Motorola PEBL

Hi!
I know, the new Motorola PEBL is not listet in the latest compatibility list of iSync. But anyhow: has anybody succeded in syncing it either by Bluetooth or by USB? In both ways my PB recognizes the PEBL but isn't able to synchronise.
Since Motorola told me, they don't support Mac-Compatiblity because Apple wants to do that on its own (sic!), I hope, they are working hard on it...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hm, can't really diagnose from here... but... you know... maybe the PEBL is not yet officially supported for a reason 😉

Now Im confussed. I have been following these PEBL threads for ages trying to get my PEBL working via BT with my Powerbook. I have installed the plugin from 5337 and am running 10.4.6 with iSync 2.2. Yet still on pairing I get a 'no supported services' message. I aslo cannot add device to iSync it just states device not supported!!

What do I need to do to get my Mac to sync and use GPRS with my PEBL!!???

Do I need to alter the phones FLEX? I have no idea what that is and I'm afraid have no access to a PC. Any help to sort this would be good as Im reach the end!!

Go take a look here:

"iSync supports some versions of Motorola RAZR V3c, V3i, PEBL, SLVR L7, and V360 phones only over USB. If the Bluetooth Setup Assistant reports that "There were no supported services found on your device" when pairing your phone, this indicates that you will not be able to sync this phone using Bluetooth. To sync this phone with iSync use a USB data cable instead."

Hiya, I know this is slightly off topic, but has anyone figured out a way of getting files (e.g. photos, sounds etc...) from the PEBL to the Mac or vice versa? Can sync it fine using USB, but can't see a way of shifting files back and forth.

Great thanks. I guess we are saying the fault lies with the specific phone? Are there different firmware PEBLs out there? I gues I need to try and get Orange to change my PEBL....?

(Using Bluetooth:)

To transfer files from your computer to the PEBL, use the 'Bluetooth File Exchange' app that comes with OS X. When you load it, you should be able to select a file to send. When I sent an MP3 file, the phone automatically placed it in the Sounds area.

To transfer files from the phone to your computer, highlight the file on the phone and use the Menu (middle) button. Select 'Move' and you should see your computer name as an option. Select that and in a few moments you should see a file transfer alert on your computer, which you can accept/decline.

regarding file transfer:

As for me BT-Syncing does not work (only USB) there does not seem to be a way to transfer files to or from the phone...

what a shame...
