Go into the log file and see on what item is hanging. Is is a specific contact or event? Almost always you’ll find it is just one corrupted record causing the sync to fail. Delete that record. Stop and restart your synch software and all should be well. You can just re-enter the offending record by hand when you are finished.

So in order to let our new Windows Mobile phones use the wireless network we needed the MAC addresses of both phones. They were no where to be found.

Turns out you must turn wireless on, on the phone, before you can find your MAC address.

First turn on your wireless on the phone:  then go to settings->connections->wireless lan->advanced

You’ll find all the information you need there.

If you have problems, go there, read the thread and see if someone had run across your problem before.

First if you have TCPMP installed on your phone remove it.

You will need two files
TCPMP Smartphone version

and
Flash Video bundle ( You need a free TreoCentral.com account to download the file. )

Both files must be installed on either the card or phone.

Do a soft reboot on your phone.

Go to YouTube.com. When it redirects you to the mobile site go to the bottom of the page and click the link to ‘classic view’ and you’ll return to the main YouTube site. This plugin does NOT work on the m.youtube.com mobile site.

Pocket PC Freeware also has this software TCPMP & Flash Plugin for Windows Mobile. I didn’t try the versions there. I see no reason that they wouldn’t work just as well.

The TCPMP player will also let you listen to streaming music.

If for some reason you still don’t get it working try XDA Developers YouTube Tutorial
