I'm not sure this will fix your problem, but it has worked for me on my jasjar and my wifes MDA Pro, but it is crude and tiresome. I have the same problem on my newly formatted PC but my wife syncs her MDA Pro with her laptop no problem. However Active sync always runs in the background on our Universals.
1: Uninstall Activesync on your PC and delete the Active sync folder in your programs folder, then re-boot PC.
2: Meanwhile on your MDA Pro, start up Activesync and go to menu/options and delete the relationship, so there is effectively nothing to sync with on the Pro. This should stop it from popping up all the time, but has the obvious drawback that you cannot keep synchronising your data, contacts and appointments etc.
3: Re-install Activesync on PC and connect your MDA to establish new partnership. You will now be able to sync and install software, but after this sync (if you have the same problem as me, you won't be able to again unless you repeat steps 1-3).
I know this is not a good solution, especially if you have to synchronise vital data with PC and Pro, but this is sufficient for now, for the purpose of installing new applications that have no .cab files that you can copy to SD card.
Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for your hint. it is exactly as you said!
after deleteing the profiles i can sync ALL information on my device.
at the next time i cant sync because no connection is possible ;-(
the question i have is:
is my device damaged or is the active sync software the problem?
how did you solve the problem at last ?

Hi Folks,
i have now another device with WM2005 (Wizard) and nearly the same problems with active Sync!
as nobody wrote to my thread i hope that everybody of you can sync his WM2005 device!?
Whats about access databases?
i use german version of active sync 4.0.0 Build 4343. is there any newer versions that work better than mine?

Use MDA Pro with Active Sync 4.1
I had the same problem with AS 4.0. With AS 4.1 I could finally sync the MDA Pro.

Not to discourage anyone, but I'm running AS 4.1 and I still have the exact same symptoms. I've already de-installed everything (including old drivers and purging old ActiveSync registry settings, removing old directories, etc) and re-installed, but synchronization is more of a hit-and-(mostly)-miss affair.
Thank god for Exchange ActiveSync and unlimited GPRS plans...

MDA pro problems with Active sync
Guys,
I can't get to connect my mda pro with active sync 4.0/4.1 and 3.8.
I have re-installed but that did not help.
It just cannot find the device.
Would appreciate any help in this matter.

8503001c Error
I have an O2 XDAII (with WM 2005) and I get this error message when I try using Activesync4.1 as well. The Activesync I am using is downloaded from MSFT. I have tried all the other suggestions in this forum but there are not fixes that can be had by following those suggestions. The one thing I can say is that it has to do with email in my situation. If I sync everything except for Email, then my activesync works... PLEASE HELP!

Geez! Freakin' Microsoft, seriously! I hope they read this forum.
I keep losing the ability to sync at some point. I don't know what's causing that. I now think that it happens when the phone locks up and you have to use the hardware reset button instead of a software button on your screen.
Considering how many people have this problem, you'd think M$ would do something about it.

The error code is 8503001c
I forgot to mention one important point. The error code is 8503001c. Buzz, help us! Isn't there some way to do a search through the binearies to find the explanation or reason for this error code ? That would probably give us a specific reasonj as to what the issue is, tand then we could rectify it -

Outlook 2007, Sync'ing Calendar & Tasks... no details...

Hey all,
I'm currently testing out the Beta 2 version of Microsoft Office Pro +, and apart from this issue I'm impressed so far...
When I create a calendar appointment, or task with Outlook, any details that I put in the notes section of the item used to (with Outlook 2003) transfer over to the PPC Calendar and Tasks to be able to view and edit.
But now it's blank. It copies the appointment, the times, whether it's busy/free etc, but refuses to display any of the details that I put in the notes.
Is there anything I can do about this, or is this a glitch with the new software and it's tough? I'm using a HTC Uni (T-Mobile MDA Pro), so posted it in the Universal Board, as don't know if it's a General issue with all devices or just this one.
Cheers!
Dave.

It's working for me. Sorry, that's all I can tell you.

Are you using Office 2007 with Windows XP or Windows Vista?
I'm on XP at the mo, but if you're using Vista I'll jump in the deep end and try that...
Cheers.

HI, I have the problem the other way around. I am using office 2007 beta with activesync 4.2. when I add notes to a calendar item on my universal, and then sync it with my desktop, I lose all my notes on both ppc and desktop.
This is very frustating as I am in the habit of typing meeting notes directly into calendar items on my universal.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using Office 2007 on Win XP. I had it running with AS 4.1 and now with 4.2. Both are no problem. I guess I just got lucky.

Has no-one any ideas how I can fix this

WM6, Vista, Office 2007 Sync Problem
Hello,
I've just upgraded my Universal (O2 Exec), to jwrightmcps' 2.02 Version
Windows Mobile 6.
While on my desktop I'm using WinXP +AS 4.5, and Office 2003 without a problem .
However, on my Laptop (ThinkPad T43), running Windows Vista Ultimate (+Windows Mobile Device Center - The equivalant of ActiveSync), and Office 2007, I'm having problem syncing the device.
I don't get any error on the laptop, but get an 0x8000FFFF error on the device.
None of my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes etc. is synced in either way.
any one got the same problem?
it is obvious that the combination is the problem, as I didn't experience any problem before upgrading to Vista. (WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5 + Office 2007 worked fine).
any ideas for solutions?

Have you updated your version of WMDC - there was an update a month or so ago. It's referred to in one of the threads on Uni Upgrading.

Bad bad bad!! I'm using final version of Vista, Final version Office 2007, Just downloaded WMDC last week and Dopod 900/universal Windows Mobile 6 Jwright.
if you open outlook 2007 and then write your contact and then in notes just write something.., after you finished synchronizing, the contact was successfully copied onto the Dopod 900, but the the note didn't get copied!
If you write the notes within the contacts under Dopod 900, and then synchronizing it, the note within contact would be copied back onto computer with no problem. so it's only the other way around the problem
Also I have a second problem: Whenever I leave my Dopod 900 synced connected with my laptop and when there is a phone call coming in then I proceed to unplug the usb to pick up the phone, This may result in some sort of data corruption in syncing status, I think. Because after that, when I try to re-synhronize the dopod 900 again, it would try to synchronize from ground 0, so it would delete every synchronized data such as contacts, tasks, calendar in my Dopod 900 and re-transfer from desktop computer into this device all over again.

Try to use AS4.5 as much as possible.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
I've found out it works better then 4.1 / 4.2
Other then that, I can't help you on the 2007 part

I wish I could do that. I don't think I can since I'm using Vista.

Is this real?
You can't use AS 4.5 with Vista and it doesn't sync correct with Office 2007 otherwise? If that's right that is a classic Microsoft snafu.
Works fine for me with Xp and office 2007 though, on AS 4.5.

Yes it's very real. AS 4.5 not working under Vista.
Anyhow, I bought HTC Athena today and the problem didn't happen with HTC Athena. So perhaps it's device specific.

Newbie Question regarding active sync

Hi guys, Ive just recieved my t mobile mda vario II, and pretty happy with it. I installed active sync 4.01 from the cd provided but on start up got the following message " outlooks requires outlook express 4.01 or greater ".
Not sure how to go forward really as i have outlook 2002 and outlook express 6 (which will open fine and is set as the default email client on my xp home machine).
I have searched the microsoft knowledge base, but the only advice is all realting to windows 98 and IE 5, but again I am running IE 7.
Final point really is in an attempt to fix this i have upgraded to active sync 4.5 but the error still exists.
Any help be well recieved guys thanks.

Welcome to the forum...
I think you need active sync 4.5 to be able to upgrade to some of the newer ROMS if you want to start doing that - so that upgrade was a good start.
Is everything else syncing or do you cancel the process when you see the message? Try uninstall/re-install Active sync, then when you connect your device again de-select email sync for the first couple of syncs - see if that sorts out the problem.

i think the problem is with my outlook somehow. I cannot run outlook now, but i have tried reinstalling it and active sync with no change. The problem i have is that i cannot find a standalone installer for outlook express so uninstalling and reinstalling that isnt really an option. Also, i didnt seem to get a new version of OE bundled with internet explorer 7 when i installed it...
any ideas?

Syncing contacts in Vista

Has anybody got any ideas?
My VISTA Windows Mobile Device Centre can see my blue angel, I can click on the file management and look round my device, but it will not sync with my Microsoft Office outlook files.
In the past it would just say it had synced, when it hadn't actually done anything. And now on a laptop it seems to be trying to synced for ever. But when I tell it to sync on the pocket PC it says "waiting for network".

Is there anybody having no problems using vista mobile device centre and windows pocket PC 6.1?

Help
i had the same problem today it was easily solved just by rehitting the sync button, do you connect over bluetooth, wifi or usb?

I am connecting using the USB stand.
I must have hit the sync button about 100 times.: (

This is very strange, because it has just partially synced. The story is this, because there is no contacts ON my telephone I had created a couple, and no matter how many times I have tried contacts haven't synced. Anyway this morning I was just creating a note for myself. I went into the windows mobile device centre/mobile device settings/change content sync settings, and de-selected everything, but then selected notes for the first time. Miraculously, not only did the notes from my telephone go on my laptop, all the notes on my laptop (in Microsoft Office outlook) went on to my telephone. I thought I had cracked it, selected contacts to see if that would sync, but no joy. this really is a mystery.

So I thought I will tell it to sync files, you know where it create a directory on your desktop, well that has also worked. All of the files on my pocket PC have been copied into a directory on my desktop. But sadly, still contacts etc. will not sync.

This may be a foolish question but do you have your phone contacts saved on to your sim card or have you converted them to your phone memory. Also have you tried creating a new contact using Microsoft Outlook and then syncing

No I don't have them on my sim, I have no contacts are my telephone, I'm trying to get them to sync with the contacts I have in Microsoft Office outlook.
I have tried creating new contacts, new tasks, in both the telephone and Microsoft Office outlook and then syncing, no joy.
Thanks very much for your kind effort.

I cannot imagine why the files and the notes would sync, and the contacts, calendar and the tasks won't, but here is some other information.
When I click on the activesync on my pocket PC it it says "waiting for network". When I go on the menu and click on status " result: the server could not be me. These can be caused by temporary network conditions." When I click on "view support code" I get "support code:0x80072eff".
Any other suggestions welcome, thanks for his help so far.

Just a thought, as a shortcut to this problem, is it possible to create a file from Microsoft Office outlook of my contacts, which I can import into contacts on my pocket PC?
If so;
What would the format of the files need to be?
Where would I need to place in my pocket PC?
How would I team put into contacts on my pocket PC?

Still got this same problem, the notes and the files will sync, for the other items such as contacts will not synchronise. Still getting this;

The server could not be reached. These can be caused by temporary network conditions.

I have noticed in the communication manager there "data connection" option is grey, and I am unable to select "on".
I am wondering is there some kind of security issue with Microsoft Office outlook 2007? It does seem very strange that it is synchronising the notes and other files, but not the rest of the stuff

Data Connection in the Comms Mnager is for your GPRS connection. and is greyed out if there is no live connection.

I've been suffering the same over here.

Looks like we have the same disease. I installed the new Manila 2.5 on my P3450, and it's a beauty.
But ever since, it just won't sync with my MS Outlook 2007.
Running Vista Ultimate SP1 with every possible update, and now it got worse, I reinstalled the WMDC again, and now, every time I plug my Elf to the PC the WMDC crashes.
The way I see it, must be a bug either on my Windows or the WMDC itself.
If I find out anything I'll post it as soon as I find out.

icontact?
I was having a similar problem which was being caused by a third party contact manager. (iContact Burt Edition 6.3.1) The upgrade to his new 6.4 solved it for me.
Hope it helps.

my solution for vista was Dashwire. Provided many more solutions as well.

Sync Issue

Hi there,
I am using a Blue Angel with WinMobile6, ROM 6.01.03.HBB and Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5.
The Software won't sync the outlook notes. I cannot check the box for notes in the setup neither on the device nor on the PC. Notes are in the list for sync options, but they are greyed out.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Thalon

I might be wrong, but look into this. If you don't have a valid license of MS Office installed on your PC or you don't have the WM CD that came with the phone, You might not be able to sync notes... and I believe you shouldn't be able to sync contacts either. Do a search on XDA for Sync problems. Good Luck

also you may try to contact the creator of the rom for issues

are you using outlook 2003 or 2007?

Im haveing Sync Issues

How can i Uninstall this program
by what name is it in the Remove me List ?
or
Is this my imagination ?
then what could be my Sync Issue
I have Att Fuze
I have Outlook 2007
Vista Ultimate 64

i don't know about taskfacade, but i do know about vista64 and outlook 2007, and i could maybe help you, if you had a blueangel, but with the fuze you are definetly in the wrong section here, plus the version of the windows mobile device center would be interesting and what exactly is your sync issue.
- does it not detect the device?
- does it detect but give a red X?
- does it not sync all the elements it is supposed to?
- does it not work with exchange?
- is it just slow?
and for all that it would be important to know the rom on your device. not just you posting it here, people who might be able to answer that also need to know the rom, and that would be my problem here. but if you run a build 21725 or 23001/23003, the sync issue is well known for all the devices and if that is important to you, keeping it connected and synced, you should maybe revert to a previous build, or just try again in the fuze section
