Aug 22, 2012 Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Windows Vista The Windows Mobile Device Center enables you to set up new partnerships, synchronize content and manage music, pictures and video with Windows Mobile powered devices (Windows Mobile 2003 or later). I've spent the whole day trying to find solution and there are solutions, but they don't seem to work with my PC and device. I just install Windows 7 and install Windows Mobile Device Center. Then I connect my device running under Windows Mobile 6, but it can not connect.

I uninstall WMDC, then restart my PC, and connect to device, but I still can not make a connection.

Thanks for responding. I just got it to work by following the instructions on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-troubleshooting.mspx
While the device is connected, I uncheck the Enable advanced network functionality on the device (Settings ->Connections ->USB to PC), and then I uninstall any existing device driver under the Portable Devices node. Start ->Control Panel ->Hardware and Sound ->Devices Manager, Portable Devices. Disconnect the device and connect back-in, until Portable Devices node lists the actual connected device ID, and then install the Windows Mobile Device Center.

On my Windows 7 64-bit machine, when I plugged in HTC Viva (USB), it couldn't detect the phone:
The first boot may take some time. Android 7.0 nougat free download.
Later, I kept the phone connected (through USB) and manually went to Control Panel > Windows Update and clicked on Check for updates. After a few seconds, it detected the device and installed the appropriate driver.

Try installing Zune software from Zune.net. It's supposed to fix ActiveSync issues in Windows 7.

Windows Mobile Device Center is a synchronization software program developed by Microsoft, and the successor to ActiveSync. It is designed to synchronize various content including music, video, contacts, calendar events, web browser favorites, and other files between Windows Mobile devices and the Microsoft Windows operating system.
History[edit]
Windows Mobile Device Center was written as a successor to the ActiveSync program that was previously used to synchronize Windows CE based devices with Windows operating systems prior to Windows Vista. The first public release was available in October 2006 as a beta version meant for use with Windows Vista RC1.[1] In February 2007, the first official release was made available for download,[2] and in June 2007, Windows Mobile Device Center was updated to work with the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.[3] With the release of Windows Mobile Device Center, Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002 operating systems were effectively phased out of full native support with Windows Vista.[4] However, basic connectivity became available for these devices with the 6.1 version release.
Other versions of Windows, such as Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 can also be WMDC enabled.[5]
Features[edit]
While Windows Vista has a base driver built-in to interface with Windows Mobile devices in Windows Explorer,[6] Windows Mobile Device Center offers a front-end for users to integrate their data in multiple Windows applications.
The base driver in Windows Vista allows browsing the device, copying files and syncing with Windows Media Player. For complete functionality including synchronization of tasks, calendar data, contacts, email etc. with Microsoft Office Outlook, Windows Mobile Device Center needs to be downloaded, which includes the additional drivers as well.[7] Synchronization with Windows Mail, Windows Calendar, Windows Contacts, Outlook Express, Outlook 2010 x64 and any version of Outlook prior to Outlook 2003 is not supported. Whenever a Windows Mobile device is connected, the Mobile Device Center pane pops up giving options to manage media and other files on the device, as well as control their settings.
Ways to interface Windows Mobile devices with Windows Mobile Device Center include Bluetooth, USB, and for legacy purposes, Serial. However, synchronizing via the serial port is not activated by default, and it is required that the user alters the Windows Registry to do so.[8]
Windows Mobile Device Center has the ability to synchronize the following:
- PIM information with Microsoft Outlook 2003 and later
- Photos with Windows Photo Gallery
- Videos with Windows Media Player
- Music with Windows Media Player
- Favorites with Internet Explorer
- Folders/General files with Windows Explorer
- Windows Mobile programs and version updates
Major version releases[edit]
- Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3, released on October 6, 2006.[1] (First public release)
- Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0, released on February 1, 2007.[2] (First official release)
- Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, released in June 2007.[9] (Added support for Windows Mobile 6 devices)
