I have 10.3 on my G4 and although the K750i is recognised as a device in the system profiler, it doesn't come up on the desktop when the USB cable is plugged in which means I STILL can't do anything! Help!

We are all having problems with USB and SE phones on Macs. I have a z800 and the problem is the same. You will have to wait until Apple releases a fix, and no this is not an Apple problem as the phone came out well after Tiger was released. To transfer files to my z800, I use a MS DUO adapter and MS DUO reader and this works fine. Just have to delete the DS file created. We are all waiting for a fix.

That's odd guys. My phone works fine on a machine running 10.3.7 as mentioned before. Is there anyway of determining if our phones are different batches or what firmware we're all running?
One issue that I do have is getting shadow files when viewing pictures I have uploaded to the phone.
I've made some of my own wallpapers and as an example I copy over my file, let's say it's called mydesktop01.jpg, when looking at the relevant folder on the phone's memory card in my Mac OS finder all I see is the one file. When I unmount the card and check the file on the phone I get a file icon that cannot be viewed called _mydesktop in addition to the file mydesktop.jpg which views the image as intended.
Also, if I delete the image from the phone the shadow file cannot be deleted???
Odd.

this "shadow file" it used in the mac file system as a sort of index and is usually preceded with a dot. In unix systems, filenames that begin with a dot are usually hidden unless specifically asked to be revealed. That's why it doesn't (in the finder) show up on a mac, but it does on the phone.

YOu need a program to delete the "shadow file" while your phone is connected to the Mac. Do a search for either: FinderCleaner, DS_Store Cleaner, DeStore all for Macintosh.

There is a new update to iSync. Go get it immediately. It should fix things.

i shoulda been more specific.. i meant scrolling with a scroll mouse (not keyboard). it was a lil on the slow side before.
much faster in safari and finder (but its probably universal). |

I have noticed lower process usage. I installed the larger combo upgrade with the hopes that it would fix the USB error but no joy.
The thing I like about Apple/Mac is that when you install and upgrade, it is transparent. It just works. For Windoze users, it is like getting presents.

No worries. Run, do not walk from the USB cable. It is terrible.

I've installed iSync 2.1, but OSX Tiger STILL doesn't recognise my K750i!
Anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate for this to work!!!! Do I still need to use the fix JoolsG4 suggested? |
