Synch with PocketPC

[Angel Massa]

I've tryied to synch my iPaq 4150 Pocket PC with Windows Vista. I've read
that Active Synch has been changed for Synch Center. When I plug my Pocket
PC is recognized and Windows Mobile Center opens.

But I can only search for files on the Pocket PC or open Media Player.

In Synch Center I can't see my Pocket PC. Can somebody tell me how to synch?

Thanks,
Angel.

At the moment you can only sync media and use explorer with it. The actual
proper syncing shall be coming in a update (which will be available on
Windows Update), I'm told in the first week of July.

Paul, you rock! A straight answer!!!! So in July we may get PocketPC/Outlook
sync. Cool!

Maybe you can help with my connection issue:
I've got a Samsung i730 with WM5. Watching ActiveSync on my mobile, when I
put it in the craddle, mobile says "connected" and Mobile Device Center
starts trying to connect. But then, if just goes back to "not connected".
I've got no connectivity between the two.

THANKS!!

If you are using Vista Beta 2 then you shoudl find that after an Update
(force an Update if you need to) - you should have the new Mobile Device
Centre now - it rocks! It is everything that Activesync was and more - I
like the control that I now have over the apps and such.

Cheers

-- ActiveSync 4.2 will not install under vista 64 bit due to compability errors. Also, how do you get the pass thru box on the partnership configuration un - greyed? I need to connect AvantGo to their server.

Thanks Kyle!

I force update constantly. Device Center is v6.0.5444 right now. Is latest?

Seems the problem is all Bluetooth Devices now require a specific driver in
Vista. What a nightmare this is going to be as now we must wait for driver
from manufactures, which are notorious for not supporting a device they sold
last year and can no longer profit from. Microsoft, what are you doing? This
will create orphan products quickly.

So, the problem is I can manually add a Samsung MITs Windows Mobile driver,
but the driver doesn't work. Digging arounf this newsgroup, that seems the
common problem. Now lots are challenged on getting a specific driver to work.
Reality is could be months before every device has a perfected driver. Some
device may not get a device. I MISS ACTIVE SYNC and generic bluetooth!

Is anyone from Microsoft reading this?

Paul,

I have Sprint PPC6700 Vista RC1 and have the same problem as i have been
reading in the posts from Beta 2. Is there no resolution to this problem?

Well I'm running Vista RC1 and its way past July and there are no updates and
my Sync Center still will not allow me to sync my WM 5 device with Outlook..
all I can do is browse files. Is there going to be a fix for this anytime
soon?

I went to a Microsoft Briefing which included Windows Vista and after
checking out why I could not sync with my device and they could sync with my
device, it turned out that they had a more current version of the Beta. They
said the version should be out soon as they just got it shortly before coming
to the briefing. I can tell you that I saw it work so I know it does,
unfortunatly we just have to wait. Look for new release of the Beta.

Personally I think not syncing with Outlook is a bit of a blessing.

Now if syncing could be through bespoke Calendar (the one from the
system tray) without making a major commitment to Outlook I think i'd be
relieved

VISTA RC1 does not allow you to install ActiveSynch 4.2 Beta or any version
of ActiveSynch. I believe Windwos Mobility Center overrides ActiveSych. Well
- anything new on this issue.
