hi, all
I am new here and so if this has been covered before please cut me some slack. I figured I would post this in case anyone else runs into this.
I upgraded to the myTouch 4g this weekend and I have a Apple Mac computer. After setting it all up, I was ready to move over some music using doubleTwist. I could not connect the phone to the Mac as a external drive via the USB cable. Even thought the app, was set to connect, the notification to mount the drive never appeared.
The *idiot* at T-Mobile customer care kept telling me I needed to install a driver (which of course ended in .exe an was for a PC, not a Mac). I finally was transfered over to the real tech support and he said that - yes, I was correct, there was no driver to do this, at the moment, with a Mac. He did stay I could get the doubleTwist Air program for the Mac ($35) and I could sync my music via wi-fi. Then the tech said he had a better program for me - it was the same cost and did much more.
What is this application - it is called SyncMate. I installed the app on my phone, installed the program on my Mac and in 5 minutes, via wifi not only was i syncing my music but I was able to directly sync my contacts, calendar, bookmarks, pictures and mount the sd card.
For the contacts and calendar you can bypass Google completely! Which is great for me, since I don't want to use Google to do a three way sync!
