After upgrading to wm5 my first active sync took 90 min. Is this normal? How will future sync's be (I hope it will be much faster)? Can any1 please advise on any ways too speed this process up. Have set my firewall (Bit defender) to allow access to active sync. Not sure what else I can do. It always seems to hang on contacts, calender and email sync. THANKS!!!
work a round
the only work around solution I could find was to use microsoft firewall. Now my pda syncs quickly...
Hi,
I have a question about synchronizing Artemis and Outlook (2003) on PC.
When I change something in Task or Appointment (reminder, due time...) in Outlook on PC - Activesync immediately synchronize PC with Pocket Outlook on Artemis. But if I change something in contacts or tasks on Artemis it doesn't synchronize. I must run synchronization manually or simply disconnect and reconnect device with USB cable.
Could You tell me if it works the same way in your PDAs? Of course if anybody knows how to change this I will be grateful.
I remember that with my old Asus A716 and Windows 2003 every change in pocket database was synchronized with PC at once.
Maybe somebody have a few minutes however?
Just add a task to pocket, then remove it and write her if it caused immediate synchronization with PC, please.
Tested
Hiya,
i have just tested this and found the same results as you did, even when i closed and reopened Outlook the change did not appear.

Thanks,
I didn't noticed that - I will try it. If it's normal WM5 behavior and if user can't change this it's not very convenient...
In fact, when I closed Mobile Outlook on PDA, and then started it again - synchronization icon was grayed out and even if I clicked synchronize button on PDA - synchronization didn't started. I think you must disconnect and reconnect USB cable -> Mobile Outlook starts automatically and then synchronization starts too.
But look at this:
I connected PDA to PC, then I changed one of my tasks due date (synchronization on PC didn't start), then I disconnected device and I had one task with two due dates - first on PDA, second on PC.
I don't know if it is standard on WM5 with ActiveSync 4.5, bug in WM5 or AS, or bug in Artemis. Or maybe we have something in our systems messed up?
Greetings and thanks for your help
has anyone encountered this problem...
i recently got a vista laptop and so far has numerous times encoutered this error wherein i had to recreate my sync partnership only to delete again the partnership and recreate it.
it has been a cycle i have been going thru and so far i have been doing it over and over without a succesful sync.
help or advise anyone?
What sync...6.1or 4.5? I find that 4.5 is more stable and have had a few problems with 6.1
im using the windows mobile 6.1 version, so far it keeps on giving me problems since day 1.
it wojuld sync for awhile, then have a problem, had to ask to delete partnership and re sync, then work again for awhile, then the problem again. hate it!
Hi.
If your device and WMDC dont connect, just kill wmdc.exe process and start WMDC again. Works for me.
actually they do connect, the problem is it keeps on giving me an error that i had sync again since an "error" as occurred, and says if it still doesnt work, i had to delete the partnership and sync again.
it keeps on going over and over.

Give more info... Like what office are you using 2003 or 2007 as 6.1 works with 2007 and 4.5 works best with 2003. If you have no office and just use windows mail or outlook express, then you would not be able to sync your e-mail or calendar. When it comes to sync, just try syncing your Mobile Favorites....or don't sync and be a guest....make sure that you in "connection settings that "allow USB connections" is checked. If you have Bluetooth adapter, try pairing it and syncing with that. Uninstall 6.1 and Install 4.5....Check for updates. I know that a while back there was a couple for Mobile sync center. You can go to the control panel and open up sync center and that would tell you whats going on.... also check your event viewer. Critical errors/ RapiMgr. should give you an event number... probably 6....go to online help and that will give you info........also will show you the errors in detail. With Vista make sure that the time on your PPC is the same as your computers time.
Also do a disk cleanup on your PC and install a reg cleaner on your PPC, you probably have a ton of errors...like memmaid
Its a new laptop ... spanking brandnew on windows vista and microsoft office 2007. jsut 5 day old, and installed vista fresh; downloaded the microsoft device center and for a time it sync ok; then the problem started and just wont stay fixed.
now, a temporary fixed is i installed pocket mirror instead of using the built in conduits, and so far so good i am able to make successful syncs.
I guess it is whatever works.... I have Vista Ultimate x4 and was in the Beta testing program. If you ever want to find out why it did not work, go into your control panel and open up "problems Reports solutions" and view your problem history...might even give you a solution

Hi everybody,
the switch from my TyTN II to the Rhodium was far from painless so far. I use the T-Mobile German version with the 6.5 upgrade. Running on 6.1, the Rhodium was far from stable and I was fearing I'd break my back cover from having to remove it so often for a reset. But even the update to 6.5 didn't remove the following error:
After Syncing I find in my calendar (mainly on the current day) one or more rows of identical, empty appointments that cannot be deleted, or rather, that seem to show up again and again when deleted.
The trial version of "Duplicates Remover" then shows literally hundreds of identical appointments.
Does anybody know a fix for this, or a hint where the bug could originate?
I have mixed experiences with Active Sync as I'm synchronizing with two PCs, so appointments and contacts have been deleted/are cropping up again long after deletion. I wish it was as effortless as HotSync on my Palm used to be ...
I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but forum search didn't come up with anything useful (maybe I've used the wrong search terms).
Thanks, Robert
*bump*
anybody have the same issue? hundreds of empty appointments on the day I start sync? I talked to T-Mo support and they didn't know the problem.

I've noticed the same issue recently with my HTC diamond 2 after upgrading to Outlook 2007 SP2 on a Windows XP laptop with ActiveSync 4.5.0 (Build 5096). The problem did not exist previously when running Outlook 2003 and syncing the same laptop and device.
Also have the device syncing with a Vista laptop also running the Outlook 2007 SP2 without issue. The difference is that vista uses the mobile device centre software instead of ActiveSync. I've searched the internet for a patch or update to ActiveSync for Windows XP but it seems I'm running the most update version.
I have the same problem with windows live, outlook, plaxo, and messenger, the problem is messenger really doesn't like you messing with the contacts and pictures attached to messenger just aren't really supported and are more or less user defined by the contact... so you get multiples... then syncing can create a info loop... still working on the problem but as for the calender what I found is to go and remove the repeating occurance... bet this is where the problem lies I have loads of them! I ended up deleting the folder and starting over! I created a dummy folder set it as my default and then deleted the corrupted one... I have found no program that changes all repeating events to one time events...
<fingers crossed>
At the moment I seem to be rid of most of the duplicates. In the end I had to do another hard reset on the mobile device, clear the duplicates from Outlook (2003), then sync. I have not, as I had before, synced the HTC with a second PC.
</fingers crossed>
Active Sync is really an embararssing piece of software ...
Robert
I have a similar issue. Got a Diamond 2, at home I run Win7 with Mobile Center but at work I have XP SP2 with AS. I get tons of blank appointments being created. If I disable calendar syncing, I get hundreds of blank contacts instead!!!
I use no messenger and whatnot - anyone has found a solution?
For me it was a problem of duplicate appointments and contacts.
I no longer synch using the wmdc now. Instead I just use the Microsoft My Phone service.
Notwithstanding, it would be great if microsoft could sort out the messy wmdc...
Yes, but the problem is that I deleted all my appointments and I've no duplicate contacts,a nd the problem persists... so it can't be that.
Also, no use for me using MyPhone as I don't use AS purely for backing up my device but also to sync it (surprise!) with my job calendar etc...
Duplicates...
I've had all these issues and my only work-a-round has been to make a backup .pst copy of my contacts/calendar at work (XPSP2-Outllook 2003), making sure that when sync is done, I delate the lot, and re-import them from the backup. This seems to solve the problem. Also recurring appointments can sometimes stuff up as they are interprited as 18hrs and not just 12hrs, which in turn can cause conflicts.
From what I can see it is an active sync issue that I have not come accross with Vista/7 & Outlook 2007+. With the different ways that these applications handle appointments/calanders I'm not surprised as to the corruption/dupplication of the data.
Another alternative option is to use PIM Banckup/SPB or other, let AS do it's thing, then over-right the phone with the backup copy, and let it re-sync the corrections.
I've triedto find something on MS helpdesk and leaderboards, but so far no success.
Hi everybody.
Did anybody get a solution (definitive, easy, fast) for this issue?
My sync was running nice and without problems for a long time. The same smartphone syncing with a couple notebooks... but I also starting get this same problem some weeks ago.
I've been hardly looking for how to fix it but I didn't find a solution so far.
Tks2all.
Over 3000 empty contacts in Outlook 2007 under Win 7
I have a similar problem, and haven't yet found any specific solutiion. I add contacts and calendar items to both my home installation (Outlook 2003 under WinXP x64) and my work installation (Outlook 2007 under Windows 7). I was able originally to sync my Samsung OmniaPro B7330 successfully with both systems (using ActiveSync 4.5 and Windows 7 Sync Center, respectively). The problems started when I tried to resync with my work system after adding a couple of thousand contacts to the Samsung which were on my home system. When I tried to resync there were no error messages, but I had to interrupt and resume once, because it took so long. Now I have over 3000 empty contacts on the work (Windows 7) system. The contacts still look correct on the Samsung and on the home (XP) system.
How can I get these contacts correctly on the work system?
Iam afraid to delete the empty ones for fear that the next sync will wipe the corresponding contacts with information from the smartphone.
The calendar entries seem to be working OK.
Any ideas or pointers to other possible sources of info on this problem?
P.S. If I observe the Outlook 2007 Contacts page while the contacts are synchronizing, it looks like there are 2 phases:
During the first phase, I can see the desired contacts being added to Outlook, one by one.
At the end of that phase, they somehow all disappear.
Windows Sync Center eventually says that the sync was "completed", without showing any error messages. Is there some way to get Winows Mobile Device Center to produce a logfile, so I can get a better idea of what is going on?
P.P.S. The last sync seems to have finally gotten the new contacts to appear in Outlook 2007. However, I still have over 3000 empty contacts. Can I safely delete them?
P.P.P.S. I went ahead and deleted them. I now have somewhat less than 3,000 contacts, with information that looks reasonable. Looking at my "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook, I see a bit over 12,000 contacts?!
Why this? In addition to the 3,000+ empty contacts I just deleted, there are 3 copies of each contact with information! The Outlook "Sync issues" folder conatins a string of messages distributed over the last week, about half of which mention "Conflict Resolution". I am now concerned that Outlook or WMDC may have done violence to some of the data in my contacts in the attempt tpo "auto-resolve" conflicts.
I have this problem if I sync via ActiveSync at work and Device Center at home.
I've learned the hard way that those two just don't play nice together. I keep praying that one day they'll kiss and make up...

I also have this problem syncing my HD2 with 2 PCs, one with Outlook 2007 and the other Outlook 2010.
All ran fine for a while syncing from my Work PC to HD2, and from HD2 to my Home PC. Out of the blue it failed to sync properly with my Work PC and 2,000 half-hour blank appointments were created at the current time and day. To make matters worse, most birthdays disappeared in 2011 and lots of entries were duplicated.
I spent a whole morning deleting the 2,000 blank entries and hundreds of duplicate appointments. Listing the annual events I found most were set to repeat every 12 years which explained why birthdays had disappeared! I've corrected this and things seem fine now with my Work PC, but I'm wary about syncing with my Home PC in case all goes wrong again!
Any solutions?
My friend has same problem with his HD2 (Win7, Outlook 2007, 2010).
With sync the Outlook make half hours appointments in the current day. Interesting: when I disconnect the phone, the empty appointments are dont cancelling.
Same problem here (around 150 of half-hour appointments in one day).
I am using HTC Diamond since 2008, the problem started in July 2011 when syncing with work computer.
I have no idea how to fix it.
I can only offer some information on what's going on.
When syncing, the first thing that happens is empty appointments are all created on today. These are then populated, setting the date, time, subject etc. So it sounds like your sync only gets up to creating the empty appointments and doesn't finish setting the information.
Sorry I can't be more help - unless the process is not allowing to be completed.
I don't know if someone else is having this problem.... My Windows Mobile Device Center is not synchronizing, I get an ERROR....
I just noticed something, if I only configure one Exchange Server the WMDC works OK, but if I have more than one it doesn't work.
Why two?
One is for my works email, and the other one is for synchronizing Google contacts.
Any help???
I have the same problem... I haven't had much time to troubleshoot it yet.
Try this
I have had the same problem what i needed to do & this is the same for XP with active sync, there is a setting (depends which rom u use) for active sync that allows for faster sync u need to uncheck this setting because it wont work with all usb's and if you are using a usb on the case most likely is not a usb 2.0. each time i switch this setting off active sync works again.
Hope this helps
