Synchronizing with Your
Computer
Using Microsoft ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync is a program you install on your desktop or
laptop computer to transfer data back and forth. In this manner,
you only have to input information once either at your computer
or your HP iPAQ. Using ActiveSync and the sync cable, you
connect your HP iPAQ and a computer to:
■
Copy files (data, audio or video) between your HP iPAQ and
up to two host computers so you always have the latest
information in all locations.
■
Install programs on your device.
■
Back up and restore files.
■
Synchronize links.
■
Send and receive email.
■
Request meetings.
