Syncing a Windows Mobile OS Smartphone to the Macbook Pro

Hi,
I'm weary to buy the iPhone for a number of reasons I'm looking into the Samsung Blackjack.
I know the MissingSync is a decent program designed to sync Windows Mobile devices with Macs but I'm wondering how well does it work?
The most important feature for me would be syncing phone emails to my Apple Mail program - is that possible?
What do you guys use to sync phones with computers? How well does it work?
Thanks,
Jacob

Whoa, after looking through that forums briefly it
looks like everyone has problems!
You would come to the same conclusion when you look at the apple forums. Rule of thumb: Do not use support to guage the status of a product unless you feel good about making a statement about health care by going to the emergency room after a accident.

Mobile Video Editing on the Macbook Pro 13'' - Some questions...

This is my first time visiting this forum, and I just wanted to get some thoughts on a mobile video editing setup I am looking to create... Here's what I'd like to do:
- Use a Macbook Pro 13'' as my primary editing machine using Final Cut Studio for relatively small, but important projects.
- I want to be able to edit as speedily as possible, but on a moderate budget. I know that keeping FCS on the MBP's main HD and editing video on an external drive is the best way to go. Also, because the fastest interface option on a MBP is Firewire 800, I am thinking of using a G-Raid Mini 500GB drive in Raid 0 for both maximum speed and portability. But I also want to be able to easily backup any video edited on the external drive. I am weary of the fact that MBP only has 1 Firewire port (and in this scenario, I need to connect a G-Raid drive, a DV camera, and yet another external drive for backing up the G-Raid Mini)
Oh what a pain.
First, something I can't seem to find out is... if I want to load video to the G-Raid drive, I'm going to have to daisy chain my DV camera to it. If the DV camera is Firewire 400, will this lower the Firewire 800's port on the MBP down to 400 as well, thus kind of crippling the idea of speedy Raid 0?
And second, assuming I can hook up both the G-Raid and the DV camera to the Firewire 800 port without degrading speed... what would the best way be to go for backing up the G-Raid? I am thinking of using a USB 2.0 500GB drive, and using some sort of backup automation software. Any suggestions there?
What I'm looking for is mobility, functionality, secure backup for everything I shoot. I should have gone for a MBP 17'' with a Express slot, which would solve these potential issues... but again, I'm on a budget - and can't break the bank on this right now.
Any responses or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response.
But a couple things... the reason I'm going with the 13'' is purely out of circumstance. I have a friend who just didn't want it anymore, and is selling it to me insanely cheap. Also, I already have extra monitors
I think what I am going to do is this:
G-RAID 500GB running in Raid-0 connected to the FW800 port. From there, when I need to capture, I will daisy chain the DVX-100 to the G-RAID... which will cut the FW down 400 from what I have read. After my video is captured, I will disconnect the DVX100, so I can get the FW800 G-RAID back up to proper speed during actual editing. When I want to do backups, I will connect a regular 500GB G-DRIVE and run a clone of the G-RAID everynight after I finish editing.
This solves a few problems, but it doesn't solve the issue of an external TV for native viewing while editing. Personally, I don't think I will always need this, but my DVX100 does do passthrough. (anytime I do it though, it will bump my FW speed back down to 400) So I can either do that, or I can look into S-Video USB options (which I haven't researched yet)
It won't be the most ideal setup in the world, but it seems like a lot of people with these newer Macbook Pro's are suffering the same kinds of issues. Hopefully I will manage.
If anyone has any further suggestions, please let me know. Anyone else with a Macbook Pro 13''? What kind of mobile setups have you come up with?

How can I sync my contact on the macbook pro with icloud?

How can I sync my contact on the macbook pro with icloud? iPhone & iPad sync with no problems, but not with the MacBook Pro.

Go to iCloud in System Preferences and make sure the appropriate box is checked. You also need to be signed in.

Mark/Space releases version 4 of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile OS

Mark/Space has released the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile version 4, which offers many feature improvements. Among them, likely the most important is support for the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
A full list of what's new in this release is available here.

I installed the beta version of Missing Sync last night. It seems to be working well (contacts and calendar). Note that only Bluetooth connections are supported and you must read the detailed instructions for getting this to work.
I have yet to try a software installation.
I tried running Activesync 4.2 within Virtual PC 7 but it was hopeless so needed a Mac solution.

iSync does not support any Windows Mobile OS device, including the latest Windows Mobile 5 or 6 platforms.
I'm not sure why you're having a hit or miss experience with the Missing Sync for WIndows Mobile: even with an operating system as difficult to interact with as Windows Mobile, the process of setting up and synchronizing such a device should be straightforward. Have you attempted to contact Mark/Space for assistance?

Hello EL_1980,
The error -2147023293 translated to Hex is:FFFFFFFF80070643
0x80070643 is a general error here so it is hard for us to troubleshoot. Please try download the ISO format of Visual Studio 2015 Community so that you can use the fciv.exe tool to verify the hash value. All info are listed on the VS2015 download page:

Known Issue: Emulators for Windows Mobile 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294

Some users are receiving the following errors after Visual Studio setup completes
Emulators for Windows Mobile 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294
Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled
installation. Error code: -2147023294

We've fixed this issue, and have released an update as of 7PM PDT 30 April 2015.
New installs of Visual Studio 2015 RC should expect to no longer encounter this problem, unless
you lose your internet connection during installation. (That is, this error now indicates that the Windows SDK or Windows Emulator setup invoked by Visual Studio setup has lost internet connectivity and cannot download necessary files.)
To fix the issue, re-run setup and select the features "Universal Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile" again.
If you have already installed Visual Studio and encountered this problem, you can now modify your Visual Studio installation to successfully install.
Go to Program & Features, select Visual Studio 2015 RC, and select Change. Click
Modify, then select the features "Universal Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile", and click
Update.
Note that "Universal Windows App Development Tools" will be already selected. This is expected. Keep it selected, and click
Update.
An alternate solution is to install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows Emulators separately. Go to
https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install
the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.
Thanks!

Hi silverk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

Have a great day,

HT203167 I am trying to transfer itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a Macbook pro). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password.

I am trying to transfer my itunes songs that were purchased using a previous apple id and windows pc ( I now have a macbook pro). When I try and download the itunes files, a message appears telling me that 7 songs purchased under the old apple id cannot be added to itunes on my macbook( the rest are added ok). I know the previous apple id, but have forgotten the password. When I try and retrieve the password using the security questions, I am asked for my birthdate. When I enter my birthdate, I am told this information is incorrect! Thats as far as i can go!
How can I update my apple id( and remove any old ones) if I can't retrieve the old password?

You need a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:

I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine. My MacBook Pro does not. I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect. And, it isn't! Very frustrating. What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router. Again, only on the Mac. Thanks!

If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.

I got a macbook pro retina and I installed windows 7. How can I get the windows 7 drivers for the Macbook Pro Retina?

Read the Boot Camp Instructions, you have to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant
If you missed that I suggest that you read the instructions again.

about a month ago, Mavericks had an automatic update. I have a Windows 7 partition bootcamped on my macbook pro. Before the update, everything was fine. Now, when I attempt to start Windows partition, as soon as I touch the keyboard or mouse the screen goes black and I can't go any further. I have tried to re-load the bootcamp drivers and try again. It does the same thing. Any help would be great.

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

I wand to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac

I want to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch and use Parallel Desktop 6 torun it alongside my Mac OS. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac using boot camp.

As vazandrew said, Boot Camp will work with any standard copy of Win 7.
The only exception would be if you want to run it in a virtual environment, such as with Parallels or WMware.
I personally recommend Boot Camp, however, since it only uses the resources for one OS at a time.
