4.To set specific options (for example, to indicate how many weeks of Calendar data to synchronize, or to synchronize only active tasks), select the appropriate service, and then click Options.

Speed up the synchronization process by synchronizing regularly. If you use Microsoft Outlook, Windows CE Services synchronizes only 2 weeks of calendar data by default.

Resolving synchronization conflicts

If the same item (for example, an appointment or a task) has been modified on both the desktop PC and on the HP Jornada, ActiveSync indicates that a synchronization conflict has occurred. When the Resolve Conflicts dialog box appears, you can either resolve the conflict by selecting one of the items to replace or you can ignore the conflict.

You can resolve each conflict manually, at the time of synchronization, or you can resolve conflicts automatically by setting a default option for conflict resolution.

To set a default option for conflict resolution

1.Open the Mobile Devices window, and then select the P/PC icon.

2.On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options.

3.On the General tab of the ActiveSync Options dialog box, click Advanced.

4.Select the option you prefer to resolve conflicts.

Using channels

A channel is a Web site or other Web-formatted content that is available for offline viewing on your P/PC. Channels allows Internet, intranet, or other Web-formatted content to be automatically downloaded to your P/PC from your desktop computer via synchronization.

Content can be updated on a regular basis, such as updates from a news channel, or on a one-time basis, such as movie listings from an entertainment channel.
