Sync Options Options

[wizzard]

Hi
Whenever I press sync on the cradle of my Zaurus or double click on Intellisync on my desktop, I get an error message saying that I have to set the connection properties using "Sync Options". However when I double click on "Sync Options", nothing happens. I can transfer files using Zaurus File Transfer, so PC connection is not a problem. I have a Zaurus 5600 with Sharp ROM and am running Win XP on my PC.
Thanks

Which version of Intellisync did you install? I found that installing just the 5600 version from Sharp's website presented me with all kinds of problems (i.e. no sync) but after uninstalling and then installing the version which is listed to update the 5500 (get it in ZUG downloads or on Sharp's Zaurus website under downloads) and that one worked fine.

I used the 5600 version from Sharp's website ( the updated version, not the one in the CD). Should I uninstall the whole thing or just intellisync?

[mls64]

that's what I did (just uninstalled Intellisync and all its components), and reinstalled using the one listed for the 5500, and it now works fine (the connection, but not the Calendar import...)

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it tonight and let you know how it went.

Intellisync for Zaurus 3.2E works for me using Sharp ROM 3.13.
also with your Zaurus docked check your USB driver in Control Panel, System, Device Manager, Universal Serial Bus Controllers, SL Series (WDM) mine has driver 3.44.0.2700 with a Driver Date of 3/6/2002 installed.

Right, Intellisync 3.2E is the one which works. The only download of 3.2E that I've been able to get to properly work (on my Windoze XP box) is the one which is listed for the 5500 to upgrade it to 5600 specs.

Tried it but the problem persists. Still no sync. Is there any other way?

Confirming the configuration windows isn't opening at all,
also what does Device Manager show your USB status at?

Device manager shows USB SL driver as enabled. Same for the network adapter. I was able to get syncing to work with Qtopia desktop, so I'm using that now.
I also wanted to know if it was possible to network through USB so that I could surf the net or install packages from the feeds directly, but so far I haven't had any reply to that thread.

Glad to hear you got some joy from using Qtopia Desktop as far as USB
networking haven't tried that yet!

does anyone know how exactly the syncing comunicates with the zaurus, what does it use for datatransfer. I'm guessing it's an rpc call since thats all that seams to be running on my Z. is there a spec sheet for this sort of stuff, or really any developer docs at all?

Well, I'd actually like to use Ko/Pi but couldn't get it to sync either. So I'm stuck with this I guess.

I'm having trouble getting my Calender to sync via Intellisync. I can transfer files, backup, transfer address, etc, but can't transfer the Calendar info from Outlook into the Sharp Calendar. I keep getting an error "Unable to Complete Request" right after the "comparing records" screen.

Tried installing Ko/Pi as an alternative (it is an awesome calendar app!) and thought that I'd just export a *.vcs file from Outlook using Outpod which creates one vcs file of whatever events you specify, but Ko/Pi hangs up when trying to import, requiring a reboot.

This is the most amazingly frustrating and seemingly so simple thing!

Anyone have any ideas as to how to make this work? I keep getting this error - I'm thinkng that it has to be an XP setting (when in doubt, blame Micro$oft).
