Sync problems with more than one PCs - Touch HD Themes and Apps

good morning.
I have an HTC HD for over a month now.
I had been syncing it in both my pc (windows VISTA business), and my laptop (windows VISTA business).
I have had no problems in syncing until yesterday. Now, after I sync it with my laptop my pc cannot recognize my HD when I connect it.
Does anyone has a hint on this? How can I overcome this problem?
I use windows mobile device center in both cases
thank you

Smooth sync with outlook

Im going to get my htc hd tomorrow, and wonder wich is the easiest way to sync my phone with outlook. I want to sync with calender and email not contacts.
Sync should be like, Home Computer <-> Phone <-> Work .
If i make a change somewhere all 3 should be updated,
I run mobileme now and thinks it works great. So something like that would be great.
Any ideas?
If you use VISTA, use the integrated Mobile Device center to sync, it is an updated version of Active Sync wich you should download when u use XP. Both are from Microsoft and are free and easy to use. When connecting your HD touch the first time, you can easly set up what you want to sync.
Perfect, i try that tomorrow.
A small tip:
When I first tried to sync through Mobile Device Center, it didn't recognize my HD. Turned out it was my Vista that I never update (I have my reasons ). After I donwloaded and installed all updates, Mobile Device Center instantly recognized with my phone.
That's right! But I think Vista wil auto update the driver needed for the HTC when you connect your device...
I'm having a problem with this. I run my laptop on Vista, but when I connect my Touch HD the laptop seems to know that it's there but the Windows Mobile doesnt and I can't connect or pair my phone.
HELP PLEASE! I don't know how I can get it to work!Thanks in advance.

i'm having the same problem cindy but with my pc running vista after i installed the new rom on my HD from the htc site did you solved it already?
thanks louis

Connecting TP2 to computer

What software do I use to connect the TP2 to the comp? I'm looking to back up my phone on the comp as well as transfer some CAB files to it that are too big to email.
I installed both the cd's that came with the phone. One installed some odd Verizon bundle and the other just gives me this worthless screen about the online manual and whatnot.
Thanks!
If you're using Windows Vista, then you need Windows Mobile Device Center.
If you're using Windows XP, then you need Activesync.
You can get them here.
Please read your device's manual for more information.

Windows Mobile Remote Adapter cannot start, error code 10

First I have to state: I've already searched the web and xda-developers forums. Tried all solutions found, none work.
I don't connect my HTC Touch Pro 2 to my computer (Vista 32bit) often; other than the first few days, when I was downloading a lot of softwares to my device, I don't connect them at all. But the point is I was able to connect to WMDC.
Yesterday I wanted to try out Pocket Diablo, so I had to connect my device in order to install .NET CF 2.0. But I found I can no longer sync:
- Before I connect the device, I can see WMDC's green tray icon
- After I plug in the device (using the cable from HTC), WMDC's tray icon disappeared.
- I checked Device Manager, and found "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" cannot start, error code 10. There was no mobile device listed.
- I tried another USB port, same result. I tried uninstalling all USB hubs and root hubs, let them reinstall, reconnect device, same result.
- With device still plugged in, I uninstalled "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and deleted the driver too. Then I unplugged device, uninstall WMDC driver update and WMDC itself, reboot PC, download WMDC6.1 from Microsoft again, reinstall WMDC, reboot, still no tray icon, and reconnect device with same result.
- I tried the above together with giving Users group full control on the registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Svchost\WindowsMobile", same result.
- If I uncheck "advanced connection" on my device, there is no "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in device manager, but there is a generic mobile device listed. In WMDC it still thinks there is no device connected, and I cannot access the device in Windows Explorer.
- If I connect the device as a disk (under device's USB connection settings), I can access the device through Windows Explorer.
- I even hard-reset my device, still same result.
- I tested my old O2mini, same result.
- I don't recall any big changes on my system since my last successful connection.
- I tested my HTC Touch Pro 2 in my office (Vista 32bit), and it can be connected successfully.
So it seems the problem is in my home computer; the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter (version matches WMDC6.1's version) refuses to work in all cases.
Other than taking the sync cable in my office back home tomorrow, I'm all out of ideas of what to try next.
Can anyone give me a helping hand?
Bump. Please help, I really need to solve this.
- I'm taking the cable in office home, but I highly doubt that is the reason because with the cable at home I can connect as a disk and can charge.
- I notice in office (the successful case), the remote adapter is named "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2". At home (the failure case) there is no #number, just "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter".
Tested and it is not the cable. Cable used to successfully sync in office has same effect at home - Windows Mobile Remote Adapter cannot start, code 10.
I tried enabling WMDC debug log, but there're none - looks like the process failed at the driver stage and WMDC is not even started.
Also, when I have the device connected with the non-functioning driver, it seems to wreck havoc on my real network driver. I often need to reconnect my network connection.
Can anyone help?
It's getting weirder and weirder...
- I reinstalled WMDC for the countless time, and suddenly I am able to connect to O2mini (which does not connect via a network adapter). O2mini shows up in WMDC (can setup a partnership) and explorer. But not HTC TP2.
- If I disable advanced connection on TP2, I can connect TP2 as a Mobile device, but there is no network adapter. WMDC detects no connection, and I cannot view TP2 in explorer.
- I tried connecting O2mini again after TP2's failure, and O2mini cannot connect too - device manager shows no problem, but in WMDC I get nothing but the red stop sign and a simple message: "Error". No entries in event viewer.
And is anyone even reading this thread?
I was having a similar deal. Sync works solid on XP at home, was working but then stopped on 2 laptops with Vista and giving me those error codes.
I did the same things as unistalling mobile center on vista to no avail.
What did work was going onto the device, Start/All Applications/ActiveSync. Then Menu/Options and delete on the laptop PC's.
Now when I sync my vista laptop to the device it shows up as an additional device. I can copy files to it, I'm not sure if it syncs any other info.
The active sync also has an option for connections where you can uncheck "same for all pc's". I didn't try that one, but it might do something.
Update the Driver?

You mean removing the partnerships? I already did that - I had hardreset my TP2 for nothing too.

I tried, but Vista said I already have the latest version (6.1.6965.0). I tried uninstalling (and fill the checkbox to remove the driver) and reinstalling, no difference.
It has to be something not right on my computer's drivers.
I'm going to compare the driver files of my home and office computers and see if there are any difference...
I copied all files related to the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter home, and compared them to mine. They are all identical.
I also tried forcing Device Manager to show non-present devices (by setting two environment variables), removed the related ones and tried again. Same result.
I'm all out of ideas now.
I'm even considering moving up to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit), hoping that will solve my problems.
-- but what? They leave me with a nasty bug and I consider paying them even more? Whiskey, tango, foxtrot?
Awesome, finally i found someone that has (i think) 100% my problem.
Let me ask you this, what is your computer specs? Because this happened to me after i got a new computer >.< .
Mine is
Asus p7p55d LE motherboard
i5 50?
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)
I also have a HTC Touch pro2 (verizon) but i have testing my computer with a Samsung Omnia (verizon) to confirm my problem.
Edit: BTW this is on a Windows 7, just throwing it out there so that people can be even more mind boggled
Asus P7P55D Deluxe
Intel i7-860
2 sticks of Kingston 2Gb
I got my TP2 from Fortress (Hong Kong), they added a bunch of goodies in the ROM, like the radio cab, 1% battery driver, a business card scanner, etc.
You have the same problem on Windows 7? I am going to buy W7 tomorrow, I'm going 64-bit...
If I get the same problem in W7, then well, damn... at least I can connect TP2 as a driver and write data to it. But if I need to install anything from the PC-side, I'll need to rip the cab out of the installer.
holy crap then i think i know why its not working. Maybe its because of the new chipset p55? Doesnt support the drivers? or something

Definitely not.
Plus I have sync'ed successfully before, and my TP2 plus cable can still sync in office, advanced connection on. It's a software problem.
I encountered the exact same error in Windows 7.
The Windows 7 is a fresh install, Windows updated, and installed 64-bit version of WMDC.
Darn.
First, sorry for my very bad english.
I had the same problem ( Error code 10 with Microsoft Mobile Remote Adapter) with p7p55d and Windows7.
It was a trouble with my asus p7p55d.
- I updated my bios to the 0711 version (this version does not appear on AsusUpdate, i found it on www.asus.com)
- I uninstall old Windows Mobile remote adapter
- I uninstall WMDC
- reboot
- simply plug my phone and let windows update do the job. This time it was good for me...
I have the same issue with ASUS P7P55D PRO and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, even with BIOS 0711. I tried all the ideas, nothing helps.
The same problem for me.
Windows 7 64bit,
Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Mainboard
I report great success with this problem!
Like suggested from a previous poster, i did update my bios to 605 (this is for p7p55d LE). But i noticed one thing, the setting for Plug and Play was set to that the bios handled it. I changed to so the that OS (?) handled it instead and tried everything again.
Happy to say (after some extra problems that does not pertain to this error) i finally got it to work. Hope my experience help others.
Encountered a similar issue yesterday.
WMDC could not sync. Although when selected as a disk drive, it connects fine.
What fixed it for me was to disable this setting in the device: Settings/connections/usb to pc/enable faster data synchronization.
Exit out, no reset required.
Good luck.
I have the same problem since my new gigabyte p55-ud5
i have windows 7 Ultimate. my htc diamond work fine for one week, then it stoped sync.
i think its somthing with the memory....
i tried to change the speed on my corsair DHX 2GB from 1600Mhz to 1333 and it worked for couple of days.
then it stoped sync.
tried to add voltage in bios but no good.
updated the bios - then it only worked with memory speed 1333 or 1066.
i shutdown my computer only once in a week.
then it started again. now no matter what i do - no SYNC.
i searched for this error alot and the common hardware is:
P55 + vista/win7 + HTC.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firm-up!
i have a good news!
Finally i got it after firm-up the bios.
Asus p7p55d turned out to got a problem installing 'Windows ... Adapter'

Vista Home not working with HTC Sync

I have Vista Home and I installed HTC Sync using the .exe file that was inside the SD card supplied with the phone. But I have no joy getting this to work and so I cannot sync my Outlook contacts and calendar. The phone shows "cannot find HTC Sync on your PC and.. etc" When I looked into Control Panel/Device Manager I can see that there is a big yellow exclamation mark under Android USB Devices which reads "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)".
Any joy from anyone to sync your contacts and calendar ? thanks Peter
of course it works, take the .exe and right click on it & choose properties...
you now see a tab "compatibility" en you can choose to run it as XP with service pack 2 ...
now it have to work properly.
Its very usefull onces you know it.
otherwise you can look for the programm "the missing sync for android"
good luck
Are you using the latest version of Sync - same as that available from HTC's website? I'm running Vista Home Premium x64 without compatibility and it's running fine.
After installing HTC Sync on the PC, you also have to switch the Desire from charge mode or USB disk mode to HTC Sync mode. Failing that, have you got a firewall/AV package which could be blocking it?
same issue
I've got exactly the same problem, did you fix yours? any tips?
HTC Desire Sync Problems
I'm new here so forgive any duplication.
I am having the same problems with the HTC Sync .exe, Vista Home Basic and the Device driver incompatability.
It has been a while since the last post to this thread and I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to the above problems. I hope so as it is driving me mad
Hi, I bought my Desire last Saturday, and it synched flawlessly with my Windows7 64bit notebook.... but that is not my pc -_-
My pc is a Vista Home Premium 32 bit, and I encountered the same exact problems that some mentioned in this thread... did any solution come out to solve it? Or Vista HP 32 owners are going to be disappointed?
Sorry for the double post, but I think I have good news
Trying again after I updated to Vista Service Pack 1, the "My HTC" device was installed perfectly, and connecting the phone to an USB port on the rear of the PC, the sync worked as a charm
I hope this will be helpful to someone, bye!
I also have a problem with HTC Sync on my laptop running vista 32 bit. I've installed it in the past but when it's installed it seems to interfere with my internet connection, basically slowing the connection down, it's as if it's stopping then starting over and over again. For example if im downloading or using youtube it will download a bit then hang for a couple of minutes or hang forever. Then when i uninstall Sync the internet is fine again.
To be honest i don't really use Sync but i'd like the option to be able to use it without messing up my internet.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

[Q] HTC Mondrian mobile sync issue

Hey guy's any idea where to get the drivers for the HTC Mondrian mobile to connect to the windows 7 x64 cause currently it says unidentified on the usb, i read somewhere that you need Zune 4.7 to connect/sync to the phone... hope some one can shed some light.
thanks in advance!
Yes, that's correct. You need Zune 4.7 which as of now is only available on the Microsoft Connect site and requires permissions.
Thanks for confirming
