60 Synchronizing Information with Your Computer

Change which information is synchronized

You can add or reduce the types of information to synchronize between

your phone and PC.

1.

Before changing synchronization settings on your phone, disconnect

your phone from your PC.

2.

On your phone, select Start > ActiveSync.

3.

Select Menu > Options.

4.

Select or clear the items you want to synchronize or not synchronize.

If you cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check

box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

5.

To customize settings for an item, select that item and select

Settings. Settings are not available for all items

.

Notes

The check boxes of the Favorites, Files, Media, and OneNote items are always

grayed out in ActiveSync Options on your phone. You can only select or

clear these items from Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your
computer.

A PC can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile®

powered devices, but a device can have sync partnerships with at most two PCs

only. To ensure that your phone will synchronize properly with both PCs, set up

the second PC using the same synchronization settings you used on the first PC.

Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.

Troubleshoot sync connection problems

When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases,

the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your phone in

favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, select Start

> Settings > Connections > USB to PC, then clear the Enable advanced

network functionality check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a serial USB

connection with your phone.
