Is there any way I can sync the two up even though they're operating on different a O/S? I'm not that computer savvy, so please, be easy on me. I tried plugging it into my Macbook using the USB cable, but nothing happens. When I plugged it into my roommate's PC, everything worked fine. But I'd like to be able to get my pictures, calendars, and everything else sync'd up to my phone, is it possible to do this with a Macbook? Or am I going to have to get rid of my X1?
Never used it myself, but I heard The Missing Sync is an ok option.
There might even be a few others. Here, let me Google that for you.
You can try Eltima Syncmate,
(I use it on my iMac)
They have a free version as well as an Expert edition.
The free version is enough to sync, but if you want to activate the expert functions (which are very handy) you need to buy a license.

Syncmate is best in my opinion, buy the expert edition, its worth every penny, the missing sync gave me a kernel panic as soon as i plugged in my x1
i just wish SE would make a SEUS application for os x too
Thanks guys. What are some of the expert functions that the free version doesn't have? I don't really be constrained by having a Macbook of everything I can do with this phone using a PC.

There is a detailed list on Etima's site.
(besides, all the goodies that are expert, are also listed in the freeware version with the tag: expert, so you see what you miss).

You got X1 as gift...
Why i have no such relative? XD
heh, I'm just lucky I guess.
I downloaded syncMate, but it doesn't look like I can access the phone's memory through my macbook. Is this possible?
Well mate if you have an installer of windows xp/vista, you can install it in your macbook using bootcamp. its easy to install and yes you will used to for your x1 without any hassle.

What exactly do you mean with "phone memory"?
You can attach your X1 as a drive to your mac, and it will appear as a disk.
Or you can sync contacts/iCal/mail/etc in any way you wish..
You can even browse the sms conversations (expert)..

I only have the basic version, but it doesn't let me browse the contents of my x1 on my macbook. I plugged it in, and it doesn't show up as a disk, nothing shows up at all under my list of devices when I plug it into my macbook. Do I need the full version?

Nah, you probably set the device to connect as drive, you need to let it connect through "activesync".
Eltima will start up as soon as it detects a device.

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to 'link' the XDA Exec with multiple Laptops so that the laptops all show the XDA's display? Lets assume all Laptops have wi-fi, bluetooth and run Windows XP.
Purposes may be to share a PP presentation, show a software demo etc. (I need to give a tutorial and demo in a room with no projector ).
I was curious if anyone has had any experiance with this? Any advice regarding the best setup (or software) would be great. Cheers.
Nobody any ideas whatsoever?
You could install windows media encoder on one of the laptops, and a remote control app. Then run the remote control app so you can see your phone's screen. Once that's working you can run windows media encoder in screen caputre mode, all the other laptops will be able to connect it it then.

You can play with Microsoft's "ActiveSync Remote Display". The tool allows you to work with your PPC remotely from your laptop/PC using ActiveSync connection. But you will need to install ActiveSync and this tool to every laptop
If it is a matter of presentation, why don't you copy your presentation to local server's shared folder and ask people to open the file from this folder and listen to your instructions, like Going to next slide... At least there won't be any hassle with intervention to participants' laptops and personal space ))
ps: if you do possess a PC you can run something like MS Netmeeting and establish AS connection with your PDA through AS Remote Display at your PC. Share AS Remote Display application and ask people to connect to your PC's NetMeeting or any other remote conference software
Let us know on your results
Cheers

Thats my last resort - I hate doing presentations like this especially when we have the technology to do something 'fancy' :lol:
I will give some feedback to let you know how I managed it (I will succeed)!
Cheers for the ideas!

I just had a look at AS Remote Display and it seemed this would do the trick - However, it does not work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Does anyone know of a release of AS Remote Display for Windows Mobile 5? I had a look around but there does not seem to be much on offer which is compliant with 5.0.
Right, another problem.
I just installed an app called : Laplink Controller thinking as it offered the functionality I was looking for.
After a supposidly successful install I tried to run it - no joy. It reccommended I uninstall and re-install the software, so I did.
When re-installing I got a message saying:
Cannot load resouce library:
\Windows\MWRes???412L.dll
It now comes up everytime I do a soft reset. Anybody seen this error?
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.
I have an X1i (believe it's a UK release because I got it from the Middle East), and I don't have a PC. I have a Mac
I'm currently using The Missing Sync to sync contacts and what not, but there appears to be a lot more I could be doing with ROMs if I had a PC running. For example, I am unable to update my ROM with the Service Update tool because there just isn't one for the Mac.
Any tips/ideas on this? All the ROMs out there are in .EXE format. Do I just copy them to the X1 and run them? Or do I really HAVE to have a PC?

I posted a thread a while ago regarding just this, whether other Mac users are using WinMo phones as well. Regarding ROM's, I still have no clue. You could try virtual software if you have an Intel Mac, I'm on a PPC Powermac so that's not an option for me.
Turns out there just aren't many and using a PC is the best solution.
Windows Mobile just isn't Mac friendly.
it's not just a mac thing it's also not very linux, 64bit xp, 64bit vista, 64bit win7, 32bit vista, 32bit win7 friendly
Bugger.
It's not very nice having to bum someone's PC and run hacks off it. Hmmmm...
I'm going to experiment with Missing Sync, see how far it'll take me.
I can run Bootstrap if I must, though I just totally despise windows. I'm looking for any way to get it off my xperia - everything I CAN do appears to be skinning, nothing more. Not even Android can be set to hard boot - yet...
Yes, don't ask...the xperia was a gift. If I had my way, it would've been anything NOT running WM.

hi i tried searching for this already but i just dont know what to exactly search, i want a program that lets me access my phone through my computer, so i can type up sms and then send it through my phones network. i previously owned a nokia and it lets me do this in its pc suite software. so i was wondering is there any software like this? or does this even make sense, much appreciated.
Try MyMobiler is allows you remote control you phone via usb or bluetooth

jeyo Mobile Companion does this plus other things.
Hope this helps.
I believe mIQ from Best Buy (formerly Dashwire I believe) does SMS as well as backup and other functions.
thanks so much bored2nite
this is pretty cool, i never though of the whole vnc thing, its even better that i can do this over usb connecetion!
i tried the other applications, there are ok, but not free :[

Hi guys
i'm really thrilled about the android developments for the hd2, but have waited a while until it had been properly tried and tested and a stable build was made...
Really would like to install the NAND android But..........
I have an apple Mac!!!

Sell it and buy a pc
Use VMWare or use BootCamp!

hopefully you have an intel mac, your only option is to use bootcamp. VMware or parallels will not work. There's no mac software for flashing
Meh, forget it.
Get the 3 sets of files you need, copy to a USB key, then borrow someone's Windows 7 PC, or go to library, Kinko's, etc and perform the work there. With the right files etc, the flashing process only takes about 10 mins max.
oh and make sure you have activsync installed. need that to ensure the drivers/connection is made
your only solution is to buy an iphone 4
lol i kid i kid.... I think you can use virtual box or something like that to use windows programs or just go to a friend house with a pc
my gosh... i didn't realise that none of this is possible on a mac.... that makes me sad...
i'm afraid my mac is rather old... but still working perfectly...
it's an imac 1.25 ghz PowerPC G4

yea you'll have to use someone elses windows machine...it doesn't take long at all just download the files you need
can i not just install the .exe file directly on my phone and open it up on the phone itself???
and i got something called " a solution " which is
1- Install bootcamp if you dont know how-to forget the whole thing
2- Buy a PC YOU WONT REGRET IT
3- Dah ... this is xda = Wm (windows) + Android (linux) no iphone so no mac sell your mac
no way respectively (regarding imac)

No, if it was that easy don't you think we all would be doing it that way? Do you not know anyone with a PC? I think it's your only option as far as I know.
hmmmmm i work in the grpahic design industry! we all use macs....
i'll have to go to a cyber cafe somewhere.....
so first i got the do the HardSPL thing and the Radio thing before i can do the MAGLDR thing and NAND thing....
wow..... i need more than 10 mins to do all that....
You NEED to use Bootcamp. I use my Macbook pro for all of this flashing I do. All through bootcamp.
If you try and install HSPL with VMWARE you will most likely brick your phone. USB connection will be terminated when the phone changes state using VMWARE.
Go to a friend, install clockwork recovery there and then you'll never need a pc again
you can flash through recovery as soon as you have installed it.

This one. Probably 90% of the design industry use Macs.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
A VM with direct USB access could work, but I don't know if there is even one available on Mac and if the Mac CPU's support it (you need a pretty new CPU with Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi) and a supporting hypervisor like KVM or Xen (on Linux) or VMWare ESXi4 or higher. Maybe VMware Fusion for Mac supports it too, they do a pretty good job of Video card passtrough but I don't know about USB.
But my point is: it might be possible, but why even bother? Just get access to a Windows PC or install boot camp (if you have an Intel Mac).
You can't complain now: when you bought you're HD2 you know that WinMo isn't really designed to work with Mac (you use iSync right? It isn't even developed by MS) and it never has been common to flash from Mac (I don't even know if it is possible)
