I just installed WMDC on my new pc using Vista Home Premium and works
correctly with my O2 Atom. I am wondering if it now sync with my memory
card that is a long-awaited feature. If so, please let me know how to
configure it to work.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi,

It depends upon what actually you want to sync with the memory card.
The Outlook data (Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks, Notes) syncs only with
the in-built memory. Though, one can sync media files with the external
memory through Windows Media Player.

Abdulkadar,

Thanks for your reply.

My request is simple that sync all files on the memory card to the pc.
ActiveSync did not have this feature in their design and leave it to other
program developers. I used two utility programs: sync all files on the
memory card to the folder that I define and convert the file type from
pocket pc to normal pc, i.e., pocket Excel file vs Excel file.

I just want to know if WMDC has changed this spec or not. If remains
unchanged, I am looking for the existing program developers to upgrade their
programs for use with WMDC. Is it a simple and clear question? If I need
to explain it further, please let me know.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your question. Yes, you are able to sync media to your memory
card. To set up sync, connect your device and open Windows Media Player.
WMP will allow you to set up a media sync partnership. Currently, there is a
bug where WMP will not detect storage cards on Windows Mobile devices that
connect as Remote Network Adapters (RNDIS USB). You have two options:

1. Wait for Windows Media Player to release a hotfix via Windows Update.
It's coming soon but I don't know the release date.

2. You can workaround this bug by manually switching from RNDIS USB driver
to the serial USB driver. Some Windows Mobile 5 devices will have a tool to
allow you to make the switch.

Instructions for Windows Mobile 5 on PocketPC:

1. Start
2. Settings
3. Connections tab
4. USB to PC
5. Uncheck ‘Enable advanced network functionality’

Hope that helps!

Jane,

Thanks for your useful information.

However, I do not need to sync with my memory card like a mp3 player. The
contents of my memory card consist of many different kinds of files, i.e.,
some application programs, mp3, Word files, Excel files, photos, etc.

I know WMC can sync the files with mp3 player but that is not I want unless
it changes in version 11 comes with Vista and I did not know it.

Sync with memory card is the most of customer's request since day one of
ActiveSync introduction but Microsoft insists not to have this feature in
Activesync from v3.x to v4.5. I just want to clearly understand if WMDC
includes it or not. If Microsoft persists to omit this feature, I just walk
away and go with other utility programs as this feature is requesting a
number of years and I cannot afford to lose more time with Microsoft.

Thanks,

Scott
