I sync to Mac and so use Missing Sync from Markspace.
This worked well with WM5 Roms indeed, IMO more user friendly than ActiveSync.
The changes made in WM6 means that device will only look for PC with ActiveSync on (for security issues?) and so Missing Sync won't connect.
Markspace are dealing with this issue and in time will re-write to solve this issue however, it leaves me with a serious problem at the moment and possibly for some consderable time!
Has anyone managed to work around this issue, if so could you let me know.
Thanks

I can think of only one way, but you need Entourage on your Mac.
(1) Set up an account with 4smartphone.net
(2) Have Entourage sync with 4smartphone
(3) Have your Hermes sync with 4smartphone.
This works like magic. LIKE MAGIC I tell you. You change something on your Hermes, and - look ma, no hands - you go back to your Mac and the info has changed there too. And the other way around! and it is all pushed! GEEK HEAVEN.
They offer a trial period ... might just be long enough for MarkSpace to come up with a solution.
If you have Office for Mac installed, but do not use Entourage but instead use iCal, then you need to set up Entourage to sync with the iCal database. The option is somewhere in Entourage.
That's well and good, but only a partial solution. Entourage only syncs Email, Contacts and Calendar with an Exchange server. You'll still be missing out on Tasks, Notes, iPhoto and iTunes which Missing Sync takes care of nicely. I do hope MarkSpace works it out soon, but that's not likely to happen until there are some shipping WM6 devices available in the States...
I second that...
Man I really really need Missing Sync again!!!! I'm sure we're not the only ones
Is there a way to hack and reverse that security feature?
Cooks and cooders we can put a bounty on this!
Thanks for your advice nispen. I Have sorted out 4smartphone account as i run Entourage. I have had partial success in that have been able to sync to an exchange server but must have made a mistake somewhere as contacts in entourage are not being updated. This said, I have been able to get all addresses in one place - on phone and in Mac Address book so at least I'm halfway there!
Like spidy.web says, as the problem ultimatly likes within WM6 being secure - someone out there might be able to solve this problem - a reg edit or something?

I have upgraded to oficial WM6 and I use Windows Vista 64, with the latest Windows Mobile Device Center.
From time to time I keep receiving this error:
"There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. Please perform a manual sync."
If I accept I lose the changes made in my P3300.
What should I do ??
I am afraid of syncronizing and loosing every change again
Thanks for any help

I have also updated my Artemis to official WM6, and syncronized with Vista without any problem. But I use Vista 32; maybe Vista 64 with WMDC would be the guilty. Try change to 32b version.

PS.: até aqui nos encontramos!!!
Pois é
Pois é... até aqui.
I cannot believe we all use underestimated 32 bit software in 64bits systems because the softwarehouses doesn´t care to create 64bit programs...
Well, I am still trying
Thanks anyway

They are lazy
They are lazy or think consumers arent interested in 64b.Who to blame?
Before a total flame war agains MS is started, I'd like to say that I had the same thing with the 32 bit version and the latest WMDC.
I think you can go ahead safely (I did, and I didn't lose any files/information). The message only says that it has to do a full synchronisation. Nothing is really deleted, it's just checked extra or overwritten from your computer. If you have a new B&B installation this shouldn't be a problem since you don't have anything on the P3300
How the error appears
"There has been a change made on your server that requires you to resyncronize all items on your device. All changes made since your last successful sync will be lost. Do you wish to continue" Yes or No
I don´t know what to do !
No problem
I've had this same message a lot of times..... well, exactlly every time I made a full restore from a backup after fooling arround with my p3300. And the point is... if you've made changes IN THE P3300, you'll loose them, as it's going to make a complete 'download' of messages and contacts from the server (Exchange in my case)... so you're safe to accept it (if your exchange messages and contacts are ok, of course)
Salut
Bak
It happens frequently
I have just accepted the error, and it is fully syncronizing.
But it happened before, and it keeps happening randomly, not if I do something big in my p3300 like a backup restore...
I would just like to say we have been investigating this problem with Microsoft for the last 4 months. Still have not found the cause of the problem. It happens with all of the Windows Mobile Devices independent of WM 5.0, WM 6.0 or WM 6.1. Also it happens with all brands Samsung,HTC, and HP I have seen it happen.
It is to do with something with the settings of the Exchange server but we can not be sure what it is. Our best bet is the Antivirus program causing the mishap on the synchronisation but I have to say we do not have any actual proof
No Exchange Server here...
Well I'm not using Exchange Server. I get this every so often too. I just use a USB.
I'm not exactly sure about this...but I don't remeber that I got this on XP.
I thought it was some software that I installed.

I have the same problem with XP SP2 and Active Sync 4.5 and my ATT Tilt running WM 6.1
This really stinks since it does erase all changes made to the phone contacts!!
Who has a solution??
i had the problem with my treo 750v and it keeps on with my new samsung i780.
it is very annoying. there is no data lost because simply all items are being synchronized again but it takes so long!
i have more than 1000 contacts and many many calendar items.
i still cant imagíne how that problem comes.
in another board someone told that this error occurs when the synchronisation is being interrupted.
i am gonna observe that. maybe that is the problem.
Problem Solved
The solution is at this thread on Microsoft... http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/.../thread/014c27ad-b7ec-43e8-b39f-908e0a88f25c/
However, some people are still experiencing the same problem after following the instructions... and you will! The first time you sync your device AFTER you have received the error message about the re-sync requirement and AFTER you have changed your settings, you will STILL get the same error message. Once the device has been synced (and, yes, after you've lost all your current information that you struggled to enter into your device while driving 60MPH on the highway while talking on the phone)... the error message will no longer appear the NEXT time you sync.
This is the case with my HTC Touch Diamond anyway.
Good luck.
which of the tips provides a solution. i read the linked topic but didnt find any
See here for a possible solution:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/d709054c-24a0-4b47-a29d-043aef6b14f3
i finally found out that its definitely the disconnection during syncing.
if you avoid that, the error doesnt occur.
and for resyncing all items you better deactivate touch flo. then it takes only a few minutes.
wm6 activesync, gmail push email, and error (support code) 0x86000106
Same thing is happening with my CDMA Sprint/HTC Touch Pro. I enabled IMAP on my gmail and set up push email on my phone for my gmail account using activesync. After a while, my phone activesync kept popping up a message saying, "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. All changes made since your last successful sync will be lost. Do you wish to continue?" Under 'Attention Required' it gives Support Code: 0x86000106. I allowed it to re-sync, but the message kept popping up. So as a last resort, I did a hard reset on my phone, but hard reset did not solve it.
After a while, I figured out that the problem was that I had chosen the "Sent Items" folder on my wm6.1 Pocket Outlook to be synced with my Gmail, but the problem is that no such folder exists in Gmail. Actually, Gmail does have such a folder/label, but Gmail calls it "Sent Mail," and this name difference misses up the wm6.1's activesyncing gmail accounts to give the above-mentioned error code. I also noticed that a new label, unbeknown to me, had been created on my Gmail called "Sent Items," so this may have been the reason that the activesync stopped synchronizing Pocket Outlook's Sent Items folder with the Gmail's Sent Mail folder/label.
I deleted the Sent Item label on my Gmail, and I think that I may now be able to start syncing Pocket Outlook's Sent Items folder with Gmail's Sent Mail folder/label, but I am not brave enough to take the risk of going through all that trouble if the error message shows up again. So I am now only syncing the Inbox folders on my Pocket Outlook and Gmail. What I don't understand is how did the Sent Items label get created on my Gmail account to cause all that miss? I did not create it, so my guess is after a while wm6.1's active sync may trick Gmail into making that label and cause all of those problems.
Many people have had this problem and Sprint, HTC, and Microsoft have no idea what is causing it, but I'm pretty sure I have figured it out. What a shame because so many people have reported this problem on various forums and reported not help or resolution for it although some got the error while trying to sync their phone with their computer's activesync 4.5 whereas my problem was using wm6.1's activesync with my gmail account directly to get push email--a service that Gmail began for Windows Mobile users since around Q4 of last year.
If anyone has a solution for this name difference on the two folders in Pocket Outlook and Gmail, please let me know. I hope the info I have provided will help.
hi everyone,
i've got this error now which says "Cannot synchronize with Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected
Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile."
please please please how do i solve this i've not been able to sink my contacts, calender and notes back in and its going to destroy my week if i dont resolve this problem.
thanks so much in advance,
jason
Well, sync errors like this typically occur at one of 2 places. EITHER the connection between Outlook/Exchange and ActiveSync OR between ActiveSync and your Device.
What have your tried so far? Simply removing the device from ActiveSync on the main computer solves this error most often. The other deeper, yet common fix is to uninstall BOTH Outlook and ActiveSync, then reboot and re-install and recreate the device profile with ActiveSync.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply Nate,
I've tried removing the partnership from activesync and deleting active sync from my computer and restarting. But that does not cure the problem
If i completly uninstall office and activesync. Will my contacts be there when i reinstall? Also, this is rather stupid, but if i uninstall office, my documents will still be on my harddrive right?
thanks in advance.
Jason
i'm willing to uninstall office, please can someone tell me how to backup my contacts, calender and notes.
or will this remain on my computer and once i reinstall office it will go back in.
stab in the dark .....
have you actually fully reset your device and also turned your pc off and restarted it fully....???
i have similar problems using outlook, but always find a reset of either of both devices cures the problem.....
yes i have done that.
its now a outlook problem isnt it?
how do i delete profiles from outlook 2007? maybe that will solve it.
please anyone, feel free to give me ideas on how to solve this
Correct, it seems like an Outlook issue now. My experience with Outlook 2007 is limited so I'm not sure if it follows the rules of previous versions, but in the past ALL of your outlook information is stored in 1 file with a file extension of .pst. Run a search on your PC for a *.pst file and tell us what it finds. Assuming that you find one then O2007 follows the same conventions as earlier versions. If you find multiple, then save them all. Bear in mind that the actual email account settings are kept separately from the .pst file and you will have to either export/import them or just recreate the email account after reinstall.
Uninstall Outlook/Office and then REBOOT! Then Re-install.Go into outlook 1st and go through the initial email account setup, then run a search for .pst files again and drop the most current down over top of the one newly created with the re-install.
Let us know how it goes and remember to go slow.
If you google for the error code 8503001f and also the other one you posted about, 85010014, they both point to errors within microsoft outlook itself - one possibility is due to upgrading outlook and having/creating multiple profiles.
There are too many links to post but I saw a few which appeared to include good solutions - some of these are direct from the microsoft support site.
Don't know if this helps but I found thousands of hits with what appears to be your problem.

For Profiles in Outlook 2007:
Control Panel > Mail > Profiles
BACK UP YOUR MAIL!!
File > Import / Export.
Export as file
PST
Save it.
Now delete all profiles in Control Panel > Mail > Profiles
Then just create one profile and call it outlook
Then restore your data.
thanks so much for the reply guys.
i dont know what the hell is up with outlook but after uninstalling active sync and removing my email account from outlook it syncing again.
very fustrating and thanks you guys again for your input. its great to know people like you guys are here to help.
cheers again

p.s. i think its because i upgraded from office 2003 to 2007 that cause so many conflicts.
Hi there, i have the MDA 3 (tynth II) and i would like to sync my .ics to my Calendar.
I am using Sunbird on my pc to open the .ics whitch i have stored on my ftp server. These files can be writen via the network modus on sunbird and ical. Now i would like to open these .ics files with my MDA is this possible?
* bump bump *
I'll bump this again.
A couple apps I found with this in mind, but some problems with them:
<a href='http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263051&highlight=ical'>wm5icalimport</a> -- Some folks said this doesn't work with WM6/6.1, which is what I'm running. Boo.
<a href='http://freewareppc.com/communication/kcal.shtml'>Kyuran's KCal</a> -- Pretty old, might not support WM6/6.1; worst of all, the only download I can find is a Windows executable.. I don't have Windows. Someone want to extract the device CAB out of this for me?
My primary desire is for one-way (from CalDAV/.ICS/iCal to the device), but two way would obviously be nice as well.
Is there anyone with the expertise to pull this off? I might be able to come up with a small donation, if it results in an open-source tool that works well enough.
Is there something new?
I often became .ics per mail and want to import them directly on my TP2. A this time, it is not possible.
On my old Loox720 it works (only the time was 1 hour wrong).
Is there actually a new solution?
THX_cv
I haven't seen anything new. I look around every now and then, but it seems like there's not much interest in this, and I don't have the WiMo programming experience to pull it off. iCal turns out to be pretty tricky stuff, when dealing with things like recurring events.
i have the problem of not being able to get an .ics calendar on the phone not directly nor by outlook can anybody please tell me how i can import a calendar on winmo 6.5?
My school's calender is in ICS, I would love a way to subscribe to it, but have not come up with anything.
The workaround I use is manual. I subscribe to it in Outlook 2007. Manually copy the next few weeks into my exchange calender in Outlook, and my phone gets the updates wirelessly from its sync to exchange.
I was thinking about using google calender, as it merges the ical into its own google calender that can sync over exchange. Of course, this would involve syncing to Google's exchange server, and ditching the one I currently use. The issue is, I don't think Google supports ical updates like Outlook does. Google seems to just do a one time merge, so your out of luck if the calender gets new entries. There may be fixes out there since Gcal is so popular though.
Anyone got a CAB file for ActiveSync? or could someone create one for me please? I have installed Farias/DrP's ROM, their ActiveSync install won't sync up with my server, I have installed other WM6.1 ROMS which all work ok, I've tried a different Radio ROM just in case but it still doesnt seem to want to work. I like the ROM and would rather just replace the dodgy app if possible.
would suggest re-installing activesync on computer than stuffing around with your hermes. I've got Dr p/Faria's rom running and have no sync problems. As a point I generally try active sync after a flash but if it doesnt work re-install and delete all paired files. This wont get rid of your contacts because they're stored in outlook. Just remember NOT to replace all items on the computer when prompted as THIS MAY DELETE ALL CONTACTS. As I've said I've had no trouble syncing however. I've found that leaving the hermes on too long and not doing anything may corrupt the os resulting in me having to hard reset or reflash. Be warned.... Hope this helps..
I'm having somewhat of the same problem but my active sync sync's but when I look in my out box my mail is still there so every time I sync it continues to resend the mail that's in the outbox. So what I've been doing is deleting it out of the outbox once it's done syncing. Also I've noticed that when active sync is running it goes to a all white screen with a black outline around the screen never seen that before I’m use to seeing the green circular motion movement. "(I use ActiveSync to use the over the air PUSH capability from my corporate server )" Me too.
OK maybe I wasn't clear enough.... ActiveSync works if you have a cable plugged in e.g. you can set up a pairing with your PC and the Device over a wire, I use ActiveSync to use the over the air PUSH capability from my corporate server thus the cable is surplus to requirements unless I need to charge the device. There is another person in the Faria/DrP thread with the same problem.
Mods please delete, server probs at work, don't need this any more....
Tony, talk to your IT department, sounds like a server problem
It was, this is why I asked the thread to be deleted..

I too could use a cab installation of activesync. does that even exist out there or is it something that is only ever cooked directly into the ROM? I love my current rom except for the ASync errors. Anyone with a cab, please speak up now...
No Activesync
I too am having problems connecting my phone to WMDC on a recently purchased imate 8502, I upgraded the rom to WM6.1 and the phone is no longer recognised by pc at all. Having looked through the programs on the phone and browsed the directories on the device, I cannot find activesync on the phone at all! The only hint is an empty folder, but there is no executable for activesync anywhere, which would probably explain why so many ppl can't get thier 8502's to connect to thier pc's after upgrading!
We need an activesync.cab to install!
The question on my mind is, will Windows Phone 7 Sync with Outlook that is not connected via Exchange?
I don't care about the emails but Contacts, Appointments & Tasks are important.
I hear about the Outlook connector but it seems to me that my PIM data will be moved over to LIVE account and then get synced.
I have a personal and a business domain that are hosted somewhere and I use outlook to get all my emails. I don't want to sync/copy my personal & business contacts on windows live mail. I have been waiting for WP7 to come out in lieu of getting a new mobile and this is not encouraging.
I assume Zune software will be upgraded to do most of the job.
Have I been reading wrong articles? Please guide me and correct me.
from what i read contacts/appointments will only be through activesync. i don't believe tasks are working as of yet.
how are you connecting outlook to your personal and business domains? to get anything more than email alone (pop/imap), you would have to have some protocol (e.g. exchange) in place to allow the rest to flow through.
Thanks
I am using POP3 at the moment and I don't believe the hosting provider gives me IMAP but I can live with it.
So ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center will still work to sync? I heard any talking to the device will only be done via Zune Software!
i thought sop too.. that zune software will be doing the sync insted of the active sync or windows device manager...
as MS will have some provision to sync with outlook or express...
i am waiting for the devices to be out in the market..
dell and HTC HDD is the one i am looking for...
I posted a question in MSDN forums and I am not getting clears answers there.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...s/thread/fb28aeec-7dbb-4c92-890a-a7763ae82b60
The Windows Phone Radio podcast has answered this question and they say that there is full Outlook integration, and that's aside from the already robust Exchange ActiveSync capabilities.
Thank you. That is a sigh of relief. I am going to get one now as soon as possible.
Spoke too soon. Other posts clarify that it will not be supported.
I cannot believe that WP7 does not sync with outlook. This is a dealbreaker for me, I have to be able to sync my work laptops outlook calendar and contacts with my phone!!
I was just about to buy one, looks like I`ll be forced to buy android.
Bummer.
WP7 will sync with outlook but not OFFLINE outlook i.e. Outlook not connected to Exchange or Cloud. So if you want to move your contacts and all apointments from PST file to WP7, you have to sync them to the cloud first.
I was hunting around last night looking for a solution to this, and the only software I can find which will perform a periodic sync of my work outlook calendar up into the cloud is google calendar sync - the irony that I`m forced to use google to solve this problem is not lost on me!!
I know there is a microsoft supplied outlook addin for hotmail - but its not much good for this problem - you have to MANUALLY drag appointments from outlook calendar to get them up into the cloud.
I would be interested to hear how others are going to address this problem - are there other solutions out there??
Doesn't look to me that there is a solution to this sort of wait for someone to write a program to do so or have MS release an update to Zune to do so.

I hear you, and Im not super keen on the concept either.
The only smartphone that nativley supports local outlook sync is iphone.
Well then that sux. I am all for WP7 par this. Any one has any idea about the REAL technical reasons behind this?
This doesn't sound encouraging.
I too have a similar issue. My company doesn't allow connecting to the Exchange server from personal phones and local Outlook sync was the only way for me to keep track of the meetings / tasks (also contacts) through my personal phone (Fuze).

There is no specific technical barrier that stops this. Its a conscious design decision to leave it out.
And theres no guarantee that MS` new closed approach to WP7 will mean that 3rd parties are allowed to write a local sync solution, either. Time will tell on that one.
The cloud is the future, aparrently, like it or not.
I am also concerned about my Outlook data. having my data in the Cloud bothers me too, I want the data with me not online. It doesn't matter how careful I am with data, anthing that is not under my direct control is at risk.
For example I have an email address shared only with friends which was all fine until one of my friend fell foul of a social network scam, not my email address is out in the wild and I'm recieving spam. i may be tech savvy, but some people should be allowed near a PC or phone. I don't want to put personal data in the Cloud only to have someone hack MS and gain access. Can you image a list of peoples diary saying where they are and when they are not at home, please come and rob me.

Take a pragmatic look at what data about you is out there on the internet and make a considered, risk based approach. If after that you still don`t like contacts and calendar events in the cloud, WP7 is not for you.

Very little is out there about me that I don't want out there. There's a difference between what is out there and what PERSONAL information I have in Outlook, which includes my diary, past and present, things I need to do, notes I make, etc.
I plan to look at WP7 once the devices are out and find out how things work myself before making a judgement either way. At the moment it's all speculation because very few people have their hands on one.
