Looking for a set up whereby I can synchronise a single Word Mobile file (or similar) on my TP2 with one on my PC, so I can edit it on one device, synchronise, then edit the revised version on my other device and visa versa.
I use Fumambol already for contacts, calendar, tasks and Notes but can not use Notes for this as I need some formatting (underline, bold) and in any case I've never discovered how to stop Notes scanning the phone, storage card and connected Networks for associated files before openning - which means it usually never does open before the phone hangs.
I know Funambol will sync 'briefcase' if you set up your own server rather than use theirs - but I want to be able to sync via a 'cloud' so both my devices don't have to be on at the same time.
Has anybody got any suggestions?

Hi,
Send and recieve sms text messages from your computer via the mobile device connect through ActiveSync.
There will be 2 distinct editions; Standalone Edition and the Outlook Edition
The Outlook Edition will be available for Outlook 2003/2007/2010
It will be ready for both x32 and x64 versions of Windows.
Initial releases won't read data from the SIM card
Sounds cool.
Sending from Outlook will be very useful i guess.
thanks.
Being able to type out a text on my large keyboard, or even— to copy and paste long messages into a text!? Sign me up, right now!
basically u can do this if u remote your phone using pc.
example : use mymobiler
I`ve been trying to get Onenote to sync with hotmail, with no luck. i go into the office hub, go to onenote, click on "all" and then hit "refresh" to sync. I get the following error message
"this notebook has either been renamed or deleted from the server. If this notebook has been renamed, do one of the following: change ntoe notebook name back to what it was, or delete this notebook from your phone and reopen it"
I can`t delete the notebook - the only one on my phone is called "personal (web)" and I`m not allowed to delete it, phone says it cnnot delete as its the one where default notes go.
I`ve tried creating a new onenote file on the web, but that doesn`t seem to help either.
Can anyone help??
one of the major deciding factors for WP7 was the Office integration, in particular Onenote.
I found that syncing isn't as easy as it should be.
BUt this guy managed to sort it out
here
hope it helps
Very helpful link. Thanks!
I have now fixed the sync problem by recreating the missing notebook "Personal (Web)" on my skydrive in the correct folder.
However, there are 2 niggles
1) The section names in the notebook will not sync. On skydrive the section name is "Phone" and on the phone its "untitled Section" - a manual refresh doesnt change this.
2) New pages created on the phone will not automatically sync to skydrive when saved. I have to manually force a sync by doing a refresh in the "pages" secion on the phone. I have Automatic Syncronisation switched on in Onenote settings.
New pages created on skydrive in the same notebook sync automatically to the phone without having to force a sync.
Are you getting the asame behaviour?

This is obviously operator error.
Recreate a notebook with the same name as the one you weren't supposed to delete on SkyDrive.
Same thing would happen if you were syncing to skydrive from desktop onenote.

Why even bother to send a reply if you are going to be so arrogant and unhelpful? read Hboos` reply to give you a lesson on how to be genuinely helpful. If you can`t bother to reply properly, dont bother replying at all.

I did give the solution. Read again, ingrate.

Sorry, but I think I missed the answer also. I tried to sync my OneNote Mobile with skydrive for to have an opportunity to sync with my pc. Unfortunately OneNote 2010 on my pc and my windows mobile had different opinions where to find the Personal (Web). And so I deleted all the folders in skydrive and was going to start again. But now I have a folder on the phone I cannot delete and I cannot have another one as it seems. I recreate the folder structure on skydrive and build a new personal (web), but my phone does not believe that this one exists.

I had this problem too and it was a little weird way that sorted it out but I'll try to remember
I don't have my Omnia 7 temporarily but try this out.
1. Go to OneNote on your computer and create a new notebook to sync to "My Documents" on SkyDrive.
2. Name it Personal (Web)
3. Create a few random notes and pages on it.
4. Try to sync your phone now.
5. Hopefully it has created a new note called "Unfiled" or something and the Personal Web should work now
6. Set Personal Web as your default
7. Delete Unfiled..
Does that work?
As I said earlier, I don't have the OMnia 7 with me so the instructions might be a load of tosh
Let me know!
notebook lost on skydrive
Unfortunately it did not work. I build that new notebook on skydrive, but the phone still cannot see it.
maybe scoob will help you.
if not, my omnia 7 is coming back on fri so will help you then
did you make the notebook from your desktop Onenote program?
you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone.
then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.
try that!
I just tried that and it worked. I created another notebook from my pc on skydrive, connected on the phone via browser, set it as default and deleted the personal (web).
Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone.
Can't Sync OneNote Skydrive & Windows Phone 7
I didn't see this thread beforehand and deleted the Personal (Web) notebook from my SkyDrive to start and now I can't get past the error when I try to Sync my windows phone with the SkyDrive as I only have the one notebook - Personal (Web) - on my phone and don't have anything else to make the default. Any ideas on how to fix?
I can't seem to figure out if you can create a new notebook on the phone then set that as the default.
Any assistance wouldl be much appreciated.
it kinda helps if you actually read the thread too.. it's all been solved
just check the post above yours.
Please forgive me, I am having troublle following the directions
Please forgive an old man who has gone through all the posts and tried each step but is still having problems. I've condensed the post(s) below and put my comments/experience in CAPS hoping it is clearer and makes more sense than my prior post.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my prior post, on my Windows Phone 7, I only have 1 notebook displayed - Personal (Web) - and when i "TAP A NOTEBOOK TO REFRESH IT", I get the "can't find notebook" error.
I have tried to create a new notebook called "Personal (Web)" in the folder My Documents on Skydrive but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it on they syn.
I have also put a few other notebooks into the My Documents folder on Skydrive and tried the sync on the phone but still get the "Can't find notebook" error. I can't seem to figure out how to push another notebook to the phone so I can then make that one the default on the phone.
Any suggestions. If I've missed something in these posts, can you please point it out to me so i can fix it as I thought i hit each step but am still floundering. I know some others had a similar problem (posts here and elsewhere) but, at least, they had other notebooks already sync'd to their phone so they could name a new notebook as default. I just have the 1 "Personal (Web) that i can't get to sync to the server."

Default notebook lost on skydrive
Unfortunately it did not work. I build that new notebook on skydrive, but the phone still cannot see it. SAME PROBLEM FOR ME

you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone. I CAN CREATE NEW NOTEBOOKS AND SYNC WITH SKYDRIVE BUT MY PHONE ONLY HAS THE PERSONAL (WEB) NOTEBOOK ON IT AND, ANYTIME I PRESS THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE PHONE, I GET THE 'CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK' ERROR
then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.
try that!

Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone. AS ABOVE, I CREATED ANOTHER NOTEBOOK ON MY PC AND SYNC'D TO SKYDRIVE. NOT SURE WHAT "CONNECTED ON THE PHONE VIA BROWSER, SET AS DEFAULT" MEANS. I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE IN EITHER ONENOTE ON THE PC OR ONENOTE ON THE WEB HOW TO SET A DEFAULT NOTEBOOK ????
Tell you what, i'll recreate the error and then put up the instructions in a more clear and concise manner.
That would be very much appreciated! Bill
My solution:
- delete everything notebooks (what you can) on phone
- start IE on phone
- go to skydrive.live.com -> My documents
- try open (from IE) notebooks on skydrive
this causes add a skydrive notebooks to phone OneNote notebooks
Ok
If you have accidentally deleted the Personal (WEB) notebook from Skydrive and are encountering the "CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK" error when trying to delete or sync it from your phone...
Here are the instructions
1. Ensure that your PHONE browser is set to view the mobile version of websites (found in settings)
2. Ensure that your phone is set to sync automatically Settings/applications/office/onenote
3. On your PC, go to your skydrive and create a new Notebook...call it "Personal" and rename the Section "Unfiled notes"
4. on your PHONE, go to office.live.com and login and click on your new notebook and then click on the icon
5. your PHONE will now automatically sync with the new notebook
6. on your screen you should see the notebooks on your PHONE. One of the pages of your notebook will have a picture of 3 pages fanned out...that Page is your default one.
7. click and hold the "Unfiled Notes" in the new Personal notebook you just downloaded
8. select "set as default"
9. now you can delete the PERSONAL (WEB) notebook from your phone by pressing the trash can icon.
Worked perfectly! Now why couldn't a 1+ hour phone call with MS support or the multitude of support pages they have for winphone 7 not post the 4 simple steps! THANK YOU!
The sync with One Note on the Windows Phone 7 is a bit confusing but here is your solution.
1) Create a One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account.
2) Under Properties of the FOLDER containing the One Note Notebook on your Windows Live Account, click of the Share option and a drop down menu will appear to "get a link".
3) Copy the goofy long link that Microsoft Live give you and email to yourself to be received on your phone.
4) Open up your email and your One Note will now show up on the phone.
5) If that doesn't work, then simply sign onto Internet Explorer using your Windows 7 Phone and sign on to Windows Live Account. Browse to your One Note Notebook using your WP7 phone and click Open in One Note and the Notebook will then open up in One Note.
I had the same problem and the above worked for me. I think I skipped step 3 and 4 above and went direct to step 5.
This will work. Just give it a try.
For many years, I have been a user of “notes” in WM devices. I now have accumulated quite a list of them and I use them routinely. They have always resided on an SD card which I swapped when I changed devices.
Has anyone discovered a way to get these “notes” into the new devices? A cloud-based solution is certainly acceptable for transfer of the data, but not for storage. I require device-based storage for almost everything as I spend a lot of time removed from any source of connectivity.
Thanks!
At the moment, there currently is no way to sync files other than media (photos, music, videos, podcasts, which are sync'd through the Zune software).
You can however, store your file online (such as through SkyDrive), and then download them using the phone's web browser. When you download files from the web, they certainly get stored somewhere, but since there is no file browser, you can't browse to a directory and tap the file to start it. For example, when you load a PDF file from the web on your phone, it gets downloaded somewhere, but if you decide to look at the PDF again in the future, you can only access that from the Adobe Reader app, where it gets listed until you decide to remove it.
That being said, I don't think that Windows Phone supports the old Windows Mobile Notes files though, so I'm not sure how you would view them on Windows Phone 7.
An alternative would be to convert over to OneNote and use the online syncing capability (which rocks). Create your notes on your desktop, online, or on your phone and they can automatically stay in sync with each other.
I am not quite sure if you mean this but if you go to office then onenote and then press all you can sync them.
I only used office 2010 for some months, but I think you can create a online link and connect it to your phone.
The data is stored on the phone and if you edit something it will be synced the next time if you are online.
I hope i helped as i am not quite sure myself and I am waiting to get office 2010.

It's pretty easy to set up skydrive to sync with OneNote on your phone. I used cut and paste on my pc to copy my notes from Outlook to OneNote on my browser (skydrive), then synced the phone. Now any changes to the notes - made either on the web app or the phone - get synced automatically. Very convenient after all the initial copying.
another vote for oneNote, the default notbook works great, in system settings go to applications > onenote and slide the sync slider, they'll give you more info, read it, they won't tell you again.
I also setup a second notebook to share with a business partner on my PC, the link showed up in my ME tile, I clicked it out of curiosity, now it's synced too!
+1 for one note, a very convenient solution, not something i had used before now, but i am becoming increasingly reliant on it!
