Synchronize device (WM 6.1) with 2 PCs via ActiveSync 4.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hallo,
I have a bg trouble. I have two notebooks. One at work (PC1) and one personal at home (PC2). I have looked for a solution how to get my contacts, tasks and notes from the notebook at work to my personal notebook. I use Micorost Outlook 2003 on both. And of course I will be able to work with my Outlook entries on both computers. I decided that I synchronize my HTC Kaiser with both computers.
The synchronization worked well with contacts and calendar entries. I suggest it. I have problems with tasks. I synchronized the Kaiser with PC2 and these happened - the reccuring entries got reminder dates reffering to the first due date. So i got for example a 114 weeks overdue task. I thougt that I change this at the PC2 and everything will be OK. But so i synchronized the same problem to PC1. And I have lost the completion in % information.
I do not know now where I have to do what to have the same tasks (title, due date, reminder date, completion) on PC1, PC2 and Pocket PC (here I lost also the reminder information). Can somebody help me please? How can I do it? :-(
And please, it is possible somehow to synchronize with 3 PCs?
Many thanks to everybody who wants me to help!!!

WM5 activesync with two PCs / 2 PCs

I am working for two companies and have to keep both Outlook/Exchange agendas up-to-date. Until now I did this by plugging my Qtek S100 (WM 2003) into each of the PCs. As we know, this is no longer possible with WM5.
Has by now anybody found a solution or an elegant work-around, or do I have to stick to two PDAs, one for sync reason? Thank you and best regards, Stefan
why is it impossible with wm2005?
i sync with everything on my desktop at home
and sync with calender and tasks and notes and favourites
on my laptop at work it works without any problems at all
You can sync everything from both into your one device, but you would need Intellisync. It would not be set-up as an exchange source on the device, simply as 2 seperate PC's.
Obviously having the two set-up means you would not be able to sync with your home PC because you're limited to 2 ActiveSync PC connections, but you could still set-up your own Exchange source with any of the push mail providers to do this.

He mentions Outlook and Exchange. 2 Outlooks isn't a problem, but 2 Exchanges is.
2 Exchange Servers the Problem?
That is not my experience with WM5.
When establishing the partnership with Outlook1 I have to decide if I want to sync my calendar with that Outlook - which I do want.
Upon establishing the partnership with Outlook2 I cannot choose calendar to sync with Outlook2 as it is already being occupied by Outlook1.
And yes, behind both Outlook is (a different) Exchange Server, but I would not need to sync with the Exchange Server directly, synching with both Outlooks would be good enough.
Thank you AlanJC!
Thank you Alan, your hint lead me to a working solution.
I synchronize Agenda, Contacts and Tasks with Exchange Server 1 via Server Synchronization.
I synchronize Agenda, Contacts and Tasks with Outlook 2 using XTNDConnectPC, which allows me to synchronize the data of my WM5 Smartphone with the contents of the Outlook-Client.
BTW: Intellisync worked as well, but had some flaws in "forgetting" to synchronize certain Calendar entries with other people participating. XTNDConnectPC does not seem to have that problem.
Thank you again, Alan!

activesync support code : 1

My phone = HTC wizard (WM5)
I sync with my university's Exchange 2003 server.
OK, the other day i took three pics (100-150KB each) with my phone camera. I tried to email them to one of my hotmail accounts. I did this by clicking on the pics (in the Pictures & Video folders) and selecting "Send". Then It asked me to select an account and i choose "outlook" which i assume is the email i sync with exchange because the only other option was MMS.
Then i clicked on send/recieve and it synchronised with exchange etc, but then it said Attention Required and the emails had not been sent. I tried this many times but could not get the emails to be sent. When i connected my phone to the computer and tried it thru my computers activesync, it still didnt send the emails, giving me support code 1 error.
That support code isnt even listed with the others here.
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php
i even tried changing my activesync settings to download full emails and full attachments (i.e. not only if attachment smaller than <insert number>KB.
in the end i gave up and deleted the emails. now when it connects with activesync i get no problems and no support code 1.
I am just wondering why it couldn't send a few simple emails with pics attached.
ALSO, since im making a thread anyway, my outlook.ost file is 0KB. Is that normal?
Similar problem with HTC Touch Diamond
Hello friends,
I am having similar problem with my Touch Diamond. A few of my contacts fail to synchronize. I get the error Support Code:1
Any help??
Have you tried duplicating this again at all? Like with just one pic.
Support Code 1
Hi people,
Hi had this ERROR when I was synchronizing all my stuff in my kaiser. I found the solution with my friend google and this forum:
Click Start > Run and type the following: Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\ole32.dll
Click OK, Reboot your PC. Sync again.
After reregistering ole32.dll, you should scan all items on your mobile device for unsynced annotations. If there are, CHANGE the item on the mobile device and sync. This is the only way to keep all your changes made and sync them to your desktop PC.
Some of the items where having issues and that was the origin of "the support Code 1"
active sync support code:1 Alltel Touch Pro
Scan how, what do I do on the phone?
I'm getting a number of items that were recurring b'day entries
I found and deleted them on the PC, but I can't find them on the phone
to delete them. I'm still trying to setup the phone, so if needed, I can do a
cold reset. Alltel replaced a ppc6800 with the touch pro. *sigh* I miss
all the buttons. Anyway I do have good data in Outlook and a good PIMbackup
just before turning in the old phone. I tried the ole32.dll thing but no luck.
Can anyone suggest a button mapping program, the windows one only sees
the 'red' button as programmable? I'm also looking for a 'how-to' to use
SPB's P+ & Mobile shell instead of the touch3d thing. I have Resco Regedit
and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks
Activesync Support Code 1
I hope this is helpful to someone with Activesync problems.
I sync my AT&T Fuze with Outlook on my desktop using Activesync 4.5 on XP. Contacts, calendar, tasks, notes. My first sync just loaded up my Fuze from Outlook, based on existing data that was previously synced with 8525. Subsequent incremental syncs worked fine, until one day I started getting the infamous Support Code 1 along with a long list of Fuze updates that would not sync to Outlook. I was amazed at how little information there is on the web about these types of Activesync errors.
I finally figured it out. I had imported a new Outlook data file into Outlook, because I needed to convert it from Outlook format to Outlook Express format. After the conversion, I had left the second Outlook data file (mail, calendar, tasks) in Outlook, even though it was not being used. Apparently, the presence of this second Outlook data file was enough to confuse Activesync and prevent the syncing of new updates from my Fuze. After I deleted all traces of the data file from Outlook (and thus had only my single main data file), Activesync began working again, and the Support Code 1 did not occur. I realize that I am just describing symptoms, but since I can do what I need to do, I am not digging deeper. Perhaps there is a way to tell Activesync which Outlook data file to use, but I don't care.
change contact-pictures to 240x320 pixels
Make sure your contact-pictures do not exceed the 240x320 pixels format as larger pictures cannot be synced in outlook!

How do you scan for offending items on the phone? I have this same issue with 25 birthdays and anniversaries on my phone. They don't show up in the calendar on the phone or in Outlook 2007, though. How do I find them?

Did you ever get or find a answer to this question? I'm getting this error with a recurring task that occurred in the past. And the support code 1 indicates the item is on the phone. But I can't find a way to view old tasks on the phone at all. I go to the referenced year/month and it's simply not there.
I've wiped the device, but my situation is complicated by syncing with Win7 at home with no issues and win xp at work. Why mobile device under Win7 pushes old tasks you can't view on the phone is it's own issue.

Wow! Time flies, and it didn't take long for my reminder to reply to this to get buried WAY at the bottom of my Inbox. Sorry for the delay. The way that I solved this problem was through Outlook. I sync with Outlook, and I believe that I went in and deleted them from there. I believe that if you go into the Calendar in Outlook, and select "Events" for the current view, you may find some strange looking events. Mine were events that started out with a couple of blank spaces. I believe they were birthdays/anniversaries that didn't have any names in them, only spaces. At any rate, you should already have SOME indication as to the name of the events, and you should look for those and try to delete them.
I have since then flashed a couple of times, so I'm not sure if it got fixed by flashing or with the Outlook solution. Needless to say, I haven't had this problem since, so I suspect that it was a random problem that got fixed at least by reflashing. Sorry.

I fixed it through outlook as well. Though I did find some way to see the event on the phone. Thanks!

Active Synch Outlook 2007 results in wrong birthday under contacts on Tilt

After synching laptop to Tilt with Outlook 2007, the birthdate of people in the contacts shows up on the Tilt as one day earlier than the day recorded on the laptop. Anybody else experience this problem.
My problem is almost the same.
Flashed my BlueAngel to WM6.1 and now birthday and anniversary fields in Outlook XP and PocketOutlook (contacts and calendar) are set one day early.
The really funny part is, that in thunderbird (synced with birdiesync) I have the right dates in addressbook, but not in the lightning calendar as reminders.
Any solution for this?
Please check the timezone on your Laptop / PC and your phone.
ActiveSync changes appointments and other times based on the difference in timezones so they would actually appear "on time".
If there is a large enough difference between PC and Phone they may shift a whole day.
Also please avoid posting questions in the news forum. It is for news only!

Windows Mobile 2003 SE - contacts birthday in calendar?

Hello everybody and a Happy New Year,
I would like to know if it's possible to automatically transfer (take over) the birthday dates of my contacts in the calendar as recurring events (reminders), to be able to display them on the "Today" screen. I would like to do this without additional software, if it's possible. I have the english version of Windows 2003 SE on my Dell Axim X30i PDA (firmware A05).
Thank you very much in advance for each advice!
Conrad-007
I know there is a program todo it, i'll have to find it tonight.... The main problem would be that i don't know if it supports wm 2003.....
Thank you for your reply. So you mean is not possible without an additional software? So in WM2003 the contacts birthday datas will not be automatically transfered in Calender as reccuring events?
There is a program called "darkannifalert" That says it will add alerts for contacts birthdays (i have never tried it but i imagine it does what it says ) No wm does not natively support adding birthdays to your calender. You can give the program a shot but it probably was made for wm5 and later (you're 3 versions of wm behind, so it will be a little harder to find 3rd party apps )
As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone
"As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone"
but...when I go to phone's calender ..view by month ...that day would not be highlighted ..but when i click into taht day ..the word who birthday appeal ..is normal to wm?

Help needed!!! problem with yearly recurrences and their synchronization

Hello, I experiencing problem with Pocket Outlook and MS Outlook 2007 synchronization. Problem is that appointments which has recurrence set to 1 year like birthdays, anniversaries ... are correctly transferred from PC -> PDA (when edited by MS Outlook 2007), but when I made some modification to such appointments in PDA with Pocket Outlook (for example changing reminder time, name, ...) then after next synchronization when changes from PDA -> PC were sent the 1 year recurrence is changed to 12 years!!! And the worst and most frustrating thing is that when I synchronizing between two PCs then all appointments with such settings are changed from 1 year to 12 years!!!. Maybe it should be 12 months I'm not sure. I'm using Windows XP with Outlook 2007 and ActiveSync 4.5. Is there some problem with configuration or it's a bug? Strange thing is that this problem is related only to yearly recurrences (at daily,weekly and monthly recurrences there is no problem).
I test it also after clean boot of my device and the problem still persist. I also have a chance to make a test with HP device where is WM6.1 but with the same behavior as WM5.0. So I think that this is a bug inside the Pocket Outlook or ActiveSync with handling yearly recurrences. Can somebody clarify it? Is it possible to get a fix for this?
Thanks for quick response.
