syncing with a new PC?

Only had my Vario about a week and still learning it, I have connected the wifi fine and connected to my old pc, it synced fine but just got a new PC and what to use this to sync with from now on, it came up that there was a problem syncing as there was already a outlook profile, how do I remove the old PC data and attach it to the new one?
Also is it possible to connect to the PC using wifi rather than theusb cable??
Paul

The outlook date is stored in outlook.pst in C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Local settings\Application data\Microsoft\Outlook\
Copy outlook.pst from your old to your new PC, it should work! I recommence you a tool called pfbackup (from MS), it makes automaticly a backup copy of this file.

Thanks for the reply, I've managed to delete the old computer in the connection manager and then synced with the new PC, this is my first internet post on the Vario hope it works lol

syncing files without Active Sync. Possible?

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

sync device through wifi on windows vista

hi, ill keep it simple, is there a way to sync my device to my pc through wifi, for faster file transfer.
i heard it can be done on old active sync on xp, but id like to do it over wifi if possible.
cheers

Hi,
since actrivesync 4 there is no possibility any more to sync via WIFI.
HOWEVER you don't need activesync to transfer files. I use total commander to address the lan drive and just copy.

WM6 Sync when wireless connected?

Does anyone have any programs (or a way to setup WM6) to do a sync when wireless is connected.
I am in an environment where i am connected via wireless for half my day.
I would like to be able to sync with my exchange server over wireless when it is connected and not sync when its not connected.
I am wanting it to sync automatically every time it connects (or every X minutes while it is connected) via WLAN
I am running a Dopod 838 pro with WM6pro and syncing with exchange 2003.
Any help appreciated.

This might not be the exact answer for you... But check rk-OSR(Check my signature) for the utility to check emails using wifi.

Great App
Wow, thats a great app...
I will be using this unless anyone come up with a better solution.
Thanks for the prog tytnguy.
One suggestion for future versions,
Add a sync every X mins/hours option.
Also is there any way of having it sync without showing the window (like sync in the background)? Not that it is a problem, just would be a little tidier.
Once again, great work and thanks.

You could also use a tool like emoze (www.emoze.com). I can use it to sync my mail, contacts, appointments, etc....

Thanks for the suggestion emay but I already have Exchange server 2003 running, so all my emails and contacts are syncing correctly.
Its just getting it to do it automaticly over WLAN while its connected to save me data charges.

You may need to check your root certificates on your device and check with your admin about who you get your certificates though for the exchange server. They will have one if they have the exchange web mail log in enabled.
If you can get the certificate file to your device (tip: if it's a .crt file rename it a .cer so WM6 will read it). Then you can run it right off your device's file manager and it should install.
After that just make sure you're telling your device to sync via wifi.
Oh, and you can also configure peak times, this might save battery so your phone isn't constantly checking home wifi to sync. Also configure what to sync though the settings in your active sync menu, you should also be able to tell it only to connect wirelessly via wifi and not though your data plan.
I hope this all helps.

Creating and backing up contacts

I've serched the forum but I haven't found and answer to this specifc questions:
I want to add new contacts to my HD2. Is there a software that allows me to create those contacts in my PC and then transfer them to my phone?
Once I have the contacts, I'd like to back them up using MS My Phone, but I have a very low traffic limit on my mobile connection. Can I connect the phone to my pc and use the pc's internet connection to sync my contacts with MS My Phone? That way I wouldn't be charged internet traffic by my carrier.
Thanks
