How I got my Motorola v3 to sync with BT
Shocked and surprised I am!!! Here is what worked for me:
1. Delete isync, ical and addressbook plist files from the preferences folder.
2. Delete the pairing in BT.
3. Remove the battery from the v3 (leave out for 5 seconds and reinstall).
4. Turn on BT on the v3.
5. Use BT setup assistant to pair the v3.
6. Go to connection/BT/setup/find me on the v3. Select find me.
7. When prompted in BT setup assistant to enter the passkey on the phone, do that.
8. The v3 was recognized and paired by BT setup assistant.
9. I then started isync and believe it or not it connected and did a successful sync.
10. I have done it 10 times each time was successful.
I will say though that it took 70-90 seconds for isync to find the v3 and start the sync, so be patient.
Good luck.
Bob
ps. Not sure if it was only the deleting of the plist files, or deleting the pairing along with deleting the plist files or if it was actually removing the battery on the v3 along with deleting the plist files and deleting the pairing, but it has worked flawlessly. Hope it continues.
Looks like you may not need to do all the steps suggested.
I just deleted my phone from the bluetooth section of System Preferences. Then made my phone discoverable and added a bluetooth device, which brought up the bluetooth setup assistant and paired with my phone (had to enter the passkey given by the setup assistant).
Then I went to iSync and deleted my phone from iSync (I'd already set it up for USB earlier) and then added a device and had iSync scan for my bluetooth phone (had to make my phone 'discoverable' again) and it worked fine. Didn't have to take out any batteries or trash and preferences.
I'm actually not sure if I even had to delete my phone from the bluetooth section of system preferences - maybe just deleting the USB version of my phone in iSync would have done the job - not sure.
Anyway, thanks to all for the info...

i have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?
No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

If it's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys.
If it's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the screen and click on Store.

I have an iPhone and keep my calendar into it. I have synced all photos. How do I get the calendar to sync with my MacBook Pro?
Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?
The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?
iCloud wasn't on, I accepted iTunes offer to upgrade to 6.1.1.
Next time I went to sync through iTunes, iCloud was on.
Your advice appears to have solved my problem...for now.
Thank you.
Historically, the upgrade to 6.0 lost all of my contacts.
A manual restore brought them back.
Tech support said "Oh, that happens sometimes, you have to back up before upgrades", fortunately I do.
Again, thank you for the help. -
Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?
Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple? -

how do i get my iphone5 to sync with my cars handsfree bluetooth?
You need to check the car's manual to see how to put the car into discovery/pairing mode. Once that is done, the iPhone and car should recognize each other, so long as Bluetooth is turned on in the phone. You may have to enter a passcode in the phone for the vehicle, but that is generally explained in the vehicle's manual.

How do I get my Blackberry to Sync with Outlook and other apps on Mavericks?
With the removal of iSync, how do I get my Blackberry to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2011, and the other applications on Mac?
In most cases you would never need to do so in 2014.
It is a very old way of thinking that mobile devices should "sync" with a local computer any more.
All modern mobile devices should be communicating directly with a server to get email, calendar, contacts, and any other data. So, your desktop computers should get email, calendar, and contact information directly from the server, your laptops should get dta from the server, and any tablets, phones, or blackberrys should be getting data directly from the server just the same.
