Hello, DITTO to what Mat Rice answered. But, I have to point out something that I found out only AFTER receiving my NX70V. According to the docs, the cable MUST be hooked up directly to a usb port on the back of the computer and NOT through a hub. What???
I have a G4-450 (OS X21) and an NX70V and before I "stumbled across" The Missing Sync (v3.0.3), I was wondering if I'd be tearing all my hair out at the roots before the syncing/backing-up problem would be solved. Using Virtual PC 5.0.4, as I had been doing, was not cutting the mustard... AT ALL! Even WITH plugging the cable into the back of my G4. The Missing Sync installs a usb extension and a couple of plug-ins for iTunes and iPhoto, which I have not tried out yet. The CLI� Viewer sees JPEG's just fine, but, I installed 2 mpg's from the Sony CD to my Memory Stick, trouble is, I just can't play them, even though the NX is supposed to handle .mpg files, and something else called Movie Player files. If you "shoot a video" with the NX, TWO FILES are saved to the Stick, in different directories. Arcane names are used, but, the extensions differ. One is .mqv and the other is .mai. I have yet to find a solution for this problem. With The Missing Sync installed, my first "backup" went flawlessly! My subsequent "sync" was almost as flawless. I don't know what happened, but, after starting the 2nd "sync," the NX would not connect to my G4. I had been having some G4 slowdown problems, so, I decided to just restart the G4. After that, syncing appeared to be no longer a problem. HOWEVER, once again I find that I can't sync another time after the 2nd time after the restart. I highly recommend getting The Missing Sync from Markspace, but, I will be letting them know about the ONCE ONLY sync.
