Help..How do I update using Media synch?

Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:57:12 GMT

Since my pc blew up I am using a work macbook -my X10 has been saying new updates for ages but every time I tried to update it said it was up-to-date. I see everyone else already has Android 2.1 update so although it is the XD video I am really keen on getting! I have downloaded the Media Synch for Mac and mounted my phone -the automatic upload on the phone just says connect to a computer as new software update available. The Sony Ericsson site only gets as far as if using Safari click on 'help' in media synch BUT there is no help- the search bar doesn't load? You tube only has the Media Go option, which I previously used. Please can anyone advise how I can actually get these updates? especially the HD video -thanks in advance

You need to use PC Companion or the Update service on a PC to update the software.Media Sync will only allow you to handle media files between phone and Mac.

so if in the future I decide to invest in a mac rather than pc when I can afford to replace mine, you are saying I'm stuffed! as far as keeping my phone up-to-date in the future? this seems rather odd as the X10 is such a media savvy phone.:smileysad:

thanks for your speedy response

Yeah I agree; SE need to develop an update compatible with Mac as a lot of people have the same problem as you.
