Synchronization with Windows Mobile

I got my new computer last week... A brand new MacBook Air!
After working professionally with computers for many years, i decided to leave the domain of Windows and buy a Mac... This leaves me...
Completely disappointed!
When trying to synchronize my cell (a Sony-Ericssion Xperia, X1) I find that there are MAJOR issues concerning synchronization. Yes, there´s a third party program that calims to do the job - Missing Sync. The name itself would make anyone suspicious, and yes, it is the missing link... Totally un-reliable and actually succeeds in synchronising most parts wrong. Finally you find out that it is uncapable of synchronizing emails at all, even if you are running Microsofts Entourage...
Guess that no people that´s a part of the holy Mac church likes to talk about this?
Integrational issues between Mac - Windows doimain is not at all solved, and I am very unhappy.
How can I synchronize my X1 with my Mac, similar to the functionality in Windows?
Please help me!
Kind Regards,
Rickard

Please have a look at the sales pitch for Mac on the web site, stating that there are no problems what so ever when it comes to integration with Windows.
Which integration issues are you referring to? Macs & Windows PCs can co-exist on networks perfectly, they can share files, share documents from the same applications. What integration issues are you having?
Yes, X1 is a rather new cell phone, but not at all the first cell using win mobile
No, but the first from Sony Ericsson, so it's not going to be exactly the same as previous Windows Mobile devices from other manufacturers. With a new implementation of Windows Mobile, on new hardware, from a new manufacturer, there's bound to be issues to resolve. Especially as the third-party developers do not have access to the same resources as the OS or phone manufacturers themselves do.
Why don't you complain to Microsoft or Sony Ericsson because they don't provide Mac users with the same tools to use their products as they do for Windows users? They're potentially missing out on an increasing market.
Blackberry users have the same problem, so it seems.
Blackberry owners have two options for syncing with Mac - one from RIM themselves, and one from Markspace.
Mac has an own distribution of Office, nice but it is not compatible with any other Office pckage when it comes to data migration...
Yes, it is. The current Mac versions of Word, PowerPoint and Excel and share files with the current Windows versions. As stated on Microsoft's web-site, +"Office 2008 for Mac and the 2007 Office suite for Windws share the same default file format"+
In my day job I have to share files with Windows users all day long... no problems at all.
it is most unfortunate that I cannot leave the windows domain behind me
But, you've just bought a brand new +Windows Mobile+ based device - so that would suggest you don't really want to leave Windows behind completely... Why would you choose that over an S60, Symbian, OS X or other non-Windows-based device if you want to leave Windows behind?
Stating "you can install windows on it" is not helpful.
Well, it is if you want to use devices which are currently only supported under Windows. You have no other choice.

  • Compatibility with Windows Mobile 5.0 ?

    Does anyone know if Flex apps would work on PocketPCs, ie.
    using Windows Mobile 5.0?
    I haven't purchased one yet, so I can't test.
    At this link, Adobe identifies Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/
    This page identifies FlashLite 2.1 which seems to be based on
    Flash Player 7
    but includes Action Script 2.0 support:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/
    Does anyone know for sure? We'd like to do some monitoring
    & reporting
    in Flex & make it available on the go for people, but
    don't want to go buy the phones
    until we know it is possible.
    Thanks

    If so, then Flash is installed fine. Note, though, that Flash
    content will
    only play when viewed in a browser (html file) or when
    embedded in an
    application using ActiveX or similar. So if you are tryting
    to play a swf
    file, that won't work.

  • Pocket PC 6700 With Windows Mobile Java ISSUE

    Somebody Please help me! I bought a Pocket PC 6700 With Windows Mobile 5.0. I am trying to run an ".aspx" java supported extension for my Scottrade streaming quotes screen on my Pocket PC. Is there ANY java programs/downloads/patches, anything that will launch this app. with what I got? Im looking for a solution to this problem. Ive came across some research of it being a liscensing problem but I would think this kind of technology would be taken advantage of at this point with these new pocket PC's

    Hello,
    I've had my PPC 6700 (Windows Mobile 5.0 pone/PDA) for a little over a year now, and I am in the same boat. I am using Bank of America for investing/trading and can not use the online streaming quotes, which is a java based tool for real time stock quotes....
    I also have done plenty of research with no success. I have tried several Windows Mobile 5.0 compatible browser like: opera, netfront, etc. but noting seams to do the trick.. Is there a version of Sun Java for Pocket PC's?
    Can anyone help?

  • JVM & HP iPAQ with Windows Mobile 2003 SE

    Hi,
    what kind of JVM can I use on HP iPAQ with Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I don't know what configuration should I use, if CLDC or CDC.
    Thanks for replies.

  • ISync with Windows Mobile 6

    Hi,
    Does this work?
    I use an HTC Touch and want to take a backup of my contacts to my Macbook.
    Thanks.

    iSync does not support the synchronization of Windows Mobile devices.
    For such support, you must use a third-party application: the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

  • Please Help! How do you sync sub contacts with windows mobile

    I have a Treo 700wx (windows Mobile 5.0) that will not sync my sub contacts from outlook (windows XP Pro)!  I have been able to sync all other email and the parent contacts file but can not find the sub contacts.  I am in sales and have used sub cntacts to organize sellers, buyers, others and really need this to be on my phone.  Can anyone help me with this?  Thank you!
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Alltel)

    i will just assume that what you mean about the sub contacts are the sub-folders in your outlook.
    im sorry to tell you that subfolder synchronization is not supported by the activesync of windows mobile.
    you need to install a third party application to have it sync to your phone.
    the application that's being used some is the pocketmirror for windows mobile.
    it can sync public folders, subfolders and business contacts folders.

  • 700w not recognized by Vista with windows mobile device center

    please help:
    i have a treo 700w that doesn't want to consistently connect to machine I am working on. when it works (rarely), it works fine, when it doesn't there is no explanation. I have restarted both computer and phone, and I can't seem to get a connection made. 
    Further I tried to uninstall/reinstall the windows mobile device center, i have removed the sync profiles on both my computer and phone, but nothing is seeming to work. I find it interesting that vista recognized my Smartphone USB device (it shows in the device manager), but that windows mobile device center doesn't show that anything is connected. 
    I am connecting via USB, but would be happy to connect via bluetooth, but when i try that approach, it only offers headset/wireless stereo (i'm looking for calendar/contacts/etc). 
    any direction would be wonderful - i have searched in google and subsequent pages for an hour already, and I'm thinking someone must have a better way. 
    Thanks,

    PS - for those who are forum administrators, the registration process sucks: the password limitations are oddly strong for a simple forum like this, and when you don't put in a proper password from the get-go, it clears your prior selection of device/os/agreement registration, so when you fix the red flags (the password) and submit, it (and only then) tells you that you've forgotten to answer the questions below (that you had already answered before you were thwarted by the password reqs). sigh. 
    Post relates to: Treo 700w (Verizon)

    Hi AlanG,
    I have tried multiple USB connections, and do not have another sync cable. No luck. 
    Though, your post gave me an idea and that was to use a safety pin to scrape the contacts at the bottom of the phone. I keep the phone in my pocket most of the time, so there was some visible grime, though i would have guessed that the connection could have been made (it wasn't that grimy, just not shiny). 
    The other thing that was interesting is that when it was plugged in previous to the cleaning it shows the device connected to be a " smartphone usb sync ". Post cleaning, it now shows as a " PocketPC ". I'm not sure what the difference is, nor if I should be hoping that it reads "treo 700w", but hey, can't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? 
    So, that, in addition with removing all partnerships on both the machine and the treo (and after restarting my phone) it finally connected. 
    Wow. What a remarkable pain.  Let's hope it keeps working.

  • Issue with Windows mobile accessing to Controller web authenticate page

    I have an issue with my customer that use Windows mobile that can't access the web authentication page in the WLC using IE. The error message that it display is "The page can not be found. Website can not be authenticated". When the browser is trying to load the "https://1.1.1.1/login.html". It is workable with opera browser on the same mobile phone. I have try to regenerated the certificate in the WLC but it does not help.
    WLC model is 4404, firmware version :4.2. Any one have a solution to this?

    In version 4.2 on the controller SSLv2 is disabled by default. IE by default doesn't do SSLv3. Either enable SSLv2 on the controller or SSLv3 on the client.

  • WRT160N Won't Connect With Windows Mobile Device

    I had another wireless router for years that connected almost instantly to my Windows Mobile 6.1 handheld device.  I switched to the WRT160N and it works great with my wireless laptops.  The device does not even show up in my available device lists on my Windows Mobile phone with wi-fi.  I tried manually connecting and it does not work.  I tried all of the other security settings, it does not work. The phone manufacturer (not the sevice provider which is Verizon) has acknowledged that they are having calls only about Cisco branded routers.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I had exactly the same problem. Tried the live technical support chat but didn't solve the problem. Resorted to random changing of settings and discovered if I changed the router setting Wireless -> Basic Wireless Settings - Network mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed' my Windows Mobile 6.1 device found the network and happily connects with WPA2

  • HP iPAQ 5450 with Windows Mobile 2003 802.1x and certificates.......

    This maybe a bit off topic but I am struggling trying to get some answers out of HP.
    We have some HP iPAQ 5450/5550's all running Windows Mobile 2003 - to use 802.1x Authentication with PEAP or TLS-EAP we need certificates installing on the PocketPCs. We have a Windows 2000 Active-Directory integrated Certificate Authority that publishes certificates to W2K machines OK - initially HP didn't include any way of importing Certificates but have released the SDK Certificate Enrolment Tool (enroll.exe). We have tried for several days to get a certificate but to no avail and we are struggling to find any information out. Has anyone on here managed this? If so how?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Obviously the WindowsCE devices can't be 'members' of the domain as they would need W2K to do that (create a computer account etc). The enrollment tool is available from HP's website (software & drivers etc). Once I installed the enroll.exe tool I modified the enroll.cfg file to request a 'computer' certificate from my CA, this is now installed and appears in 'Settings, System, Certificates'. I have yet to actually test this with a Cisco AP as I just can't get my hands on one.......

  • Synchronization with Windows Live Mail 2011

    I'm not able to synchronize my Curve 3G with Windows Live Mail 2011. When I set up the Blackberry Desktop Manager program the only alternatives that are showned me to synchronise the contacts are Yahoo and Outlook Express, not Live Mail. What can I do? Thank you in advance for your help 

    Found this with a quick Google search:
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose Sync Contacts on your Windows-based PC, or Sync Contacts with Address Book on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    * Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    * Windows Address Book (Windows XP and Windows Vista)
    * Address Book (Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later)
    * Microsoft Entourage 2004 or Microsoft Entourage 2008
    So it looks like the answer is no, you can't sync your contacts with Windows Live Mail 2011.

  • Does isync sync with windows mobile 5? if not whats best phone

    hi all,
    i have a htc260 windows 5 smartphone. will this sync succesfully with mac tiger? if so...how? i am currently struggling with mising sync...which is really hit and miss. if this cant be done succesfully which is the best smartphone platform (except iphone as not available in uk)...going nuts. thanx in advance
    shaun

    iSync does not support any Windows Mobile OS device, including the latest Windows Mobile 5 or 6 platforms.
    I'm not sure why you're having a hit or miss experience with the Missing Sync for WIndows Mobile: even with an operating system as difficult to interact with as Windows Mobile, the process of setting up and synchronizing such a device should be straightforward. Have you attempted to contact Mark/Space for assistance?
