On my iMac I typically have to connect the USB cable, mount the phone by selecting the Mount option in the phone's notification bar, then unmount it, then mount it again.

Ok thanks (1 more thing) please

OK I got my daughters movies transferred to the phone and they play. The problem is when I go to gallery it shows thumbnails for the camera but not the videos. It only has a black window with the play symbol in the middle so I dont know which videos they are till I play them. Anyway way of naming the icons? Know what I mean?

if you use the stock video player they show the file name there

did you get it to work via the USB? i tested it to connect via USB w/ Mass Storage mode w/o drivers or any extra and it worked for me....

I have the same problem with my fascination- won't work on blue tooth or plugged into my imac. I pulled down the notification bar from the main screen and don't see an option to mount/mount button. What next please?

You may need to have set "USB debugging" to on.
Go to "settings" then "applications", and then "development" and it's there.

I have to have it on to have my MacBook see it when I connect it and choose "mount" from the notification bar.

I'm a mac user running 10.4.11, and after the verizon update last week, my fascinate wouldn't mount as a data device. Here's what worked (from another forum):

1. plug phone into mac (debugging off)
2. choose "mount" from phone's drop-down usb menu
3. select "ignore" when mac says it can't recognize disc
4. in terminal, type:

gpt show /dev/disk1

5. hit enter, says it can't find drive
6. turn off usb storage from phone's drop-down
7. again, choose "mount" from phone's drop-down usb menu
8. in terminal, type (again):

gpt show /dev/disk1

9. Hit enter, and it found the drive, same as before. Probably a few too many steps, but it worked for me, so take it or leave it.
