If you just want the solution...

After looking for drivers, doing various experiments, and getting feedback from others with the same problem, I just hunted for any and all settings having to do with USB and one finally worked. It may not be perfect, but this seems to help.

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Development on your phone's main menu.

Turn on USB debugging ("Debug mode when USB is connected"). It will recognize that a USB connection now exists.

A widget will pop up on your Mac saying it's recognized a network device and will want to install the phone as a modem. Don't worry about it. It's a red herring. I never configured that, never connected that.

Go into "Notifications" from the phone's main menu and you'll see a notification under "Ongoing" that says "USB Connected (select to copy files to/from your computer)". Touch it.

You'll get a dialogue with the title "USB Connected" and the text "You have connected your phone to your computer via USB. Select 'Mount' if you want to copy files between your computer and your phone's SD card." It offers options of "Mount" and "Don't Mount". Touch "Mount".

A removeable drive will appear in Finder called "No Name". That's your Micro SD card and you can begin copying files. You'll need to unmount the card for applications on the phone to have access to it. I created a folder called "Music" in the DCIM folder, put a couple of MP3s in there and I'm listening to them now.

Don't know if this will work with Snow Leopard's built-in sync program or third party sync programs, but I'm happily able to move media back and forth which is HUGE for me.

UPDATE WITH SOME IMAGES

This is what the "main menu" looks like. When you're on the home screen and press your menu button/key, you'll get these options... Add, Wallpaper, Search, Notifications, Settings.

If you have a blog, you may find that you see "pingbacks" coming from sites that are reposting your content and then linking back to you. If these sites are running Google AdSense ads, there are a couple of ways to fight back.

Under one of their Google ad blocks, click on "Ads By Google". That will take you to a page with information about Google's advertising services. At the bottom of that page, you'll see a link with the words: "Send Google your thoughts on the site or the ads you just saw". Click it.

It asks two questions about how relevant the ads were and how useful the site was, then has another link: "Also report a violation?" When you select that the issues were with the web site, they offer you a few bad things the site might be doing. Now "The site is hosting/distributing my copyrighted content" might seem to be the way to go. But if you check that, Google will send you instructions on how to snail mail or fax a DMCA violation notice (they will not accept e-mailed ones). It's a lot of work.

What may be more effective is to select "The site violates AdSense policies in other ways" which gives you a small text box in which to describe the violation. If you click the "AdSense policies" link, you'll go to their policies page. About halfway down that page, they state: "AdSense publishers are required to adhere to the webmaster quality guidelines posted at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html."

Near the bottom of the quality guidelines page, they state: "Avoid 'doorway' pages created just for search engines, or other 'cookie cutter' approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content." And when you follow that "little or no original content" link, you find a page stating...

Google will take action against domains that try to rank more highly by just showing scraped or other auto-generated pages that don't add any value to users.

I just report the violation as "Violates Webmaster Quality Guidelines by using scraped content and provides little or no original content."

It's a lot faster than the many hoops they make you jump through for a copyright violation notice and I know Google takes complaints seriously as I got busted once for a content-related policy violation on another now-defunct site.

If you have the time and desire to fax over a copyright violation notice, don't bother reporting it through the feedback mechanism as they'll just send you the instructions you can find here on their AdSense & the DMCA page. But if you're planning to go this route, make yourself a boilerplate notice and put them on speed dial, because you could be filing a lot of DMCA notices.

Another way is to check the splog's WhoIs information for their domain. This is contact information and some technical information related to their domain (Yahoo's "domain" is yahoo.com). ICANN rules state that providing false or materially incomplete contact information can be grounds for having your domain registration suspended or even cancelled. So if they're giving obviously false contact information (like a 555 phone number), submit an ICANN complaint. A friend of mine had some issues with WhoIs data problems and it temporarily shut down his business.

So if you're fed up with spammers filling their bogus blogs with your content, hopefully these hints will help you toss a little cherry bomb in their trash can. Good luck and God Bless.

Apologies if this shows up in the feed.
