Mac users...( everyone rolls their eyeballs skyward! )

Are there any other Mac users out there with XDA II's or is it just me.
If there's anyone else, have you guys tried PocketMac or MissingSync yet ?
Ravi

Hello. I am using a mac! I am new to PPC, I switched from a P900
I am using pocketmac, It works great. I need to figure out how to use this as a bluetooth modem.
Matthew

im on a mac (ibook g4 12 inch) and i love it
i was a pc user for the last 12 years till i got the ibook, and as its going right now, my next pc will probably be a dual g5
anyways...
sucks microsoft doesnt make sync software for it, but ms did buy a shipement of g5s recently for testing virtual pc, so who knows.
i dont care to sync my phone with entourage or anything, my phone #s are stored on my sim card, and i use a sandisk cruzer to transfer music to it
i have used pocketmac 2.0 demo, and its cool, but it wont let u use the xda 1 as a modem, so its pretty worthless for me
dunno... my 2 cents thow.

What about installing apps from a mac ?
According to Pocket Mac, they provide an app which extracts .cab files from the .exe files which you download as installer files for PC's. Does this cab extractor work every time ?
I'm currently using my daughter's PC to install apps and I have to say, ActiveSync blows bigtime, so I really need to dump the PC connection and setup a Mac one !!

I can not install the Apps from my Mac, I need to use my PC

syncing with missingsync on mac
Anyone get missing sync to work on the mac? So far we cannot get the Qtek 2020 to be recognized on powerbook g4 17" as a volume in isync so missingsync can do its thing. Cradle doesn't seem to work nor does usb cable.
Any help would be appreciated.

i've been using pocket mac for over a year now. the new version is great. i'm running an original xda, not the 02.
QUESTION FOR THE AMERICANS HERE: where did you guys get your xda 02s? i'm really interested in getting one. of course my wife want me to sell the p900 i just bought first...uggghhhhh.

Yes, but has anyone actually install .exe files on the XDA WITHOUT using a PC and only using the supplied CAB extractor ??

getdropbox for win6.1 / xperia ?

Hi!
Maybe you have heard from the great tool "dropbox" who synchronize your files at the desktop-pc, laptop and so on - easy to handle like an normal folder:
www.getdropbox.com
It also works with an browser-client when you are at a "foreign" pc.
The only problem is - it doesn´t work with the opera-browser or mobile internet explorer, maybe it depends on win mobile 6.1?
The last files you worked with are displayed, but not the folders.
Also the iphone-version of the browser-client: www.getdropbox.com/iphone
So maybe anyone knows an solution to handle that?
Thx for listening and sorry about my english ,
Epi

I'm too searching for solution for getdropbox on WM6 or maybe even some similar software for phone-to-pc file syncronization. Maybe somebody knows soft like this for Windows Mobile?

sugarsync -but the free version only works with two computers, but the same 2GB as with dropbox.

Concentrate, thanks for a tip!
It's seems like a good service!

http://www.mesh.com/ - supports wm6 as you'd expect. Great service.

Try Iris browser
Maybe it works

If I modify a Word document (that is saved in a shared Sugarsync folder) on my X1 , it does not update on the cloud or my laptop (where I also have Sugarsync installed). (Though it WILL update the name if renamed.... strange). ANyone else noticed this? ANyone found ANY program where you can sync Word documents wirelessly BOTH ways, just by saving it?
Mesh is not available for mobile devices yet, as far as I can tell.

Linux-PC access on storage card possible?

Hi all,
is anybody here using Linux on his desktop like I do? I have Kubuntu 8.10 and wonder if it is possible to access the storage card of my Touch HD via USB. Unfortunately HTC did not include any adapters for MicroSD-card and with my Wizard I only used MiniSD ... Would be cool to at least have read & write access to the Touch HD storage card from my Linux PC.
Cheers,
Eriol

Add: When I plug the Touch HD on a Windows XP Desktop PC, on the Touch HD a window appears where I can select Active Sync or "hard disk" mode. This window does not appear when Linux is running one the desktop. Has anyone tried WM5torage on the Touch HD? I have heard that this app has problems with WM6.1 on Touch devices from HTC???

Hi,
I use Linux Mint (is Ubuntu with some additional program/feature) and when I plug in the USB cable I can see the msg: Activesync or HDD mode. And I didn't installed any program to support the PDAs. Once I select the HDD mode I can read/write to my micro-sd card without problem (even if the max write speed is about 3,5MB/sec....not so much). BTW I have the HTC HD TIM ITA branded, with Sandisk 8GB micro-sd.
Sorry for my english

no problem
I use linux and the hd works like a external disk when I plug it in.

Im on Intrepid Ibex here 8.10
I have the latest synce stuff installed and can browse the entire filesystem on my X1, install cabs and check the system information
Use synce-trayicon it's amazing!
If you choose that in Synaptic it should automatically add the dependencies but if not then I use synce-gvfs, synce-hal synce-sync-engine plus most of the synce relevant libs.
Oh yes, I've also got mymobiler running under wine, that's a bit slow but works as well!

Hi fards: That sounds interesting to me. I tried synce a year ago but didn't get it running with my HTC Wizard. As we are using (nearly) the same OS, do you know of a How-to? What programs have you installed for this?
Hi vivus: I tried it once yesterday; I plugged in my Touch HD and the control lamp showed that the battery was charging, but otherwise nothing happened, the Touch HD wouldn'd give me such option and Linux did not recognize Touch HD ... BTW, your English is excellent and I assume that most of us here aren't native speakers ...

I second Synce, I run Xubuntu and it works here with Evolution installed.

Hi, what exactly have you installed? I mean, which packages? Do you need to set up synce somewhere?
Thanks!

As I said, try installing synce-trayicon it should automatically pick up synce-sync-engine.
I've not seen a tutorial that is upto date but the one on the synce wiki will get you up and running (although the latest builds of synce on ubuntu seem to work very well)
*edit* I've just re-read the latest wiki on hardy and it seems irrelevant, mine seems to work out of the box with the latest synce builds, I do have the ppa launchpad as a repo but only have one file from there
I'm using it over HAL rather then vdccm or odccm (synce-trayicon gives you the option to change which to use).
using synce-gvfs you can use synce:// in nautilus (or browse this device using trayicon) to view the entire filesystem in wm6

Mac users with X1's (or any WinMo phone for that matter!)

So I was wondering, what Mac-users here are using to make life easier using a Windows Mobile phone with a Macintosh?
I currently use SyncMate (free version, just for contacts and agenda backups) and have tried using Doublemate to sync my phone to iTunes, but that didn't work yet and actually haven't tried anymore since months. So I just copy over musicfiles from iTunes to the X1 in USB-mode.
For movies I just use iSquint to re-encode them to MP4's to watch in the mediapanel. Still need to find a way to properly tag my iTunes library because I'm still getting 'unknown artists' which of course is highly annoying!
I backup a lot of mobile-snapshots with iPhoto, which I find to be an excellent and easy-to-use photomanager though with poor flickr-integration (I use flickr-uploader mostly anyway).
So, Mac user's of X1's and WinMo devices, share with me and others your experiences, tips & tricks of using two highly competing OS's!

I don't think many people use Macs here...

I use my MarkSpace Missing Sync for Windows Mobile (http://www.markspace.com/) to sync Address Book and iCal with my X1. I tried SyncMate (the paid version), didn't like it, think it needed more development; one annoying thing it did was try to grab every USB device connected to my Mac. I've also got Parallels VM installed, so I can also use MS ActiveSync.
I don't worry too much about trying to sync with iTunes or iPhoto, just simply mount my X1 and transfer files using drag and drop - keep it simple.
I also use my X1 as a wireless broadband modem. I use OS X bluetooth DUN rather than a USB connection, works well.
I don't consider OS X and WM compete at all. In fact there's plenty of support around that they complement one and other nicely.

I've been totally anti-microsoft mac-head person for a long time... BUT I've been a huge fan of SE phones also for a equally long time.
I was thinking of getting a iPhone like everyone else, but there were so many features missing you'll get on a "regular" smartphone. And I was also a avid Palm user also in their pre-phone pda heyday. So it was just so logical go with X1.
Just flashed to 6.5 it got rid of so many annoying things I didn't like on 6.1. Mainly on UI side. And I love the superhackability of WM/HTC phones. You can do anything like with them. iPhones a different game.
Basically the keypoints for me were keyboard, console-emulators and expanpability/hackability. Actually I consider my X1 as a nice little xtra laptop to live alongside my MacBook Pro. Nowadays I don't drag my 17" inch along all the time as I can do all the things I need on the go with X1. And WM is a pretty straightforward and basic OS so I get along with it.
My mac talks and syncs pretty decently with X1 via Missing Sync. It's not perfect but enough for me. And mostly the regular usb transfer does the trick.
And after founding out xda-developers this has grown into a nice little hobby to tweak around with WM

I use itune agent to sync my itune music on pc with my x1 it works
ok another option is the program salling
both are made to sync non ipods/phones with itunes
but not sure if there are mac versions of them or other options for mac

Are you guys also irritated by OS X leaving invisble files on Windows devices? I'm guessing it's something that has a good function within OS X itself, but outside of OS X it just takes up space.

double post please delete

Hey all, I was using Missing Sync from MarkSpace worked great, although sometimes you might need to reboot both devices if recognisation is FAIL.
Anyway ran into some problems a while back with restoring my backups with some roms just failing after a restore, figured it mustve been a problem with a specific contact, so now have two different contact databases, my phone and my pc.

What do you mean? To backup or update your contactlists etc?
I just use a free copy of Syncmate, I only use it to backup contacts. Other stuff I just drop as a USB drive.

Problem with HTC Sync on Win 7 64-bit

Hi there,
I got my Incredible last night via FedEx...love it! One thing I haven't gotten to work yet is the HTC Sync. I got HTC Sync 2.0.5 installed. But when I connect my Incredible via USB in Sync mode, it doesn't find HTC Sync on my computer.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks,

HTC sync on win7 64
Works with mine, Win7 64 on a laptop. You need to turn on sync on your phone. I originally had the same issue but upon investigating the contents of some of the settings I found the switch.

Win 7 64-bit
I'm using HTC Sync on Win7 Ultimate and Win7 Home, both 64 bit and no problem syncing.

I have it on 32 and 64 windows 7...Did you set it up from the phone? I did and it worked well.

Can some one post the HTC Sync for down load? I have looked in my phone and found the drivers you guys were talking about and they installed on my home computer. At worrk I try the same thing and the drivers are gone from the phone.

See if this works...I copied it from mine....

This one is the update from HTC. I installed it and it works, You may need to install 2.0.25 first then 2.0.33.

How do you get the phone to only update the calendar? I do not want the 83 contacts from work on my phone.

sync download (proverbial horse's mouth)
Not to imply that anybody on the 'net would possibly modify the contents of another's software for their own ends, but ... call me paranoid.
Here is the sync software download, directly from HTC:
[Edit]
Visit htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/[no longer a url, 'cause forum admin(s) appear to be as suspicious of the 'net as I]
AND, just an afterthought... are there differing versions available for 32 and 64 bit machines? I don't know, since I use my own methods to poke around my Incred (still having' fun).

I'm a "junior" member? Such a new sense of belonging, for such an old hack.
