Axim x51v won't sync

I upgraded one of my x51v devices to 6.5, when I have it in the cradle and connect the USB, WMDC doesn't connect so that I can sync it. Can you help? Thanks!

Guys it's probably down other sync software on your system like phone sync, I had the same problem yesterday, sometime ago I had installed software for my HTC phone, check in add/remove programs & uninstall anything that sync with your computer, then reinstall activesync.

Does your system detect the handheld? After you connect the cradle or cable to the computer, then you should be prompted to install drivers for the handheld. Make sure that Dell Pocket PC appears in the Device Manager.

SOURCE: Dell Axim x51 will not connect to system

The only resolution I found for this problem for now is taking the battery out of the Axim.

SOURCE: I cannot get my Dell Axim X5 to sync to my laptop

Well windows vista doesnt need any software to run the axim, it has a hardware feature on it to detect and sync to it. Ive never heard of this. I would be able to help better if i was in an instant message session with you and able to see things better. If you have google my account is: clintchance if YahoO! clintchance1101 hotmail: [email protected] (yeah i know, i dont like to change the username often.) If you can contact me on one of those i can help you better. Im usualy on after 3:00 PM CST

SOURCE: Windows Vista will not recognize dell axim X3

I have had that problem with other USB devices i suggest trying a different USB port as the USB port you have used to connect the X3 to is most likely malfunctioning.

Does not recognize my connection for active sync

Dell made an entry into the market of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) with Axim X5. The Dell Axim comprises of families of X5, X3, X30, X50 and X51. The Dell Axim PDA can be connected to the computer either by using a cradle or a sync cable. The sync cable connects the device to the computer directly. Here are the steps for connecting a Dell Axim to a computer using a sync cable.
  1. p 1 The Microsoft ActiveSync software must be installed in order to connect the PDA to the computer. This software is found in the Dell Axim Pocket PCmag-glass_10x10.gif Companion CD.
  2. Step 2 The Axim X51 PDA has a 36-pin connector, while the X3 has a 22-pin docking connector.
  3. Step 3 Connect the USB connector found at the end of the sync cable to the computer.
  4. Step 4 Check the PDA. If the PDA is not properly cabled to the computer, you will get the following message: “Connect your device to a computer using a sync cable or cradle before running the system update. Ensure that ActiveSync is installed on the computer and that the ActiveSync connection is successful.”
  5. Step 5 Ensure that the Dell logo faces upward.
  6. Step 6 Use the sync cable to set up a partnership, which can be done multiple times when you sign in as a guest.

My Dell PDA won't sync with my PC, although it used to?

1)If you get an error message from ActiveSync on your PC, it's one of a million things that can and do go wrong with another piece of Micr0$0ft'$ "finest". I wont even go there in this post. 2)If it just never gets seen by the PC, check your USB cable connection. 3)If the PDA doesn't even turn on and/or charge immediately when connected to the cradle, you may have a bad cradle. 3a)If the connector in the cradle feels lose or it DOES connect if you hold it a certain way, your cradle's broken. They're known for this.

Dell Axim x51 will not connect to system

windows vista uses its own sync software, which is available on the windows marketplace
if your vista is original you can upgrade to this software
if you use xp version, just keep using the usual active sync
