There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all i

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)

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.

ActiveSync hangs on "Looking for changes"

Hi,
I have MDA Compact III and ActiveSync with Office 2007 doesn't work with it although the same installation of ActiveSync on the same computer worked with Palm Treo 750 couple of weeks ago.
I can browse the device so the connection is definitely working. The problem is when syncing starts it just hangs on "Looking for changes".
I have taken the following steps but no luck so far:
- Deleted the device partnership on both ActiveSync and on the phone many times.
- Tried 3 different ROMs (1 factory Windows Mobile 5 and 2 Windows Mobile 6.1)
- Disabled Windows Firewall completely
- Uninstalled NOD32 Antivirus software
- Tried syncing Contacts only and Calendar only items
- Tried 3rd party PocketMirror syncing software
Has anyone else experience this problem?
Thanks!

Want to add I am using ActiveSync 4.5 and connecting directly to computer using USB without any hub.

I've had a similar problem, I can connect via activesync and explore, I can even sync IE favorites but anything outlook related falls flat on it's face
I keep getting the 85010014 error code which all threads suggest can only be cured by an outlook re-install, but I've done that three times including removing all security software, activesync, and outlook. I then re-installed outlook imported my backed up contacts, re-installed activesync and I'm still getting the same problem with the same error. So I've given up!!
Just a word of warning though, be careful if you start playing around cos if you delete the sync profile on activesync and don't do the same on the phone activesync can erase all your contacts and appointments when you next try and connect, even though it won't sync anything. It did this to my kaiser twice before I figured out what was causing it.
As a work around I've found you can E-mail all contacts and appointments from outlook as attachments and then save them to the phone, I've now got an email with all my contacts and appointments saved on my phone and have backed up using PIM Backup
Not much help I'm afraid but at least your not on your own.

I tried syncronising Artemis using a borrowed a laptop and it worked. So I reinstalled XP, Office and ActiveSync and now the phone syncs without a problem.

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.

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.....

[Q] "Unable to copy contacts from PIM"

Can't find any other threads on this, but when I attempt to sync my (stock 2.2 ROM) Android with HTC Sync 3.0.5481, I'm getting, "Can not sync contacts from PIM" messages.
Anyone any ideas? It's worked flawlessly for weeks/months.

Happend to me once with HTC sync. 3.0.5511, needed to just restart Outlook (2007).

also what OS are you using with what version of office?

Windows 7, with Office 2007.
Its been working with this config for the last few months no problems.

I was having this problem just now on an XP SP3 machine with HTC Sync V3.0.5511. (actually, I've been having the problem for a month or so now!). Froyo 2.2 ROM (Official HTC/Telstra release) on the phone. It was working at first for a few weeks then stopped working for contacts and appointments. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC software & drivers a couple of times without joy, and checked and rechecked Outlook 2010 settings and folder locations too (rebooting between each attempt).
What fixed it just now was: on the PC, clicking Start, then "Set Program Access and Defaults", selecting "Custom" then selecting "Outlook" in the "Choose a default email program" section. Restarted HTC Sync and plugged the phone in (with Outlook 2010 not running) and the error message is now gone. Checked my phone calendar for the appointments I'd added in Outlook today and confirmed they had synced to the phone correctly.
I hope this helps someone else. YMMV

Happened to have this issue too (I'm running a HD2 SD Desire HD build though). Searched and this thread came up. I also happen to be running Outlook 2007 & HTC Sync 3.0.5511 as well. Restarted Outlook 2007 & all is good again!

Unable to copy contacts from PIM
Thanks guys - after months of trying & talking to HTC (who were clueless as to how to help) I've finally got it sorted.
I'm running Win 7, Office 2007 with Sync V 3.0.551.
What fixed it for me was dweebken's advice: Manually set Outlook as the default email program. In Win 7 this means:
Click Start
Click Default Programs
Click "Set program access and computer defaults"
Click the Custom button & hit the arrows to expand the selection
Select Outlook as the default email program
Hit OK.
To be safe I rebooted after this, but I'm not sure if this will be absolutely required, and it's run fine since.

Awesome. Love it whenever problems get solved. It ain't funny not being able to sync one's contacts all of a sudden.... and especially when those contacts run into thousands.

Glad I found this thread. I'm having the same problem, but with the calendar. Worked fine for a month or so, then today, couldn't read the PIM. None of the solutions seem to work for me, though. Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2007, HTC Merge Android 2.2, build 2.01.573.3.
Any other suggestions?

Yes. I had more probs later on that no fiddling would solve, so I called HTC support. They went through all the things I'd already tried, then suggested a 'soft' reset of the phone. To them this meant shutting down the phone and removing the battery from the back. Leave it out of the phone for 10 mins at least (I left it for 30 for good measure!) Reboot the PC too. Then reinserted the battery and started the phone. Once everything settled down on the home screen I tried resynching again and got joy again.
As usual, YMMV

I have same problem, when I use HTC sync to sync my new HTC Desire Z, I receive the message "Unable to copy contact from PIM"!!!
I use Outlook 2007, and windows XP-SP3
Hope someone can fix to guide me to fix the problem !!

Try going into Internet Explorer. Tools | Options | Programs.
Set the "E-mail" to "Microsoft Office Outlook".
This worked for me. (XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, HTC Sync 3.0.5579, HTC Sensation).
Not all items are appearing, but we run Novell GroupWise behind Outlook (something that isn't the cleanest).
Cheers,
Mark

In my case when I was on stock ROM the HTCsync just stopped working w/o any reasons with the same message. I could not get it sorted out, and finally I moved to MyPhoneExplorer as a backup tool. Be careful however and do not restore google contacts from tool since it messed up my phone database so badly that I started to have FC (due to NPEs on sqlite level) and had to factory reset... in fact I just jumped into custom ROMs world because of it.

Great!! Setting the OUtlook as default option looks like its working.. Its started syncing and didnt give the error yet. I have a large number of contacts and appointments.. but if its gotten so far..looks like it'll go all the way..
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately with Windows 7 and outlook 2010 there is an issue where it will not let you set outlook as default. It says it will then when you go back in it is back to the default settings. Looked all over to a solution and the only thing that made sense was a conflict between 32 bit and 64 bit architecture.

thanks Jsmac
work perfectly, no error anymore perfect sync all music and pics
