Accessing MicroSD that is used on a cell phone

Okay, I take the microSD card and put it in my new Samsung phone. It formats it. I take it out, put it in my card reader and plug it into USB. In Windows I can read/write to it with no problem. In OSX I can only read- not write. What gives?

Two things- I can read the drive. I can see the stuff on it. I just can't write to it.
This is normal for a NTFS disk.
How do I know if its NTFS?
Select it in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. A NTFS disk will have its format listed as Windows NT Filesystem.

If iPhone needs repair, can I use my old cell phone as back up?

If I need to send my iPhone in for battery replacement or repair, will I be able to use my previous cell phone until I get my iPhone back?
The newly posted iPhone Service FAQ states that Apple will be "renting" AppleCare Service iPhones for $29. I realize that none of the info stored on the SIM will transfer to my old phone, but I can always sync contacts to that phone from my computer, and I'd rather do that than shell out $29 for a loaner.
By the way, don't most cell companies provide loaner phones for free? Why is Apple charging $29... other than because they can.

Definitely...your iPhone sim card will work fine in any of our current phone models (as long as they are gsm/cingular/at&t...yada yada yada). Voice service will be instantly transfered to the phone and your data service will continue to work with the temporary phone's browser...Just remember, the opposite isn't true. You can't take the sim out of another phone and expect it to work in the iPhone without repeating iActivation. Hope this helps!

This is not Apple we are all users here
You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

Dowloading photos useing Bluetooth from Cell phone

I have a Samsung SCH a870, and would like to transfer pictures from onto a MacBook Pro using Bluetooth and iPhoto from a recent trip to Italy. The phone and Mac appeared to be paired and configured. Still iPhoto does not appear able to pick up the phone and transfer pics via Bluetooth.
Device Name: SCH-A870
Device Address: 00-17-e4-xx-xx-xx
Device Type: Phone
**Device Services: Voice Gateway, AUDIO Gateway, Dial-up Networking**
Paired: Yes
Configured: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: No
Device services list doesn't look promising. It's puzzling that the devices aren't listed as connected.
Many thanks,

John,
I don't think you can directly import from your phone into iPhoto. You will need to put the phone photos into a folder somewhere (such as your desktop) and import that folder into iPhoto.
However, that 'Not connected' item is not reassuring. You may have a problem similar to mine, with my LG phone. I can get photos FROM my Mac TO the phone, but not the other direction. They are obviously connected correctly, and I can 'send' images to the phone. When I try to 'get' the images from the phone, the connection is severed.
From what I could tell on LG sites and one of the BlueTooth ones here, certain LG phones just won't transfer their images.
The only way I have found to get photos from my cell phone is to email them to myself.

I use a prepaid cell phone , who elses does?

Im not a big talker on the phone. I do have a landline number, but thats only because I need it for DSL in my area. So I went with a prepaid phone, and I must say I am pleased that I can purchase the talk time I only need when it matters most. Each cell phone comes with hidden fees and other TOS lingo you gotta read before activating your phone but its not as bad as it seems.

Personally, I think T-mobile is the leader in prepay at the moment.
Once you hit gold status which takes buying a $100 prepay card any future minute purchase will last 1 year.
Here is why I believe they are the best "Emergency" Phones:
So, first year you buy a $100 prepay card and a $50 phone.
Second year, you buy a $10 card and get a whole year before it expires (and your $100 rolls over if it hasnt been used.)
2 Years of full time cell phone service with over 1200 minutes for $160.
3 years for $170
If you only use the phone for 1 minute calls, it is the best value.
You can easily upgrade to a plan when you hit that point where you use more minutes.
BUT for $40 a month PREPAY you can get 400 minutes if you buy in $100 increments. Thats a deal.

Does Qik use WiFi and Cell phone service ?

At home we have WiFi in the house connected to our Router, which connects to our ISP.
Using an iPhone in our house, using Qik,...will all the vido data use our WiFi connection ?
...to send a new Qik video ?
...to receive a new Qik video ?
If we are out of the house, with no WiFi available, will Qik use our "cell phone network" ?
(Which will use "data minutes" I assume.)
I guess this is separate from "TXT messaging", and if I have a limit on TXT, that is independent from Qik ?
Sound correct ?
Just want to have a good idea of when Qik uses each network.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
All depends on the connection type that your phone is using. If you are using WiFi connection with your iPhone at home, then Skype Qik usage - as any other internet usage on the device - will go through WiFi.
When you are out and connected through "mobile internet", then Skype Qik will use this connection for sending/receiving videos.
It does not affect your text messaging limits in any way, as it uses internet connection for sending/receiving videos.
PS. On iPhone (iOS 7 and up), you can actually go to Settings > Cellular to tell the app to use WiFi only, if needed.

Music on hold that sounds good on a cell phone..?

What is the secret to MOH sounding good on the cell phone? We have tried the built-in MOH file, tried uploading an MP3 via OfficeManager, and plugged in Muzack via the external port. All sounds good internally, all sound terrible on a cell phone. I have read some audio-techy articles on why this is true for hold music in general (not just Cisco), but what I really need to know is the tweak to CLI needed to make it sound right, if such a tweak exists..
thanks!

I have resolved this issue and I am posting the resolution to the forum to help others.
I confirmed the UC560 preferred codec was G.711, secondary was G.729. I checked it in CLI.
I contacted AT&T. By far the worst part of this ordeal was AT&T. Basically, you have to call VOIP support and ask for tier-2. No one at tier-1 (or AT&T support-by-email!) knows what a CODEC is or even how its spelled. Tier-2 knows how its spelled, but will send you to tier-3. Shockingly, my tier-3 support person knew all about poor quality MOH with G729. She logged into the router at my client (which was Cisco) and changed the preferred CODEC to G.711 and secondary to G.729. But that didn't fix it. I had to go back to tech support tier-1 and ask for a call-back. Shockingly, tier-3 called back within 30 minutes. This time she forced all incoming calls to G.711 and outgoing calls were left at G.711/729. And now the MOH is much better!
Something else that was very handy was the fact the tier-3 person could track my test call from my cell phone through their system and confirm which CODEC was being used.
BTW, if you plan to switch CODECs, G.711 uses more bandwidth than G.729. Your provider should confirm you have enough bandwidth to make the switch.

Thanks,
Sharon

Is your phone the LG Cosmos, as it says by your profile?   This phone won't work as a phone in the UK (which is GSM, and the Cosmos is CDMA-only). Don't think is has Wifi either, so Skype is out.
So choices are to get a "loaner" phone from Verizon's Occasional Global traveller program, http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Global_Travel/index.html
or buy a cheap GSM phone in the UK.   There are some great deals, e.g. from CarphoneWarehouse, which are everywhere...
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/ALCATEL-OT-209/PPAY&clearance=false
This phone costs 3GBP, around $5, you need a 10 pound top up. And there are many others. Just make sure it is unlocked, and then it's easy to find SIMs which cost around 10c per min to the US.

How can I use my bluetooth (cell phone earpiece) as a Mic?

I have read in theory it should work? I have a plantronics bluetooth earpiece for my cell phone. How can I set it up as a Mic on the MacMini? in preferences? I want to be able to use it in iMovie.
I was doing a search under Microphones, someone posted : besides isite and imic, one should be able to use a bluetooth set as a Mic.
MacMini core duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dell running xp

thanks. Shawk. I figured it out last night when I got home. Works great. Actually like it better than microphone (no wires) and sound is good.

I have a micro SD card that I use between my Samsung phone and MacBook Pro. I can copy data from it, but I can't put data on it from my comp; only my phone. Why can't I?

I also use an adaptor so it can fit in the micro SD slot on my mac. Does that make any difference? The files are the same format, too. For example: some music files on the card are .mp3 and some other music files on my mac are .mp3 as well. I'm not sure what's going on here.

1. Sorry i wasn't specific about the version of NTFS 3G, this link http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/2010/10/ntfs-3g-for-mac-os-x-2010102.html is the free version, you may see the known issues, although i don't have any problems with the app.
2. Fat32 shouldnt be a problem :S, ill try it myself tomorrow (i don't have my mac with me right now).
Edit: One thing kinda obvious and may have overlooked, the micro sd adapter usually has a lock mechanism on the left side, is it locked? if so unlock it.
