78 Synchronizing Information With Your Computer
Change which information is synchronized
You can change the information types and the amount of information to
synchronize for each type either on your device or your PC. Follow the steps
below to change synchronization settings on your device.
Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from
your PC.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options.
2. Select the check box for any items you want to 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.
3. To change synchronization settings for an information type, for
instance, E-mail, select it and tap Settings.
You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of
information to download, and more.
Notes • Some information types such as Favorites, Files and Media cannot be
selected in ActiveSync Options on your device. You can only select or clear
these items from your PC’s Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.
• 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 device 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 problem
When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases,
the PC may disconnect the connection with your device in favor of the
Internet or network connection.
If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC, then
clear the Enable advanced network functionality check box. This makes
your PC utilize a serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when serial USB
connection is used.
