WM6 Syncing Conundrum... Please help / advise!

So... I probably should have researched this a little more before I decided to take the WM6 plunge... but... I didn't...
So haha - here's my situation. I have two computers I can use to sync this too. I use my mac regularly with missing sync. Well, i USED it regularly... But... Missing Sync doesn't work with WM6.
Okay so then there's the work PC. I got the newest version of active sync. However, Active Sync 4.5 doesn't work with Outlook 2000 - crap.
Am I totally screwed or is there a workaround? Can I set Activesync to sync with windows xp address book instead of outlook? Please help!

Sync problem
If you have the Excalibur, it should have come with a copy of outlook 2002... why not try and install that and see if that resolves your problem.

I have the T-mobile Dash, not the excalibur... While i'm fine with doing anything on the mac, i'd rather not mess too badly with the default apps on the windows PC.

I never had problems with synchronising with Exchange 03, but the freezing startscreen problem is happend now for ~4th time...
Now i changed back to v3.7 and wait until Tom releases v4.1... hope this freezing problem will dissapear. But i know, Tom will fix it for sure
Why did you change back to WM5? There are other releases of WM6 from Tom which are also very good, but without TouchFlo...

I just upgraded my MDA-Vario 2 to WM6, it used to sync fine to SBS2003, but now email OK, contacts OK, but NO Calendar entries - I deleted the partnership and reinstated it, there was an 'attempt' to sync the calendar, but no entries appear on the MDA. Any ideas anyone?

Problem with Vista and WM 6.1 Syncing?

Is there a deep-seated problem with syncing WM 6.1 with Vista's WMDC?
I have tried just about every WM 6.1 ROM produced by the excellent chefs here. On every occasion, my Hermes syncs perfectly on the first setup. However, every time I reconnect, the sync fails, with a message that there is a problem with the desktop PC. Deleting the partnership solves it for one sync, then it fails on subsequent ones. So, every time, I re-flash back to my trusty WM6 ROM and, voila, syncing returns to normal.
This occurs with every 6.1 ROM I have tried. It happens with my desktop and my laptop, both running Vista. I have checked that I have the latest version of WMDC. I have ensured that I have unticked "Enable advanced network functionality' in the USB-to-PC option.
I need to sync my Hermes every day, so this problem stops me using any of the 6.1 ROMs. Am I the only one with this problem? Has anyone had the problem and solved it?

Yes, both desktop and laptop are using that version of WMDC.

I have that constantly as well with every 6.1 ROM i've used.
My "workaround" is to turn off the calendar sync, allow the other items to sync, then turn calendar sync back on and re-sync
Then that PC will sync properly until I try to sync to another PC and I have to turn off calendar, etc... again

I've using WM 6.1 ROMs with Vista for some time now and have never had that problem. The only difference is that I leave the enable advance network..blah..blah checked. Try it.

Thanks very much for your response. I am heartened to hear that someone else is experiencing the same problem, and it is not just me.
I will try the calendar sync work-around.
Blackout128. Thanks for your reponse as well, but I have tried it with that box ticked and unticked. From Radimus above, it could be a calendar issue. Do you sync with Outlook Calendar?

Yes, I sync the calendar. I guess it was kind of stupid to suggest something that simple. I hope the calendar issues works, who knows with vista, I may have that problem tomorrow.

My final question, and this is the killer question - Are you using Outlook 2003 or 2007?
I use Outlook 2007, and my suspicion is that there could be a problem syncing with that version. Those who use Outlook 2003 might not experience it.
If you say you use Outlook 2003, great, perhaps I have got to the root of the problem.
If you say you use Outlook 2007, I will pack my bags and go!

I have no problem slashing and syncing using Outlook 2002.

Having read Radimus' workaround, I re-installed a WM 6.1 ROM. Once again, I experienced sync problems. But, as soon as I removed Calendar from the sync items, everything worked well.
Is there anyone out there able to sync calendar items between a WM 6.1 Hermes and an Outlook 2007 PC?

I am running Outlook 2007. Here is my Outlook Info.

Thank you Blackout128. My version of Outlook is the same as yours. I am stumped.

WM 6.1 - Can It Sync with Two PCs?

I have had a problem with every WM 6.1 ROM I have tried. After flashing, I set up a partnership with my Vista laptop, through WMDC, with no problems. However, when I then set up a second partnership with my Vista desktop pc, syncing with my laptop then fails every time. When I go back to my desktop, that fails as well, both with a message that "there is a problem with the PC".
I thought at first that this was an Outlook problem, and I had started a thread for that. Since then, I have flashed another 6.1 ROM, syncing only with my laptop. I had no problems, day after day. However, as soon as I added a second partnership with my desktop, I experienced the same sync problems.
When I revert to a WM 6 ROM, I have no problems with syncing to both computers.
Is there anyone out there who syncs a WM 6.1 ROM with two Vista computers?

6.1 has this problem. I've tried DOZENS of ROMs with the same results.
The only workaround I've found is to disable the calendar sync, sync, then enable calendar, and sync

Thanks for confirming the problem, Radimus. I wondered whether it was just me!
I don't know if the problem lies with WM 6.1 or Vista's WMDC (which only claims compatibility with WM 6.0).
I will try your workaround.

it is 6.1
I've tested with every combination of WMDC and 4.5, on vista and XP
Hopefully WM7 will fix this issue

Funambol
You could try Funambol or Schduleworld to sync that information over the air... and then sync Outlook (or even Thunderbid) with the Funambol service. you can sync as many computers and devices as you want. I haven't used activesync in a very long time thanks to this solution.
Plus it's free.
Good luck...

I've got a Vista Ultimate pc with Outlook 2007 and an XP pc with Outlook 2003.
I never can sync both calendars with my WM6 rom. So its not WM6.1 only thats the problem.
I think its caused by WMDC personally..

I analysed the Problem (WM6.1, 2 PC's Vista, Office 2007):
If you sync new empty Outlook-Po-Poxes then you'll have ounly Problems with Serialdatas. Only then, if you edit one of the dates on the second PC (addet on first PC, then sync on second PC). Sometimes also by fullday-more-day-dates.
What you can do: Make empty the second Po-Box. Then sync with First PC, then sync with second PC. After then, edit the serialdatas only on PC one. If you have Sync-Errors by more-day-dates, add or edit these only on PC one.
The point is, that you can edit these dates only on the PC where you have add them. If you edit them every time on the same PC, you'll never have problems. Insted Edit them, you can they also delete and add new. That's waht I do this moment.
I Hope, that Microsoft will make an update.....

Active sync not syncing calendar

Hi Folks,
I've flashed my Orbit with a couple of new ROMs recently (my first time doing it, seems to have gone smoothly).
I've just noticed that Active Sync doesn't seem to be taking my calendar items from my PC to my device. Everything else goes across OK, and AS says that it's synced the calendar, but nothing appears.
Any ideas??
Matt

I think I've figured this out now. It looks like WM6.1 isn't compatible with my work laptop, which runs XP & Office 2000.
Don't think Office 2000 is supported?

The combination WM 6.1 and ActiveSync 4.5 sucks... especially if you use two PC's. There's a topic about that. Microsoft says they support WM6 but no word about WM6.1, so I think we can wait forever for a solution.
My solution is to go back to WM6
