How could I sync an Android device with a Mac mini?

There does not seem to be any obvious way to sync contacts, or, indeed, much of anything. 'Accounts & Sync', in 'Settings' on the device doesn't acknolwdge that the Mac exists by direct USB connection, Bluetooth, or 802.11 wireless. The device doesn't show in the Finder when connected by USB or 802.11 wireless. (It does _charge_ when connected by USB, and it does show a network connection via 802.11 and its IP shows up on the network, it just won't connect to sync anything.) It's a T-Mobile device; T-Mobile doesn't seem to have any tools to make the connection, or at least I can't find any, and there aren't any apps in the App Store which seem able to do this, or again I can't find any. It's trivial to connect an iOS device; surely _someone_ has a way to connect an Android. Surely?

  • How can I sync 2 Android devices if I do not have a computer to create a sync profile from?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 4.0.4 & a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 and no desktop or laptop computer to create a sync profile on. How can I sync my Firefox browsers between these devices?

    There isn't an official way to do this.
    Here's a hack which could work but I've never tried it and it's difficult to do:
    #Borrow a desktop or laptop with Firefox
    #Create a new [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|profile]]
    #[[How do I set up Firefox Sync?|Set up a sync account]]
    #Write down your username, password and '''recovery key''' <- super important. See, [[How do I manage my Firefox Sync account?#w_where-can-i-find-my-recovery-key|Where can I find my Recovery Key?]]
    #Delete that profile you just created on the borrowed computer.
    #On one of your Android devices, set up sync and tap the "Advanced Setup" link
    #Enter your username, password and recovery key
    #Repeat the last two steps on the other Android device.

  • How do I sync calendars on iPhone with my Mac

    I'm trying to sync my calendar info from my iPhone 5 (OS 7.0.4) with my Mac (OS 10.9) Calendar application (7.0).
    I was syncing through iTunes, but I'm told I now need to use iCloud. How is this done? All of my up-to-date info is on my iPhone, so I want to make sure that stays as is.
    Thanks

    Name,
    I find iCloud convenient and reliable for Calendar syncing. Since you appear to have the required equipment and software, I recommend that you consider using it.
    If security of your data is a concern read:
    1. iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview.
    2. How secure is iCloud? | Macworld.
    Setting up iCloud is best described by reading:
    1. iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices.

  • How can I create a live video with my mac mini?

    I have a new mac mini and a logitech webcam, ilife 2011, even a professional external mike, if necessary.  How can I create a live video to upload to YouTube and the like?

    If you're talking about LIVE video (as in, people can see what you're doing RIGHT NOW), you can't host that on Youtube (yet), although there are applications (not part of iLife, though) to let you stream to a personal website. If you just want to record yourself, then upload it, sure, you can do so using iMovie 11.
    This page explains iMovie's iSight import feature - provided your webcam is supported, the same should work for you.

  • How do I sync my iPhone contacts with the Mac address book

    I just bought a Macbook Pro and want to sync my iPhone contacts.  How do I do this?

    Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

  • How can I sync my android phone calendar with my iPad

    How can I sync my android phone with my iPad ?

    To move Contacts, calendar data, etc. information from Android to iOS you can use third party Apps on both devices the Apps will move this information to the "Cloud" with one App and back to your other device with another App.
    See, for example, PhoneCopy at http://www.phonecopy.com/en/

  • Is it better to update the ipad with a mac mini vs a windows PC?

    I have an iPad 2 which i want to update to iOS 6.1.3 (from 4.3.3). I usually sync it with a mac mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 with iTunes 10 which will not allow me to update the iPad as iTunes 11 requires OS X 10.6.8. I am not in a position to update my mac mini.
    1) Can I use a PC running windows 7 with latest iTunes to update my iPad without any problems ?
    2) Will I be able to sync my updated iPad with my mac mini running iTunes 10 on OS X 10.6.4 ?
    Thanks for your inputs.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

    We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

    According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.
