90 Synchronizing Information With Your Computer
5.1 About Synchronization
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronizing them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronized between your computer and your device:
• Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which include Office
Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007
• Media, such as pictures, music, and video
• Favourites, which are the bookmarked links to your favourite web
sites
• Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronize, you need to install and set up first the
synchronization software on your computer. For more information, see
“Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” and “Setting
Up ActiveSync® on Windows XP®” in this chapter.
Note
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronises data on your
computer and device. To back up files in the internal storage, use Windows
Explorer on your computer to copy files from the internal storage to your
computer.
Ways to synchronize
After you have installed the synchronization software on your computer,
connect and synchronize your device with your computer by:
•
Using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer,
the synchronization process automatically starts.
•
Using Bluetooth.
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device
and your computer before you can synchronize information
between them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting
up a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 9. For information about
synchronizing through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth”
later in this chapter.
Try to synchronize regularly in order to keep information up-to-date in both
your device and your computer.
