First, I am an pure Android user. I have never owned an MAC, so I can't comment on everything.
Since both use iCal, some kind of sync should be possible. But I wouldn't recommend that.
IMAP is no problem and you lose nothing. IMAP is supported by Android's mail client and K-9.
You don't need GMail for contact sync. I would recommend using Google contacts.

tested on mac osx snow leopard:
with your device unplugged go to settings->developer options disable usb debugging;
Go to Settings, in wireless and network section, go to "more"->usb utilities Tap on "Connect storage to PC". Plug in your device to your mac and the tap on "Turn on USB storage" and OK. You should see your device just like an USB pen.

Have you considered running Android directly from the SD card? It runs great (just don't go cheap on the SD card), is surprisingly easy to set up (the hardest part for me was being patient for the Nook to finish its initial charging), and if you have any problems or change your mind, you just pop out the card and it's a bog-standard Nook again.

It's not recommended to even attempt to do syncing Windows. Android have a very different design than, say, an iPhone; Android is designed to sync over the air with cloud services like Google Contact, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc. In Android, you shouldn't need to tie your device with a computer. What you need is a Wifi or 3G connection, and you don't need to ...

Astro File Manager has an SMB module that appears to work for browsing the filesystem via Samba. I haven't found any AFP or Bluetooth modules (yet); for the latter, Android likes Bluetooth OBEX-FTP but the only server implementation I could find for OSX is ancient and bitrotted. Android doesn't appear to have any way to do the kind of OBEX stuff OSX wants ...

As eldarerathis mentioned, you need to charge the tablet using the charging adapter rather than USB.
The A500 has 2 USB ports. A regular one, like you'd find on a laptop, for connecting USB devices to the tablet (memory sticks, for example), and a Micro USB port for connecting the tablet to a computer. Make sure you're using the Micro USB port.
(Your ...

I searched for that one click root tool and found a post in XDA's Amaze 4G forum that has a Mac version. I would expect it to be the same as for the ZTE Score, you can try it out anyways: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310115

It sounds to me like you want to keep a rooted version of the nook OS (which will have to be rebooted to run non-BN apps) (quoted from the cyanogenmod wiki)
Prior to rooting the Barnes & Noble Nook Color, it is recommend you register it with the Barnes & Noble.
Setting up uNooter
In order to properly flash an uNooter image to a SD card, you will ...

It is possible to set up dual boot for the nook color. Booting normally will boot into say cyanogen, pressing volume down during boot will boot into the nook stock rom.

You can't ssh from your phone to your Mac when using mobile data because you are no longer on the same network, and thus can't use the internal (RFC1918) address to reach it.
When you're using WiFi, it works because you are on the same network.
In order to reach your computer when using mobile data on your phone, you must do BOTH of:
ssh to your ...

If you want to go the wireless route I'd recommend Wi-Fi File Explorer pro.
Just make a Tethered WiFi network(or be on the same router) use the app on your phone to get a local IP and transfer all files directly. It needs no installation on your computer; just install it on your phone and use it.

In Snow Leopard (sorry, I don't have a Lion to try this with):
In System Preferences > Sharing,
Enable 'Internet Sharing'
Enable 'To computers using AirPort'
Click the 'Airport Options' button and set up hotspot's network name and encryption. The AirPort will have to be off for this button to be active.
'Ok' to back out to the Sharing pref pane.

The best and quickest way to use it is to obtain the tool from the Android SDK, called aapt and invoke it from the command line like this:
aapt d --values badging some_apk_name.apk
An example of the output is shown:
package: name='foo.bar' versionCode='1' versionName='1.00'
sdkVersion:'7'
targetSdkVersion:'16'
application: label='FooBar' ...

There's an article over there at the XDA Forum, titled Epic 4G Touch Root on Mac or Linux using Heimdall!. I'm not sure whether these steps apply to your device (not having the "touch" mentioned) -- but as there was no real answer yet, I thought you might give it a try.
The linked article includes a video tutorial, which you might want to watch first. ...

It's quite simple to turn this off...
I'm using OsX 10.7.4 and I did this:
I went to "System Preferences", than in the line "System" I went to "Users and Groups". In the top, there is "Password" and something like "Login Items".
I went to this "Login Items" and just clicked one time in "KiesViaWifiAgent" and than in the " - " button under it.
Now, I can ...

I'm no Linux buff but this Macworld article seems promising assuming you know the UUID for the volume and don't mind working from the terminal. The article wisely recommends backing up the volume before messing around too much.
Also... Googling for Android+phone+UUID is returning links which are related to programming. Perhaps retrieving the UUID from an ...

EasyTether i think would be your best option. The free version is full-figured, and paying for the full market version will get you https:// sites. And the drivers for it are available on their website for download.
P.S. it's only $4.99 right now in the Amazon Appstore ;)

If you want to sync media files, I suggest you to connect your device in Storage mode or use Dropbox. If you mean that you want to sync contacts, appointments and this kind of stuff, just migrate all that information to Google Contacts, Calendar and others using iCal and Contacts on your Mac.
If you really want something like HTC Sync you have two options:

For data not including contacts, email, etc since they're already synced for you thru Gmail... you could try Dropbox or some other cloud service. Dropbox would appear as a folder on your computer (Mac or Windows), and Dropbox would run as an app on your phone. So, whatever files/data you have in the folder on your computer would be accessible from your ...

I would expect Mac to have no trouble mounting the USB storage when you connect the device over USB, but if it does you coukd try PdaNet. You can also transfer files over Bluetooth, WiFi, etc; please search for those solutions. As for syncing, we jeed to know what exactly you're trying to sync.

EasyTether Lite works for me. I've used it on an XP machine as well as a Mac. I love that it's cross-platform.
Shares your phone Internet connection
with computer/laptop/notebook (Windows
7/Vista/XP 64-bit/32-bit, Mac OS X
10.4/10.5/10.6, Ubuntu 10.4+). EasyTether works via USB.
Does not need root access.
There's also EasyTether Full.

Okay, I am admittedly not an Apple guy, but it looks like you might need a third-party solution.
According to some comments I found here, non-support of birthdays is a known thorn. To get around it, the commenter used Spanning Sync but also mentioned SyncMan.
Spanning Sync offers a 15-day trial, after which it costs $25 for a one-year subscription or a $65 ...

Well, I figured out how to get it to stop unchecking the box, though the solution is hardly much less a pain.
If you activate the debugging mode, plug in the cable, run your test and then as soon as you're done testing (or if you're not actually debugging, as soon as the app is installed), unplug it, the checkbox will stay checked indefinitely.
You're ...
