To make your BA compatable with Vista download Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from offsite.Choose the package?depending what OS you running - x86 or x64! And you will be able to sync all your contacts,data,programs...
Windows Mobile Device Center replaced Activesync in Vista.
I had the same problem, with the orginal Windows Mobil Device Manager which you get with vista you can only sync files, but nothing else.
You have to download Mobil Device Manager Beta 3, after installing this one you can make a full sync with your pda.

i did just that..but as soon as i plug in my BA sync center makes an error nd i get the close or debug window...whatever i do..it remains open nd u can browse and sync pictures but no contacts or installations...nd activesync on my BA wont connect..its always waiting for network!
if u use wm5 on your ba try this setting on your ba: start => settings => connections => usb to pc = and check "enabe advanced network functionaliity"

thanks guys the update worked a treat on my xda2`s with helmi upgrade
its already enabled....i've been tweaking with setting for a month now (i've had vista for 2 months) nd i cant get it to work :S
i think there's some service in vista thats disabled or something..i just cant figure it out...btw...i also have office 2007 (outlook) if that helps...if anyone knows of something else that can sync my contacts with outlook plz tell me.
btw..helmi...u took the data backup prog from ur latest rom..where can i get it from?
Hello, you are sure you have e release version of vista?, because i sync my pda every day with my computer with the things i told here, you can try die delete the device from devicemanager and let the system find it with the new drivers form the mobil device manager beta 3.
After i istall the MDM3 my system find a new deivce and install it.
Somting is wrong with your system.
I use outlook 2002 on vista, it's a little bit buggy ( every startup it want make a new profil), but i have not a newer one.

yeah i have the pre-release final version..build 6000...but it seems that there's something buggy with the installation...i'm gonna reinstall windows nd see wat happens.
thx.
Theres no such thing as a pre-release final version!
You have the final version which was released 30th November 2006 to large companies, and to the general public on the 30th January 2007.
i have the final version...but i got it before nov30....which makes it pre-release...anyways its the same windows....the final build...nd thats not the point of my question!
anyone knows anything abt the backup program that used to come with helmi's rom?

just as a reminder, this tool will not let u restore the backup on different version of wm5.
say you backup on aku3.2, then u upgrade to aku3.5, the restore would not work.
ActiveSync is a better tool to backup contacts, calendar ......

OK i will say to everyone that official presentation of vista and office2007 is after few hours, so comments like i have vista from microsoft legally are just ridiculous, and the ridiculous part is not that someone have it, but that this someone do not know how to connect hes pocketpc to it. Only people that have vista before the official launch are large OEMs and Small group of beta testers which recieved thir copies as reward of beta testing. These are the two legal ways of having vista.
[/offtopic]
I got mine through the Beta program. It wasn't released on 30th November by the way, its original release was 8th November to MSDN subscribers.
/ontopic - I do however have a lot of problems with the Sync Center and my BA. I've not actually got it to sync properly yet on RTM.
Has anyone got any thoughts on the new system? Does the ActiveSync replacement:
1) allow more than one device to be connected?
2) avoid duplicate items?
Cheers!

@Biohead: yeah i forgot about MSDN subscribers you are right, but I am mad about that everyone claims that they have licensed vista and they are not MVP's, MSDN Subscribers, Technical Beta Testers or OEM's, why they are trying to lie, i was in the beta test, i have tested every version provided on connect, and i have not recieved a copy of vista, maybe guys who provided more bugs had copys. whatever i will buy it maybe after SP1 because it really needs a lot of patching. Vista is not what it was promissed to be(look at longhorn demos a way back and you will understand what i mean)
Ontopic:
I have problems with it too, The first time it syncs fine, after that it does not work at all or crash upon connecting.The temporary Fifx for this is remove the WMDC and reinstall it. I think it is not BA specific issue it is all WM device specific one. How we can not have problems with activesync under XP?

i dont know how valid this is right now...since vista is already out...but here's proof that my version is genuine...
i could send u pics of the intallation cds if u want!
anyway...all i needed to know is whether the sync center was buggy or not...nd it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem....btw...a simple solution to this problem would be to install TinyXP on a Vmware workstation nd sync ur BA on that...its a hassle...but it works.
Remember, Sync Center IS STILL IN BETA!!!
My friend got a tilt after he saw my awesome pimped up tilt in my hand... problem is.. he only have a mac (that sucks), and he have no way of syncing his data with his Mac
Now anyone with any experience hooking up wm6 to sync with a Mac for calenders and contacts and notes and file installation and stuff? I heard SyncMate, and it's free, anyone who uses mac using it? is it any good? Any other suggestions for syncing between mac and wm6 devices?
Thanks for your input.

Search for "The Missing Sync"
I haven't tried it with my Kaiser yet, but SyncMate worked okay with my Hermes.
The downside of SyncMate is that it needs to install its own USB driver (since it doesn't use ActiveSync), and that driver conflicts with WM5torage - mind you, since WM5torage is hit/miss on the Kaiser anyway, it might not be that big of a deal.
It worked for data synchronization, but accessing the device as a file system is "experimental".

he should be happy, MAC is way better, but that's now offtopic
I just messed around with SyncMate, which works perfectly for me. I hear much less complaints on SyncMate compared to The Missing Sync.
Syncing notes: You'd have to get the expert edition for $39,95. It syncs with Stickies as far as I know, haven't tried it yet (cheap Dutch guy )
Installing files: you can mount the complete device on your mac, and transfer .cab files over to the phone.
In short: SyncMate by Eltima software
PS: also read this discussion

LINK Phone Data Manager. Microsoft.
EDIT:
If your phone has a Windows Mobile Operating system, in general, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work with it; please note that for Windows Mobile phones, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work only via a USB data cable connection.

The Touch Diamond is a smart phone....
Just installed it, backing up files now. Seems to work fine.
Though I prefer syncing contacts with outlook instead of Windows Live.
The main problem with this is that there is no way to manage the contacts unless you use Hotmail as your email provider. This is an issue I've been trying to get MS to change for ages.
i just hope PPCPimBackup still works with the Diamond. i dont see why not since my mogul is running WM6.1 too.
great program and incredibly easy to use

tried that piece of software to sync multiple calendars... ended up deleting everything sychronizable on my phone
Hey friends,
i have problems with my ActiveSync and Goolge Calendar, i´m Sales Manager so i need this booth tools. My Company enter the Appointments in Google Calender and i need to sync them with my HD and my Outlook to visit my clients right time...
Now my HD dyncs only one way, if i make some changes in the google calendar the HD get it, if i change something on HD and sync back there is no entry no entry in the google calender..
So there is a problem with ActiveSync in newer Builds i think, i tried with Energy ROM Titanium from 1 May, also with blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer v0.9, Xanny Tech 2.6 and Cloudy 1.7....
Maybe there is a mistake at my side, but i don´t think so, always setup the ActiveSync the same way, now it doesn´t work any more...
Maybe somebody have an idea ????
Thank You guy´s!!!
SoLong, Andi
office 2010 might be culprit....read this ... maybe it might help
http://pocketnow.com/thought/reminder-dont-install-64-bit-outlook-if-you-want-to-sync
Thank you for the link!
I don´t think so, i use Office 2007 on a 32bit system, all worked correct with n97, n97 mini and Desire.
Only the HD does not work...
And no!!!! I don´t want to take another device, i want to use the HD
Thank you!
