quicken
No emails
What other sync programs can I use with Outlook & the device?
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
Not aware of any other app that can sync. But you can try the following to fix this issue:-
1) Try deleting the existing partnerships in active sync (Open activesync on your PC - File - delete mobile device. Reconnect and try again
2) If that does not fix the issue, uncheck all the sync items and add them one at a time back with a sync in between each addition. Sometimes your tasks folder or calendar can cause this issue.
This is also a know issue with Microsoft so if the above doesnt help try searching for this error code at the MS forums or try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2100290
Visto Mobile will sync with Outlook and Exchange. There's a personal and a corporate edition:

You didn't happen to have sync'd an email with an attachment just before it died did you? Or does the very next email in line that would have sync'd have an attachment? If so let me know what kind it is. We ran into a similar error (Wish I could remember if it was the same exact # right now) at work before.

ActiveSync, error 0x86000108

Dear Folks, I am having a problem Syncing.
It has worked fine for about a week - but it will now not Sync. Additionally, every time I try to Sync the HD2 puts some 20+ entries on today's date in my Outlook 2003.
Frequently, when I try to Sync it will crash Outlook.
I have uninstalled all "Partnerships" on HD2 and PC. I have uninstalled the ActiveSync software on my Win7 (64nit) and reestablished the partnerships all without success.
If I do not Sync with the Calendar, it will Sync OK, without crashing. However, if I add Calendar to the Sync objects, it will not complete.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

cable sync or bluetooth??
bluetooth with many entries causes problems sometimes (for me)
Activ Synch
I know it sound silly but do you find you can sync with one machine but after synching with the other it will not work with the first?
On win 7 before connecting try opening ActivSynch on the mobile, clicking options and de-selecting all items. Click OK and the re-open options and re-select the sync items. OK again and connect to your pc.
For XP when you have connected the phone open activ sync on the pc and de-select the sync items. OK and then go back in and re-select before ok'ing again.
I know this sounds long winded and is a pain to use but it seems to be when you are synching to 2 machines rarther than just one. I tend to suynch at homeweekly and work daily!

Try running compact on outlook data files. (Tools - account settings - data files - double click the data file(s) to open properties and click compact now.)
Also worth running a scan for errors on the .pst file.
Theres a how-to HERE
Hello
Think about your firewall, that can also cause the problem

I'm having a similar problem when trying to sync with Exchange 2003 SBS SR2.
Emails and contacts are fine and sync well as long as I'm not trying to sync calendar events. As soon as I check the box for calendar events I get an error, although it's not the same error code as the original poster it's the same result.
I'm running WWE 1.66.
Dear Folks,
Now working - I had corruption on my PST. Used "samsamuel's" idea and then upgraded to Outlook 2007 and then archieved all old emails and calendar events older than 14 months.
Now works!

How to copy a single reminder from MS outlook to my Palm Treo?

Hello everybody,
After i used my Activesync to synchronize from phone device to desktop, i lost my reminders from my phone but i can still find them on my desktop microsoft outlook under calendar, is it possible to copy a single reminder back to my phone and how?
Thank you very much for our help.
Have you configured the activesync to use Outlook?
What outlook are you working with?
Once you configure activesync or the Windows Mobile Device Center to work with Outlook, you go to Outlook, you can make a reminder under "tasks" or "calendar" you only have to set an alarm(date and time) for that event.
very simple.
Sorry for the grammar.
Also if you use a reminder daily, weekly or so, you can configure that, but you must set the periodicity of the event.
I am using Microsoft outlook to synchronize with my mobile, but i need to copy one of those reminders that i have on MS Outlook back to my phone calendar how to do that ?
Thank you for your answer.
i would suggest sending via bluetooth, that way you can select an appointment and then click file, send via bluetooth. otherwise, i am not sure... good luck
