Start syncing

Applies to all editions of Windows Vista. Which edition of Windows Vista am I using?

Before you can sync, you must first set up a sync partnership between your computer and a mobile device, folder on a network server, or program that is compatible with Sync Center. For more information, see How to keep your information in sync.

When you set up a sync partnership, you sometimes have the option of setting a sync schedule, which enables Sync Center to automatically sync your files at the times you choose. This is convenient, but occasionally you might also want to manually sync your files right away. Sync Center makes it easy to do this.

	To sync all your sync partnerships
	1. Open Sync Center by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Sync Center. 2. On the toolbar, click Sync All.

	To sync an individual sync partnership
	1. Open Sync Center by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Sync Center. 2. Click the sync partnership you want to sync with, and then, on the toolbar, click Sync.
