I noticed online that there are several programs that work like Activesync, and allow you to do all the functions you can do on a PC with a Mac. Anyone out there using one of these programs? If so, which one would you recommend? Are you able to Flash ROMs with the Mac software?
Thanks,

Dear all,
can anyone of you give me a hint how I could access at least the storage card on my Herald WM6. I would't even need to sync, accessing the files would be just fine. Untill now I've played with WiMo (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimo/), multisync, opensync, synce.
I've not tried bluetooth as I don't have bluetooth on the PC.
What do I miss?. Wht have I overlooked? Do I miss a driver, protocol or module?
Thanks for your help
wm6 was designed with microsoft's vista in mind. So the first problem is that your wm6 device will require the latest activesync version on the computer. Most linux emulators don't work with this version and can't emulate the latest active sync.
The solution is to either wait for new emulators, revert to windows xp instead of linux, or downgrade the wm6 to wm5 wich is more compatible with these emulators.
Search for wm5storage on google.
It allows to export your pocketpc as usb mass storage so you can mount it on any OS.
Have fun.
Yeah, thanks for this.
This is a real recommendation and all that I wanted to have for now. I can mount the storage card with read/write access and I can manage my files.
Thx
Awesome... I'm glad you guys posted this, bc this had come to mind the other day and I was wondering if it was possible.
I recently switched to a Mac and was wondering if anyone knew the alternative to Microsoft ActiveSync on Mac OS X. I did a brief search and came up with information about Microsoft Entourage [which I do have on my Mac] and was just wondering if anyone has experience with this? If I plug my Tilt right into my Mac, will Entourage pick it up or what?
Thanks in advance, Walt.
For Mac OS X, you need a (non-free) software called Missing Sync.
Or you can use Parallels to run Windows XP and ActiveSync from within Mac OS.

I have an iMac running Leopard and I run Missing Sync. Works great for me. Syncs Address Book, iCal , iPhoto , Tasks, Phone Log, even iTunes (non DRM ) music.
I also have my Tilt sync'd to the Windows XP side of my Mac because the one thing you cannot do through Missing Sync is flash new roms or radios. That can only be done through Windows. But I use Bootcamp , I used to use Parallels but their support for their product is non existent.
I needed help with a setting and emailed them and Nova Development no less than 15 times, never even an acknowledgement. Bootcamp is free runs smoother and has better graphics compatibility.
You will need a Windows machine for updates.
syncmate
syncmate is free and works great for me. Im running leopard on a powerbook.

same here, no complaints at all ..
i recommend u have dual system - get windows xp as a virtual machine it will be cost effective and more reliable especially if you are a flashing man like the rest of us
best regards

On my MacBook Pro, Missing Sync.
One note on uploading ROM's. I was able at one time to do it using Parallels but recently one of Dutty's ROMs locked my Tilt in the Tri color screen. It wasn't the ROM, something had change either in a new version of Parallels or OSX. Moving over to an old Toshiba fixed the phone. I've since tested it again and it still fails on Parallels. Just a word to the wise.

Same thing happened with me under parallels. I can still flash radio firmware and splashes using Parallels, but when flashing the entire rom, its like the connection gets interrupted or timed out. I was previously able to do it before so Im positive its either a parallels or OSX issue when it updated.
Dual boot and use WinDoZe to handle the rom flashing, but honestly Missing sync works great for the contacts / address book info / ect.
=D
I tried to reply to your post maybe 3 different times last night through opera on my device but failed...
anyway i'm on the same boat. Have misssing sync but dont use it much.. my main mode of connectivity is on windows running through vmware's fusion... no problems what so ever with flashing roms.. i used to use parallel's but tried out fusion and liked it a lot better! highly recommend it.

I tried quickly to get my Wizard syncing with a VirtualBox VM with no success. Does someone use VirtualBox to connect to a WM device?
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".

missingsync
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

the makeup? or do you mean Mac computer?
Hello everyone: I've just loaded the AT&T 6.1 Rom by NATF. It doesn't have the Remote Desktop software as the Dutty's Hybrid did. But I never got it to work anyways, because I didn't know how. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a cab for this software?
2. In order to make it work, do I need to have a server... or can I connect to my two home computers? I do have a "home network" where I can see the computers via the 2Wire router that I have.
If I can do this without downloading some web-reliant software (Go To My PC, Log Me In, etc.), that would be good.
Thanks for your help.
never been able to get this to work...
although i have used Remote desktop a few times i struggle to get this one working.. quite odd
Vista or XP
I no longer use XP. So no help from me there. Remote desktop works great on my vista from my htc tilt aka kaiser. You do have to forward port 3389 for the computer you want to access (unless your doing it locally, then you can access any computer) Also select under remote settings "Allow connections from from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" That should do the trick. If you google it you'll find it here.
And here is the latest cab file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2437139&postcount=5
i use rdesktop all the time on my kaiser, over a vpn connection to a server to support people on the move. Works a treat. Although im always a VNC fan
yeah realvnc + realvnc for windows mobile works the best!
The screen of embedded remote desktop client is too small,
Could any one tell me any other rmc suit for WVGA?
Thank you so much
Depending on what you want to do remotely, there are some alternatives. You can use Sallingclicker, to control specific programs like mediaplayers on your desktop, it only works over wifi. Puppetmaster allows you to use a mousepointer too, but I don't know if it works on TD2. Others are RemotelyAnywhere, Promixis, PPCTablet, you'd have to try them out. Or download and install a different cab from the windows rdp program and see if that makes a difference.
Hi Deechte,
I wanna to remote the desktop of my home PC which is running Windows XP,
Could you recommend some verison of windows rdp program for me? especially for WVGA
As I used logmein on my Diamond 2... It didn't work...
After I connected to my PC and typed the login id and passwords via logmein, it finally cannot load the the desktop of my home PC....
I am still finding what is the problem with my D2...
Thanks for your reply
I guess the mobile internet browser on your D2 cannot load the LogMeIn plugin or activeX element that's needed. You could try the Finster rdp client, but I don't know if it's any better than the one that comes with the D2, nor do I know if it works at all...
