Activesync refuses to synch 2 files

[Galadai]

Hi, I synchronise my XDA II with two PCs, office and home, but having just had to do a full restore, Activesync keeps saying that 2 files are not synched and just goes round and round trying to synch them. It's the same on both PCs.

I've made sure no files are read-only but cannot work out how to find which files are causing the problem.

Any suggestions gratefully received.........

AT MS ActiveSync menu - Information Type - Files, when you use your mouse pointer, highlight the Files icon, right click and select Resolve items..., what does it say?

For me, usually when it does not synch properly, it means that
(a) I have files with foreign languuage filename that cannot be translated properly.
(b) your files stored in your desktop is not the same as the files in your device.

Hope this helps.

or maybe it's files being used by the pc or pda ?
activesync will not sync files being used

make sure no other programs are running on the xda
and no files from the my pocketpc doc is opened on the pc

I had the same problem, tried everything to remove the problem:

Checked all files in device and synchronisation folder on PC
Checked all Active Sync settings
Closed all applications

Tried time and time again

In the end the only way I resolved it was when I upgraded the ROM to 1.72

So basically my only advice it, Hard Reset or Firmware upgrade

I too had the problem, but I think I may have got to the bottom of it.

On my desktop, after an unsuccessful ActiveSync, I noticed that my recycle bin contained 2 files that had not been there before. They were TomTom files. If I immediately did another Sync, all files were synced correctly.

But, next time I used TomTom, ActiveSync would report that 2 files were not synched, and another pair of TomTom files appeared in the Recycle Bin.

I don't know a cure, but at least I know I am not losing any data.

Well, there's one more thing you can try - and this is also what got rid of the problem for me: synchronise, then disconnect the device, run File -> Delete Partnership from the desktop Active Sync, allowing it to delete the synchronised files. Then check C:\Documents and Settings\<your account name>\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles and make sure there is no directory with your partnership's name - delete it if it still exists.

Now just reconnect your device and create a new partnership. ActiveSync will copy all "to-be-synchronized" files from the PDA to your PC, so no data is lost. The problem, however, will be gone - at least it was for me! :-)

I had these problems a couple of times when i hard reset my xdaii, the 2 culprit files are the westekk PPT and pdf. Its easily identified on the file explorer ion the xda2, its icon is not valid (no programs associated).

try deleting these 2 files and see. worked for me.
