I have searched numerous threads with none being useful.
Can anyone tell me how to sync with Vista home premium and MS office 2007?
I can see on the PC what is on the device (files on storage card etc) but I just can't manage to get it to syncronize with Outlook.
Any ideas or links would be greatly appreciated.

Don't own a Trinity, but this is pretty generic.
You need to install Windows Mobile Device Center. This replaced Activesync. That should do it!
Thanks, I have downloaded the link and will try tonight.
As I have just brought a new notebook with Vista Home premium already installed, the drivers should already be installed.
Sync is now working, thanks for the link

I've tried to open the WMDC for almost a week without any luck.
When I click on the WMDC icon from my start menu, WMDC logo pops up from the screen says "Please wait while Windows Mobile Device Center starts." for about good 15 seconds... and the poof. Nothing happens.
I uninstalled the WMDC and reinstalled it many many many times without any luck. I even deleted the device driver from driver manager... no luck.
What is going on? I has been working fine until last week?!? and I can't seem to pin pont what the heck is wrong with my computer...
BTW, I have a Titan (Verizon Wireless X6800) with DCD's 2.2.6 rom with the 3.27.00 radio rom... and of course Hard-SPL has been done. I suspect nothing really is wrong with the phone and am pretty sure that it has got to be the computer itself..
Can anyone chime in on this matter? I'd really appreciated all your help.
Can't anyone help me???
try opening sync center first. (control panel/network and internet/sync center), once open, plug in your device then open wmdc.
it might work
Have you tried rebooting the computer? Sounds like a "stuck" process.
make sure you actually have WMDC because Vista says it has it when you install it, but it actually doesn't...
uninstall WMDC and reinstall it. A few had this problem and thats how they fixed it. This is what i did:
1. Uninstall WMDC
2. soft reset phone and killed active sync
3. install WMDC
4. Plug in phone to computer...
I've done the uninstall/install like 10 times. Each time, I went to MS website and downloaded fresh copeis of the file.
Also, I've tried all the methods above...
Thanks for the input none-the-less.
Anyone else got an idea what's going on?
No one has this issue? So my only fix would be reinstalling the OS?

wait a minute? did u say vista? do you have User Access Control (UAC) turned OFF. and are you the ADMIN. pls reply to this before you attempt a format.
After you install WMDC, you should connect your Titan to the PC, to further initialize the WMDC setup. And thats where the UAC may interfere with the hidden setup. Jus see if its the root of all the probs, before you attempt formatting your OS.
Control Panel > User Accounts > UAC [turn off] PC will reboot.
Nope... this didn't do anything...
OMG... I'm getting so frustrated...
Do you know if I can move my MS Outlook 2007 contents to another computer that's running XP? I've tried to use the import/export funtion, but it won't move everything completely (i.e. pix and multiple phone # in one contact). Any idea what I can do about this?

I figured this out after struggling for roughly an hour trying to figure it out.
-disable UAC and any firewall (in my case windows firewall)
it works fine for me
There is an option in active sync on the device that needs to be disabled i can't remeber what it is.
In the usb to pc settings is the enable advanced function box checked ? If yes un check it.
Thank everyone for your input. I have tried every single options suggested above, but still no luck with it. Luckily, I have another computer so I just transferred all the contact and calendar info over and sync'd my phone there instead.
I have reported to MS about this problem, and I doubt they will respond to it, but might as well try. lol
Thanks again for all your inputs.

I'm not aware of a way to migrate backwards with Outlook. If you have Outlook 2007 on the other machine, you should be able to back-up and restore.
As far as hasta_la_VISTA goes, I can't stand it! I RARELY connect my phone to it, after going through exactly what you're going through. I was depending on the stinking computer, and it would just arbitrarily decide it had NEVER seen my phone before. Or, it would just not start the WMDC. I finally changed my email to IMAP, so that the messages stay on the server, and I don't have to sync with the laptop.
I've finally gotten to the point that I have two computers (and my phone). One is a desktop with XP, the other is a POS Vista laptop. Yesterday, it told me that I didn't have enough video memory available, so it was going to switch me to "Basic" video mode...which it did. Oddly, I've got 1GB of Video memory. So, I rebooted it. It's just another attempt at HostageWare by Microsofty.

Hey see if this works...because I was having the same problem and I found this option in the Connections setting...
goto >start > settings > connections
there you will see something that says USB to PC
in there, there is a check box that says - Enable advanced network functionality...
UNCHECK this box click OK and go back to ur home screen connect ur USB cable and see if it works...
if that doesn't do it, the Microsoft website says to remove the 6.1 update of WMDC and re-install version 6.0... hopes this helps...
I have Vista, several times now I have lost sync with my ppc, and the only way to fix it is to reboot my computer. Also, it gives a 'unknown USB device' error when I dock it.
Ideas?
Do you have the latest version of the Mobile Device Center? It's 6.1.6965 I believe.

I do have the latest.
I've had the same problem with XP and ActiveSync. Usually I would just unplug&replug the usb, but if there's a fix for this it would sure help a lot of headaches.
I am having this same problem right now. I have a lot of items in my calander and I can not lose them. Is there any why to back up the calander with my hotmail with out using the PC?

use ppcpimbackup http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm
That way you know your contacts and calendar stuff will be safe until you sort it out. Worst case, you will have double contacts. If this is the case, you can delete all the outlook calendar events, sync, and then restore.
I have the same problem as well. It sounds like this is something new htat is cropping up and so far is unresolved.
Here is a link over at PPCGeeks that discusses the problem.

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.
Hello all.
Apologies for asking what may well be an obvious question, I have trawled through a lot of pages but cant seem to find help at present. I am a newbie to winmob having been an Iphone chap for 18 months.
I have managed to get all my contacts off my iphone and now have them on my laptop in my windows address book. I cant get them on to my HD2 now! I am really struggling, I am trying the Microsoft My Phone programme and it is not working.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a basic step by step guide to solving my problem?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Golt, welcome to Windows Mobile!
What version of Windows have you got?
Do you have MS Outlook installed?
Hi there!
I'm using 6.5 I believe. I do have outlook but it is only the trial version. I have managed to get my contacts onto there but still cant get them on the phone!
Thanks.

You need ActiveSync to sync your phone to Windows...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx
Ok I am trying to use the Active sync with no luck at all.
I am getting support code: 0x80004005
Any help?

Is the phone in ActiveSync mode also? You should get a window on the phone open when you plug it into USB.
As far as I know the phone is in active sync mode. When I connect it to the laptop, a pop up box appears about instaling drivers etc. I a apparently missing mdismpx.sys file? I cant seem to get the active sync on my laptop to detect my actual handset?
Is this any help?

I have had a look at that link, cheers. Still no joy at all though. I have reset the phone back to factory settings and I am still baffled. I'm going to give up for now I'm afraid.
