Will the touch pro sync with mac?

[therookielot]

Alright, before I join the world of macbooks, I want to make absolute sure that my TP will sync with it. If not, I'll probably get a windows based computer. I assume there's some sort of program that will allow this or will it connect directly as soon as I plug in?

There are a few application that will work. Here is one:

That's tight. Thanks. But Is there something that's cheaper though? Somewhere a long the lines of free 99?

I use syncmate: http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html

They have a free and a paid version. Depending on what you are looking to sync, you can also set up activesync on the phone to sync to your Google contacts, etc. and bypass the computer all together.

I just plug my TP in (don't use activesync or anything, just Disk File transfer)

But you are talking about syncing addresses and what and I know there is a free program out there but I can't remember atm, but when I do I'll be sure to post back here!

If I remember right, this is it. It's syncmate...

Syncmate's free version sucks IMO. It does a descent job syncing iCal but you have to pay 40 to get the "expert" version where you can sync iTunes and other nicer options. I tried to use the "mount disc" option to send music files and it froze my computer up. Im getting closer to paying for missing sync

My girlfriend has a Macbook and is seriously thinking about the Touch Pro. So this has been a hot topic and I've been looking into it. While the solutions listed above will likely work, we've signed up for a free 'mail2web' account which will let her wirelessly synch up everything as if connecting to an Exchange server (contacts, calendar, emails, etc). However still two potential issues -

1 - Synching mail2web to Outlook on a Mac/PC costs $1.99 a month. There is a workaround for this - and I can share if you're curious, just PM me.

2 - Doesn't sync 'My Documents' from phone to computer. IMHO big whoop. Just back your stuff up to your MicroSD which is better practice anyway.
