> Can I link my K750i to Mac via USB cable?
Bookmark topic
Stupid question which has probably already been answered elsewhere, but can anyone tell me how I link my K750i to my G4 Mac using just the bundled USB cable? Can it be done, or do I need to buy a bluetooth adaptor?
Thanks for any help!

ahm, just plug ur cable in to the usb port on the mac and the usb port on the phone (not sure if it's the fast port or a mini usb port - read your manual). If I know mac, you should get an drive icon appear on your desktop for the phones contents.
Bluetooth is wireless, and has nothing to do with a cable usb connection. So no, you don't need to turn bluetooth on to use the cable. Completely separate connection methods.

I tried this and nothing comes up. If I go into system profiler on the mac, the phone is listed as a device but will not come up onto the desktop as an icon.

yes it sounds very much like the k750 isn't a true "thumb drive". This is very disappointing. The only hope (sorry) is that your cable is stuffed or your personal K750i is faulty somehow - then atleast it can be fixed.

my mac recognizes my k750 as a thumb drive.
it pops up as another removable drive. unfortunately, it sometimes triggers a kernel panic upon disconnection or connection. this should be fixed in 10.4.2 tho.
on a related note, its not the same case for me on windows. it forced me to install some drivers (including modem, etc) for me to be able to see it as a removable drive.

My K750i has just been delivered so I will try and hook up to my iMac (G4 / 10.2.8) tonight when I get home.

@ martinport
I just tried this on my K750i at work and had no success either.
G4 867Mhz DP running 10.2.8
I can't see it working on my iMac at home then.

Ahh, I think in my case it is a software issue. I plugged into another machine here at work, running 10.3.7, and it worked fine.
