Synchronizing an ipaq with Vista + Office 2007

Hi,

When I try to synchronize my ipaq 6340 with Outlook 2007 and Vista (calendar 
and Contacts), Windows Mobile Device Center says "Outlook has not been 
configured" and I cannot mark the box for calendars and contacts :-(

I've been looking around in Outlook and after some hours ... I must admit 
that I didn't find anything .... What can I do? --- Calendars and Contacts 
are really basic for me ....

Thanks a lot !!!!

The same for me with my Ipaq.
After the update, I was able to setup a connection between PC/Ipaq, and also 
to syncronise the notes from Outlook.
But the Contacts and Calendar can't be enabled: "Outlook has not been 
configured".
I think the only thing we can do is waiting till another update like we got 
this one.

If your data is "really basic" for you, why are you running Beta software on 
a system that contains irreplaceable/essential/important/vital data???  Are 
you prepared for that inevitable crash that can only be fixed by a complete 
format and reinstall?  Are you prepared for your data to be lost or 
corrupted?  Are you prepared for having no access to essential items when 
your system becomes unstable?

I'm working on a duoboot systeem. I keep my data on a separate disk. I can't 
lose anything. IF the beta's crash on the one disk, I still have XP on the 
other disk and all the data on another disk.
Nothing fatal can happen.

Hi-

Just that was my impression too ..... 

But first I thought that it was only me because I am using an ipaq with 
Windows Mobile 2003 first edition ... which is ... quite old ... But with the 
patch everything works fine (but the calendars and contacts ... of course 
...).

Let's wait !!

Thanks a lot !!!

Honestly I think that everybody around here is pretty aware of what a beta 
implies :-) 

In my case I think I tried all MS major betas since the early days of Dos 
... so ... Thank you ... but like probably everybody else here I know what I 
am doing :-)

Actually, you're probably in the minority, based on the posts we've seen here in the past two weeks.

Is anyone able to help or give a clue to an update ariving or do we just 
insult the users !!!

Updates generally are not available for public preview betas. Did you have a particular problem, Rod? If so, you might want to start a new discussion thread posting all the relevant details.

I am having the same problem, same senerio. Before the Mobile Sync thing came 
out 2 or 3 days ago, I couldn't do anything, but now I can do just as they 
say, notes, but no calander or contacts or whatever.

Same issue.  Outlook has not been configured.  Mobile 2003 as well.   I've 
been trying to find a fix through outlook with no avail. With the advent of 
the new update giving any sync at all, i'm optomisitic that it won't be long. 
 

on my sidenote, i agree that insulting the users that you're trying to get 
help from (since it is a 'beta' as you not so eloquently pointed out, and 
part of public release is for customer feedback) is probably not the best 
strategy.  It's a new system in many ways for all of us.  Just trying to make 
sure we're not missing something simple.  Not complaining.  Just trying to 
help.

hopefully the answers come soon.

I too am well aware of the risks assiciated with running beta software but I 
would still like more information on Outlook configuration in this new 
sychronization software as I have experienced the same problem both in the 
Office 2003 and 2007 Beta versions.  Is it possible that this capability 
doesn't yet exist?
I am surprised at the responses from the two 'MVP's.  I was under the 
impression that this designation was given to people for their courteousness, 
helpfulness and their knowledge of the product.  I didn't see any evidece of 
any of that.
