WARNING: Transflash Incompatiblity With Mac
Hey all,
So. After spending all of last night going crazy trying to understand why I couldn't get my files playing from my mac on my phone, i never even thought it would be due to compatibility issues with mac os x. Well I was wrong, I had to transfer the files from my pc to the phone to get them to play on the phone. So if you only use a mac, your going to have to use either VirtualPC or another computer which has Windows loaded.
On a positive note, if you have mp3 files you want just to listen to on your phone, you don't have to change the file name to .mid, just keep it .mp3 and store it in your audio folder. You won't be able to use it as a ringtone, but if your not looking to do that, then don't!
Peace.

Ok so at least I am not crazy and something is wrong with the computer. Well I have virtual pc but how would i do this? Drag all the files from my mac to virtual pc and then load them from there? More explanation needed.

I don't have VirtualPC, I have a PC with windows. But from what i know, you need to get the virtualpc on the network, this way you will be able to share files via the network. I'm pretty positive that VPC will be able to use you SD card reader. That's about it.
One last thing though. Do not rename the files on your mac, do it on VirtualPC, mac actually makes changes to the file when you change it's extension, windows only changes the extension name.
Good Luck.

Here is a simple AppleScript which will delete the .Trashes folder and unmount the TransFlash volume:
do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/SANVOL/.Trashes"
do shell script "diskutil eject /Volumes/SANVOL"
Just launch /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor and paste in the two lines above (substitute SANVOL for the name of your TransFlash card). Save it as an Application somewhere on your hard drive, then drag it to the Dock. Now all you need to do is click the icon on the Dock to delete the ...
