CHAPTER
This chapter discusses using Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync
®
and other methods
to synchronize your smartphone and your
computer.
Synchronization enables you to enter or
change information on your smartphone or
in Microsoft Office Outlook
®
. Your info is
then automatically updated in both places;
there’s no need to enter the info twice.
This is true whether you sync wirelessly
with your company’s Exchange Server
using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see
Setting up wireless synchronization
) or
with your computer using ActiveSync
desktop software (see Setting up your
computer for synchronization).
By default, the info from the following
applications is synchronized for either
method of synchronization:
You can, however, customize sync settings
to suit your needs and sync only some of
these applications.
If you set up ActiveSync synchronization
with your computer, information in the
Favorites application is synchronized by
default as well. You can also change
settings to synchronize Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and PDF files, as well as
pictures, music, videos, and other types of
files (see Changing which applications
sync). For synchronization of music and
videos, you also must have Windows
Media
®
Player 10 on your computer.
You can set up your smartphone to use any
combination of wireless sync, ActiveSync
synchronization, and Windows Media
Player sync.
DID YOU KNOW ? When you sync Favorites, it
creates a folder in your computer’s web
browser called Mobile Favorites that backs up
any favorites you create in the browser on
your smartphone. You can add or remove
favorites directly to or from the folder.
TIP If you don’t already have Windows Media
Player installed on your computer, you can
install it from the Windows Mobile Getting
Started Disc. Insert the CD into your
computer’s CD drive, select Add Programs,
and then select Windows Media Player.
