Sync on 2 PCs
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:00 am
Please help. I have an HTC Touch HD on WM6.1 and I use this with Thunderbird and Lightning running off a portable hard disc. This goes back and forth between Home and Work both running XP with all the SPs and the portable HD as the D drive on both.
Using Birdie Sync and Active Sync I can get it to sync without problem. I then (exactly) following the procedure you detail take it to the other PC and set up a new partnership and that syncs fine. If I then take it back the the first one it recognizes the device but tells me "The following information type on your mobile device has not been synchronized with this computer before" and gives me the option to combine or replace.
I have gone through the FAQ and deleted the partnerships in Active Sync on both PCs and the mobile and deleted the Active Sync folders. I have tried this 4 times now in the last week but every time I take it back to the PC1 having set up a relationship with PC2 and synced it tells me I have never synced before with PC1.
Both the PCs use the same HD as drive D, the only real difference between them is one (work) uses Zone alarm but though this blocked the original sync when the range was allowed it has synced fine. Like I said both PCs will sync with the Mobile perfectly but not remember that they have done so if before hand they have synced with the other PC.
I know I can just sync with one pc but that to me rather defeats the object of being allowed to use 2 PC
I only allow the cards, events, tasks, everything else is off.
Any help or advice much appreciated. I am a long term Palm user (who switched due to the bad hardware Palm now offer) so apologise if I am missing something simple in this windows world
