In typical Android 1.6 fashion, moving pictures and music files requires several steps. These directions walk through how to transfer these media files with USB between OS X and the SE Xperia x10.

1. Connect the x10 to the apple computer with your USB cable.
2. Touch the top of the x10 screen and drag down.

3. Select the USB Connected button

click the usb connected button on the x10

4. Click the Mount button when the dialog box appears

5. The phone’s media card should be mounted as a drive by OS X. Click on the drive to open it in Finder.

6. Move/Copy any music files that are not copyprotected into the music folder.

7. Likewise, you can drag any photos that you want out of the DCIM -> 100ANDRO folder. You can also drag files into the folder if you want to move photos on to your device as well.

    There is a program made for mac if you want to sync it with your itunes. Its called media sync. Here is a link for it: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/mediasync/w995?cc=gb&lc=en
    The thing is that you have to install it and open the program. When you have done so you will have to mount your phone just like its described here. After that you are able to sync your itunes with your phone. There is also another isync program for the SE phone. Here is a link for that: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/sonyericssonisync/c905?lc=da&cc=dk
    This makes you able to sync your contacts and and upcoming events, and so on. Hope this helps !

    That program is NOT for the X10. No such program for the X10 exists at present.

    Hi

    When I pull down the x10, I don’t get the option to connect via USB, I just get the carrier and the notifications thing.

    Anyone have any experience and help with this?

    when you connect the phone it takes about 2-3 mins before the screen pops up for mounting… just connect and wait !!
