Out of the blue im having a problem with active sync
i connect like i always do with no problem, but 90% of the folder aren't their...
Pictures, personal, etc etc etc
I went thru all the files and folder and found a pictures folder, took the files from that to my desktop, then back to my phone,just to see what would happen and know i have double pictures.
I uninstalled active sync and installed a fresh copy and still have the same problem.
were did most of the folders go ?

When you set up your sync settings did you set it to overwrite the items on your phone or PC?
Sounds like this is the issue.

I'm not sure what OS you're running on your PC but you need to delete your current sync relationship and start a new one. It should prompt you as to how data is dealt with between the 2 devices. Such as for new contacts, Replace on PC, replace on Device, or only add new to device.
I think you can also access this through the active sync settings on the phone itself.
i figured all that out, i just have one know
I can connect fine, i just want to know were or why i cant view all the folders like i used to be able to

Then you obviously have it set to over-write the phone. Thats why your files disappear after you sync.
You have to change that setting.

I am having a problem with ActiveSync on my phone an Orange M700 running the HTC P3600 ROM. It was working with no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped syncing. I have tested the laptop with another PPC and ActiveSync notices it straight away.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5 to no avail so I returned to 4.2 and still nothing. I deleted all partnerships in both the phone and the laptop and when I plugged it back in the Windows saw the device as there was a pop up bubble in the bottom right corner but ActiveSync never kicked in.
I have had a look at the ActiveSync settings in the M700 but everything looks fine to me.
I have also been having problems with my 3G connection not connecting and doing the regular syncs it normally does e.g. my personal mail every 5 mins, my yahoo mail every hour and the weather every 2 hours. The only thing that has changed in this time is that I installed Fring, I can't imagine its related but I uninstalled Fring just in case but still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it as I have some new appointments (I'm not sure which ones) in my PDA which I want to get synced before messing around with hard resets etc.
Thanks
Did you delete any notifications of any kind, usually replog files? If YES, then you just deleted your notification to activate Active Sync on your computer. You can solve that easily by returning the file. READ this for the solution: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/blog/index.php?entry=entry051203-201515

I don't think I did that but I tried the file anyway, still no joy. I think my phone is also vibrating when I plug it into the PC now, very strange.

Have you ever used Check Notifications? It is a free software to clear away JUNK notifications.
Link: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
Sometimes, our PPC just creates duplicates of certain Notifications that can cause conflicts with some softwares. Maybe this is what is happening in your device. You can try and download Check Notifications, even though it says it is only compatible with WM 2003, I use it for my HTC Universal (WM5). Just go to Check Notifications settings and tick the 3 choices, run it and CLEAR those pesky bugs.

Right I ticked the three boxes and cleared the issues but still nothing
Normally I'd just hard reset but I am worried about losing appointments I've forgotten I have made since my last sync.

I don't know what else to suggest.
If you do decide to HARD RESET, take a look at this FREE BABKUP program for contacts and calendar events: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=backup
I hate doing hard resets myself, that is why I have SPB Backup configured to do automatic backups everyday at 5AM.
Good Luck...

Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how I am going to progress this. My major issue is that we use GroupWise at work with a third party app to allow the PocketPCs to sync with it. When you set it up it blanks the device before you can do anything, if I wait and import everything after this it usually can't cope with the levels of changes and kills the system on the server.
Oh joy, why wasn't someone looking at the "bigger picture" when we choose an e-mail system.....
Hey guys,
Im getting really annoyed now, i just want to syn my phone with my work laptop but heres the problem
Basically i was able to syn using 4.5 with my xda stellar no problem, then i messed it up by trying to enter my servers email to get it wireless and i did it wrong, therefore when i plugged by usb it got confused i think. and basically didnt work, just keep hanging.
So i did a hard reset back to factory settings.
Now i have all my contacts on my outlook work laptop, but everytime i try to sync, the computer activesync just seems to hang on sync, but my phone will either say connected or done etc but nothing has been sync back to the phone.
Firstly in order to get my contacts and my work calander, do i need to get them from the PC or exchange server??
and second when these are highlighted why does it just hang and not actually do anything??
I plugged it into my computer at home and it backups my files instantly and get a tick to say all done, but nothing like that happens when im at work??
can anyone help, as its bugging me, i just want all my contacts back on my phone and i also want to link my calander now too
Thanks in advanced
Shane

does that include photo sync?
I've got the same problem with new contacts from facebook...the old ones seem to work...
Yep. Both photo contact sync and album sync are working. The latter sometimes shows empty pages but after waiting for a while and trying again, I can see all the pics of my contacts
Sorry, but just how to sync facebook with contacts ? I cant seem to find the key to get it to sync.
solved!
I've solved it now!!
It was actually a problem with the data connection.
Its weird because it was working fine for updating people's statuses....
anyways when i checked the connections tab in manila settings, the data was disconnected and when i tried to switch it on, it took me to a random page.
then, when I touched the data connection bit, it gave me the option to set it up, so i chose o2 and ok then it set it up then switched on data.
after that, synced again and everything went swimmingly.
Hope that helps anyone having the same issue
still doesnt work here... I've disabled my providers data connection and only connect through wifi and I have no pictures of my contact from facebook. it worked just fine in older versions but now it doesnt... any suggestions?
Works fine here.
For all those its not working, did you do a Hard Reset after flashing the ROM?
Hope you've NOT restored your contacts etc. via a previous backup.
in my last rom (1.48wwe), after a while...or after some modding...fb album sync didn't work anymore, despite no data services problems. I could sync everythin but fb album in ppl tab never worked. so..I think it was some cab or modding, solved with hard reset
Only had my HD7 for about a week now and already reset it twice because I'm having problems with Windows Live not syncing!?
Everything was fine for a couple of days and I'd receive my email instantly after choosing that option in the settings. Now it seems everytime I leave my phone or lock it the phone refuses to sync and I have to do it manually.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Only thing I can remember which messed up my Live Mail was I added Facebook and Messenger (on the site) which then messed up my contacts as they were all showing in my phone - even though I had the phone set to only merge with existing contacts - so I deleted them all and re added my contacts which are backed up to my computer via .csv file.
Don't fancy resetting my phone all over again!
I'm starting to think Zune might have my setting saved on the server or something, as last time I did tell it to forget my phone but when I synced my phone after the reset to Zune, all my old Apps appeared on the clean phone.
I'm puzzled and it's starting to P me off now
I'm such a ****!!!
Realised I hadn't ran the network connection setup after the first reset - didn't occur to me after that it didn't automatically set it up like it would out of the box, and I needed to do it myself.
Feel so ashamed and such a noob FFS!
Ah no problem mate, great that you already resolved it yourself
Hi my laptop died on me, so ive just bought a new one, I have the problem now of having no files on my laptop whatsoever, and a phone full of music, photos videos contacts etc that was synced with my old laptop.
Can i sync my phone now so that all the data on my phone goes on to my laptop, so it can just be updated via HTC Sync, because as soon as i sync it now, i shall lose everything of my phone then i shall be well and truly stuck!
Thanks
If you change the setup from htc sync, you can choose that only the files from your phone get synced to the computer.
Or you can choose disk drive and do it manually.
Why not attaching the device as a disk drive and copy the data to your laptop using windows(?) explorer?
Contacts are synced with your gmail account, which in it's turn can sync with pretty much any other CM software.
Hi thanks for the help, all sorted now. Wasnt sure how to change sync settings in order to sync from phone to pc though?
