I had a Sony Ericsson W550i till today and I was immensely impressed by the fact that I could use it as an external drive or a modem and could synchronise my contact list and calendar to it without using any external software. However, the phone did not have EDGE, so I bought a Nokia 6300 today. But to my disappointment, it seems that it is impossible to either synchronise the phone with my Mac or use it as a modem. iSync, even in its latest version, does not support my phone and I just cannot connect to the Internet using it.
iSync only manages contacts and calendar. How do I send and receive text messages on my Mac? I have been using Nokia PC Suite in VMWare Fusion and it was very slow and annoying.
My friend found an old Performa 6300 from 1995. It's fully working aside from the missing ADB mouse. I've been searching for an ADB to USB adapter or even an USB card but to no avail.
I am a DJ and would like to get my mac os x to record some text highlighted and read out through the universal access function. When i click option + s i am able to hear the text highlight from a mac almost robot like voice.
I wanted to types out some sentences and record it with the voices given by mac os x
Those hacks using Jabber are not cool. Not only functionally but practically. If only MSN decided to use the same protocol AIM started with we'd all be able to talk to each other via iChat. Has anyone heard any 'rumors' as to future compatibility?
We have a small ethernet network and need to bring files from projects done on older macs running OS9 into new macs running OSX. All machines can "see" the printers, and other machines running same OS, but we haven't been able to get them to talk to computers that are on different OS. The older machines are different laptops running the latest software they are capable of running - OS9.The newer machines are laptops and desktops running Tiger and Leopard.
Is there any way to get them to talk to one another? Saving to floppies or zipdrives and then burning to cds would be very tedious.
I have a Google Apps account and under My Products I have Talk listed (there is no settings or account link next to it like the other products). I do not have a Gmail account. When I log in using iChat I have my non-Google email in the username field and location set as iChat. But I immediately get the message below. Ideas? I would like to not sign up for a Gmail account just to get access to GTalk.
I have a 2011-model 60-inch Sharp Aquos TV and I'm trying to connect my MacBook Air to it via HDMI. The two devices seem to be aware of each other because the MacBook Air resets its display when I plug in the cable; however, there is no picture on the TV. It's just black. I know that it's some kind of incomatibility problem rather than somethign broken because (a) it doess exatly the same thing with two different MacBooks, different adapters, different cables; and (b) it works fine with other computers (Windows). I've tried jiggling all posible settings through System Preferences (there aren't many though).
So here's the thing: is there some under-the-hood way I can jiggle with the settings of the signal the MacBook is sending out to the TV, to try to give it a signal it recognizes? I mean, simple-mindedly, maybe it's sending a refresh rate that the TV doesn't like or somethign like that - but System Preferences doesn't give me a way of changing that.
I am studying for a year in South Africa and using internet behind a college proxy. Beyond the annoyances of only having 300 MB/month of internet, I am especially frustrated because I can't use skype, ichat, or google talk to stay in touch with people back home. I've tried everything; With skype, i downloaded authoxy, which corrects for the fact that skype takes its proxy settings from the network settings (I'm not a computer expert so I may have that wrong, but regardless, I followed the directions and tinkered with it some more and it failed). Then I downloaded the beta version of the latest skype, per customer support directions, and still no luck--i can't even sign on.
The same goes for iChat. Even google talk, which operates within the browser, will only allow text chat. When I try voice or video, it fails. None of this happens to students with a pc.
Is there a way to set my Apple Airport Extreme router to block certain Google Talk buddies on my home network? Or do you know of a way this could be done any alternate way?
Anyone been able to successfully sync a Nokia E52 phone with the OS X Address Book via iSync? Currently there's no official isync plugin from Nokia, only these two third party ones that I know about:
This free one created by a user which I couldn't get to work.
And this paid one I'd rather not buy without confirmation that it actually works.
I am using isync to successfully sync my Nokia E71 with Address book but i run my life using Entourage. is there any way to sync directly with Entourage?
i wish to use my macbook as a bluetooth keyboard for my nokia E63 which supports Bluetooth keyboards. I want to know if there is any app, which can help he in doing this.
is available for download here: [URL] with 10.5 (Leo) supported. Integration into iTunes and iPhoto makes it really easy to sync your music , pictures and videos with nokia phones with automatic enconding if needed via Bluetooth or USB
I recently bought a Nokia 3120 classic, I was able to fin a plug in that will replace one of iSync�s metadata.plist list of one of the Nokias, and then it will sync and everything will work fine in Leopard 10.5 Now that I�ve updated to Snow Leopard it just won�t, even if I do the previous proceeding. My macbook paires with the phone, and the phone with the MB, but neither iSync or File sharing via Bluetooth work
How can I connect my Nokia 500 (Symbian Belle) with OSX Lion?I want to transfer pictures and music data.I am a not experienced Mac-User and I dont have a Leopard Backup.Nokia told me today that they dont support Lion.
I've just got a new phone and im having trouble syncing it to my macbook. Normally it's just a case of getting the plugin and ar she blows but according to the internet the new isync has disabled most of the old plugins. I know I can get them with nova media but I don't really want to spend more money on it... Does anyone know of a method to make plugins work again or know of anywhere I could get one? Actually, while were on the subject, does anyone have a clue why apple updated isync, removed half the phones and disabled loads of plugins for seemingly no reason??? just me and my mad rants
I have tried unsuccessfully to download Nokia Multimedia Transfer. I have also tried unsuccessfully to remove it. When I startup my iMac the Nokia application is open waiting to setup Bluetooth. I have tried to do this but still to no avail. I am unable to remove the icon from the desktop. There is no icon in the Applications folder in the Dock. The operating system is OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
My son's Nokia 5230 has happily synced with my Mac since July 2010, however since March we have been unable to sync. Each time we try we get the following message - "Monday, 16 April 2012 16:41 [Nokia 5230] Device is not available or synchronization was canceled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again. Device “Nokia 5230” synchronization failed."
The only problem I'm having so far is converting videos for my Nokia N810 (Internet Tablet). I used handbrake to rip my personal dvd's and tried using Internet Tablet Video Converter to convert the AVI files for viewing on my N810. When the final file is transfer, all I can see on my tablet is a blank screen, no audio, the file doesn't seem to play at all. Does anyone have the correct handbrake settings for my issue?
