Sorry, I do not follow this. Will the Droid sync with a Mac computer? Thanks, George

Sorry Sam, I disagree with this one.

I don't like missing sync products. I find them to be a huge disappointment and almost always a waste of money. I don't use see any reason why I would need this. Since I use Google for everything anyway, and you can sync everything to Google what's the point?

Dear Hook,

thanks. So I use gmail and could just use that on my new Mac?

Would like to sync the MacPro contacts and calendar with the Droid. I did that on the PC using CampanionSync which worked very well.

Thanks again, George

For contacts and calendar spanning sync to sync iCal and address book with Google calendar and contacts. For iTunes and iPhoto to sync with your Droid sailing media sync.

My mac only has ical and I don't use Mac Pro Contacts. I know you can sync ical to gmail but I'm not sure about Mac Pro Contacts and calendar. I just tried a google search and I'm not coming up with much.

Gmail is a key component to the Droid as is Google. You want to set up as much stuff as you possibly can in gmail (contacts) and Google (calendar) as the Droid is a Google phone.

There is no guarantee that the Missing Sync will work with your programs either. If you can port your calendar to ical then you can make that work. I don't know about your contacts.

I'd love to find out how to do this also. I did this in a round about way by importing and exporting my Mac Address Book through the SD card. Haven't found a way to directly sync my google account with the Mac address book.

Hook - can you give us the procedure for this? It'd be a great help! TIA! mike
