I dropped my HTC wizard and it broke. How can I access the calendar that I have activesynced on my PC? It powers on so I could probably connect it to my PC via activesync but I have no idea how I could get the calendar app running on my PC.
I used to own a Sonyericsson p800 once and it had a great utility which let you manage calendar and phonebook items via pc, is there one for windows mobile?
So basically all I want is to view the calendar items via my pc because I have every appointment and important reminder in my phone's calendar

ActiveSync to Outlook
ActiveSync will sync calendar entries, notes and tasks to Outlook.
I had a similar problem with my JAMin. I bricked it while trying to flash with a customized ROM. I installed the WM5 emulator from Microsoft and managed to restore my last backup (SPB Backup) on the emulator and then sync this to Outlook.
(The local phone dealer is unbricking the phone under warranty!)
Where can I find the backups on my PC? I looked in Program Files/Activesync/ but couldn't see anything resembling a database file... Note that I'm not very technical with these things...
EDIT: I have the WM5 emulator and Outlook installed so I just need to find where the activesync backups are located.
UPDATE: Just got activesync working, so although the phone screen is busted, I can activesync it.
So please, anyone, let me know how I can get the phonebook and calendar info into my pc. I can view all the files on the phone via activesync -> Explore.
have you made any prior backups in your pocketpc?
whether you did or did not, here's an alternative method...
with activesync open, choose tools>options, then place a tick mark on contacts and calendars. press ok.
when you click on "sync", the contacts and calendar items will be placed in microsoft outlook. when you open outlook, you can view them, along with inbox, etc.
Ok, tried that and it synced them all... so they should be in my pc now, but where? Which directory??
start > programs > microsoft outlook
Can't see anything, I have Outlook 2002, maybe it does not support WM5? I did get an error when syncing:
"Cannot synchronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected. Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile.
Support code:8503001f"
I have never used Outlook on my PC before...
EDIT: Just to clarify: Outlook opens fine, but all the calendar entries and notes etc. are blank.

i also have outlook 2002... i'm sorry, i cannot help you past this point (i understand zilch about "profiles"). i'm sure there are others who know what to do next.
There has to be a simple way to just yank out the calendar data from my phone just by using Explorer on my desktop pc, right? Please say it's so because now I uninstalled Outlook and I'm getting more errors than before, now I really don't even know where to start.
This is really driving me nuts... I know I have at least four job appointments for tomorrow, and it's now 11pm and I can't get them out of my phone, and I can't sleep because I know that I'm going to be really royally screwed tomorrow if I have to go to work and don't know where I'm supposed to go during the day.
I think I'll revert back to using a pen and paper calendar in the future...
I have to bump this up... I really need help in getting the calendar entries out of my phone.
If this was the first time you synchronised calendar data then ActiveSync should've taken you through the configuration of a new Outlook profile. If not, then you may already have a profile configured. Outlook's mail profiles can be managed from the Mail icon in the Control Panel on your PC.
I can't give you the details, but this is what I can vaguely recall.
There are a few files in the root directory of your phone that can be copied via activesynced-explorer (e.g. the mobile device on your My Computer). The file is something like PIM.xxx. If you have a spare phone to use, you may want to try copying these files into the other phone and see if the calendar stuff is in there or not.
Else, try to do activesync on another computer and transfer all calendar stuff into Outlook. when you have your new phone, just plug the phone in and have everything synced into the new phone.
hey, can someone help me out here...im going CRAZY!!!
I'm running on Vista, Outlook 2007, WM6 PV3.
I get this error message on Windows Mobile Device Center:
View status%ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop.
I've been able to sync just fine but for some reason, I tried today and I got that message. I restarted to phone and computer, deleted the partnership and created a new one. It even erased all my contacts and calender data on the phone. Anyone know how I can get it to sync again without un-installing outlook?
Hi all,
It driving me insane that I can't work it out why Activesync is not syncing my phone.
Here is the situation. Got the phone from my brother. With him it synced fine, with USB cable, with Outlook 2003 and WM6.5.
I have the same setup but Outlook 2007.
What happens is that when it connects, it finds the device, I only set it to sync contact, tasks and calender of outlook. It then says "Looking for changes" and soon after it says "Synchronizing". But then it hangs.
I searched the forum and the internet. I tried reconfiguring, soft resets, installing CompanionLink (software that works through Activesync).
No joy!
I simply want to be able to keep my contacts, calender and tasks from outlook synced. Nothing more.
Any help!!?!
Unistall your firewallproduct and disable the windowsfirewall. Restart and try again.
Wait a very long time. I have a phone were this step need around 10 mins.
Dear Folks, I am having a problem Syncing.
It has worked fine for about a week - but it will now not Sync. Additionally, every time I try to Sync the HD2 puts some 20+ entries on today's date in my Outlook 2003.
Frequently, when I try to Sync it will crash Outlook.
I have uninstalled all "Partnerships" on HD2 and PC. I have uninstalled the ActiveSync software on my Win7 (64nit) and reestablished the partnerships all without success.
If I do not Sync with the Calendar, it will Sync OK, without crashing. However, if I add Calendar to the Sync objects, it will not complete.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

cable sync or bluetooth??
bluetooth with many entries causes problems sometimes (for me)
Activ Synch
I know it sound silly but do you find you can sync with one machine but after synching with the other it will not work with the first?
On win 7 before connecting try opening ActivSynch on the mobile, clicking options and de-selecting all items. Click OK and the re-open options and re-select the sync items. OK again and connect to your pc.
For XP when you have connected the phone open activ sync on the pc and de-select the sync items. OK and then go back in and re-select before ok'ing again.
I know this sounds long winded and is a pain to use but it seems to be when you are synching to 2 machines rarther than just one. I tend to suynch at homeweekly and work daily!

Try running compact on outlook data files. (Tools - account settings - data files - double click the data file(s) to open properties and click compact now.)
Also worth running a scan for errors on the .pst file.
Theres a how-to HERE
Hello
Think about your firewall, that can also cause the problem

I'm having a similar problem when trying to sync with Exchange 2003 SBS SR2.
Emails and contacts are fine and sync well as long as I'm not trying to sync calendar events. As soon as I check the box for calendar events I get an error, although it's not the same error code as the original poster it's the same result.
I'm running WWE 1.66.
Dear Folks,
Now working - I had corruption on my PST. Used "samsamuel's" idea and then upgraded to Outlook 2007 and then archieved all old emails and calendar events older than 14 months.
Now works!

New guy here. Greetings to all.
I recently had to change my laptop due to hard drive failure. I managed to recover most of the data and exported all my settings.
After I installed outlook 2007 I imported all my settings and emails. I tried to sync with windows live, but no success.
I found some info saying I had to install 'outlook connector'. I did so, but still no luck. I did the error check with outlook, no probs detected there.
After a while I realised that my HTC could not sync with outlook either. It said it had synced, but nothing had changed. I reinstalled activesync, no luck. I reinstalled outlook, no luck. I reinstalled outlook connector, no luck.
I'm not keen on outlook and use windows live instead, but I am sick to death of windows no allowing me to use windows live email, calendar etc with activesync. Is there any programme that allows importing of outlook and 'live' data, syncing with windows live and can sync with my HTC Touch HD?
I've spent ages trying to find solutions, but I'm not the best at this sort of thing.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
