ISync 2.2 and 9500

it seems I didn't "read the docs" before updating to 10.4.6.
I was using iSync with my Nokia 9500, and it was synching fine, thanks to software created by Matcatastrophe.
I now know that it no longer works with the new iSync, I probably corrupted the new installation by trying to load the old hack. That's according to Nova media Mobile Data Solutions, which sells the new plugins that work with the 9500.
I bought and tried to install the Nova plugins but it won't work and their website says I should contact Apple about repairing iSync 2.2. So here I am.
What do I do now? Do I reinstall the entire 10.4.6 update? Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance.

I realize that this topic has been discussed elsewhere, but apparently, unless I missed it, there has been no resolution.
The question I really need answered is whether reinstalling the entire combo 10.4.6 combo update is a good idea or does not do it.
Thanks again.

Isync 2.3 and Motorola V3r

Just buy a new Razr V3r (actual V3 also known as V3_O5) with firmware R4515G08.BD.43R.
Isync see it as V3 and accept to sync it but create 1 contact per phone number (1 contact with 2 phone number on the mac = 2 contact on the V3), doesn't sync all numbers and never sync adress and the worse is than it swap me all last name and first name.
I know their is the same problem with V3i.
Is anyone got a solution?
ps: sorry for my poor english, it's not my native tong.

A possible answer to the issue of the phone not getting all of the phone numbers is that the Razr will not synchronize numbers that have tags different than its phone book can identify. If you create a new contact on the Razr, you'll see the categories that it will identify for a new phone number. I you use the "other" tag in Address Book, or have any number tagged with a name other than what the Razr uses, the numbers will not be synchronized. I discovered this after I had a phone replaced, and had to go back in to the contacts in Address Book and re-tag the numbers that were missing on the Razr.
After doing so, all contacts synch'd the missing numbers. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, the Razr does not support addresses, and will only alphabetize by first name.
Happy synchronizing,
Gary

ISync 2.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update released: READ THIS before installing

Apple has released iSync 2.2 as part of the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update package, and it has serious ramifications for current or first-time users of iSync. READ this information below before you perform the installation. This information is extracted from Technical Information Library article 303419, found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303419
iSync 2.2: Read before updating to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later, or before first sync
iSync 2.2, included with the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update, works with many phones. However, if you have an existing phone that you sync with iSync in Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.5, there are some important steps you should follow before you update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later, as well as after you update.
Before you update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later
1. Make sure that all of the contact and calendar data that you want to sync is on your computer.
2. Perform a sync with your devices before upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.6 to make sure the information on your computer is up to date, and to resolve any conflicts between your devices and computer.
3. If you have modified iSync or installed third-party software to support your specific model of phone, or if if iSync 2.2 specifically adds support for your specific model of phone, you should consider removing your phone from iSync, undoing these changes and uninstalling that software before upgrading. Your phone will not work with iSync after applying the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Software Update and your third party software will need to be updated.
Note: Reudo's Sync for Mac is not affected and does not need to be uninstalled prior to updating.
If you skip these steps, you will see this message after upgrading: "Plug-in for this phone model is missing. Install that phone's plug-in if you want iSync to support it."
4. Make sure that your phone is configured to use its memory to store contacts instead of a SIM card. The steps on how to do this vary from phone to phone—consult your device's documentation for how to check its configuration, and if necessary how to change your phone to store contacts in its memory.
5. Make sure your phone has the correct date and time set.
6. Make sure that you have a current backup of your Address Book and iCal data.
Refer to the article for additional instructions and an illustrated example of the steps to perform before installing the update.

Problem syncing after updateing to iSync 2.2 and OS 10.4.6

I can't sync my Nokia 6620 after updating iSync 2.2! I get an error massage "The phone address book is full. Please delete some contacts on your phone or change filtering options and syncronize again."
I tried deleteing all the contact on my phone and syncronize without any luck! Tried to reseting the device and syncronize; no luck! I have even deleted the pairing and re-paired — nothing worked!!
Please help!!! I have a Dual 2 GHz G5/2.5 GB SDRAM. Thank in advance.

I doubt that the problem is related to having more that one copy of AppleWorks on your hard drive, although there is no need to have more than one copy of the same version & language, i.e. US/North American English 6.2.9 (which also contains 6.2.8 if you purchased the retail box) or French 6.2.4/6.2.3.
Personally, I don't use the assistant to prepare an envelope as I set up my own template/stationary in ClarisWorks long before there were assistants. Others also have problems with the various assistants. Since it crashes when you go to Page Setup, the problem could be in AppleWorks (more likely) or in your printer driver (less likely). The first thing to do is delete the AppleWorks preferences. Deleting AppleWorks & reinstalling does not touch the preference files, they must be moved manually. It also is necessary to delete these preferences after every AppleWorks crash. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information. If this doesn't work, please post back, especially with the make & model of printer you are using.

Outlook and 9500 Sync but do not reflect updates

I have Outlook 2003 and the latest version of PC Suite (6.??).
WHen I syncronise, either via the 9500 or via the PC, they both reflect that updates have taken place for contacts and dummy calendar entries I have entered (some on the 9500 and others in Outlook's Calendar).
When I view the 9500 Calendar it shows all of the entries I made on the 9500 but has not imported any from Outlook even though the log states that 1 update was made.
My Psion 5mx used to sync in seconds!
Update:
Stranger still, One of the entries made by the Psion 5mx and then synced up to Outlook HAS copied across. It was a repeating day entry and my 9500 is reflecting this.
Arrrrrgh - I hate having new toys that I can't use!
Anybody out there got any bright ideas?

Hello,
Please try the following :
First you can reset the PC Suite profile on the phone. Herefore you go on the inner side of the device to Desk -> Tools -> Device management -> you will see here the PC Suite profile -> You press the Menu button and choose Delete
After this you press again the Menu button -> Tools -> Reinstate PC Suite profile.
After this you close device management, and reboot the phone, by removing the battery from the device during 10 seconds, and placing it back.
On your PC you remove the following directories :
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\PC Suite\ConfServer
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Nokia\ContentCopier
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Nokia\PCSync\SynchData
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Datalayer
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Phone Browser
(you replace %USERNAME% by the username with which you're logged in in Windows)
After this you reboot your computer and try again.
If this still fails the correct version number of PC Suite would help. You can find this in the main screen of PC Suite if you go to Help -> Info

ISync 2.2 and SonyEricsson S700i

After installing the update 10.4.6 on my PB G4 1.5GHz; I could not sync my mobile phone SonyEricsson S700i using iSync 2.2. I tried it several times but every time just at the end of the sync process it gives a message "Error [S700i] There was an error pushing some changes to the phone. The synchronization may have been cancelled on the phone". I tried to solve the problem by deleting and re-installing the phone, deleting the preference file for iSync but I always get the same error message.
Any suggestions ?

ISync 2.4 and Sony Ericsson T610

I have always stored contacts in my T610 as "Last Name, First Name" and never had a problem syncing with my Mac address book. Now with iSync 2.4, "Last Name," ends up in the First Name field and "First Name" ends up in the Last Name field. This seems like a bug. Has anyone else seen this?

Maybe I should have been more clear about this.
You cannot install iSync 2 or later using Pacifist from anything but a Mac OS X 10.4 or later Install or Upgrade DVD - either the one which shipped with your machine, or a commercial universal installer disk.
You don't have the option at the bottom of the Devices menu because, no matter what you might believe about the process you followed, you STILL have iSync 1.5 installed. The list of menu items you show is the view in iSync 1.5, not iSync 2 or later.
You need to locate your Mac OS X 10.4 or later disk or purchase a retain version, and then follow these instructions:
Launch Pacifist. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install or Upgrade DVD in your optical drive and wait for it to mount. Press the now-activated Open Mac OS X Install Packages button in Pacifist. Wait for the window to appear - it will take some time to load all of the resources - then double click on the Contents of Essentials.pkg file to open it, double-click on the Applications folder, select iSync.app then press the Install button.
That will install a copy of iSync 2 into your Applications folder. Then run the Mac OS X 10.4.9—at minimum, or the 10.9.10 or 10.9.11—Combo update for PowerPC or intel processor based machines—whichever is appropriate for your platform—to update it to release 2.4.
There is no other way to do it: Pacifist. Original disk. That's it.

ISync 2.2 and SonyEricsson K750i

I had no problem under 10.4.5 but, under 10.4.6 and iSync 2.2, my calendars sync randomly : some events sync, other not. The process is interrupted by a message (translated from French) : "Agenda full".
I tried to filter out more and more events but always the same behaviour. I also tried to reset the phone but that didn't help either.
No problem with the contacts but I need this agenda.
Thanks for any suggestion...
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I had the same problem and "solved" it.
From past experience I know that some stupid decision limits the number of contacts storable on the memory card to a maximum of 500 - disregarding the fact that storage for plenty more is available.
The old iSync was limited to syncing only 2 months in the future, the new version supports up to 1 year. I selected this option and got the error message you quote. Reducing the time frame for synchronization "solved" the problem. I suppose another stupid decision was made to limit the maximum number of calendar events in the phone. And you can get below this limit by shortening the time frame for which you want to synchronize entries.

Isync 2.2 and Nokia 9300

Is there anybody working with the Nokia 9300 and the new isync-update? any experiences? After updating and reinstalling the patches, i cannot add my phones to isync my 9300 is added as unknown devices and my SE T630 is seen but i cannot add it.

I had the very same problem with my 9300 and iSync, but after a while of tinkering, I managed to fix it.
The problem was in the patch that I had originally pasted into my MetaClasses.plist file. All that needed to be done was to change the following line:
<string>com.nokia.serie60v2.0</string>
into
<string>family.com.nokia.serie60v2.0</string>
After this, I restarted iSync and was prompted to send the new iSync application to my phone (v1.2). After this was installed, I ran the synchronisation and it worked. It should be noted that the first time was quite slow as it had to synchronise everything again.

Isync 2.2 and Nokia 6021 worked few times but not anymore

I sucessfully synchronized my Nokia 6021 after uptdating to isync 2.2. It might be a coincidence, but, after the recent service downtimes with .mac, I can not get to sync my powerbook and my nokia anymore. here is what happens:
1. start isync
2. click sync
3. the acqua bar show that the operation is progressing but, after 25% of bar lenght, the acqua bar does not move anymore.....
4. on the other hand isync keeps counting thousands of contacts while I only have less than 100.
The sync opeartion used to take seconds while now it keeps going and going until I have to stop it.
Has anyone expereinced something like that?
Anu feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Aur,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried to reset history several times with no luck. When I did reset history, I tried different options such as "merge..." or "erase device..." and I obtain the same result.
Here is the status that I read just below the acqua bar while synching:
"receiving changes from "Nokia 6021". contacts - 1534"
1534 is the number that keeps growing....it starts from 1 and it keeps growing.
This is really frustrating.

Do I use iSync with iPhone and iTunes?

I am a fairly new iPhone user and am having some syncing problems. I sync my iPhone to iTunes via a USB cable. On about every other sync, the contacts seem to hang and take a long time to complete (although eventually they do). During this time, the iSync icon on the menu bar spins and if I put my cursor over it the top line says "Canceling Sync".
I do not use MobileMe or Bluetooth to sync. I am trying to understand if I even need iSync activated? I went into the iSync preferences an unchecked the box that says Enable Syncing on this Computer but then it seems that nothing syncs over USB. But I've seen other posts that imply that you only use iSync for MobileMe, or Bluetooth or a phone that supports it (not an iPhone).
Can someone give me some direction on this. I'm thinking my contact ync issue is somehow related to this iSync issue but I can't be sure at this point.
Thanks,
David

The iSync application is only used for syncing non-Apple mobile phones, however, syncing for the computer does have to be anabled in iSync's preferences.
You can't sync the iPhone over Bluetooth or using iSync. You either use MobileMe for over the air syncing, or iTunes for USB syncing.
I would suggest posting in one of the iPhone specific forums here:

Using iSync on Panther and Tiger

Hello,
I iSync happily between .Mac machines running Tiger.
I'm planning to set up a machine running Panther (so that I can run Epicad SyncAgain) and want to run iSync 1.5 to sync contacts, events and tasks on that machine with my .Mac account. Will I be able to sync my Tiger machines using iSync 2.1 to the same .Mac account? Will Panther iSync 1.5 even work with .Mac today?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Doing exactly this, I have had some success, certainly no weirder trouble than I see a lot of folk having right now (occasional unable to login to .Mac server warnings on one of the tiger machines)
Good luck
Andy

Isync/.mac sync and mail accounts

Mail checks 3 email accounts for me. And .Mac is set to sync my mail accounts and settings across two computers.
The thing is, every time I open Mail (on either computer), .mac will eventually sync, and I get the "this is going to change >5% of your mail accounts" warning. It says it is going to delete two accounts, modify zero, and add two. I always just click ok.
But it's getting to the point it's annoying. So today I clicked the "details" section- and it shows the accounts that are supposed to be added/deleted- and they are identical.
Everything else syncs fine, without error.
is there something funny about mail account syncing? Why does it do this every single bloody time .mac runs a sync?!
Thanks!

You should ask in the .Mac Sync forum. iSync doesn't do any kind of Mail syncing - it's for syncing to phones and PDAs.

10.4.6 isync 2.2 and RAZR v3

I have always been able to connect perfectly with bluetooth to my phone. After updating to 10.4.6 isync cannot connect via blutooth anymore!
Any clue what's going on?
I can connect it with a USB cable, but as it previously worked with bluetooth (which I prefer by far) I would like to get this working again.

Did you try and delete the original pairing of your razr and pair it again?
