IMac G5 & mobile phone

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes. I'm about to buy a new mobile 'phone after losing one months ago. My only requirement is that it plays real tones/MP3 tones. It didn't even occur to me that some or all phones wouldn't be Mac compatible (how naive).
Anyway, I've pretty much decided on a Sony Ericsson Z530i, so does anyone know if this is going to work with my Mac? From my limited research it seems I can probably use iSync to transfer contacts etc, but what (if anything) can I use to get music files onto the 'phone?
Here's hoping someone has some suggestions.

By choosing a Sony Ericsson phone you're getting probably the best brand of phone to work with the Mac.
The Z530 will sync up just fine. And you can transfer files to and from the phone via Bluetooth or USB cable.
If plugged in via USB the phones internal memory and memory stick storage will appear on the desktop as drives to which you can drag and drop MP3s, M4A (iTunes) etc.
You can see a list of iSync supported Sony Ericsson phones on my site here - this list also includes phones supported by my iSync PhonePlugins too.

  • New iMac and Bluetooth connection to mobile phone

    Hi,
    I have a brand new iMac 21.5", 3.33 GHz here and I use a Motorola KRZR K1 mobile phone and the emitSMS widget, to send SMS messages.
    But this widget can't detect the Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone.
    I delete the bluetooth preferences, but this does't help.
    On my MacBook with MacOS X 10.6.2 is no problem.
    Anybody an idea, what's the problem?

    Hi again,
    Can it be, that's a problem with the last Airport Client Update?
    On my MacBook is this update not installed and there is no problem.

  • Pairing mobil phone with iMac

    I would like to send some photos from my Samsung mobil phone to my new iMac using Bluetooth. I can get the devices to pair with no problem but the "Connected" button goes red (not connected) and I can't find a way to change it to green. When I go to the photo screen in the phone and try to send a photo the phone does not recognize the computer at all. I've connected the computer to the phone and then the phone to the computer. Bluetooth sharing in preferences is on. No help. Any ideas?

    The connected light only goes green when there is some actual Bluetooth activity going on between the two devices. When they are just paired it will be red. It will turn to green automatically when the phone and computer are actually communicating.
    I don't know about your Samsung specifically, but usually when you send a photo by Bluetooth the phone will search for Bluetooth devices and give you a list of ones it finds, then you choose the one you want to send to.
    Also, another possibility is to try browsing the device from the Mac via the Bluetooth menu, and pull the photos across that way.

  • I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

    I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook).  I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line.  Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!! 

    Hi,
    As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
    In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
    The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
    This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
    (it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
    Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
    AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
    The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

  • Connect Bluetooth with Samsung mobile phone headset?

    I'm making a movie in Garageband and using the iMac internal speaker for recording my voice. I have a Samsung Bluetooth device I use with my mobile phone and I thought the sound would be better. I can't seem to get it to connect with my Mac. I have bluetooth sharing on, but when I go to the bluetooth set-up window, it doesn't recognize it. Am I doing something wrong, or is it incompatible?
    Thanks for any help, I'm trying to avoid buying a new mic.

    Have you tried pairing using the Bluetooth icon in the system tray?
    Also make sure your Bluetooth drivers are up to date: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/be/nl/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g...

  • Plugins for videos to be sent to mobile phones

    can anybody help me with this??
    I need to know how I can make a video on FCP and send it to mobile phones?? What specifications should I have in order to be able to send it to mobile phones and view it clearly??
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Edit the video in FCP, then export it to compressor 2. There are 6 different presets you can choose from there in a submenu named "Mobile Devices". You'll need to know which one (or all of them) that the system you need to deliver to uses...

  • Ichat from a mac to a mobile phone or iPad

    Hi,
    Just recently got a MacBook Pro and only just started using all the features..
    I was wondering how to add a mobile phone number?
    And an ipad contact??

    Hi,
    The Question has ended up being Posted in the iChat Community.
    There is little (none in fact) info as to it actually being about iChat.
    However.
    iChat will make SMS connections to phone numbers if several factors come together.
    1) The Mac needs to be set up as if it is in the Untied States.
    This allows the SMS items in the iChat Menus.
    2) Add a Buddy to the AIM Buddy list (i.e any screen name that logs in to AIM).
    It should be in the format of +1 followed by the phone number (as in +19876543210)
    3) the "receiving" phone needs to be on a US carrier that also supports the SMS forwarding by AIM
    The Phone Number as Buddy can be added to the Buddy list as if it were the Screen Name.
    IF adding it to the Address Book it has to be added there as an IM Name.
    A later Address Book in Edit mode
    An iPad contact could have been added to the Message Beta which does iMessages as well iChat style chats.
    iMessages can be sent to phone Number or Apple IDs on those devices that support either.
    (Messages beta was pulled from the Download pages at the beginning of this week  (About the 11th) )
    However if you are talking about Messages beta the phone Number is added to the Address Book in it's usual place and Messages can see that for iMessages.

  • Syncing mobile phones on C510i

    Hi there, the phone that my employer gave me has the option to save varios mobile phone types to each one of your contacts, such as "mobile", "work mobile", "personal mobile".  Although they get syncronized with my iMac's address book they don't show the appropriate tag in Address Book, only the "mobile" the other two show "other" in Address Book, does anybody know what to do to appropriately tag each one?
    The phone is a Sony Ericsson C510i.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jorge...

    I have tried everything.  I can sync one of 2 accounts, irregardless of how many time I uninstall, etc....
    I also got a "date source/date folder can no longer be foudn"-- Something along the lines of that, I don't have the exact error message.
    any help would be great.

  • MP4 files from mobile phones

    Hi -
    I just copied some MP4 videos from my mobile phone on to my iMac using a USB adapter to take the videos from a Micro SD card. However I can't get them to play properly. They will open in Quicktime and VLC but there's no sound. Does anyone know why this is or how I can fix it? They work fine on my mobile phone, I can hear sound so I know it's in there somewhere. Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    How do I get info while it's playing in QT?
    Open the "Inspector" window and check the information on the "Format:" line. This should refer to the audio and video compression formats used in the file.

  • Came to the site scams that under the guise update to Safari asked to enter the mobile phone.

    Came to the site scams that under the guise update to Safari asked to enter the mobile phone. Enter there not your phone number, asks to enter some code. From these boxes can be removed only by unloading of the ambiguity of the Safari and then quickly close the tab. But how to make these Windows do not appear at all? This same problem is observed on my iMac.

    Try Settings > Safari > Clear History and Clear Cookies And Data and then close Safari via the iPad's taskbar and do a soft-reset
    To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    When you re-open Safari it should be just a blank tab

  • Address Book Sync, w/Mobile Phone

    I recently bought the new generation iMac 20" and paired my Motorola E398 via bluetooth with my mac. Ive succesfully synced the phones phonebook with Address Book on the iMac, all my contacts where put into Address Book but unfortunatly the mac has deleted the contacts from my phonebook on my mobile phone (almost like a cut & paste job).
    Does anyone know of a way to upload my mobile contacts on my mac back to my mobile phone, thanks.

    This facility is usually dependent on your network
    I am in uk on Vodafone and it doesnt work here
    I use a small program called BluePhoneElite with the v3 and it handles sms and the calls very well
    They pop up on the powerbook screen and also the sms save to the powerbook
    thats the address you can get a free trial
    I paid the small amount and have been very happy with it
    Now I wish there was a program to handle landline calls
    I am just a happy customer nothing to do with the company before anyone asks!

  • Sync with Samsung mobile phones

    Hi. My account name is Lambo.
    I have iMac. But too I have Samsung X700 mobile phone. This summer I will bought Samsung i750. But I have one problem. I cannot connect my phone with my Mac. I respect all Apple Inc. I know that you are very happy because you will have your iPhone. But you must to undersantd that we have not iPhone and we want to connect our phones with Mac. Please help me. If somebody have some ideas write me please.

    Most Samsung phones are not compatible with iSync, not because of Apple, but because Samsung have not bothered to implement the industry standard SyncML protocol in most of their phones.
    Currently there are two Samsung phones which are compatible with iSync natively, plus a few more via plugins.
    Before buying a phone you should always check out Apple iSync Supported Devices page, or a third-party plugin provider such as Feisar or Novamedia, if syncing is important to you.
