I have my XDAII synching with my desktop computer. I'm getting rid of my desktop and replacing it with a notebook computer.
I want my XDAII to now be managed & synched by my notebook computer.
Is there an easy way to transfer over all the synch info, installed program info etc to the Notebook computer?
Thanks,
Tim
i would try to install activesync on the laptop
then i would get
Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\*.*
and also
Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents\My pocketpc
or what ever that last dir is named
of cause some programs will install in all kinda of odd paths before installing to the pda i dont really know good way to get all those along
of cause stuff like contacts and appointmens and such will just be sync'd to the laptop when you connect the xda to it

Hi all,
I am trying to access files on my pc whilst connected through active sync on my pocket pc (win03) I want to be able to view and play media files with any app. I have been completely baffled as I cannot find a way to access files on PC no matter what I have tried. It appears one would have to purchase a Network (wireless) card to be able to see shared docs.
Does anyone know of anything that may gain me access to files without getting a wireless card
Thanks very much

Thanks very much for the link. I did have a little look aroundbefore I posted and I did find options for a bluetooth connection.
I was really after a way to do this through active sync without any netowrking sotware or drivers. When I am at work I use a USB cable to sync and I wouldnt mind being able to access files on my main PC.(movies for beta player)
Thanks again for your reply.
Since I have upgraded my Qtek 9000 with the latest O2 ROM (and deleted all the O2 stuff in order to get more free space), I have had a problem (or at least that is when I think the troubles started).
ActiveSync works for all items except for Files.
Files are deleted from the sync folder on the desktop PC(s), but luckily the files remains on the device. I can put a file in the desktop folder and it is synced to the Universal. Next time I reconnect the file is deleted from the desktop folder but remains on the Universal. I am using 2 Desktop PC’s (both with XP), and they both have the same problem.
Until the upgrade (or sometime near that point in time) file sync with the Universal and the 2 desktop PCs was functioning flawlessly.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Hi all,
I have a notepad, a desktop pc and the Jam ppc.
I'd like to sync and use the Jam's to move or copy and/or keep up to date some files.
FOr example: I download some files from the office (desktop pc)... I'd like to use inthe best way my Jam to store the files and then put them on my laptop (at home). (and vice versa!)
Other case is: I have some files at home and I'd like to work on that file on both the pcs (office-home) and keep them up to date using Jam to move/copy ecc... the info.
Any idea? Can The XP's briefcase help me?
I use a program called MobSync to do that:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=985
Extract from developer:
MobSync is a software allowing any file folder synchronization from the Pocket PC onto the desktop--synchronization which cannot be done with ActiveSync.
So, with this software you can synchronize any file folder on your Pocket PC (not necessarily \My Documents) with any file folder on your desktop (not necessarily \Pocket_PC My Documents either).
You install the program on your desktop and laptop. You can select which folders you want to sync. The files will be sync'd to the SD card of your PDA. When you then sync with other PC (desktop or laptop), those files can be sync'd anywhere on that PC and vice versa.
I've been using it for quite a while now and works great.
Only had my Vario about a week and still learning it, I have connected the wifi fine and connected to my old pc, it synced fine but just got a new PC and what to use this to sync with from now on, it came up that there was a problem syncing as there was already a outlook profile, how do I remove the old PC data and attach it to the new one?
Also is it possible to connect to the PC using wifi rather than theusb cable??

The outlook date is stored in outlook.pst in C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Local settings\Application data\Microsoft\Outlook\
Copy outlook.pst from your old to your new PC, it should work! I recommence you a tool called pfbackup (from MS), it makes automaticly a backup copy of this file.
Thanks for the reply, I've managed to delete the old computer in the connection manager and then synced with the new PC, this is my first internet post on the Vario hope it works lol
hi, ill keep it simple, is there a way to sync my device to my pc through wifi, for faster file transfer.
i heard it can be done on old active sync on xp, but id like to do it over wifi if possible.
cheers
Hi,
since actrivesync 4 there is no possibility any more to sync via WIFI.
HOWEVER you don't need activesync to transfer files. I use total commander to address the lan drive and just copy.
