| I've received a great deal of feedback on this since originally posting
here and on Mobiledia and HowardForums, and I've come to the conclusion
that the base problem lies with LG, and is compounded by Verizon not
bothering to acknowledge the Mac market in training it's tech support.
First of all, since I used a Samsung a960 for a year with no file
duplication problems, using the same iBook and same version of OSX,
there is obviously a way for manufacturers to overcome this problem; LG
chose not to do so.
Secondly, the LG rep I spoke with obviously did not even know what her
own company's phones can do, since she swore the 8500 would not sync
with the macOS and the 8500 would not play mp3s - both completely wrong.
I have also received a lot of informative fedback on using BitPim and
Terminal. I was finally able to get BitPim to work via Bluetooth with my
iBook but while I can delete the "._" files on the desktop, when I
send the data to my phone the dup files are still there. I am now
working on learning to delete these files with Terminal (folks at
HowardForums have posted instructions, if I can get it to work I'lll
post here again).
