8600 Lunar and isync

I am running the latest version or Mac OS X 10.5.2 leopard and i have a new Nokia 8600 Lunar. My mac will not sync with phone for some reason. It used to do it when i had the 8800 scirocco.
Any ideas anyone?

the 8800 and 8801 are explicitly supported by isync, the 8600 is not.

sorry.
in your shoes i think there are 3 options:
1. wait. it's the least pleasant option, because you might wait forever, but maybe nokia will release an isync plugin
2. be proactive: there are 3rd party plugins you can try like:
http://www.james-lloyd.com/scripts/nokia-series-40-isync-plugin/
but the link i gave you sates there are 'problems' with the plugin. but its free and maybe it will get fixed, perhaps just another waiting game.
3. hack: you'd be surprised how little you need to know to get started in trying to turn a different plugin into the one you want. personally, this is where i'd be - download the plugin above, dont expect it to work, start tearing into it to see if i can find out why it fails.
sadly, i think the only other 2 options are likely "off the table" already:
4. don't sync.
5. use a different operating system (windows, bleh)
wish i had better news for you,
-bit
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

Just received this re motorola and isync - not good news

-- Technical status of connections between newer Motorola phones and
iSync --
After evaluating lots of information from users and many tests, the
situation with the new generation of Motorola cellular phones (RAZR,
SLVR, PEBL, others) regarding iSync connection looks to us as follows:
There exist at least three generations of firmware in these phones:
1. Firmware generation (beginning in RAZR V3c) works at least somehow
with iSync. Address book can be synchronized, sometimes problems with
calendar data occur.
2. Firmware generation (e.g. RAZR V3i, V3x, SLVR, PEBL)
With this phones you have no functioning Bluetooth communication to a
Macintosh at all. You can "pair" the Mac and the phone (i.e. exchange
the confirmation codes) but after that registering of services between
them fails. After setting up the Motorola phone with the Bluetooth
Assistant you will get the message "no services available". Because of
that you can neither use iSync to exchange data with these phones via
Bluetooth nor any other Bluetooth service (e.g. Send File, or serial
port communication). This general Bluetooth communication between a
Windows PC and the Motorola phones is working. These phones also don't
react on approaches of iSync to communicate via USB.
3. Firmware generation (e.g. RAZR V3x, V3i, SLVR, PEBL, V557)
In this generation the general Bluetooth communication is working again,
but the data format for strings has been changed by Motorola. In the old
days a name like "Adam" was transfered as an ASCII string. Now they are
hexadecimal encoded, in this example the phone now sends the Hex-Codes
for it: "4164616d". The Interpretation of this data is hard coded inside
the iSync application and by our knowledge can't be modified by a
plugin. Appearently iSync is not able to switch to this other encoding
format automatically.
Because of this current technical situation we don't see any possibility
to implement a plugin solution for these phone models that would satisfy
the Motorola customers.

Issuing the 6xxx series of boxes to a new customer is a poor practise. Infact, no one should be receiving the 6xxx boxes at all. To issue one for new service knowing there is likely to be an unsatisfactory experience, and then tell the customer they need to pay an additional $40 for a new box seems sleazy. Time to retire the 6xxx boxes for good.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP Pavilion dv7-7073ca

1. HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP Pavilion dv7-7073ca
2. Operating System
Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error messsage: Blue Screen and Crash. Can't PRINT Wirelessly or Wired + Blue Screen Of Death when printing a document with Microsoft Office. It then restarted the entire computer.
It might have said something about BIOS
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No, all I did was install the software that came on the Officejet disc
I don't know what to do. I tried to create an adhoc network, and that didn't work. I tried to connect it via usb cable and the whole computer crashed. I tried to set up a router and then it would not connect to the internet.
Why is this design so flawed? Every wireless printer I have had does this and will not work easily or permanently. You should just be able to connect instantly to your computer and voila, you can print. But nothing seems to work. Mind you, the constant variable here is me, and I have little patience for spending days trying to get this to work. But I am a student, and this is holding back valuable study time.
What do I do???
Any advice appreciated...can someone tell me step by step how to do this? I followed the instructions in the books, but ended up well...you know, so that's why I'm here.

I had the same issue, officejet pro 8600 plus causing blue screen of death on my new computer. After several frustrating months trying everything, I fould that my new computer has 3.1 USB ports, this printer doesnt like them, they need a 2.1 USB port.
For whatever reason USB ports are not backwards compatible, so I plugged the USB cable into the 2.1 port and no more crashes.
3.1 ports are blue, 2.1 ports are black ( the plastic inside)
Hope this helps

Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

Dear Friends,
I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
I'm still left wondering:
What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
David

I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)

Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
"W810i
iSync can not connect to this device".
Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

E65 and Isync

Until recently I've been able to sync my calendars between my mac (running leopard and Isync 3) and use my phone as a travelling diary and appointment reminder but for some reason since last week although the mac and the phone sync OK and I get messages on the phone and on the mac which detail the information being transferred the calendar dates sent from my mac don't show up in the calendar entries on the E65. Any idea why?

There's possibly some corrupt data in one or more of your Contacts or Calendars.
Try syncing only Contacts and then only Calendars and see if it will sync one but not the other. That will tell you where the corruption is.
Then have a look here for the procedure for identifying and fixing the corrupt items.

Officejet 8600 Pro and Windows Server 2003 (32 bit)

The company I am consulting for purchased three 8600 Pro printers to replace three older and non-working printers. They are still using XP Pro on their workstations and running Windows Server 2003 (32 bit version) on a file server and data server. All of the workstations have the drivers for the 8600 installed and are printing with no problems through the network. I checked the driver page on HP's site and there are no drivers listed for the 32 bit version of the server OS, only the 64 bit version. I need to install the printer drivers on these servers to be able to print reports without having to purchase another printer. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem or do I have to install one of the older printers in order to print and fax from the servers? I really can't shut down these servers in order to reinstall the 64 bit version of the OS.

Hi,
Install the software using the command prompt, the software do supported on Windows Server 2003 but its installation process is different.
Follow these steps to install the printer on the server:

Nokia Mural (6750) and isync

I've been looking and can't find: Is it possible to sync Ical with my Nokia 6750? I know I"ll have to get a compatible usb cable, but before I buy that, can it be done? Thanks.
Judy

After pairing your Nokia via BlueTooth... start iSync... go to Devices > Add Device while iSync is the active (front most app). You probably already know this...
One anomaly that I have noticed (even with my last Motorola cell phone and iSync) is that sometimes phone numbers, events, etc. will not be deleted when synced again (maybe just me).
If this happens... or if iSync says that your memory is full and that it can not add all of your events... then (after deselecting some of your calendar boxes in iCal, or creating a smaller group phone list in Address Book) I have found that (while iSync is front most app) if you go to the menu bar and select Devices > Reset All Devices... iSync will _erase/reformat_ your Nokia and then only add the newly selected items. And you can continue to trial/error this until you reduce the number of phone numbers and calendar events to fit on the memory card in your Nokia.
Hope this helps.

Nokia 6620 and iSync

For the past year, I have been syncing my iMac with my Nokia 6620. Tonight, I get an error message. The iSync log gives the following:
8:22:02 PM Connecting to Nokia 6620
8:22:02 PM Device “Nokia 6620” connected
8:22:02 PM Receiving changes from “Nokia 6620”.
8:22:03 PM “Nokia 6620” Receiving changes complete
8:22:03 PM “Nokia 6620” Processing changes…
8:22:18 PM “Nokia 6620” Engine processing complete
8:22:18 PM Applying changes to “Nokia 6620”
8:22:20 PM Error [Nokia 6620] An unexpected error occurred.
8:22:20 PM Error Device “Nokia 6620” synchronization failed.
It appears there is something wrong with the Nokia 6620. I have reset the phone several times but, I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What you perceive as a problem is actually a feature - a consequence of shifting synchronization of all servers, applications and devices to the SyncService framework. Now, iTunes is configured to interact with the truth database maintained by SyncServices to synchronize iPods, .Mac Sync handles a similar interaction to synchronize with .Mac, and iSync is relegated to handling mobile handsets and Palm handheld organizers and smartphones.
In the same manner, applications like iCal and the Address Book interact with the SyncServices framework, as do many third-party applications like MySync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS, DayLite, and others.
If your mobile handset is not connected via Bluetooth or USB, or iSync is not running when you initiate a synchronization event using the HotSync icon, or the button on your cable or cradle, then your device will not be synchronized until it is 'attached' and iSync is launched. This update occurs because the SyncServices engine is aware that the device exists and was not available during the prior event. As soon as becomes available, the update takes place.
If you want your mobile handset to be simultaneously synchronized when you synchronize your Palm device, then you must do two things:
• 'attach' it via Bluetooth or USB, and
• launch iSync prior to initiating the HotSync

P900 and iSync failure

I am running iMac G4 with OSX.2.8 and iSync 1.5. Have a P900 with Bluetooth and after a lot of teething problems got it to synch correctly last year, but I have no idea how! Suddenly it has failed to synchronise again for no obvious reason, except on about 1 out of 20 tries when it seems to work unexpectedly. I have tried all the suggestions on this forum, to no avail. I have tried calling it a mobile phone or another device but it seems to make no diferrence.The device address is 00-0e-07-cb-e0-f1; does anyone know if this sounds correct? I am none too technically minded so if anyone has any suggestions, I would apprecite them in simple terms!

Silly me! I temporarily disabled firewall and it works fine!

Need to reinstall iCal and iSync

Hi
I managed to really mess up my computer but...fortunately I do have documents, etc., saved. I don't particularly want to do a complete reinstall since I seem to have most of my "stuff" back on track. BUT I simply cannot get iCal and iSync to open! I would like to install these two items fresh. Is there any way I can do that without having to reinstall the whole system again?
Thanks!
Skitterbug70

Thanks for the info about iCal! Before I try and install it, should I remove the iCal program that isn't working properly? And how do I get all the pieces of it off my computer? I didn't do a clean install of my O/S but I am beginning to think that might have been easiest.I thought before I attempted that, I'd give partial restoration a try. I also have to be very sure I've resaved what I consider precious.
I made a couple of backups with the Backup software that came with .MAC but it doesn't want to restore right. If I wipe my hard drive and start over, I don't have a way of accessing that Backup program anyway. This whole mess is more complicated than I thought it would be. <sigh>
Anyway, I think I'll search the hard drive for iCal and delete all that I find and then reinstall it from my disks to see if that works.
Thanks for your help and kind welcome!
And if anyone knows where I can find iSync, I'd be grateful for the link! Oh and my mouse doesn't want to right click either! Where would I find drivers for it? It's an attached Mighty Mouse.
Okay, I'll quit asking! I'll drive everyone off with my questions! <grin>
Thanks again!
Skitterbug70
PS: I figured the mouse problem out. I forgot about using the Preference panel to change the right button to Secondary. So it works now! <grin>

Lion: Battery Lifetime ...and iSync, Front Row?

Hi,
i'm very bored about the Lion. I have a fresh new 2011 MBP 15" and updated to Lion yesterday. Since that Front Row and iSync are gone. I really need iSync!!! Last but not least, the battery lifetime is 50% lesser than with Leopard (from 6-8 hours down to max 3 hours). The performance is also bad and many Apps like Mail have connection Problems since the update or wifi is crashing his connection.
I really thinking about to get my money back and to downgrade to Leopard! I've expected more from Apple!
Does anyone has an idea how to get iSync and Front Row back?
Thanks!
Best regards from Germany!
Henny

i think i've got the solution for my problem with the mega high cpu usage on mail app...
Open the Disk-Management-Utility
Select your Mac OS Disk
Repair the access rights and wait.
After reopen the mail app (maybe you must restart too), the mail app works fine it seems for now and the cpu ussage is about 8% at the moment. i hope that was the solution.
