Hey Guys,
Did a search, but couldn't see this specific issue come up.
Been trying to sync my Google Calender all morning but even though all the boxes are ticked and the little circle arrows show up next to the sync section, the phone just won't start syncing.
Never had a problem with this at all before and it's now becoming very frustrating.
I have no other syncs activated apart from the google calender and it's not working.
Anyone come across this issue or know a solution?
Problem solved.
Seems it wouldn't sync whilst I had low memory symbol up. (13.8mb available) so deleted app and now working.
Bloody annoying!
That's my main gripe with this phone. I used my hero for like 4 months and never saw low memory. First day I got my Desire, low mem.
Had to wait until I was willing to root, so now I have Modaco with APPS2SD+
Does anybody use HTCSync 3?
I tried it:

But the Programm says that theres no device connected
i wanted to use features like the itunes sync
can anybody help?

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.

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.
Regards,
R

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.

Ok still crashing after some time.:-(
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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 have just installed Sync 3. Same problems, contacts and agenda stay inactive.
Hi Guys,
I've got a Desire with Froyo and a new work laptop with Windows XP. I want to sync my contacts and calendar from my laptop to the phone.
I have installed a few different versions of HTC Sync and none of them have worked well. All of them have allowed me to sync up the first time, then subsequent syncs have not worked. In other instances, calendar items have been repeated 3 times over on either device or laptop, and contacts have been repeated with the phone numbers fiddled with.
I am beginning to suspect that the root cause of my problem is the fact that my laptop belongs to work (large multinational company) and the virus checker (McAfee) cannot be turned off prior to installing Sync. I have admin rights but the virus software security is understandably tight.
My questions are:
1. Why do you have to turn off the virus checker prior to installing Sync?
2. What symptoms would be exhibited by Sync having been installed without disabling McAfee?
3. Is there an indirect hack for me to get around this issue? ie. Copying files directly into certain folders? Or is the virus checker a hard obstacle in my way?
Cheers
*Bump*
No reply yet from HTC on this issue, so hopefully someone around here can help??
Got a reply back from HTC and they said I have to turn off the anti-virus software for the installation to work. As usual, no other information/help from them....
So I'll take a different approach.. Is anyone aware of third-party syncing software/apps that I could use instead of HTC's proprietary method?
ive installed htc sync maybe 10 times and never turned off my av suite with no problems lol
I heard it now possible to sync music to the cloud. How do i get this working?
I have a rooted desire running Gingervillian 0.9.
Thanks
Vince
People seem to think it is new but it is now. You use the Honeycomb music player and you can sync. The honeycomb music player has been around since last year, way before it got posted as XDA news cause I had it working last year with syncing it to the cloud.

That would be my fault "thinking" it was new, but still instead of moaning about it you could of actually answered the guys question....
In answer to your Question vjmcdonnell you need to be on wifi to sync with the cloud, im not actually sure how long it will take to sync as i dont have wifi to try but maybe Meaple can shed some light as he had it working and syncing.....
Got it working by updating to Gingervillian 1.4 and installing the original music app from the villian setup. Now to have a play.
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.
