Searching for software/driver to link sprint katana & ibook g3

hello all,
just joined the forum. i confess to being a techno-klutz and am on a slow continuous learning curve...aarrgghh!! there is a tremendous wealth of knowledge here - if i just knew how to put it to use - and alot of knowledgeable and helpful folks here. please bear with my lack of technical
knowledge...
so here's my query:
just bought a sprint katana - not too sure if i'm liking it just yet - and am in need of the software/driver download for my ibook g3 power pc750. before i purchased the 'phone i called smith micro (the quicklink moblie people) and they assured me they DID support it for windows as well as mac. they said they would send it to my email address with payment info...well, the next day i opened their message and was stunned to see a message that refuted what i had been told in my initial contact.
so here i am with a 'phone i mostly like, but cannot find a way to establish a link to my ibook (which is not set up for bluetooth & required the pruchase of the motorola pc850 bt adapter)
been wandering around and around using "search" her and on the 'net and i am not having any luck.
i would appreciate hearing from someone else recently purchased the same phone & bluetooth device. i would like to learn how to get the 'phone, the bluetooth device & laptop to work together.
thank you,
kenneth

Unfortunately, no Sanyo phones are iSync compatible so you will not be able to synchronize your Contacts and Calendars with the phone.
Also, you may have problems with the Bluetooth adapter you purchased, as the only one officially supported by Apple for use with Macs is the D-Link DBT-120.
The Official Apple list of iSync compatible devices is here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
It's always a good idea to check this list before purchasing a new phone.
Other phones are supported by third party plugins from here and here. But still no Samsung, Sanyo, LG etc. who all use thier own proprietary syncing protocols rather than the industry standard SyncML. These manufacturers also don't provide Mac software with their phones like the do for Windows users.
I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck if you stick with the Sanyo. I would seriously consider taking it back and swapping it for one of the handsets on the above linked pages. Personally I would recommend a Sony Ericsson model. I've always had excellent Mac compatibility with those.

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

  • Search for a driver: Ricoh Multi Card Reader for Windows 8 - for my T61 (6463) -

    Hi!
    I`m searching for a Windows 8-Driver for my T61 (6463).
    I have a Ricoh Multi Card Reader inside and I can`t find a driver for this one.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you,
    Heiko
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    Try downloading the following driver:
    Name:  Ricoh Multi Card Reader Driver for Windows Vista, XP
    Version:  3.54.02
    Date:  06 Mar 2008
    URL:  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-68053
    The drivers will extract to a directory named "C:\DRIVERS\WIN\4IN1\", if I recall correctly.  Once extracted, run Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), go to the entry where the unrecognized card reader is located, and perform an update, using the "Have Disk" option and pointing it to the directory in which the drivers were extracted.
    I do not recall if a reboot is required, but in any case I would recommend doing one, at which point you should then be able to see the card reader from Windows 8.

  • My intel iMac keeps searching for a drive that doesn't exist.

    My intel iMac opens a window saying it cannot find a drive with the IP address of 10.0.1.196 which, ot the best of my knowledge doesn't exist. The address is always the same, even after reprovisioning our entire system from modem to all the computers we have. The window will come up after a restart but before I have our server selected, but it will also pop up at almost any time. When it does, after clicking OK, it will reappear every few seconds for 5-10 times then stop. Very aggrevating because the window puts whatever I am doing in the background and I must click the OK and close the window before proceding with my work. Any way to stop this?

    I am not sure that I got the wireless instructions correct. I opened the window to connect to a wireless network and instead of typing in a name I just typed in a dash. This caused my Airport icon to be grayed out. I then rejoined our office network by turning off and then restarting Airport.
    For the ethernet connection, I did as instructed and then tested by turning off the Airport on the computer so I was only connected using ethernet.
    Neither of these worked and the computer still searches for the same IP address.

  • Search for Printer Driver for Canon MPC190S

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem in getting my Mini to print on my existing printer (Canon MPC 190S).
    Called up Local Canon Support, saying that they dont Support Mac system.
    Anyone can help me out on advise on how to get the driver?
    Thanks
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    The Canon MPC 190 (don't know what the S means, it didn't come up when searching Canon's web sites) is only supported by Windows, so what Canon told you is correct, they don't have a mac driver or mac multifunction software for it.
    While there may be a way to enable the mini to do basic printing, you may want to consider another multifunction fax/copy/printer that has mac support.

    Hi, trying to control an HP 6655a Power Supply but the version of Labview in the PC is the old Labview 5.1.
    I don't want to upgrade it for fear that the program will no longer function. Does anyone have the driver for the HP6655a that will work with labview 5.1?

    Hi demo,
    Try the drivers directly from Agilent.

  • Quicktime inst error searching for old drive

    Please help,
    I am using win xp, trying to re-install itunes/qt 10, after replacing bad hard-drive. My old hard drive had 4 partitions on it d,e,f and g. I originally installed itunes/qt on drive g. My new drive only has one partition drive d. I have removed all apple installations including bonjour using windows installion cleanup utility, etc. I have cleaned up the registry. I tried to install qt as a stand alone and itunes/qt setup. For some reason both installations stall because "drive g is an invalid location" and does not complete. Is there a way to trick the installation to choose a valid location? or a work around?

    Excellent news, xo.
    In QuickTime install contexts, messages mentioning the \lib\ directories can be associated with trouble with your Java runtime on the PC. (There's a QTJava.zip file that the QuickTime installers and existing .msi databases can look for in your Java program files, and that \lib\ folder is in the Java program files.) So it might be worth also checking to see if your Java runtime is currently up to date. (Updating the Java on the PC often gets people past \lib\ errors.)

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

    Hi
    I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
    I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
    Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
    Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
    When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can format the search results as you expected.  But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
    Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
    Please refer to the following articles.

  • Searched for driver updates - do I need them all? Qosmio G30-175

    Hello people, new Toshiba user here.
    Last week I bought a Qosmio G30-175. After a Bluetooth installation problem everything is fine.
    I updated BIOS today to v1.70 (even though the Windows version wouldn't work)!
    I thought I would do a search for any driver updates and I find that 86 updates appear!!!
    Could somebody tell me whether all these updates are merely available for use, or does my particular laptop require all these updates?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    What?? 86 drivers??
    Are you sure? I have checked the Toshiba driver page of Qosmio G30-175 (PQG30E) and found only 50 drivers for Windows XP MCE.
    But the list of 50 drivers contains double entries! For example there are 2 BIOS, 2 LAN drivers, different modem drivers, etc listed.
    You should install only the drivers and utilities which are listening in the Installation instruction document. This guide line is important and you should follow this guide line if you install the Toshiba drivers manually.
    You will find the document also in the driver section
