  1. Sync settings greyed out


    back in 2015 there was a problem with this.


    I just took delivery of a brand new All in One PC with windows 10 Home pre-installed


    I set the machine up with my usual account and password. When I go to sync settings there is a message that "Sync is not available with your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this" Well I am the administrator because there is only me so what do I have to do to resolve this.

    :)

  2. Can't change content sync settings (greyed out)

    Here is a copy of some of the things that I've found and some steps I've taken in tyring to resolve this issue:



    Not sure if this has been reported yet but I have only just notice that in ActiveSync on my PDA under “Menu” and “Options” (which I can only access when I unplug my PDA from my laptop) I have two lots of the “Workouts, Meals, Health, Extras” listed.



    There is only one set listed in WMDC 6.1.



    One lot has been “ticked” but not the other lot??



    All are “greyed out” and I can’t un-tick or delete them on my PDA. Of course the “Change content sync settings” on my laptop WMDC are still greyed out.



    When I uninstalled the VidaOne programs off my PPC the two sets of “Workouts, Meals, Health, Extras” were still listed in the Options. This is after a soft reset and before I did a sync.



    I then completed a couple of syncs and they are still there, two sets, and one set ticked and one not.



    Although, after removing the programs from my PPC I now can access the “Change sync settings” in WMDC 6.1 and the four options are there but not ticked. I ticked them, even though there is nothing to sync to on my PDA, all except the Meals which won’t
    let me tick it. I can still perform a sync without any error messages?



    No wait, now I have three lots of “Workouts, Health, Extras” on my PDA under Options and only two lots of “Meals”!!! Two lots (except the missing “Meals”) are tick and one lot isn’t. All are greyed out still.



    I sync again and plan to un-tick them in WMDC.



    Now, without doing anything they aren’t ticked in WMDC, but they are still as they were in ActiveSync on my PDA??



    Soft reset again and three sets are still listed on my PDA (with the missing “Meals”) and ticked/un-ticked as previously described.



    Next I deleted the partnership from my PDA only, reconnected, set up a new partnership and ensured that the VidaOne options were not selected in WMDC. When I finished the sync there is still one set of items are listed in my PDA under “Options” and
    greyed out.



    Does this help anyone?

    I too have a Sprint Mogul WM6 device, WMDC, and MySportTraining and am having the same problems listed above. Sync has become unreliable and my 'Change Content Sync settings' are greyed out.

    Hi,

    To help you better please help us with the below information.

    • Did you make any recent software/hardware changes on your computer?

    • Is the sync settings is greyed out in the settings Windows?
