Database Info

[Q] New here!! Few questions

Okay so Ive Been an iPhone user for the las 3 years and jump ship to the Captivate for something new. I'm having trouble getting my email I had from iPhone (yahoo). So is there a place to learn how to get the following things?
1. Email
2. iTunes music I have
3. Pictures
4. Digital copy movies
Thanks !!!

I, too, have come from the iphone and had trouble with my yahoo mail account. The information in this thread works fine for me.

(replace ** with "tt")

The above said link tells the same thing. Basically the default email client works with yahoo only on att network. And it will not work on any other network including our wifi. Best thing is to move to Gmail. That is what I am thinking to do because it works on every platform, you can do imap, pop3, web you name it. So ditch yahoo it makes life easy

Email
I'm sorry !my email is from verizon.net but on my iPhone on settings was under yahoo. Really confused

For music it not hard as itunes. Simply copy the songs to the SD card that's it. Just make sure you have proper properties are set on the files.
Same with photos and movies, just copy on the SD card.
Its very very simple not like sick iTunes.

But forgot to write that the same account was fetching emails perfectly on my phone even there is no sim in it. I think yahoo has some dealings with apple and att that's why those work fine on those. I am really surprised yahoo behaving as it's still going to live more so simply ditch.

If you have drm'ed itunes music then you can't use it.

There is a program for iTunes for android. I don't remember but I Google it and it came up. Really nifty program. I had my music setup in tunes and didn't feel like dragging and creating folders and such. The music player on captivate is pretty nice. I start using it as my music player now.

DoubleTwist and MediaMonkey will sync music to your phone. Also Samsung has their own app: Kies.
As for your email - if verizon.net is your email then setup a new email account on the phone using the Verizon settings. No one can tell you why you have Yahoo and VZW combined on the iPhone - there is no love between the 2. AT&T has a relationship with Yahoo.
I find that drag and drop of movies and music is easiest. DoubleTwist failed for me, MediaMonkey only does music, and Kies is slow.
As mentioned above, if any of your music is DRM protected, you will only ever be able to play it on iSomething.

If you want to sync music, pics and photos you can use songbird. You can export your play lists as. M3u? And songbird will easily recognize everything. PM if you want help setting it up.

i want to put music n phtos on the phone using the transformer and sync the callender between the 2 devices

I don't think Stevey Jobs will allow you to do that
Most likely won't find anything here, check Cydia, that's your best bet

You can sync calendars on both devices via google calendar. Beats iPhone sync as it is done via Wi Fi not iTunes. As for music, there are apps that say the sort of sync, but I have not been able to get any to work correctly.

I used to have a jailbroken iphone. I had an app called iFile that would let you manage files on the device itself or turn it into a web based file server. If you have your transformer and the iphone on the same wifi network, you can activate the file server on the phone then just open the phone's ip in the browser on the transformer, and upload files through the browser.

Very Useful Calendar App?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone uses their Fire as a day planner of sorts... I use mine for notes and stuff already and was wondering if anyone knows of a useful calendar app that would sync between my Kindle and my phone.. Also, my notes don't sync either, so if you know of an app that does that, it would be a bonus!
Thanks in advance!
By the way, I'm rooted, but running stock, but do have regular market

I use cozi on my KF, Blackberry, and computer. They all sync together immediately when a change is made. I sync my college calendar and my daughters school calender into it as well. My wife uses it on her phone and computer also so we both know each others schedules. She works first shift and i work second plus going to college so its been perfect for us. It has calendar, to do lists, and shopping lists. I used to forget to tell her to pick something up at the store when she went shopping. Now i just put it on cozi when i think of it and she sees it on her phone when she goes. There is a free with ads version and a paid with no ads version. You can download it on amazon for the KF and at their website for your phone and computer.

[Q] Password Safe App That Syncs with other Devices

Anyone have a password safe app that will synchronize its database with your desktop computer, preferably windows?
I use Password Safe (a SourceForge project) and it works great, but I need something that also has an Android client that I can sync somehow... like through DropBox, maybe.
Any suggestions?

lastpass?

Thanks. Not a bad idea.
Looks like you need LastPass Premium ($1/month) in order to use the Android client. I'm not sold on keeping my passwords on someone else's website yet, though.
I'm surprised that no one makes a client for either Password Safe or any other program. Seems like it would be a popular thing.

They're stored on data encrypted servers. They've never been breached either.

I'm using mSecure, great app and got option to sync password database using dropbox or wifi connection with your pc

iCloud or Switch to Google?

Hi guys,
New Android user here (Samsung Galaxy S3). The problem is all my contacts and calendar are on iCloud. Do you think it's better to use sync adapters like SmoothSync to get my iCloud stuff to work (prefer not to pay though...), or do you think it's better to just switch to Google? Keep in mind that my desktop environment is Mac.

Switch Its okay that your desktop is MAC though I think galaxy s3 and mac don't go together. Google syncs your contacts, because I switched to a different phone and when I entered my google acc info all my contacts from my old phone showed up and the calendar synced too. If you tend to switch to iOS phone then I guess use the smoothsync or w/e that paid app is.

Google
If yu have a mac. I think you should use google. As the new version of google is mac friendly!!

Switch. It should be fine

If you go to the iCloud website you can download vcards for all your contacts and then import them into Google.
