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.

as the jump to intel progresses, so too will incompatibilities between PPC and intel mac. this will force us all to buy more apple.

  • Scanner not found after HP driver and Mac OS X 10.5.5 updates

    I had my HP C5180 All-In-One connected to my network and working fine with my iMac before the recent HP Driver and Mac OS X 10.5.5 updates from Software Update. I could print and scan with no problems. After the updates I get an error message from HP Scan Pro that there was a communication error and the scanner was not found. What's interesting is that if I start with the Scan Menu button on the printer I can get all the way to HP Scan Pro launching on my iMac before the error message appears. Apparently the iMac and C5180 see each other and can communicate.
    I had this problem the last time both the HP Drivers and Mac OS X were upgraded through Software Update. HP Support's solution was to uninstall the entire HP driver software package and reinstall with the download from HP's site. That is **** poor and really unacceptable. I really just expect stuff not to break when Apple or HP suggest an update through Software Update. My philosophy of running Macs at home is that I don't have to think or work too hard to adminster them. This is proving me wrong on that idea.
    Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

    I feel your pain brother. Just posted with the exact same problem. Looks like the "fix" is to uninstall/reinstall?
    Yeah, they are definitely seeing each other as is the case with my setup. While it is a band aid and not fixing the problem, it you really really have to scan something, open up your browser and type in the IP address of your 5180. If you don't know it, you can find it by going into the configuration menu in the 5180 until you get to network. From there, you can scroll down to view settings for wired/wireless (don't know how you're connected to network). Once you get your IP address, type it in the browser. At that point the configuration page of the 5180 should come up. On the left, there is a application heading and under that a "webscan" feature. Click on that, then choose the option that applies to you. Once that's done, click preview. Once you see the image, right click on it and save it somewhere. If you hit the scan button, you will also save it, but it's anyone's guess to where it's saved to or what it's named. Again, not the ideal solution, but if you have to use it, then better than nothing.
    FYI I have a C7280 so not sure yours will follow the exact same instructions, but should be close.
    Good luck

    How do I solve this issue so I can use the Captivate software?

    - You can only sync with one iTune library but you can manually music music and vides with different computers. To do so go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - To get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

    I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

    Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

    They probably could be related. Start with the articles below to troubleshoot issues with Wi-Fi as well as making sure that the router is using the recommended settings.

  • Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tih

    Hi my name is Catherine I have downloaded digital editions and a book to my PC but wish to read this on an iPad. I have downloaded Digital Editions on the iPad and don't know how to authorize it. Will the book automatically download onto the iPad once tihis is done and I open my account on the iPad?

    YOu can also use Bluefire Reader for reading books that need an Adobe ID. There are several ways to transfer a book to your iPad. One way is to email the acsm file, open the email on the iPad, and "Open in ... ". Another way is to use an app like Dropbox. The third way is to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and under  Settings select Apps. Scroll down to the File Sharing apps, select the app you want the book on, on the right select Add, navigate to where the book is on your computer, and select it. Open the app on your iPad and it should load.

    An SMC reset may fix it, although it may not prove to be a permanent solution:

    If it re-occurs I'd suspect a failed sensor.

  • Since the ios7 update has anyone lost ability to charge phone with external battery back! And is there going to be an update to correct this?

    Since the ios7 update has anyone lost ability to charge phone with external battery back! And is there going to be an update to correct this?

    Modular747 is a troll with very little real knowledge of the iPhone charging systems (as evidenced by his uninformed comments in other threads).
    It could very well be iOS 7 refusing to charge from "non-authorized" accessories. We have done A/B tests with the same accessory (in this case cables) with iOS6 and iOS7 and have seen the cable work with iOS6, then not work (i.e. not charge) with iOS 7. Same device, same cable. Only change was the OS.
    Keep the pressure on Apple, folks. It is not OK to make working accessories unusable with a software update.

  • HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

    Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
    Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
    Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
    Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
    Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • Late 2009 Mac Mini EFI 2.1 Firmware update not needed/already factory installed?

    Here has been my issue of trying to figure out if Mac Mini can handle (and fully use) 8GB of RAM with my current EFI version.  
    I want to upgrade to 8GB on a LATE 2009 Mac Mini that currently has Boot ROM MM31.00AD.B00 and was told to update with EFI Firmware update 2.1 but it does not install saying "This update is not needed on this machine".
    I found various contradicting posts saying that I need my Boot ROM to be MM31.0081.B06 or my machine won't utilize the 8GB fully
    and will slow down in performance and/or crash after the Apple recommended 4GB.
    But here's what I found interesting. Some users have mentioned that the Late 2009 Mac Mini's shipped with updated firmware and don't need this update but could not find a concrete answer as to yes it did ship with it or not.
    Apple doesn't even list a Late 2009 Mac Mini as needing a Firmware update in this list of Firmware updates:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 . Should I just assume that my machine shipped with said update and is capeable of the 8GB? I use this for Logic Pro 9 as a somewhat portable workstation that I can take with me so maxing out the RAM would be ideal for me.
    Any help or clarification would be greatly apprishiated,
    Nelson

    Actually a Late 2009 can take 8GB of RAM and only the Early 2009 needs the EFI update.

  • Have sansa mp3, Windows media player on old pc now want to move music(mp3) to ipod touch and Mac itunes can't find a way to do this

    I have a Sansa mp3 which I used Windows media player to download music to.  Family made the move to Apple.  Now need to move mp3 music to itunes on Mac.  Can not find way to do this.  MP3 device does not show up when connected to Mac by USB. Please help!

    In the iTunes folder there should be a folder saying "Import to iTunes". It is either in Music/Itunes or Music/Itunes/Media. Put the music you want on your iPod in this folder, start iTunes, and sync.
