I have a lot of favorites in Firefox which I was trying to transfer to htc hd2, so far no luck.
First I export favorites to html, then import html to Internet explorer, move all favorites inside the "Favorite" folder which is the one that phone uses. After I sync the phone with pc I do get some favorites, but many that have been inside folders are dissapearing. After more syns, even more favorites are dissapearing.
Does anyone know a reliable way to transfer favorites to phone?
So far I got two ideas, either add all favorites manually one by one and disable syncing or simply copy the bookmarks.html file over to phone and then use favorites through it.
Maybe someone figured out how to sync properly, though?
Your favourites need to be in the Mobile Favourites folder in IE.
I have the same problem with Mobile Favorites, sometimes they are deleted on the device after sync.

Yes I do know that.
The problem is if you place favorites in mobile favorites and you have sub folders in that folder then after you sync only some favorites from sub folders get synced, and with each sync more and more are getting deleted.
Example
Mobile favorites
link1
link2
link3
link4
link5
folder1
link6
link7
folder2
link8
folder3
link9
After syncing links 1-5 are synced normally, folders are synced as well, but links that are in folders 1,2 and 3 are not synced, or dissapearing after consequent syncs.
I understand your problem now that you've explained it.

How can you view notes from desktop pc when universal is connected through sync. and how can I make new notes to default saved in a specific folder in the SD Card.
Thanks
if you want your notes to sync, you cant put them on the SD card, mutually exclusive. so far as I know, nothing on the sd card will sync to pc, only by direct manual copy.
i dont know of a way to have notes go to a specific folder.
thanks,
I need to view the notes directly so when I am organising them I dont have to open them on my XDA and move with the pc.
you can see and make new ones in Outlook
just make sure you choose notes to sync with activesync
Notes Sync from your devices My Documents folder, and all sub folders within, having them syncing in outlook makes them appear like :
business\note about notes
but on the phone you just have to goto the business folder within my documents,
outlook even opens the hand written ones fine aswell
thanks
Hi,
my Outlook contains several hundred Contacts and i don't want to synchronise them all with my HD.
Is there any way to synchronise only some of them?
I already opened a new folder in "My Contacts" naming it "Contacts HD" but ActiveSync always wants to synchronise all of my Contacts instead of only the ones in that folder.
Any help???
Thanks, Oliver
Outlook will only sync the contacts folder.
Create another Contacts folder and drag all the contacts you don't need to sync into that.
You used to be able to sync categories - but Microsoft removed that useful feature - thanks Microsoft.
I had same concerns but the HD handles hundreds of contacrs effortlessly. Have you tried it?
I know, but not everyone wants to keep all the contacts on there!
I've been having a couple problems these past few days that are specifically with windows mobile:
1. Why are there 3 Music/My Music folders and why does each media player look for music in a different folder. Is there a way to reroute where the media players look for music so I can delete all but one of these. It's really annoying to have "some" songs in 1 folder but "others" in a different one.
2. Why does Activesync when synced with my Outlook mailbox copy over my e-mails but not the settings for my e-mail. I've tried setting it up on my phone manually but keep getting an error.
3. Why do "Files" when synced through Activesync immidiately get stored on the root of the Phone or the Memory stick. Would it be much easier to save "My Documents" in "My Documents" on the phone? Any way to reroute where Activesync stores files?
4. Why do all the tabs with Web Feeds on them not share a common Web Feed list. It's a pain to have to set each one up.
And I think I'm done ranting for now. Has anyone else been annoyed by these problems, or found a solution for any of them?
Why is it when i synchronize my outlook emails with my xi, only the emails in the inbox are syncd. i have many sub folders that also need to be copied
EDIT: Ignore that. find out how it works.
Hi all,
I've tried a search for a solution, but couldn't find it immediately:
I've a lot of contacts divided over subfolders in my Outlook. Apparently activesync does not work with subfolders: huh!?
Is there a new version I can download?
I really need the different maps, I can't work with categories
Regards
Koen
I don't think this is possible. I had the same problem as you.
What I did is to organize my contacts "by category" so instead of using sub folders assigning each contact to a specific category in Outlook. You can then view them in Outlook "by category" and filter in Windows Mobile by category.
I agree that this is a serious problem. With some of my contacts I've gone into Outlook (that I sync with) and placed a zz_ at the front of the "File As:" entry.
Then at least all of these contacts will be at the bottom of my list.
The other thing I've done is created an excel spread sheet (or even an html file) with a list of contacts that I don't want on my main list and copied that file to my phone. Sometimes I open that to find names and then copy and paste it into my phonebook.
Welcome to Activesync! This goes right back to the first Pocket PCs, Microsoft have shown no iterest in adding this functionality.
The only way you can do this is by using different sync software, which maps folders in outlook to categories on your phone. Works well for me.

Hi All
Yes I know this answer is a little late... But it might help others
If you want to Sync MS Outlook's Contact Sub Folders you need - Chapura PocketMirror Professional
I've used it for many years and excellent bit of kit (only used with office 2003)
Just checked online and they have gone 'bust' but I still have the software & in daily use - PM me if req'd
Android missed a way to sync the Internet Explorer Bookmarks (Favorites).
I know there are ways to sync that using Chrome etc..
But I have a simple idea...
If any developer can link a url file into Android's default browser... like Operaurl.cab does for Windows Mobile...
Than anyone can sync the favorites folder (C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Favorites to the sd card (using for Autosync for example), create a folder shortcut and open the links from there.
In windows mobile I used to sync my PC favorites folder to the WM favorites folder and used to have Operaurl to fix the links for me. It worked like a charm.
