Hi,

my k750i works fine with my Mac (OS 10.3), but there's one problem. When I transfer MP3s from the Mac to the phone using the USB connector, an extra file is created on the K750 which is identical to the filename I want to tranfer, except there's '.' in front of the file. e.g: if transfer a file called "Hey Joe" I get both the original file and a file called ".Hey Joe" created, which seems useless and has no function, but nevertheless it's there. On top of this, I cannot delete the useless file through the K750, and I cannot see this file when I browse the K750 folders through the Mac.

Anybody got a fix for this? How do I get rid of the extra files?

Thanks,
David.

This would've been better posted in the dedicated Apple Macintosh and Sony Ericsson issues thread - lots of helpful Mac people in there...

However, try one of the following:

Great, I had xactly this problem.

My personal favourite is "FinderCleaner".
It's sleak and easy and it ejects the
Duostick. This is essential, because ejecting
via finder, makes some new mess you just
cleaned up before.

thanx
