Do you own a LG Dare and a MacBook with iTunes? How do you send files across?

There is a menu to change different files (photos, music, etc.) from phone memory to card memory. I think it’s called memory on my LG Voyager. Then you can push them via Bluetooth or USB cable to your micro SD card. Does the Dare support iTunes or mp3? You might need the software which searches your computer for music and loads it to a dedicated program.

Bluetooth transfer?

Thanks for the responses above.

Okay, I’m answering my own question for posterity. This is for OS X 10.4 and the LG Dare with a formatted micro sd. (Format the card using the Dare Tools and Settings menu.)

1. Plug the phone into the computer via USB.

2. On the phone, go to Settings and Tools, select Tools and then USB Mass Storage.

3. The phone will show up as a mounted drive in the Finder. (Default is “NO NAME.” Change rename to a single word name, e.g. “Dare.”)

4. Drag and drop .m4a (or .mp3) music files via the Finder not iTunes into the “my_music” folder on the USB card. Also, don’t drag album folders, just the music tracks. DRM protected files .m4p won’t play.

5. Open TextEdit.

6. Paste the following Terminal command into TextEdit: “find /Volumes/Volumenamehere -name ”._*” -print0 | xargs -0 rm” (no quotes).

7. Change “Volumenamehere” to the name of the USB card.

8. Copy the edited Terminal command.

9. Open Terminal.

10. Paste and run command. This will delete the duplicate ”._*” files that OS X keeps hidden but that show up as duplicate tracks on the Dare.

11. .Eject the phone from the Finder.

12. Press “Exit” on the phone to Exit USB mass storage mode.

12a. (Power phone off and on again—seems to help with lock ups).

13. Open music player and wait for phone to initialize new tunes.

Note: The terminal command didn’t seem to catch all of those hidden files, so I’ll look that up again and see if there’s another version of that command that works better.

Also, looks like a freeware utility called KopyMac for 10.4 will copy files over without bringing the ”._*” files.

I’d go with Bluetooth.

That was way too complicated.

Yeah. KopyMac takes care of the middle steps, so now it’s a breeze. I just haven’t dealt with non-Mac stuff in awhile.

Bluetooth is too slow for multiple files.
