i shoulda been more specific.. i meant scrolling with a scroll mouse (not keyboard). it was a lil on the slow side before.
much faster in safari and finder (but its probably universal).

I have noticed lower process usage. I installed the larger combo upgrade with the hopes that it would fix the USB error but no joy.
The thing I like about Apple/Mac is that when you install and upgrade, it is transparent. It just works. For Windoze users, it is like getting presents.

No worries. Run, do not walk from the USB cable. It is terrible.

I've installed iSync 2.1, but OSX Tiger STILL doesn't recognise my K750i!
Anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate for this to work!!!! Do I still need to use the fix JoolsG4 suggested?
Posted by enemymine
did you have any of the "hacks" installed before updating isync? if yes did you delete them / revert to original state?
try deleting your phone from the bluetoooth devices list in preferences and deleting it in /users/youruser/library/phones/
then re-pair the phone and try again.
I had tried the hacks to without success. I decided to wait on apple.
well by now I could't remember where and what i had changed so i just updated without reverting to the original state. it worked find first but after syncing one iSync always crashed on me... well I was planing on doing a clean install anyway so this was th best reason...
now syncing the phone works. However I can not initiate calls through the adress book or send a SMS either. anyone else got this bug?

@temporal_dragon:
If you've installed my phoneplugin file mentioned previously, delete it, restart and try re-pairing again. I had to do this too.

@ enemymine
the address book features doesnt work for my k750 either (cant dial or send sms). isync works 100% for me tho (but never tried the previous "hacks").
however, one thing ive noticed n dont like is when synced, the contacts on my phone have a dash, "-" where theres supposed to be a space (also same with my motorola v80 but at the time i thought it was an issue with motorola). for example. if my contact is supposed to be "Bob's Wireless Shop" on the address book app on my mac. on the phone it'll show up as "Bob's-Wireless-Shop". anyone know why? and more importantly, how to fix it?
ive synced my p900 before with isync (pre-tiger) and ive never had that happen before.
Posted by vd0t
ok i fixed the address book compatability issue. after browsing the apple forums heres what i found.. just follow the instructions n it should work
Make a backup of /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommandSets.plist (so you have something to fall back on should something go horribly wrong, of course)
Using BBEdit or TextEditor, edit the file above, locate a set of lines that says:
(array>
(/array>
Simply add another line so that it says:
(array>
(/array>
all credit goes to Lawrence Rillera.
now.. my question is.. how do i keep address book on all the time? i like the caller id feature. cuz most of the time i keep my phone on silent n i get alot of missed calls (so i dont have to switch back to silent when im not skool or work). or know of a free app that have this functionality too (there used to be a free app but now its paid).
also.. what about the syncing dash issue ("-" where theres supposed to be a space)? does this happen to u as well?

I'm having trouble with iSync and my K750i. All contacts with a birthday in Addressbook won't sync to my phone. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Posted by KopStar
I managed to get iSync working again, albeit after a full reinstallation! Cheers for the tips tho...
Got another issue though... When i connected my K750i to my iBook to transfer some themes, some files with names that start in ._ appeared as well. Now I can't erase them at all... Any ideas?
Posted by targetpractice
Problems I've noticed using OS X 10.4.2 and iSync 2.1...
1. I'm not able to answer incoming K750i calls or send calls to voicemail using the Address Book in OS X 10.4.2? Dialing and SMS work fine.
2. iSync 2.1 does not sync birthdays.
Anyone else having the same problems?

Hi!
I'm using a mac OS10.3 and a SE K750i. When i transfer files using the cable, there seem to be this extra file which cannot be open or deleted. Is this normal?? How should i get rid of it??
Posted by sapporobaby
@Vampire and Temporal_Dragon
This is normal. The Mac OS X generates these files as part of Finder when it keeps track of files. Go to: Click me or Click me also and finally: Hey, click me too
These will delete the files. Before you disconnect from your Mac, run one of these programs. Pick the directory, usually the Root and this will delete all files that Finder created.
Posted by sapporobaby
Just found this program that claims to halt the crashes associated with using the USB cable and the k750i. I do not have a k750i, but have a z800 and it seems to work. Go to: Click me to download.
Good luck

Wahey, it works! Now all I need is Salling Clicker updated and I'm sorted.
Posted by Jools
Salling Clicker 3.0 is coming soon which does support the K750i. I'm currently officially testing a beta version and its definately gonna be worth the wait.
Posted by Jools
K750iGrabber has been updated to v1.1 with support for K750's upgraded with W800 firmware and W800's:

@JoolsG4
K750Grabber works brilliantly! Now my K750i and iBook aren't arguing anymore!
You tha Man!
Posted by Jools
Actually sapporobaby is tha man! He'd already posted about it before I noticed it on MacUpdate! I just noticed the 1.1 update!
Posted by Jools
And now I've noticed the v1.2 update:
http://www-users.kawo2.rwth-aachen.de/~razzfazz/k750igrabber/
This one adds support for additional phones: K750i, D750i, W800i, Z800i
Posted by luuuke
Hi all, I'm new here and was hoping for some help please
have been browsing to find a solution to the k750i / Mac / USB / ._annoyingfiles that appear after loading some mp3's onto my phone
i've downloaded FinderCleaner, as mentioned a page or so ago
...but it doesn't seem to work! not sure what's wrong, but if i open up findercleaner and select the removable disk 'no name' ...as my phone appears on my desktop, nothing much happens
I'd assumed its supposed to whiz through, tell you how many files have been deleted, then 'eject' the phone from the desktop?
am i doing something wrong?
any help would be great, thanks
Posted by sapporobaby
I recommended FinderCleaner and it works exactly the way it should.
Here is what I do:
1. Start FC
2. Select the root of the directory. I chose from the left hand side of Finder that lists the phone drive.
3. Select this entire director which will also select the subdirectories as well.
4. Tell FC to start. When done, press eject and it will give you are report and eject your phone.
I can maybe try and post some screen shots if you need some. Let me know.
Cheers
Posted by KopStar
I tried it and it works for me! I'm happy...

Thanks for your help sapporobaby
...think there must be something wrong with me though - i can't get it to work!
When i open FinderCleaner, it brings up a finder window which asks me to choose a volume or folder to clean. i choose the phone's folder in the left hand bit of the window, as you say, then the window dissappears, and that's it - nothing else happens. How do i 'eject' the phone?
sorry for sounding like an idiot!
your help is appreciated
thanks

No worries.
I will provide step by step instructions:
1. While your phone is connected to your Mac start FinderCleaner 1.4
2. It will open up a "Choose a Folder" dialog box where you can choose a folder to clean.
3. Select "Untitled" (mine says Untitled. yours might be something different)
4. When you select Untitled, select the entire directory and none of the sub-diretories on the right.
5. Click "Choose".
6. It will take about 5 seconds and then you will have the option to either Quit or Eject.
To disconnect and eject the drive, naturally select Eject. However, if you choose Quit, and leave the phone connected, it will still put the ._file back on your phone if you access finder.
Hope this helps but FinderCleaner works great.
Posted by luuuke
Thank you.
Steps 1 to 5 are spot on and I've followed those instructions exactly
...but, once I've done that, nothing else happens. there's no option to eject or anything. it just does nothing. if i click on the FinderCleaner icon again, i just get a spinning cursor.
Have tried it so many times! I must be doing something wrong
Posted by Jools
I can't get Finder Cleaner to work for me either - I get the spinning cursor. So I use "DS_Store Cleaner" instead.
Just drag the folder/disk you want to have cleaned onto the apps icon. DS_Store Cleaner will launch and automatically clean the folder and any sub folders. When it is finished, you will see an alert box which tells you how many .DS_Store files have been deleted.
Posted by luuuke
Cheers Jools,
...after you've done that, how do you 'eject' the phone without the files being created again?
Posted by sapporobaby
Strange.
FinderCleaner works the best for me.
Posted by Jools
Just drag it to the Trash. As long as you don't access the device through the Finder after cleaning (i.e. open windows, copy files etc.) the nasty .ds_store files won't be added again!
Posted by luuuke
I just got FinderCleaner to work perfectly!!!
it would seem to be to do with the password thing. when you use FC for the first time, it asks for a password, then after that it is added to your keychain
it works the first time, deleting all the crap then giving the option to eject ...but then not again after that.
so i deleted it from the keychain. The next time i used it, it asked for the password again ...and it worked again!!!
is this a concidence? am I mental? I dunno - but at least i got it working!

Did I fail to mention the "password" thingie in my step by step instructions?
Cheers dude. Glad you got it to work.
Posted by luuuke
Yeah I think you did!
Cheers for all your help sapporobaby, and jools
Now I'm past this little issue, I can bother someone else with more questions about something else!
...not sure what yet though

No worries mate. I may be biased but I feel that this is probably one of the best threads on this board. Real questions, real solutions. Not the: "hey a just bought a phone, how do I turn it on" type of questions.
Ask all you want. We be here waiting.
Posted by luuuke
Okey dokey then... another one for you
All this de-branding I've been reading about in other threads...
Can I do this on my Mac? ...with the USB lead?
...would love to get rid of all the Vodafone Live crap

Another answer for you: NO. You need a PC. I debranded my v800 ---> z800 and had to use my PC to do this. I used: Davinci Team and it worked perfectly. I now have an unbranded z800 that is as though it was a retail version. The cool thing about my phone is that it can still use the SEUS (SonyEricsson User Service), and my phone has the ultra-black casing.
Let me know if you need more help. Us Mac-heads got to stick together. World domination is a slow business.
Posted by luuuke
ah, that's a shame
cheers anyhoo though
why didn't they make the software that came with the phone Mac friendly? Are we not worthy??
