BirdieSync problems on Windows 7
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:24 am
Hi,
I just migrated from one computer with XP to a new one with Windows 7. The Birdiesync install seemed to go OK, using Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 and Birdiesync 1.7.2.0.
Two problems however, one an annoyance and the other quite severe:
Using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.6965 and an HP iPAQ phone with Windows Pocket PC 5.0, the sync often times does not start until I replace the phone in its USB cradle several times.
The real problem however is that the sync time runs for several hours (3 or more). After about 3 hours, either the computer or I go to sleep and I think it never completes successfully. Calendar entries on the phone are not in Lightning on the PC and many calendar entries are duplicated on the phone. I think the tasks move from the PC to the phone. Contacts were duplicated on the PC one time, but not the other. Perhaps those never synced. I was not syncing e-mail.
Basically, it just doesn't work properly at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
