Just purchased an XDA Orbit and tried to sync to my PC with ActiveSync 4.5, the Orbit just sits there doing nothing. I also have an IPAQ which I syncronise, and this works perfectly. I have removed the cradle from the PC for the IPAQ in case that is causing a conflict. When I attach the XDA cable, the same password box comes up as with the IPAQ but the password doesn't work. ActiveSync just hangs there for about 15mins before saying incorrect password. I have tried various things to fix this such as closing zone alarm, Anti Virus, attach the cable directly to the PC rather than through a hub, uninstalling and re-installing ActiveSync, removing the IPAQ profile from ActiveSync!!!
I've run out of ideas, any help greatly appreciated.

Hi
Please forgive an OT posting from a newbie on this forum, but I have tried elsewhere with no results.
I have inherited an old iPAQ 3630 that I want to get going but am well stuck with the following problem.
New installation of XP Pro + SP2 from original media on modern P4 with motherboard BIOS at latest rev. All ports work OK with other devices.
Firewall OFF.
New installation of Outlook 2003.
No other software installed (e.g. AV).
Soft reset iPAQ.
Install ActiveSync 3.8 as Local Administrator.
At the Get Connected screen insert iPAQ into USB cradle, turn on and plug into USB port on the back of the computer.
Plug and Play does its thing and iPAQ appears correctly in Device Manager.
iPAQ briefly displays Connecting to Host.
On the host Get Connected screen disappears and ActiveSync icon appears in System Tray.
Open ActiveSync on host and the green thing rotates; ActiveSync says Connecting - forever.
The ActiveSync never connects to the iPAQ. Never get to set up a Partnership.
Tried two other computers, Windows 2000, Outlook 2000, ActiveSync 4.0, Serial Connection. Same problem.
Tried hard reset of the iPAQ.
I have never seen this iPAQ connected. I was assured it worked. It has had an upgrade to PPC 2002 at some time in its life.
I have tried a couple of other forums but just get responses stating the obvious. So I thought I'd try the real experts.
Any ideas please guys?

Hi,
Using activesync 4.1 on a WM2005 device and encountered problems during sync. My laptop is able to sync halfway through but the process drops out halfway and activesync shows disconnected even though the device shows it is connect to Activesync.
Had no problems when syncing with another desktop computer, so it seems something is blocking on my laptop.
I am using vpn clients and have tried uninstalling them and it still does not work.
Any one has a resolution to this as it is quite frustrating.
Thanks

I would try
Backup all the important data
uninstall (and clean all the directory on the PC where it was installed)
Re-install it.
It look like a laptop configuration issue, I think this can help you:

this is my 3rd PPC and i am completely desperate about his problem which i never had before. i can not connect my JAMin trough USB or Bluetooth or Infrared, my activesync turns green but after 2 minutes trying to connect it says that can not get connected, also i have tried on my laptop and i get something else when i cradle with infrared or USB my windows crashed while sync. i have no Idea thought it is because of my Antivirus and AntiHackers i have installed on both computers but i get the same error even if i disable them, I have tried activesyc 4.1 and also 4.2 but same result again,
Any Idea????

I can't ActiveSync with my PC & Laptop. The computer re-starts everytime I connect my JamIn.
I used USB cable & bluetooth to Sync, I got same issue of re-starting with both.
Please help
Thanks
My XDA will no longer sync with my desktop PC (Running WinXP) via the cradle on USB or by bluetooth. The PDA has been previously synchronising untill the XDA was left uncharged for about 3 months. I have tried all the obivious things I can think of i.e
Disabling Firewall, Reloading MS Active Sync 3.7/3.8, removing all devices from other USB ports, XDA Hard reset, I have also tried a different PC running win 2000 the result is the same.
When the XDA is inserted into the cradle the PC makes the acknlowledge sound and the device shows CONNECTING USB but thats as far as it goes. The same thing happens when I try a bluetooth connection , the XDA shows connecting via bluetooth but does not connect.
I was wondering if it is possible to perform a ROM upgrade via the SD card, if so how does one perform such an operation. I am wondering if I have some sort of file corruption/missing drivers on the XDA!!!
Any ideas or comments will be greatfully received.
tried a hardreset ?
I have the latest Windows Vista Mobile Device Center installed (the new actviesync replacment) It was working great with my new Treo 750 for a few days. For some reason I can no longer establish a USB connection. Instead of the normal postive sounds (boo beep) you hear three (boo boo boo) when you plug it in. Also, why do you have to push the button on the USB cable before it does anything? My previous non Palm Windows Mobile devices didnt have that.
boo = low tone
beep = high tone
So again, no more boo beep, only a very quick boo-boo-boo. I still get the BEE boo when I unplug it or the phone shuts back off though. Shoot what heck is wrong? My ipaq 6900 had no issues on the same computer for many months.
I tried reinstalling Mobile Device Center
I tried a new USB port
I tried softresetting the Treo
What else should I check out before I try a hard reset?
Does anyone else have connection issues?
The connection issue sucks, because now I cant use PDANet for my USB internet connection as well.
Any advice?
I uninstalled PDANet from both windows vista and the treo
I uninstalled windows mobile device center (and the driver update) via control panel, pograms, remove
I rebooted windows vista (32 bit by the way)
I reinstalled windows mobile device center
I plugged in my treo 750, hit the button on the cord, boo BEEP
"USB Device Not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
Ok, so my next task will be to test this on another Vista machine to rule out if it's the phone or windows that has the problem. :-/
I've got same problem, but I never sync treo with pc completly error is (Server is bussy) code 0x80072EFF
pc see my treo but don't sync contacts anything.
I was reinstall wmdc and make hard reset on treo ... it's terrible .. maybee wm6 will help.
media sync problems
I have no problems with WMDC using USB and Bluetooth. Sometimes I get an error but I just hit Sync and it syncs up.
I'm having problems when syncing media. The Treo disconnects after a few songs are synced so I have to remove the cable then plug it in again many times before a sync is complete.
Have you tried checking if WMDC is allowed through Windows Firewall?
S4czech,
Can you give a try for the tip described below :
