@hogemeister Thanks for the support re the Mac/Pc forum idea.
@ratGT re [iSync Does all the backup I need (Phonebook, Calendar, etc.) ]
I can't run iSync  because I am still running 10.2.1 and the latest version needs 10.2.6 or something) - I'm holding off upgrading till I can get Panther. Does anyone know where I can get an earlier vsn of iSync that will run on 10.2.1 (assuming it will support my t610)?

Do like what I do - run software updates and update your 10.2.1. Then install isync.
You need broadband, though, the 10.2.8 requires a whopping 98mb!!! |

I recently found this "Services" menu app. that lets you send files or text or anything you want via bluetooth using the services menu in cocoa apps
click here for more info
Cool thread. And i second the motion for a "PC/Mac" support section.
BTW, It's Mac, not MAC.  |

@Macfreak7 Now that is useful! Tnx.
Like many of us, I don't make enough use of the services feature - actually, I don't really understand it but will try it :-/
Thanks for supporting my idea of separate computer threads.
@admins @everyone: c'mon guys and gals, let's push for these SE/computer specific forums - are you with me?

Hey guys, as ratGT pointed out, all the tools you'll ever need are built in the Mac OS. But for the P800/900 guys out there, here are some scripts to share your internet connection with the phone...
Didn't have the chance to test them, no P900 |

I am a PC and Mac user. I currently have 2 PCs and a Power Mac G4. In fact, I've had a problem networking them ever since I moved to my new home. Does anyone have experience connecting PC with Windows XP and Macs with OS10 via a router to share internet?

I'm guessing that now this is a 'sticky' thread, admins have agreed there is a need for a Mac [and PC?] specific thread. Thanks, it is appreciated 
@everyone Tnx too for supporting the idea. I'm amazed at the response I got when I started this, only on Saturday!
Already there's masses of info, tips, etc., a lot of which I didn't know so, Mac users, keep 'em coming.

@ snap-hiss
i tried connecting through a router and whatnot to have an isdn connection to my powerbook and after a while i gave up.
Instead i bought a wifi adaptor by some cheapy company. I attached this to my windows 2k computer and turned on "shared internet connection" settings from the pc's control panel. Then i set up a wifi network using the built in software in the powerbook and let the pc join to it.
Now the mac connects to the net through the pc. It didnt even need setting up as the mac gets the IP adress and other info directly from the PC and it supports multiple connections. Truly plug and play! That any help at all?
This is a heck of a lot easier way of doing it and one or even several generic wifi adaptors for both macs and pcs are dirt cheap |

@ mustu
no software necesary! use the OS X AddressBook, connect to your phone with the little bluetooth icon, and do a right click (or ctrl-click) on the phone number! |

that sms thingy doesnt work with a p800 or p900 though does it? i cant even dial out without editing some xml inside the adress book app and i only got that working once (or did i dream that?!)
i got a feeling that the symbian operating system does not allow for this sms and dialing out which would also explain why incoming calls do not produce a contact when using clicker.
pain. in. arse.
oh and by the way moderators - a seperate forum would be nice. just look how many posts there have been on this thread in such a short space of time!

@meatmcguffin I don't know whether we will get a new forum - at least this thread has been made sticky so it's a start. I never guessed when I started this thread only 2 days ago, on Saturday, there would be such a massive response. To be honest, I'm surprised and rather pleased with myself!!
So admins/moderators: are you listening? We want a *separate* forum ...
As to your specific sms problem, it might be worth trying Phoneagent [see near the start of this thread] to see if your p800 works with it.
Hope this helps,
David

it doesnt seem like the phoneagent thing works on a p series phone.
for anyone whos interested in getting the adress book dial out working for the p900 or other phones then this could be useful:
note: this might not work, i think my problem was that im not using the latest p900 firmware - oh and make sure you have the latest bluetooth update for the mac. and dont worry if this doesnt work its simple to change back!
1) control click the address book application and select show package contents
2) open the following folders:
contents -> resources -> telephony.bundle -> contents -> resources
3) there should then be a file called ABDeviceCommandSets.plist, copy this file to somewhere safe just in case.
4) open the original file with TextEdit
5) scroll down to near the end and change the "p800" to "p900"
6) restart the mac (just in case) and give it a try, oh and tell me on this forum if it works!
if this doesnt work then you can always change it back, or if you majorly mess it up then you can always just copy back the copy you made. simple!
this works for other phones as well, although with these you can add strings in the way that other phones have been added previously. hope this helps all you esatomacs out there! |
