Software Updates Can Break Mac-to-cellphone Tethering

According to MacFixIt, firmware/software updates from Apple may just play havoc with your tethered Internet connection as your mobile phone may lose its ability to host connections from a Mac.

MacFixIt reader J.E. de Sequera who experienced a similar problem writes:

"I had a Motorola Razr which had to be replaced when it got damaged. The new Razrs will not work as tethered modems. [...] Verizon replaced my Razr with a Krzr (K1M) and guess what? It doesn't work either.  On the other hand, when I plug in my wife's Krzr (K1M) it's instantly recognized by my Mac. The only difference is that her phone has older software than mine.

"I can only guess that Verizon is trying to control what you can plug into your phone and has disabled the phone's functionality as a tethered modem on a Mac. You can't even use generic auto chargers anymore, as the phone gives an error message saying it's an incompatible charger."

Nokia's new software simplifies Mac syncing
Added on 2007-06-08 10:23:00

Nokia has made some real progress with their new sync software for Mac, Nokia Media Transfer 1.0.  Ridiculously boring name aside, the software is actually pretty amazing and makes syncing between your Nokia phone and iTunes and iPhoto a snap.  The software creates a new folder iCon (sorry, we had to) in both iTunes and iPhoto.  Then, drag your fav playlists and photo albums into the folder, click sync and you're on the road with no messy mass storage issues to manage.

As an aside, if you want to finish fully syncing your phone, be sure to use iSync to sync contacts, calendars and tasks.

We just installed Nokia's software at the office, and are really impressed with the quality.  So far, we've only used it to sync two devices in the last ten minutes, so we'll let you know if we find any issues with it as we continue to tinker. The software makes syncing phones as simple as syncing any other portable media player, which is definitely a good thing.

PS -- It's still in beta, so consider yourself warned.  Download it from Nokia's site.

Will the iPhone be obsolete before it ever comes out?
Transmedia is offering new software which promises to make ‘every major cell phone on the market into more than an iPhone…’
The Glide Sync and Glide Mobile software has been available to Windows users since December, and is now available for U.S. Mac users, allowing them to access any kind of desktop file. But it doesn’t stop at just being able to access the files. They can be manipulated as needed, and then synchronized back to the Mac.
