[Q] How to transfer music from mac to HD7

I am trying to use WP connector for mac but its seems to be working oneway from Phone to Mac.
I wonder if anyone knows how can i use it to sync music and photos from mac to phone ?

The following help file from Microsoft contains directions on how to do this:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=203366&clcid=0x409 (PDF)

all you have to do is buy a pc

I did it earlier. I started up the Windows Phone 7 connector and it told me to connect my phone and I did. From there it works almost exactly like iTunes. It will sync any of the playlists you made in iTunes to the phone. Of course if you have no playlists in iTunes... then it might not work.

Well i do have the playlists and it is not even syncing photos as well.

I want to know if there is a way that I can tranfer all my files from a MAC to my phone. I used to plug my HD2 in and it would pop right up like a folder on my desktop. WinPho7 wont do that. I can not download anythign on my work computer, and I use the phone's storage every single day. All I have on my work comp is iTunes and it doens't show up like the iPhone would. This is very disappointing...

Vikramdhani, it won't sync photos if you don't have iPhoto 9 or above. I don't have it and mine won't sync either. So you have to update your iPhoto or wait until Microsoft releases an updated version of the Windows Phone 7 connector (which I'm not even sure will fix the problem, I'm just assuming they'd make it compatible with older versions of iPhoto.)
Jeimygirl, it doesn't work like the HD2. You won't see it on your desktop on your Mac. It works kind of like the iPhone/iPod. It will only show up in the Windows Phone 7 connector program. It works similar to iTunes but it doesn't show up in iTunes. You have to use the Windows Phone 7 connector program in order to sync anything to the phone. Unless someone figures out and releases a workaround.

Thanks. i knew this is how it worked I had an iPhone before, and I can't download anything on the MAC, so I'm pretty SOL. It was my biggest drawback to upgrading to the HD7. Second would be multitasking. But I figured the rest was worth it. i was tired of soft resetting my HD2 2-3 times daily. I'm just hoping the developers come out with an app that can turn the phone into a mass media storage like the HD2 or G1. I used those as my "iPod" in my car thought my stereo too.
Not sure if that's even possible on the HD7 but I would GLADLY pay for this app, and that says a lot for me as I normally never buy apps.

i have to salute u man... as i thought Microsoft was making the iOS connector just to poke fun at apple....
so there are people in this world who use Mac and Windows phone.....
sorry mate but could not help....
the only apple i use is my ipods...

I hope you know that it is not a IOS connector but Mac OS connector seems like it was a hardware or software issue on the phone i had, guess what i returned it back to TMobile

I got the connector working no problem but of course it took forever to drop a couple thousand tracks the first time. My problem is it seems to try and update all 2k tracks when I plug it in attempting to snag a couple of new albums. Is there anyway to make it only capture the new albums and not try and run the stupid slow update all sequence?
Driving me nuts I had it running for almost 45 minutes and it was only 75% complete...FOR 2 fraggin albums I wanted to add...Man I honestly really like the new OS and phone but Microsoft didn't do themselves any favors with this dumb sync system. Let me drag and drop what I want, KISS!!!
(or I am doing it wrong and I am not very bright...which I KNOW is the case more often then not! )

Alternative to USB storage: wifi storage from your phone

In case you don't know and if storage is an issue for you, you can use USB storage devices like flash drive, SD card reader, etc. by using an microUSB OTG cable, root your phone, and install Stickmount as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736825
However, I was also looking into alternative methods to increase indirectly increase storage capacity like things like videos and media. Media including videos and music, I believe is the number one reason why people want to increase their storage, so we will concentrate on that. My example scenario will be wanting to watch a movie on a plane (in which there is no wifi internet available).
There are wifi hard drives like Kingston wi-drive and Seagate GoFlex Satellite wifi drives that would work (haven't tested myself), but those arent' cheap. CloudFTP is similar but is still expensive. I would like to see a similar device without any onboard memory, but at a cheaper price, basically something like CloudFTP but at around $50-60. If anybody knows of one, that would be great!!
Then I thought about why not use the hardware you already have and carry with you at all times, your phone? It has wifi and it has expandable memory (most do at least). It would be great if an app can allow you create a wifi network (ad hoc network?) that Nexus 7 connect to and can then share the storage on your phone.
Well, I couldn't find one that does all of that in one step, but I did manage to get it to work with a few steps based on this reply by mrfahrenheit94 (THANKS!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28818320#post28818320
Basically:
1. Wifi tether your Nexus 7 to your phone (ie Wireless Tether for rooted phone).
2. Run Es File Explorer on your phone (latest version I am using version 1.6.1.6 from Play market, just make sure it supports remote FTP server). Go to Settings, then Remote Settings (Under Network Settings). Check Remote Manage. It will display an ftp address.
2. Run ES File Explorer on Nexus 7. On the upper left hand corner, press the button that probably says Local by default and has a small down arrow. Select FTP. Now press "New" and then select FTP again to add FTP server, Under Server, enter the FTP address that was displayed at the end on step 2 on your phone (do not enter the "ftp://" part, just the numbers after it), but only enter the adress before the colon. Under port enter the number after the colon. Then check the anonymous box. Press OK and now you should have that FTP address as an icon. Select it and you should now see your phone's files and folders. Now you should be able to navigate to your video or media files and select it to play using an external media player. I suggest using Dice Player (free with Ad version). VLC Beta may work as well but I seem to have more luck with Dice Player.
Main drawback will be battery life especially on the phone!!!!
Thus I tried to do this with bluetooth by using Foxfi to tether. At home it worked and I was able to stream a video although very slight stutter at times. However, i realize that Foxfi only worked when my phone has an internet connection (which is not true when on an airplane).
THUS, IF YOU ARE GOING TO TEST THIS, TURN OFF YOUR CELLULAR DATA CONNECTION TO TEST IF IT WILL WORK WHEN YOU HAVE NO INTERNET LIKE ON A PLANE.
It does for the Wireless Tether app on Play market even without internet.
What I would like to know and for us to discuss:
1. Any other alternative methods for using wifi storage?
2. Any app that is similar to Foxfi that can Bluetooth tether but doesn't require an internet connection?
3. Any app that can just create a network connection between the two android devices without actual tether feature?
4. A IOS app similar to ES File Explorer to navigate ftp server. Maybe set it up in XBMC?
5. Any interest in a developer creating a one step app that connects and share two devices via wifi and/or bluetooth without any tethering (and thus would work for nonrooted phones)?
One thing I envisioned was one a plane I bring nexus 7 for the kids and my asus TF300 for myself. I would love it if I can share the videos from the TF300 which has a larger capapcity and bigger battery than my phone to the Nexus 7, but I couldn't get Wireless Tether to work on the Asus Tf300 (probably because it is not a phone). Hence, the request for #3 above.
I apologize if this is common knowledge and a waste of time for many of you.

my RAZR can tether and it has 8+16Gb of storage. and it also has 6Gb/month data connection.
oh yes, im planning on tether-connect it with the Nexus.... alot.... for videos and data.

It's good to have alternative methods like this, as a lot of people will certainly use it. Since my phone is in pretty poor shape all around, I doubt I'll utilize it anymore than I have to until I get an upgrade. Personally I'm going to go the USB OTG route with StickMount for long rides/traveling/etc, basically in situations where I might actually find myself watching a few movies back to back to burn up the travel time. I can't see in regular day to day operation needing that functionality, but at least it's there for the rare occasion where I might benefit from it. :good:

You could use bubble pnp to share files from your phone when connected to a LAN. For direct access I know there is a app that allows you to share your storage thru samba. It was just reviewed on android police, I'll try to find the link.

Connection Speed
I'm only getting like 100KB/s download speed by using this method. Way to slow for streaming video. Even with a 8MB buffer size. Is this a similar speed to what you guys are getting? I'm tethering with FoxiFi from my EVO 4G LTE. My phone is rooted, but for some reason, this is the only tethering method/app that has worked for me. Any suggestions?

The name of the app is SyncMe wireless. It turns your phone into a samba share(or cifs share).

I found a way to connect the TF300 with the Nexus 7 just for the sake of sharing the storage of the TF300. Thanks to another thread on xda, i discovered Wifi Direct works great, and is plenty fast. I think Wifi Direct is only found in some versions of ICS. Took me a while to figure out how to turn it on since it is different for each tablet. On Nexus 7, it is in the settings button in the upper right hand corner when you are in Wi-Fi- settings.
On TF300, I think it is in the "more" section or "advanced" section under Network subsection.
Will give SyncMe a try.
Does it also create its own ad hoc network, or do you still have to connect via wifi somehow?

I just ordered my N7 and was just wondering exactly which app you are using on the N7 to actually find the files on your TF300 to stream. I have a Galaxy S3 that I know can share files with WI-FI direct. I just need to know what to get on the N7 you be able to see the files.
Thanks!

I am reviving this thread because I was interested in a method of streaming multimedia from my s3 to the N7.
Using 3G is not possible because in Argentina the speed of networks are pure SH*T, and the method of ES FIle Explorer did not work for me.
BUT I found a way in other forum (androidcentral, thanks to rubrnek), and basically these are the steps:
1) on the phone install Twonky Mobile
2) on the N7 install aVia media player
3) turn on wifi hitspot on the phone and connect the N7 to it
4) set up twonky library on the phone
5) open aVia media player on the N7 and select Twonky Mobile as the source
6) Navigate the files and play!
I was amazed on how fast it works, I did not tried a 720p or 1080p movie, since it is an overkill in my opinion (mostly a 1080p movie on a phone or tablet), I just tried photos and an DVDRIP AVI of Bill&Ted movie and it plays like it was a local file, the best part is that open the file with Dice player, not some rare player.
Now I have an 88gb Nexus 7

Does this method also allow us to transfer files from phone to the tablet? I do not have the device yet, but will be getting it soon and one thing that bothered me was the lack of USB Mass Storage option when connecting to a PC. I prefer transferring files directly rather than MTP. Do apps like AirDroid work?

OMG! Thanks so much for this ultra simple phone to tablet "local wifi ftp connection" method. Most important we need is just a wifi tether/ hotspot phone or tab, which 99% of android do, i believe. I've tried to connect all my SGS1, SGS2, SGtab7.7, HP Touchpad (TP, no usg otg) n they all connect flawlessly. IMO, this method is even more versatile than "Wifi Direct" comes with Samsung devices, which feels a tad faster. Why bother w installing other apps, when u can get done w 1 great free app, ESbrowser.
To my surprise, i also learned that wifi tethering function actually works with mobile data disconnect, through this.
Triple thks for your tutorial, excellent work. High Five!

Got this to work with esfile explorer between my N7 & SG3. One question though.
When I browse the files on my SG3, I can't see the files on my external sd card, only the ones on the internal memory. Anyone have any ideas on how to access the external card?

[A] Wirelessly syncing music to external SD Card

Just thought I might share this, in case anyone else was running into these problems.
I was always syncing my music to my Android phone using Salling Media Sync over USB, which worked OK. For that to work, the phone memory needed to be recognized as a Mass Storage device. Obviously, this didn't work anymore with the Razr I, since it uses the MTP protocol.
Since I am on OS X, I even needed to install the Google Android MTP driver, which really caused quite a few problems, didn't solve my problem regarding Mass Storage, and really is nothing like an elegant solution.
I tried various syncing apps from the market (wireless sync was not a must, but nice to have - especially considering the fact that I needed to purchase an App in most cases for full functionality). Apps I tried were for example Winamp Pro, Doubletwist, TuneSync and a few others that I don't remember right now.
When using the wireless sync feature however, these Apps had a serious flaw (that's being discussed in the respective manufacturer forums quite extensively, without there being a solution that): to my surprise, none of them would sync to my external SD card, they all synced to the internal storage - and there was no option to specify the storage (or folder) to sync to, even though this should be a really easy thing to do for a developer.
Long story short: the App that offers exactly this functionality and works flawlessly with iTunes and its playlists is iSyncr. You can even select where to sync every single playlist, so you could even distribute your music between the internal and external storage.
As a bonus, recognizing all the playlists and songs on the phone worked flawlessly - with other solutions (like Winamp and Salling) I would always have dead duplicates of playlists and songs that didn't work, sometimes not even any of the entries would work.
So just in case anybody is struggling with the same issue: iSyncr works. Of course it's not perfect, but I think it offers everything I wanted for now.
Best regards,
Hendrik

+1 to all of the above. isyncr is a fantastic product. i also tried doubletwist but it was a major cpu hogger on my laptop :silly:

Unfortunately, I need to add one downside for me when using iSyncr with OS X: when iSyncr is running (which is all the time, if you have it set up to auto start on login), my mouse pointer hangs when I plug in USB sticks and the likes. Spent quite some time trying to figure out why that suddenly happened...
Oh well, I just removed it from auto start and will just start it when I need it. Hope this gets fixed.

i do that anyway. no need to have it running all the time....unless you are syncing everyday?

Did they break the functionality of the original post? Eg wifi synch to SD card. iSyncr used to do it (http://blog.jrtstudio.com/2011/04/multi-drive-sync-isyncr-140.html) but now the settings are gone.
EDIT: I found it. It is now under Settings -> Wifi POLICIES - Default Storage

[Q] Wireless PC connection, or something?

What I'm really looking for, essentially, is some sort of a connection between my Nexus 7 and my PC, wirelessly, so I can stream / use files on my Nexus 7 while I'm in bed etc.
I have not the slightest clue what it is, and hence I couldn't do a search for it, because I don't even know the 'keyword' for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Try Plex: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexapp.android&hl=en

You can use ES File Explorer to stream one file at a time, so it would work for video, but not so well for music. I thought I would throw this out there because you did not mention what type of media you wanted to stream.

I use ES Explorer. Swipe left to access the wireless networks. I have a hard drive plugged into my router so that I can stream films to mx player without any pc needing to be powered up.

If you do have TV and Movies organized on a network accessible drive, then Plex is amazing. Had a good organization of my files on a PC I have always on. Installed Plex Media Server on the PC, and the Plex app on my Nexus 7, and it pulls up episode descriptions and everything.
I am very impressed.

if your Nexus 7 and pc connected to a router then use bsplayer setting up for LAN then you can use your N7 to play any audio/video from your pc.

XBMC
I've gotta recommend XBMC. It let's you stream all your media, from videos to pictures. It also presents it in a beautiful way too. Plex's underlying code is actually XBMC.

Z1 Throw via WiFi problem.

Hi guys,
I have a some problems with Throw function in my Z1. Firstly I want to sorry for my poor english. I wish you can understand me.
I have a PC and VAIO laptop, and Throw via WiFi doesnt work. If I enable Bluetooth it works correctly, but you know, range of BT is terrible, so I want stream music via WiFi.
If I use PC Companion, wireless connect work perfectly, I can copy files, and update my phone, but when I use Throw, and select PC or laptop via WiFi it loading for while and finally nothing happens. Even sound timer always display "00:00". When I click Play button, it's again the same - loading and nothing.
In Windows Media Player I turn on Stream->Allow remote devices to control my computer , and in further options "Allow all" in sharing streams.
I fight with that since 3 hours, and I give up... Anyone any idea ?

I have no idea what you're trying to do but :
Throw means throwing informations with your phone not sharing or taking control of another media.
With my Z1 i can throw music or photos to my TV for exemple (that simply sends and plays the music on my TV).
What do you want to do exactly?

Hey there, guys.
I'm facing this problem too. For some reason "Throw" stopped working or works when it wants.
Long story short, i have .757 NUT's, Rooted, LB and Xposed installed with not else than Super User Mod.
When i try to use Throw, i can't find my Samsung Smart TV (In the past it was able to); funny thing is that i cant use Throw for watch videos on my PC using XBMC, but XBMC can access to my content vía uPnP and can reproduce the videos, phoos, etc. I use skifta which does "the same" than Throw and it works perfecly, it can find my TV and can reproduce the videos, but i can't understand why my naive APP which use DLNA wont work.
Any fix or workaround?
