Since upgrading to Vista RTM and after loading Winodows Mobile Device Center
Beta 3 Media Player 11 only shows the local storage on my SAmsung I730
pocket PC, it doesn't show my safestorage or my 4GB SD card. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. 1GB microSD card in my smartphone - WMP doesn't
see if since installing Vista RTM.

I will third this issue ... Same device Samsung i730 with SD Card

Only option I'm getting is sync'ing with media, no syncing folders or
OneNote ...

Syncing directly with exchange so not worried about that but sure would like
to sync with onenote, folders, and SD media

Adding to the pile, Motorola Q with 2gb mini-sd card installed, latest Q
software update installed as well.

Same problem here with an Orange SPV M3100 and 1GB micro SD.

I have a more basic problem. My SPV M600 is not recognised at all and so does
not connect. I am frustrated!!

I had a similar frustrating experience trying to get my SPV 600 recognised by
my Vista Home Premium laptop after downloading the Windows Mobile Device
Centre. I had two weeks of intermitent recognition/synch. On the plus side if
I could get the pc to recognise my phone, the synch process was seamless.
Then, by accident, I discovered that my pc will only recognise my phone if I
have an internet connection. This might be the same with you Brian. If anyone
can explain why this I would appreciate it as Activesynch always used to
synch offline.

Sorry to hear that Bob. My problems with connection went away after my Vista
installation "settled down". A synching problem (sync failed - Active Sync
encountered a problem on the desk top) went away after I laboriously went
through my entire contact list (on the PC, in Outlook) and deleted all
duplicate entries.

I'm having the same issue: I only have the option in Windows Media Player to
synchronise to my device's internal storage, even though there's an SD card
in it, which I can browse through in the Sync Center.

Environment:
- Acer n311 with a 2GB SD card
- Windows Vista Home Premium

I'm having a similar problem, sync thinks it has worked and I can view my
files etc but it is not syncing at all. I either get 'waiting for network' or
it just keeps on trying. I worked perfectly before the upgrade to the new
version.

I too could not see the storage card from WMP, but found this link in another thread, FIX: Only the external storage is available when you synchronize content from Windows Media Player 11 to a Windows Mobile 5-based device with AKU 2.3 or a later AKU, installed Windows6.0-KB931621-x86.msu on the PC, and now it works.

I'm still having problems syncing contacts & calendar, but at least this is progress.
