I've searched the group for info on this issue and have found references to
it, but no solutions -- maybe I missed something.

My T-Mobile Shadow came with OneNote Mobile in ROM. I purchased ON 2007 to
use with it. I installed it, the option showed up in WMDC on my Vista
Ultimate 64 system. When I try to sync, I received an error, the only info
being that OneNote Mobile sync 'requires attention'.

I tried installing ON Mobile over the ROM version, was alerted that I was
installing either the same or an older version -- but did it anyway. It
didn't help, same 'attention required' issue.

Not sure what else to try, suggestions anyone?

If the ONM application came preinstalled on you phone or it is installed
from the desktop version of OneNote, it should be the same thing, so the
message about installing over the same version shouldn't matter.

The "attention required" message - does it appear when you're trying to
install the ONM software, when you're trying to use the ONM software, or
trying to sync ONM with the desktop via WMDC? Is the message on the WMDC
or the device?

Typically that message appears during sync. You should be able to click on
the message in ActiveSync on the device to get the details about the error,
including an error code which will start with 0x8. If you post that code,
we can get you closer to a solution.

I found this worked

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._22773042.html

I found the solution. (installing Microsoft Mobile 6 does not solve
the problem -- forget about it!) OneNote does not automatically create
the sync file on the desktop PC, as the installation notes would
suggest. On the desktop, one needs to open OneNote and manually create
a new notebook, and name it "OneNote Mobile" (EXACTLY like that.)
Accept all the default options offered, such as the directory in which
the new notebook will be saved, etc. (It is always possible to move
the notebook later to a more desirable directory.) Then perform a
sync. Suddenly the dreaded "needs attention" message disappers, and
your OneNote Mobile messages appear in that notebook on the desktop
PC. There may be a few little glithches initially, but basically the
desktop and mobile systems now 'talk' to each other. To move the newly
created OneNote Mobile notebook to a different directory later, right-
click on its tab and select Properties. The rest is a piece of cake

I found reference to this solution already in the newsgroup, though the
notebook name was different. I tried it with your notebook name, no luck --
doesn't work. Thanks though.

As explained in my original post, this is happening when I attempt to sync.
The error displays on my PC, not the device. Clicking on the error in WMDC
(there is no ActiveSync with Vista) provides very little detail other than
'OneNote Mobile sync: Attention Required' -- there is no error code number.

What about an error code on the device?

Yes. I'm aware that there is no error code on the WMDC. I was asking if
there was an error code on the device.
