Synchronization

I lost the CD that came with my device, where can I get a copy of ActiveSync? more
ActiveSync is a free download that can be found on the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/ActiveSync/default.mspx
Is it possible to sync data wirelessly without a data connection? more
Yes, you can use Bluetooth to sync with your PC via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center or another device which also supports Bluetooth. It is also possible to sync directly with an Exchange Server.
How do I set up ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center? more
Once ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center is installed and your device is connected to your PC, you will be presented a configuration Wizard that will take you through the set up.
ActiveSync is not recognizing my device, what should I do? more
  • Be sure that you have not connected your device to your PC before you installed ActiveSync. If you did plug in your device before installing, uninstall ActiveSync and start the process over ensuring that you do not plug your device in until after ActiveSync has been installed. If using Windows Vista, the same applies for Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC).
  • Verify that your device is recognized by your PC in the Device Manager; if it is not, resolve that issue first.
  • Verify you are using the USB cable supplied with your device.
  • Unplug your device from the PC for a few seconds and then plug it back in.
  • Perform a Soft reset on the device while it is plugged into the PC.
  • On the device, go to Start à Settings à Connections à USB to PC and uncheck the Enable advanced network functionality box.
What options do I have to connect my device to a computer using USB? more
You can connect the device to a computer using USB either as an External Drive or through Microsoft ActiveSync. If using Windows Vista, you will use Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) rather than ActiveSync. Simply plug the device in and choose an option on the screen of the device.
I want to sync my device with my MAC, am I able to use ActiveSync to do this? more
ActiveSync is not compatible with Macintosh computers. While you will be unable to use ActiveSync, there is 3rd party software that allows synchronization between Windows Mobile Devices and a Macintosh. Please also note while you may not be able to synchronize your PIM information with your Macintosh computer / applications, you can transfer files such as music, movies, photos, etc. to your device. Simply connect your device to an available USB port on your Macintosh using the included USB cable and the Storage Card of your device will be visible as a removable drive on your Macintosh. Simply drag and drop files to this storage area as you would with any other external drive.
How do I install Microsoft ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)? more
Insert the "Getting Started" CD that came with your device into your PC and follow the prompts. Note: The disk will detect what operating system you have and what sync software you have loaded. If you already have ActiveSync installed on your PC, it will not give you an option to install it from the disk (same for WMDC) until it has been removed from your PC.
