• IMPORTANT: Backup Your Data
As is the case when introducing any new software to your Mac, be sure to back up your data. Before you install The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, use the Backup command in the File menu of iCal and Address Book. In Entourage 2004 use the Export option in the File menu and choose to "Export items to an Entourage archive."

Many Windows Mobile devices come with Backup software that allows you to backup your entire device, or just the PIM data, to an SD card. If your device does NOT include such a program, you may wish to purchase backup software for your device (e.g. Sprite Backup from www.spritesoftware.com, or spb Backup at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com)

• Setup Assistant
When launching Missing Sync for the first time a Setup Assistant walks you through the synchronization options for contacts, calendar events, tasks and notes. If you cancel out of the Setup Assistant none of the synchronization plugins will be configured and you will need to manually configure them, or run the Setup Assistant again by choosing "Setup Assistant" from the Help menu.

• Getting Started Guide
For steps on how to register, setup and make the first connection to your Windows Mobile device, we recommend you thoroughly review the Missing Sync Getting Started Guide. The Getting Started Guide can be viewed by choosing "Missing Sync for Windows Mobile Help" from the Help menu and then clicking on "Getting Started Guide." Or if using the Setup Assistant, clicking the "View User Guide" button on the final view.

• Registration
When you first launch the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, or when you first connect a device, you will be prompted to register the software. If you do not have a registration code you may click the Register Later button to delay entering a registration code for 14 days. During this time you may use the software, but after 14 days a registration code must be entered to continue using the software.

• About Apple Sync Services
Apple's Sync Services technology provides a centralized synchronization database for any application that uses it. By employing Sync Services, The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile can synchronize with Address Book, iCal and other applications or Internet services (such as Apple's .Mac service) that support this enabling technology. Address Book and iCal are constantly syncing with the Sync Services database in the background. If you have .Mac syncing activated .Mac account will sync with the Sync Services database. The Mark/Space Contacts, Calendar Events and Tasks plugins synchronize your Sync Services database with the contacts, events and tasks on your Windows Mobile device. To learn more about Apple's Sync Services technology, view our knowledgebase article on Sync Services.

During the first sync you will see a Sync Alert asking if you want to Allow The Missing Sync to sync with Address Book or iCal. Choose Allow.

To force the Mac to overwrite the device during the first sync, in addition to choosing Allow, check the box 'Delete all contacts (or calendars/tasks) from Missing Sync for Windows Mobile before synching.'  This option will erase the contacts (or calendars/tasks) from the device before synchronizing.

This dialog is only displayed once per data type (e.g. contacts, calendar, tasks, etc.)! If you choose "Don't Allow" the Missing Sync will NOT be able to sync that data type during your first sync operation. If you disconnect your device, quit the Missing Sync, restart the Mac, connect the device and try to sync again you will get the same dialog again and can then choose "Allow."

• Known Issues & Limitations
Synchronizing between the Mac OS and Windows Mobile is very complex. There may be some known issues and limitations, depending on what applications you choose to sync with or what type of device you have. Click here to review a list of many known issues and limitations.

• Uninstalling The Missing Sync
