Hi all..
being an ex Iphone user you can imagine I am having a few problems with sync films/photos etc. I have installed a 16gb card but am still wondering the best way to install stuff. I see Kies is not supported by Mac's (typical) so any advice would be great giving a blow by blow on how to install items so they work and can be easily found. I have tried installing Kies on the wifes pc but it can't find the phone (is Kies already installed on the phone - if so where) ? If I can get things working on the wifes pc I guess I could always install boot camp on the MAC thus allowing windows to run.
Any help most welcome, thanks in advance....

Steve

I had a nightmare getting Kies to work. I nearly launched by SGS through a window, luckily I stuck with it and Kies now connects to my Phone. I would check that the Kies USB drivers are installed on your wifes PC, and that the PC is recognising that your phone is being plugged in.

I also found launching Kies fist and then plugging in my phone helped. My PC always ask me to install something called Teutonic, and when I hit yes my phone is recognised, within a few seconds.

Good luck with the install. Hopefully one of the more technically adept Forums members will be able to steer in a better direction.

BTW. What OS is on your wifes computer?

Trust me Kies does not work period - last time I checked the Galaxy S is not listed as one of the supported phones - so how we are supposed to manage the ting and patch the new OS when it becomes available I dont know.

Still congrats on not buying the latest JobsBlower.
