Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
My N900 came in today and I am trying to use the Nokia Multimedia Transfer tool for the Mac to connect to it. I was able to connect my N97 and E71 using this tool but I am unable to connect the N900.
I need to connect to this tool to my N900 so I can sync my iTunes playlists etc. My Mac connects successfully to the N900 via bluetooth but the Nokia Multimedia Transfer tool will NOT find the phone (just spins and spins). I disconnect and successfully reconnect to the Mac via bluetooth but it will not connect with the Nokia Transfer tool. I connect the USB cable and select PC Suite but it still will not connect. In fact, it has forced me to reboot my Mac a couple times. Has anyone successfully connected their N900 to their Mac using this tool? I have a Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM running Snow Leopard. I wonder if it is not compatible with Snow Leopard but the download page says "Leopard". Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool for Mac: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-...nsfer/download Thanks! |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
The Nokia Multimedia Transfer application 1.4.1 for mac to is not compatible with N900. You can find that out by typing "N900" into the provided "quick search" field under the "compatibility" tab in the middle of the page you linked.

Just use mass storage mode and drop your music in. I doubt you'll be able to sync your iTunes playlists anytime soon.
EDIT: you could actually use doubletwist to sync your music. I think that'll pull your itunes playlist info, allowing you to sync it to the N900. But essentially all it does is drop the music into a folder. So while you could sync your playlist content over, the playlists themselves wouldn't be preserved on the device. You'd have to download it and try it out. The other thing with doubletwist is that it seems they force you to sign up for an account which I don't particularly like. I read that you can use it without signing up, but didn't see an obvious option to bypass the sign up. |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
You can try iTuneMyWalkman. It works with any device that can be put in mass storage mode, i.e., any device that shows up as a disk on the mac.
I have been using it with my Nokia 5800 and mac but haven't yet set it up for the N900 - I only just got that yesterday. iTuneMyWalkman: http://ilari.scheinin.fidisk.fi/itunemywalkman/ |

I like using mass storage when able to connect USB and if there is something new i want to download i just wget it to my MP3 dir.
God I love this N900! |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
you can try installing Parallels on you Mac. Once you have that, you can then install PC Suite and connect your N900. It will pick it up.

Great effort sailing! Now can some one tell me how to get my itunes moves (ripped in .m4v format) to work on the n900. |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Another vote for Salling.
It works a treat it pulls all the artwork from the artwork folder unlike doing it manually where the artwork has to be imbedded in the music file. Highly recommend it, I have just bought the paid version. :) |

Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Was wondering if anyone is having any issues with Salling Media Sync for Mac and N900?
I have posted this over at Salling's forums but wanted to ask here as well. When I sync my Music folder it always stops at 512 items. Has anyone ran into any issues with Music names, transfer limit, buffer limit? Just in case you are curious Mac 10.6.2 (64bit) Salling 1.1.5(225) paid full version (beta). Total items transfering 3757 @ 192 kbps total size 21Gb. transferring to the MyDocs partition and not an external card. |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
But how do i get use of my 16gb memory card in the Nokia Multimedia tool??

Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
There's an update to NMT 1.4.2 that adds the N900. I was able to sync with my USB with no problems. But it's not readily available -- you sorta have to find it on their site.

Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
I have a Mac, but just transfer music and video via mass storage. Drag and drop, it couldn't be easier. Is there anything Salling does that you cannot do via mass storage? My cover art syncs fine.

Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Songbird can sync with any folder (with a plugin), and you can put n900 into Mass Storage mode and sync your music that way.
It also runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. http://www.getsongbird.com/ |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Nokia Multimedia Transfer seems to work also, but not perfectly. You might need to remove the phone profile from NMT every time before the sync, but then it will sync your playlists, videos, and photos from your Mac (Snow Leopard) just fine.

I'll post here, I don't want to open a new thread.
I just bought a new SD, and configured photo app to save photos on in, instead o internal N900 memory. Now, everytime I connect to my Mac, Nokia Multimedia Transfer doesn't see my shots. Am I missing something? Obviously, on internal memory iPhoto was filled with my images. Thanks. |
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
I have been using the Sailing Media Sync app to copy over pictures and music. Works well, BUT every time I copy the music over I need to move it manually from the "Music" folder Media Sync creates to the N900s "Audio Clips" folder. Sort of annoying. Also, it will sync my iPhoto pictures or my Aperture pictures but not both sets. Anyone have these issues and have a good solution?

Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Nokia Multimedia Transfer USED to work on my N900, but it stopped. Anyone else?
|
Re: Sync N900 With Macbook using Nokia Multimedia Transfer Tool
Still working on this, and hoping someone else has a better solution than "drag over the whole iTunes folder whenever you buy one song." DoubleTwist doesn't bring all the stuff over, so I have to sync multiple times, getting more each time, and having 3 copies of every playlist.
