74 Synchronizing Information
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 computer’s Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync.
• A computer can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered devices, but a device can
have sync partnerships with at most two computers. To ensure that your device synchronizes properly with both
computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the first computer.
• Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
Troubleshooting sync connection problem
In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the
connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, tap Start > Settings, and then tap All Settings. Tap Connections tab > USB to PC, then clear
the Enable faster data synchronization check box. This makes your computer utilize a serial USB connection
with your device.
5.5 Synchronizing via Bluetooth
You can connect and synchronize your device with the computer using Bluetooth.
Note To connect and synchronize your device with a computer via Bluetooth, your computer must have a built-in
Bluetooth or installed with a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
To synchronize with a computer via Bluetooth
Set up Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer to synchronize through
Bluetooth. See the program’s Help for instructions.
Make sure that Bluetooth on both your device and the computer is turned on and set to visible mode.
See “Bluetooth Modes” in Chapter 9 for details.
If this is the first time you have connected to this computer via Bluetooth, you must first set up a
Bluetooth partnership between your device and the computer. For more information about creating a
Bluetooth partnership, see “Bluetooth Partnerships” in Chapter 9.
On your device, tap Start > ActiveSync.
Tap Menu > Connect via Bluetooth.
Note To conserve battery power, turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
5.6 Synchronizing Music and Video
If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, set up Windows Media®
Player on your computer to synchronize music and video with your device.
Other than selecting the Media information type to be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must
be set in Windows Media® Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must do the following:
Install Windows Media® Player Version 11 on your computer. (Windows Media® Player 11 works only in
Windows XP or later versions).
Connect your device to the computer with a USB cable. If your device is currently connected using
Bluetooth, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Set up a sync partnership between your device and your computer’s Windows Media® Player.
See “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11 for details.
