I just bought an LG chocolate touch… amazing phone, but cannot find a way to sync it to my macbook. USB plugin will only charge the phone, but will not show connection in iTunes. Is there a way to take my music off iTunes and put it on my phone via bluetooth? I am completely illiterate with all this so bear with me!

I just bought a LG Dare and I am running OSX 10.5.8. When I turn on BITPIM it cannot find my phone. I get the error message”

“A Bluetooth serial failure has occurred. Failed to open an RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled on your device.”

I have tried reconnecting my device multiple times and it still doesn’t work.
I am pretty sure I am doing things the right way. Maybe you can help me.

I’m on a Mac OSX – Leopard 10.5.8. I have an LG Vu CU920 (LGX8700) that can accept files through Bluetooth from my laptop totally fine.

My problem is that Bitpim cannot find my phone. I’ve tried to set up the BT DIAG serial port, but BT DIAG isn’t an option under my “Edit Serial Ports” preferences; I’m allowed LG Sync SPP, LGE OPP Server, LGE FTP Server, LGE BPP Sender, and LG Voice Gateway. No BT DIAG service option in sight.

Why does my computer not have a BT DIAG option? How can I add one?

Buy a micro sd card and dump all your music on there, in the music folder. quick, easy and painless.

I have just installed bitpim on my g4 mac and would like to use it to add music to my LG dare so that I can have my album art and other ID3 tags with the music. However, if I try to add music it always has me convert the mp3 like I would for a ringtone. Since I have alot of music I do not want to do this for each song. How can I get around this?

I just installed BitPim 1.0.6.i386. It runs and and recognizes my LG VX8300. I followed the original instructions and turned on Bluetooth Sharing (running Leopard 10.5).

It won’t import my phonebook, however. BitPim says it’s busy, but nothing happens (it won’t allow me to shut it down either).

Are there any settings I might have missed?

Thanks!

Having toughest time. Just got a mac. bitpim was fine on MS.

Tried checking on bluetooth in sharing in addition to the other instructions but no go.

Now get the following message:

Device needs attention – LG VX8350 on /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Snyc
The phone is not responding while transitioning mode from none to brew.

Help?

I am not sure how often this is checked….but i am having an issue with BitPim.
I did import my contacts to BitPim with no problems. Now I cannot seem to export them. I have tried every vCard option too.
I get the same error:
BitPim version: 1.0.6.i386-Test
An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “importexport.pyo”, line 2281, in OnOk
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u’bitpim.vcf’

I have no clue how to fix it to it work properly. Hopefully someone can help me
