my device just came in yesterday!
tried to establish the sync with osx
and the missing sync kept telling me cann't istall missingsync.cab to my athena!
anyone who can provide the missingsync.cab file?
also tried my hermes but works perfectly!
It in the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.app file on your Mac. Go to the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.app icon in your Applications/Missing Sync for Windows Mobile folder. - right click and 'Show Package Contents'
Then click on Contents/Resources folder. MissingSync.CAB is in there. Take a copy or drag it to your desktop with the alt key pressed. You then have to get it onto your device - either with an sd card or via bluetooth. Run it and it will install. You will also want to look at this thread.

Can anyone tell me where my ActiveSync has gone since upgrading my ROM to Big Storage?
I want to be able to sync over bluetooth with ActiveSync but I cant find the shortcut to it on my magician!
I have an empty Activesync folder in my windows directory.
The strange part is that all my contacts and mail and stuff have all synched with my magician when I connected via USB to my PC, activesync synched it all?
CONFUSED! Please help.
I noticed the same thing too when I was trying to setup bluetooth sync
in windows folder there is a shortcut called async.lnk and a file called async.asy. The shorcut points to async.asy and if you click it, it will launch activesync.
I put async.link in the windows / start menu / programs folder and unchecked 'Hidden' in the link properties, and it appears in my programs menu now.
Not sure what I did or what I installed but I can no longer click the Explore button on the Active Synch toolbar and explore the files within the phone/storage card from my desktop PC...any ideas on what brings back that functionality?
If you've got any software firewalls installed on your PC, including the builtin windows one, then try temporarily disabling it and see if you can Explore you PDA then.
Tried turning off the firewall and no luck...anyone else have an idea?

Try reinstall activesync on your pc.
Last time I have this problem with activesync v4.1. I install activesync v4.2 beta, and problem solved.

Missing Sync for Windows Mobile
I'm using Missing Sync for Windows Mobile on my OS X MBP. It works great and you can install .cab applications with it as well. Unfortunately you still need a windows machine/install to install the .exe stuff but I've found most software vendors for PPC apps supply a .cab install option now as well.

cool ill track down a PC and try it out. THanks!
You won't need a PC to install Missing Sync, it's a Mac universal binary. What I was speaking of are applications for the PPC device that require you to run an executable on a host PC (windows) to then install the application on to your device. However I just found this on another forum and I think I'm going to give it a try.
File Juicer - one of the features is "Extract CAB files from Pocket PC self installing EXE files" once you have the .cab you can install the application via missing sync.

oh I think i found this once, but 40$ and no trial scared me...
Hi im new to this forum, but it comes highly recommended.
Im having trouble accessing my files on the smartphone through my PC. I had the phone previously before i gt a new one and by going to the my mobile device folder in my computer i could access all the files on the phone when it was connected. Though now on the same phone bt everytime i try to access these files the window itself just closes. I am able to do everything else on the phone but to put mp3 I have to use windows media player and place it on the storage card.
I have tried everyhing from reseting the phone to its original status and upgrading the rom. Please can some one help me as I like to use this way to transfer films and videos to the phone and check other folders. Or if anyone knows of another way to transfer movie files and mp3s to the phone.

It does not seem like there is something wrong with your phone but with your desktop! Try to delete the partnership in ActiveSync.
If you have the know-how you also might remove the drivers for your mobile device manually on your desktop.
uninstall ActiveSync completely and then reinstall (maybe the latest version???)
At least I would try that first ...
How would I remove the drivers from my mobile device manually on the desktop.
I have already unistalled the active sync and downloaded the latest version but i'll try it again.
Thankyou
What phone do you have, what version of ActiveSync do you use, and how do you connect to your PC (USB or BT)?
I have an O2 xda mini, I connect via usb and I have version 4.5 of active sync.
Did you delete the partnership yet? After deleting the partnership, can you connect as a guest and then access your phone via Windows explorer?
I just deleted the partnership and tried going through windows explorer. Once I click on mobile device and go into the folder. The same thing happens as when there is a partnership. I click to go into a folder (any folder) and the windows explorer crashes and the error report comes up asking me to debug or send error report. This is a constant thing no matter what i try
Do you have access to another computer? If so, try using that one. If you don't have any problems, then the problem lies in your computer. I recommend getting a registry cleaner to scan and repair any registry errors.
Hi,
I have a Trinity connected to a windows xp box via active sync 4.2.
Sometime over the last week or so I seem to have lost the ability to explore the trinity from the xp box (and hence copy over files).
When I click the explore link from active sync the explorer window shows my c drive, and the right link copy to device says that the device is not connected.
Synching still works, and I can browse the web from the phone via the link and I can still install programs to the phone.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
thanks
have u tried uninstalling active sync and reinstalling it?
i've had the same on my spv m600 http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
it worked for me.
