I always get this while syncing:
Synchronization could not be completed because one of the objects is in use. I reboot the machine and PPC and still the same. This started since I installed schaps 4.0. now I installed 4.01 and I get this from the beginning again.
did you try deleting your old partnerships on your phone and computer?
That's what I always do.
ive read that wm5newmenu can interfere with activesync. on a side note for some reason when i flashed itsright's super storage rom i couldn't sync either not that his roms arent great but i hope this helps

Been running my MDA Compact III for just under a week now. Everything was going fine, tom tom working etc. Yesterday I installed SPB Pocket Plus , now I can't connect via activsync and can't delete any files (from phone or memory card), get the error message....
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete 'filenamehere': Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not currently in use.
What have I done? I've tried a soft reset, that didn't work. I've took the memory card out and can delete files when I put it in a card reader. I'm hoping if changed a setting somewhere but I can't for the life of me work out what I've done.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
I've never had problems after SPB Pocket Plus was installed. Currently I don't have it installed on my device since I use it solely just for navigation thus I cannot find a more concrete solution but to try uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus and see if your problem is solved.
Thanks for your reply, couldn't uninstall anything so had to go down the hard reset route. Wasn't too bad though, I got back up and running in about an hour will all my programmes installed and working again.
Still don't know what happened though.

activesync problems
iam also facing the same problem. is there any alternative solution for this problem other than hard reset.
thanx
It may have nothing to do with Pocket Plus but rather the mysterious problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I had the same message and couldn't delete the erroneous files. My solution was also to hard reset.
My view
Oh i had the same problem,these files become stacked and are due to long paths,use the tool available at pathtoodeep.com ,it is a tool which deletes and also searches such undeleteable files and also assists in installation and sharing of long pathed files
how do I upgrade? and will I lose functionality with missing sync? would there be another way to connect to the laptop usint something else if missing sync isn't compatible yet, or should I just wait?
You lose missing sync It doesn't work with WM6 unfortunatly. There is no other way to connect, unless you (like me) have an Intel Mac and can use Parallels or Bootcamp
A solution for WM6 and MAC
I have been a PDA and Markspace user for many years and always have the same problem when upgrading form 2003 to WM5 to WM6. Markspace tries to keep up but there seems to always be a delay.
FINALLY I have stumbled across a solution that works really well to sync both iCal and Address Book.
Here is the link.

Give it a bash and see what you think.
To transfer files use BLUETOOTH EXPLORER.

You lose compatibility with MissingSync, which is stupid, since the phone uses the same protocol. For whatever reason, the phone detects MissingSync and refuses to continue.
I gave up on MissingSync a few months ago. It was just too buggy -- sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Luckily I use my phone with an Exchange server, so 99% of my data is synced over the air with the server (man, that's nice after ROM updates). For moving over files, I just use bluetooth --- as far as installing applications, I ended up moving almost all of the CAB files over to the SD card since I ended up reinstalling things 2-3 times a week due to new ROM's.
ActiveSync just works; it's really a shame that M$ won't build a Mac ActiveSync client that interfaces properly with iSync and Entourage. Hell, it'd be nice if they'd give all of the specs to Mark/Space so they can build a sync client that's actually as reliable as ActiveSync. It really seems like Microsoft doesn't realize that they could make tons of money if they'd throw more support at Macs -- they make most of their money on Office and other programs, not the operating systems. Heck, if they made a Linux version of Office, they'd sell tons of copies -- and it wouldn't be that hard to recompile it, since Office Mac is already running on Unix -- they'd just have to substitute some of the Carbon libraries.
Anyway... that being said -- when I need to flash ROM's, etc; I use Parallels. Make sure you turn "Auto attach USB" and don't plug your phone in before starting Windows. It works very well - I haven't had a problem yet. But I would strongly recommend using HardSPL and not flashing radios or SPL's via Parallels, just in case -- you can easily recover from a failed OS flash, but a failed radio flash can be very bad. Use a PC for those... or even the SD flash method described in the wiki (altho the stupid .DS_Store and .Trashes files seem to mess with that and prevent it from working -- so you have to slide the card into your phone with the OS running and delete those before restarting).

actually i had issues with the "auto attach USB" feature on parallels. It would tell me that the USB device is being used by the mac os...
other than that i flash everything through parallels and haven't had a problem yet.

Also is anyone having problems sending files to their macs with resco file explorer?
I have an intel mac. i just use parellels for almost everything. I use bootcamp for flashing roms. For installing programs i just transfer .cab files over with a card.
How do i send files over via bluetooth? That would be easier.
Wow the solution was right under my nose!

Hey fone_fanatic I wish I took a bit more notice of your sig.
If anyone wants a great solution - this is it!!!
Have been using it for a couple of weeks and have upgraded and hard reset at least 20 times and it syncs perfectly everytime.
I just installed Schap's 3.30b ROM on my Hermes last night and I like it a lot. However, whenever I try to sync with my computer I get an error saying that an appointment can't be synced because my device doesn't have enough memory. I have 48MB free storage and 22MB free program. I haven't gotten around to installing any programs other than those that come with the ROM and there are no programs running except for ActiveSync on the phone, so all of the memory is available. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
I guess you should post this in the Schaps Rom thread instead of creating a new one, that will help him and you to find an issue
This is an update on my previous topic:corrupt installations of programs.
(see below)
I also can't use the internet anymore, either way via connection with active sync by usb cable or wireless with WiFi mode. It does however states that a connection has been made, but when starting up Internet Explorer i don't get for example googles homepage.
When insterted in my desktop, active sync also replies it cannot sync properly. And i get a warning on the p3300 screen saying: could not get an ip adress or something like it.
See below the problem of my first topic:
Hi,
Could anybody provide help for me? My P3300 doesn't seem to be able to install any programs / games anymore?!? What to do, has anybody had the same experience?
Once I install a program from my desktop PC to the P3300 or when I copy the CAB-file straight to the P3300, I get the standard installation screen: "choose a location.....Device, Storage Card or Bluetooth...blablabla"
But when I tap either one, let's say Storage Card, the thing is loading and a 2 seconds later I get the same screen, but with the message: "pocketxpdf.sf.net pocketxpdf cannot be installed. To try installing again to a different location, choose a location: Device, Storagecard or Bluetooth."
How is this possible all of a sudden? Never had problems...there is enough storage space, I've never updated the ROM, just a soft-reset doesn't work either. I don't want to do a hard-reset yet until I know a way to export my Contacts so I don't have to bring them in manually again after a possible hard-reset. (since i cannot install the program EasyHelper anymore...)
Anyone have any clue, what could be wrong?
My Specs:
HTC P3300 UK (+ extended battery)
Original ROM version
WM5
Installed programs:
Windows Vista Skin
Battery Status
Pocket Mechanic
SBSH Clock
Resco Explorer
PSshutXP
Pocket Painter
Wisbar Advantage 2
TomTom WE full
Games:
Battleship
Chess

Many thanks if you could help me out!

FIXED!!!!
I fixed it!
I have no idea how, but I can install programs again. And I can connect via wLan (WiFi) and use the internet again.
What I did was: I used Sprite Backup Software for PPC on my laptop which I used a couple months ago to make a backup. I restored this backup to the phone. After, everything worked again and I could install PocketXPDF 0.5.0 finally with success.
Only side-affect: I lost recent made contacts and recently made/received SMS text messages. I think Sprite also overwrote these files with the older ones I had still on my laptop.
So,people, you see: It's always usefull to have a backup of your devices!
I dont know whats wrong with my phone I flashed the romeo 6.5 htc sense 2.5 rom onto my phone earlier and it was working fine but then it started to act up. the htc sense was laggin and skipping alot and then i tried to flash to another rom but it kept telling me that i dont have enough memory to put the nbh file onto the explorer folder. so i go check my documents on my device but nothing seem to appear. so i did a hard reset but since then the only thing that keeps showing on my screen when i turn it on is just the 1st screen of that says touch pro 2 then it blinks to another screen and it just says windows mobile romeos initializing configuration please wait but it stays on that screen and does nothing else

Sounds like you flashed one too many times. The Custom RUU's do not reformat the ROM chip. Flash a Stock ROM like one of the HTC Official Updates. This will have the stock RUU which does format the ROM chip. Then, you can go flash any ROM you like. I had this same problem once on my Kaiser where folders would disappear.

Hey mate, does it means that if I flashed too many ROM in a particular period then this problem would occurred? lol~ I didn't clearly understand what you explained.

Not that it would occur, but something similar "could" occur. This is why in the Kaiser section they always told you to flash stock/hard reset/flash custom ROM of choice/hard reset. It's not that you need to, but doing so an help prevent weird bugs from showing up like what he explained. It's just like installing Windows on a PC, they always recommend you format the drive on each install or your install could be buggy. For best results you format so the drive is clean & no left over files that can screw with the new install. Plus, low level formating will gain back bad clusters in the hard driver/ROM chip lost during use by data corruption. This format process is disabled in the XDA made Custom*RUU.exe for various reasons. So the more ROM's you flash, the more changes occur on the ROM Chip & the more likely a bug could appear.

Check in the ROM's thread. Also, you may need to clear the PC's sync partnerships. If you have flashed a lot the PC can only handle so many Partners. Each time you flash a new ROM, it creates a new partner as it think's it's a different device.
how do you soft and hard reset the att tilt 2? Had an old tilt and I just got this a few days ago still figuring it out

Soft Reset hole is on the side of the device. It may be under the battery door. The side with the stylus, under the secondary Mic.
Hard Reset is done by holding Send/End/Power & pressing Soft Reset with stylus. Hold the Send/End/Power keys till the Hard Reset message appears onscreen.
This was the first flash I did and after a hard rest still will not sync and nothing in the thread for the rom. I cleared all my partnerships. The phone is connected and I can transfer files to and from my storage card. Do I need to update the device driver on my pc? Any way to get my outlook 2003 contacts on the phone through my storage card or any other way?

If running XP you need ActiveSync 4.5, if running Vista/7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. All drivers for the devices come from those programs. Have you tried manually opening Active Sync/device Center to see if it's connecting/seeing the device? Also, make sure there's no setting on the device making it act as a USB Mass Storage drive. Some ROM's give a app or setting to do this as it increases transfer rates for copying files, but it doesn't allow syncing.
I have win mobile device center and know sync. the phone will connect for usb mass storage and I can access the files on my storage card. when I connect my phone it gives me the option of outlook sync or flash drive. I select the outlook sync and the first time my pc said the device was installed successfully but no recognition from mobile device center.

Hum, I'm at a loss, I would post in the ROM's thread to see if anyone else has/had this issue. Maybe it's ROM related?!?!? I'm running ROMeOS without sync issues. Granted I don't sync anything, but when i open device center the device does show up. I always check this, because if the device isn't seen by WMDC, I can't get data connections while connected to USB. I have this problem a lot because I removed WMDC from startup as I don't want an app running in the BG taking up resources when I don't use it.
actually what i did was flash my rom through micro sd because my phone wouldnt load to the home screen so i wasnt able to connect to aactive sync. thank god i got my wife a tp2 also wich i was able to dl the nnhb file on the micro sd card and then just run it from my phone but yes i did flash my rom way too many times during this past weekend id say about t times in a days is there a limit of times you can flash a device per day because i dont want to fry my phone up lol silly me

For future reference, you don't need to flash via SD if you are stuck. Just follow these steps.
1) Power Off
2) Hold down Volume Down button
3) Plug in USB Cable
4) Boot Loader appears onscreen & at button in White space says "USB"
5) Flash ROM via PC as normal.
yea but its not going to be connected to active sync so how do i get the nbh file onto the phone unless i can just run the ruu and it will flash
ok now everytime i try to flash my rom back to the stock one through micro sd it starts the process but then the back light turns off and then the phone stays off and i have to hard reset it can someone help me and when i connect it to the pc it has the bootloader but it says error on the bottom of the screen
do i have to flash my radio back to stock also?
I had the same problem... luckily t-mobile has a buyers remorse program... because I could not get the active sync/WMDC to work either... did you download the wifi cab on another thread? I ask because this is what did it for me? Or maybe a combo of cabs but definately linked to the wifi cab... Gettin a new phone today... if anyone figure this out, make it a sticky!
