How do I connect my lucid to my computer?

I would like to connect my computer to my lucid phone.  When I try it looks for a driver or other devices to connect.  What do I need?

I just got a Lucid yesterday, and I've been having the same problem. From everything I can find online, it looks like it's supposed to be a very easy process; simply plug in the USB cable and go.
What ends up happening is this, which sounds fairly similar to samrmusso's problem - I'll plug in the phone, at which point it will open an AutoPlay dialogue that offers to either run the TL_Bootstrap.exe program or open up the folder, which contains primarily system files. This is invariable. Shortly after, the dialogue will close and the removable drive will disappear. I have tried this with a blank SD card in and with the slot empty. Essentially, I'm trying to get it so that I can access and make changes to the SD card and the internal memory if necessary. But regardless of whether or not I run the TL_Bootstrap program or not, I can never get beyond that stage before the computer and phone disconnect, and the same dialogue window opens every time.
At the same time, my mom got her own Lucid. For some reason, hers will connect to my computer, at which point it will open and close the same dialogue window, but then open a drive in F: that seems to be the phone's internal memory that can have music added to it through the Backup Assistant Plus. We've tried using both cables with both phones interchangeably, but hers will always reach the internal memory stage and mine won't. Furthermore, both phones seem to work in my dad's laptop, although neither display the two removable drives that the manual indicates that they should.
As such, it's unclear to me whether the problem is with the phone or the computer, given that each works in different circumstances. Over the course of this evening, I have tried every suggestion I could find online, from making sure that USB debug mode was off to updating the drivers to a full hard reset, and nothing is making it work, much less display precisely what the manual describes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the AutoPlay program (the TL_Bootleg.exe file) several times without success, and I'm finally stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I connect to more than one computer from external ip

    Hi
    I have been using remote desktop for some time and have a port forward set so I can connect to our mail server from anywhere else externally from my macbook pro, but how can I connect to other macs in the office when there only seems to be the two ports available for use 5900 and 3283. I can only port forward to one computer? How can I connect to multiple computers when not within the same network? are there other ports available?
    Cheers
    Tony

    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address.  ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe,  need to install third-party VNC software on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while other VNC systems can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then  forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC715.html  to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I connect my ipad to my computer...what is an airport utility?

    How do I connect my ipad to my wifi?  It says I need an airport utility can't find it

    You do not need the airport utility. That is to configure an apple router. But if it is configured you just join to its wireless.
    The easiest way to connect the ipad to the computer is to plug it in via the USB cord.
    (That is assuming you have a Mac I guess).
    To access files on a computer you need to download a file browser.. eg filebrowser.
    To access things like itunes you should be able to do more directly.
    What wifi router do you have?
    Much easier with apple equipment to join with Apple wireless routers..
    See how to connect ipad to wireless.

    Explain further if you have issues where the exact step that you are failing to connect.

  • How do I connect to server (my other computer)?

    I did this years ago but I don't remember the address I used.  CMD/K opens the dialog box.  My computer I want to connect is behind a modem and a router.  What do I type in the for address?  There is more than one computer on my home network.  All hard drives have unique names.  I have a DNS Alias IP address.
    I want to do this with my computer when I am away from home.  Like I said, I did it years ago but I don't remember the address I need to use.  I've searched and everything I find doesn't sem to be what I'm looking for.  The away computer is running 10.6 and the home computer is running 10.5.

    Camelot is correct.  You are asking for site-specific info.
    I'm going to assume you're connecting remotely into your own network, and make some guesses, and hopefully help you recall how your network was set up.
    What you enter depends on what access you've opened up into your network.
    You can certainly try all the protocols you've listed.  ftp, http, and the rest.  (Well, not ftp.  Avoid ftp.  ftp is a pile of gnarly problems, and one of the best ways to make sure that anybody monitoring your network connections from the coffee shop will know your login credentials.   On a good day — one where your password and user aren't compromised — you'll still have to battle with getting the emphemeral port range working and open on either the client end or the server end, and through all of the intervening firewalls.   As should be obvious, I'm not a particular fan of ftp.  Given a choice, I'd use sftp, or maybe ftp via a VPN.)
    If your NAT device is correctly configured and at (more or less) its default settings, then absolutely everything you try for your remote access will be blocked. 
    Everything should be blocked, too, as you really don't want more than absolutely necessary open, as there are more than a few folks that would look to access your server.   The folks attempting remote access will generally find and try any open port, too.  Even an open port associated with a relatively secure protocol can still have vulnerabilities, whether it's a protocol weakness that somebody discovers, or a weak password.
    Now if you want to enable remote access of file services or such, then your NAT box will need to have TCP port 548 (AFP) configured and opened through, or whatever ports for whatever other service you want. 
    Beyond being insecure, ftp is a pain in the rump to open, as you either need a device that sniffs the traffic and opens the ports necessary, or that triggers on a connection, or you'll need to have the whole of the ephemeral port range open.
    More appropriate for various remote-access contexts would be a VPN, either established via what's known as NAT pass-through (mapping the VPN ports through your NAT box to your OS X Server, and configuring the VPN server on your OS X Server box), or via VPN established directly into whatever gateway box you're using, if your gateway is mid-grade or more expensive box and has an integrated VPN server.   Not all of the NAT boxes have VPN support.
    If you're in the Finder Connect To Server prompting:
    If AFP (TCP port 548) is already open, then afp://youraddress
    If CIFS/SMB (TCP port 445) is open, then smb://youraddress
    But only somebody that's scanned your network or set up your network will know your configuration and which ports to use, both because of the NAT settings as well as any firewall you might be running on the server — OS X Server 10.6 could and variously did have the firewall service configured and running.
    If you want to see what ports are already open, there are various remote services that offer that test.  For instance, log into the server and use your web browser there to connect to GRC and run their Shields Up test; you'll need to run that port scan from within your network.   That'll tell you which ports are open through into your system.

  • How can I connect my iphone to my computer with the new upgrades? My mac (old) cannot support the new itunes and my phone can't connect to it.

    I have a macbook that I purchased in 2007 with operating system Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I recently did the new software upgrade on my iPhone and now my iPhone and my computer cannot connect. I tried downloading the newest iTunes but it is not supported by my software. What can I do now? (Other than buy a new computer).

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.
