Motorola Phone Tools and Mac

I just ordered 2 Motorola V3I's today. But since this model has the removable memory card and is Itunes compatible, maybe any program that will save in a MP3 or Itunes format can be used for the ringtones?? I know my current V400 will use MP3's for ringtones.

I just got a V3i, managed to get some tunes on it for iTunes but how the **** do you set a ring tone. The phone is supposed to support mp3 ring tones but I can't find a way to see or use my music that is on there as a ring tone. Is there some other special software that is needed?

I have the G5 I-Sight Imac and V3i Itunes, I use bluetooth to send the files (Tones/Games/Themes) and I Sync for my calandars/contacts. It works perfectly. To be honest I have used Motorola's software on a peecee before now and it is worse than useless. I only use the USB cable supplied for syncing up my ITunes as you cannot bluetooth them accross (At least I have not found a way).

Hope this helps...

Jamie,

After a bit of playing around on your behalf, I managed to sort out how to get ring tones onto your phone...

Pick the tune you want in itunes, and then convert it using the following settings:

MPEG-1 Layer 3
Bit Rate 64kbps
Sample Rate 32.000kHz
Channels: Joint Stereo

then copy the songs via USB cable into your music folder onto your V3i...

this works for myself and my wifes v3 RAZR...but you may have to play around a little on the MP3 conversion settings depending on your phones firmware version.

Let me know how you get on.

iSyn doesn't work for me. I have a Motorola V360 and iSync doesn't recognise it via Bluetooth. The USB cable only charges the phone and gives you access to the memory card.

Are there any solutions for me?

if you want to use iSync with your moto V360 follow these instructions
turn on the phone
main menu - settings - connectivity - usb - default connection memory card
now use isync and it will find your new v360 connected to your mac via usb cable (anyone else... your v360 probably didnt come with a usb cable - but it is standard min din usb connection) i got my v360 today thanks to a special offer with telstar for only 99$

I have a power book G4, a motorola cell phone, and I want to use my phone to connect me to the internet. My CD is for a PC -- is there something, maybe third party, that would allow my Mac to understand the Motorola Phone Tools CD, so I can go on the Internet while traveling??

Here's how I got ringtones on my V360. Connect your cell via USB to your computer 1. Turn on Bluetooth File Exchange in Apple Utilities on your computer. 2. Make sure your cell is on - I had bluetooth turned on for both my computer and cell at the time but I am not sure it matters. - go to setting/connection/USB settings - set it to Data/Fax Connection. Try to browse with Bluetooth File Exchange - you should see your cell come up and your cell should ask to pair with your computer. Type in a password on your cell -enter it into your computer - and voila - add your 64kb or whatever mp3s to the audio folder. After it's done downloading - you should see them on your phone in the ringers section.

It's actually quite easy to surf the internet using a motorola phone and mac laptop - I do it using a Motorola v3x.

There is no Motorola Phone Tools for MacOS X.

What do you want it for?

For synchronizing your contacts and calendars, iSync should be fine.

What about creating ringtones etc?

There are applications out there but I did not follow that question much 🙂
