I can connect my Wizard via usb/activesync but I can't transfer pictures! I actually can't transfer ANY files. I can see them, but when I go to copy them to my computer it doesn't work. Any ideas?

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
Hi all,
I am trying to access files on my pc whilst connected through active sync on my pocket pc (win03) I want to be able to view and play media files with any app. I have been completely baffled as I cannot find a way to access files on PC no matter what I have tried. It appears one would have to purchase a Network (wireless) card to be able to see shared docs.
Does anyone know of anything that may gain me access to files without getting a wireless card
Thanks very much

Thanks very much for the link. I did have a little look aroundbefore I posted and I did find options for a bluetooth connection.
I was really after a way to do this through active sync without any netowrking sotware or drivers. When I am at work I use a USB cable to sync and I wouldnt mind being able to access files on my main PC.(movies for beta player)
Thanks again for your reply.
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.

Hey guys, I have a question to ask.
Is there any apps that allow us to browse music / video or any other files from pc and copy or sync them through wifi? For example:
I'm staying downstairs and my pc is upstairs, so kind of lazy to go upstairs to sync my music. So I just use the app, connect wifi and browse the files on my pc from my phone and copy them to my phone.
Any recommendations appreciated. Thanx!
Homepipe might do this for you.
I tried Homepipe, it's a cool software, but it's not exactly what i want. From what i understand, this software is using cloud method. Means that if i want to copy something from my pc to my phone, it will get the file from my pc, go through their server and download to my phone. That'll take a lot of time. I tried to download a song from my pc, and it took ages to finished. And if i use this software, i will reveal my drive widely to the net. It's not something that i would like. What i really need is an app that connects to my pc through the same network only.
