1. Once you've finished collecting data, save and close your Map Project in ArcPad on the GPS unit. 
2. Exit ArcPad, but leave the GPS unit on.
3. Doc the GPS unit and connect it to the computer.
4. Open the ArcMap Project you collected data for in ArcMap.
5. Go to Start → My Computer → Other → Mobile Device → DataForArcPad.  You will see files in the folder that have the names of  layers from your Map Project. They follow these formats:
   
   ProjectName_gdb.axf
   ProjectName_gdb.axf.log
   
   ShapefileNames.apm
   ShapefileName.apm.bmp
   
   BaseImageName.jp2
   BaseImageName.jp2.aux.xml
   BaseImageName.jp2.ovr
   BaseImageName.jp2.xml
   
   
6. Copy all of these to the ActiveSync folder you used for your Output Options during the Check Out process.  Does this work if I only copy the .axf file? The folder should look something like this: "I:\YourDrewUsername\My Documents\Geo4939435713 My Documents\MapProjectName."  You will be asked if you want to replace the existing files in the folder with the files you are copying from the GPS unit.  Only copy those files that are more recent - sometimes background image files are not updated, so there is no need to copy/replace these, but any files with data in them need to be copied.
7. In your ArcMap project, open and editing session using the Editor tool bar.
8. Click on the Get Data From ArcPad button in the ArcPad Data Manager tool bar.  The Get Data from ArcPad dialog box will appear.
9. If your data files do not appear in the dialog box, click on the button with the green plus sign in the top, right hand corner of the dialog box.
10. Navigate to the ActiveSync folder with the newly copied data.  Select the .axf file you copied from the GPS unit.  If you edited data, you will see that it has been Modified in the Feature Class/Table area.
11. Check the box next to the .axf file.
12. Click Check In.  You will be asked if you want to check in the selected data. 
13. Click Yes.  A Get Data from ArcPad dialog box will appear with the Check In results.  Click OK.
14. Close the Data from ArcPad dialog box.
15. Save your Edits in the Editor tool bar. 
16. Stop the editing session.
17. Save the Map Project.
