Hi all,
It driving me insane that I can't work it out why Activesync is not syncing my phone.
Here is the situation. Got the phone from my brother. With him it synced fine, with USB cable, with Outlook 2003 and WM6.5.
I have the same setup but Outlook 2007.
What happens is that when it connects, it finds the device, I only set it to sync contact, tasks and calender of outlook. It then says "Looking for changes" and soon after it says "Synchronizing". But then it hangs.
I searched the forum and the internet. I tried reconfiguring, soft resets, installing CompanionLink (software that works through Activesync).
No joy!
I simply want to be able to keep my contacts, calender and tasks from outlook synced. Nothing more.
Any help!!?!
I had the same problem when i used Active Sync from XP, but i works when im using Win7.
Try deleting all the Active Sync settings and make the configuration from Win7. When i did that it worked when i connect to the PC with XP - strange but true...
Ok. But what do you mean with "make the setting for win7"?
Yay! Got it to work!
Funny that I had the feeling in the beginning that it might be the amount of to-be-synced items was going to be too big. And somewhere on the net I found someone with the same idea.
I disconnected the device (usb cable). I removed the device from the "file" dropdown menu. And reconnected the usb-cable. When prompted with the wizard, in the settings I deselected ALL the to be synced categories.
Then it found the device and it synced... nothing.
But it said it synced.
Then I opened the option menu in Activesync and added only the contacts. And hurray! It started syncing. Then I added the agenda and hurray again!
The only thing that happened is that I ended up with duplicate contacts and agenda items. But after an hour I had that fixed too.
Note: Although I don't think that it contributed to the solution, I did reinstall and soft-resetted the device before I did all this. Just to let you know...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this:
1. At setting | connections | Run the the 'USB to PC'
2. Uncheck "Enable faster data..."
3. Uncheck "Ask me first about USB...."
4. Soft reset phone & PC
5. sync again.
Note: This may enable activesync works but file transfer from PC to Phone/Storage will fall back. may need to swap the setting back.
HOPE it helps.

I cannot find a way to sync my contacts onto my pc.
The box for ticking this to sync is not even there nor is the calender.
Does anyone know how to set this up?
re.
when you install activesync dont select guest partnership.
select standard partnership.
in that after a few steps you will see all the boxes select whatever items you want to activesync and it will be saved to your computer.
hope this help's you.
Thanks for your post.
I have tried that and the messege i get next to contacts is
''not installed'' is there an addtional patch to activesync i may be missing?
Have you installed OUTLOOK.
No because i am using Aol and have been told its not compatible. Would that effect it? ive noticed if i install it, it says i can connect to a server and the tic box for contacts appers, problem is it tries to connect to a server and not my pc.
I have installed active sync on my computer at work and gues what??
I can get it to sync my contacts!!
Yet I cannot get it to do this on my home computer???
I have now installed a new copy of windows due to a nasty virues.
Yes I still dont get the option to sync my contacts, calender etc.
Bummer!!
"Out of the box" Active Sync will only allow you to Sync with OutLook.
There may be 3rd party tools that allow you to Sync to other products.
AOL? Yeuch!! I've seen how AOL works on (and screws up) peoples' PCs.
I bought a Samsung i640 (wm6) a couple of days ago, but I do not manage to get my contacts from my pc (Win XP, office 2007) to my phone. I am trying to sync by USB cable (comes with the phone) by Activesync 4.5.
I tried a lot of things, all of which did not help. I tried:
- the Activesync 4.5 from the phone package
- the Activesync 4.5 downloaded from Microsoft.com
- Activesync 4.2, not supported by the phone, as the phone says
- deleted the phone profile from Activesync and re-installed it several times
- deleted and re-installed Activesync serverel times
- used the replace phone items with pc items setting, and the combine items setting
- used several Activesync settings, and unchecked the advanced network functionality setting in the phone
- checked my firewall (Kaspersky) settings, disabled Kasperky
- ran the Activesync troubleshoot functionality, no problems found
- checked the .pst file, no problems found
When I added items to my agenda on the phone, they synced nicely to Outlook. Also, a test contact created on the phone appeared in Outlook, but a contact created in Outlook did not appear on the phone.
After trying to sync on a different pc (Win XP, Outlook 2003) the contacts, which I copied to a .pst file from Outlook 2007, nicely appeared in my phone. When I connected to my own pc at home, the contacts appeared as doubles in Outlook, taken from the phone. After deleting some double contacts, they got deleted from my phone as well, although there still was one entry in Outlook.
I decided to clean the profiles from Activesync from my phone, after which all my data on the phone were deleted as well. After syncing again, I noticed that my contacts did not return, as I expected. Also, I noticed some agenda items appeared in my agenda, but only the one which were placed into Outlook from my phone, and the ones created in Outlook did not move to my phone.
So, I think some sort of connection error is on my pc, in Outlook 2007, as all items from my phone get to my pc, but not the other way around. Also, I think my phone settings are corrected, as I managed to put my contacts via Activesync 4.5 on my phone on a different pc.
I hope someone can help me, as I have no clue how to solve did, and I did not find any information on the internet in different forums.
Thanks in advance.
well.... its very strange but when i make any change on outlook calander on pc and/or serwer i cant see the changes on the pda.
but if i make changes or new apointments on pda it shows on the pc and on the serwer system.
i sync throw the serwer.
hope someone can figure this strange issue.
Had this issue as well, and I just solved it:
- Connect the Mobile Device to the Computer and make sure all your appointments are listed on the desktop.
- Disable Calender Sync in ActiveSync
- A message will pop-up, saying that all appointments will be erased from the Mobile Device. Accept this and continue.
- Enable Calender Sync in ActiveSync
- Happy 2-way Syncing
hi rudolf

Hi guys,
I had my HD sync'd to my home computer, and everything was nicely uptodate (calendars, contacts/phonebook, notes etc).
I decided to install activesync on my work computer and sync it to that while at work. It said that "an existing partnership was on my phone with another computer", and asked me if I wanted to create a new partnership - so I did. But I made sure I did NOT sync my works outlook or calender, it was just a pairing, no data to sync.
Now i've come back home, plugged my HD back into my home computer, and it says that "an existing partnership was on my phone with another computer", and asked me if I wanted to create a new partnership, so I did (again). But this time it errors when trying to sync, and worse yet, all my calender appointments, and my entire contact list is empty on the phone!!
(im not stressing too much because I have a PIM backup, and everything still exists within outlook on my computer anyway)... But whats going on?
Is there a file or something stored on the phone that tells the computer that it is already partnered?
Is it possible to sync two machines?
Any advice, or help would be much appriciated.
Thanks.
Any ideas guys?
I'm running WM 6.5 on my Blackstone, and about half the time when I plug the phone into the computer I lose all my data that is synced with Outlook. If I go into WMDC, the white check mark boxes next to "Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks, Notes, and Mobile Favorites" are unchecked, and it will not allow me to check them. Then, when I look at my phone the information is all gone. When this happens I have gone into Outlook and created a new .PST, and it resyncs with no problems.
This happens when WMDC is already open when I plug in the phone, and when it isn't. It seems random.
I hope this makes sense! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Wendy
Have you tried to completely reinstall WMDC on your computer and delete partnership with Blackstone?
