hello all! planning to shift to MAC soon, but after reading the posts here, seems like there is a lot to learn and it freaks me out. I am a bit hesitant now coz i am afraid i might lose a lot of data on my P9 during the learning process... is there a site or can anyone help me step by step for me to be able to successfully sync my data w/ MAC? does sync only work with bluetooth and not with the cradle? tnx in advance ..

Hi all,
Can anyone help I have a P900 and am running OS 10.3 on a G4 power book. I have connected the phone and mac together and beamed files to the phone but when I browse the phone it connects OK says the Operation complete but I cant see any of the phone files and the "get" button is greyed out. I want to transfer images from the phone to the Mac......Help Please.
Thanks Guys
Great Forum!

Don't be put off by the problems you've read about here. The vast majority of us have no Bluetooth/Syncing problems at all, and its only on rare occasions that we turn to forums like this for help. So you're only reading about a minority of problems rather than the majority of successes!
I'm not a P900 user, but a vaguely remember reading that syncing is only done via Bluetooth, not the cradle... Hope I'm right. I'm sure someone will correct me if not.
Getting back to Bluetooth USB dongles, I mentioned in a previous post I have the Sitecom CN-500 which I can definately recommend. I've just found it for 17.99 GBP on
http://www.play.com for any UK viewers. Good price. Link is
here
@~lozishere~: Was this the character you were trying to get?

@YET 555 and @JoolsG3,
Jools, you are correct. I recently(2 weeks) have gone from Windoze to Mac and will never go back. Bluetooth on a Mac is much more elegant and transparent than on a Windoze machine. My P900 syncs up everytime. Initially when you pair and want to sync, the box for syncing calendar and other info is grayed out but once a sync is performed, everything works just fine. I even sync my Z600 while I am syncing my P900. Give your Windoze box the boot. You will not lose any info at all. As always, you can make a boackup and burn it to a CD and then stick it in the Mac. The Mac will read the CD and let you copy your info back to the P900 via bluetooth.

What kind of Mac will you get? I have the 12 inch Powerbook and I just love it. Took me only a weekend to get the hang of it and about a week to feel completely comfortable with it. I have no plans at all to go back to Windoze. The only problem that I had was, converting my phone books from Windoze into Mac. It seems that MS does not make this easy. However, if you have the chance, convert your phone books to .csv format and import them into the Address book that comes with the Mac. It is quite comprehensive and I think that you will like it. It links to everything and is quite transparent. Hope this helps.

sapp,
My budget now allows me to get an ibook only... but ive heard a whole lot of advantages of a pbook from an ibook. I plan to wait awhile and get that 12" Pbook as well.
Sorry for the ignorance, how did you convert your contacts to .csv? also, what about your calendar? how did you transfer all appointments and important dates to Mac?
thanks a lot for the help

Hey mate. It is easy to convert your contacts. Which ever program you are using, i.e., Outlook or Outlook Express, has the ability to convert the contacts. You can use the help menu and search for contact conversion. From there, you simply import them into the new Mac email program. Will your new iBook have OS X or OS 9. If you can, get OS X. It is beautiful and is built upon UNIX. Lets hear you Windoze lovers beat that.
Drop me a line or two or a PM if you need more help. I have some great links and help sites for Mac.
Cheers,
Don
