ok, just upgraded to a xda mini s and have also purchased an intel mac.
having absolute nightmares trying to get the two to sync. i've tried pocketmac and missing sync.nothing works. I love the phone but if I can't sync, then it's useless to me. I cant even copy my contacts etc from my old xda because the mini doesn't have xbackup and takes mini Sd card.
Help! wot can i do?
Have you tried the alpha version of missing sync?(2.5.10a) - it works, but I'm having problems with my calendar - it wants to modify things when I syncronise which I haven't changed. back up all your data first - address book & ical. I have no experience of entourage as I don't use it.
failing that, as you have an intel mac, install boot camp & windows xp sp2 and then you can sync all. works well & windows runs very fast on my 20" iMac. I prefer OSX though!

You would if it were a PowerPC powered mac, but virtual PC don't work on an intel mac.
I have some hardware & programs that don't work on a mac, that work on my iMac booted up under windows xp.
And yes, I can do it!!!! (so I have!)
keep this dialog rolling
let's keep this dialog going. it's great to see MAC talk on this forum. so far i've had NO luck sync'ing with my Powerbook G4. any one have luck doing any of the ROM upgrade?
i'm on T-Mobile in the states.

I'm using Missing Sync on G5 Quad with my Wizard. I'm also using USBSwitch, on the device, to sync via USB. Works very well when syncing with Entourage and iCal. It also mounts my PPC directly on the desktop for easy browsing. I used to be a PocketMac guy when I used my h6315, but Missing Sync is much better and it works with WM5.
Speaking of Macs. Has anyone seen an Apple-esque, brushed steel Today skin that works in BOTH portrait and landscape views. The one I have now does not work in landscape.
I'm using missing sync 2.5a10 and have issues with iCal. I have to input all new appointments in iCal, because if I let them sync with each other all sorts of amendments go on, even if I have not made any changes on my iMac or vario. Address book seems ok.
The other thing also is that to get the Vario & mac to talk I have to shut down missing sync, then open activity monitor, force quit all missing sync references, restart missing sync the connect using my vario. Then it will connect usinbg Bluetooth.
Where can I find USBswitch?
Just found USBswitch. works like a dream! soooo much faster than Bluetooth!
There's a thread going strong on this already:

do a search for USBswitch on this forum & you'll find it.
I found the USBswitch thread confusing. when i googled it, i ended up at this site for the handspring treo. is that the same software that would work with my mini S?
There is a thread called USBswitch in the wizard forum on this site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48251&highlight=usbswitch. scroll down to the bottom reply and download the USBswitch-ppc.zip. I couldn't do it on a mac, so I had to use a pc. - like many programs which come in zip form.
Can anyone give me any tips in preparing for this eventuality? I don't even know whether I should sync from the PC side or the Mac Side preferably. I guess if Syncing on the Mac side,,there might be a preferable program? Or is it all better handled better on the PC side. And syncing from the PC side not be as good as syncing from a pure PC system. Any comments, good or bad would be great. Thanks
for syncing with mac there's missing sync but i would just get an exchange account, then you can sync data with the exchange over wifi/3g.
for the pc side i would stick with xp.....easier and less problematic for flashing compare to vista, although ppl have done it successfully with vista, and ppl have also been unsuccessful with xp. but if you dont want to even bother with windows, you can just flash through your microsd card
Amongst other things, I have BBconnect that I have been using with my XP,Would I be able to keep using BBconnect on Office Mac, or just keep using as you said my whole PPC operation on XP and Microsoft office?
There's also Syncmate.. it seems to work for contacts/appts.. that's all I use it for (the beta and free edition). It supports much more sync functionality in the paid version.
I'm new to smart phones. I did not receive a cd with my phone - HTC Touch2T3333. I'm unable to connect the phone to the laptop. I don't know where to find the software. I'd like to sync my phone to my laptop for the use of the calander. I don't use outlook. Can anyone help???
If you are using windows vista or windows 7 download Microsoft Mobile Device center from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
and if you are using XP download Active Sync from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx
I'm thinking of buying a iMac with the new 10.6 Snow Leopard. At this moment I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond 2 with Activ Sync on my Windows PC (XP media version).
Is it possible to run Activ Sync, or any other program that will work on the iMac so I can synchronise my device?
Active Sync won't run on a Mac, but you can try SyncMate.
