I have a UK XDA II and after re-installing Windows on my laptop, the XDA CD won't re-install the PC Suite again and I can't access my files on a pc.
I've saved the files (word documents) onto a memory card and tried to access them on my laptop via a card reader but word documents appear as files called 'password backup'
Is it possible to download the PC Suite program from anywhere online or is there anyway for the word documents to appear as word documents on the memory card?
by oc suite do you mean activesync ?
if so ms have it free for download on their site

How do I enable windows media player to transfer music to XDA 2 ?
When I click on copy to CD or device the XDA is not in the dropdown list, clicking on supported portable devices only takes me to a microsoft site where I cannot find the XDA.
hhhmmmm why not just copy it to the pocketpc folder in your my doc and sync the files to the xda ?
or use activesync to explore and copy the files to the xda ?
or if you use a sd card put it in your sdcard reader and copy the files to it like you would a disk ?
i never got mediaplayer to copy any music even to my mp3player back when i had an such
Hmmm thats wierd it works for me!!
As Rudegar say, copy your MP3 in a new Directory (must be created by you) via windows explorer.
After that, copy the directory in your PPC via ActiveSync and that's all.
At the beginning, I transfered my MP3 direct on my SD card with windows explorer but it doesn't work, ActiveSync modify the files automatickly.
Thanks for the replies guys.
how do i get 330 tracks from my pc to my jam by active sync directly on my sd card ???
There are two simple methods: On your PC, open File Explorer, select the files you want to move, copy them and go to Mobile Device, located under your harddisks. In Mobile Device, select Sorage Card, go to the folder where you want them and paste them there.
Another method: In Active Sync, click Explore and use the same procedure as above, slect the files on your HD, copy/ paste them to your Mobile Decive/Storage Card.
Be sure to shut down your Firewall or grant Internet Access to File Explorer and Active Sync, or it won't work.
hi,
this may seem silly but i cannot seem to back my SD card up (in case of any failure)
i'm not too sure if this is the case however, i cannot seem to copy my installed software directories which are installed on my SD??? (they all have a default ending of say...
BetaPlayer.
eWallet.
Pocket Controller.
buttonMax. <<-- notice the FULLSTOP?
all the other directories copy fine except for these folders.
is anybody having any issues copying ALL files from their SD card?
is there any software that can full backup the SD card to the computer?
ie. similar to SPRITE backup?? or can SPRITE even do this? how do you set it?
Hi
Strange...
Maybe the filesystem on card is screwed up.
Try creating directories (on PC) manually (with the same names) and then copy files from inside(s).
If you succeed this way, format the SD and copy all data back.
Good luck.
I had a similar problem some time back, with those '.'s appearing after some of the directories, and not being able to do much about them, except through a card reader connected to the PC (and sometimes not even then).
eventually i had to reformat the whole card to get it working again, using CNetX's Flash Format, which also has a utility to check and try to fix cards. you can check it out here. http://www.cnetx.com/format/
Google for a freeware product called MobSync. The website is mainly in Japanese but the product is in (pidgeon) English. MobSync can sync. any directory on the PC with any on the device, one way or both ways.
I have it set to sync my Storage and Storage Card to my PC on each connect. It doesn't handle files which are too large, has the odd spelling error and has some minor issues with AS4 but as a fall back mechanism it is excellent.
Note: it doesn't convert files when it copies them - again this is a minor issue and there is a shareware product there that seems to do this.
hi i'm not too sure what you mean when you say file conversion from PC to PDA or PDA to PC?
does this matter?

It can matter but it's not a major issue. For example if you pull a Pocket Word file over via ActiveSync it is converted on the way and becomes a Word/WordPad document at the PC end, this doesn't happen with MobSync.
If all you are looking to do is preseve the data from your Storage and Storage Card, it will serve the purpose just fine.
With my PDA2K WM2003SE I had to option to choose the destination (main memory, storage card, extended rom) from my desktop activesync when installing. Now with my JJ ActiveSync 4.1 insists on first copying the entire files into some temp dir on the MAIN memroy of my JJ and only then it pops up the question on on the ppc on where to install (int,ext,sd card). Thing is.. if I want to install a 20mb prg there is no way i have enough space free on my main memory for that temp files.. Anyway of forcing ActiveSync to ask 'Destination' question on desktop pc instead?
Thanks

is there any way to do this? as i can only access my documents via the sync cable.
if not i'll copy the files directly to the sd card
EDIT: found it - doh!

I see you found a way. I use the explore function within Active sync.
There's also Mobsync for WM5 that allows you to synchronise any folder on PC to Device or vice versa Freeware:
