This is the second time happened to me, my pic folder just vanish from storge card, but I find it in Recycle bin in my computer but now my all videos folder gone for ever

What type of storage card you are using?
Can you verify if you are keeping your files in main memory and you synchronize your i-mate folder with your desktop, I am guessing that the reason you find them in the recycle bin due to the overwriting of files being synchronized again! Also check the ActiveSync options, did you select to replace your device data or your desktop data

I am using SanDsik SD 256 MB storge card

all my files in storge card to keep the main memeory free as much as i can, in the options i pick leave the item unresolved, but this happen all of sudden, the folder was there (in I-mate) for long time

Dear Esam,

Activesync is a very stable program. However it is very dangerous too. It can synchronize the contents for both your PPC and PC; however after you establish a partnership it stays. Personally I don't think there is any problem with your SanDisk card, neither your Activesync program. Hence I would like to share some tips that you might find useful (These are my personal preferences and not rules!:

1. You have to decide whether the PC or PPC is your main computer for your main use.
2. Establish Standard partnership only when you want to physically synchronize data.
3. If you are installing programs or copying files, establishing a guest partnership is more than enough. (Which in my opinion is 90% why I place my PPC on the cradle)
4. Always backup your data. For contacts and appointments, back up them in both your SD and Storage folder (as the contents of the Storage folder stays even if a hard reset is made. For full device data, use the backup/restore option in the ActiveSync tools menu for further save on a re-writable CD.

I have to admit, that "Activesync" needs more improvements to prevent accidental synchronization as soon as a standard partnership is ticked. More anticipation descriptive dialog boxes and confirmation questions should appear before any synchronization takes place. Hopefully Microsoft will modify this feature in future releases.

this is the problem with Microsoft as much as they have intelligent programmers some time they act like some one don’t know any thing in computers, but is there a program can retrieve any deleted file in ppc
