PPC sync : lost contact list

Post by sierratango »

Hello,

I have delete manually all contact on my pocket pc (ipak 3900 series, win pocket pc 2002) and I sync inside epim pro (sync pocket pc) to add the epim informations (task, contact, calendar) from my pc to my ppc.

The sync is done, and I see in epim on the pc the contact list empty, I restore the backup, and I think the way for synchro is PPC to PC, but inside epim too box, ppc sync, I don't see the possibility to chose the way (PPC to PC or PC to PPC or dual sync between PPC and PC).

can you help me, and is it possible anywhere to choose the way to sync ? in my case, I want to syn PC to PPC.

thanks a lot

Jean-Pierre

You did synchronize couple of times before you decided to manually delete contacts on your PPC, didn't you? What happened was that EPIM actually synchronized your deleted contacts (as it assumed you'd not need them as deletion was the latest action performed compared to EPIM). The synchronization process is always a two-way one. One-way is not currently available, unfortunately.

thank you for your help, I dont unerstant what happened, I find how to delete all contact in the PPC, Now the contact list in the PPC is empty, the contact list in EPIM is full (with contacts I enter manually in EPIM). I use the synchro command in EPIM menu, the little window appear, I see the synchro activity, at the end the window said sync complete, I press OK, I open EPIM, all my contact are deleted in EPIM, and the contact list still empty in the PPC.

sierratango, please click on File->Database management and then on the PPC sync Clear button. This should clear history of all previous synchronizations. You can now how a fresh start.
