That worked in 10.2 already. I've been using that for over a year!

This works fine in Jaguar as well. I used it quite often before upgrading to Panther.

I just changed the hint, thanks! Not having a Bluetooth phone, I wasn't able to test it under Jag or Panther :).

-rob.

HELP - I have just bought powerbook 15" and have T630 phone.


I have connected the two via bluetooth. When the phone rings a message is displayed on screen but can't answer or reject the call -

Also I can write an SMS and click send but it doesn't send - do I need to tweak any settings?

---

who are you when you are who you are?

Also, there's no need for the control-click (or right mouse button). The left (or only) button defaults to various action for numbers and address items (like changing the address format to a different country)

It's a nice feature indeed. However, with my T68i, it wrecks many non-English characters like German umlauts. Anybody know a workaround?

It disappoints me that Address Book is inable to log outgoing SMS's like it can with incoming, and no support for long SMS's either!

The ability to SMS only appears when one has connected one's phone and I suspect I'm getting charged $.10 a SMS. Why doesn't address book sms through the web (it's free)?

thanks

I've pulled down every menu in addressbook and clicked on everything in the app. Where is this bluetooth thingie?

this bluetooth thingy only appears when you have paired your bluetooth phone with your computer . It is a button up the top of address book next to "view card only".

Didn't work for me.

OSX 10.2.8
D-Link BT120
Sony Ericsson P800

Am doing something wrong? Can anyone else with this set up please verify?

Hmmm. Didn't work for me either:

- Sony Ericsson P800
- 12.1" PB with integrated Bluetooth

I can iSync etc over BT to the phone - but the SMS entry is greyed out whenever I click on a mobile number in Address Book

Any ideas welcome.

Still doesn't work with my P800. I think it's the phone as it does work with a T610.

When you paired your phone did you select the "Use with Address Book" option (that's what it's called on 10.3 anyway)?
