1.3 Synchronizing with Your Computer
ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) provide an easy way
to synchronize data on a Windows-based computer with your device.
ActiveSync works on computers that have the Windows XP operating systems.
WMDC works only on computers that have Windows Vista or Windows 7.
ActiveSync and WMDC act as gateways between your device and your
computer for transferring Outlook e-mail, appointments, contacts, and tasks, and
media such as pictures, music, and videos. You can also use the Explore feature
in either program to move files or programs from your computer to your device.
Installing ActiveSync or WMDC
If you‘re using Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows, download and
install the latest ActiveSync. If you‘re using Windows Vista or Windows 7,
download and install the latest Windows Mobile Device Center. (Visit the
Microsoft website to download the program and to obtain operating
instructions.)
NOTE:

Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your
computer.

Connect your device to the computer AFTER Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync is installed.

ActiveSync connection problems may occur in some specific cases. They are likely
caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage
network traffic. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft web site.
