Quick question about mogul and mac
 

Hello all, new to the forum with a quick question.

I am planning on getting a Mogul sometime in the next month, and I already know im going to want to add apps. Im just wondering how compatible the phone is with mac, and if I am going to run into any difficulties installing them since I have a mac.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

If sync doesnt work with it but this application might solve your issue and sync with itunes!

See the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile from Markspace.com

Unless the installer is an .exe file you can pretty much use the Missing Sync to install and sync everything.

I would avoid PocketMac as they don't seemed to offer the level of support and frequent product updates when compared to MarkSpace.

Get SyncMate, it's free and I'm currently using it on my Mac, works great!

if there is anything you want to install that has an exe installer, you can usually just extract the cab file from it.

thanks for the info guys... now i just have to go to the sprint store and check out the mogul and q9c... most likely going with the mogul.

I second SyncMate, it's free, works great and even syncs iTunes and iPhoto :P

Could you give us a short rundown of how you got it to work? I've tried all the different versions of SyncMate from 1.0.x to now the release 1.1.315 and nothing. When I plug in the usb cable, nothing happens! I know it's supposed to install a .cab file on the Mogul but nothing happens. Please help. I really need to get this working. Thanks so much!

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

Are you running on an Intel Mac or PPC? Have you tried setting disabling the "Advanced Networking" in the Mogul's USB connection? Go into "Connections"-->"USB to PC"--> and uncheck that box. Then try connecting your Mogul to the Mac.

You might also try connecting via WiFi, which should be pretty self-explanatory, provided you know how to get your current IP address.

get the mogul dude, its a great phone, has bugs, but one of the best cdma phones out. dont get a q9c, your talking chevy to ferrari in comparison

check the touch out too, its an awesome phone. the touch and mogul are neck and neck

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

I just tried that and still when I plug my mogul in the usb port still nothing happens. Any more suggests? I am really at the end of wits here!!!

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

Honestly, at that point I would say that you have an issue with the cable. Have you verified that the cable works when you connect your mogul to a Windows machine?

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

When somebody gets answer can you please let us know. I read this thread and same problem, nothing happends when I plug in. Plus when I try to move a file to SyncMate it tell me that syncmate can't be modified. PLEASE HELP

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

Yep, I've tried the same cable under Windows and activesync works fine. I've tried other cables also, and still nothing under OS X. I've a couple of Macs too. On the SyncMate blogs, there seems to be a number of people with the same problem. It's crazy. I hate to be critical of Eltima, but they are not really addressing the bugs even when many have talked about it.

one word... POCKETMAC...

it enables you to sync your windows mobile phone to your mac flawlessly.

tip the scales please... tip the scales...

WOOOOO!

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

I use missing sync and i will say it works great!, I tried syncmate but it would keep making multiples in my calenders, got real annoying and over all I just didnt really like it much.
Spending 40 bucks kinds sucks, but it was well worth it, effortless syncing over Bluetooth or Usb is nice.

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

you have a mac?

Re: Quick question about mogul and mac
 

Yes a Macbook just bought it a few weeks ago. Would something lead you to believe other wise?

SyncMate and Mogul finally working
 

Ok, the good new is that I got it to work. The bad news is that you can only sync over wifi. This might be more convenient given everything works with your wifi and router. Here's what I did:

1. Install SyncMate, reboot and go to the SyncMate app in your Applications folder.
2. Right click on SyncMate, and show package contents
3. Goto folder Contents-->Resources
4. Copy the file called Smartphone2005.arm.CAB to your phone via Bluetooth or your microSD card.
5. install the file on your Mogul
6. Run the SyncMate Driver on Mogul (should be in your start menu)
7. Select "Allow all" in the driver menu
8. Enable Wifi on Mogul
9. Start SyncMate on your Mac
10. Add new wifi device and put in the IP for the Mogul. If you don't want to enter new IP every time, you should give your Mogul a static IP. There are many ways to do this. I'm using a LinkSys router with DD-WRT and I can bind a specific IP to the MAC address of the Mogul.
11. Voila, you can now connect via wifi.
12. Somehow still doesn't work via usb. I guess you get what you pay for (in this case nothing!).
