Loading stuff on to my SD card ??

Vimal · 12-23-03, 12:08 AM

As you see, I am a newbie to pocket PC's

Can anybody tell me how I can do a SYNC on to my SD card (AXIM X5) from my PC.

Thanks

You don't. The PIM databases are stored on the main memory. You can install applications to SD card though or you can manually copy files there. You could create a folder called My Documents on your SD card and store word files (for examples).

Also notice that when you install an app through AS it will ask you if you want to install it to the default location. You can choose NO and have it install to the SD card.

So if I have to copy 10 MPS to my SD card...I would have to do a sync with my main memory and then copy the files manually ???

Am I right ?

Sorry...
I meant 10 MP3's

No, that's different. There are a few ways you can do that.

1. When connected via AS, go to My Computer, Mobile Device and browse to the SD Card and drop the MP3s into your My Documents folder on the SD Card (create one if it does not exist).

2. Use a card reader.

3. Copy via wifi.

4. Copy via IrDA (this would be painfully slow).

I used Active Stink until I purchased a Lexar JumpDrive Trio for my SD cards. It's much faster! Now I need one for my CF cards.

This will really show my neophite PDA knowledge but does a jump drive fit into the Axim X3??

No (no USB port) but the Lexar JumpDrive Trio uses sd cards as the memory which do fit the X3 (in other words, you can use the same memory card(s) in both the Trio and the Axim).
