1. The first time you launch The Missing Sync for Android on your computer the Setup Assistant starts automatically. You can also choose "Setup Assistant" from the "Help" menu to run the Setup Assistant at any time.
2. The Setup Assistant will:
   • Guide you through installing The Missing Sync and Fliq Apps on your Android device.
   • Guide you through the steps to establish a wireless connection between your Android device and computer, called "Pairing."
   • Generate the unique "Pairing Code" that you type into your device to pair it with the computer.
   • Introduce you to the sync features of The Missing Sync for Android.

If you need to, you can manually install The Missing Sync and Fliq Apps on your device.

Back to the topFirst Sync

Your Android device should be paired with your computer, and The Missing Sync app installed on your device. If not, run the Setup Assistant now.

Future syncs will synchronize only the changes since the last sync and will not take as long.
