I've been synchronizing my i-mate with my laptop since neraly a year (calendar, files, notes etc.) without problems. Suddenly, since yesterday, everytime I try to sync, I get this message: "the following items have never been synchronized before..." and calendar and files are synchronized all over again instead of synchronizing only changed items!!!
Any clues about this strange behavior?
Thanks
Sadly, this does happen at times. Luckily not too often, but it does.
Have you restored a backup (Sprite Backup or similar, perhaps) recently? That almost definitely would have caused it.
Luckily, if you synchronise regularly, doing this "from-scratch" sync shouldn't mess anything up too badly.
Thanks for ur answer. I didn't restore anything, it happened all of a sudden. For the time being, i cancelled file synchronisation and it seems to alleviate the problem.
Thanks again anyway

I tried to install Microsoft's Outlook SMS add-in recently, which is meant to make desktop outlook work with text messages as well as emails, via your pocket pc. However, once installed it told me that I needed service pack 1 for windows XP which I dont have, so it wouldnt work. SO I uninstalled it...
It came off the computer fine but it left my Pocket Outlook in a mess and I cant sort it out. At first, my inboxes (for sms and email) were replaced with a new folder call 'IPM:root'. This folder contained all usual items such as inbox, outbox etc except they were all permanently empty. I got around this by restoring to a backup from the pervious day which was fine, but now the IPM:root folder has randomly reappeared!
The odd thing is that when I have new emails or texts, they show up on the today screen, but when I press them it takes me to an empty inbox.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, or I will have to do a hard reset, my last one was only about a week ago!!
i have the same problem .. and nobody has an solution for this ?? ;/
I found no solution.. I did a 'hard-reset' and didnt try to use that software again as it is very broken. This is annoying but necessary.
I posted request for solution weeks ago and never heard anything. Couple people also had same problem but only way to fix it hard reset.
I noticed the help in all my programs are also blank now. Which leads me to believe outlook and help uses some display program which got corrupted.
I had the same problem and the only way I found to fix it was to delete the exchange server from ActiveSync while connected to the PC and then I reconfigured it by unplugging and plugging the device from my machine.

I've been using I-mate Jamin for more than a year now with few problems in Syncing my Outlook (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes.. )
Recently, the device started slowing down considerably, and failed to sync with Outlook. I did a hard reset & started all over. after many trials & hard resets, the problem kept arising, and I discovered that the problem occurs when I sync the Calendar to the device.
So I decided to sync only the past 6 months of Appointments instead of the whole thing. Turns out this is not the problem. I narrowed down the Problem to Birthdays. When I sync the Birthdays, the problem happens, all other Calendar appointments are OK.
I tried deleting all Birthdays and recreating them one by one (by re-saving the contacts that contain Birthdays) thinking that I have some corrupt ones, but even that didn't solve the problem. The newly created Birthdays still slowed down the device & prevented Sync and i even had to Hard reset the device again..
I can't figure out the problem at all.. these birthdays were on my device for the whole year, I didn't change anything subtle (like new ROM or new Application).. the problem just happened out of the Blue and I can't seem to solve it... I even tried syncing the Birthdays one by one.. the problem seems random, and to prove it, I re-created the birtdays as I said above..
Can anyone help???
I've backed up my Trinity with Sprite Backup 5.1 before moving on to wm6 But sadly, the backup didn't work on wm6, and when I downgraded back to wm5, it still did not work.
On both wm5 and wm6, i chose to recover only Mail and Personal Databases, so I'm supposed to get my emails, smses, tasks, calendar and contacts back. However, none of my emails and smses appear after the restore and contacts crashes (closes silently) as soon as I run it and calendar says "An unexpected error has occured in this program." and Tasks hangs when I run it (It seems to be running but nothing appears on screen).
I've used Sprite Backup many times in the past and haven't had this problem. I'm desperate to get my stuff back!
And just to mention, I've tried re syncing my information with activesync, but mysteriously AS seems to have not updated my stuff since some time ago even though every sync was a success. Yeah, I know my phone was in a bad condition.
My wife fails to sync her 8525 with her laptop. The last time that she synced was 7/22/08. Now when she tries to sync she gets an error "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchoronize all item on your device. You may lose changes made since yor last successful synchronization". There is a support code : 0x8600050D.
Her laptop is vista so she is obviously using WMDC & obviously it can connect. What I don't understand is what server is being referred to? She doesn't use an exchange server or anything like that. Any suggestions would be helpfull. I backed up her device using sprite backup in case I need to hard reset her device. Is there anyway to import the contact from her device into outlook? This way I can delete the partnernship & start fresh?
i think it means that it will just re-sync all items, not just that changed. and by server i think it means the laptop. basically it is almost like starting fresh. i also believe the contacts are synced to outlook.
Thanks, so then basically all of the contacts in her phone that were added since the last sync will be lost. I have everything backed up. So, I may try deleting the partnership & start over. Then run sprite backup & try to restore only the pim. Hopefully that will work. WMDC is even worse than activesync!
To avoid deletions and duplicates, I would suggest a hard reset. I had this problem with WMDC once, and I think it was like a day after last sync. But, as long as you have EVERYTHING backed up, I would start from scratch with a brand new connection, because it may happen again with this connection.
I've seen this message several times when I come back from a trip with a different time zone on the phone than on the laptop. Change the phone / laptop to the correct time / date and try re-syncing again. Hope this helps.
At the moment I have to format my phone but I have no way of getting my contacts out!
I have a G3 flashed with tomal's black edition. One day I broke my sd card holder and quickly filled up my phone. Even after wiping it, it has intermittently become stupidly slow.
The big problem is that I wiped my home pc about 3 weeks ago as it was well overdue which was able to sync contacts, notes and calendar. My work pc was able to sync notes and calendar but I couldn't do contacts because it said I had to delete my existing ones first. Anyway, I had to wipe that pc on friday as it was given to someone else yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas?
Edit:
Free trial of Sprite Backup seems like it will do the job. http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/download.php?pid=191
Simpler solution, regedit hklu, software, microsoft, activesync, partners, then delete everything there and you can sync with whatever you want again.
