(2012-07-11) Copying File To Sons Protected Phone

Number One Son has an old MyTouch Android phone. It has adult supervision functions turned on.

I'm trying to move files (some public-domain music and EBook-s) to it. Can't figure out how. Yet, since he has an EBook on it from me already, I must have succeeded some time in the past.

  • alternative possibility: downloaded that one from source site via browser, rather than getting from me.

USB cable - his drive doesn't come up.

Blue Tooth - can pair to my MacBook Pro, but doing Send File from there gets no acceptance from MyTouch. Likewise can't Browse Device - "there was an error".

Email GMail attachment. Gets "Preview" button next to attachment but no Download.

Update: I don't think I got the notification-bar bit for mounting the USB-connected-computer, but it's possible I missed it, so will try cable again later.

  • nope, no alert is there at all

Resorted to solving immediate "need" by downloading book from source site. No solution to general problem in hand...
