I have my XDAII synching with my desktop computer. I'm getting rid of my desktop and replacing it with a notebook computer.
I want my XDAII to now be managed & synched by my notebook computer.
Is there an easy way to transfer over all the synch info, installed program info etc to the Notebook computer?
Thanks,
Tim
i would try to install activesync on the laptop
then i would get
Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\*.*
and also
Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents\My pocketpc
or what ever that last dir is named
of cause some programs will install in all kinda of odd paths before installing to the pda i dont really know good way to get all those along
of cause stuff like contacts and appointmens and such will just be sync'd to the laptop when you connect the xda to it
Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

@ xpirate
You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync
I don´t know what happen with the activesync and w2005. I cannot synconize because a hardware happen in the device manager.
The error is in the device manager-network adapters- windows mobile-base.
thanks for the help.

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...
Patric
can instal 2005 on my xda2
hey i downloaded the win2005 and active sync 4 but when iam flashing ma rom and instaling the file an error says that cannot connect or smthn or an error in connection why is that ?
any progress
Same error Pschosch
No Progress what so ever!!
ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..
Since I have upgraded my Qtek 9000 with the latest O2 ROM (and deleted all the O2 stuff in order to get more free space), I have had a problem (or at least that is when I think the troubles started).
ActiveSync works for all items except for Files.
Files are deleted from the sync folder on the desktop PC(s), but luckily the files remains on the device. I can put a file in the desktop folder and it is synced to the Universal. Next time I reconnect the file is deleted from the desktop folder but remains on the Universal. I am using 2 Desktop PC’s (both with XP), and they both have the same problem.
Until the upgrade (or sometime near that point in time) file sync with the Universal and the 2 desktop PCs was functioning flawlessly.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Steen
Any ideas - please
Steen
OK, normally the procedure would be copy the files I want to keep and sync it, but I won't be near my sync pc for a bit (just a work PC)
Should I partner my work PC and sync as normal? Will that screw up my contacts with my work's exchange server contacts?
Should I just be patient and wait until I can sync with my own PC instead?
Can I sync with my own PC over GPRS? eg my own PC runs an exchange server.
Anything be note when going from the original English t-mobile MDA Pro rom to the lastest version of the same?
Is it possible to sync files between my computer without hooking it up to the data cable?
Since I'm now online with an Exchange server I really have no other need to plug in the data cable so I was wondering how one can sync files?
If I could see the phone on my home network from XP I could run create a sync profile in my backup program but I've been told the phone can see network shares but vice-versa. Strange.
Thanks
David
If you sync the device once with ActiveSync, you can then use Bluetooth to sync... from your device.
Other then that, search G00gle for a PocketPC sync application
