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!!!
I hope no thread has started with this issue...
Here is the situation:
1. There are growing number of new cooked roms based on WM6.5
2. On all of them (no exceptions, I think) people report they can sync (GSM or USB) once with an exchange server, and after the first successful time, they all get error syncing emails (0x80070057).
3. Almost all of them report AS works if the email folder is unchecked. Only emails can not be synced.
4. No response from any cooker regarding it. Somehow all of them ignore it, or , as I suspect, it is a bug in the OS.
Is there a way to cook a cab to install back the WM6.1 Active Sync as a work around? A generic cab would be appreciated, and this is across several phone models and roms.

I see it is either not important, or no answer...
I have this same problem on my Vogue with 6.5
Sounds like we will have to go back to 6.1 for now
its a known problem in the ported Wm6.5's , no fixes YET!
Unfortunately, not a single build of 6.5 has lasted long enough on one of my devices to actually sync with the Exchange Server... I've found every build of 6.5 to be about as useful as a football bat (This is not meant as disrespect to the chefs, I perceive 6.5 to be a shrunk down Vista in terms of capability and performance.)
The resolution prior to 6.5 has typically been:
http://social.microsoft.com/forums/.../thread/1427848e-d08d-4b8e-8abc-26c464362b9e/
Unselect certain exchange folders, sync and then reselect the folder and sync again... OR

Hard Reset the device
Remove the partnership from the PC
Remove the partnership from Exchange (via OWA)
Recreate the partnership
Last but not least, check the EXCH and IIS logs to see what is or isn't happening.
I think I'll reflash my main Hermes with Josh's latest build and try setting up AS to see if I get the same issue.
Josh's 21159
Initial Sync + 9 syncs (3 of each, Wifi, GSM/UMTS and USB)
all of them worked, no issues... whether user initiated or not.
Josh's 21189
Initial Sync +6 syncs ( 2 of each)
same as 21159... SUCCESS!
I'm heading into the office now and will be on the road for 20 minutes... would someone be willing to fire a couple emails off to [email protected] so I can gather some more data.
Testbed Workstation: WinXP MCE w/SP3
Exchange Server:

Hi,
I have a problem with my touch pro with every ROM I have testet yet (didn't test a wm 6.5 ROM) and a co-worker has the same problem with his samsung omnia i900:
When I create a appointment on the pda with yearly occurance and sync with the pc (testet with xp and vista64 with office 2007) it occurs every 12 years on the pc. It seems someone mixed up months with years..
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?
Greetings

Update
Sorry to bother you all, but I still have no solution.
As an Update: The same happens with a 6.5 Rom (latest Energy 3.0). A Friend with a Touch Hd seems not to have this problem (he is running Duttys V3.4 XT System 21048). The newest 6.1 ROM I could find for the touch pro was 21046 which had the same Problem.
Could anybody please check this with his phone, please?
Greetings

It's not WM 6.1 but Office 2007 Servicepack2
Seems I'm only talking to myself.. Another update:
Today I did a lot of tests: I installed a fresh outlook 2007 German in a virtual machine: syncing works. Installed SP1(for office): syncing works. Installed SP2(for office): New yearly appointments created on the phone occur only every 12 years on the PC... (Before SP2 there isn't even the option to make a appointment every x years..)
So Service Pack 2 for Office is the fault.... (I should get paid for this...)
Could anybody try this with SP2 (it can be uninstalled (seperate download))?
Greetings

Wow good find, yes I can confirm that occurence in Outlook Professional 2007 SP2 says 12 years.
Steps to reproduce.
1) On my HTC Touch Pro, create New Appointment;
Subject: Dummy
Location: Nowhere
Occurs: Every 4 June (for today's date)
2) Press Ok, and then Sync with Active Sync and Outlook SP2.
3) Go to Calendar in Outlook, double-click on the Dummy Appointment (select Series not single occurence and it shows Occurs every 12 years on June 4 effective 04/06/2009 from 12:00 to 13:00.
Confirmed!
a) My HTC Touch Pro is using Latest Stock ROM from HTC - WM 6.1 Pro.
b) PC O/s is Windows XP 64 bit and latest patches.
I think your assumption is right, it's an issue with Office 2007 and Active Sync. Not sure whether this was introduced in SP2 though!
Same problem here.
I sync my Touch HD on two computers:
Home - Vista 32/ WMDC 6.1/ Outlook 2007 SP2
Work - Win 2003 server/ ActiveSync 4.5/ Outlook 2007 SP1
Touch HD - Duttys 3.7XT (win 6.1 - build 21051) with Manila 2.1
Whenever I sync calendar on either machine alternately all yearly appointments (birthdays) occurs every 12 years.
It is only when I sync with "the other" computer it happens.
ie.
- I sync home computer
- I fix the appointments
- I later re-sync home computer
and all is ok.
if I then later sync to work computer, we're back to 12 years again.
This is also vice-versa, so if I fix the appointments on my work computer, I can sync that computer however many times I want. When I then later sync at home, 12 years...
I suspected an issue with WMDC 6.1, so I downgraded it to WMDC 6.0. But it didn't help...
I upgraded work computer's Outlook 2007 from SP1 to SP2 hoping that would help, but no.
I'm not sure when this error first occured. So I can't be sure whether the problem is with WMDC, Activesync, Outlook 2007, WinMo or Manila 2.0/2.1.
I think I'm starting to look into syncing with google OTA instead...

Exactly the same problem on my Omnia (latest original ROM).
I sync to two computers (both XP, Outlook 2007 SP2). Syncing works in the meantime (at least sometimes; Support Code 86000107 ).
Try changing the items from yearly appointment to "every twelve months".
It might work.
I experienced some funny things after changing to "every twelve months" and sync. Here's an example:
Computer 1: "every 12 months" beginning on June 6 ....
Computer 2: "every 12 years" beginning on June 6 ....
Omnia: "Every June 6"
Ain't it funny?

PS: Sometimes I long for my old Prophet.
FYI: Uninstalling SP2 for Office solved this problem on both Computers I sync with (it happened to both of them).
I assume not all people with this problem use the German version of Office 2007?
This is such a basic function for an pda.. and it doesn't work correctly with a fully patched current version of office..

Same problem here
I have the same problem when synchronizing my Touch HD with two computers using Office SP2.
The problem is also being discussed in this Microsoft thread:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...p/thread/8dbfde6c-9788-4ff9-a4b8-6b5751b765da
As a heavy user of the Outlook calendar, this bug is by far my biggest gripe. I really hope they get this resolved. I am seriously starting to consider other platforms that seem more reliable.
I'm also having this issue. I have two computers, one has Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2007 SP2, ActiveSync 4.5; the other has Windows 7 64 bits, Outlook 2007 SP2 and WMDC.
Do I have to uninstall SP2 from both computers or just one? I'm going to try uninstalling it on the Windows XP computer and see how it goes. I'll keep you updated.
Update: On the XP computer I have been able to uninstall SP2, but not SP1. SP1 cannot be uninstalled. And my install disc has SP1 included. If I must get rid of SP2 and SP1 on both computers to get around this, I'm out of luck, it seems.
Someone tried Outlook 2010 yet?
I have spent a couple of hours doing some tests, and unfortunately I have bad news. This bug is most like caused by a change in Outlook 2007 after installing SP1 or SP2 (I can't tell at this moment), which breaks Calendar synchronization with ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 (and 6.0). Moving to Outlook 2010 beta won't help either.
The test consisted on setting up two different computers with the following configuration:
Computer 1: Windows 7 32 bits Ultimate Release Candidate (that's the "spare" computer I can use for tests), with Office 2010 Home and Office beta and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.
Computer 2: Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bits, with Office 2007 SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5.
PocketPC: FS Loox N560 in which I used PIM Backup to transfer appointments, contacts and tasks from my main PDA. The FS had no previous association, and no PIM data, almost like hard-reseted.
I proceeded as follows:
I restored appointments, contacts and tasks into the PocketPC. Checked that data was there and seemed correct (some 205 contacts, 143 appointments, 7 tasks).
Then plugged the PocketPC to Computer 1 in order to load my PIM data into this clean install of Outlook (there was no previous data, I just set up one email to get it started).
First surprise, after WMDC completed synchronization most yearly appointments where changed to occur every 12 years instead. The weirdest thing was that not all of them where changed, but I didn't look exactly which were untouched, so I can't comment on that (I may do some additional testing here).
I spent some time correcting them all. Then I unplugged my PocketPC and plugged it back to check that repetitions were still every year.
Then I plugged my PocketPC to Computer 2. I set up ActiveSync to sync calendar, contacts and task. After synchronization was completed I was back to square one, all yearly appointments where now 12 years.
I changed a few back to every year, and went back to Computer 1. Again all appointments where changed to 12 years .
Then I tried limiting repetitions to 10 for some appointments (as suggested elsewhere), corrected again to happen every year. No luck, those were also changed to 12 years after moving from Computer 1 to Computer 2 or the other way around.
So, the conclusion is that after Outlook 2007 SP1, ActiveSync 4.5 and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 calendar synchronization is broken. If you have one single computer it's not that much problem, since once you manually correct everything, it will stay. The bad news is for those of us that have two computers and have to use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center instead of Microsoft Exchange to keep everything synchronized.
I have no work around to offer. Only maybe moving to Google Calendar and synchronizing desktops and PocketPCs with it. Or giving up with Windows Mobile. I find increasingly frustrating this bug and that no one at Microsoft seems to care about it .
As Eddie73 explained early in the thread, the problem was introduced with Office 2007 SP2, if you have SP1 you don't have the option to repeat an event every X years, so ActiveSync/WMDC don't mess up your yearly events.
Fortunately SP2 can be uninstalled using this tool from Microsoft. After that reboot and you're ready to go again.
This means that I have been able to fix the problem simply by uninstalling SP2 . Nice. I hope Microsoft fixes the problem sooner rather than later, because being stuck at Office 2007 SP1 isn't ideal.
Here is a macro that will remove the 12-year reoccurance. I cannot take credit here is the source: ttp://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobilehelp/thread/8dbfde6c-9788-4ff9-a4b8-6b5751b765da

I noticed task / calendar reminders are handled a bit different in WM 6.5. Is there a way to set the snooze length like in WM 6 and 6.1? Also I noticed occasionally not getting another reminder for quite a while (like more than 1 hour)
Anyone else seen this?
Hey All,
Just switch to a great 6.5 rom from Shep for my Raphael.
Im liking 6.5 but one thing im missing, i hope someone can help...
In 6.1 pocket Outlook calendar (default one) i could start a new appointment while typing. EG i tapped 12:00 and started typing; this would open the "new appointment" dialog. In 6.5 this feature is gone... ( at least i cant find it).
I really want to use this ability. Anyone know if and how to enable this in 6.5 ?
Tnx a lot !
