Hi
Has anyone had a problem trying to use sync manager, as I can't even find the option use choose it, from the USB option,
I installed this one from the htc website (arrgh I cant post links yet) which I got from the one x+ support page
dl4.htc.com/download/htc-sync-manager/setup_1.1.48.0_htc.exe
On the phone there isnt an option to select htc sync like I had on other htc phones, but once installed the software on the pc detected it correctly and let me sync media, contacts etc
I had previously installed 3.3.10, but that didnt detect my phone

Thanks for that info. :good: i was wondering the same thing.
Sync
Well that fine now.
Just the problem with the button control when useing headphone.
That being when you click the button to forward or rewind track you dial the last number you used
A bit of a pain when walking the dog...
Don't use it...

Hi there. Honestly, sync manager is kind of garbage (for me at least). It's way too slow and as we can see, doesn't always recognize your device.
Download Android File Transfer. You can put music, photos, and all kinds of other things on much more quickly.

this zune software which you have to use with the lumia 800 is one massive fooking fail...
its utter sh*t
all i want to do is transfer a video from the phone to the computer but it wont let me.
fail fail fail
wow more fail from nokia
the phone doesnt let you use the photobucket web site, so i think ok there must be an app and perfect there is.
except the app doesnt actually work, fail fail fooking fail...
getting very pissed off right now
Funny, I can do both of those things very easily. I'd chalk it up to user error.
Instructions please?
Have tried Zune instructions but they were no good
Click the phone that pops up in the lower left corner, click "videos" click and drag the video to the computer in the lower left corner, let it sync, video will be in either your primary pictures or videos folder.
every guide says drag to the computer icon which i do but it does not appear any any folder. ive even searched the computer for the file name and nothing

if you go to settings and collection it shows you the folders you have setup for video music pics etc you can change the folders there as well. The software is the easiest and best around. I understand though it is different to others but once you use it you will find other media apps dire. ie the way itunes handles album info and artwork it so far behind its not even funny.
Is it possible your having issues because a folder isnt setup? are you dragging the file to the computer icon and when you do is it saying its syncing it?
So how do I go about using photobucket then?
I just installed the photobucket app and no problems.
Just installed, logged in, and can upload, browse and download pictures without any problems??
I googled "adding folders to zune library" and the first result has step by step instructions, or just put your videos in My Videos. I would link it but I cant cus I'm a new user, well new poster, been reading on here for years
Hope you get um up and running!!

I was a bit reluctant when I realised I had to use Zune (smacks of Microsoft iTunes to me). However, two words - Wireless Sync !!! What a bloody brilliant feature.

Yeah, it's great (although better on the Zune HD where you could manually start wireless sync instead of having to have it connected to power).
I have 2 auto playlists, Top 1000 and New 500. These automatically update and then just automatically sync using wireless sync.
what's wireless sync and how does it work could someone explain?
Connect your phone to your home wifi then use the USB cable to plug it into the laptop. Click on settings (top right) in zune and then wireless sync, turn it on.
Now when you're connected to wifi and plug the phone into a power source it'll automatically start syncing over wifi.
So all it does is sync with the Zune software

Another nice feature is the web marketplace. You can install apps from this and it will install instantly on your phone even when your phone isn't connected to PC or power.

If you've taken pictures on your phone it will automatically sync them with your pc or if you have added new tunes on your pc library it will sync them to the phone and all that sort of stuff. If you have a pc running zune and you plug in your phone to charge anywhere in the same network, the sync will automatically start
Ok cheers, don't think that helps with my work issue as there is no wifi
getting very very annoyed
anyone had any issues connecting to zune
my phone wont have it at all
it starts when connected but wont leave the connecting to phone screen.
im about to chuck it at the wall
shame its a great phone aside but it may well be going back at this rate
that and when zune starts it says my video wont display properly
i bought my vaio 3 months ago with a ati radeon graphics card it skips past this but its going to be another point of stress ive had this nokia 5 days aaaarrrggggggghhh
Another great thing about the zune sooftware is the way it collects album info. Its nothing short of perfect. itunes really sucked and was rubbish. Zune at least lets you edit by album add your own art if not on the database edit the track titles everything and really easy. Nothing i have used is anywhere near as good not even close!
Everytime I launch htc sync it says that no devices are connected. However my phone says its Connected. Then I got a popup from the app saying that it has closed unexpectedly.
I am running Windows 7 x64.
Also if this doesn't work is there another alternative?

I don't think anyone really uses HTC sync here, you're probably better off calling HTC themselves...why are you still using USB to sync...everything can be done over the cloud now through google, even connect with outlook etc. There are even task programs in the market which sync to google and outlook over the cloud.

I'm sorry I don't have my amaze with me for a few days, SO I cannot directly help you get HTC sync working...But when I get it I'll get back to you...In the mean time, contact customer service, unless you're unlocked...in which case, hopefully someone who uses htc sync can help for now
I'm having trouble with Notpod (formally iTunes Agent), here's the problem: When I try to select the folder on my Sony to copy to, I cant... it's grayed out. I believe this may be due to needing to change the USB connection mode but I cannot do this on the phone.
I've already seen that my laptop sees my Sony as a mobile device in stead of a removable disk, part of the whole problem I think?
Btw, I noticed that someone already asked the same question, but no one answered it in the end...
Try this maybe it help u

Itunes can't sync with XPS cuz its connected via MTP mode and not MSC. If your phone is unlocked and rooted, what gm007 suggested might help.
Sony Mobile did release a Mac apps for XPS, Sony Bridge for Mac. Although a lot of users are reporting issues of processes hanging endlessly while syncing music and photos. Apparently, they are aware of this issue and are still investigating and gathering more info.
I think DoubleTwist allows you to do this?
Not sure if it works with the SXS though
Thanks for all the advice! Anyone has another suggestion than DoubleTwist?

So I've been using CM10 as a daily driver for quite a while now (at least since they got their first stable release) and I decided to try out the new JB official update, but since I remembered just how much I loved MeanROM with ICS I decided to use the newest MeanBean instead. After going through everything and setting up my device again, I updated my HTC Sync Manager to sync all my music and stuff again (I use this because it works the best and is the most streamlined), but when I went to do it, for some reason it wouldn't recognize my phone or connect, so after checking I saw that some of the drivers failed to install. After finding the drivers from the process it takes to root the EVO I installed and then reinstalled Sync Manager...still nothing. I went into the phone settings and saw that the option "USB Storage" said "unavailable" and found that this must have been the reason why. Is there anyway to fix this?

USB Storage is for a USB drive connected to your phone using a USB OnTheGo wire (new feature). Make sure you select USB File Sharing notification and make sure HTC Sync Manager is selected (it is by default I think). Under My Computer you should see a device called "EVO" (this is MTP).
If you still have problems uninstall everything related to HTC (drivers, sync manager etc.) and restart your computer. Reconnect your phone and go into device manager and uninstall anything says My HTC or Android Phone then unplug your phone and install HTC Sync Manager again. Lastly, plug in your phone and you should be good to go. Make sure you plug your phone in when Sync Mgr. is done or else Windows will install drivers from the net automatically.
I had had it on MTP and somehow it wouldn't connect to HTC sync manager still, I'll try it again tonight.
Another thing I've found today that the headphones won't connect and it only plays through the speaker

Just installed Sync Manager and had the same issue. I had to restart my PC after installing Sync Manager and everything connected. Now if I could only tell it where to store my music/pictures (external SD) it'd be a useful app for me.
EDIT: Well I see it does use the external SD but the path it creates is terrible. ext_sd\mobile\D\Media\Music\Artist\Album\Song.mp3

I'd recommend using Disk Drive + WMP12 (Window 7 & 8). It works great and it's quicker than moving folders around. If you have it on MTP it'll convert everything to WMA first so I recommended the Disk Drive method.
I have searched, Googled,etc. and have concluded that there is no easy or consistent way to sync photos, video or music between the HOX+ and Macs running Mountain Lion. If this is wrong I would very much appreciate any info on how one is able to do this.
This is the one thing that keeps me from buying the HOX+ over the Galaxy S3 which has the Kies and Kies Air apps and the Nokia 920 which has the WindowsPhone app. I have tried syncing both the S3 and 920 with my iMac with 10.8.2 and while neither sync is as trouble free as the iPhone5 at least with a little tweaking one can get the job done.
Does HTC really intend to just ignore the Mac base or is this situation just temporary?
Thanks for any help.
They are made to sync with the Google options, not the Apple options. If you want it to sync up right then use Google mail, music, talk, Picasa, G+ and other things. If you expect it to sync with iPhoto and iTunes then you are kidding yourself, I'd NEVER expect good support for those.
I'm a Mac user too, but I live in reality.

It feels like you didn't even read his post... he's not asking for solutions that sync with the native Mac applications, he just wants sync software of some sort that supports the HOX+.
fmcgirt, have you looked at HTC Sync? I've never used it, but it seems to fill the role you are looking for. http://www.htc.com/uk/software/htc-sync-manager/
Thanks for the response but the reality of my situation is that we have family members with iPhones and Android devices which currently all coexist nicely (sync contacts and calendars) on iCloud and music and photos with iTunes and iPhoto. And I don't expect good support but my point was that I haven't found ANY support for the HOX+ - not even that of the Kies variety for the S3. So I guess you are telling me that in order to own the HOX+ I will need to convert everything to Google services which of course can't happen.

When I was searching I think I found that HTC Sync has not been updated to work with Mtn Lion or at least nobody had seemed to get it to work yet. If it would work it would be fine or also Double Twist or something like that but there seems to be some "gotchas" in everything I looked at. Thanks for the suggestion. It was the type of feedback I was hoping for.

That is really good news about the HOX+. I also have gotten it to work using AirSync for the G3 but that is the first I had heard about the HOX+.
And you were using Mountain Lion (10.8) on your Mac?

Have you been able to get it to work over USB? I had it working with airsync when I was at home, but now I am at school and they block network communication within the network and I can't get airsync to work. Any luck with USB?
I downloaded the latest HTC Sync Manager and it works fine on my iMac running 10.8.2 and the HOX+. Had to view the Gallery Camera Shots in the Finder,
move them to the Desktop and then import to iPhoto but otherwise all else seems OK.

I admit the sync stuff can be flaky. What works perfectly fine one time will not connect the next time, etc. What seems to help for me when I can't connect when I know nothing has changed from the last time when it worked is to restart both the Mac and the phone. If that fails then I try uninstalling and reinstalling the Mac apps and usually between these two things I can get the stuff to work but it sure can be a pain.
I would check your USB cable. For the longest time, I could not get things to sync with my Mac until my friend let me borrow his USB cable. Granted I'm running Lion, but I think trying a different USB cable would help. Try a shorter cable.

I think it must be something to do with my phone. I am using the stock cable and never had a huge issue syncing with HTC Sync Manager (crap I know, but on USB it usually seems to work) and then I put Viper XL 1.2 on it and now it cuts out midsync most of the time, sometimes android file transfer works and sometimes not. Just seems hit and miss.

You are not alone, HTC sync manager for OSX is garbage. I can't get mine to sync most of the time. I had to go with doubletwist, which I don't care for, but heck what can you do.
I ended up going with iSyncr. I would agree with what other people say about it being flaky, and with trying a shorter cable.
For file transfer, I've been using the Android File Transfer program from Google (can't find the link right now), and it also works sporadically. The most annoying thing with it, though, is that you need to keep your screen on while transferring files, or else it seems like the Mac thinks the phone is leaving USB Debugging mode.
My wife has a crappy old Dell that I had to break out when I unlocked and rooted with Hasoon's tool. Otherwise you should be able to get by without it.
FWIW, iSyncr did just an okay job with iTunes playlist. I'm thinking of just going with Spotify for all my music since I'm a subscriber anyway.
As for calendar, photos, etc, it would seem that the best bet would be set up your Apple services to sync up with your google account. For example, my wife has an iPhone 4, and I set her whole phone up to sync with gCal, gMail, etc. If she had a Mac I'd probably just set iCal and Address Book to sync with that. As for photos, I think you may be SOL, unless iPhoto has some sort Dropbox sync or other service I'm not aware of.
