[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Syncing over a Bluetooth connection

[Guy A. Hoelzer]

I have finally been able to sync my Dell Axim X30 with my Mac at work  
thanks to a (scary) suggestion from the MS support staff to do a hard  
reset of my pda.  I connect my pda with this computer via a USB  
connection.  Now that this problem seems to be solved, I have focused  
on trying to sync the same pda with my Mac at home via Bluetooth, and  
I have not succeeded there.  I know this has been a difficulty  
expressed by many others on this list, so I wasn't surprised when I  
failed to achieve a sync.  My device paired successfully with my Mac,  
but MS was oblivious to the existence of my pda.  I searched the MS  
website for guidance and the only advice I could find there was to  
update the ROM on my pda and hope this would solve the problem.  I  
tried to follow this advice, but the updater file from Dell was only  
available as a .exe file, which seems to require  using a PC running  
a Windows OS to install the upgrade to my pda's ROM.  I am at a loss  
as to the best way to attack this problem at this point.  Any advice?
