Help wit "syncing?" cell phone

I'm not even sure this is under the right topic:
I have a Motorola Razr V3x and I want to copy music from my Mac to my Razr.
I think I need Mac OS X 10.4 and USB 2.0, but I don't really know.
I had a Moto Razr V3 and I was able to iSync it with my Mac, but I didn't work out how to copy anything else on to it.
Please help me figure this out, I'm not really talented concernig technology.

Ansuz82,
Of course even if the cell phone is one of the ones support by iSync, the carrier may have disabled some of the functionality. Sometimes it is easy to enable again. For example this article for some Palm Treo models:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302064
Then on some Motorola models its not possible to enable syncing with iSync:

And its not just that carrier, here is the same issue with a different carrier:

Hope this helps,

  • HT1296 Need help with sync from phone to computer

    When I sync my phone to my laptop, I would like info I entered on the calendar on my phone to be added to the calendar on my computer.  I can only get it to sync from computer to phone.  I need to update both
    any ideas.  I have searched the help files and can't find this anywhere

    My problem is similar. I just upgraded from the 4S to the 5 and I used to be able to sync the calendar on my iMac and iPhone using iCloud without getting duplicates by selecting/deselecting the appropriate calendars on the respective devices. Everything synced as I entered it. 
    I'm pretty sure it was working with the 5 until recently...
    Today I noticed that an event I entered on the 5 for last week didn't show up on my iMac. When I checked the EDIT screen on the phone to see what calendars were checked, only the calendar for that event was (on the All on my iPhone).  All but the Unfiled calendar are checked on the All on my iCloud.  When I unchecked and rechecked the calendars under the Phone didn't help. Can't get the thing to sync...
    Seems like most people are having problems with Exchange accts, but here I am with my iMac/Phone/Cloud...

  • Sync cell phone address book to a separate address book

    I use 2 cell phones for different purposes. One is just for work.
    Is there any way to split up the address book (in my mac) so that when I sync my work cell phone, it saves it to its own separate address book? Instead of merging all my addresses from 2 different phones and the mac

    You can easily create two Groups in Address Book - one for each phone - with different Contacts in, and then choose the relevant Group to sync TO the phone in Address Book.
    The problem is that iSync still doesn't put new Contacts created on a phone into the designated Group in Address Book when syncing back FROM the phone. All new Contacts created on the phone will go into the All group and you will manually have to organise them into the required Groups in Address Book.
    The only other way to do this is have separate user accounts on your Mac, one for Home and one for Work which would have separate Address Book databases, then sync the relevant phone from within the relevant user account.

  • Sync cell phone

    So I've synched my cell pone with iSync there was no problem doing this; however, I can't find the synched information on my computer. Where is it located? I looked in my Address Book and it happens to be the same old contacts and not any additional contacts which were located on my cell phone.

    It is located in the Address Book. I did not see the contacts because they did not come over. I had to save my contacts to my phone because you cannot sync from the SIM card. Duh!!

  • Help with syncing my phone after taking it off auto-sync

    I turned off my automatic sync on my iPhone 5 (the option in the Summary that says "Allow this device to automatically sync when plugged in" or something like that) and now when I plug it into my Macbook Pro, it doesn't appear anywhere on my iTunes. I even checked on File > Devices and the menu options to sync it isn't clickable. Help!

    Yes. Problem is, I don't believe there's any way to get the existing contacts into Google contacts.
    If you set up the phone to sync your contacts to Google, you'll notice when you look at groups in your contact list on the phone (assuming it worked) that you have separate groups for contacts from your computer and contacts from Google. You can't move contacts from one list to another on the phone.
    In iTunes you'll see there are options for what application you want to sync your contacts with.  If you have a Windows machine, you can sync to Outlook or Windows address book.  You may be able to extract the contact list on the phone by turning this on in iTunes.
    WARNING: If you're going to do this, make sure you have at least 1 contact in the program you're going to sync to. If you do, it will ask you if you want to merge them. If not, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.

  • I need help choosing a cell phone

    Ok. Currently I have an HTC Eris and it has all sorts of bad issues. I have talked with Verizon on the phone, chat, in person for the last several days. They said that I can get a pre-certified phone to replace my Eris and I had been going back and forth over the Blackberry Tour and Bold. Mind you that they don't have a pre certified bold, but are expecting me to come in and get the tour in two weeks when I get paid.
    Here is the problem... I do love having the android market, but the only phone that I would even think of getting would be the Droid 2 as I love the way that the keyboard feels. I have priced just adding another line to my account so that I don't have to pay out the full price (539.99) and it would be 99.99 through wirefly, which would be great. I have found that wirefly has the blackberry curve 9330 for free and that is a new released phone. I had a blackberry years ago and loved the phone itself. The thing is too when I looked at the pre certified list this morning they had the moto droid available (I had this phone when I first started my contract and hated the keyboard and the touch keyboard.)
    How do I choose what would be best for me?
    1) I don't text that often, but I won't buy an all touch phone ever again. The texting on the touch screens drive me crazy and it takes forever to type something out because you have to go back and fix your words.
    2) I check Facebook, and browse the internet at random times. I do love being somewhere and having the internet handy to look something up.
    3) I do like the android apps, but blackberry has them to download too from their market and I don't remember them having issues of force closing like the androids do.
    I mean do I even need a smart phone? I am currently typing this on my little HP laptop. I hadn't used my laptop for about three weeks until my Eris started acting up (god I hate this phone).
    The last question is would it be good to get the tour for 189.99 replacement and not have to add a fourth line, or add a fourth line and hope that I can exchange the eris line out for just a T9 phone for an extra 10 bucks a month?
    Thanks for any help you all can give me

    Yeah I was just reading a difference between the two here online when I got your message. After reading the differences between the blackberry and the android I still can't quite make up my mind, but I think I am getting closer to deciding.
    I like the fact that the Androids have bigger screens for you to look at the internet and media
    I like the bar style of the blackberry because you can reply quickly and know that with blackberry's system that things will push through quickly.
    Android does have a lot more apps, and it took me quite awhile to choose which apps worked best for me. Still there are those cursed Force closes that drive me crazy every day. And when my task killer stopped doing its job I switched to another. I like not having to worry about this on the blackberry.
    I like the fact that with the blackberry all you have to do is start typing and it will pull things up. I really wish that the Android phones did this. I like to get things done quickly. I don't like having to click three times or more to get to where I am going. I know I am being a bit picky here, but I like things simple. No I don't have a business or anything as I am disabled, so in a way having the blackberry probably is wasting the phone itself.
    All in all I wish that Verizon would be able to get ahold of T-mobiles Motorola Charm. That is the type of phone that I would love to have as it has the qwerty right there on the phone. I know that at some point and time that Android will get caught up within themselves to where everything runs great, but they honestly have to quit letting so many phones come out. With all the different platforms and styles I see the constant threads about what works on a Droid X won't work on a Nexus one and vice versa. They need to do what blackberry has and make phones that are compatible for all their apps.
    I have narrowed it down that I do love the apps and entertainment on the Android. I know that I need an android phone with a qwerty as I can't type on the all touch keyboards. I think this is why I am starting to really lean towards the Droid 2. I played with it while we were waiting at the store and I liked the way that the qwerty felt (much better and easier than the original Droid.) I love the LG Ally keyboard, but after looking at the reviews and hearing from my son that it crashes, I decided against that phone.
    If you all know of an Android phone that I will be really happy with, and even if it has issues stick with it please let me know. My partner loves her Devour and is on her fourth replacement. She loves the phone so much she will keep getting it replaced until our contract to upgrade comes up. I have tried the Devour as well and don't care for the phone. It's too bulky for me, but to each their own preference.
    Please let me know what you all think as I only have two weeks to make a final decision. It will be greatly appreciated.

  • Help i synced my phone from pc and my photo albums did not appear on my i phone 4s

    how do i fix this problem

    Ok -- problem solved but I don't know why.
    After iTunes gave me that error message, I noticed it showed my iPhone under devices so I clicked on sync. That gave me a new message on iTunes that said it couldn't read my SIM card and to go to the AT&T store to get a new one. Out of frustration I removed the phone from the dock and then put it back in the dock...this time I got a message on my phone that it had been updated and when I clicked the slider it wanted my passcode. And my phone service appears to be fine.
    But.. to avoid this scare next time...I assume I should leave the phone plugged into the computer until I get the "phone is updated" message ON the phone. Correct?

  • Can someone help me sync my phone to retrieve all photos etc which are on my mac. need to know hoe to 'delete last back up' - not sure what that means

    this comes up and i dont know what to do

    Hi jackhartland,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article contains the location of your backup files on a Mac:
    iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529
    1. Back up your backup
    Before troubleshooting a backup issue, make sure you've recently backed up a copy of your backup. iTunes places the backup files in these locations:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start > Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start, type %appdata% in the search bar, and press the Return key.
    Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, move the cursor to the upper-right corner, click the magnifying class, type %appdata%, and press the Return key.
    Cheers,

  • Address Book vCards via Bluetooth to Samsung a900 "Blade" cell phone

    I'm able to export Address Book contacts as vCards and then import them into one of the new Samsung a900 "Blade" Sprint phones using Bluetooth, but with a couple of vexing problems.
    1. I should clarify that I can import vCards into the new "Blade" cell phone from Address Book via Bluetooth, but only by dragging one card at a time, a very tedious process. Unfortunately, no data transfer occurs if I select multiple cards and drag them all at the same time. I'm using OS X (v10.4.2). Perhaps v10.4.4 and/or a more current AddressBook update will make a difference, or perhaps the problems are solely at the Samsung end...
    After activating the paired phone and then launching Apple's Bluetooth File Transfer Utility, I'm dragging the vCards onto the OS X dock icon...
    But before I do this, the "No Name" problem is forcing me to manually enter the Company Name into Address Book's last name field for every card that has no personal first/last name. Again, this is necessary just to get the Samsung a900's internal phone book to display something useful for these records (besides listing each record as "No name").
    2. When the phone software sees an entry with a Company Name only (but no First/Last Name entered), it goes brain dead and lists each entry as "No Name" instead of ignoring the empty Name fields and simply listing the Company Name. This is an age-old problem with dumb cell phone software (my previous Sanyo phone did this too). Unfortunately, Address Book exporting is useless without fixing this...Is there a way to get Address Book to format exported vCards to compensate for this shortcoming in the Phone interface?
    More info on this phone and Macs is posted on an a900-Mac thread in the Samsung discussion at www.sprintusers.com. The "Blade" is Samsung's new model that copies the look-and-feel of the popular Motorola RAZR, and it is a very nice, if not entirely original, design, and a very hot phone at Sprint right now. It does have a few bugs, but some already have been addressed with a firmware update from Samsung. It's only been out since late November or early December of 2005.
    I also cross-posted these questions in the Address Book and Mail forum...

    All metioned problems are Samsung's fault. Blame them.
    I've been assuming it was a Samsung problem, and have posted help requests in cell phone forums that Samsung engineers and/or support allegedly reads. I was hoping there might be some way to automate a workaround from the computer end...
    Now, if Address Book had an option to define the fields that are to be exported or perhaps automatically sub Company Names for last names the problem would be solved when exporting for cell phones. I can't belive no one has ever encountered this before -- it has been a problem with every cell phone I have ever owned.

  • Email to mobile cell phone addr- returned -WAP encoding error

    My email to a cell phone url is being returned by web master (I think) and says: WAP encoding error.
    I can't find anything about wap encoding error on Thunderbird support or on the Internet .
    Can somebody help me? Cell phone person uses Verizon for email and I use Vista Home. My email to this address always used to work properly. Would my settings be wrong or could something change them unbeknowns to me?
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Christl and Matt,
    Thanks for your help. My Mobile user checked her settings and all were okay. However, I checked my own settings and found when I set them to send email in "plain text" that my messages were sent and worked without any returned email!
    I had tried that UTF-8 and it worked for one time only as I recall. I think that setting would not remain and went back to Western encoding. Not sure of this tech stuff though!
    In any event my email is working just fine now and I do appreciate you guys helping me out. Seems to me that such an important problem should be included in Verizon's Help or highlighted somewhere for an easier find for any future same thunderbird problems. Surely thunderbird support should hilight it and paste it all over their help pages!
    Thanks again to all.
    Jimee.

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

  • How do I have 2 itunes accounts on my mac book-1 for me(which is already on) and one for my partner who's PC has crashed and need to uae my mac book to sync his phone. Help please anyone?

    I have a mac book which has my itunes account on it. My partner's PC has crashed and I want to get his itunes account on my mac book so that he can sync his phone. Can someone help me with how I do this please?
    Many thanks

    Thank you for the reply.
    ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
    ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
    When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
    I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.
