Has anybody managed to succesfully sync OneNote?

[octavia]

I'm using Hyperdragon III and I also have OneNote 2007 but I can't manage to sync OneNote with OneNote 2007. I checked the OneNote box in the Active Sync options; I also uninstalled both programs and reinstalled again but to no avail. I can't get them to sync.

Is there another way?

PS. I don't know if this is relevant but I have Outlook 2003, which is synced perfectly with my phone. I don't know if the different versions are the problem or not.

I have 'syncronized' OneNote Mobile successfully with OneNote 2007

However OneNote does not syncronize the whole database, only a section called 'Notes from <Mobile Device Name>, which is created when you set up the 'syncronization'. This was a big disappointment to me as I of course wanted all my notes on the phone for easy lookup on the road...

You need OneNote 2007 on your PC to get the sync to work.
With OneNote2003 you can only Sync PPC Notes into OneNote on your PC.

Man -- I was excited to see that OneNote mobile came with my Kaiser when it got back from HTC for a motherboard replacement...

... but now I see that OneNote dedktop doesn't come with my 2007 Office Pro suite -- I'd have to but it seperately for $99

Oh well -- maybe I'll try the demo version and see if I think its worth it...

Really? Is there not a ONOTE or OneNote MSI with all the other MSI's for Office?
There is one with the package at my work, you just can't do it as part of the office install.

Man -- I see I was not able to spell when I typed my earlier message :)

Anyway, it's official -- onenote does not come with the Office Pro suite.

It does come with Enterprise, however, which is probably what you have at work.

Update: yay, it looks like I can get it through Microsoft's Work At Home program, and my work also uses the Enterprise Suite!

Onenote comes only with the base "Home and Student," the "Ultimate," which despite it's name does NOT have all Office features, and the "Enterprise" edition.

I'm amazed MS has had so much trouble selling this, as I think it's the best software MS has ever put out. Three months ago I was so fed up with MS that I decided to abandon them entirely and move to linux....well, there is NO good replacement for onenote and so I (very begrudgingly) returned. And yes, I did try running an XP VM to run onenote: this is a most unsatisfactory solution. Congrats MS, you lock-in worked in this case. (bastards)

I used onenote on my cell, laptop, desktop and work desktop, and it all syncs fine. Granted I have teh Enterprise edition so that might be the reasons everything worked out the box for me. It is true you need Onenote on the desktop to take advantage of it. To one of the earlier comments about where onenote on the desktop stores the imported notes, you can change that in under tools i believe.

My notes go to the right notebook, but from there i have to manually sort them out to the correct section.

look up some GTD with Onenote articles and it will explain how to set everything... The settings for the phone notes are the same as the settings for sidenotes...


i hope that all made sense...

btw just a little side note... I have a tablet PC so Onenote rocks with a digitizer pen, and being able to search my hand writing etc... So if you own a tablet PC, Onenote is a MUST HAVE APP

if you dont have a tablet PC, i really dont see a need for Onenote other than how it organizes pages etc...

btw OneNote & Groove work awesome together (aslong as your on a 32bit OS since groove doesnt work on 64bit)
