I'm still having a problem when mounting my pocket pc (dopod 686). Any files with unicode (chinese) names show as ??? and worse than that, any folder with such names shows as empty, even when not.

No problem on the PC, but when mooving to the mounted iPAQ the copy is done in seconds, and then in the copy dialog all I get is the barbershop rotating stick and a message "Finishing copy of ", where is the name of my file. Now this goes on for ever, and I cant start anything else. I cant reboot, logout or anything. I have waited for 20-25 minutes and then finally resolved to restart. As I see it the missing-sync deamond is at hand here. So anyone out tthere with the same problem. Ohh, and another q. I want to buy a 1Gb flashcard so I can watch a movie on the train to and from work. How do I copy my files directly to the external filestore on the iPAQ?

The answer was that MS looks at the amount of free RAM memory available and won't copy files larger than what's free in RAM. So fill up your RAM, stick in a 1 G memory card, and it won't do you a bit of good as MS can't copy to it (yet). The problem is being worked on.

Encourage them to support filesystems other than HFS. I took a look at the reviews on versiontracker and a number of people mention it being unable to work with AppleShare, network volumes, etc. >From a technical standpoint, our implementation looks to backup software much like a .Mac mounted volume (which I presume IMSafe also doesn't work with ;-).

So I was posting in the chance that someone on the list may have already tried this and could provide some feedback. It's great that MarkSpace would refund my money if the app doesn't work within 30 days. However, since I don't have a Jornada 6xx or 7xx now, I may not have the same luxury of returning it if MS-PPC doesn't work. So would be out some significant $$$.... Hence my request for info....

It would update iCal and Address Book from the Tosh, but it would not update the Toshiba, quitting with the message "An inconsistency has been detected and discarded. The data on this computer has not been damaged. You should Reset All Devices from this computer and merge the changes to make sure all computers are in sync". I finally plucked up the courage to do this today and all seemed to go well (although I need to check the details in the Organiser). However, the next time I synced, it asked me to re-set all devices again! Could this be something to do with using bullets and handwritten notes in PocketInformant?

I've been using a 5550 successfully everyday without problems. You might try: 1) Turn on verbose logging 2) Launch UI app before connecting 3) Pull device out of cradle and put it back in 4) Send the log file (View Log from application) to our support staff. If you're in the San Diego area, I'd be more than happy to take a look, but we've been unable to duplicate your problem.

Maybe a difference between getting the whole database versus doing a series of record reads. This is not my specialty. I'm just blowing speculation at the list. The beta works fine for me.

OK -- doesn't seem to make a huge difference here. Reading is the big slowdown, from what I can tell. (Here, it spends approximately two-three minutes reading my 545 contacts, and 1-2 minutes reading my ~45 todo and ~200 events/appointments.) That's almost five minutes of sync time just reading. Sync time for both versions is approximately 8-10 minutes, end-to-end (with other devices in there), in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. -- Dave Nanian From jim.strong at geno.me.uk Fri Sep 5 20:25:52 2003 From: jim.strong at geno.me.uk (Jim Strong) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:28 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] 1.0.2b1 In-Reply-To: <81A04055-DFCC-11D7-917C-000393D74812@shirt-pocket.com> Message-ID: <61A34DE9-DFCE-11D7-AE80-000A95902F7C@geno.me.uk> My database sizes are *very* similar to your own - and I have just done a complete sync cycle in 4 minutes!!!

Based on Scott's description (thx), I'm guessing that a lot of desktop changes would mean a larger record set update to the PPC. On that note. Some times I get warnings that more than some % of my items are going to be modified by this sync. Whatever changes it makes, they are not readily apparent. All seems well. My gut says that that's how the syncing handles exceptions in recurrences and other off by one "set" problems. Anyone have any insight?

Why? I have been using my HP5555, TiBook(G4)& USB to sync successfully for some time (I was one of the early pains who could not get the HP5555 to work). Recently it stopped working. After this started happening (due to lack of CAB files) I tried to download some new programs using a Windows XP system I have and guess what - yes connection to this has become erratic as well. Even Activesync is having issues. I can only get it to work 5 out of every 10 attempts on the XP system and then only if I get the HP5555 in the cradle just right. Mac USB seems 'more' sensitive to what every is causing my connection problem than Windows is (could be hardware Mac verses Toshiba). I have spoken to HP but they want to replace the device (why not repair I ask myself, is this a known HP55XX problem) but I'm unwilling to be without it for the time the replacement takes, plus I don't want the headache that causes with re-loading and authorising some programs I use. The lack of USB is not impacting me as I can sync via BT and WiFi (hope install via BT is now working as thats the only killer I've seen so far with BT, I've not had a chance to checkout 1.02b yet). I prefer doing that way anyway - it seems faster and save me carrying another cable when away from home.

We now know why it doesn't work, and what needs to be done. However it requires cooperation with Orange, and we need to find out how much $ and time that will take to decide if it is reasonable for us to do. The issue is that Orange locks the devices from talking to software that is not "signed" (ie, has been digitally signed with a certificate they have issued). Obviously Microsoft jumped that hoop with ActiveSync on the PC. Another route is to "unlock" the phone, but we haven't yet seen a way that is 100% reliable to do, nor is easy for a lay person to do. We doubt that Orange would be excited to tell customers how to unlock their phones, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to do it in the first place. At this point, it is possible that we could find that there is no cost effective way for us to support the SPV (ie, that we would never sell enough copies to cover the engineering and signing costs). We will continue to research it, and hopefully we will find a way. Brian -- _____________________________________________________________________ Mark/Space, Inc. voice 408-293-7299 540 N.

When I connect via bluetooth with my PowerBook G4, then mount the PPC and try to transfer a file from the PPC to my Mac, MS with lock up. I have noticed that when I use the bluetooth manager on my ipaq and then click on the status of my ActiveSync connect while trying to transfer the file, it continuously says that it is "connect" then "disconnect" very rapidly. If will eventually disconnect and then lock up MS on the Mac. I have to "force quite" MS and restart the mac. The files I have been trying to transfer have ranged from just a few KB to MB in size. Any ideas of what the problem could be? I do not use my cradle at all, but this seems to be the only stable connection to transfer files.

Security Policy 4097 needs to be set to 1 if you know how to do this. While 1.0.2b1 has a bug in it that prevents the SPV from syncing, the next beta will have this corrected. -- Scott Gruby Please contact support@markspace.com for assistance with Mark/Space products.

I am using a PowerBook G4 with Bluetooth built in (12" model). I do not install programs using missing sync. What I was talking about was transferring files from the PPC to the Mac using bluetooth. Basically, Active Sync disconnect in the middle of the transfer which locks up Missing Sync. Like I mentioned earlier, when I look at the status monitor in the Bluetooth Manager, it continuously says "connected" and then "disconnected." It only does this when transferring files... not when syncing via iSync. The signal is "just right" during both occasions. After the lockup, I end up having to Force Quite MS and then restart the PowerBook. If I just try to relaunch MS after the lockup, it just sits in the dock bouncing... it does not open. If I try and repeat the procedure after a reboot, I get the same results.

Not only that but birthdays entered into the Pocket PC contacts list do not sync the other way either! Not sure where the problem lies but would be nice to have the facility. You can import birthdays in the AddressBook in to iCal using third party software such as BirthdayCal. This enables you to decide how the birthday is presented in iCal. Once in iCal Missing Sync takes care of the rest, you can adjust the appointment entry on the Pocket PC or iCal and the changes will be picked up when you next sync the two together. My problem is that for me a birthday is an all day event (even longer if it's mine!) and these can't sync with my Sony Ericisson T610! Pocket PC is fine, but Sony let me down with their software by the looks of things!!! Graham On Monday, September 8, 2003, at 05:31 pm, Jim Weller wrote: > I think that's normal.

Most of these seem to related to way iCal/Address book and PocketPC's work - basically in different ways. On the second issue I often wonder if people are expecting MarkSpace to solve all the issue with iCal/Address book? Most of the issue appear iCal/Address book related not basic syncronization related (eg. Birthdays are handled differently by PPC and Mac SW).In the pre-launch/early beta days there was a lot of talk about an Entourage conduit (to be developed at a later date if needed). What are the current plans for this - it seems to me this would help solve some of these issue as sync would now be Microsoft to Microsoft. I'd certainaly take such functionality instantly (I'd even pay) as I would prefer to use Entourage due to its greater functionality - I only use iCal and Address book because of syncing to PPC and have no other choice (syncing Entourage to iCal/Address book and then iCal/Address book to PPC is a no go).

Inside of it in Contents/SharedSupport, there is a missingsync.dll. Did the crash happening during the mounting or only during the syncing? Those are 2 different operations, so we need to know in order to track it down. If it happens during mounting, does it happen if you mount the device manually? If it doesn't happen during mounting, then you don't have to bother with the dll (the dll allows us to determine the correct amount of free space on your device and cards and allows for the iTunes plugin to work properly). -- Scott Gruby Please contact support@markspace.com for assistance with Mark/Space products.

Otherwise, it would likely be in the iSync prefs instead. So it would make sense that any other iSync conduit is skipped, as this option pertains only to the .mac conduit.

If it does, then there is an issue with 1.0.2b1 (in which case you need to send in a complete report to support@markspace.com including device, device OS version, verbose logs, version of AvantGo, how you connect to the Internet, etc.). If the problem does not go away, then there is a problem with your setup not caused by the new version. -- Scott Gruby Please contact support@markspace.com for assistance with Mark/Space products.

In that case, could an "autosync if docked" option be added to the PPC conduit? Thanks. Ashwin.
