Does anyone remember how Active Sync would create a folder for you on your desktop or where ever with your files from your phone in it? Did that go away with 4.5 or am I just not looking hard enough or in the right places. It's like as soon as I installed 4.5, all of my old info got erased (especially my contacts) Am I seeing things....or maybe not seeing things? Please tell me my wife wrong and I'm not going blind.
connect phone to activesync
look in activesync pulldown menu : tools> options
there u can set file sync and such..
its called sync toy in windows vista and its not part of the mobile device center
when u update the rom of the mda u can connect to activesync and it will ask for you to setup
the device... just press next and next and dont change anything and it will work as long as your
phone has the same name in it... (owner name )

Sorry if it was already discussed here.
The problem is that when I do hard-reset the device and then connect to my PC, that ActiveSync wants to establish connection with it and asks for a name for the connection. The old name does not fit! Well, I used to experiment my device last weekend and my fantasy for an unuque name has gone.
How the hell can I tell to that stupid ActiveSync that the device is the same it used to work with an hour ago before hard-reset?
Best thing to do would be to change your device name back to the old name immediately after the hard reset.
Go to Start --> Settings --> System --> About --> Device ID and enter your old name in there. When you sync, ActiveSync won't moan about it.
Hi Activesync you may have to delete the partnership, this can be found under FILE.
Make sure you have the regional setting the same as before. Otherwise it will think its a different device.

Hey i'm kind of new to syncing I wanted to know if activesync for pocket pc can handle more than one phone and if it can have 2 sets of data, because my brother has a pocket pc and I also do and he says if I sync my phone on our computer, it can erase all the contacts off of his phone the next time he syncs, is this true?
and I had my phone at one point synced to another computer, is there atleast a way that I can copy it to this computer? like is there a file or anything that can be coppied?
I just flashed my phone and all my contacts and appointments etc. were on that computer
can anyone help me?

Yes, just set up partnership for each phone. So when activesync will recognize each phone when plug the usb in.
i apologize i meant to say that I have done that before, but more or less if outlook can have two sets of contacts......
and is there a file that I can copy from the other computer to this one with all the contacts and other info?

Not that I know of. I have 3 ppc's and if I let them all sync contacts, tasks and such they all have the same info.
You would have to set up seperate profiles for each phone and just uncheck the parts you dont want contacted.
If you absolutely must sync them both to outlook you can set up a seperate user account that way outlook will treat that particular log in as a seperate user and you can have him sync on one log in and you on another windows log in.

okay I may have to set up another windows user, but is there atleast some sort of file that I can copy? i have no contacts on my phone and I need to atleast get them on this phone...
the computer with the info isnt syncing to my phone since I tried to update it to activesync 4.5
PLEASE help me
I think the problem, is that it isn't very clear what you want to do. Are you looking to copy the outlook data file to another computer? Or are you trying to copy the outlook data file directly to your phone w/o syncing? If you are trying to copy the outlook data file from one computer to another, then yes...that is the Outlook.pst file. It is located in C:\Documents and Settings\{Profile Name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
Simply copy this file from one computer to the next replacing the old outlook.pst, or if you want to merge it b/c you have info on the other computer perform an import.
I am having an issue with activesync automatically changing the time on my WM 6.1 device to the system time on my laptop. I travel all over the country and need the phone to stay on the local time, vs the laptop system time which is set to home. I figured out how to stop the automatic sync before, but I have since had to wipe the phone clean and start over and now I can't figure out how I did it before. Any ideas?
Just connect your device with your laptop with activesync
On the laptop in the open active sync windows navigate to tools / options
In the dialog box which appears there is a "Settings" button. Press this button.
In the next box at the bottom there is a check box "Synchronize PC Date and Time Upon Connecting" Uncheck this box.
Hope this helps
Thanks smrz,
I'm running Windows7 and can't seem to find any menu in the Sync Center or Mobile Device Center that has what I need.

I've d/l 4.5 into my PC but I can't sync into my HD2. OK in my house I can only wi-fi data , I have to go outside to make phone calls on network. When I go to active-sync it sends me to MS like I'm on the PC & it gives me the interpretation to d/l 4.5 into the HD2. What the heck am I missing? Help!
Pls. Someone point me in the right direction,so I can sync my HD2 to my PC ,pls. Thanks ahead of time.
Okay, try uninstalling activsync. Re-download and re-install Activsync (remember for XP only, Vista and Seven get WM Device Center) then go through the setup. Plug in your HD2 via USB it should connect. Then, press the syn button at the top right corner I believe. It's been a while since I've used it since i'm now using Android but I believe it should still be the same!
Sorry for being late (sleep) Thank You that worked. It's been awhile & I thought I thought I overlooked something but it's good to know windows still works the same. If I didn't get this phone for a penny I'd be working with something else. Again Thank You.
So my windows phone 7 (omnia 7 ) only shows up as "device" not as Lucas Samsung Omnia 7
it says that i need to configure it and give it a name.
i am afraid that i will lose all my pics and music and stuff from the phone. i dont want zune to automatically delete my stuff and configure it as a new phone.
So is it save to configure it or is there a work around to re-recognize?
edit: it has a custom rom (DFT) (since a long time). which i dont want to lose
I think I didn't loose anything when I configured my Omnia 7 without and with Custom ROM in Zune, but I can't guarantee what happens with yours. However, after it was configured, Zune always copied everything from my phone to my computer. When I deleted one of those files, they were also deleted from my phone. Setting the sync to manual didn't help, so I had to cancel the sync everytime I connected my phone
Now I didn't configure my phone and Zune thinks it's a guest device. I can still sync manually, but I have full control
