Which version are you using, I have just installed and after a reboot (of both PC and device) it works really well. The version I used can be found here - http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/how-to-sync-itunes-with-htc-desire-via-htc-sync/
Hi All
I found the HTC Sync 3.0.5387 here
www.rapidshare.com/files/409679123/Setup_3.0.5387.exe
Its the version from the Wildfire.
I have tested this on a XP SP3 / 32 with outlook 2010 / 32bit
Here is what I can say about it.
It will find the desire and even shows the correct picture for it.
It will sync Calendar and I was unable to find any thing that went wrong or i was missing.
It will sync some (NOT All) of my contacts (400+)
However...
I feel the reason HTC has not made it avallbale for us is due to the fact it does not work as expected.
On a re-sync of the contacts (to get the missing ones) it deleted a few (20+) and then added most (200+) a second time on my device.
It also comes up with "not enough memory on device" message on contact sync.
Had 389 contacts and got 260 on my device after deleting all of them on the desire.
I would not recommned that anybody uses it untill they come out with a new version.
If you do then here is an application that will remove your duplicate ones in outlook.
http://accuratesolution.net/AccurateOutlookDuplicateRemover.htm
I found that if you wait until your phone says it's connected and if HTC Sync still doesn't show that if you click the 'Help' button in the top right It shows the sync screen
Tried it. completely hopeless... version 3.0.5422 HTC Sync on HTC Desire. Failed on all attempts, restarted com, restarted phone, plug in plug out.. showed signs of willingness to work but never gets through any stage of the sync and comes out with "Unknown Error Occurred"
for see my desire i must launch the sync
or wait so much
now i restart win for search other good way
sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know how to schedule how often the updates happen ? the old version had settings that you could configure this but i can't seem to find them ?
Remember to select 'HTC Sync' mode and not USB charge etc?
I had the option to synv Firefox bookmarks but I don't see them on my phone.
HTC sync 3 is now available for Desire on HTC site. it's not the one tht wildfire has. It's different. i downloaded today. it's working fine

Just downloaded the new HTC Sync version 3.0.5422 and it sees my Desire just fine but it can't sync my music from iTunes.
I can choose my playlists and all but no music is transferred.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have all my music on a NAS - Maybe thats the problem....
Hi,
Downloaded new HTC Sync. But it's not working. It will start. But when I connect my Desire it will not see me phone. Even windows does not see my phone anymore!
HTC Sync will also crash. Windows 7 64bit.

Solved!
Uninstalled everything, reboot, install again, reboot. And now it's syncing.
For those downloading from the UK, select Europe 2 as the location to download from. I found Europe 1 crawls along.

HTC Sync 3 5422 is working well and appears much more stable that version 2.
Negatives so far appear that:
1. It won't sync Keepass files. The program syncs other docs on the folder but ignores the Keepass file.
2. It won't allow you to select the folder location to which files are saved on the pc. By default, it stores photos in My Documents > My Photos.

I tried iTunes sync and it worked fine when I asked it to transfer my top rated tunes and they transferred to the phone no problem.
Although I`ve got problems with bookmarks from internet explorer or chrome. Nothing gets transferred?

Actually bookmarks do work, they just import htc bookmarks into chrome as a new folder. then you can add bookmarks to it and re-sync.
Contact and Agenda stay grey!
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to solve a problem for an older college of mine. He is trying to get his HTC desire to sync. No we downloaded the latest HTC 3.0.5422 and it works fine with all the features except the ones he needs for his work. Contacts and Agenda! So if you see the screen they just stay grey and you can't turn them on. Tried pretty much everything and searched a lot of forums but can't seem to find the solution.
In the HTC Sync 2.... had the option of selecting the sync manager so you could select with email program you want the data to sync. But I can't seem to find this function. Or am I looking at the wrong place... Because I read somewhere that you need to open the sync manager to solve this problem but i can't seem to find it.
So any suggestions?

I need your help on this. I have tried to sync both messchle's 6.1 roms (4.01 touch and 4.0 vanilla) at home and at work. Everytime I sync for the 3rd time (1 home, 2 work and 3 back home again) I get this same error (86000107) on activesync.
Googling for the sollution ive tried all options (new outlook profile, new partnerships, hard reset, etc.) which would work for a while (1st and 2nd time) but would again hick up at the third time i would sync.
Today i found this thread on the Hermes XDA forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368821
It appears to be the same problem and trouble in solving it. I am wondering if I am the only artemis user with this problem. Perhaps its a WM6.1 issue like was mentioned in their thread. Is Tom's rom any better so this last suggestion can be invalidated?
Will you help on this? Any info?
It would be a great pity if I would have to downgrade to 6.0...
Buggy Wm 6.1?????
BUMP!
75 views and not a single reply! If this problem is related tot WM6.1 i would have expected a little more response, since there are lots of new roms which come out lately.
Well, ive downgraded tot 6.0 anyway and all the syncproblems are solved again. So my best guess is that 6.1 is BUGGY if you want to sync your PPC on 2 pc's!
have been using the wm6.1 now for as long as it's out, bb5.0 from tom and the vanilla and touch versions from meschle now.
have used active sync on my home pc and on the laptop with out any problem.
USB to PC dashed out, cause dashed it always gave me probs active syncen a few time after eachother.
Twiggerdingo, face the same issue today at office. Fix it removing "Task", then "Contact" from the list of stuff to synchronize. Then, put them back and it works now like a charm.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for your fast replies on my post! Happy to see that you have everything working! I use tasks (approx 100) and appointments (700 total upcomming and last 2 weeks?) and depend a lot on it.
I saw the 'tasks' sollution as well and already tried it of course, but it made no difference. Sometimes it works, but then another day it did not. I do not have the time to solve it this way on a daily basis, and with me, the problem came back about 4 times a week (home and at work, on different occasions).
Hope the will be more info on this - and what causes it. Thanks again for your replies.

Re: active sync encountered a problem on the desktop Support Code 86000107
Was this post helpful ?
Although leaving TASK unchecked will temporary fix the problem, but that means you cannot sync TASK.
If you want to fix it properly, please follow these steps:
1: unplug usb cable if you are still connecting it with your WINDOWS MOBILE
2: Open MS Outlook (I m using 2007 as an example), go to File- > New -> Outlook Data File , and create a new PST file (what ever name/ location)
3: In outlook, Tools ->Account settings, then click Data Files tab, click the new PST file that you had just created, and set as default , then restart outlook
4: delete activesync partnership in both Windows Mobile and in your Desktop
5: Plug the WM to the USB port, and it should sync properly again.
6: restore the backup by using MS Outlook's Import and export function
It worked!
i have same problem, my solution:
first backup all data in phone (contacts, messages, calendar, ...)
check which category is problem (Contacts, Calendar, Task, ...) - in setting remove all checkboxes and let synchronize, then add one category and synchronize go on until you get error
uncheck problem category, delete all data in PC in problem category and let synchronize again then add category back - should be ok

Have you tried this?
Open registry (using something like task manager). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Version and change from ".1.0.0" to ".4.0.2"
Let me know if that works!

This registry edit don't work for me. I have same error for calender sync between outlook 2003 and outlook 2002. Other Task and note can sync without error.
I faced the same problem a few days ago. Im using HTC Prophet and using one of WM 6.1 builds.
86000107
I have the same problem on my kaiser.
However, mine only occurs after syncing at home AND at work. If I reset my device and resync with my home machine only, the problem goes away.
(having read the 1st post again, it may be exactly the same symptom - I will syncing again at work on Monday, and then back at home.
Why are people pointing to thier PCs as the problem when the common thing with this scenario is the wm device itself, and the fact that when I hard reset, it syncs ok again... maybe there's a problem with activesync on the WM device in this multi-sync situation?

Looks like my problem is that I need to sync with microsoft exchange directly at work. I will try syncing at home again tonight and then at work tomorrow to see if the problem has gone...
Right now I deleted partnership between PC and phone and erased all stuff (contacts, notes, calendar and tasks) in Outlook (there were some deplicities anyway so I had to clean it). I created new partnership. During sync it told me that it can not sync 3 notes in calendar so I erased them and did sync again. It finished properly and its working now.
Lets see if it will stay like that.

Nope, sync'd at home and got the same error - and my calendar won't sync now...
What now. If I delete the partnerships, I can sync to either machine ok, but not both...
I wonder if it's a 6.1 problem?
I am now in the situation where syncing at work is fine - I sync direct with microsoft exchange for contacts/calendar/email/tasks and have a work profile for the notes. Great.
Now I need to be able to sync contacts/calendar/tasks/notes at home... I'll keep trying...
It seems that this 86000107 is some sort of catch-all. No-one seems to know exactly what it's all about. Is there any logging I can switch on and look at to identify the error?
same here...
Hi!
i've got the same problem:
at home I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1, Office 2007 SP1 and MS SyncCenter 6.1
at work it's XP pro SP2, Office 2003 SP3 and ActiveSync 4.5
I can sync my Kaiser (Dutty's WM6) with each single of them without a problem, but not with both - as soon i connect it to the second machine an sync starts, it gives the error 86000107
no clue what to try next...
bye,

Had the same error, many people don't flash their roms twice. I decided to give it a shot:
1: Hard-Reset your device
2: At PIN connect device then flash Touch 4.01
3: At PIN flash again Touch 4.01
4: At PIN flash radio 03.08.90
This takes some time, but now my device runs flawlessly! Try it out...

Hello there, IF this works, it would be great! are u for sure to have synced it 3times (i mean at home-work-home) after reflashing twice?
Sure the error doesn't reappear?
I now have the same problem.
After reinstalling Office 2003 and active sync the problem is still there.
I hard resetted the ROM and installed a backup that didnt have this problem, and also this didnt resolve it.
I did see that the problem is with the Calander.
It is a strainge problem because it came out of nothing
Hi all,
Im surprised that there is no proper pc desktop sync program for the HTC android devices.
Im used to backing up everything on my pc such as with Nokia Pc Suite (which is still better than ovi suite in my opinion). Im presuming Samsung, Blackberry all have similar software suites which back up contacts, sms, mms, photos, etc etc.
For legal reasons I need to have backups of my sms messages.
Ive tried using Android Manager (by Mobile Action), but it seems to be very buggy and simple. Also the android manager apk seems to 'hijack' the phone, and not allow selection of disk drive etc.
The only other desktop sync suite I have seen is by Mark/Space, but they dont even have a demo to download to try first!!!
Are there any other programs out there that back up with a viewable GUI that allows you to browse the backed up sms etc
I dont want to backup to a cloud. I need the actual hard copies backed up to the pc for legal reasons. Even better if sms messages could be saved individually in non-editable format.
This is my only gripe with android so far!
Have you tried HTC Sync for Android.
It's available on their website.

Great! will try this 2nyt when I get home. If only HTC put some effort into a desktop suite, not just some crappy backup/sync application.
Thx!
No problem, Yeah I agree that HTC should add some of these features into their software and keep their older phone up-to-date rather than creating new phone, but hey that's common sense I suppose haha.
Hi guys, I'm having DHD for some weeks now, and so far everything is good (except the battery, but with this display it's understandable).
Two days ago the News app stopped syncing. When I click on sync, the icon flashes but no actual sync is made (I can see from the desktop google reader feeds). So I removed app data (from settings -> applications -> manage applications -> running).
Now the News app does not want to start at all. It flashes the screen and then it closes by itself. What can I do to restore the app and make it working again? (I mean without hard reset). I is not in the list of installed apps, can I find it from somewhere and reinstall it?

Had exactly the same problem. I gave up on it and switched to RSSDemon - very good app....
See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834323 fixed by doing factory reset.
I had the same problem...did a hrad re-set last week...getting the same problem this week again! it says updating but doesn't update..I don't want to do a hard reset again..I think HTC should do something about this...i thought moving from a Nokia to HTC I would forget about hard reset...but not so!
So it turns out that this News app is quite buggy It's good that there are some nice alternatives in the Market.

Yeah -- the HTC news app and widget is horribly broken even with the Desire Z -- I tried clearing the user data and now it won't even prompt to add new feeds -- it just sits there with a blank window.
I disabled the sync for it, and now I'm using another news reader.
I also got this today.
Bahh, I'm not going to hard-reset....
Hmm, I now remeber, I downloaded, I think from xda, a zip with all the apk apps from the original rom... going to see if I can find it and install it...
Let us know if the news app is there.

Could it be "EReader" ??

I wasn't able to get my feeds updated, and I couldn't even manage the feeds in the app, getting messages as "unable to unsubscribe" and "unable to change folder". Clearing the cache didn't work, so I cleared the data and ended up with exactly the same issue on my Desire Z as you describe.
I used OSMonitor to check the logs for the app and only then did it dawn on me that it syncs with Google Reader. Apparently, the current blank screen issue is caused by incorrect communication between Google Reader and the HTC News app:

Interestingly, disabling sync for News didn't help the situation and I'm wondering whether and how the HTC News app works without using a Google account.
Anyway, I logged into Google reader on my PC, marked everything up to a day ago as read. This again, did not change anything.
Just for the heck of it, I installed the Google Reader app (News sync still disabled), and gave it access to my account. Lo and behold, when I added the HTC News widget to my home screen, it showed me the proper list of subscriptions (from Google Reader) and it works as it should. Moreover, the HTC News app works again and shows me the right content!
In addition to the above, the widget indeed shows new items as the Google Reader sync is done (HTC News sync is still _disabled_). Now it's just a matter of waiting to see whether the widget not updating issues reoccur, but I'm guessing no
I really love htc news ,I think its got the best eye candy and function compared to all the market alternatives. But it has crashed twice and has fixed with 2nd hard reset. Does anyone know any way htc news can be reinstalled without having to hard reset!

Great discovery. Good thinking. Solved my problem. Do you know which one I sync, Google Reader or sync HTC News, to get the widget to refresh itself?
As an FYI this was fixed with the recent OTA update, or at least it was for me after the update.
I have also had this problem for a while now. Just oday I figured that HTC News wasnt conecting to Google Reader acount so I instaled NewsRob and linked it to my Google Reader account. Now HTC News seems to have reconnected to my Google Reader acount and is successfully updating. Gonna uninstall NewsRob as I like te HTC News app.
Alsp havent bothered updating to the latest OTA as I wanna keep my Eng Boot and full Root.

I'm actually syncing both at the moment, without any noticed adverse effects. TBH, I think they both sync the same data, so either could work (not sure, though).

When reader and news are enabled at the same time, reader will overwrite modifications from news next time it syncs. At least I get a message notification about this when starting news app.
For me I disabled reader sync and just use the news widget & app.

@dinfinity tyvm that fixed my dhd's prob
I just got prompted on my Desire Z this morning that there were two plug-ins and one widget available. LinkedIn and Picasa were the plug-ins and I can't remember what the widget was. Anyway, i tried to download the Picasa plug-in and it started and finished but that was all it did. Didn't install, doesn't show up in the gallery (even after a reboot) and i can't figure out how to get back to the plug-in section in the HTC hub to try again....any ideas? or did HTC pull the update only to bring it back at a later date?
Any thoughts would be good.
I had the same issue but downloaded linkedin. It is not in my app drawer, cannot open it but it is in my manage apps. There is a thread in the HTC Desire HD section on this with a number of people reporting similar problems.
Those aren't apps, they're just account providers.
To use them go to Accounts & Sync and then add new accounts for them.
You'll see them in the photo gallery and in 'people' after you've added the accounts. They're similar to facebook and flickr which come preinstalled.
Thanks rewen, i hadn't thought of that. I went to check it out though and I don't have the account to flag on but the others are there as you said so i think i'm in the right place but just that it didn't install.
So back to where i started, not being able to get back to the plug-in section to re-download.

No matter how many times I try and install the Picasa plugin it does nothing. Also not in the accounts.
I am in the same boat.. I flashed a different rom and want to install those. Not sure where to find those in the htc hub. Just waiting for it to let me know that there are new plugins i guess. I wonder if you can find them on htcsense.com

Did you check the bottom pane in the gallery?
yep, not there. Even did a factory reset like some have suggested.
When I click on install it says "Your item will be downloaded". I don't actually see it download though.... Do you need to be on wifi or something...?
I'm not sure. It will be in the notification bar if it fails though. I've had them fail on me.
Regarding my own mini issue, I just got one of the two to download now.. I wasn't signed into htc hub apparently. Once I signed in it let me know of new plugins, however, when I downloaded linkedin it took me away from the page to get picasa as well. Ugh. Bad design...
I wasn't signed in either but I know I was at one time... I tried to install Picasa first based on you not getting back. It showed in the notification as downloading but now it's nowhere to be found... Not in the gallery, not in accounts... idunno, it's broken.
I don't recall seeing a download status. Just a success or failure. So I guess that means you should at least see a message of success... :-/
Hey guys, FWIW I got my 5th HTC Hub update notification for the Picasa plugin today. It installed it for the 5th time and actually worked this time. Have no idea what is different but it just worked.
I had never gotten any notification regarding the Picasa plugin.
After reading this thread I went to the HTC Hub app, went to settings -> sync, and my sync option wasn't checked for HTC Hub. After enabling it, I got a bunch of new widgets/plugins notifications. I downloaded the Picasa plugin and it showed up in Gallery right away.
Awesome!
I know there may be alot of threads already asking about this, but most of them give extremely vague answers like "Are you sure this or that is the latest version"
So i have a HTC Desire Z, Upgraded to the latest software, not rooted, a UK phone, that is unlocked, I have heard with HTC Sync 3.0, you can sync your itunes playlist directly to the phone.
Both My phone and HTC Sync are up to the latest firmware, yet it doesn't recognise any iTunes playlists, although it can recognise WMP playlist (which i never use)
So i was wondering if anyone had any advice/instruction to get this to work.
Many thanks in advance.
I had that trouble at first...
Try this.
Turn on iTunes
exit HTC Sync
turn on HTC SYnc again
and plug in your phone for HTC sync and it should pop up. Sometimes it takes some time to recognize the playlist.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, although it still doesn't recognise it on HTC Sync.
give me a moment. I remember I had that problem a while back. I was googling this up a long time ago.
EDIT: the only thing I saw this time around is just to update to HTC Sync 3.0 upwards..... and just exit HTC sync completely and restart the program again. Go into the task manager if you can and end the process in general, not just minimize it into the taskbar.
