360 PocketBook 360 compatibility with Mac

[ischeriad]

I have extended the script to allow unmounting of the reader and memory card(s) together.

(*

set ListOfVolumeNames to {"STORY", "STORY SD"}

tell application "Finder"
	repeat with VolumeName in ListOfVolumeNames
		if (exists the disk VolumeName) then
			set MountPoint to do shell script "diskutil info '" & VolumeName & "' | sed -n 's/.*Mount Point[^/]*//p'"
			do shell script "dot_clean -n '" & MountPoint & "' && diskutil unmount '" & MountPoint & "'"
		end if
	end repeat
end tell

Has anyone been able to mount the Pocketbook 360 on an Apple Powerbook G4?
The company is working on a fix via firmware, but I'm hoping there's a way right now.
Anyone?

Thanks

Which OS X version ?

I think you have just only the way to plug an pray..

I just got a Pocketbook 360 and it is NOT recognized by my Powerbook G4 with Tiger (OSX 10.4.11). The company told me they're working on a fix.

Has anyone been able to make it work on a Powerbook G4 with Tiger?

We will insist that this problem be solved as soon as possible.

Perhaps the Pocketbook developers could look at the Cybook Opus firmware. I read that their firmware fixed this issue.

All that's needed is to upgrade the system software to OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

I just did it and it worked. I got a folder on my computer called Pocket101.

The problem is no more. I finally mounted my 360 on a Powerbook G4 !

All that's needed is to upgrade the system software to OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

A folder appeared on my computer called Pocket101.

Updating the OS is not a solution. This is like a ostrich, where put their head in sand.

I wrote Pocketbook asking them to fix it for older systems too.
Please write them yourself, so they know it's not just me.

Thanks

I'm glad I found this thread, even if it is too late.

I just got my new PB360 yesterday and it won't mount on my mac running OSX 10.4.11. Before I bought it I specifically asked on this forum which would be the best ereader for my mac with that operating system and I was told to get the PB360 is would work fine. But now it doesn't!!!! Why should I have to change my operating system to make these things work?!

Ggggrrrrr!!!

So now I have to put the books on a card with my card reader do I? This is not how I thought this would work. How do I arrange them that way? I wanted to do it all through calibre but that's not going to pick up the card is it?!

Help please!!!

Hi, so let's get this on the road: What firmware is installed on your 360? What kind of processor on your Mac?
