Help mounting the rezound as a drive on a mac

[PepermintRhino]

I swapped out my droid razr for a rezound earlier today, but when I plugged it into my mac, it didn't recognize the rezound or the SD card in it like it did when I had the micro SD card in my razr. is there some secret to getting my mac to see the phone, or at least the card, as an external drive?

You have to mount the SD card as a disk drive from the phone before the computer will see it. Perhaps this is the razr's default behavior. I believe with HTC phones, a screen pops up when you plug the phone into a USB port, and you can choose between Charge Only and Disk Drive. There's an option to remember your preference and to default to it as well.

Settings > Connect to PC

Default Connection type:
Charge Only
HTC Sync
Disk Drive
USB Tethering
Internet pass-through

Ask me (checkbox)
Ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my phone to a PC


(This is based on my Evo 3D's Sense menus. I assume it's the same on the Rezound but can't guarantee it)

when plugged into computer, if you pull notification menu down and click where it says "charge only" you only get two options, charge only and the disk drive option. Forget exactly how it is worded but novox is right on, it is basically all the same on our sense phones except for the wording is tweaked from sense versions...

if you are still having trouble let us know and I will dive into phone to check for sure (i'm actually trying to put it down for an hour or so.. not sure i can make it)
