I have just installed windows Vista beta2, but activesync 4.1 does not work with it?
any thoughts?
Vista has a built-in sync center, which is used, among other things, to sync with a Windows Mobile device. Once you plug in your phone, Vista will recognize it and the sync center will prompt you to set up a profile. Really easy to use actually.

Yeah after a Windows update the sync center will actually sync your PIM data... but not before.
OK to clear some things up
As you all know vista is in beta stage so not everything is working properly.
When you install it, it can only sync media files (pictures, videos and music)
After updating from windowsupdate you have a new version of Windows Mobile Device Center which will allow you to sync everything else. since i am in the beta testing of Vista i have found some bugs that it does not sync contacts with Office 2007 even after proper setting. It may work for someone but here it doesn't.
We will get better syncronization in the Release Candidate of Windows Vista
You can try it if you are curious how it looks, and trust me it looks great
I have a brand new Vista PC with Outlook, but no contacts. I also have HTC HD with a bunch of contacts on it. I am trying to synchronize those two in such a way that HTC contacts are imported onto PC. It seems it only works one way - PC to HTC. At least Vista is telling me contacts are successfully synched, but I see nothing in outlook. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Hmmm....I came acrosss this option somewhere...have a look in ActiveSync (when your device is connected, otherwise everything will be greyed out), tools->options. See if you can't find 'synchronise' instead of 'overwrite' (or something similar) in a drop down box somewhere.
Or try rightclicking on 'contacts' in the lower part of the ActiveSync panel.
Activsync doesn't work with Vista. Download Windows Mobile Device Center from here....http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx

That is what I am using.
Have you tried clicking on 'more' in mobile device center and going to 'manage a partnership'?
do you have outlook installed??
i had to install it to pass the contacts from nokia to blackstone
pc sync works on vista. it actualy comes with it so no instalation is required

There is an optional setting for this. When syncing either you replace on the desktop, or on the device. I think you have to change from PC>>DEVICE to DEVICE>>PC.
How to change that option??
I have all my contacts on my phone and i want to move them to the computer. Im afraid if i connect the phone to the computer it will synchronize with the empty outlook and delete all my contacts from the phone. How do i move the contacts? I cant do it via Bluetooth.

hi Cooney,
you can try using iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite.
It allows you to backup both contacts and SMS from windows mobile to computer - Backup contacts and SMS into Text file format(.txt file).
I would backup your contacts in a .txt file via your HD and then transfer that file over to your PC, when you connect your phone via USB, make sure you select the Disk Drive radio button to avoid having ActiveSync immediately synchronise with Outlook. Then access your Removable Disk from My Computer and transfer the file over to your PC from there.
Hope this works.
Best Regards.

When you first establish an Activesync connection to your pc, it asks if you want to merge phone and pc, replace phone details with pc or pc details with phone. Choose either the first or last option (first is better for future sync's)
The iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite sounds like a good idea but it costs too much. I discovered that i could change the settings before it synced my contacts, so now i have it connected to the computer but still no way of moving my contacts from the phone to the computer. Are there no free ways of doing this?
Activesync is free. Did you not read my post?

Yes. That's the annoying thing, iMobileTool Windows Mobile Backup Suite as you will have to eventually have to pay for the software. However, if it makes any difference, you can download it from the link provided above, and use it's Free-Trial offer - allowing you to only backup the first 20 contacts/SMS.
EDIT: you might want to try Turbo Contacts Backup. It's free but it's requirements state it is only compatible with Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5 , 6 , 6.1... try it out and hopefully it will work with 6.5.
.
Regards.

Hi again Cooney,
First off, you are not stupid. Things are only easy when you know how.
Try this:
In WMDC on your PC, go to Options -> Settings and choose the setting to merge items on the desktop.
Hope this helps you out dude,
Best Regards.

Okay, my fault. I am using you as a guide as I don't use Windows 7 or WMDC
What you will need to do is delete your WMDC partnership (both on PDA and PC) and next time you try to sync your device to the PC with the USB cable, you should be given an option to merge your items or opt to replace all items.

My HTC HD Mini has stopped syncing Outlook notes for unknown reasons!
I am running Windows 7 / Windows Mobile Device Center, and Outlook 2007.
Everything used to work fine, and then one day when I connected my phone, I get the following error:
Window Title: Windows Mobile Device Center
Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
If I go into the WMDC "change content sync settings' and remove Notes from the list, I don't get the error.
Everything else seems to sync fine, it's just notes that causes the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it, as I rely on my notes like I rely on my fingers, i.e. I use them ALL the time!
I've resorted to using a spare PC to sync my notes for now, but it's not ideal.
maybe you can delete partnership at all, then re-creeate new partnership ?
But.. make back-up to contacts and data first..
brgds.
Yeah, I tried that already, but thanks for trying to help anyway.
I'm about to wipe the device, and then install the three updates from the HTC website. But I have a feeling it wont fix the issue....
I just installed Windows Phone 7 on my HD2
I rang microsoft for a activation code, and got one,
Everything works, ut i cant use xbox live to download apps - they have to be manually installed.
But my problem is i cant get my contacts on it.
they are backed up in mobile device center from the last sync with WM6.5 and it cant find a windows phone 7 Driver..
How can i sync and get my contacts???
If you have them backed up on Outlook or Google email then go to your email on the phone and sync... Restart the device and you will see them their!
Can you Sync WP7 with Outlook?

Yes, you can. Except for Tasks.

Not directly, only if you have an Exchange account. Otherwise it's through Google or Outlook and Hotmail connector.
I believe schapps is working on a 'WP7 Device Centre' which will mimic many of the old style Device Centre functionality. Not sure even then that it will allow direct sync with Outlook though.
Everything works fine except when I try to sync my phone with Zune it disconnects the internet. Anyone?
Are you running as admin on the machine?

Are you running on a restricted account or you are running as admin?
Also things worth rechecking....
Did you run XBMODD? and you copied the file into the Windows root ? Thereafter did you run connection setup ?
Make sure that this is being identified as a T9292 in the about section of your mobile...
Then go to Zune ... with your phone disconnected.. opt to "Forget the Phone " and reconnect your HD2 ... here you should be asked to name your phone ... click next ... finish ....
One last thing to recheck is to make sure that the regional settings of your machine and the regional settings on your HD2 (WP7) and your Windows Live account (for which you used to activate) are all the same. Also make sure that the time / date on the machine is synchronized. I ran into issues when I had some of the above wrong...
Hope this helps.
Regards
