The last I heard about the Mac Sync client for Windows Phone was that it had been updated for Windows Phone 8.1 phones. To my knowledge, it hasn't been updated for Windows 10 Mobile as of yet. That was version 3.1 of the Mac Sync client. What version do you have of the sync client?

Are you on el Capitan? If so, you have to hack in support. A Usb driver needs to be swapped out in the sync app on osx, but I don't remember the exact ones (I did post a link a while back, but not on my pc to find it)

interesting, since almost all other Windows phone owner don't like Mac or Apple. so it would be very few people like you actually use windows mobile as well as a Mac.
anyway, you can just use SD card reader to do sync, or use wifi to connect, there are apps for wifi sync on windows store. all you need to do is download the app, open it up, and open browser on your Mac or any computer to browse your file from your phone.
