64 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 > More > USB to PC
, then clear the Enable
advanced network functionality check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize
a serial USB connection with your phone.
