I've just got a 02 X3 mobile phone with USB output on it, I also got a powerMac G4 runnin on OS X. When I plug the phone in the system does not register the device, that I have connected so where do i need to be looking, for access to all USB port (i.e. will i need to run a terminal shell or use finder if so how are the names defined)
thanks for any help
Does the phone show up in System Profiler?
Mayhaps the phone needs a driver for the Finder/OS to see it? What exactly are you trying to do with it?
You should probably be using iSync with it.. here is the list of phone compatible with Panther:
nah i kno that, the driver CD is for windows so it wont work on a mac I've also tryed Isync its no help.
well the phones got a mini sd memory card capable of playing MP3 format files.
(i wanna listen to chunes on da move)
oh and in xCode theres a utility called USB prober that ive tryed to use but i really dont know were to begin with that coz i dont know the individual names of the usb ports i dont kno what im looking at and im a beginner C++ programmer so i cant write a program that'll do it for me ... wel not yet!
If the device was seen and recognized by your Mac, it would appear in USB Probe:

Hub Descriptorit probably dose but i really can't make heads or tales of it, and if i did spot it. What step would i have to take to do what i want with the desired port i.e. write a program or read up on something?
