Macbook/M6 SL problems

Hi. I just got my Meizu M6 SL, and stupidly I just assumed it would work with my Macbbok when I ordered it. However, now I've got some problems.

When I connect my Meizu, turned on, to the USBport it simply wont connect to the computer. The turning arrows appear on the Meizu screen but the computer doesn't seem to realize it's connected, and no icon appears on the computer screen, making it impossible to transfer files.

I've read on this forum than other people have this problem as well, but also that some Macbook users seem to have no problems with their Meizu. Does anyone know why this is, and what to do about it? I use OS 10.5.4, could that be the problem? Because I tried connecting the Meizu to my mothers iMac with OS 10.4.11 and that worked. But I would really like to use my Meizu with the Macbook so I'm thankfull for any help!

/Lisa

Welcome to the forum Lisa. Have you considered Dual-Booting XP on your Mac? It works pretty well if you have XP on your Mac. If not, search around the forum. I believe there is a program for Macs to be able to connect to Meizu's. Are you sure your Meizu is set to MSC mode?

It connected to the other computer, but the option may have been changed while tinkering in the options. It should just be recognized as a flash drive which you can copy your mp3's to.

Or Apple might have decided to drop support for Apple iPod "Knockoffs".

Is there some sort of compatibility function on MACs? I know there are compatibility functions for Windows, say if you are running DOS game, you can run in 98 Compatibility mode. Maybe there is something like that to make your OSX 5.3 work in compatibility mode with 5.2. Or have you considered rinning Windows XP on your MAC? They say XP works better on MACs then it does on PCs.
