The latest updater can be found here: http://www.markspace.com/pocketpc.html If this does not fix the problem, try removing the device from iSync and then adding it again. I can't remember which one worked, but one of them did.

Bruce Miller" Could I get the same by e-mail? Also, questions for anyone? Trying to download and install Activesync 3.7, at least 6 attempts, but every time when it copies the files during the install, it stalls at 92% every time. Same for direct install, or for a saved copy on the hard drive. Any ideas? Also, software installation on PocketPC. Have not been able to accomplish anything there after many hours of attempts, specifically Acrobat Reader. Can't get an internet connection(is PocketPC dialup only?) and Active Sync doesnt seem to work consistently enough to get the job done. Toshiba documentation is terrible. I guess my question is : is it possible to use MissingSync to install software, instead of through Windows/Virtual PC? I am about ready to give up. Thanks in advance!

You should briefly see the beach ball before the ipaq tried to connect. I assume you have Activesync installed on Windows 2000. You might want to try installing it again because it takes ages to install and may not be fully installed. There will be a round icon in the bottom right of the win 2000 screen. When it starts to connect, this will turn green. Once a connection has been made, you will be asked to form a partnership. With missing sync installed, getting Virtual PC working is often an art form. You attach the ipaq and then turn it off to stop missing sync from loading. Then make sure virtual pc is front most and then turn on the ipaq.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the yearly New Years event in the subscribed US Holidays calendar displays in ical and in Pocket Outlook on the correct day. However, in Pocket Informant and in Agenda Fusion, the same holiday displays on the 1st of the 12th. When you open the event, it correctly shows as the 1.1. Does this mean that ical and these 3rd party Agenda apps aren't really compatible? :( Someone else mentioned that I'm not the only one with this problem. I know I probably won't get a reply, but is there any guru reading this that knows how to fix it? I'd prefer to use PI or Agenda Fusion over Pocket Outlook. The only other incorrect event (again, it shows correctly in ical and in Pocket Outlook) is from the subscribed Finnish Holidays calendar, and it's also in that first week in January, on the 6th. Both PI and Agenda Fusion see it as happening on the 6th of the 12th when it is really on the 6th of the 1st. If PI and Agenda Fusion are using Outlook's db, then I really have to wonder what gives? And it's interesting that both programs see it wrongly in the same way. Are the calendars somehow corrupting themselves after each sync? :( I know this seems kind of obscure, but it's one of those little things that effects the accuracy of the sync. :( Thanks, Kim ps - I have reset all devices in isync multiple times (it's a way of life now, given that bluetooth usually disconnects before the sync is done), and it doesn't fix the problem.

"Buy a palm" is not a stupid comment if you consider that the answer to your question is on the FAQ for Missing Sync for Pocket PC and in the knowledgebase at: http://www.markspace.com/support/index.php?mode=view_entry&kbid=207&kbca t=21 See, people get frustrated because instead of trying to help yourself, you stick your hand out to the community unnecessarily. Perhaps if MarkSpace made available a web interface to this list, that would help a little, but only for those people who first try and help themselves. Point made. Also, Mail in Panther is a suitable replacement for Entourage. What does Entourage have that Mail.app in conjunction with Address Book and iCal do not? I'd say the Apple solution here is as good, if not better. Cheers.

The T-3 is not bad, and will handle Entourage. I have a similar concern in that our university uses Meeting Maker as their calendar of choice. Meeting Maker has superb conduits for the Palm, but for the PocketPC, its support is useless. I agonize over my choice to use PocketPC, but in the end, the ability to check email, surf wirelessly, and play great games such as Age of Empires, keeps me using the IPAQ 2215. Until Palm releases something that can come close to the 2215, I am sticking with PPC and Missing Sync. I used Entourage for a couple of years before switching to Mail. While mail may not have the integrated calendar and a few other features, it is far superior when handling IMAP mail, spam, and is less likely to be exploited in a virus attack targeting Microsoft Products. I would be interested to hear what you consider to be so special about Entourage. I have it installed as part of Microsoft Office, but have not actively used it since the first version (Office 98??).

However both the Palm (on Windows) and Entourage syncing on Mac offer one big thing...Exchange calendaring. Although you are limited to your personal calendar, on the Mac with Entourage, you have at least that. Mail and Address book on OSX do have exchange compatibility built in, but the (no pun intended) missing link is Calendar. Snerdware is on the way to making iCal compatible with Exchange via publish and subscribe however it still is a long way. I know Microsoft has gotten the message loud and clear that the current Exchange support in Entourage is a joke. You may see some added functionality in the future, but I believe it is still a long way from what is wanted. >From my personal experiences with a Palm and Dell Axim... The palm is MUCH faster at handling web browsing and mail....it is not bogged down by typical Microsoft overhead. The palm network syncing on Windows works well and almost every time. Active sync has a big problem with DNS if your main workstation is a laptop that has changing IP numbers..for instance I take my laptop home from a docking station. I have one IP number here, then I VPN from home, my DNS gets updated to my VPN address then when I get back to work Active sync craps out.

While the mac is many things, one of the things it is is not-a-windows computer. This should not require software developers to throw out the baby with the bathwater, and I believe standards should be developed to allow cross-platfom communication. But let's face it, the Mac is the Mac. with the exception of Address book, the iSuite programs such as iCal, and Mail are still only 1.x versions with lots of room to grow. I welcome markspace's development for these programs because i don't want to do things the microsoft way. i want my missingsync-pocketpc (which was a gift, btw... not an initial choice to buy a microsoft product) to grow as these iApps grow. this was one of only a few deciding factors in my choice to purchase missing sync over pocket mac.

I'd like to point out that this version is fully localized to French and German, and we would appreciate native speakers of those languages to review the manual, installer, and software for localization issues (ie, spelling errors, missing accented characters, odd phrases or word usage, etc). I believe this beta also has the software (but not manual nor installer) localized to Japanese. We would appreciate comments for native speakers there as well.

I wasn't asking for help. I was hoping someone from MarcSpace may break their vow of silence with "no, never" or "probably soon" as sometimes things are mentioned on lists like these that are not for general consumption. I would have gone Palm if the Navman GPS product was as mature on the palm platform as it is on ppc. GPS is one of the main things I use ppc for. As far as Mail in Panther being a suitable replacement for Entourage - it's not IMHO. I handle way too much email for Mail and it's "thread" feature isn't there yet, breaking after messages are filed. I find myself needing to research old messages, my responses, etc. Mail doesn't handle this nearly as well. Rules in Entourage are also WAY ahead of Mail. Don't think so? Try automatically removing attachments from a message specified by sender. I have a whole library of AppleScripts doing what Entourage does nativly. Ever try to specify which signatures go with which accounts in Mail? How 'bout specifying that replies are automatically sent via the account they are received? BTW, Spam isn't any harder to handle in Entourage than Mail. There are things about Mail I like better than Entourage but they are few and far between. To those who were frustrated: Sorry, hope the rage has subsided... Please get pack to "can't mount" "can't sync" "have an error when..." "events duplicated" etc. Cheers.

I have the Delorme software on my PPC, and it is better than on my palm, but still not even close to the Garmin. When they update it, I might just buy it because it is cool.

Usually more than 200 pieces but not always. Sometimes several hundred from multiple accounts that are used for very different purposes. Actually I did BUY a garmin IQUE 3600. I was one of the first consumers to have one, having been on the waiting list for over eight months. When I received it the device was completely incompatible with the Mac, even with vpc. I had been in contact with Garmin prior to the release and at that time they claimed the palm functions would be Mac compatible with palm desktop but that the map loading features would be pc only. I was OK with this but it turned out NOT to be the case. I sold it on ebay for more than I paid for it and a month or so later missing sync for the IQUE was released. By that time I had moved on to the ppc platform. The IQUE is a pretty cool product and as it evolves I may go that way again. Garmin GPS technology is second to none. Navman is pretty good but the availability of maps and frequency in which Garmin's stuff is updated is much better. The Navman is really only a driving only tool and only good in the US. I have other Garmin products for hiking and boating. I just hope that Microsoft doesn't dominate this market the way their positioned to. IMHO ppc/wince is the only OS to come out of Redmond that's worth anything but Palm should be able to survive.

I thought I would try PocketMac just because I had access to a copy and some features intrigued me. It turns out that many of those features, such as CAB installation from EXE files, do not work anyway and you still need to use VirtualPC for installations. PocketMac definitely has more features and more options, but if you are happy with Apple's slew of applications, then you are not missing anything and Missing Sync is only a few months old. Here is what it offers: Automated file synchronization with a designated folder either to the main memory or to a storage card. You can specify a file to be copied each time the sync occurs if you have a file that is updated on your Mac. I have not found a use for this yet although I am sure it is good for PowerPoint slides. Sync contacts with Apple, Entourage, and Now Contacts. Sync Calendar with iCal and Entourage. When I tried Entourage it went nuts and started playing hundreds of alerts. Sync iCal tasks and Entourage Tasks. sync email with Mail and Entourage. Sync Music and Photos that you put in a special folder in each application. If you delete or rename that folder the sync fails. This works well with iTunes, although I think most people should just by an iPod because the cost of decent size cards are almost the cost of an iPod. The iTunes plugin is OK, but it does a lousy job of scaling the images to fit and you are better of doing this manually. There is a sync Web tab, but I cant seem to get anything to sync. You can sync with Mazingo, except that Mazingo nolonger exists. You can sync Avantgo, but all it does is activate the PocketPC sync. Its convenient, but could be achieved in other ways. PocketMac also has some strange interaction with iSync, but it seems to crash every time I try to use it. It is not clear to me what purpose this serves. It seems that when you run iSync it activates PocketMac, but I am not sure why you would want to do this. The program crashes a LOT more than Missing Sync ever did . Unlike Missing sync which allows the front most app to control the PocketPC, PocketMac seems much more invasive. It is nice to have a Menu bar icon, but disabling the program to run VirtualPC can require use of the Terminal and even that did not work correctly. I finally had to turn off the USB connections to allow VirtualPC to work. Unlike Missing Sync which presents one icon for the PocketPC, PocketMac clutters your desktop with strange icon links to the PocketPC storage that do not always delete themselves when you disconnect. When you click on them, each one launches a little program that controls file movements. For many people, the decision will be made due to Entourage, but with the new version of Office due for release early next year that might changes. PocketMac bypasses iSync and has its own plugins to talk with the various programs whereas Missing Sync seems to work a lot with iSync and probably requires iSync compatible applications, which I assume need to be Cocoa-based. All that remains is to remove PocketMac and reinstall Missing Sync, although I would recommend one application by this company called PocketMacBackup, which allows you to backup the whole PocketPC including flash cards It is under $20 and worth every penny.

It is possible that Bluetooth itself is the problem and not Missing Sync. With enough information, someone on the list might be able to duplicate the error and provide some useful insight. The only reason I asked the question about being mean, is that a few weeks ago you were openly flaming tech support for having a separate email address. I find it usually helps to throw things around the room when I am frustrated although I have been known to abuse a few keyboards as well.

Is there anyway other than Virtual PC to install .exe files with Missing Sync? If not, any good sites with share/freeware in .cab file format? Also, I have an airport network and know you can use 802.11b compactflash in a pocket PC (Ipaq 3765), but can you surf the web through your Mac USB connection on your Ipaq? I don't want to buy the wireless card or Virtual PC if I can help it. It seems to me if you could surf the web on the Ipaq through the Connected Macs USB port then you could download .exe files straight to the Ipaq and run the exe installers from there.

There has been some flaming, and more customers far more irrate than I, but no, I never flamed. Pointing out negative things or perhaps stating things that you do not like...that's not automatically flaming. There's not much for me to say, other than what the screenshot shows. I installed the latest beta since it states it solves disconnect problem, restarted, and then there's the crashed bluetooth-tty process. The Bluetooth icon in the menu bar also no longer displays. I can force quit the process, but that kills bluetooth for TMS. There's no mention of the problem in TMS log file. As far as the log file is concerned, bluetoothtty is listening on its port. Removing and reinserting the dongle (the Apple-sold d-link one) does nothing to solve the problem either. I suppose the only thing that would work is to roll back to 1.02. I apologize if anyone thinks I'm being harsh, but I can't be the only one that is getting frustrated. In fact, checking the ppcthoughts messageboard, I know I'm not the only one who's frustrated. Kim ps - Support has finally answered, although I am writing this before seeing what they have to say. I'll try to not be cynical and think it was only because of comments posted here. :( From tom at bully.demon.co.uk Tue Dec 16 19:24:34 2003 From: tom at bully.demon.co.uk (Tom Kardos) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:35 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Smartphone Message-ID: I have the Orange SPV and have upgraded to the latest beta of MissingSync and the latest ROM update for the SPV - unfortunately the device can not mount or do anything!!

It could be that the problems root is actually located in your bluetooth installation and this latest version is the final straw. It seems the easiest thing for you to do at this point is to switch back to a working version. This is an unfortunate consequence of beta software.

After some investigation, we determined that this is happening because of a bug Apple introduced in Panther (10.3.1, and 10.3.2 for sure) in their WebDAV client. Basically, tar fails anytime you try to tar a directory on a WebDAV server which contains spaces in the name, like say "My Documents". Since we use WebDAV to mount the PocketPC, this problem effects our Backup and Restore scripts. We've been able to reproduce this problem with an iDisk as well, which also uses WebDAV. Because the problem effects iDisks as well as Missing Sync, we are hopeful that Apple will fix the problem soon, although we are looking into other workarounds as well. In the mean time, you can easily backup your My Documents folder by mounting the device and just copying the My Document directory to a location on your local disk. Hope that helps, and as we learn more about either a bug fix from Apple, or a work around, we'll post additional details.

There are slight differences that currently prevent support. We plan to support Windows Mobile for SmartPhones in the future, but not timeframe is available.

On entering the temporary or permanent registration code, the SPV will not mount to the desktop or anything. After taking the SPV out of the cradle and reinserting I'm prompted for the registration code etc. With an earlier beta versions registration worked satisfactory - it has only been a case of not being able to register since (well at least obvious to me) the final release candidate (and 10.3 v19 the current beta).

I have exhausted all options I could think of as to troubleshooting the issue, so I ask for your help. Since I'm not the type of person who diligently performs syncs on a daily basis, I cannot vividly recall what change in my setup may have affected Missing Sync from operating correctly, but I can say that there were a few system updates I've applied since the last proper sync. The last sync was on OS X 10.3.1, with Missing Sync 1.0.2. I have since then gone up to 10.3.2, and also gave Missing Sync 1.0.3b1 a chance, to no avail. Simply put, at the moment nothing happens when I initiate sync from my iPaq. No verbose logs. The sync attempt eventually fails, with no useful information on the mac. One odd thing I noticed while launching the Missing Sync processes from the terminal is that asyncd automatically launches BluetoothToTTY but not USBToTTY. I wonder if this is normal behaviour, or a lead into my problem, and would like to ask for feedback. In detail, I first make sure I stop all the Missing sync processes - sudo killall asyncd BluetoothToTTY USBToTTY Then, I launch asyncd as root in the background - sudo /usr/MissingSync/sbin/asyncd.app/Contents/MacOS/asyncd -l & Finally, I inspect the processes related to Missing Sync - ps -auxwww | grep -i 'missing' The output shows asyncd and BluetoothToTTY, but not USBToTTY. Is this normal?
