MAC OSX and Q - Motorola Q Forum

Rickrapp · 08-31-2007, 07:36 AM

Anyone have any free versions of Mark/Space? I have reviewed the site and it seems that the compatibility with the Q may not be 100%, I do not want to pay for something that may not work correctly.

Any other programs that Sync to the MAC?

Yea, that's Mark/Space...so people have used it with no probs? It seems that it is the best available, but there are a few errors that they post about the Q. Don't want to pay the $40, then not have full access to everything, figured there must be a free app out there somewhere to sync to a MAC. I really just want to sync calander and contacts.

oh.. did not know that (i don't have a Mac anymore, well i do, a few Mac II's) anyway, i would say snoop around in the Mac & Motorola Q forum.

I believe Tiger is a requirement. Having Tiger, I've had no problems syncing my Q with my PowerBook.

PowerMac is my main rig. I also have a PowerBook for traveling and recently picked up a DULL with Vista. It's come in handy for some Q related stuff (testing out the Motorola S9's). Used the DELL to move music to the Q. I bought the DELL for a PC app that I absolutely needed to run. Virtual PC on the Mac was a dog and I don't have an Intel mac yet.

My desktop is a menagerie of smartphones and computers... take your pick. It's all here.

How are you syncing? Are you using an app to do it or just bluetooth? I am running Tiger as well 10.4.10. I can bluetooth files, but cant sync (or don't know how to) what do yousync between your Q and Powerbook?

I did this piece on Mac and Moto Q back when it was beta and it's worked ever since. Syncs Address Book and iCal.
edit: I'm using Bluetooth exclusively. No reason other than it's worked well for me.
