There are a number of Android utilities that will backup the phone to internal storage (they actually run on the phone itself). If your phone has a microSD slot, then it simply appears as USB Mass Storage to the Power Mac, and you can copy anything on the card in that slot (including any backups you have made) directly to the Mac. If the phone does not have microSD, like the Galaxy Nexus, you have to use MTP which is a little trickier, but should still work. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- Kind of dangerous, but what fun is a safe shredder? -- Mike McFadden ------- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
