Has anyone ever seen this before?
I cannot copy files from the MDA to the PC. I'm using activesync 4.1 (tried 4.2 as well). This just started happening.
Activesync looks like it is copying, but the files don't appear on the PC where they should.
I can copy TO to MDA without a problem...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Actually, I fixed this.
I did a windows repair and reinstalled everything on my PC.
It was never a problem on my laptop.
Still don't understand though...

Hi
I'm trying to shift files backwards and forwards between my pc and my exec, by copying and pasting within explorer windows. I've doen this for years with my ipaqs. I can successfully copy from the pc to the exec, but when doing it the other way, everything appears to be happening normally, but when the transfer finished, the file isn't on the PC! What can I be doing wrong?
P.S Activesync 4.1 is a pile of crap. It's decided not to bother transferring half of my outlook contacts, I think because they have notes.
Also, on a kind of related topic, has anyone noticed that on the box the XDA exec comes in, it states that Windows NT4 is one of the supported operating systems? Not sure how this can be, as you can't install AS4 onto it.
Cheers
Quick update
I did a search by filename of one the documents that I copied from the Exec to my PC and found it buried in a temp file within the documents and settings folder! :shock:
Why is it not putting the files where I ask them to go?
i have a cingular 8125 and when i connect with activesync 4.1, i do not see the windows directory on my pc or on my device. i was wondering what could be wrong. any help is appreciated, thanks.
hey guys, i figured out how to view the windows directory in my phone, but i still cant access it through the pc. any ideas?
A friend had the same problem, but i can't remember what he did, a hard-reset or upgrade to the 2.18 Qtek rom (was released then). I will ask him monday.
thanks. i kind of have an idea though. the phone is brand new, i installed the software that it came with and it works fine on my main computer. i am now also using it on another computer, but this time with no software, only active sync. it reads everything fine just except the windows directory when viewing through the pc.
also, anyone know why when i uninstall an application, it still shows up in my programs list, but when i click on it, it says error? i was told got to do something in the windows directory to get rid of it, that is why i am asking about the windows thing. aite thanks for any help
Hi all,
Having a spot of trouble trying to install anything onto my MDA Vario, I generally search for WM5 software/games and everytime I try to install I get this message.
XXXXX is not a valid pocket PC application
Any clues?
Thanks
Sounds like your installing an exe that needs to be installed via pc using activesync. You can download activesync from the M$ website. The latest version is 4.2 as far as i know.
If you are downloading exe files, try opening them on the pc first. Most of the exe files are installation files that need to be executed from the computer. Some, very few, are actually compiled executables that only have to be copied to the PPC and run from there.
You will also come across CAB files. These files are my preference because you just copy them to the PPC and execute it there, and it installs the files right on the PPC.
Had a problem running activesync, it used to loop my pc when I attached the device. Since then I reinstalled XP Pro OS and reinstalled activesync (probably old version conflicting)
It now works a treat and loads up all my software!
Many thanks
Hello,
I have QTEK S100 (with 1.13 OS if does metter). On desktop Computer I have installed WinXP SP2 and ActiveSync 4.2.
Now I have such a problem: When I explore my PPC thru ActiveSync I can move/copy/delete files on PPC, i can add files from Desktop to PPC, but I can't "donwload"(copy from PPC to desktop).
Before I was able to copy from PPC to Desktop, but I don't know exactly before which "modification" it was.
I tryed diferent versions of ActiveSync on my computer and nothing happens, the problem still persist.
I tryed PPC on another computer with ActiveSync 3.8 and it seems to work proprely.
So.. the problem must be somewhere in my Desktop Computer.
Who had the same problem? Please help me.
(Also Hard Reset of PPC didn't help)
Thank you in Advace.

First of all i really want to thank all the Helmi_c and all the developers; My BA is most updated running wm6.
Well much better than wm5 but I have some issues:
1. cant sync it with my PC in anyways (BT, usb etc), USB drivers are not working correctly.
2. sometimes when i pick or dial a call, i cant hear nething.
and last but not relevant to this, guys how do i stop my BA slider from falling down when I use keyboard.
1. Try delete the actual partnership in AS, sync again; if not reinstall AS on PC
2. No problem here with the sound.
same problem here
I upgraded my XDA2s, customized it,backedup, then upgraded my brothers XDA2s and used my customized backup on his XDA2s.
Now my XDA connects fine, but his doesn't !!!
Both our XDa2s's are identical in everyway.
tried a hard reset and restore from another backup and still no luck!
we were trying to save time re-installing the same softwares.
tried deleting partnerships, no luck. tried spb backup and clone, no luck.
any ideas!
Do you get any error messages on AS? Can you browse the internet from device?
usb drivers
can anybody post usb drivers i think this is the problem cause my device isnt installed properly it says problem with inf file.
whoever is able to connect his device to xp desktop via active sync usb connection, please copy the drivers folder contents from program files in active sync folder.
thanks, hope this works
Is your windows firewall enabled? Since WM6 activesync makes use of a LAN connection to sync with the PC, you must allow activesync trough the windows XP firewall, or disable the windows XP firewall completely...
no sound problems with me...
did you try to install WM6_SoundFix_.cab ?
