MacBook Question???

I second Patmann's advice. I use Parallels, though (also a purchase, but I use Windows for 3 or 4 specific things). You can also use BootCamp, which comes preloaded on your Mac. The difference between the two is that with BootCamp, you set up a separate partition for Windows, and you have to restart your computer everytime you want to switch between OSX and Windows. With Parallels, you can have them running, well, in parallel. And if you have 2gb of ram in your machine, it runs pretty well. If you need more specific instructions, let me know.

I use VM Ware Fusion with no problems but if you dont' want take the route of virtualization missing sync is your best option

I have a question for mac users out there: how did you get your phone to sync via bluetooth? I haven't had any luck pairing my vzw xv6800 with my leopard macbook pro. I used to dial-up through my lg8700 through bluetooth just fine, so I know that my computer is capable. Anyone have insight, or a link with insight? Thanks!

Just got my Mogul on Friday, and now I'm doing everything with Syncmate and bluetooth. What I had to do was set my powerbook (running leopard) as discoverable, and add it from the Mogul, do the passkey and such, and they were good to go. That should at least give you OBEX for pushing files. I installed the HTC BTFtpClient, and set the ftp directory in bluetooth settings as \My Documents. Then all you have to do is select your device from the bluetooth menu on your mac, and "browse device" (you may have to select discover services or something like that to make sure FTP is working). If it doesn't work the first time, just delete each device from the other, and re-pair.

Are you using a Custom ROM or stock ROM?

Stock, I'm waiting for Monday's release before I start messing with custom ROMs. Here's the BTFtp I mentioned.

I like MissingSync. SyncMate works well too but overwrites some of MissingSync's settings. So go with one or the other, they don't play nice together.
