Sync'ing with 2 Desktop Computers

I currently sync with 2 Desktop Computers. One Computer (Work PC) provides me with Calender, Contacts, Notes and AvantGo. The other (Home PC) allows me to Sync Microsoft Money Data.
Today I tried synching my Inbox as well on my Work computer. It told me I couldn't do it because I had two desktop partnerships. Is there any way I can move forward on this, or am I completely stuffed.
Thanks

How to synchronize PDA with two PCs ??

Hello
Sorry if this is obvious for some people or can be found already at the forum, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
I would like to synchronize my PDA (HTC TyTN) with two PCs, one in my home and second in my office. Is that possible at all?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It is, except for Outlook mail.

Do you mean that I could synchronize everything (f.e. contacts, calendar) with two PCs except for e-mails?? That's what I want to do. Mostly those two things above. How I can do that? When I'm connecting my PDA to 2nd computer i can choose what I want to synchronize, but f.e. contacts, calendar are greyed out! So is there a solution?

i sync with my work and home computer no problems

ok so maybe you could tell me something more about it? how can I do that? Like I said when I'm connecting to 2nd PC some items are greyed out.

yeah i sync with my Work laptop and Home pc fine, one has to be the better of the 2 so i use my laptop as the main sync.
Home is just for favourites and passthru

OK so is that possible at all to organize contacts and calendar at work and in home as well? Both are desktop PCs so it would be hard for me to carry one of them around

Can't use ActiveSync at work

HI
My work has ban ActiveSync, but I should get around it by using a different program.
I need a different sync program to use at work for my Outlook pleasee.
What the best one out there
Thanks

Banned where I work too.
My employer has standardised on Blackberry when they are paying. If you get your own device you can't plug it in.

Do you have an exchange server? If so, check out www.emoze.com
Super easy set up, free and it works well. I have not had any problems other than not being able to sync tasks.

Thanks I will give that a try

Unfortunately, most of the 'other programs' for desktop sync that I've tried require activesync to be installed first. Intellisync and GW PDA Connect both use the activesync connection to the phone as just a pipe to the phone, as neither of them can open a connection to the phone directly.

bidirectional sync

MS ActiveSync only syncs in one direction...from the phone to the computer or the other way. I need a bidirectional sync so that any entries I make on my phone when out of the office, or are made to my desktop calendar by my staff, are sync'ed.
As it is now, if I put something on the phone and I plug it in to the USB on the desktop, the appt. is blown out because the desktop calendar controls. I can make it the other way around but then my desktop appts. blow out.
There is a 3rd party app called Easy Sync and it does way more than just bidirectional sync but I am wondering whether (1) there is another method or (2) if anyone has experience with Easy Sync in this context.

active sync is syncing in 2 directions (if you make an entry on the device...it will be synced to desktop pc,and vice versa)
that what you mentioned (one way-ppc to pc or pc to ppc) reffers only when you have 2 same entries but with some modifications
eg. i have DLTempler entry on both my phone and pc...i edit DLTemple contact in the phone...eg change the number...if the pc to ppc is checked DLTempler entry will be reverted to entry on the pc...or if ppc to pc is checked entry on the pc will be updated

Make sure you check your settings because the general idea of the PPC is to have a computer away from home. So, "bidirectional syncing" is an automatic function, unless anything has been changed, or your using software that doens't sync properly.

found a setting on the phone side of AS that was a problem. Changed it. Have to test and see if the problem is solved.

Well, what was the setting? I'm having the exact same problem (phone entries will sync to desktop, but desktop entries won't sync to phone).

On my phone I opened AS, I clicked on Menu, then Options, then Settings,
Conflicts: replace item on device
event logging: none
Why that worked? I have no idea.

Hi there.
I've the same problem, my pc sync's with my HTC but not the inverse.

Just to add a note.
Itens on calendar are bidirectional sincronized!!!!

I have a AT&T Fuze that I use with MS Mobile Device Center as a bridge between Outlook on my MS Exchange Server at Work and Outlook 2007 on my Windows 7 laptop & desktop at home. The system works like a top. Lately the display seems a little small however. I've been looking at an HTC Thunderbolt (Android) with the HTC sync application and several after market sync applications. Windows Phone 7 is off the table because of a decision by Microsoft not to sync with it's own product, Outlook. Has anyone solved a similar problem with Android? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

transferring contacts from BB to WM

Hi I am selling my Fuze to my brother (whenever the TP2 comes out on Tmo) and want to know the best way to transfer his contacts from his Blackberry to the Fuze. I tried the search function in both this subforum and the entire site. (also I googled it) no clear answers there and nothing here. If any could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have Outlook, use Desktop Manager (Blackberry) to sync the Blackberry to Outlook using a usb cable. That will give you contacts, calendar and tasks. Then depending on the version of Windows he has XP or Vista you'll run Active Sync or Mobile Device Manager to sync Outlook with the Fuze.

$5-$10 at a phone store to transfer it if you don't know how to

great

Thanks. I just did not know enough about blackberries to know if they had something to sync with outlook. I take it I can download DM from the BB website?
