Sorry, I'm not experienced with the Mac client. Have you tried the sonymobile.com support pages? or even their forums?
I did but doesn't seem to work. I don't know what's going wrong.

If you can get to a Windows PC I can help 
Have you got the settings correct in the phone to connect as MTP? Is it just the that the Mac client won't find your phone?
Are ou even supposed to connect in MTP mode?
(I rarely use the clients anymore I flash from flashtool or fastboot because I unlocked my bootloader)
I have a dig bick
You read that wrong |

While updating to new firmware it does ask to go on MTP mode. I'm going to try to find the driver and check. Will also try on Windows and let you know 
Thanks

After 2 weeks with 4.0.4 on my Arc I can actually say that I got worse battery time. A hand full of spontaneous re-starts and software freezings too. On the positive side there is less lagging.

Went on holiday on June 6, came home yesterday. My SI 1246-9197 on my LT15 is STILL not listed as rolled out. It's July 1st at the weekend and I am still on 2.3.4. Unfrigginbelievable.
No wonder Sony is on 3% market share and are becoming a total joke.
Can't wait for the new Nexus quadcore so I can forget about all this endless bullshit.

Mine wasn't listed but when I connected it to my laptop there was an update available. Try that...

Thanks mate, I will actually. Didn't have time yest, first day back and all that. But I opened SEUS and it updated and then started shutting down all the time due to "unexpected error" just when it was about to load the home screen. If it's not one thing it's another!

@mange69: Press power + volume down simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds and thats it.
I've tried this on my Arc and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas why?
Ignore me - just got it working.

I just can't believe this...is it me only or is ICS 4.04 still not available for some arc (Lt15i)s..  .
Ever since the start of 2012 i have been looking forward to the ICS update for my lovely arc. I have been searching the net...looking through all the reviews...read the Sony blog for alpha roms reviews...was pretty exited!!!  .
But after updating an Arc S(Lt18i) of my friends i was kinda dissapointed. Even touhg the featuure was great but it was preety slow. Even with 4.0.4 the arc S was slow......from the first update to 4.0.4 i decided that i will not update my Arc(Lt15i). Today out of curiosity i checked for the update t is still not available.   Not that i want to update but why exactly is it not available till now???? This is seriously disappointing.........

Hi I'm needing a little help please.
I was having the problem with my arc saying the memory was full in error which seems to be a common problem resolved by flashing the phone. Hoped ics update might fix it to save me a job but as my si is 1247-0232 I'm still waiting (that's another moan!).
I flashed my arc and reinstalled my back ups. and everything is fine except that I have one contact (my best friend Trish) that for some reason is not recognised correctly. When I receive a text from her the text is shown as coming from both Trish and my mum. If I reply to Trish my text goes to mum as well. The only way I can text trish is to start a new conversation each time rather than a simple reply. Texts from my mum are normal (well normal is subjective with my mum but you get my drift)
I don't have any groups on my phone though I have often text mum and Trish the same message. I have deleted both contacts and reinstalled them. Deleted them again and added them manually. When they were deleted it would do the same thing just without recognising who the numbers belong to.
I use Handcent but I have deleted that and tried just using the stock messager and it made no difference. I suspect I will need to reflash the phone but it's a bit of a pain and if anyone can help to save me the hassle I'd be very grateful.
Thank you
Alye x

I woundnt bother putting ICS on an Arc or Arc S.
You will end up with a phone thats slow that also suffers from software freezes & also software crashes.
Arc & Arc S just aint powerful enough or have enough memory to run ICS correctly, stick with Gingerbread.
Just rolled my Arc S back to Gingerbread & its wonderful, a phones thats fast again & doesnt repeatedly lock up or crash anymore
Friend of mine with a Arc suffered the same issues on ICS & also rolled back to Gingerbread.
Ive no idea why Sony even bothered to release ICS for the Arc / Arc S as its obvious that didnt really test it much 
ICS looks nice but the Arc / Arc S just isnt up to running it.

Has anyone got a link for UK gingerbread for LT15 so I can downgrade ICS? Main issue for me is battery time. |

Yeah, hope this update will fix all the existing issues with this current version of ICS 4.0.4 and deal with all sorts of lag throughout the UI. Pls SONY, don't disapiont again.
The image below may be considered disturbing so please view with caution.
A friend of mine had dropped her arc from a few floors above a concrete ground and this is the end result. 
Now, luckily it's fixed with a new display and it's just as good as the new one.
