Any Mac users out there? I have a few questions. What's the best way to move media files over to the phone? How are you synching Mac address book with the Note 2? Is there anyway to synch iCal with the phone?

I'm a Mac user and I have a Note 2. Here's what I do:
I move media, mostly music, using the usb cable. Down load the Android File Transfer program to your Mac. When you connect use the notification window shade to bring up "Connected as an installer" when you tap it you get the option to check "Media device" option. With that running you can drag and drop between the AFT program and your Mac. I usually put iTunes on one side of my Mac's screen and the AFT on the other.
BTW: if you are using Apple Lossless music files (ALAC) the program Poweramp can play them on your Note.
I don't sync iCal as I use just the gmail calendars, but I imagine that if you enable the Google to iCal sync on your mac it would work fine.

Hi DD, I have AFT. When I plug in my GN2 w the USB cable a warning screen comes up saying that the phone hasn't connected. if I pull out the USB several times eventually I get a connection. Fickle and frustrating!

I also use AFT. Its very slow on a mac to recognize the drive.Leave the usb plugged in for at least 2 minutes. It always works for me on my GNII
