Hi,
Please file a complaint with your OEM regarding the way Windows Mobile
Device Center synchronizes. Also, you can e-mail mswish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to
ask for the features to be restored.

Unfortunately this does not help. This all worked before I upgraded to
Vista
- including the ability to select and resolve conflicts at the item level
and
handle completed tasks across muliple PCs and the device. I have also had
other people contact me since I posted this - I'm not the only person
having
these issues.

Hi,
Here's some answers:
1. WMDC does not allow the user to make decisions on a per conflict
basis.
You can only decide which one will be overwritten - the PC or the device.
This is the same for ActiveSync 4.x as well.
2. As for the tasks, keep in mind that the tasks are synchronized from
the
device to the first PC when they appear completed so they won't be there
again to sync to the second PC.
Have you called the OEM of your Windows Mobile device for support? They
are
responsible for supporting you with WMDC and ActiveSync.

Hi - I'm having many issues with the new Sync Center (Windows Mobile
Device
Center) software being used with Windows Vista. I'm thinking that it
has
to
do with software compatibility issues when syncing between the
following:
1. My Home PC - Windows Vista w/ Sync Center & MS Outlook 2007
2. My Work PC - Windows XP SP2 w/ ActiveSync 4.5 & MS Outlook 2007
3. My HP iPAQ PDA - Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition w/ Active Sync
I'm wondering if others are having similar issues and/or if I'm just
missing
something obvious (maybe a software upgrade needed on my PDA?). This
all
worked fine before I upgraded my home PC from XP SP2 to Vista a few
weeks
back. Here's a summary of the issues that I'm hitting:
A. Conflict resolution - when I update items on different devices &
sync
to
my home PC, Sync Center does not detect the conflicts. Instead it
overwrites
the items on my mobile device and is losing my updates. It does not
allow
me
to chose what version to keep.
B. Sync Center deletes calendar entries when rescheduling - if I
reschedule
a calendar item on my work PC or PDA, my home PC has issues and deletes
the
items completely!
C. Sync Center skipping/overwriting PDA tasks when moving target
dates -
again Sync Center blows away PDA changes & replaces them w/ old copies
from
Vista PC; does not warn of conflict & allow for choice to resolve
D. Sync Center not handling closed tasks - if I close a task on my PDA
or
work PC, it does not get synced to my home PC - despite the fact that I
have
set Sync Center to sync all tasks (including closed items)
E. Can't close/complete PDA tasks after syncing w/ Vista pc - PDA runs
out
of memory w/ nothing else running; to work around this, I need to sync
the
PDA with my XP SP2 machine, which appears to reset some flag on the
device
to
fix the issue.
F. Can't have blank start date for tasks on PDA after Vista sync - PDA
sets
start date = complete date & can't change 1 without affecting the
other;
again to fix this, I need to sync the PDA with my XP SP2 machine, which
appears to reset some flag on the device to fix the issue.
I am an IT professional and have been in this industry for about 15
years.
While I'm not surprised that there are some issues (it comes with the
territory for being an early adopter of new technology), I'm still
shocked
that there are so many issues with this and Vista in general. It kind
of
reminds of what things were like with Windows ME! I'm kind of wishing
that
I
had just waited for Vista SP1 to come out first before upgrading.
Please
help.
Thanks,
Chris
