Thread: HTC Magic: Trouble with USB on Mac

I'm an EX iPhone user. Finally becoming fed up with my iPhone crashing, restarting on its own and taking 10+ minutes to turn back on I decided I'm done with it so a few weeks ago on eBay I ordered a used HTC Magic for Rogers(my provider). It has a broken battery cover so theres tape all over the back but that doesn't matter.

What does matter is that every time I try to connect it with the MacBook Pro it connects just fine for about 1 minute then it disconnects so I'm either JUST getting one song finished uploading on the Magic or it fails when its just about finished. I tried restarting the Mac and the Magic and nothing is working.

This is a huge problem for me because to play music was the whole reason I bought this phone because my iPhone would keep restarting while I was driving around and left me with nothing to listen to for around 10 minutes and now on this HTC Magic I cant even get songs on the thing so I'm yet to try and play them in the car still.

TIA

I put the MicroSD card into a SD card adapter and put it in the MacBook Pro and it works perfect, I put lots of music on it and it works fine now, it even starts up faster on the car stereo.

On the iPhone I would plug it in and wait, the car deck is reading and reading and reading... takes about 2 to 3 minutes before it connects and thats only if it connects, lots of times I'll wait that long then it says iPod Error. With the HTC Magic I slide down when I plug it in and click USB then I click Mount and about 5 SECONDS its working.

This phone is much faster but I'm still going to hit up apple when the iPhone 4 Comes out.
