2E. Synchronizing Information With Your Computer 85
Specifying What Information Is Synchronized
You can change the information types and the amount of information to synchronize for each
type on either your device or your computer. Follow the steps below to change
synchronization settings on your device.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap
Menu > Options.
2. Select the check box for any items you want to 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.
3. To change synchronization settings for an information type (for example,
E-Mail), select it,
and tap
Settings.
You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to
download, and more.
Troubleshooting Sync Connection Problems
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 > All Settings. Tap Connections tab > USB to PC, and then clear
the
Enable faster data synchronization check box. This makes your computer use a serial USB
connection with your device.
Note
Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from your computer.
Notes
• Some information types such as Favorites, Files, and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync
Options on your device. You can select or clear these items only 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 will synchronize properly with both computers, set up the second computer
using the same synchronization settings you used on the first computer.
• Outlook email messages can be synchronized with only one computer.
