Android phone to Mac computer syncing question

Seeking input on Easy Phone Sync. Considering getting Galaxy phone, but would need to sync with Mac computer. Reading very different experiences by others online. Thanks.

I used to you apples iSync to sync my phones prior to getting an iPhone.  You can sync other phones to your mac, but not with itunes (officially).  My Blackberry has software that i used to sync it, and I'm sure other phones do the same.
Here are some ways to do it without official software

  • Android phone and apple computer?

    I just ordered a MBP 13". It should be coming in the mail within the next few days. I am also in the market for a new phone. All along I had been planning to go with the Samsung Galaxy 3. Now that I got an apple computer, though, I'm wondering if I should wait for the next iphone to come out and get it instead. I guess my question is, would i have a lot of issues with my android phone cooperating with my mbp? Is it a bad idea? Thanks in advance for the advice!!

    I had an android (Droid X) and had no issues while connecting it with my mac to upload pics/videos.  I now have an iPhone, and it is more convenient as they are meant to work with each other much better on terms of syncing calendars, itunes, photos etc.  That stated, I see no issues going with an android, just less convenience and lack of intergration with the mac.

  • How to properly eject samsung android phone from mac

    Any pros?
    My mac doesn't even recognize the samsung android phone.
    I can't use Android File Transfer, it says device not found.
    Don't see "unmount" or "mount" in the phone's notification bar.
    Android forum *****.
    Any help?

    Hi n,
    If it's not mounted, there should be no need to unmount it. Open Disk Utility and see if it's recognized there, and/or System Profiler.
    Also, you're showing 10.6.4. You might want to run Software Update to get up to 10.6.8.

  • How to recognize LG Android Phone on Mac 10.6.8

    Hello,
    First time forum user here. I'm attempting to resolve an issue with accessing my cellphone without having to hard reset and lose the data contained therein. I do not have access to my phone because the service is not connected, and my gmail account info and pattern lock (the two available unlock methods) appear to be invalid. I believe internet and/or cellular service is required.
    I have connected my phone to my MBP, which recognizes the device under System Profiler > USB > USB Hub as an LGE Android Device. My phone is also displaying the 'usb connected' icon so this rules out any connectivity issue.
    However, upon connecting the device and using the AndroidFileTransfer App provided to Mac users it does not recognize my phone.
    The OS Version I believe is 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
    The Device is an LG Optimus 2x.
    What I'm trying to accomplish is retrieving audio files and hopefully contact info, too. I'm posting here because I can't do anything from the phone side of the situation.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    I'm updating this today to say that I found a solution. After impatience got the better of me, I accepted the fact I would just have to reset my phone. Without access to my phone, knowing that debugging and USB mass storage wasn't selected, there would have been virtually no way to retrieve the data.
    Interestingly enough though, when I did a hard factory reset, the content (Photos & Audio Files) were not deleted!!
    SO I found a solution inadvertently!!
    Thank you to also, for the Sync'ing tips! I've bookmarked them!!
    Cheers

  • New Computer -Sync Questions

    I recently lost my old computer to a virus that corrupted the hard drive. In the loss my songs and videos stored there were lost. I already had them on the phone though.
    Now I have a new computer and I would like to get the stuff (music/Movies) off of my phone and onto my computer to use with this iTunes. Is there anyway to do that??

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer ( files/docs/pics/music/etc.)
    Use your backup copy to put everything back on the new computer.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The music/vid sync is one way - computer to iphone. the only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    Also, if you sync contacts/calendars to a blank computer, it will erase your iphone contacts/calendars.
    If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup, then you can enter one uniques contact/calendar entry on your new computer. You should then get the option to merger the data when your first sync.

    connect your iPhone to your computer with a usb cable
    open iTunes
    go to Storage
    find the "Restore" button
    click on it.
    your data will be restored.

  • When trying to sync i phone w mac book sync hangs on calendar

    When I try to sync my I phone 4 s with my Macbbok pre the sync process hangs up when trying to complete step 3, i.e. the calendar. I recently upgraded to Mounain Lion. Help would be appreciated

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • Trying to sync my android phone. It says "sync is set up but not syncing automatically. Toggle 'auto-sync data" in Android settings data usage."

    I cannot find any "auto-sync data" setting on my phone.

    Hi bjc0829,
    Very strange! Here's a different way to get to the auto-sync setting. Could you try it and let us know whether it works for you?
    # In Firefox, press the menu button at the top-right
    # Press Settings
    # Press Sync (should be the very first option)
    # The auto-sync checkbox should be at the top of the on the next window
    Cheers

  • How do i transfer data from my usb to android phone on mac book pro

    Hi,
    I cannot transfer data from my usb to my samsung galaxy note on mac book pro.Please help me solve this issue.
    Thanks

    What are you trying to transfer? What does the manual say for the Samsung to get whatever data it is that you want to transfer from one device to the other? This may be something you want to ask in a Samsung forum, since you are trying to manipulate a Samsung phone.

  • Both my pc and android phone are synced to Firefox, but the devices are not syncing with each other

    Each device (pc + android phone) is logged into Sync, but there is no sync sharing happening
    <sub>edit: removed personal information for your protection. (philipp)</sub>

    HI msknack,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that both of the devices are not syncing to match. Can you please check the following:
    *Are they on the same version of sync? (Android account should not list Firefox Sync (deprecated))
    *Are the managed items checked to be synced in the sync options?
    Posting back could help out other users as well.

  • Sync Calander to android phone

    How can I sync to an android phone with Mac book marvericks

    It's a bit difficult to offer specific help since you've neglected to mention which new phone you have, or which old phone you have.
    Contacts coming from the phone will end up in the 'All' group in Address Book, rather than the designated group for syncing. This is a long-standing issue with iSync which Apple seems to not want to fix.
    Presumably all the Contact you want on your new phone are in the Mac Address Book? If so, just create a group in Address Book with the contacts you want on the phone in, then (assuming your new phone is iSync compatible), set up iSync to sync just this group.
    You can set-up iSync to sync different Address Book groups to different phones easily. Just click on the phones icon in iSync and choose the group to sync from the pop-up menu.
