Hello Gabster and thanks for gettng back to me.
What issues are you having with the P900, as I have one as well? Also, do you know of any way that I can read my NTFS formatted external drive with my Mac? I hae 6 gigs of iTunes music on an external drive and I want to transfer them to the Mac. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance |

My main issue with iSync at the moment is the the fact that when I pair my mobile and iSync together, the box that says "Set up iSync to transfer contacts and events" is greyed out! It did not use to be like that, no until I upgraded to 1.4. What are your issues? Maybe I can help. I am not too sure how to solve yous problem with the hard drive, I am sorry |

I have a sonyericsson t68i...originally i thought i wanted to upgrade to a sonyericsson t610. I spend half the year in europe (italy, mostly), the other half in the states. Not sure where will be spending time next year between the two. What phone do i want that will still work with iSync, and satisfy my network needs. T610 gets aces for europe, and cries in the states....T616 gets it visa versa...any thoughts or advice. This phone must be unlocked from any service commitment, yet affordable...nothing like a nokia 6600 with every bell, whistle and video....needy heh?
any ideas/advice?
thanks all

@~lozishere~:
Pretty much any! I've yet to find one that doesn't work - even ones that say they are Windows only on the packaging. Macs have generic drivers built in to the OS, so you don't have to worry if it doesn't come with drivers.
If you want to ensure maximum compatibility and support from Apple, you may prefer to get the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter from the Apple Store. This seems to be the only one Apple themselves 'recommend'. However, I know of no problems with other brands.
I have a Sitecom CN-500

@jools: Thanx for those links! Perfect forum behaviour  Just trying to down load the 1.33 update... But my net con's down... So i'm trying to d/l it from my phone but the b*s*a*r*s at o2 have a 5min downstream limit, which equates to ~1.5mb if you've got good recep. The download i need is, however, 1.57 mb... could someone mail it to me? Just if it's mailed, any filesize is supported... Strange or what? My email ad's lozboy (at) o2.co.uk
The url of the d/l is: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120321

Hiya people!
Got a bit of a problem. I have a T630, and a G3 iMac, i use bluetooth to connect them together, and it all works fine except when i try to use the GPRS as a connection for the net. Im on o2 pay as you go. Basically, it all connects in Internet Connect (im using panther btw) but it just wont load any pages, the only pages it loads, very slowly and partially are o2 pages. Any idea's? is this feature only for people on o2 contract? thanks in advance.

hello all! planning to shift to MAC soon, but after reading the posts here, seems like there is a lot to learn and it freaks me out. I am a bit hesitant now coz i am afraid i might lose a lot of data on my P9 during the learning process... is there a site or can anyone help me step by step for me to be able to successfully sync my data w/ MAC? does sync only work with bluetooth and not with the cradle? tnx in advance ..

@YET 555:
Don't be put off by the problems you've read about here. The vast majority of us have no Bluetooth/Syncing problems at all, and its only on rare occasions that we turn to forums like this for help. So you're only reading about a minority of problems rather than the majority of successes!
I'm not a P900 user, but a vaguely remember reading that syncing is only done via Bluetooth, not the cradle... Hope I'm right. I'm sure someone will correct me if not.
Getting back to Bluetooth USB dongles, I mentioned in a previous post I have the Sitecom CN-500 which I can definately recommend. I've just found it for 17.99 GBP on http://www.play.com for any UK viewers. Good price. Link is here
@~lozishere~: Was this the character you were trying to get?

@YET 555 and @JoolsG3,
Jools, you are correct. I recently(2 weeks) have gone from Windoze to Mac and will never go back. Bluetooth on a Mac is much more elegant and transparent than on a Windoze machine. My P900 syncs up everytime. Initially when you pair and want to sync, the box for syncing calendar and other info is grayed out but once a sync is performed, everything works just fine. I even sync my Z600 while I am syncing my P900. Give your Windoze box the boot. You will not lose any info at all. As always, you can make a boackup and burn it to a CD and then stick it in the Mac. The Mac will read the CD and let you copy your info back to the P900 via bluetooth. |
