Pocket PC Sync with Vista

[Angel Massa]

I've tryed to synch my Pocket PC with Vista. I've read that ActiveSync has
been replaced by a new SyncCenter included in Vista but it seems that don't
work for me.

When I put my PocketPC on the cradle a Mobile Center opens and I can see the
files on the PocketPC or open Media Player to synch music. But I can't synch
any contacts or appointments from Outlook as with ActiveSync.

Any one had some experiences with PocketPC's and Windows Vista?

Regards,
Angel.

Syncing with Outlook isn't available yet. An update will be coming out
shortly apparently to enable this functionality.

Same Problem here. Active Sync use to work great for me but I can´t sync
now... witch is not an small issue. Hope we get help soon. I tryed
reinstalling active syn and din´t work, donloading now the 4.2... just in case

There is an update available for Mobile Device Center. Either load Mobile
Device Center under Control Panel->Additional Options or go to Windows
Update.

I haven't gotten it to run after the update on Vista x64, but others have
reported getting it working...which I assume was Vista x32.

If anyone has gotten it to work un the 64 bit version let me know please.

I installled the update and it works fine but, yes, I´m running X32.

Hope you get your fix soon.

Glad to hear...and thank you. I'm sure there is a tweak or something.
If/When I get it working, I'll post so anyone else running x64 can try it.

Hi, I have just installed the update and can sync my ppc with Vista except
for contacts, calendar and email. Mobile Centre reports that Outlook has not
been configured but does not suggest how you do this.
Any thoughts.

Could you describe how you make it works?
I tried this update for 64 and 32 version. Both don't work. Vista recognized
my Loox720 and offer to sync via Exchange. Sync list doesn't contain Tasks.
Exchange sync doesn't return any error and syncing for a long time without
success.
Sync through PC is disabled.

What I did wrong?

Hi Rob,

I'm exactly in the same situation as you. The new update is great. I like
the new Mobile Center and it was nice to get the new feature thought an
automatic updated instead of wait for a new build. But is useless as I can't
sync becouse I get an error that says that Outlook has not been configured.

I still not found a solution to this. :-(

Angel.

Hi,
I've read your antwer and now I want to ask you, where can I find the update?

 

[Guest]

Where did you find the update? If you would be so kind...

I'm running on x32, and I think I have installed the update, but I'm having
the same problem... I can't sync Contacts, Calendar, or E-mail... it says
"Outlook has not been configured"
