Introduction

What is ActiveSync® ?

The Microsoft® ActiveSync® is one of the important bundled programs in MyPal. With ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.

For example:

•Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

•Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

NOTE

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all

 

types of information. Use the ActiveSync options to turn

 

synchronization on or off for specific information types.

 

 

With ActiveSync, you can also:

•Back up and restore your device data

•Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer

•Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose to synchronize.

•Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose to synchronize your appointments of the past two weeks only, appointments older than two weeks are not synchronized.

For more information about using ActiveSync:

1.Start ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2.From the Activesync menu bar, click Help then on Microsoft ActiveSync Help.
