Active Sync for Mac?

Having recently made the switch to a Mac, but still owning a Windows Mobile (WM5) phone, I am finding it difficult to sync my phone with my Mac. I don't want to use Bootcamp or any virtualization so is there an option to get Active Sync on my Mac (mini)? Preferably free!

Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same boat as you: Just ordered an iMac, but keeping my UTStarcom PPC-6700. I'll let you know what I find out after my iMac arrives tomorrow, but I plan to try Missing Sync.

Depending upon the phone you can sync it with Mac automatically. Here is an article that addresses this also:

You can also try DataPilot and see if it will work for you. Or, you might try MissingSync (which is what I use). More info about it can be found here:

Take a look at "The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile", I think that's what you're looking for.

Oh I have Motorola Q, so it looks like (from the above posted link) that it won't be natively supported. Missing Sync is the answer, huh? There is nothing free?

Activesync for mac= Syncmate

Hi guys,

do a google search for Syncmate. You can download it for free and try it. I had a slight problem because the driver in my HTC Touch Mobile phone sometimes doesn´t start up on its own. I got a full reply from them in less than a couple of hours. I then payed the ( I think $39 but please check) and it comes in the full format and I cn sync everything on my phone, including iCal and Tasks. I don´t use a couple of options, like iTunes and email because we work in a secure Windows environment and my mail is not accesible except when I am physically at my desk.

Anyway, I got help on this forum so I thought maybe you were interested in my experience. I switched to Mac in June this year and I am very happy and even hoping my 2 PCs still on the home network will soon die!

Hmm, I downloaded SyncMate but my Motorola Q doesn't seem to be recognized. It just says "New Device" in the Device Profile field. I sent an email to customer support.

I use Salling Media Sync for my HTC Droid Incredible. It seems to work well with the free version. My contacts and calendar stay synced with Google sync. You can sync files wirelessly with Evernote for Mac and your phone. MoblieMe would be a much better resource if Apple would let it sync with something other than the iPhone.
