SyncMate 1.0.0.260 beta
Public testing of our much-talked-of SyncMate 1.0b goes on and on…
We’ve done some more fixes thanks to your reports.
Here they are:
- Shutting down during bookmarks synchronization fixed;
Disconnection problems while reloading folder list fixed.
We also speeded up folder list loading for Pocket PC and fixed minor bugs in iCal, Contacts and Application list plugins.
Guys, please, don’t forget that support stuff goes to support e-mail. Nevertheless, your ideas and suggestions are highly appreciated!
Well, I just downloaded 1.0.0.260 and my WM6 T-Mobile Dash will not connect with my leopard 10.5.1 computer. The SyncMate dialogue box comes up but it simply won’t connect.
HTC P3300 & WM5
Latest version downloaded. Contacts & Calender (iCal) sync well so far. A few connection problems and suddenly a request for a password. Using OOOO resulted in a well operating connection.
Tnx.

Thanks for the great job, I use it to install cab on my HTC Touch and it works like a charm!
I have to restart my computer AND my htc touch before I can use syncmate.
Best regards from France
Just upgraded to 10.0.0.260 after uninstalled previous version.
Almost all seems to work fine, but iCal sync still reports same error as before:

Sorry, I forgot to complete my previous post with data:
PocketPC Mitac Mio 550 Win Mobile 5
Mac Os 10.5.1 on Intel Mac
I have a samsung i760 with WM6 and running leopard and still not able to sync, nothing happens.
I have upgraded to SyncMate 1.0.0.260 and using it on a Macbook on X 10.5.1. Tried to sync to my Samsung i600 (Blackjack) the first time i was prompted for a password though I do not have one for the phone. Keyed in “0000″ after which nothing happened. Since then have rebooted the phone as well as the mac with no luch – every time i plug the phone in SyncMate launches and that is it – nothing happens. I cannot see my phone. Tried looking into the applications in the phone and I notice Activesync is running. I do not see any SyncMate in the phone – I am not sure if the program should be installed in the phone as well.
Appreciate any help.
PS – have sent this message to the support group as well.

I updated the new software for my blackberry pearl and it still can’t find it. When you make a new connection for the device what are you suppose to use airport, bluetooth, ethernet or firewire.

Good job on the release guys – I’ve been watching the blog like a hawk!
I first uninstalled syncmate, rebooted, then installed the new version and rebooted again. Not sure if this is necessary, but figured I’d better be safe than sorry.
At first syncmate would continually crash. I deleted the preference files and it still continually crashed. Finally I deleted the files in Application Support and tried again and it worked.
I ran a sync which seemed to complete normally. I am still not able to push calendar items from ical though. Items sync from my phone just fine, but not the other way around. This is the single bug that has been consistent through all the build I’ve tried and the one I’m looking most forward to being fixed.
I also tried to grab device info but it just sat there for a while and eventually crashed. A subsequent syncing started eating up a lot of processor power but ultimately ended up just fine.
In fact, after this 3rd or 4th sync, I can see calendar items were pushed through to my phone along with some weird blank appointments. I’ll have to test this a little bit more but it seems like its kinda working.
Great work on the release, again – I love the software please keep it free!
Syncing iCal both ways appears to be working fine now, everything started working great after I sync’d it a few times, restarted the software, etc.
I just downloaded 1.0.0.260 as well, and still no connection between my Verizon Motorola Q with WM5. I literally get no response from the software. We are all excited about this software, and the fact that is it free is fantastic, but maybe a little bit of FAQ’s and answers could alleviate a lot of problems that people are having. I have to believe that since you released the product, you know it works, so maybe we are all doing or not doing something that could fix the connection issue. Finally, if you post an email for support. Answer the emails or at least try to address them.
Again, thanks for working on this product…
still doesn’t connect with toshiba e800 and imac with macosx 10.5.1
Hi, great thing, but new release still doesnt work with my gear:
OS X 10.4.11 – MacBookPro + MDA Touch
Error message:

Thanx for any help!
I downloaded the last build and i cannot stablish a connection between my htc touch (wm6 ) and my tiger 10.4.11 on mac intel , when i plug the touch to the USB , and run the activesync is like the phone try to connect but in syncmate doesn’t response , any suggestion?
Hello! I also tried this version with my MacbookPro.
I use following configuration:
MacBook Pro 15″ with 2,4 GHZ and 4GB-RAM with Leopard 10.5.1
My mobile Device is a MDA-Compact 3, formerly known as HTC Artemis or HTC P3300 with the original T-Mobile-Germany ROM with Version 3.15.111.2 GER, Protokoll-Version 4.1.13.50 and ExtROM-Version 3.15.111.102
I uninstalled the older Version, rebooted my PC and installed the Version from Syncamte .260 the a reboot followed.
When i try to connect the Mobile-Device Syncmate starts and at the actions-log following is protocolled: “Getting the sync client…”
So, nothing happens when i connect th device. At the device-settings i configured at “Einstellungen”, “Verbindungen”, “USB zu PC” the setting “Erweiterte Netzwerkfunktionen aktivieren” (this is activated at settings, connections, USB to PC).
When i unmark this setting Syncmate won’t start ans at the actions-log nothing appears. If you nedd further information i can offer this via eMail.
Greetings

With this new release it is working great for me :)

I didn’t get a response to my previous post, so I’m going to repost:-
Hi, I have installed the latest build (1.0.0.260) but when I connect my HTC Tytn II with Leopard, the dialog pops up, Syncmate recognises that a WM6 device is present, but that’s about it. The sync button is greyed out and I can’t do anything.
In the log I see the following:-
BEGIN SYNCING…
Successfully saved file.
Installing diver on pocket…
Cant connect to Pocket
END SYNCING
Is there something I am not doing? Do I have to configure USB or networking or anything like that? Some documentation would be nice, or an FAQ.
This looks like it will be a brilliant app – when it works…
Thanks for your efforts so far.
I was working fine, then installed build 1.0.0.260. Now I just get ‘The application SyncMate quit unexpectedly’ everytime I attempt to connect. Using an ATT Tilt, WinMo 6 connecting to a MacBook Pro with Leopard.
WOW! Works well now. Running Leopard 10.5.1 and A t-mobile Wing WM6. Make sure under “settings” in phone that under USB to PC that “enable advanced network functionality” is checked. That solved the problems I was having.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why SyncMate is not compatible with the Motorola Q. Is there any possible tweak or educated alteration that would possibly perpetuate Moto Q compatibility?
Thanks…
I’m using a Cingular 8125 with Leopard, 10.5.1 (PPC+Intel) and Tiger 10.4.10 (PPC). My mobile shows up under no OS/hardware combination still. I shall send another email to support.
Unfortunately, still no luck with my Verizon Motorola Q.

Hello,
I just received my HTC P4550 (Kaiser, TyTN II) and it is not recognized in SyncMate. If I plug the TyTN in with SyncMate closed, it will not start. The device is not recognized at all, although it is listed in the System Profiler.
I am using 1.0.0.260 on OS 10.5.1 on a iMac C2D.
Regards,
Jochen.
No go for my with Moto Q and 10.5.1. The software simply does not see my phone. “enable advanced network functionality” is checked on my phone.
…never mind; I located the Actions Log..
Using OS X Leopard, HTC Tytn II still not recognised, driver will not install. Any chance of a fix?
Anyone at all have any luck with HTC Tytn II (aka Tilt, aka Kaiser) with Leopard? If so, can they please tell us all how they did it!
Same question as Jim Allen ; I have Kaiser ,iMac intel , leopard 10.5.1 . Can anyone help to make it work?? Special settings ?? “enable advanced network functionality” is checked
Using At&t HTC 8525 WM5 with Intel MacBook Pro 10.4.11
SyncMate Build 1.0.0.260 refuses to recognizes the phone. Both have been rebooted several times. SyncMate uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. The USB icon says no connection and the “Connect” button stays grey. :(
@Jim Allen
Working on HTC Kaiser, ROM straight from HTC no updates whatsoever. MBP with Leopard 10.5.1.
I had Syncmate (build 1.0.0.254, previous to this one) working for my HTC TyTN II. Just did a reboot of my phone after installation, cancelled the password request prompt and SyncMate was able to detect my Kaiser. I remembered that I did reboot my MBP 2x (to test if I needed to) and when SyncMate still couldn’t detect my phone, that’s when I restarted my Kaiser and it was detected! BTW, it did take me a while to figure that out but it was worth it!
I haven’t installed the new build yet (currently logged in via Huawei USB Modem on a very slow GPRS signal) but am planning on downloading by tomorrow. Will make update by tomorrow if anything interesting happens with the upgrade.
I.
Congratulation for your software. The interface is simple and easy to use.
Unfortunately, it deosn’t sync with iCal and my Qtek 9100.
And I have a lot of conflicts with my contacts.
But you’re on the right tracks, so keep trying :-)
To everyone whose devices will not sync: I had this problem with my HTC Touch and was very frustrated at first. However, I looked into uninstalling PocketMac, which I had installed and was disappointed with.
You must manually delete files (google: uninstall PocketMac) above and beyond what the uninstaller does.
Reboot.
I also reinstalled the 10.4.11 Combined Update from Apple’s website. (www.apple.com and search for “combined tiger”) This guarantees that USB functionality is returned to the standard state.
Reboot again.
Installed SyncMate and my problems disappeared.
I hope this helps some of you out.
I have tried using this with a macbook (intel-based) and a hp ipaq hx4700 – windows mobile 2003 via usb plug. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Looking forward to next version.
My HTC P4000 with a imac 20″ intel duo core, running leopard won’t connect.
I’ve tried many combinations, and it just won’t connect. Handshake problem in the diagnostics.
No dice on a brand new Samsung Blackjack II and Mac G4 Powerbook running 10.4.11. No recognize phone despite numerous restarts. Interestingly, Syncmate automatically starts when the phone is rebooted, so something is going on. But the sync box and connection box are grayed out…
Hi.
Syncmate seems to be a promissing software.
Unfortunately, I’ve been unable so far to sync with Ical. Only my contacts can sync with my Qtek 9100.
I can’t wait for the next release :-)
Hi,
1.0.0.260 is working better if compared with 0.254.
But now I have problems with “strange” appointments that are during from 1945 till now… they are recurring so my calendar is plenty of duplicated “columns”.
It’s very strange…. I don’t know how can I to “reset” the situation… I’m deleting them by hand. Seems that they are repeated-appointments; but I never used them in my iCal nor in my Windows Mobile 5.0 Eten M600+.
I’m working with osx 10.5.1
Also “entire-day” appointments should be checked… and (I’m italian) sometimes the “monday” appointment is copied on Sunday (the Sunday before that Monday).
It’s difficult to stay in sync.
I renamed my calendar from “mobile” to “Ivan”… could be this the problem?

Surely a great piece of software, as soon as it works. Sadly, I have no idea what could be the problem. Others got it working on the first try without adjusting any settings, I don’t even get it working with tweaking around :(.
Thanks maximus, syncmate just doesn’t seem to detect my HTC at all. I keep getting a “cannot install driver” error message in the log. Does Activesync need to be running on the HTC? I have tried both ways but it seems to make no difference. I’ll wait to see how you get on with great interest!

**Note this did work for me on the first beta and I was able to sync one time with my Treo 750v..since then nothing works, I cannot make any sort of connection at all.
@All
Since we stated that the software is BETA this means it has issues to fix.
I’ll state it one more time to highlight key points. SyncMate is a FREE software and it’s currently in BETA stage. So, this implies that we highly appreciate your cooperation but we do not guarantee that the application has no bugs or glitches. You can help us in developing better software by reporting issues here or by e-mail. Note, that paid software support has higher priority, so if you didn’t receive the answer you can check this blog for updates, for example.

T-Mobile Dash, T-Mobile Shadow, Samsung SCH-i760, BlackBerry Pearl, Motorola Q, MDA Touch (aka HTC Touch), Samsung BlackJack (aka SGH-i607) have Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition. Current version of SyncMate doesn’t support this OS, but we are already working on this. The next SyncMate build will work with smartphones.
@Bert Kassing
Are you sure you have the latest build installed?.. If so, please, try to reinstall the application.
@Nico, Tedi, Valerio
Thanks, and best regards to you, too.
@Alberto
It may happen so in case you have many periodic events set in your calendar. How many of them do you have? We’ll investigate that.

Please, make sure that firewall(s) on your Mac and/or your mobile device (if any) do not block the connection.
@ricardo
SyncMate can’t install a driver on your mobile device.Try to reboot the device and connect to your Mac again. Then check firewall settings.
@sam
Thanks for useful information! Please, indicate the manufacturer, model, and OS of your mobile device.
@Tofi, Morten Botker
Your mobile devices have Windows Mobile 2003, right? SyncMate doesn’t support this OS.
@Rob C, Allen
Click SyncMate icon in system tray on your mobile device and then choose “Exit”. Then restart the device and try to establish connection again.
@Jochen
The firewall is blocking SyncMate’s attempts to establish connection. Adjust firewall settings to permit the connection. If the problem still persists, send SyncMate log to support@eltima.com
@foudordi
Please, don’t post multiple comments. Try to reset the profile in SyncMate’s settings.
@el-coda
Thanks for reporting, we’ll fix it.
Thanks for the update Helen, I’m sure I’m not the only one here who really appreciates this app, and really wants it to work, to the extent that we are prepared to put in some effort to help.
In my case, the Leopard firewall is set to allow all incoming connections, which is the default. If you have (or if anyone else has) any suggestions for configuration changes which might make Syncmate see my HTC, I would be grateful to receive them.
After another reboot of my Treo 750v problem is fixed, now connected to my Mac running Leopard OS and syncing appears to be working again.
*Only annoying problem is when connected to the USB cable and after phone is synced about every 5 minutes the sync window will pop up again and again even after being minimized
**Also would like support for Internet connection when connected via USB like ActiveSync has..doesn’t seem to work now so no weather or RSS updates like on my Windows box.
Thanks Eltima!

I was able to install it initially and tested out the application install feature. I did notice that after completing installation on my phone, SyncMate will re-intall it again and again. I had to disconnect my phone to stop it. Re-connecting my phone will make SyncMate try to re-install the application again. I uninstalled it after a few re-boots didn’t work.
After re-installation I’ve had SyncMate crashing on me the past couple of days. Won’t even start even when my phone was disconnected, it just crashed. Will be sending the crash log via support@eltima.com, let me know if I’m sending it to the right support channel. I uninstalled it and will be re-installing within the day. Couldn’t completely test it out due to the day job, but now on vacation so let’s see.
Bug on Entire Day appointment (event shifting by 1 day)
Hi, I’m Italian. I’using windows mobile 5 + leopard italian.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. on iCal place an entire-day event “TEST entire event” to 20th dicember
2. sync iCal with (pdaiCal algorithm)
–> result OK: you will see the event on your PDA
3. on PDA change the name for the event “TEST entire event hhhh”
4. disconnect PDA
5. sync iCal with (pdaiCal algorithm)
–> result BUGGED: you will see that the event you changed is now scheduled for 19th Dicember on iCal and 20th Dicember on PDA.
If you need clarifications I’m here.
Which is the e-mail where to send messages like this?
support@eltima.com or any other?
Thanks, have a nice Xmass
ok. SyncMate is working for me! Whoopeee!
Uninstalled SyncMate and searched most of the folders for preferences (like application support, library, etc…) and deleted all traces of my previous installation of SyncMate.
Thinking back, I think the issue I had with installation may be due to either of 2 things:
1) I dragged 2 cab files for installation during my prior install.
2) I canceled the install on my phone. (so maybe SyncMate may have thought that the install didn’t succeed that’s why it was trying to re-install the application again.
Intall process I did (after the uninstall and cleanup) was simple:
1) followed instructions from SyncMate’s intallation.
2) rebooted my MBP.
Things I noticed:
1) app install works!
2) the apps list won’t refresh after the successful install. -> worked only after I pressed disconnect and reconnected my phone.
3) once my phone went to “sleep” SyncMate disconnected the connection. I pressed the power button and still no recognition. removed USB, and still no dice. -> worked when I stopped the SyncMate service at the WM taskbar (if you call it that).
4) SyncMate files all my contacts as mobile contacts. Just curious if there are plans in creating Addressbook Groups WM6 Categories. (Synch Up)
That’s it for now! Thanks SyncMate Team!
Maximus, I deleted the app and all the data I could find, reinstalled and connected my HTC and, nothing… The device isn’t even shown on the main dialog as being connected.
I have a label ‘new device’ in the combobox, but the ‘connect’ btton on the top left next to the USB icon is greyed out, as is the ‘Sync now’ button on the top right. I can use the main menu item ‘Sync’, but I get the following error:-
BEGIN SYNCING…

Is Activesync running on your WM6 device? I don’t understand why it is working for you and not me. It must be some kind of OS X configuration I guess – frustrating…

The firewall on of my macs are all disabled, as is the firewall on my mobile. My mobile is able to sync with Missing Sync. I have tried also tried removing the Missing Sync program from my mobile, and syncmate still won’t go for me (the usb icon reports no device is connected). It seems that SyncMate just doesn’t recognize my device’s usb vendor and device id as supported? Hopefully some day these phones will work, we own a bunch of them at my work :).
Thanks,

Are you planning to do a Symbian version? UIQ 3? sonyericsson M600i?
;-)
What a slick program! I tried syncing my Axim x51v and MacBook Pro running latest Leopard, and it worked like a charm. Plus, it’s way less bloated than Missing Sync. Great job!
Looking forward to the BlueTooth functionality.
@Jim Allen
Do you have a firewall on your mobile device?
@Tofi
SyncMate works with Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6. It doesn’t support either Windows Mobile 2003 SE, or Windows Mobile 2003, or Pocket PC 2002, or Pocket PC 2000.
@netgui
Samsung SGH-i600 is a smartphone. Current version of SyncMate doesn’t support this OS, but we are already working on this. The next SyncMate build will work with smartphones. Stay tuned and have a nice Christmas!
@maximus
I’m pleased to know SyncMate works well for you now. And I’m also pleased to inform you that you are welcome to choose any of our products and get a free license as a gift from Eltima Software. :) Please, contact me personally at helen.white@eltima.com
@el_coda
Thanks for reporting, we will fix it as soon as possible. Nice Christmas to you, too.
@Reid
Please, wait for the next build and try again.
@Roco Vargas
Yes, we are planning to add support for Symbian OS. Just wait a little bit :)
@Nick
Thank you for your kind words! Bluetooth sinchronization is planned for following versions.
firewall opened, de- and reinstalled Syncmate, get the umbrella on and on again; no connection , nothing
HTC Kaiser; win mob 6 prof; iMac intel ; leopard 10.5.1
Or is it a problem I do sync with XP machine at work ??
I don’t understand ; maximus what did you do ?
Rien
I have a QTEK 8300 and after many reboots (both MacPro and Smartphone), I cannot get connected. In the network overview though, I see a self-assigned IP (169.254.2.2 using DHCP )but connected
Helen, there is no firewall on WM6 that I know of, and can’t find mention of it on the web. I checked because I don’t recall reading anything about it.
The OS X firewall is set to allow all incoming connections. I have reinstalled and rebooted SyncMate, and the MBP, and reset the HTC.
Still nothing. I don’t understand why maximus seems to have it working with similar harware and software. Perhaps I have applications installed which are conflicting.
Success! After reinstallation of SyncMate, despite the fact that the firewall was set to allow all incoming connections, I added explicitly added Syncmate to the list of applications to allow connections. I then reset my HTC, and it’s all good now!
Excellent, thanks! Another nice thing is that is works with Spanning Sync as well to resolve conflict, brilliant!
SOLUTION FOUND TO GREYED OUT DISCONNECT AND DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED.
I am finally (after two weeks) able to connect/sync my Sprint HTC Touch (running windows mobile 6) to my macbook pro. The solution was turn off the Mac firewall. Afterwards the syncmate icon appeared on my today screen(on the HTC Touch) and I was able to sync.
It is improving, but I think it needs the ability to support the multiple calendars I have in iCal. Right now it will only sync one at a time that I have to manually choose.
My two cents
Love Syncmate! Just got a new Mac for the holidays and it works great syncing my HTC Touch to the Mac!! Thanks!!
@Helen White
that will say, that my HP iPAQ 514 (Smartphone mit WM6) at the moment isn’t supported?
It only work with pocket pc’s?
When will come the next bulid?
It will be always for free?
thanks
the sync doesn’t work with my htc p3600..
syncmate doesn’t know my device.. :(
Dears,
feature-request.
Is it possible to sync multiple calendars (that on iCal have different colours) with syncmate?
Till now we have a “mobile” calendar but it’s only one. (When I used Outlook I found very useful the possibility to merge differend Outlook calendars on my PDA ).
Is this on the roadmap?
Thanks
ivan
excellent! everything is working great on mac os 10.5 intel cpu with ipaq rx 1950.
usefull for next version: keep categories and do not rename them to one name!
thx
well I must be a complete fool; I have the same configuration as Jim Allen, did , I think, the same things, no luck, no connection, jut an umbrella…
iMac white Intel, HTC Kaiser
Is there any hope ?
Rien
Appendix to the comment above: SyncMate behaves this way when the PDA does not show the dialog box to install the required exe-file. I have no clue what I did the last hours but now the PDA asked be to install the sync helper application and I was able to sync.
Well I got many ERROR message while syncing my contacts and the calendar (btw: SyncMate should support multiple calendars) and it crashed when I activated all plug-ins, but: thank you very much for this free application!
When is the version compatible with the T-Mobile Shadow (Windows Mobile 6 Standard CE OS 5.2.1711) and Mac OS X (Leopard v. 10.5.1) going to be released?
If you would like someone to test SyncMate on the T-Mobile Dash running WM6 Standard and connecting to OSX 10.4.11 please feel free to contact me I’d love to help out and request nothing in return. You are doing us all a favor and releasing a much needed piece of software!
Rien,
Try this, uninstall SyncMate and all the associated files, use spotlight to look for everything with “Estima” in the filename. Reinstall, reboot, and soft reset your HTC. Note, you MUST reset, not just a matter of switching the device off. Then plug in and you should be working.
If it fails, please post.
Hello Jim
I just find the program Syncmate with finder, no Estima files, even *Estima* doest not give any results; am I missing somewhat?
Rien
I think estima was a misspelling of Eltima. :)
Oops, yes, sorry about the typo!
Hi, when I run the program have this error: we just found a potentially conflicting driver already installed.
Unfortunately, both drivers cannot work together.
Another one has been disabled for a while.
What is the problem, I do not have any program installed…
I have leopard…
Thanks.
hm, yes indeed , I must be a fool……….but does not make any difference , no files with ” eltima” in it found
Hello,
I’ve a HTC Touch (on WM6 Pro, I just checked) and MacOS 10.4.11
I tried everything said here to connect my HTC with SyncMate, but nothing happen ! Nevertheless, I can access to my HTC by Apple’s Bluetooth Explorer…
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Can’t seem to connect to HTC Tornado/SP5/O2 XDA IQ (WM5) using OS 10.5.1 (Leopard).
It seems to install the software/driver on my phone (after pressing Yes to install it), but I cannot sync with SyncMate.
Heres the log output:
Getting the sync client…
Successfully saved file.
Installing diver on pocket…
Cant connect to Pocket

@Rien
You need to delete this folder first before reinstalling:-
/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/SyncMate. It contains a fie called Eltima.SyncMate.xml which spotlight should have found.
And you MUST do a soft reset on your HTC. You can’t just turn it off.
@Florian
You need to post the details of what you have done, and what error messages you are seeing before anyone can help. The bluetooth thing isn’t related, but SyncMate is due to support in in future – apparently.
I performed the automated upgrade to get to .299 which worked but I still could not sync my HTC Wizard. After reading these postings I did a complete uninstall using AppCleaner and Spotlight to remove all traces. I downloaded the .299 package from the website and installed. All of this appeared to work as expected however Syncmate Icon is now a default application icon and will not launch.
I tried uninstalling using the script and other means and reinstalling as well as running it twice which did an ‘upgrade’ but I still don’t get an icon nor will the program launch.
Hmmm. New version installed fine the first time, recognized a phone being connected, but didn’t connect. I uninstalled it, deleted all App Support and preferences files, and reinstalled. Now it seems not to work — I get the SyncMate in my Applications folder but no icon (just the default), and it will run and immediately disappear in the dock.
Running OSX 10.4.11 and a Blackjack II with Windows Mobile 6.
I ought to be ashamed…. Syncmate works; the problem in my case was the fact that I have a password on my Kaiser….. uninstalling the password helped…. Syncmate connects to my device I can sync….
my excuses !
One problem I found, syncing my calender with ICal did not work properly, I could not sync appointments in the future from my Kaiser to iMac, just one did.. can I find someware the reason why??
Rien
I am getting download errors with the dmg. This isn’t the first time either. I might be worth taking a look at your web server. Thanks for the hard work.
Congratulations Jim! Sorry I wasn’t able to reply, was sick the past couple of weeks.
I’m now scratching my head why you had to include the SyncMate app to the firewall. Might be a Leopard bug.
@Rien
These were the file/folders I deleted if I remember correcty:
Macintosh HD\Library\Application Support\EltimaSyncMate
Users\Library\Preferences\com.Eltima.SyncMate.plist
Users\Library\Application Support\SyncMate
@Helen
Thank you for the generous offer. I am just supporting the people/company that is supporting the mac (with Windows Mobile) community and am happy that you have provided us with SyncMate. I don’t think I could ask for more! Thanks again to the SyncMate team!
My macbook runs Tiger, my Eten X500 runs WM6. Everything runs ok (SyncMate shows Connected, and some activity took place) after install SyncMate, BUT:
1. I created a new entry in my X500, I don’t see it sync in my AddressBook
2. I created an appointment in my iCal under “Business” category, I don’t see it in my X500
The SyncMate log shows 0 record was updated. What did I do wrong? How do I troubleshoot to make it work?
Thanks in advance..
@Jim
I just try it one more time, but with the new .299 version of SyncMate.
So, for the first time i get a “Divers Install” windows…
Anyway, when I try to connect my HTC Touch with SyncMate,
I get the next message in Console :
”
BEGIN SYNCING…
Successfully saved file.
Can’t create RAPI fore.
Cant connect to Pocket
END SYNCING
”
But then the “Connect” button is activate. When I click on it :
”

Hello!
I’m using leopard 10.5.1 and i’ve installed the actual version of SyncMate 1.0.0.299. After installing the software with no apparent problems my system rebooted an i have a Syncmate Symbol in my program-folder. The problem is, that i can’t start Syncmate with this symbol. It looks like Syncmate starts for a second to break down then. Is Anyone here who can help me? My Firewall is disabled, Missing Sync is deinstalled. I tryed the Syncmate installation two times with one deistallation of Syncmate.
Thx,
Tobe
I have installed this but it will not run for some reason, the icon appears as a default application icon and when I try to open it, it just quits immediately.
Macbook running 10.5.1
Hi,
Syncmate always crashes, when in plug my o2 Neo (HTC Prophet).
Terminal:
30.12.07 19:21:06 SyncMate[319] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
30.12.07 19:21:07 com.apple.launchd[103] ([0x0-0x31031].com.Eltima.SyncMate[319]) Exited with exit code: 1
I’m using OSX 10.5.1 and the firewall is deactivated.
Any Ideas?
Hi ,
People I have been watching this blog like nobody’s business and also have tried the various builds to see that they work .
I currently have a Tmobile dash running winmo6 and a core 2 macbook running leopard 10.5.1.
@Helen
Dash is no longer a winmo5 smartedition so that may be something for you guys to consider
Also If you ever require anyone to test with this configuration I would be more than happy to lend a hand
Also a suggestion even though it is mentioned on the page what build the current edition is you might consider .. making the build number more predominant.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST MAD PROPS ON THE EFFORT
Hi,
First of all thank you for developping a FREE synchronizer for Windows Mobile on Mac.
I have two mobiles one SPV C600 (WM5) and one HTC P3600 Trinity (WM6).
I had installed SyncMate v1.0.0.299 (The last one)
I have a Mac Mini with Tiger (newly updated)
I (after times) managed to synchronize the SPV (I had to unlocked applications but however now it works)
It became to work fine (my SPV did not be detected) after having delete the content of …/librarie/SyncMate
My comments:
1 – Bookmark:
I do not use this feature on this mobile and because I’m using firefox as browser.
2 – Contacts:
Great it works as expected
3 – Folders:
I do not yet have tested it (no comment)
4 – iCal:
Humm … the conflicts are all put on current date !? … and no warnings are displayed saying that some events are in conflict or corrupted … but it works !! Yes after reflection I can understand that the event that can not be placed correctly are all stored in current day … Isn’t it possible to display a warning and to ask (for each event in conflict) what to do ??
5 – iPhoto:
Humm May be I did some thing wrong … but when I go on pictures downloaded from device the images (jpeg in my case) are corrupted … and not viewable !!
-> Does not work (for me)
6 – iTunes:
I did not tested yet … not enough memory on this device
7 – notes:
I did not tested yet … there is no note application on my SPV C600 ???
8 – Time:
Wait … I’ll go and see if time changed …YES … it works
9 – Applications list:
The list seams to be OK … I did not yet test to install new app.
10 – Devise Info:
Great … wahoow … interesting ! It will be great to be able to change alarm …
11 – SMS Manager:
This plugin is really great … I didn’t know that I had still all my sent items and all my trashed SMS … (don’t laugh please !!)
12 – Actions log:
Good … it will be nice to be able to clean it …
Now lets talk about the HTC P3600 …
SyncMate does not detect my USB device … Is it because it is not a supported hardware ???
I suppose that (as my SPV is detected but not my HTC) it is du to the device ???
I will be pleased to have some help, ideas concerning the USB link between the HTC Trinity P3600 and SyncMate.
Is there some body that manage to link it’s HTC P3600 (or S300+ by SFR or M700 by Orange) to a Mac ?
Sorry for my bad english … I will be happy to test future releases.

My T-Mobile Dash (in the US) shows signs of connection (the “connect” goes live for the first time) with the newest version but when I click on it nothing happens. The USB to PC setting is activated on the phone.
I tried the WiFi connection. It requires the installation of the mobile phone version or module. When I go the the Eltima site nothing downloadable to the MW 6 phone is to be found.
I am standing by… thanks, guys, for doing this and I wish you a VERY happy and successful new year. Feel free to charge for the connector software.
Akos
Just downloaded 1.0.299… wow wi-fi sync!
Happy New Year
Ivan
Cosign what Alex said. Syncmate will show up as a default app icon and then close immediately after I attempt to launch it.
Hi,
I’m testing 1.0.299… sync is no more working.
For example on iCal (I was successfully syncing it with .260)…
log:
BEGIN SYNCING…
Successfully saved file.
Successfully saved file.

I noticed that syncmate installed a “client” on the smarthphone.

Dears,
last comment about .299.
After variuous unsuccessfull sync-tests (see my previous post)
I uninstalled .260… and now I have the same problem of Frank.
SyncMate hasn’t its usual icon… and starting it from Applications folder it doesn’t start.
Then using a Terminal and starting it from
/Applications/SyncMate.app/Contents/Macos/SyncMate I had this message:
BellatrixMc:MacOS codarini$ ./SyncMate
2007-12-31 17:11:27.758 SyncMate[293:10b] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
………..
Using ETEN M600+, WindowsMobile 5.0. 1.0.260 was working pretty well.
………..
Sorry, another question… is it possible to download previous versions?
For example .260?
iCal and Syncmate : i wrote I did not see the appointments made in 2008 ,set on my Kaiser, in iCal after syncyng, except fot a appointment made in nov ‘08. tested by writing an appointment on the first of jan ‘08= 01-01-2008 , after syncing found it back in iCal
on nov 8 2007 : 08-11-2207
an appointment put on jan 2 2008: 02-01-2008 found it back on dec 8 2207 : 08-12-2007
So to me it has something to do with the date notation . Here in the Netherlands notation is dd-mm-(ee)jj .
Where to change these setting so it will work properly ??
Happy New Year to you all, Rien
excuses for my mistakes : not 08-11-2207 but 08-11-2007 , not
dec 08 2207 but dec 08 2007

I’ve noticed the permissions are weird when I install the latest version on Tiger. The program doesn’t have access to it’s own files, and therefore won’t run properly. I’ve tried changing the permissions but I think something is not getting run at install that is necessary due to the lack of permission to access its own resources. Can someone look into this? I’ve tried multiple times now.. completely deleting and re-downloading the app.
I am using a DELL X50v (WM2003 SE) + MAC OS 10.5
The software cannot detect my pocketPC when i connect it with USB
My SyncMate version: 1.0.0.260 beta
BE CAREFULL
as I mentionned in previous reactions syncing gave me problems in my agenda on my HTC Kaiser. Appointments made in 2008 have diappeared, placed in other dates, I found one back in nine deember 2308, an other one in five december 2808 .
rien
Strange thing happened. Everything worked well. Got a message today like ” beta trialperiod expired ” (or someting like that). Downloaded latest version. Now it won’t sync anymore. It’s a pitty, because I was a happy user.
HTC P3300, Macbook, Leopard
Did some experimenting and now it works again, more or less. iCal 2007 appointments were set on another time zone. All 2007 appointments in HTC were set on jan. 1, 2008 (1600 hrs). Very strange. Contacts sync well.

I eagerly downloaded 1.0.299 somehow post installation when I connect the phone the application does not launch..nor am i able to launch the application manually. Looking in the Applications folder I notice that the application icon is not the expected SyncMate one rather is looks like the logo on the left of the install screen with the pencil-ruler-brush. I have uninstalled – rebooted and reinstalled a few times with the same effect. What am I missing ?
Thanks for the help.
htc 710 cant connect to phone, get following error.
Driver found. Starting…
Cant connect to Pocket

Thanks
Ditto Tobe and Alex above. Syncmate installed without issue but crashes instantly every time I try to open it. MacBook Pro running 10.5.1.
Ditto Dave (et al) – Installed but wont run. Macbook Pro 10.5.1
I think a file must be missing into the package… please let us know when the problem is fixed.
Does anyone know where to find a previous working version?
