    I don't see how the M11X could have any effect on this, isn't it just a USB device and Itunes? It is not like some specialized hardware is needed, if it works on ANY installation of Win 7 X64 it should work on the m11X, unless I am missing something huge.

    Its because its an alienware, and Macs hate alienware.

    I've had some problems with my cousins Alienware m11x and my 3g iPhone as well.

    I can't see why it wouldn't work. USB is a standard, iTunes is the same and there is nothing special about the install of Windows 7 really.

    It has nothing to do with "Mac hates Alienware..." or vice-versa..

    It's actually by design, because both are closed, proprietary devices/systems.

    Depending on your viewpoint - one is MUCH more closed and controlling than another.. :)

    One man's problem is another man's design... you can thank Steve/AT&T for that "problem".. :)

    To do what you're attempting is "possible" - but only via hacking the phone OS (which discussion isn't allowed here).

    Other phones can easily do what you're looking for without issue. Kinda makes you sad doesn't it? :cool:

    It was a joke. I though something that outrageous would be obvious.

    I was able to sync my iPhone 4 to the M11xR2 without any problems last week.. Seems to work fine. Is someone having a problem or is this just curiosity?
