Here is good news
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.html
New version of the Missing Sync will be release in June.
Personally, I tried both and did not like any
I hope the new Missing Sync will do the job

Hi,
I would suggest PocketMac. I've been using the app for just over a year, as I previously had a dell axim before my SPVM2000. THe software works great and just needs you to connect your pocket pc via bluetooth, usb or wifi and it'll happily sync and install software any time you want it to.

Synchronization

Does anyone know if there is an alternate to ActiveSync?
I have been using WinMo for about a year and am disappointed that the sync software from M$ doesn't actually sync. That is to say, it doesn't look at a file - say Contacts - and use the more recently updated one to overwrite the other one, regardless of whether the newer one is on the PC or the phone.
For example, if I enter a new contact into my phone, while I am in the field, the concact does not show up on my PC after a sync. Still on the phone, but not actually synchronized to the PC.
Is there software that actually synchronizes or do they all just follow the "overwrite phone/ overwrite computer" rules?
I should mention that I sync between 2 PCs.

The best there is.

Wow!
Thanks!
Can't wait to give this a try!

Mmm it looks like it doesn't sync outlook stuff (calendar, contacts, tasks, email).. is that the case?

sounds like you have a configuration issue w/ activesync - mine will take whichever is newer, even when syncing between 2 machine. in fact, i've used my phone to sync my work and home machines by using my phone as the go-between. I think the "overwrite phone/etc" settings only kick in if a record is changed on both the phone as well as the desktop?

it sounds like he wants to Sync on 2 PC's and get all stuff on both

you can sync on 2 pcs and get everything on both. the only thing you can't sync to two machines is email...

Task Sync Error
Hi all,
I had a look but couldn't find any help on this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a Tytn II running WM6, it syncs all my contacts and everything, however i have created a couple of tasks that occur on a weekly basis. I created them in Outlook and then synced them to my phone. The problem i have is when i complete the task and mark it off on my phone, the next time i sync, the task in outlook is not complete and has made a duplicate, is there any way to change this.
Thanks

Sync Diamond with Mac OS X 10.5

I know there are a few options out there for WM and Mac syncing, but need to know which ones work reliably with the Diamond for Calendars, Contacts. Pics, music and video would be good too.
Is The Missing Sync the best to get in this respect and has anyone tested with the Diamond ?
cheers in advance.

MissingSync works for me very well...

Cool thanks. Needed to know before buying it. New to the whole WM thing and getting my Diamond Weds with luck.

If anyone has a Diamond and a MacBook Pro, can you let me know if the Internet Sharing with PAN Bluetooth works and is reliable?
My current Hermes has a bad latency issue which seems to affect a lot of WM devices when tethered with the MacBook Pro / Airs.
Thanks
Aidan

Will give it a go later in the week if I get my Diamond ok on Weds. Mind you, will be fun being a new WM user trying to get it to work ;-)
Its a feature I'd like to be able to use.

It works well, still a bit slow tho, tried it the other day for fun.
You can go online alrite, dunno if it's where i was sitting but hte connection was slow

Any chance of a little tutorial chap ?
Could never get my Nokia N95 to work correctly.

Try it !!
Syncmate.

I use Sync Mate and its pretty good.

Will give it a go too.
Thanks.

Been having real issues with both SyncMate and Missing Sync.
Both do not sync correctly... I usually sync just one group out of Address Book (not the whole thing) and keep that up to date. 1st time I sync it works, subsequent times it insists on syncing all my contacts.
Calendar is also a bit flakey.
Running Mac OS X 10.5.4
Mark Space do not seem to warrant any pre sales support either so are of no help at all. Been waiting 3 days for a reply to my questions

Missing Sync does not work well.
Pictures of contacts are partly corrupt.
TF3D starts new, if i add a new favorite with some contacts.
Then i must delete the picture from this contact and add a new one, then TF3d will work.
(OSX10.5, Missing Sync 4.03, MacBook)

Hi, everytime i sync with missing sync i double my contacts anyone knows why?
its not good because i have some contacts in triplicate.
Regards

First time, i sync the PDA with Missing Sync, in the options i switch on the button "MAC overwrites PDA". Then sync, then switch off the button and sync again. So it works at mine.

Thks a lot i will try it, i will post the resolt later. Thks

I am using Missing Sync WM 4.0.3 with Mac OS 10.5.4 and it is working fine but I have no picture attached to the contacts.
The first-time sync procedure I usually use is the following:
- launch iSync from the "Application" folder;
- reset the sync history in the iSync > Preferences menu;
- close iSync;
- launch Missing Sync WM;
- for each syncing plugin you need to use, select "Mac overrides Device", click "Debugging options" and then "Reset sync history";
- logout from your user session and login back again;
- connect your device as explained in the Missing Sync manual;
- enable detailed logging in Missing Sync preferences and display the log;
... then be very very careful ;-)
* click the "Sync" button at the top or at the bottom of the main Missing Sync window.
* some of the items selected for syncing will sync and some will not (look at the log during the syncing process). *Disable* the "Mac overrides Device" options for the successfully synced items. Repeat the two stared "*" steps until all the item are successfully synced...
- further synchronizations should run flawlessly.
Hope this helps... (be patient and good luck ;-)
[You may also want to sync a second Mac with your device but the procedure is a bit different and a bit more complex.]

mbp and missing sync works very well

correction !!!
i just tried, than i even bought syncmate, its far better, and nicer than pocketmac or missing sync ( wich i used for years, so i absolutely recommend syncmate now, wonderful !!

syncmate is great. It does what it is suppose to do (I've only tried contacts).
I've used only USB sync don't know if WIFI works.

Syncmate is also working for e, strangely enough only via the Wifi - Sync option, not via the USB cable (but i prefer the wireless link anyways).
You should be aware, that you have to install the syncmate - driver on your phone, or no connection will be possible

sync kaiser to thunderbird calender

I am using Fedora 9 and the lightning plugin for thunderbird. I wanted to know if someone was successful in syncing the kaiser (using bluetooth or usb) with the calender in thunderbird? if yes can you please tell me how to do it ?

Easy. Google for Birdiesync and use that. It works - have bene using it successfully for ages.

1) Its not for Linux
2) Its paid, and i know there are solutions available which are opensource/free

ScheduleWorld
I use ScheduleWorld. It's free, and there are plugins for Lightning and WM. Google scheduleworld and sign up for a free account. Install the SyncSW plugin in Thunderbird. Install the Funambol and the compression *.cab in WM. It syncs Calendar and Address Book with no issues for me.
Hope that helps,
-e

Just to add to eras2r's comment, as i was also going to suggest using the funambol tools as well, is that you don't have to use scheduleworld and put your data online. You can just run the funambol server locally, and use it as a focal point to sync TB and your device to.
As for a direct sync between TB and your PDA without the funambol server, i don't think there is anything else available yet for open-source/linux OSes.

Apologies to the OP - the result of skim-reading....

i tried schedule world but it doesnt find my kaiser....is there anyother way ?
my only requirement is to sync the calender items in thunderbird (using lightning) to my kaiser in a linux environment....if there is no option for thunderbird, i can also try sunbird for my calendering stuff

Scheduleworld is a service on the internet. You install SyncSW in thunderbird and configure it for your ScheduleWorld account. You then install Funambol + compression cabs on your kaiser and configure it for your ScheduleWorld account. Both thunderbird and kaiser sync to ScheduleWorld over the internet, not to each other directly. It's not a local sync. (Or you can run your own Funambol Server if you'd like). Hope that helps.

Alternatively dump TBird for Evolution and install "Synce" on your linux installation.
It allows you to sync contacts and calendar info using any PIM based software to your Win CE device.
PS: Google is surprisingly helpful with this....
Info for FinchSync, opensource and you should be able to get it to work with Synce on Linux

Windows?
I am running on Windows 7 and DESPISE microsoft outlook, is there a workaround? Scheduleworld is a fail, and I just wish this thing wasn't so old by I love Windows Mobile. Please help!

Activesync with Lotus Notes

I'm wondering how to active sync with lotus notes?
I'm intressted in getting my calendar into my diamond, and have the contacts on the computer incase of an accident.
Any good way of making this work?

Activesync won't even sync with windows mail, only with outlook. Even under Linux it was not possible to sync anything.
I know this is not a professional answer - but I think it's a no go...

Upgrade your Lotus Notes server to version 8.0.1 and then utilise Lotus Traveler (which is included with 8.0.1) to sync mail/calendar/contacts, etc, with your phone after installing the Windows mobile Traveler Client...

Not sure what server we have at work, I'm home right now. Will check it out monday. Thanks for the tip captainsensible.

I used mNotes by Commontime for years - it's pretty good software and has been around for ages.

Will it work with lotus notes v 6.5 ?
This is the version we have at work so I guess the traveler client is out of question.

Yes it works with all versions of Notes, they have a free trial too so you can try it out.

sorry, but this is incorrect!
I regularly sync my XDA Diamond with Kontact - the KDE PIM
distribution is OpenSuse 10.3, you need "opensync" and "synce"
the installation is quite a pain and it took me some time to get it right, but it works!
the good thing about opensync is that it is a universal sync tool, once you connect, you should be able to sync with any application a plugin exists for (be it evolution, mozilla, palm, other mobile phones, syncml, ...)

hi if you want remote sync (OTA) you should use Notes Traveler, if you want local sync - you can choose Easysync pro from IBM. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/easysyncpro/
