Has anyone figured out how to get these two to talk together so they sync?
I can't get Media Player 10 to recognise the Exec. I can sync Ok with outlook but just can't get past the Setup bit of Media Player.
I get as far as the "Setup must be completed" then goes on about setting up a partnership with MP10 on pc, i say yes and the loop starts again
its fairly easy.
1. connect usb to pc
2. open wmp10 on pc
3. select sync tab
4. add video, pics and music
5. press start sync on wmp10 and voila.
note it must be synced to a storage card
ive just seen the storage card bit in the help file
Install Version 10 of Windows Media Player before media can be synchronized.
Connect your mobile device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device is also connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Insert a 32 MB or larger storage card in your mobile device.
Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and Windows Media Player.
my SD is already in the phone so it didnt trigger the sync.

Norton Antivirus. I'll try disabling it when I get home tonight.
ok, my home machine, no AV no Firewall setup, dosent work
work machine, AV running Firewall Running, works fine
both XP SP2 with WMP10 using AS4.1
now im puzzeled
Did you install WMP10 on your PC after installing AS4? If yes then thats the problem. AS4 installs some files for WMP10, so if you install WMP10 after AS4 then they will be overwritten. So you need to install WMP10 first, then AS4.
I read this on the MS site somewhere.
Nop AS4 was installed on both as the last thing on them.
Same here - had WMP10 on for a while now and only installed AS4.1 recently
WM10 AS4
Same here,..WM10 doesn't recordnise my MDA pro. Tried olmoast everything but still no synchronisation. In Active Sync is says to complete the Sync klick here,..and then QM10 starts up. but no way of enabling the synchronisation....
anyone had some advice?
best regards

Try completely uninstalling all antivrius, firewall, reboot and see what happens.
For that are having problems with AS4/4.1 - I have found uninstalling the COM ports can help as the USB drivers can become corrupted. Also I think you need to make sure that AS is working; do a sync before you try to connect to WM10 on this PC. I have found that my AS does not always start when I connect my JJ to may laptop.
Edit: I am not using USB2 connectors, not sure why but I remember reading I should only use USB1 ports for AS...

Jdee - spot on - works for me nicely.
Thank you ever so much - that's made my morning rush out of the door a lot easier now.
Sometimes my Qtek 9100 is being charged via the USB cable, and when i turn it on to just check something quick, it tries to sync. how do i prevent it from trying to sync? i want to be able to tell it when to connect to ActiveSync and sync.
in file -> connection settings, there is an option "open ActiveSync when my device connects" and i disabled that option, but ActiveSync would still open when I connect my Wizard.
thanks,
Annoyingly, this feature seems to have been removed from AS 4.0/4.1. In previous versions you used to be able to specify Sync on connect/ manually.
Double click on the ActivSync icon on PC, then File > Connection Settings.
Uncheck "Allow USB connections".
Click OK, you are done.

yeah, i'll live with that while they are improving on this very limited version of activesync.
shallax,
does AS 4.1 have backup/restore feature?
or sync over WiFi?
thanks,
No and no :\
For backups, I'm waiting for Sprite to get their asses in gear.
If card export 2 works with WM5 it will give you an option to connect via active sync OR via USB mass storage (which locks the SD card) but still helps you out,,,
everyone should use card export 2!
why is it so hard to put USB 2.0 in device like the HTC Wizard. it would've made the device much more usable with card export.
Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?
You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..
I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?
Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.
I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.
i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

WM5storage doesn't work for me.

but when I disable that I get an error:
failed to disable RNDIS to use serial
even when I disable active sync to use USB when cradled.

Ah, but have you tried this?
Goto: Start Menu > settings > Connections > USB to PC
Now, untick the box that says: "Enable advanced network functionality"
Now try reconnecting your Hermes!
Tried this, found it to be the best:

Works on wm5 haven't tried it on wm6 yet (will install it soon) it's not free but it's worth it to try out the demo and see for yourself.
If you want to sync your Ameo with your Mac then you will find it won't with the current version of MissingSync
However, conbrio, over on the MissingSync forum, has a found a solution...

I used the PalmSolo download and it works fine apart from file sync is a bit slow (Syncing to Storage Card and not MicrosDrive - MissingSync does not seem to see the MicroDrive??) Could just be the cheap 2GB MiniSD card though And you have to re-run the software when you soft-reboot and set the sync back to serial. Maybe worth putting a link in your startup?
Hope this helps,
Russ
There is another way to sync your Ameo with your Mac via Missing Sync. This way does not require any other software. It also keeps the setting changes after soft resets and seems more reliable.
If you use WisBar or something similiar it is probably best to exit it, otherwise you cannot get to this screen - a possible WisBar bug?
1. From the menu go 'Settings' / 'Connections' / 'USB to PC'
2. Uncheck the tick box 'Enable advanced network functionality'
3. Probably best to re-boot you Mac and soft reset your Pocket PC and check this tick box is still unchecked (unticked).
4. Then plug-in and away you go. It seems to be a lot more releiable than the previous method. I'm using the latest beta of MissingSync.
Hope this helps fellow Mac bods out there...
Russ
p.s. file sync is still very slow - but hey - too much funkiness is probably not a good thing.

if you don't have sd, see the microdrive very well
I am using MissingSync and bluetooth and it works almost flawlessly. I can sync everything and I can even use the internet sharing capabilities of my Ameo. The only issue I have is transferring large files over to the device. This issue is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed with the next release.
I can really recommend this product to every Mac user!
pc dosent detect my device at all
can any one help.when i connect it to the pc it just charges my x7510.i did hard reset.it use to connect fine before
Are there any apps that put the phone into like a media storage mode so I can connect to a computer without active sync and still be able to add files to the sd card inside?
I need the same thing. I'm using WM6.

Hi,
Not 100% sure I understand what your trying to do?
I think your trying to move files to and from your SD Card without using activesync?
If so: You have many options.....
~Bluetooth Explorer - It's like having a Shared folder, where you can pull only the needed files you want to keep and copy / paste them anywhere on your WM6 device.
~SD Card Reader - Via Stand alone or a printer to move files back and forth
~Bluetooth FTP - (My Favorite) Move Files and Folders - To & From (PC & PDA)
~WIFI - Depending on your network setup
~Internet Sharing - Via Bluetooth or USB (May need to look at your network setup & security)
~Remote Desktop - Via Bluetooth or USB (Security & Network settings may need to be changed)
Hope this helps!

I'm using Resco Explorer 2007 which allows me to, via wifi, connect to 2 of the computers within my private network. Set up a folder dedicated for PPC files and mapped a network drive to it on my 8525.
I have not been able to connect via wifi to my windows server 2003 machine though.
You want the wm5torage application - it will allow you to put your WM5 or WM6 device into a mode that makes it act as a Mass Storage Device.
The only caveat is that it needs to lock the SD card before putting the device in Mass Storage Mode, so you must install any applications that run constantly (i.e. programs that have Today screen plugins, like Skype) into the device and not on the SD card, or it won't work.
The latest version I know of (that I use) is version 1.73, but there is apparently a version 1.75 at http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1543.

I have this program, but I *constantly* get CRC errors when transferring a couple of files..its so bad that the app basically doesn't work when transferring more than a couple of megs of data.
Anyone else see this?
