Hi There,
I am the proud new owner of a T Mobile Mda Vario II. So far I love it, I have gotten my email set up etc. The only problem I have is that I am a avid user of Microsoft Money 2005. Now on my PC I am running Windows Vista Home Basic edition. So when I try to install a program to my Vario which should allow me to keep track of my Microsoft Money accounts the installation tells me I have no Microsoft Money installed on my PC to Synch with. I am using the lastest release of Synch centre etc. So I don't know what the answer is. I was hoping some of you nice people on here might be able to help me out
how about some more info like what app you are trying to install what version of WMDC are you running the more info the better
It's microsoft money for the pocket pc. It ran perfectly when I had windows xp on my main pc with my other pocket pc. Since having windows home basic the program won't find the main program on the pc therefore I cannot synch my vario with the pc.
@quietgirl: WMDC = Windows Mobile Device Center. Try looking into that and re-read austinsnyc's response.

Checkout the MS uk money newsgroup....

Many people have reported issues with Money for PocketPC on WM5 devices. MS only support it on Wm2003 devices, but some users say they have it working fine on WM5. Hopefully someone in that newsgroup can help you.
Thanks for the advice. just thought I would post back what i've tried. none of the ppc programs will synch properly so I tried a trial version of sbf finance I think its called. after synching it quadrupled every entry in my money program on the pc. I have opted not to bother now. but just wanted to say thanks for the advice.

ok, just upgraded to a xda mini s and have also purchased an intel mac.
having absolute nightmares trying to get the two to sync. i've tried pocketmac and missing sync.nothing works. I love the phone but if I can't sync, then it's useless to me. I cant even copy my contacts etc from my old xda because the mini doesn't have xbackup and takes mini Sd card.
Help! wot can i do?
Have you tried the alpha version of missing sync?(2.5.10a) - it works, but I'm having problems with my calendar - it wants to modify things when I syncronise which I haven't changed. back up all your data first - address book & ical. I have no experience of entourage as I don't use it.
failing that, as you have an intel mac, install boot camp & windows xp sp2 and then you can sync all. works well & windows runs very fast on my 20" iMac. I prefer OSX though!

You would if it were a PowerPC powered mac, but virtual PC don't work on an intel mac.
I have some hardware & programs that don't work on a mac, that work on my iMac booted up under windows xp.
And yes, I can do it!!!! (so I have!)
keep this dialog rolling
let's keep this dialog going. it's great to see MAC talk on this forum. so far i've had NO luck sync'ing with my Powerbook G4. any one have luck doing any of the ROM upgrade?
i'm on T-Mobile in the states.

I'm using Missing Sync on G5 Quad with my Wizard. I'm also using USBSwitch, on the device, to sync via USB. Works very well when syncing with Entourage and iCal. It also mounts my PPC directly on the desktop for easy browsing. I used to be a PocketMac guy when I used my h6315, but Missing Sync is much better and it works with WM5.
Speaking of Macs. Has anyone seen an Apple-esque, brushed steel Today skin that works in BOTH portrait and landscape views. The one I have now does not work in landscape.
I'm using missing sync 2.5a10 and have issues with iCal. I have to input all new appointments in iCal, because if I let them sync with each other all sorts of amendments go on, even if I have not made any changes on my iMac or vario. Address book seems ok.
The other thing also is that to get the Vario & mac to talk I have to shut down missing sync, then open activity monitor, force quit all missing sync references, restart missing sync the connect using my vario. Then it will connect usinbg Bluetooth.
Where can I find USBswitch?
Just found USBswitch. works like a dream! soooo much faster than Bluetooth!
There's a thread going strong on this already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51236
Ok, what's this USB switch? where do i get it? how does it work?

do a search for USBswitch on this forum & you'll find it.
I found the USBswitch thread confusing. when i googled it, i ended up at this site for the handspring treo. is that the same software that would work with my mini S?
There is a thread called USBswitch in the wizard forum on this site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48251&highlight=usbswitch. scroll down to the bottom reply and download the USBswitch-ppc.zip. I couldn't do it on a mac, so I had to use a pc. - like many programs which come in zip form.
hi everyone,
just a quick question. i am going to format my PC and try installing Vista. I am home for the holidays and left my Activesync CD at school so i wont be able to get it for 3 weeks.
the question is:
is there a way i can retreive my cd key from the registry or anything so i can reinstall activesync on vista?
thanks everyone
If you are wanting to use vista, well you will not need it, as it comes with vista, it is a new one and you can not run the old ones with vista!

The key is application licence (wm5), activesync is a free download from ms for windows, the new release vista is built in.
I just tried to sync my MDA to Vista, and got the following error message:
Previous versions of ActiveSync cannot be installed on Windows Vista. The features previously found in ActiveSync are now available in Windows Device Center. Connect your Windows Mobile powered device to the PC to get the Windows Mobile Device Center from Windows Update.
So I went to Microsoft, entered the Windows Mobile Device Cenet as a search, it took me a new page all about Vista and ActiveSync. I downloaded the beta, it installed and work great! Very nice interface, all tools on one page. I'm a happy camper!
hi guys,
I use my own laptop on our works network. I have Activesync on the laptop and can sync my XDAIIs with the laptop no problem.
however, as all our email and calendar information is stored in "Public Folders" in Outlook (on our network somewhere I guess?) , I want to be able to sync my work diary and email across to my PDA, and back again - I only go into the office a couple of days a week, so it'd be great to effectively carry it around with me.
However - Can't do it!
I don't know a great deal about the information that might help you, but my laptop uses XP Pro SP2, and MS Office 2003, and work uses MS Exchange Server.
Sorry if this is a cr*p explanation, but if you think you can help, ask ANYTHING you want!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
i've found an ipaq h1915 and would like to use it on my vista.
but because it is still a windows mobile 2002 and vista needs atleast 2003, i can't use it.
can someone help me with this prob.
thx
Jerre
anyone an idee or a link to: how to change a windows mobile?
Change it in to what?
Just kidding. Didn't know Vistas device center does not support old PPCs. One more reason not to use this crappy OS.
Unfortunately as far as I know there is no update for that model.
You could check out HP site, but I doubt you will find anything. Your best bet is to download ActiveSync 3.8 (google it since MS no longer provides downloads) or even 4.5 (from MS site) and see if Vista lets you install and run it.
thx for the reply.
i also had the idee to download the active sync 4.5, but as usually doesn't work on vista because vista has a program of it's own for that.
called mobile device center, installed it... gues what doesn't work on windows mobile versions before 2003
I have just got myself the Touch HD. Seems a great phone, but I cant seem to get activesync to work on my Vista laptop. Has anyone done this and managed to get it to sync up with outlook 2003 contacts and calandar etc?
Many thanks
vista cant use activesync it require Mobile Device Center which is also free to dl
thanks you. Sorry but what is dl?

Download.
You should be looking for Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC). As explained Vista cannot use ActiveSync and therefore WMDC is its equivilent.
Download, install, connect phone, go through some basic guided steps et voila. Synced phone and satisfied customer
