Adding a storage card
Before you can use Plus! Sync & Go to synchronize content between your desktop computer and portable device, you must add the device's to Sync & Go by using the Add Storage Card Wizard. This wizard appears the first time you start Sync & Go.
The Add Storage Card Wizard steps you through the process of configuring the storage card that is installed in a portable device connected to the computer. You can configure storage cards installed in any Microsoft Windows Powered with Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 software, or Compaq iPAQ with Microsoft Pocket PC 2000 software. The wizard also provides sample content from the Internet and your in Windows Media Player that you can download and synchronize to your storage card.
Important
- An external storage card is required. Sync & Go will not detect the main memory on portable devices. Sync & Go also cannot detect the storage space on portable devices that use safe store.
- You must install Microsoft ActiveSync® version 3.5 or later. When ActiveSync Setup gives you the option to change the default installation directory for Sync & Go for Pocket PC, accept the default path to the device's main memory. Installing the software on a removable storage card may cause program errors, and the program may not run as expected. For more information about ActiveSync, see Installing Microsoft ActiveSync.
Notes
- You can only use the Add Storage Card Wizard to configure one storage card at a time. If you want to configure additional storage cards, on the File menu, click Add. The Add Storage Card Wizard also appears automatically if you remove all the storage cards managed by Sync & Go, and then start Sync & Go again.
- When you configure a storage card, Sync & Go automatically installs the Sync & Go for Pocket PC software on your portable device. At any time, you can reinstall or upgrade the Sync & Go for Pocket PC software by clicking Install Plus! Sync & Go for Pocket PC on the Options menu of Sync & Go on your desktop computer.
- Sync & Go can manage up to six storage cards. If you attempt to add a seventh storage card, Sync & Go displays an error message. You must remove one of the six storage cards before you can add a new one. For more information about removing a storage card, see Removing a storage card.
