hi..
I would like to check with you guys.. I have an irritation which I was wondering if it could be rectified.
Currently I connect my WP7 to 2 computers, one is my personal laptop which I use at home (to check for updates, sync MP3s and videos) and the other is my Work PC, which I frequently use it to transfer work related photographs i shot using my phone to my PC, for work purposes.
My question is, whenever I plug in my WP7 to my Home Laptop, it shows my WP7 phone name (Harold's Optimus 7) on Zune. Then when i go to work, and plug in my WP7, it shows as 'Guest' at Zune.
I am not able to transfer photos when my phone's relationship is 'Guest', and need to change the relationship.
Is there a way to make the phone accept the 2 computers rather than having me constantly changing relationship?
Any help is very much appreciated.

I do not think you can connect a windows phone to a Mac computer. They are not compatible.
What you can do instead is -
1.download the cookiehometab.cab file on your computer,
2.then send yourself an email that is linked to your phone and attach the .cab file.
3.dowload the attachment on your phone and then run it to install it.
That should be all you have to do.

You can download the apps to your computer, they will just be unrecognizable. Transfer them to your SD card through USB or Bluetooth, and then search it on your phone. This worked well for me. Quicker then DL them strait from your phone!
theres a software called "missing sync" for mac's. try searching for a torrent or unless you want to buy the program. but it works better than activesync in my opinion.
Moved as not software release.
I'm using a macbook to connect to my hd2 most of the time. No problems connecting at all.
Connect USB cable and connect as disk drive on HD2, Macbook sees hd2 sd card as disk drive. Just access the drive on your mac and transfer the file(s) to hd2 storage card.
Or, if you have set up a bluetooth connection between the mac and the hd2, use the mac's "sent file" option in the bluetooth menu.
After you get the file to your HD2 you can use the original installation instructions again.
The syncmate program works great for syncing your contacts etc. But had some trouble getting it to work through bluetooth. I use the USB for that. But than the phone has to be set to active sync mode.
(love my macbook pro, but hated the iphone hype and the restrictions hence the HD2)
Phone: Samsung Omnia 7
OS: Windows 7 SP1
Sync through USB: fast and flawless
Phone connected through AC charger and wireless sync was setup without problem with the zune desktop software.
I am using zunedevices.exe tool to sniff for pings and stuff.
Actually, the phone appears as a network location under "other devices" with the name WindowsPhone:nameIgaveit but it doesn't appear to install any wireless driver (that should install, as far as successful syncs i have been reading about here)
Why do i want this so bad? because zune (music+video app) play counts does not update my zune card on zune.net. And I read somewhere that the device sends the playcounts when its plugged in AC and syncing wirelessly.
Already spent a good chunk of my weekend on this. Some help please?
I had a problem where plays on the device wouldn't have an affect on the play count in my local zune database or the zune social. It didn't work for a while, it started working, I hard reset and it stopped working again.
Anyway, I eventually used the Zune Media Collection Reset Tool and it has worked great since then. It will wipe out your current local playcounts though.
i tried what you suggested but it still doesn't work.
like i said, my phone registers as a upnp device, my computer just doesn't install the drivers for it. which is weird because in the same network but with my laptop, it does and it syncs wirelessly for me. :-s
EDIT: As my suspicion that my problem is caused by a conflict with another program/service grows, i went ahead and re-installed my OS. (i had so many installed programs, it's easier to just wipe completely as i didn't mind really) it works now! although i must say, play counts still does not move forward if i play through the music+video hub in the phone. hmmmmnn...
hey XDAs
received my omnia 7 on last friday and it´s everything i could´ve asked for!
but now i got a little problem...
at first, some facts: i´m on a macbook pro and i use the windows phone 7 connector (tried win 7 and zune via boot camp, too).
i tried to unlock with 2 different trys, a) with chevron and b) with some dialer code to get in the "diagnosis" menu........both tries failed!
but after b) i got a new "diagnosis" tile in my apps menu
now i have the problem, that my pc can´t recognize the phone anymore...win 7 and zune say "no phone connected" and the wp7 connector (mac) doesn´t do anything (should start automatically, when phone is plugged in) but i get a "new network device found" message where i need to configure the new device.
(in addition, i THINK that my phone doesn´t even load the battery through the usb port, so maybe my cable is broken?)
maybe i can´t connect my phone because of the "diagnosis" menu?? and how can i remove this app??? maybe i should do a factory reset?
so what´s the problem here??? even if i can´t do the unlock, it sucks not being able to put music, videos or even updates on my omnia ;(
really nobody?
I don't know anything about using Macs with a WP7, but on windows, you need yo make sure you have the latest Zune. Also, if you have hacked to allow tethering, you have also turned off the Zune sync function.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
"so what´s the problem here??? even if i can´t do the unlock, it sucks not being able to put music, videos or even updates on my omnia ;("
The problem is you aren't actually running windows, it's still a virtual system. The USB controls are still through your mac. You will not be able to connect your win7 phone to a mac, that is not possible, and your wasting your time even attempting it. Sell the mac and buy a laptop, you will be happier.

If he's using VMWare fusion and accessing a Win7 guest via OSX host, then you're right.
However, if he's dual-booting Win7 through Boot Camp, then it should still work.
Samsung phones, like LG phones, have a way of switching the USB mode to allow Zune or allow tethering (the latter killed by Mango).
Monkeytown will have to follow the instructions for changing the USB mode back to the one that allows for Zune (on LG phones, it's called MS COMPOSITE).
i´m running a dual boot system, no vmware...
and microsoft released the wp7 connector themselves for mac, so it SHOULD work :/
i think i never saw an option of tethering in the settings menu, so how can i do that? i mean, change the usb mode
/e: i managed to get another omnia 7, and it works like a charm via my usb cable and mac connector
so....i would like to see the instructions that i should follow -.-
Hi, I have the HTC One X and miss the days of simply being able to drag my files into the phone folder on the desktop whenever I plug my phone into the laptop rather than having to deal with the buggy and often unresponsive "HTC Sync" every time I wan't to add music to my phone. I have a Mac laptop but strangely it still allows me to copy my files the basic way when I connect my phone to a Windows PC but not on my MacBook. Is there any way I can get it to work like this on my Mac? I would appreciate any help as editing files on my phone has become a dreaded chore at this point an I'm really considering trading for a SGS4, thanks .

Hi, You just need to activate the mass storage on you'r phone when you conect it, after that well just use you'r old friend called drag n' drop
I've discovered that my Pixel 2 (running Android 8) is having trouble communicating unidirectionally with my iMac (running OS High Sierra). The computer can ping the phone fine, and when I use a photo transfer utility moving photos from the computer to the phone is 100% reliable. The converse is the problem. When I use the same photo transfer utility but want to move photos from the phone to the computer, recognition of the computer is very poor. If I repeatedly prompt the app to upload, in 1 or 2 out of 10 attempts the iMac will be "seen" by the phone resulting in a successful upload. I've been living with this, but now have another utility I want to use on the phone that requires reliable bidirectional communication.
I downloaded a ping utility for the phone and it is unable to ping the computer despite reliable communication with the home wifi network for internet functions.
I will try these connections with another computer to try and pin down where in fact the problem is rooted, Pixel 2 vs my iMac.
Any other suggestions on how to proceed in troubleshooting this problem?
can you ping the same IP from a different device on the network?
No. Tried other cellphones and another computer. When I use a photo sharing utility for moving images back and forth between computer and phone, the computer always sees the phone; the phone only sees the computer about 1 in 10 tries.

If you can't ping the computer successfully with any other device or computer, it's probably an issue with your firewall settings (if you're using one). Or possibly your router is throwing the packets away and needs to be configured to allow the incoming traffic from your local network. I could be way off base here but it seems to me if it's consistently a problem with all devices, it has to be something like that. It would make sense that the computer could ping the phone but not the other way around. The pings from the computer are outgoing and as long as the phone accepts them, it will work. The firewall or router wouldn't block the outgoing ping requests. Only the incoming.
The only thing that doesn't make sense in this regard is that you are able to connect to the computer once in a while. I would think it would fail all the time if it were a router/firewall problem. So, I don't know for sure. It can't hurt to check it out though.
What's the name of the app you're using to transfer photos?
