Droid Incredible and a Mac laptop

I'm new here so please excuse me if I've done this wrong. I got my Driod almost a month ago and the salesman said I could tether my phone to my laptop. I think I just figured out that the Droid Incredible is not compatible with a Mac. Does anyone know if this is correct? And does any one know if any of the Droid's are compatible with a Mac.
Thanks for your help!

I have a Macbook and a DINC and it hooks up just fine. When you plug your USB cable in, the Mac laptop will likely pop up an error. Just hit the ignore button. On the DINC, you will get your normal screen to choose "Charge Only"..etc etc. When you choose to mount the phone, it should pop up two drive icons. One for the phone, one for an SD card if you have one installed.
Then you can drag and drop whatever files you want. Hope this helps. Good luck!

  • DROID Incredible and Mobile Broadband

    I just upgraded to a DROID Incredible and want to tether my device and use Mobile Broadband.  The problem is I have a MacBook with OS X 10.5.8. 
    Is it posiible to tether the Incredible to the MacBook?  If so, how do I do it?  The software that came with the phone was for Windows. I have AccessMgr on my Mac as I used to tether an LG Env3.
    Thanks for the help.

    You can as long as you are on android 2.2, go into settings>wireless and networks and enable it, but you do have to pay extra for it.

    The serial number for the version purchased on cd can be used for two installations: Mac and PC or Mac and Mac or PC and PC.
    The serial number for the downloaded version can be used only on two PCs or 2 Macs (generally), depending upon the version purchased.

  • Droid Incredible and GoDaddy POP email problems.  Please HELP!!!!!

    My prior phone (LG Touch) used mobile email and I accessed my GoDaddy mail account with no problems.
    I just got the HTC Droid Incredible and was on the phone for hours with tech support with no resolution.
    I am able to receive email but cannot send it.  This almost makes this smartphone worthless to me.
    Here are my settings:
    Incoming POP server:  pop.secureserver.net  (Port 110 with no security)
    Outgoing SMTP Server:  smtpout.secureserver.net (Port 25 or 80)
    Incoming Works.  Outgoing does not.  I can't believe this is a problem considering GoDaddy is the largest hosting
    company in america.  They assure me that the problem is not on their end.
    The only thing I can do at this point is use the GoDaddy app to send and receive email.  This sucks cause there are
    extra steps involved and it's obviously not as nice as the built-in email feature for this phone.
    Has anyone encountered this problem with the outgoing mail using GoDaddy?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Have you tried K9 for email?  You should!
    You should be ok using port 80, security type: None, and                           try checking require sign-in

  • Print design and retina mac laptop screen resolution?

    print designer here considering buying a retina mac laptop but concerned about the screen resolution and 2x pixels that i keep on reading about. For preparing artwork for PRINTshould i continue preparing my images at 300dpi at 100@ of the final size? thanks so much, claudia.

    There are only a couple choices. Either return the monitor for a brand name monitor that is Mac compatible, or use third-party software (DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X) to make up for the Optiquest's display driver deficiency and configure the required 1280 x 1024 timing manually.

  • Droid Incredible and 2.2 os

    Will Droid Incredible being sold now upgrade to  Android 2.2 free?

    Rumor is it'll have Sense UI along with some added Widgets that HTC has made special for the upgrade. I've learned that HTC does have marketing techniques for not just carriers, but individual phones as well. Example: The EVO may have some really cool feature that the Incredible won't have, and the other way around.
    Guess we'll just have to wait and see....

  • Droid Incredible and the new 2150maH battery

    I've been waiting and waiting and they finally got them so I ordered one as soon as I found out. I received it yesterday and went ahead and turned off my phone for a few hours to charge it all the way up. I then finished out my day and put it on the charger overnight while I slept as usual.
    Today I have to say, I'm impressed. I'm finally fully happy with my Incredible. I ordered my phone the first day it was available, switching from a Moto Droid and I received it on the 29th or whatever the release date was so I've had it about as long as anyone has. (although some lucky dogs on this forum got theirs a couple days early ) Since then, I've always liked the phone but I've been very, very disappointed with the battery life. It's just atrocious and altogether underpowered for this phone. The included battery is nothing more than a fundamental design flaw. It is obvious to me that they shipped with the stock battery to promote form over function. That's great for those worried about pretty, slim, shiny phones; but for those folks who actually want to use their phones to the fullest extent, it's ridiculous. I am simply not a casual user in any sense of the word. My phone is what keeps my life on track, as sad as that may sound. Everything I do and all of the info I need is synced in one way or another on my phone, and I felt crippled because if I used it for any amount of time do anything that I needed to do, the battery literally wouldn't last the day. How very frustrating.
    But that's the end of my rant about the stock battery in the Incredible.
    I can now say that I believe that my phone can live up to it's name. I've spent all day using my phone the way I WANT TO! Not in some cut-back fashion that allowed the battery to last until I get home so I can charge it. I can actually leave the wifi on. I can actually allow my GPS to become active when my applications need it. Tasks killers?? Nope. It doesn't matter. It's 4:30 here and I can say with certainty that my battery will last throughout at least the rest of today, and I have abused it as far as usage goes. I know about casual vs. power usage and I'm definitely a power user of my phone.
    Sure, it's a little thicker, but again, I'm definitely not a form over function kind of person. I'll take the trade-off. My phone is not a centerpiece for others to gawk at, it's a tool for me to use to do the things I need and want to do. I wish I didn't have to spend extra money for my phone to function the way it should have out of the box, but I was willing to do whatever to get it to perform to my standards.
    Possibly the best money I've spent with Verizon so far.

    Wow they finally came out with it huh.... geez that looks about the same size.. You should just go order the factory one from VZW, and pay far less, and have it in two days, and the battery life will work just fine for you.
    Don't get me wrong, I'd take it.... But you could survive on the 2150 if you wanted..
    Any word on extended cases yet?

  • Returning my (2) Droid Incredibles and going back to AT&T iPhones

    I decide to get rid of my iphones because of constant dropped calls on AT&T service in NYC area. However I was only able to tolerate the Incredible for 7 days before switching back to AT&T and my iPhones. Here are the reasons:
    1) Call Quality- The call quality on the HTC Incredible was horrible on both my devices. I don't attribute this to Verizon and think it has to be on the HTC end. I spoke with a Verizon Corp store yesterday and they said that HTC is working on a ROM update to fix this issue and there is no current ETA. What happens is on calls the sound gets scratchy and is very difficult to hear and words that come over the line keep dropping. So if someone is speaking you only hear about every other word. It is extremely annoying and I can't believe that HTC and Verizon would release a phone with such a defect.  Since there is no ETA for a fix I'm going back to my iphone since the calls are always crystal clear and the service sometimes intermittent. Here is  the link to a thread on HTC about the issue.
    http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/p/2162/7485.aspx
    http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/p/2539/9703.aspx
    http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/71835-call-quality-very-sub-par-not-signal-strength.html
    2) Ease of Use -  The layout on the Incredible is very difficult and not as polished as an iphone. Using an iphone is so easy. The incredible takes a lot of extra buttons to do some simple things. Like using the address book. The iphone has the alphabet Vertically in the contacts so you can quickly hit the last name of a person you need to reach.
    3) Cut & Paste in Gmail-  There is no cut/ past in gmail client. I primarily  bought this device because I'm a heavy gmail user and i thought it would be better integrated in which case it is. You can get all your labels, star items etc. But I can't believe there is no cut/paste function in Gmail client. What a waste.  Apple went thru so much when the first 3g phone came outyou think soemone would be listening or remember that.
    4) Screen is unusable outside-  The phone can't be used outside in any type of clear sunny day. I practically got hit by a car in manhattan because I was trying to pull up a phone number which is extrmely difficult to begin with ( see item # 2) and you can't see anything because of the OLED screen. This is a big difference from the iphone.
    5) Media Management( Music, Video) -  This is definitely a big downgrade coming from an ipod/ itunes experience. I use my ipod a lot so this experience stinks. Not as easy to use. 
    6) Battery Life/Multitask -  Since the phone does Multitask you have to always be aware of what services are running in the background. If you don't your phone won't last long.  Again I feel that isn't polished enough for everyday use and they are going to have to keep designing the multitask to manage battery power effectively. This reminds of the old PC days were you had to keep hitting CTRL+ ALT + DEL to kill services. Why bother, I can't manage a phone like a PC device. This is 2010.
    My overall experiece is that I think there is still alot of work that needs to be done on the OS layer and Hardware layer to get this phone to compete with an iphone experiece. Apple does quality very good, i feel that this phone has very bad quality. 
    How in the world can you design a phone that you can't even see the screen outside in the sun. Just mind boggling.

    i use mine in the sun too with no problems. there's a glare if it's at the wrong angle, but no worse than any phone i've had. you can also adjust the screen's brightness, etc.
    my call quality is fine, but i have seen a NUMBER of complaints about this...i just haven't had that issue.
    as far as my address book goes...i jus start typing the name i want and it narrows down to the the person i want. usually 3 touches to the screen and i'm there. doesn't seem to be too much work.  (type a and all a's show up. then m and it narrows to amy and amanda and i jus touch the one i want). i actually love the way it handles it.
    battery life/multitask....i downloaded an app killer.....and i just periodically kill the running apps with one touch. i get a full day off of a charge, which is good enough for me. i also ordered 2 spare batteries (ebay for $12...and they came with a wall charger). i switch out the battery in about 10 seconds in the morning, and only have to charge everything sunday night and wed or thurs. i've never had an iphone, but i've seen stories of having to make an appointment to go to the store to buy and have apple change your battery??? that may be exagerated though.
    media....if you're an ipod guy then the iphone is prolly better for you. i just don't like the level of control that apple has over everything. i have a zune and my wife has a zen. i find it MUCH easier to manage our music and videos between our devices and the incredible (particularly using an sd card). i've never been a fan of the ipod...but if that's what you have and like, then i'm sure the iphone is much more compatible.
    i guess cut and paste is an issue. i just don't use it or have a need so i didn't realize it doesn't do that?
    the new iphones are coming soon and i'm sure they are better than the old. hopefully they'll include some pretty basic and convenient features, like expandable memory and the ability to change your own battery (maybe they do?? i don't follow them...but i've heard they should be pretty sweet....and apple usually doesn't disappoint it's following).

  • Just installed a new Airport Exteme.  Set up was no problem however we have  3 IPads and 1 Mac laptop and cannot get all devices to access Internet. Every reset of the airport gives a different combination of devices allowed access. Any ideas as to why?

    Just installed a new airpot extreme with a modem to use as a wireless system. Setup was successful however with 3 iPads and one laptop we cannot get all devices access to Internet. Each reset of airport extreme results in a different combination of devices that successfully connect. Any ideas as to why?

    Well, this is interesting,
    Let me tell you coulpe of things I noticed:
    - Are you using LEAP as the EAP method? some config examples illustrate configuriong using LEAP with WEP keys. Forget this and use WPA2-AES.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_example09186a00801c40b6.shtml
    - in some AP configurations (AP1 for example) I can see that:
    wlccp authentication-server client any method_Users
    This means that the wlccp client authentication will use the method called method_Users. Let us see what is configured with this method:
    aaa authentication login method_Users group Users
    This shows us that the method method_Users uses the server group named Users.
    let us see what is configured withe the group Users:
    aaa group server radius Users
    NOTHING!! it is empty!! so when a client tries to connect it will try to autheticate it against the radius server but the radius server group that it needs to check is empty.
    so I think you need to either use the correct method under which the server is configured with the wlccp statement. OR you need to configure the method_Users with correct user group that contains a server.
    Check and let me know if that works.
    Regards,
    Amjad

  • Can I install the programs on a pc and a mac(laptop) with an individual student license?

    not sure about this

    Depends on which license you are having, if you are having Creative Cloud subscription you can install the products on both windows and MAC based Opearing Systems. If it Creative Suite (CS)  products it will be palform dependant ( mean if the serial number is for windows, the product can only installed on Windows OS ).

  • Droid Incredible and Holiday Daily Deals

    Well .... doesn't look like the Incredible is going to make the Holiday Deals List this year . HOPEFULLY, Verizon will run a special on it sometime in the near future . I really would rather have a Droid than the Iphone.

  • I HATE the Droid "Incredible" and I can't wait till my contract ends!

    I'VE BEEN WITH VERIZON FOR 9 YEARS AND I'M SO OVER THERE SERVICE! I HAVE HAD THIS PIECE OF CRAP PHONE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS (20 MONTHS TO BE EXACT) AND IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
    FOR STARTERS, (removed to comply with VZW Community ToS)! I HAVE A CHARGER AT HOME, IN THE CAR AND AT WORK. I'VE TRIED TURING OFF THE GPS TO SAVE SOME LIFE BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP. I HARDLY USE THE INTERNET, BUT GOD FORBID I CHECK MY EMAIL BECAUSE THAT WILL MEAN MY FULLY CHARGED BAR IS NOW AT 50%. YES, I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A NEW BATTERY. I MIGHT AS WELL GET A NEW BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS THEN. BELIEVE ME, THE "SUPPORT" TECHS THAT I'VE DEALT WITH DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN WHAT I ALREADY KNEW! "RESTART YOUR PHONE." "TAKE THE BATTERY OUT." "MAKE SURE YOU UPGRADE." HOW ABOUT GIVING ME A FREAKING PHONE THAT FREAKING WORKS!! I'VE UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE BEFORE AND IT SEEM TO HAVE MADE IT EVEN WORSE!
    DROPPED CALLS ARE MY FAVORITE PASTIME WITH THIS PHONE. YEA, I LIKE HAVING AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION JUST TO HAVE THE CALL DROPPED. I HAVE TO CRAMP MYSELF IN A CORNER JUST TO MAKE A CALL, AND NO I DO NOT LIVE UP IN THE TREES. THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITH ME HAVE VERIZON AND CAN MAKE CALLS JUST FINE.
    OH, I ALSO LOVE WHEN MY PHONE IS FINALLY CHARGED (AFTER 3 HOURS) AND I UNPLUG IT AND MY PHONE SHUTS OFF. NO BUTTONS PRESSED. IT JUST SHUTS OFF. IT ALSO SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN WHEN I TEXT TOO MUCH AND I JUST LOVE HOW IT FREEZES WHEN I USE THE CAMERA. ALLOWING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT (AGAIN) JUST SO I CAN GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
    VERIZON OFFERS NO "SUPPORT". I HAVE TO WAIT TILL MY RIDICULOUS 2 YEAR CONTRACT TO END IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET A NEW PHONE. UNLESS OF COURSE I WANT TO SHELL OUT $500+ FOR A NEW ONE TODAY. I ALREADY PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT EVERY MONTH FOR MY CRAPPY CONTRACT, SO NO. YOU WILL NOT BE NICKEL AND DIMMING ME ANY FURTHER. THERE ARE OTHER PHONE CARRIERS THAT OFFER MY SAME PLAN AND FOR LESS AND WITH THE PHONE I WANT. I REALLY THOUGHT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER STILL MEANT SOMETHING THESE DAYS, BUT WHO AM I KIDDING. I'M JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET TO THEM.

        Gjr8103, I agree with you! Having issues with your phone is never a good time and I’m here to help! I want you to have a working phone that you’re happy with and would hate to lose you as a customer. Let’s get to the bottom of this!
    From what you mentioned it seems you’re having quite a few issues. Did they start after a recent software update? How long is your battery lasting? Is the phone charging completely? Keep in mind the battery life depends on the usage and Internet access will definitely use up the battery faster.
    Let make sure a third party app previously downloaded on the phone isn’t causing the problems. Run the device in safe mode http://bit.ly/p5eed2 and see if you notice a difference. If you see an improvement you will need to delete all third party apps and reinstall them one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.
    If there is no improvement while in Safe Mode the next step would be a hard reset. Since you are having so many issues with the phone a hard reset is highly recommended. This will even help out with the dropped calls your experiencing.  I know this can be very inconvenient to do but, it’s a very important step in getting these issues resolved.
    If you are still having the same issue after the hard reset http://bit.ly/oOaRQt please send me a DM with your name and mobile so I can access your account and see what options are available to you.

    I am having trouble with my e-mail either showing up on my Droid X and not my Laptop or visa/versa? They are the same e-mail acct. with Frontier.com. There does not seem to be any consistent pattern? Any suggestions?

    Could you give any more details?  When you check your email on your laptop, are you using a browser or a dedicated email program? How did you set your email account in the phone?
    One situation that can happen is that when you get an email, it sits on the server waiting for you to access it.  Once you do it gets downloaded and taken off the mail server.  If you are using two programs this way (in this case your phone's email app and your laptop's email software) then which ever accesses and downloads the email first will be the one with it in the inbox and the other won't be able to retrieve it since it's no longer on the server.  In this case you would need to find an option somewhere in both programs to "leave a copy on the server" when retrieving mail.
    If you usually check your email through your web browser on your laptop and your phone is set to sync with that inbox, then you have some other problem.  You should send some questions to Frontier.com and see if you can get some help from them.
