I have ActiveSync 4.5 on WinXP SP3 on a Dell Precision.
My phone is a Samsung Epix with Windows Mobile 6.1

Up until a week or so ago I was able to synch my Outlook contacts, calendar and tasks with no problems (either USB or Bluetooth).
The first problem I saw was that when I went to sync ActiveSync would just keep trying to sync over and over for hours and never stop.
I looked at the log on my phone and it seemed that there were some problems with some recurring appointments. I ended up doing a hard reset on my phone and reinstalling ActiveSync.
Right after doing that there was an error trying to sync the contacts on my phone to the PC (the pre-loaded contacts *View Data Usage, *Pay My Bill, etc..)...soooo, I deleted those.
Now I try to sync and it tells me that the phone is synchronized, but the phone has no contact or calendar or task info...so nothing was sync'ed!
If I delete the connection and then re-do the sync ActiveSync displays that it's synching 0/1549 for the Calendar, so it sees that there are items it needs to sync....but after that it just says it's synchronized.
I uninstalled ActiveSync again and deleted the Windows CE Services nodes in the registry, and the Active Sync folder in Program Files and then re-installed...but the same thing happened. So I've reset the phone, re-installed ActiveSync...but I still can't sync. What else can I try?
Thanks

Not sure exactly how but it's working right now. After doing everything I mentioned above I noticed that Outlook on my PC had hundreds of bogus contacts and tasks created. I deleted these, then I went into ActiveSync/Tools/Options and de-selected then reselected Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks and was able to sync...

heres how to fix this problem:

You get your windows mobile phone... Then you Grip it tightly.

Then you throw it at your Windows Xp computer.

LOLZ, jokes....

Okay forellzz.

To fix it, just uninstall Activesync and try reinstalling until it works.

I had the same problem
