last night i bought a ibook g4...
(cause i think there cool looking and i need something new to play with, i have to many pcs and im getting bored )
oviously, pocket pc being a m$ product, theres no sync software for macs
so i did a search and found pocketmac
more or less does everything activesync does, but on mac os x
anyone used this before ?
also, i was reading the documentation, and it looks it installs some software to the pocket pc to sync with. also says when syncing, it considers the pda to be a modem... maybe this can solve the problems with connecting to the phone to use it as a modem threw the usb port ? aside from maybe the g5 desktop, i dont think any macs use or have used serial ports...
oviously theres no problem syncing to a ibm, just wondering how it works on a mac.

i've been using pocket mac 2 to sync with a powrbook since it came out. that version has some issues but, from what i understand, pocket mac 3 is outstanding. i'll be downloading it this weekend and will post back a review once i've given it a go.

Anyone else got this app? I got it today first ever paid app lol..
Works great over wi-fi had so much fun!
Just a few questions...it is meant to work over 3g but mine just says searching and nothing ever loads..if I click on my pc it just freezes! Whats going on?
Its working now lol THANK GOD I didnt just uninstall it...best app by miles! Works so well its shocking just like running a full copy of windows 7! I think the servers just went down at the wrong time...imagine how much money they lost because people thought it just does not work for them
I just paid for it too. It IS amazing. Now I can fix all my family's computers from work! ...oh wait, is that a good thing? What have I done!!!!
what does this app do
You install a small program on your PC and then download the app to your phone. Then, even through 3g, you can connect and use your PC from your phone as if you were right there. You can even see through any webcam you have setup on the PC at home.
When I show people my phone and they see my Windows 7 desktop on the screen, they are amazed.
Logmein does one similar but it's way too expensive at 29.99 This one is only 9.99 (at least while it's still in beta) so I bought it for cheap while I could.
I use logmein must say very good but i do not think their is much to chose between them, What amazes me is the size of the streaks screen using this program, the streak was built for programs like this
Can someone help

Is Android Tether compatible for use with Macs? It works just fine with my Windows laptop, but I prefer using my Mac and while my tether connection says it's connected, the pipeline shuts down after only 5 minutes or less.
It seems that I remember a very long time ago reading that Macs are not really tetherable, but I can't be sure. It wasn't something I was interested in at the time.
I am paying the $30 for the unlimited Hotspot.
It has nothing to do whether its a Mac or a PC. I use my tethered wifi on my Mac all the time (I don't pay for it). I've used it a little bit with my Dell laptop too and it also has worked fine, so that's not it

I've had Verizon re-provision my hotspot and I still get only a couple of minutes online with my Mac before it loses connection. Airport SAYS it's connected to my TB, but nothing moves online. Must be a setting on my Mac somewhere because I don't have that problem with my Windows laptop.
Any suggestions?
Install Win7 to the Macbook. It'll run cooler and faster anyway, plus you'll have better software options.
Alternative reply:
Install Ubuntu to the Macbook. It'll run cooler and faster anyway, but you'll have worse software options.
Edit: Why are you paying for tethering if you're using CM7? Why are we even having this discussion?
If you're using Imo's latest 5.1 kernel that's what broke your tethering.
It most likely is something screwy with that mac in particular but considering the entire OS has less options than my droid, it shouldn't be terribly hard to narrow down. If you're running lion try downgrading to snow leopard, it's not uncommon for the latest fruit releases to be overly fruity when it comes to communicating with industry standards.
Works perfect on mine
Hi,
just recently i discovered that i can run android on my HTC Diamond phone,
so when i found out just this week, i downloaded and installed froyo on my phone the same day.
well i must say, i love how it looks and how it feels, i have had quite some time to check it out, and i was hoping to keep on using it, for i hate windows but i have one issue.
when i reboot my phone in Android all works fine exept the Wi-fi, i found out that froyo wont recognize my device's MAC Adress.
i know... i am a true noob on this and i saw things as superwipe on the forums, but am not sure if i must use that and especialy, i dont know much of writing and changing the software, so please, if you have a simple awnser, or at least you can explain it simple to me, i would be pleased
All mymobiler threads are a little old so here's a new one.
I've worked with MM on Win CE on the iPaq and it was great therefore real happy when this week found out the MM for Android.
I have the G-tab with Mountain Laurel and BOUGHT ROOTED. My desktop is runing W7
The tablet connects to my desktop using WiFi with no problems and vice versa using the USB cable but for the life of me I can't connect using MyMobiler.
Their website says unknown sources should be allowed but I can't find that setting on my G-Tab - please, any help from anyone? Elsewhere, it was suggested I upgrade to Flashback - H'comb but I don't know how to do that I'm handicapped at that level.
Finally, it also says to install a USB driver but if I am already able to connect via USB I am presuming I don't need to.
Can it be possible that not one person is able to answer or make a comment in approx. 2 weeks.
Thanks
Hi all
I’ll try to give as much detail as possible. I just switched over from AT&T with an Iphone 3Gs to Verizon and purchased two iPhone 5's with a family plan. The next day I seen my friends Note 2 and liked it so much that I took my iPhone back and exchanged it for the Note 2 and paid a $30 restock charge.
After playing around with the phone for an hour or so, I installed Kies on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Dell Laptop because I wanted to sync the phone with my Microsoft Office Outlook contacts. I kept getting a "device not supported alert" from Kies every time I hooked up the phone. I downloaded it and re-installed it 4 times with the same error and YES the drivers installed correctly.
After a 15 page chat session and 2-1/2 hour (mostly waiting) phone call with Samsung technical support, I got no answer to this issue except one tech in the chat said Kies does not work with Windows 64-bit and that it only works on Windows 32-bit, but the guy on the phone support told me Kies does work with Windows 64-bit and had me reinstall it again and still not working.
I thought there might be something conflicting in my system with Kies or the phone, so I tried installing it on my GF's 64 bit Dell laptop also (which is a 1 year old system and not much stuff installed on there) and still got the same error.
After what came to be 12 hours of trouble shooting time, I brought back the phone back to Verizon. They were insisting that I was doing something wrong so they had me bring the laptop to them so they could try.
We reinstalled Kies and the drivers there and again couldn’t get the phone to sync. We tried the Note 2 on their 32–bit system and the phone connected. Then we tried an earlier Samung phone (forgot which one) on my 64-bit sytem and Kies did recognize the phone and wanted to sync. Verizon’s response: We have no idea why the note 2 won’t sync with 64-bit Duhhh
Another 2 hours of wasted time and a little worried, I told the manager to put me back on the Iphone which they did at no charge, but said I can’t switch again. A few days later, well I am not exactly liking the Iphone 5 and thinking to maybe get the Note 2 again. Before I do I was wondering the following:
1) Since Verizon told me I can’t change my phone again, thinking of possibly having my son bring his iPhone in and swapping it for Note 2. Will we be able to swap the Sim or something to trade the phones?
2) The default alarm sounds on the Note 2 alarm clock are to low for me (used to the Alarm sound on the Iphone) Is there a custom way to select a different sound via my own sounds or an alarm app that will let me program my sound?
3) Anybody possibly know why Note 2 won’t be recognized on 64-bit? Or is there another syncing software I can use besides sync??
4) Is there some other solution I can use to sync the phone with Outlook besides Kies?
5) Am I correct in thinking that I can possibly load my pictures, music etc on my sd card reader and then have Note 2 recognize the files on the card if the phone won't sync?
Sorry for the lengthy post & thanks’ in advance

What version of Windows are you using. Professional isn't too specific.
Kies does not support Note 2 on Verizon.
And yes loading your files onto an SD card will work.
The email app not the Gmail app should work for outlook sync.
Don't take my answers as definitive

1) Since Verizon told me I can’t change my phone again, thinking of possibly having my son bring his iPhone in and swapping it for Note 2. Will we be able to swap the Sim or something to trade the phones? ( Yes, this is possible and very easy for them. It's not as simple as swapping your sim card though. Tell them exactly what you are doing. I'd be amazed if they didn't do it. If it's within your exchange window, i'd go to Best Buy and explain your situation. Buy from them and return your other phones to the Verizon store. Best Buy matches the cheapest prices on all the major online sellers like amazonwireless/letstalk/wirefly. Good Luck
2) The default alarm sounds on the Note 2 alarm clock are to low for me (used to the Alarm sound on the Iphone) Is there a custom way to select a different sound via my own sounds or an alarm app that will let me program my sound?Just change what ring tone/ sound you want for your alarm.
3) Anybody possibly know why Note 2 won’t be recognized on 64-bit? Or is there another syncing software I can use besides sync??I had the same issue but got it to work after many restarts and uninstalls
4) Is there some other solution I can use to sync the phone with Outlook besides Kies?are you connecting to a corporate MS Exchange Server? If so everything will sync automagically (email, calendar, contacts, notes, etc.) Just need your corporate configuration. ask your admin to walk you through it. IF not, google how to sync your Outlook contacts with Google contacts via your required google email account. You will love Google/Android if you stick it out. You're almost there and much to learn about Gmail...
5) Am I correct in thinking that I can possibly load my pictures, music etc on my sd card reader and then have Note 2 recognize the files on the card if the phone won't sync? I'd recommend you install dropbox on your Note 2 and computer. It will sync all your pics. make sure you. Yes, you can just move stuff via the micro sd card too.
sorry for your experience with a Verizon store. I have a local BestBuy Mobile and those guys are great! Better prices, they actually match Amazon Wireless, Wirefly and Letstalk prices! They are truly great at the BestBuy Mobile near me.

Windows 7
or just export your contacts to a file, then import them in google contacts......which probably would've taken 3 minutes.....
google contacts
the alarm thing yes, you can use whatever file you want. just don't use the ascending thing, that may have made it seem low to you..but it slowly gets louder.
and yes, manually drag and drop files to the sd card.........
you've really been using an iphone for a while ehhh
you can even dld music online and play them on the note without using itunes...crazy right?
Ditch the iPhone 5, ditch kies, put your contacts on Google and sync away. As for not being allowed to swap your phone again, well you can always talk to a CSR and explain the situation and honestly the Verizon store is full of ID10T'S anyways so if anything they should have known something beyond sorry we can't help you.
I had the iP5 ditched that sucker after a month and won't be returning to the land of kiddie iOS anytime soon. Android does offer more options and ways to have fun. Sounds to me like its 64bit windows issue which I can say is a POS and doesn't like to work with a lot of things. I got new desktop at work and it came with it and low and behold I cannot use my Cisco webcam that I actually do need and there was no downgrade option to 32bit so I am still after 6 months trying to find drivers, options anything.
You paid a lot of money for two phones don't let them push you into using yet another upgrade they SHOULD make it RIGHT, if not go to another store other than the one you went to and explain to a manager or someone with a brain. I would also suggest in the future visit Best Buy, they have a 30 day return window and I have had to swap out twice on devices, they are more willing to help.
I'm not going to get in to all of those questions but the one about the alarm clock is a very valid question (easy fix though) for anyone new to android. I know Samsung is going for this whole nature sound thing but for the love of god the stock alarm sounds are SOOTHING. My personal favorite alarm sound is the rooster on Motorola devices because its so loud and annoying.
Samsung you're trying to wake us up with those alarm sounds not make us dream we're soaking up rays on the beach. And yes I know we can get different alarms and sounds before everyone jumps down my throat.

You can log into iCloud via your web browser and download your contacts as a .vcf file. That file can be imported into gmail which will sync with your device.
Thanks
Thanks for the help, I'm back on the Note 2 :good:
