Can anyone out there talk me through downloading music from my Macintosh powerbook iTunes program to my Kyocera 7135, via the hotsnyc cradle? Is there a more efficient way load music into this phone?

There's no way to hotsync MP3s to the 7135 on a Mac. You need to get an SD card and a card reader, then copy the songs that you want onto the card (into a folder called "AUDIO").

I'm very disappointed with Kyocera's lack of Macintosh support for MP3s and custom ringers. I use my 7135 to connect my iBook to the internet nearly every day though, so at least they got the important stuff done right.

I purchased a 128mb SD card. Can you recommend a good card reader? Is it then simply a matter of dragging the music files onto the card? Also, is this the same way to load jpg's? Can I view jpgs in the PhotoSuite program that came in the 7135?

About using your 7135 as a modem with your iBook.... Are you running Panther? Everything I've read says the Kyo USB drivers don't support Panther... Do I assume that Apple's drivers do the trick?

tuckeyr,

I'm using the same Kyo modem scripts in Panther that I used in Jaguar. I've used them in OS 9 on a Kanga too (though I had connection speed issues, haven't investigated that yet because it was just a "Hey, look what I can do" thing).

Robert,

As far as good card readers go, just get the cheapest one you can find, they all pretty much work the same. I see them for $10 and under all the time on dealmac.com. It really is as simple as dragging them to the card. They have to be in the right directory (I think its PALM/AUDIO). Pictures have to be in a DCIM directory, as if they'd been placed there by a digital camera. The app thats installed by default in the phone doesn't work for doing this (PhotoSuite), you have to install the one that is on the CD(PhotoView). I have Virtual PC, so I pulled the files I needed off the disc and hotsynced them. I even did a hotsync from inside windows once just to install some files.

Later,

Matt
