Clie & Macs

Bad Bodhi. This is a perfect Digital Hub topic. No cookie for you. :p

I think I mentioned this in one of my other threads. My journey for the perfect PDA (for myself) landed me the Sony Clie SJ30. All of my hotsync operations are done without a problem. You will just need to dnld the Palm Desktop 4.0 for mac. One cool thing that I really enjoy is the movie viewer called Kinoma. The kinoma producer for Mac works beautifully! And for images, I use Graphics Converter. This program is so great that I can export any image as a .pdb file, add it to my HotSync manager, Sync, and there it is! I love the experience that I am having with my Mac and my Clie.

the TG50?

I have a NX70v and am thinking of switching it over from my pc to my mac. If i'm not mistaken all of the sony included software does not work on mac. Most people use missing sync to get alot of features back, mounting mem stick, photos with iphoto, music with itunes.

I own a Sony Cli NX60, and I love it. The screen is great, and while people have bitched about battery life, I haven't noticed a real issue with it. Memory sticks are pricey, but you can find 'em cheap on ebay. Again, people make too large a deal out of that I think.

I use the thing for carrying around 128MB of my photography, constantly ready to show anyone who wants to see it. And it looks great.

You need to have 'The Missing Sync' to synchronize it with your mac. iSync says it is supported, but if you read the fine print, it says only when you use 'The Missing Sync'.

I highly recommend the Cli. Kicks the snot out of any Newton ;-)

Man, it's like shooting fish in a barrel with you Newton people... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

I'm thinking about getting a TG50 myself. Anyone have any experience with getting the Clie software to work with Virtual PC?

Yes, it is true, the bundled software does not work but so what? Don't buy the missing sinc, it has no market and is a waste of money.</strong><hr></blockquote>

well since your s320 can't play mp3's or display color photos, no I imagine you wouldnt need missing sync, although m3d jack says otherwise as far as isync. I think it has a market, its called people with clies that use macs.

i dunno what you are talking about...my clie nx70v will definately will not sync with palm desktop 4 alone.

Missing-Sync is a MUST. I find problems using iSync in conjuction with missing-sync tho, and have since killed-off iSync. The problem is that after a while, the Date-book nolonger shows up in the Conduit-settings, therefore doesnt get updated. Sure missing-sync aint perfect (my memory stick doesnt mount and iTunes wont recognize it) But who needs mp3s on a clie anyways? I got my 10gig iPod still rocking away!

I prefer palm Desktop anyways. I hated having to open different software (i Calendar to change Schedule, Address book to add contacts, etc.) when palm desktop lets me do all that under one roof.

And Fran...my clie (480x320 hiRez screen) IS SPECTACULAR.

(i was holding out as long as i could for Newton2, but could wait nolonger) :mad:

A software question: does the version of Documents to Go that comes with Clis work with a Mac. If not, is there a free/cheep upgrade available from DataViz?

TiFighter...yea, Im the same Fireants22.

Are you on cliesource as well?

yea as evildead, although I haven't been going there as much.

Thats weird, I'm guessing though most people just use it for word stuff. I did hear that that adobe reader is good though. Thats kinda cool that you use it for real work, do you use it at a reg full time job, or do you freelance and take it to your meetings with clients?

Yes this is why i bought mine as well :devil: and did use it quite a bit when i was in Tokyo last year :)

Ok guys,

There seems to be a confusion on whether Palm Desktop can work with the Clis.

Maybe its because I have a different Cli than you guys?

I swear to god, I sync with Palm Desktop to my Cli.

To the guy who couldn't: Are you using the latest version of Palm Desktop?(An earlier version did not work with my clie either)
Are you using OSX?

It seems to work flawlessly with my iBook.

Dunno, try it again?

from what i heard if you don't have a clie with a mp3 player you can sync with just palm desktop
