An old newbie x30h here. Very dumb, don't know how to sync the download, help!!!

I might be just plain dumb, owning a x30h for more than 4 year, but never download anything on it, used it just on and off as a internet reader. Now after almost purchased a Samsung i760, I just realized I can do a lot with my old x30 still.

But I finally install active sync on my new vista computer, I have not succeed to download anything onto my x30 yet. I don't know how!!!!!

Everytime when I download anything, it stays at the download file on my computer, how come it doesn't go to my x30? I am really lost and don't know what to do. My x30 is still as the day it came out of the factory, do I need to update to wm05?

Firstly, as I said in your other thread, you need Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista.
Active Sync will not work on Vista.

Did you read the stickies in the newbie forum that I pointed out for you, Particularly the one called Installing, Running and Uninstalling Software?

You cannot upgrade to WM5 with an X30.

What are you trying to install?
The type of installation file effects how you install the program.

Generally,
a file with an .exe extension will be installed using WMDC.
a file with a .cab extension is installed directly on the Axim
a file with .zip needs to be opened (unzipped) and then the contents used according to what type of file is in there.

If you have an .exe
Connect your Axim to your PC and make sure it is recognized by WMDC
Double click the .exe file and it will start an installation window, follow the prompts
when it finishes the install to your PC it will tell you to check your device screen
Follow the prompts on the Axim and the program should be installed.

.cab
Copy the .cab file to the Axim (either by WMDC or directly on an SD card)
Find the .cab file in file explorer on the Axim and Tap on it.
This will start the installation, just follow the prompts.

hi, thanks. I finally successfully downloaded something. Not quite getting it yet, but I will read more post here. How do one free up the main storage? Can one put the program in storage card instead of the main memory?
