Absurd that everything in my calender and email syncs up - but after owning this phone now for over a month I still have not managed to figure out how to move other data or install programs.
It must be really easy. I just don't have a manual for the phone. Is there a site with the user manual?
Sorry for this stupid question...
try doing a google search for xda manual pdf i'm sure it's out there in plenty
you install programs if they are pc install programs but running the exe file on the pc then it will install using activesync
you install programs in form of cab files by double clicking on them on your device
you run exe files made for pda's by clicking on the pda they dont need installs
you get data to the pda by
1 putting the files in my pocketpc documents or what ever it's called in your my doc dir
2 clicking on the explore device button in activesync or clicking on the pda icon in my computer
thank you for that explanation. it worked! I did find the user manual as a pdf file. It was helpfull - but this forum seems ahead of the curve.
One last question - have most people on this forum with the XDA II upgraded to the magneto OS?
i havent
it being beta i'm waiting to see how stable and compatible it wil be when buzz and people are don with it
sure it's a toy but it's also a tool and my current rom does work for my current needs
I am looking for a way to sync ical with my tasks and appointments on my phone. Ive found software online and whatnot, but nothing for 5.0. anyone know of anything? I would really appreciate it.
Missing Sync for Windows Mobile
I'm using Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my OS X MBP. It works great and you can install .cab applications with it as well. Unfortunately you still need a windows machine/install to install the .exe stuff but I've found most software vendors for PPC apps supply a .cab install option now as well.

cool ill track down a PC and try it out. THanks!
You won't need a PC to install Missing Sync, it's a Mac universal binary. What I was speaking of are applications for the PPC device that require you to run an executable on a host PC (windows) to then install the application on to your device. However I just found this on another forum and I think I'm going to give it a try.
File Juicer - one of the features is "Extract CAB files from Pocket PC self installing EXE files" once you have the .cab you can install the application via missing sync.

oh I think i found this once, but 40$ and no trial scared me...

^^^ just right click on the cab file. and select cabviaacticesync. then when you sync your mda it will install. you can delete any programs off your phone in the settings.
try that. that helps for people that cant figure it out. but all you would normaly do is move the cab file to you mda.
are you using windows vista or xp? if xp, download the latest version of active sync from Microsoft.com. If using vista get the windows mobile device center from the same place. Connect by following instructions, then explore the advice and drop the .cab file somewhere on it. Pick up your phone; open file explorer; and click on the file you put there. .cab files do everything themselves.
As far as backing everything up, i dont know the best way to do it. Just put stuff on your comp, thats what i do.
oh and next time, please try and search. Other people are going to yell at you
hi people

Here you go:

You can drag and drop CABs there, or ever better, associate .CAB files with it in Vista, so, all you need to do to install a CAB is a double click (while having ActiveSync on of course)
wow so fast reply.thank u so much..i hope it works on vista.

Doesn't work for me. Get access denied. And what's worse: you can't uninstall the damn thing.
Edit:
Found it, just remove the Send to entry and delete cabinst.exe from Windows folder.

Having recently upgraded to Windows 7, I bumped into this issue as well and googled my way to this thread, but found no solutions like you guys.
It seems that all would be well if I turned off User Account Control, which, however, I don't really want to.
Thus I did more searches and found the following article:
Selectively disable UAC for your trusted Vista applications
Although the steps described in the above article did not prevent a UAC prompt from popping up, my installation of WinCE CAB Installer works now.
Hey I just installed WoMo 6.5 on my Sprint TP2 and I'm having trouble reinstalling all my CABs. I double click on the CAB files and nothing happens. Anyone else have an issue with this?
Thnx
First, do a search because this is a common problem for newer folks. It has been answered a lot of times.
It isn't clear how you are trying to install your cabs. To install them you have to get them on the phone and install from there, not your computer.
A nice alternative is a program called CabViaActiveSync. It lets you right click on the cab from your computer and it installs via ActiveSync.
Good luck.
download via phone
If your download via your pocketpc instead of computer it will be easier.
