File transfer between IMAC and Motorola RAZR V3c

I recently replaced my defective Verizon RAZR phone with a new RAZR v3c. Previously, I was able to exchange music, video and pic files readily by dragging and dropping via bluetooth. The new phone pairs up w/ bluetooth but an error message appears stating the device "does not have the necessary services". Is there a way to transfer these files even w/o bluetooth if necessary? I've been reading for hours and haven't found a solution. Please HELP!! Thanks

Bad news... Verizon disabled that "feature" of your phone. I guess they did it to try to force subscribers to buy more ringtones and use more data transfers. It might depend on the exact firmware version. There's some info on it here:
http://blog.wired.com/music/2006/07/verizonrazrca.html
And a (somewhat daunting) wiki tutorial on how to replace the Verizon $oftware with the original phone software from Alltel:

Oh wait, just found this... apparently you can take it to a Verizon store and have them update the firmware:

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

File transfer between macbook and other macs

I need to do a file transfer between my macbook and a macbook pro and my macbook and an ibook. What ways can you recommend? FTP is slow for me because it's a campus network, and bluetooth takes a while too (in the ranges of 1 to 2 hours). I believe it can be done through firewire and/or USB right?
If I were to use USb, is there any special software needed? Or will each mac detect each other as a hard drive or?
What about firewire? I understand it needs to have a hub or a server? Is that true? Can file transfers be done just via a firewire alone?
Thanks!

If you want to access your friend's files, he should enable File Sharing on his machine and you should choose Finder > Go > Connect to Server... His machine should show up in the Connect to Server dialog box. This should work with ethernet; AFAIK USB will not work.
From Mac Help:
"You can use an Ethernet cable to connect two Macintosh computers and share files or play network games.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of one computer to the Ethernet port on the other.
2. Open Sharing preferences on both computers and turn on Personal File Sharing. Note the Computer Name for the computers.
3. On one of the computers, choose Go > Connect To Server and then click Browse.
4. Double-click the other computer in the window and enter your password, if necessary.
If you manually configured the TCP/IP settings for the built-in Ethernet configuration on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to enter that computer's TCP/IP address in the Connect To Server dialog.
To see or set the TCP/IP address, open Network preferences and choose your Ethernet port configuration from the Show pop-up menu (named Built-in Ethernet unless you gave it another name)."

File transfer between mac and windows 7

Is it possible to transfer files between my Mac and a windows 7 machine via bluetooth?
MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.4
Thanks

It will be slow, but there's no reason it shouldn't work as long as the Bluetooth hardware on both computers has the File Transfer Profile (all Macs do), and *Bluetooth Sharing* is checked in the Sharing system preferences pane on the Mac.
If the computers are close enough to send files via Bluetooth, you'd be much better off just networking them together. You can then "mount" the PC hard disk on the Mac like any other disk and move files around easily. It will be hundreds of times faster too.

File transfer between Mac and Windows

I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
i hope that helps.
p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

File transfer between iMac G3 and iMac with iSight

I recently ordered the new 20" iMac w/iSight to replace my geriatric iMac G3 333Mhz, and I wanted to know how to network the two so I can transfer files to the new machine. The iMac G3 is running OS 9.2.2, and is already networked to a Win98SE PC for DSL purposes (I have a router). I have zero experience with OSX (I'm way old school), so please be gentle.
While I'm at it, can anyone recommend any sites or books for an OSX newbie, that are good for an old hand Machead? I've been looking at the Apple stuff but it's not enough, and everything else I see is for M$ switchers and talks in Windoze terms which are useless to me...
TIA

kylenne, Welcome to the discussion area!
Connect your new iMac via Ethernet to your current network.
Then you can use the information in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.

Using file sharing between iMac and Macbook Air

I have been trying to use file sharing but do not have admin password or disc..When I try to access the iMac from my Air it give the option of using my Apple ID but no password field comes up...I press enter and get the Dialog Box wobble...

I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

Why have apple disabled file transfer between iphone and other devices?

I have recently purchased an iPhone and i was about to send a file from my iPhone to a friends android and i found that it wasnt possible. Does anyone know why apple have not allowed this feature on any of the iPhones?

I venture to say security is the primary reason.

ISync and Motorola RAZR

I have one of the original RAZR's and a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. I've been using Motorola Phone Tools on a PC and syncing with Outlook without issue. When I bought my Mac, I wanted to sync with it instead. Tried exporting contacts from Outlook and importing in Address Book. No dice. Created entries from scratch. I deleted all contacts off my phone and used iSync. Many entries not copied to phone, and MANY entries in Address Book lose their numbers and addresses. I re-sync with Phone Tools to get original contacts back on my phone, and then match up entries from Address Book and phone manually. Did this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0 <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0>
Then run iSync again, and I get duplicate entries on both the phone and in Address Book. For a company that wants people to switch from PC's to Macs, this doesn't work very well.

The Verizon Wireless-supplied Motorola RAZR V3c is explicitly supported only by the latest release of iSync—version 2.2—which is a part of the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update. Prior to this release it was not, but could be used with the addition of third-party plug-ins.
However, there are three significant limitations inherent in this handset:
1. Calendar synchronization is not supported. This is a Verizon issue and may be resolved in future firmware updates from Verizon.
2. Verizon has reverted to its long-standing practice of disabling the Bluetooth OBEX profile, so that files cannot be exchanged between your handset and your Macintosh. They do this to preserve their ongoing revenue stream from pay-to-transfer options like Get it Now. Initially, this handset inexplicably did not have the OBEX profile disabled, but that 'oversight' has been 'corrected' in subsequent releases.
3. The V3c is a V CAST device, and as such, cannot be used as a CDMA wireless modem to connect to the internet. Many Verizon-supplied mobile handsets and smartphones do include a DUN [Dial Up Networking] profile, but V CAST devices do not. I mention this because the lack of DUN support may be a 'deal breaker' for Verizon subscribers like you.

Motorola Razr V3c calendar sync with 10.4.6

With the release of 10.4.6 and iSync 2.2 their is support for syncing contacts on a Motorola Razr V3c but not iCal.
Here is a link to a fix to allow you at your own risk to enable iCal syncing, it worked for me, but it doesn't support all day events.
http://www.briantoth.com/razr_v3c/editmeta.php
Modifications to your iSync application are done at your own risk. Back up iSync before messing with it. one note where he says change to yes it should be change false to true.
iMac G5 20" 2 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Verizon Razr V3c

This worked for me–one thing that should be noted is that Brian notes to change the "supportsCalendarsSync" to "yes"–whereas it should be changed from "false/" to "true/".

Transfer between iPod and iTunes - mission impossible !

I recently got iPod Touch (latest model with latest iOS) - just to use it in my car. I simply wanted to add and remove few songs. In a normal world, there would be just 2 columns (ipod/computer and simple managing both parts within files and folders management - let us be sincere, can anything be more natural and straightforward ? Sure not). But Apple wants it to make super complicated and highly frustrating. OK, what to do,
Since I already have a different computer (newer version of MBP Retina, with the latest OSX) , I needed to get the iPod content to the iTunes on the new computer somehow. This is impossible as such - since iTunes keep telling that if I want to associate this iPod with this iTunes library , I have to erase the iPod (this is something I really don't want). I try "full backup" - as offered by iTunes ... I do it few times, the process starts, but always lasts quite short (considering 1700 songs with 24 GB on my iPod). The result is - nothing is backuped to this computer ... very nice ...
In further search, I discover some third party apps, that supposedly could help with this terrible process. I bought AnyTrans and started transferring the content to iTunes. in 9 hours, it was just 4 GB transferred ... (overnight) ... obviously not the way ... On another advice , I bought iExplorer, it should be supposedly better. I tried to transfer the iPod content to iTunes ("start automatic transfer). I tried it 5 times. As a result, the app always froze and for quit was the only solution. NIce. Then I got an advice that it is good not to transfer to iTunes but just to some folder on a computer. That finally worked. Good
Then I added all these songs to iTunes Library (finally some first result after many hours of effort). Then I agreed that this iPod can be associated with this iTunes Library (that already contained those 1700 songs) and let it synced with this iPod. After some time the iPod was indeed erased. No music in it any more. As much as I tried again and again to sync it with iTunes Library, the process went in three short steps and finished. The result - no music on iPod, whatever I do ... Full music Library in iTunes on MBP
What shall I say and still keep my expressions decent ? (difficult) This iTunes and this system of working with files on iPod or iPhones is for me the most stupid invention ever. How could someone ever create such a terrible nonsense that make simple things impossible and highly frustrating ? Instead of simple file transfer between devices ... I have no words for that ... It is also possible that it is me who is stupid, in that case, please let me know how can I transfer songs from iPod to iTunes and how can I how some songs on iPod (that are already in iTunes Library). Not to waste computer space by having iPod library copied there, is another thing, but let us not go to details now

Yes, all played in iTunes in the computer, right boxes checked (see the printscreens) ... In the end , I restored to restarting iPod and MBP. After that it started working (synchronisation). But only up to some extent. In iTunes Library I have about 1700 tracks, but only 660 were transferred to iPod. Now I made: "add to library" - adding to library all the song I already have in Library: and the iTunes started working hard to add the rest in the Library (but they were already there ...)
So finally I spend nice whole day to add/remove songs in my iPod ...
Another thing is - when in iTunes Library I want to add/change genre to some songs, the process takes so long, it is like each song is freshly copied just to add the tag "classical" etc to each ... I thought I have the "fastest Mac ever" ... Waiting so long for such trivial process is unbelievable ... (with rainbow circle making a nice decoration now and then)

[SOLVED]Simple file transfer between different os'es

Hi
I'm searching for some kind of simple file transfer between different computers/os (mainly arch and windows) on local net, without I have to set up any samba/ftp server etc. It would be perfect if i could select a file I want to transfer and then be able to receive it on a different computer.
So far I've tried giver but I most of the times they can't find each other.
Any know how I could archive something like the a bow?
Thanks

Try using simple file sharing through http server 'oneliner's.
- Note your host IP (which I refer to by "ip.of.your.server"),
- Go under your directory where you want to share files and fire a command line :
Using python : python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
And you can access your files on the network using http://ip.of.your.server:8000/
Using php : php -S localhost:8080 -t webrootpath/
Files under webrootpath/ will be accessible from http://ip.of.your.server:8888/
Using mongoose : mongoose -r . -p 8888
Files will be accessible from http://ip.of.your.server:8888/
You may restrict access, ie.: -l -0.0.0.0/0,+10.60.100.105
And have access/error logging (à la apache) too : -a access_log.txt -e error_log.txt
NB.: You may install python or php under windows but mongoose is the easiest thing when it comes to windows -> linux.
