Activesync Problem

Hi
Installed the Himalaya ROM successfully on my XDA II phone but my activesync refuses to sync my Contacts, Tasks, Calander and files. It recognises my divice and connects to but fails to sync the files.
can someone please help me here.
XP Sp2 installed win Outoolk 2003.

have you made outlook your default program as that does stop a sync from happening as i run 2 different email programs and that always catches me out

Activesync 4.1 Problems

Hi All,
I just got a MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) from T-mobile (UK) and installed Activesync 4.1 OK (well it caused my Windows XP machine to crash before I updated the Nforce2 Motherboard drivers!).
Now, I can install & remove programs OK.
But I can't get my emails and contacts etc from Windows Outlook 2003 (Office Pro 2003 SP2) to my Vario - even though activesync does a synchronisation??
Also contacts generated on the Vario don't end up on the PC outlook 2003 either??
Any ideas ? Before I have to manually enter all my contacts & addresses??
Cheers
John

for me active sync works first time out of the box.
you chould have a look at all the options and make sure they look sensible. Under options-->sync options. make sure contacts is ticked and settings look correct to you.
As your device is new, I believe you are entitled to free support from microsoft for 60 days and for tmobile for the life of your contract. I don't know about tmobile support but I have always found the microsoft technical helpline extremely good, and surprisingly few consumers use it!

Thanks for that - it must be something to do with mt desktop PC as I loaded Activesync 4.1 on my centrino laptop and got my contacts onto my MDA without any problems? Both are using the same Windows XP Corp so I don't think it's a windows issue and the only real difference between the laptop and the Desktop is that there is a ADSL/Router with Firewall connected to the Desktop, which may be upsetting the transfer of data from Outlook?
I did try a Bluetooth connection but that didn't work either??
Strange that I can load/unload programs, browse my PDA through Activesync but I cannot exchange data from Outlook 2003 to the PDA??

this could also be a problem with your outlook profiles. i.e. it could be that it is syncing, but with a new profile that does not include your old data. Have a look at the outlook options.
The extreme way to deal with it, is to export or backup all your outlook contacts and diary and other data. Uninstall outlook, rebnoot and make sure you delete the folder under program files. Then reinstall fresh. Setup to sync with PDA and then reimport all your old settings. Although this is a last resort.

Well do to a corruption of my root hard drive MBR I had to reformat and re-install windows (A nice long job!) - and would you believe it, that the newly installed activesync is now working properly - ie emails and contacts are synchronised on both the Desktop PC and my Vario???
Oh well I'll know next time !

Task reminder time not syncing when set in MS Outlook 2003

I've just started to use Outlook 2003 (more regularly) to create tasks; I almost always set a reminder to go with it.
The problem is that a reminder set in Outlook is not getting sync'd with the PDA- looking at the PDA just shows the task as if a reminder was not set.
It works the other way round, i.e. setting a task/reminder on PDA would sync correctly with the PC.
N.B. The time for both devices is in sync; running Pocket Informant on the PDA. ActiveSync version 3.8.
In PI, The option: "Task Alarm Monitor Active on Sync" is set to YES
I can't remember, but I don't think this was an issue with Outlook XP.
Is this a known issue? Any resolution?
Thanks.

Try upgrading ActiveSync to version 4.5!

activesync & calendar problem

Hi, I'm having difficulties using my calendar at the moment. The calendar I'm using is Outlook 2003. I can sync my calendar if I put an appointment from my computer, but not if I add the appt from my mda vario. not sure whats happened it was working fine, any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks

You may need to look at your activesync settings, look in tools, options. Also you could try deleting the mobile device profile and then re-connect the phone and let it rebuild.

My Wizard and compute was sny.But when I install some software,It is sey not find Windows CE.Or sey not sny.

How to copy a single reminder from MS outlook to my Palm Treo?

Hello everybody,
After i used my Activesync to synchronize from phone device to desktop, i lost my reminders from my phone but i can still find them on my desktop microsoft outlook under calendar, is it possible to copy a single reminder back to my phone and how?
Thank you very much for our help.

Have you configured the activesync to use Outlook?
What outlook are you working with?
Once you configure activesync or the Windows Mobile Device Center to work with Outlook, you go to Outlook, you can make a reminder under "tasks" or "calendar" you only have to set an alarm(date and time) for that event.
very simple.
Sorry for the grammar.

Also if you use a reminder daily, weekly or so, you can configure that, but you must set the periodicity of the event.

I am using Microsoft outlook to synchronize with my mobile, but i need to copy one of those reminders that i have on MS Outlook back to my phone calendar how to do that ?
Thank you for your answer.

i would suggest sending via bluetooth, that way you can select an appointment and then click file, send via bluetooth. otherwise, i am not sure... good luck
