Am i making a big mistake??? I bought the wizard for its technical capabilities but did not realize the problems i would have in the conversion process.
AAAAHG, I just cant seem to transfer all my data from my palm E2 to the wizard! I have the Palm E2 and a palm IIIx synced on the palm desktop and am trying to convert just the E2 to outlook so i can sync with the wizard (with the intention of selling my E2). I installed outook 2002 (palm desktop already installed) then installed the outlook conduits from the Palm installation cd then did a sync with outook.
Everything seemed to transfer ok to outlook but when i sync to the wizard my contacts and notes seemed to transfer over ok, but my calandar didnt. All i got was the last months appointments! And now when i resync my palm 3 (with a different username) the calendar is shifted 9 hours ahead! I think it set itself to pacific standard time and here in europe its GMT+1. My pc is from that time zone.
Along the way i accidentally erased my calendar on my E2!! AAARRG! What a pain this is. Going to try to resync my E2 with outlook to try to restore my E2 as i dont think i will give up my palm just yet.
Is there another safer way? I did an archive of the pst file from outlook in case everything is lost and will try to resync my wizard later, must restore my palm first as its the only thing i can trust.
Btw i think the standard calendar, notes, memo (does not exist on ppc) function on the ppc is way inferior to the palms. Esthetically and functionally speaking it SUCKS! Is there another program i can install that gives me the same look and funtion of the palms? What the heck is up with having to scroll between day, week, month, year views when on the palm you can just select the icon??????????????
I like the wizard and the funtionality but am having second thoughts.....................
I also did the move from Palm (m500) to the new Wizard (Qteck 9100). Love the new wizard, has some very nice functions on it, but I also miss some standard functionalities of the Palm OS. eg working with categories and remembering the last used category, altough I really love the possibility of WM 5.0 to link different cateogries to one object, which wasn't possible with my palm.
Anyway, to be able to transfer al my data, I first made sure all my Palm data was synchronized correctly with Outlook. I used PocketMirror (sync with outlook) combined with SwitchSync (sync with outlook and Palm Desktop). Try some different settings within PocketMirror to be able to sync different categories correctly (free version only sync's a limited number of categories). Once all this was done, I didn't use my palm anymore and synchronized all my data from within outlook to my pocket pc
Good luck!

Glad to hear that you were successful with the change. Well, i managed to recover all the info that i synched with outlook back to my palm and backed everthing up on the palm desktop, then reinstalled everthing to disassociate with outook. The palms seems to to be refunctionning properly now.
I cant however seem to sync everything i magaged to get to outlook on my wizard! Contacts, notes/memos, were pretty much in tact, but the calendar i only got the last 2 months info. When i resync choosing just the calendar i get an error message saying the profile is not the same. Funny when i was forced to choose the profile and was password protected.
I think i will have to reload outlook and do a hardreset and start over. Fortunately i also exported the outlook pst file. I hope it works. If you have any other ideas, i would appreciate it.
did you try the "delete device" in the ActiveSync application?
This already resolved many activesync problems for me...
ActiveSync will then forget all your specific connection settings and restart a proper sync. connection when you reconnect your wizard.
Thanks for the advice, in fact it worked and i can now see my calendar for all of 2005. Still unsure of how to back up or archive my info. I just did an archive and it deleted my calendar again!!!
I think i will go ahead and reinstall outlook 2002 then synch with the wizard. I think in that case i wont even need to import a backup or archive pst file.
Which version outlook are you using btw. Can i install another version such as 2003, my wizard is in french but i prefer to have outlook in english, i hope there isnt any compatibility problems!!
ciao
It works fine with Outlook 2003. I don't know for older versions then 2002.
The language won't be a problem. I use a dutch outlook without problems..

looks nice
thx!
Mogwai,
the original condition you reported with your Calendar on your new Wizard is the correct condition. MS assumes you are going to do most of your work on the desktop and will want the complete record there and not necessarily on your device. In order to save device RAM/Flash, ActiveSync only transfers the past 2 weeks of appointments (plus all future appointments). If it got to Outlook correctly, then you've got everything you should have.
If you must have more calendar data on your device, then you need to go to AS Options, click on Calendar, and then click the Settings button. You can have up to 6 months of your past appointments on your device with ActiveSync 4.x.
I hope this helps!

To be exact: you can choose that you would like to sync
all calendar appointments or
last two weeks or
last month or
last three months or
last six months - and all upcoming appointments of course.

ActiveSync and Outlook Notes (body missing)
hi,
In the same subject I am an ex-palm user switching to PPC, I have used the same way to get all my Palm memos into my Outlook (hotsync with Outlook as conduit) so the memos ar ein Outlook and readable without problems,
the problem is when I open them into my Wizard : they don't have any body (!)
Has anyone came accross this ?
I've downloaded last version of Lotus Easy Sync Pro (4.2.3), but it doesn't support WM5 and i seems to me, that IBM stopped development of further versions
Does anybody know alternative products, which can synchronize data between WM5 device and Lotus Notes, particularly phonebook and diary.
Try this http://www.ianywhere.com/products/xtndconnect_pc.html
I would encourage you to try mnotes at www.commontime.com. I've used it for a couple of years with great success.
I've used Intellisync to link my Wizard with Lotus Notes 5.

Intellisynch
Hello,
Do you know where I could find this intellisynch version plse ?
Thx.
Commontime mNotes works the best IMO.
I did try...
I did try, but for an unknown reason, the mnotes server does not start. I have the status : "mNotes Server: Error".
Would you have an idea ?
What is more, in the Communications Tab, the method is TCP/IP on the port 603. I cannot change it knowing the pocket pc (rw6828) is connected through active sync USB. I am lost. Thanks for your help.
I use Doublelook by Companionlink Software, it syncs the notes address book & calendar with MS Outlook. Changes made in either are reflected in the other, then outlook is synced with the MDA. Works well but only at your desk, it's not like a Blackberry where all this is wireless, in real time, that's a whole other kettle of fish.
I think commontime's mnotes is by far the best solution that I've worked with. Provided me with the fastest and most robust sync with lotus notes.
Lotus Easy Sync Pro 4.2.4 Beta support WM5.0 now
http://www.zenithcomp.co.th/application/discuss.nsf/85255e6f0052055e85255d7f005ed8bc/ea6e387bf63f7645472571c700345806/$FILE/Setup.rar
Thanks. I installed it and I am told when I start synchronizing that:
"Unable to connect to device. Verify that Activesync is running"
Useless to say that Activesync is running and that the device is seen as connected. Is there something more to do (on activesynch or easysyncpro) ?
Thx.
Can someone give me a link where I can download commontime plse, with a serial nbr ? I did from the commontime web site and it does not work. I am running Lotus Notes R5.0.12 and windows mobile 5 on my rw6828 ?
Thanks for your help?
While we're on the topic of Lotus Notes, does anyone know if it would cause harm or headaches to synchronise with notes at work (I don't know why we ever got rid of outlook! ) then, synchronise with Outlook at home?
I'd like to get my work appointments synchronised, and contacts (I have loads of friends email addresses at work but not at home).
Would be very handy - but I'm too scared it'll all go horribly wrong! :lol:
The only issue I had was making sure all the private items were tagged private. I didn't initially check for this and after the sync all my misc stuff was posted on my calendar for all to see, took some time deleting it all. But I do this now all the time & sync Notes & Outlook via Doublelook to my laptop at work and then to the home PC. No real problems other than our brain dead IS department won't let us acess the blackberry server to do it in real time but that's another kettle of fish.
Any help on my post plse ?
Would appreciate a link ;-)
Thanks !
Have anyof of you run into the problem where Outlook refuses to open because of this error " Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Unexpected error has occured. MAPI was unable to load the infoemation service nwnsp.dll Be sure the service is currently installed and configured."
I've tried most of the fixes that made sense that came up on google.
I use mnotes and it works perfect except for the email sysnc from Lotus. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm using windows xp on my pc with microsoft activsync 4.5; I've set up the partnership between the pc and Touch HD and it has synced the contacts OK, but it seems to get stuck trying to sync the calendar - using outlook 2003. I've tried both soft and hard resetting the Touch HD; I've uninstalled m'soft activesync, downloaded and installed a new copy, and still get the problem. The programme appears to be syncing but it's been stuck on calendar for ages without appearing to make progress. Any ideas please?
OK if TF3D not running.
Bemi
The very first time I sync'd, it did seem to take forever - I eventually just left it doing it's thing and went for a coffee.
When I got back, it had finished (so don't know how long it took in total), and subsequent syncs have been very quick
One thing I have noticed that seems to be missing (now that you mention) which was on my very old iPaq running PocketPC 2002!
I recall a setting in ActiveSync about ignoring calendar entries which have passed.
Don't recall seeing it this time round, so possibly you get to sync umpty ump thousand 'old' entries first time or something?
Thank you. I subsequently tried disabling TF3d and like you left it running. Came back several hours later and it had sync'ed. To be fair, I was asking it to sync a large number of entries.
I am new with a touch HD, I had a Himalaya and a prophet before, now a new HD since yesterday. I could sync with VIsa a couple of times, but when I saw that I had synced with 2, I removed both to start clean again, but now I can't sync any more, I always get a message that there is a problem with repllog.exe.
I tried everything. I reset the hard spl I reinstalled my original rom, nothing!! I still can't sync and I don't know any more what to do.
It is very strane that I can flash a new rom, but no sync!
I can sync on windows XP! But I hope to find a solution, coz I want to contue using Vista

I have a laptop with Vista and WM7, but sync only with WM7 and it worked until tonight. I changed to Vista and it started to sync with Vista, which I stopped because the outlook version was not up to date any more.
Later I discovered that I had 2 pc's to sync, and I removed both to start over clean and then it happened. I can't sync any more, I always get a message that there is a problem with repllog.exe.

Shameless Bump
Strange, not sure what the problem is. Only thing which comes to mind would be to upgrade vista drivers
Problem solved after flash
I flashed Dutty's V2.3 (after hard spl) and now without changing anything, my HD syncs again!
Same issue --- HELP!
I updated to Windows 7 (clean install on a Dell M1330), and started to get problems with HD freezing randomly when not connected, after I started syncing with Windows 7 - also losing all Contacts data - kept getting message that a change had been made on the server which required me to resync. When I did so, it lost all my Contacts data - this happened several times, so I thought it's time to tackle the issue. Attempted to resolve the problem by reinstalling WWE 1.56 (using USPL). Now I get the same repllog.exe issue, which prevents me from syncing at all. Using Office 2007 suite for Outlook etc. I'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this device now... deleted and reinstalled WMDC, uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled drivers, hard reset and eventually clean reinstalled the HD. No change. I'm sure it's something simple, like both devices trying to overwrite one another - but cannot find the answer yet.
...starting to solve it...
OK. After all this BS, maybe it's not so difficult.
I deleted the relationship (yet again!). Then set up a sync relationship, but with NO items selected. This time, the sync completed successfully and immediately.
(this empties and rebuilds the repllog file)
Next, I repeated the exercise with only contacts selected. Now it syncs Contacts OK.
So I suspect that the problem will be with the email files. Maybe I have to set up the accounts on the 'phone EXACTLY per the previous settings before I try to sync the email to them?
Anyway, I've got contacts data and a working sync relationship, so at least something achieved at last.
...and hey presto. It now syncs perfectly, with everything except Tasks (which I don't use). So I guess it has something to do with conflicting settings between the app on the PC and on the sync setting.
Hope this helps.
is it possible, how?
thnx
p.s. sorry if there is a thread, i tryed to search but didnt find anything..
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what your question is as your post title is not clear.
But, if you want to sync Lotus "Nuts" (I hate it but have it in the office) with the HD2 then Easy Sync Pro from IBM works quite well. It does do contacts (without photos) and calendar and tasks OK.
There is also a "Traveller " program for Lotus that claims to sync but I have not tried it.
XTNDConnect PC (6.5) works fine for me (with Lotus Notus 8)

Take XTND V7.xx it works.
Lotus Notes still exists?
I thought people used a real groupware server -- Exchange.
My work use Lotus Notes Traveller, its pretty good, the managers and directors can use it on there S740 Rose and Touch Diamond 2s.... So its gotta be easy to use, updates calendar on the phone also and notifies of meetings.
Thanks for the reply!
I uninstalled everything again and then it worked fine with xtnd connect v6.0.
Yesterday I got the 7.1 release, installed it and everything works fine now.
The only problem is that when i sync my emails the programm syncs them but into th outlook inbox. So I can´t reach them via the softkey and have to change the folder to outllok inbox everytime i want to have a llok at my emails.
Is there anything to adjust to view them on the email screen?
Thanks for your help!
