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
For some bizarre reason my phone and pc are no longer syncing together via windows mobile device centre..
I get 'sync failed'
Any ideas please?

I've just installed HTC Sync on my vista machine (fully updated) and after the install when browsing other folders through explorer it caused explorer to continually crash and restart. Anyone else experienced this issue? I had no such issues with my XP machine which synched fine
I just installed this on Vista and it will not connect to my Hero. I dragged it off the SD card (in the hero) thus vista can see the hero, but htc sync says 'disconnected'.
Reboots, reinstalls.... def a no goer here.

If you suss out a sync solution to for i'll be a happy punter.
for getting it working on win 7 you need to install the android sdk and install the ADB driver from there.
If that doesn't work there is a magic one on the forum that works fine for 64 bit win7
To sync with a mac you can sync addressbook with a gmail account out of the box now or you can export a group vcard then upload that to gmail so that sorts the contacts and ical can sync with google calendar by using calaborator
http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/
Will try installing the ask and report back
fyi, HTC Sync for the Magic does not work with the Hero.
Is a new version available ?

I found that too
yep I've found that too, I run the magic sync vista 32 bit driver as admin, the phone asks me if I want to set it to sync mode, the cmd window on screen indicates that its found it, then nothing.
This is frustrating for me now, come on HTC!!

That doesn't work on Vista either. You can see the SD card but the sync prog is never found (ie that 2.0.4 one you have posted).

I think the easiest current solution is to sync with gmail/gcal Paul. It's what I am doing. Saying that, I am back using my Kaiser atm
I found co-pilot too buggy and I need gps
Because the HTC sync is'nt working I just transfered my callender and contacts straight to gmail, and thats working flawlessly.
There's still google sync from companionlink, wich syncs Your Desktop Outlook to Google Calendar and Contacts. 15-Day Trial is free, after that it costs once $29,99, but then, You have nearly exchange capabilities (well not exactly to be honest, cause it syncs in Intervalls of 15 mins and not in relatime). Great tool, works like a charm, i can only recommend. http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html
Any news about uppdated Htc Sync?
How to get HTC sync work
Hi all,
I managed on how to get HTC Sync work for windows 7 (64 bit). I should work the same way for vista if having troubles.
How to get sync working:
- Copy all driver files to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64
- Install HTC Sync with administrator rights (By coping the files from the previous step, the installation isn't giving an error message anymore).
- Wire up youre HTC Hero to the computer
- Install the drivers in windows for your HTC device.
1 Push start button
2 Click with right mouse button on `Computer`, Pop-up appears
3 ´Click on properties. Screen: "Control Panel\System and Security\System" appears.
4 Click on Device manager
5 Search for ADB at `Other devices`
6 Click right mouse button on ADB and update driver software.
Pop-up "Update Driver Software - ADB" appears. (Not really sure the name was `ADB` but it is something like that, can´t miss it.
7 Click Browse my computer for driver software
8 Browse to the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64
9 Click next
Driver is installed
- The sync symbol should appear beside the USB symbole in the screen of youre Hero. Click on it and it should connect. If the icon doesn´t appear, unplug the hero, shut down youre Hero By pressing and holding the `end` button. When the device started up again, wire it up again and the icon must appear.
This is how i managed to fix it. Hope i described everything completely
Good luck
Not a great solution if you are on a 32bit OS/CPU.
I'm having trouble trying to sync with my Vista PC.
The drivers seemed to install ok but now when I click on WMDC nothing happens, also when I try Sync Center my TD2 appears but it only gives me the option to sync with Windows Media Player.
I've tried all the different settings, USB, active sync etc but dont seem to be getting anywhere.
Anybody help?
Jeff
Problem sorted thanks.

Please tell... I had no problems syncing my TD2 with Vista, but after i installed Win7 it doesn't work.
I have a problem with getting music that I have synchronised from Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) to play on my TD2. I have the 6.5 Rom but the same problem existed with 6.1. I have tried this on two Windows 7 PCs with the same results.
I connect using Windows Mobile Device Centre and then select tracks in WMP to synchronise. They are converted and then sync fine and appear on my TD2 (internal memory or storage card) in what looks like the correct format, but although the Artist, Album Name and Track Name are recognised by Windows Explorer, the tracks appear in the various Media Player sort-by views (Album, Artist etc) as ‘Unknown Album’ and ‘Unknown Track’. When I try to play the tracks it comes up in either the basic Media Player or the HTC version but will not play and just says ‘Error’.
Oddly, if I just copy the track files from my Server directly to the TD2 Storage Card without converting them they play fine. However, as all of my music is stored on my Server as Lossless this direct transfer option is not practical because of the very large file sizes involved.
Also odd is that if I use an old Windows XP PC with Windows Media Player 11, everything syncs and plays as it should.
A Forum and Google search on this has not turned up anything, but I am hoping that one of you will have an idea as to what the problem and solution is.
Solved this for myself, but others might find the solution helpful.
If I use ActiveSync to connect to my PC the files sync but will not play. If I select the Disk Drive connection option they sync AND play fine. Presumably a problem/bug in Windows 7 ActiveSync (Mobile Device Center).
