Isync and Entourage X

I know that there have been prior discussions on this issue, but my problem has just arisen with the installation of Tiger and Isync 2.
I was using Isync to synchronize my Palm Zire 21 with Entourage X for my contacts and with ICal for calendar events.
I had made the settings using the Palm software and Isync to avoid any conflict between them.
Now, however, when I attempt to use Isynch with my Palm, it forces me to move the Entourage conduit to the Isync Disabled Conduits folder in the Library because of the alleged conflict.
Is there any way around this?

You can continue to do so, but you must first…
• disable Contact synchronization in the drop-down pane for your device in iSync
• reactivate the Entourage X conduit with the HotSync Manager, then…
take this additional step, which was not required under iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X 10.3.x releases…
• trash the com.apple.isync.plist file located in the Preferences folder in your user Library folder
Only then can you launch iSync and synchronize contacts with Entourage and events and tasks with iCal.

ICal and Entourage - 10 hour time differences - HELP!!

I am using Entourage 2008 and syncing with my Simbian PDA using iSync (and iCal). This has worked perfectly for over 6 months. Not one issue.
Since installing SL, iCal is now synchronising with my phone at GMT rather than GMT+10 (so the comment about the NZ version is not far from the truth!).
Is there a fix for this?
How do I back out of SL and return to my previous untroubled existence?
Thanks in advance

That sounds like a time zone issue.
Go to the main menu of your iPhone->Settings->General->Date & Time and check to see if the time zone listed is the same as your mac.
In that same area, I had to turn the TimeZone support off, sync with my mac, turn it back on again, then sync again. However, BEFORE I synced in that last step, I chose the option to overwrite the calendar on the iPhone with the information from my mac. That option is found in iTunes.

Events in iCal doubled after use of iSync and Nokia 6300

Hi,
I’ve got a problem with the sync though iSync of the Nokia 6300 and iCal on my Mac – a problem which might be related to the imported phoneplugin – but I really don’t think so, as other users doesn't seem to have any problems with this phoneplugin:
http://nokia6300.net/3/isync-and-nokia-6300
The story goes like this:
During sync with iSync somehow over 505 of the events are doubled in both iCal on my PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4. AND in the calender of Nokia 6300. If I sync three times an event is tripled in both iCal and phone etc. It seems like iCal doen’t want to obey the phone during sync – and I always use the phone as my primary source – as far as I know, anyway. iCal is thus used as a backup.
And there is another curious thing going on:
I’ve created my own calender in iCal. Even though I subscribe to Holidays and Weeknumbers in iCal, they are turn of during sync with iSync. But still they emerge in the calender of my Nokia 6300 after sync. As far as I can see, the setup is correct.
If anyone knows how to deal with these issues, I’d be must greatful, as deleting all these extra events in the phone and iCal after each sync is both rather irritating and terrible time consuming.

OK, I've found the answer. I've used the plugin found here (in my case the one for iSync 2.4):

- and it works wonderful. Nokia 6300, iSync and iCal now plays together like a sweet dream!

Motorola KRZR, isync, and, OS 10.4.9 "device not found"

I have had a Motorola KRZR for a few week now and have read it was possible (through a hack) to sync it with ical and addresses through isync. I figured that now the KRZR is supported by the 10.4.9 OS update it would be easy. I plug in my phone through usb to my ibook and open isync and click add device and I get an error that says "no devices found"? I tried both usb ports.
The more I read about this phone and isync the more I get confused. Is there something I'm overlooking? I have the phone on during this...
thanks in advance...
G3 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

apparently there is a way to edit the original plsit file to sync calendars. I've seen that many times on other websites. But I still haven't seen anyone sync the phone via usb like cmoney and I want to do...I hope someone can help. I'm thinking about buying one of those usb blue tooth adapters...maybe that is the way?

Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

How can I move address book information between Address Book and Entourage?

(I have the same question regarding iCal and Entourage.) I have a lot of important information to enter, info that would be very difficult to relocate. I had some problems with iCal awhile back (it started randomly deleting events), so I am trying to figure out which program(s) to use. Since I don't have much experience with these, I would ideally like to be able to start in Entourage since that program seems better laid out for me, but be able to export the information to Address Book and iCal so I can make use of the Address Book widget feature, etc.
Is it realistically possible to export from Entourage into AB and iCal and how do you it?
Also, I have a first generation iPod, and just got an iPod Touch so that I could have access to this information on the go, along with the rather lame "notes" approach to entering information (while I hope for a free upgrade that will allow me to edit my calendar). So I am also trying to figure out:
How do I export Entourage information onto my iPod Touch? Can it be done directly easily now or does it need to go through AB and iCal?
I've done that on my old iPod, but it was very confusing between "identities"?? and remembering exactly how to do it again one I figured it out. I had to locate a copy of Tiger just to manage to get the iPod Touch, so I am grateful for any suggestions of the best way to do this.

''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' <br />
Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar.<br />
The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

Mail AND entourage showing contacts in the order last name, first name?

hi, I want to use mail and entourage parallel. mail can display the name in the "correct" order last name, first name. using entourage I cannot find this option. it´s always a mess, sorted by last name, but in the order: first name last name.
Does somebody know the solution how to tell entourage to behave like mail in this matter ?

Templeton's suggestion is best if needing help with Microsoft Entourage. Since I know the answer is "not possible" I can at least steer you toward an AppleScript that will give you a workaround. Have a look here <http://www.barryw.net/weblog/files/category-5.html>.
Further questions about this script should be directed either to its author or to Microsoft's Entourage newsgroup <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage>.
Hope this helps! bill

ISync and iCal in a loop?

I have recently had to reset my sync history. I now seem to have a problem setting my K800i phone to sync.
Having added the device, when I check the box for calendars, I get a dialogue box saying DO YOU WANT TO USE ICAL AS YOUR CALENDAR APPLICATION. I then click on Open iCal which brings iCal to the front. I then go back to iSync and exactly the same thing happens again when I click to select the calendars syncing.
I have tried removing the device and adding it again, to no avail. Any ideas?

Mac issues with iSync and N95

I have just upgraded to an N95. I run an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 & iSync 2.4 and have installed the Nokia iSync plugin (and the Multimedia Transfer software. I have no SD or SDHC card installed in the N95.
I connect the N95 in PC Suite mode as recommended.
When I click Sync Devices in iSync, contacts are transferred from the N95 to the Mac, but not from the Mac to the N95. This occurs using both the "Merge data..." and "Erase data..." settings in iSync.
As my old phone (Sony Ericsson K800i) and the N95 are not Bluetooth compatible (when are manufacturers going to sort that one out), I have transferred contacts from the K800i to the Mac and want to get them onto the N95 without doing them one by one via Bluetooth on the Mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jollyon!
Sometimes the iSync setup gets a little confused, sometimes there is some problem with the system. Same steps apply for problems with iCal.
Your combination should work perfeclty.
So there are some things to try:
0.) MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ADRESS - BOOK. Adress Book -> Make Backup.
1.) The usual:
- remove the BT pairing in System Settings -> Bluetooth/Devices and o your phone (Menu/connections/BT/devices)
- repair disk permissions with Hard Disk Utility
- re - pair phone and Mac.
If that does not cure your problem, try resetting the Sync - log. iSync -> Settings - Reset Sync Log (do not know the english word for ist...)
If that does not work, create a new group in Adress Book, Quit and restart iSync, klick on your device and look under the Adress - Popup, if your new group is there.
If so, maybe your contacts database is corrupted. Select all contacts, drag them to the Desktop. Warning: If you have groups, you will loose them! (Not the contacts, only the association with the groups)
Quit AddressBook.
Go to: Users/Your user/Library/Application support/AddressBook, copy all the files to your desktop.
Restart AddressBook. Drag teh exported contacts back to the AddressBook - window.
If the new group/calender do not appear in the iSync - prefs,
Quit iSync
Goto Users/Your user/Library/Application support/iSync/ and drag the SyncLocalCopy to your Desktop
Restart iSync.
That schould do the trick...
Happy digging...

ISync and third party software

Having recently purchased a shiny new Intel Macbook (running Tiger
10.4.8), I was keen to get ISync (2.3) working with my Nokia N80. As
usual I've picked a model that isn't supported by ISync. Bah!
So to cut some corners until ISync is updated I have purchased third
party software from Nova Media in Germany.
I had heard that this solution was the best alternative and cost me 10
Euros.
For some reason it won't work.
When setting up the permissions for ICal the check box does not stay
checked.
Nova Media Support were quick to reply with some suggestions:
1: Delete old ISync permissions from Library.
2: Repair ISync using Disk Utility and First Aid
3: Reset Device Sync through ISync.
and a link to resolving this issue within the apple support pages.
(although the answer seemed directed at 10.4.6)
Tryed them all several times with no success.
This as you can appreciate is driving me nuts!!!
Anyone out there had the same problem, or any suggestions on getting
this problem sorted and cheering up my day?

I would expect Subversion 1.7 to work with OPM. Although we tested it specifically against 1.6 and 1.5 Subversion is pretty backwards compatible.
You can choose to installl svn as part of the OPM install. this is SlikSVN 1.6. If you choose not to install it. It will use the existing SVN client available on your machine. It detects this by working out if an svn client can be accessed through the standard windows path.
You can if there is an svn client avaialble by starting a command prompt and typing "svn --version" if it returns something. OPM should use this SVN client.
You don't necessarily need to use TortoiseSvn. TortoiseSvn is essentially an integrated user interface for Subversion in windows.

Isync and Palm conduit conflicts

I use iCal for my calendar and Address Book to maintain my contact info, but I prefer the Palm to-do list over iCal's - is it possible for me to sync this combination of applications? I was once able to do this (by moving conduits disabled by iSync back into my Palm HotSync conduits folder), but this is no longer working. The (apparently) relevant portion of my HotSync Log shows:
Loading “Apple”
Conduit “iSync Conduit” version 3.0.0
Sync type is Fast
iSync Conduit starting 7/6/07 12:12:47 PM
User jkotzen configured for Palm To Do List conduit and corresponding iSync data class, skipping iSync to avoid conflicting modifications 7/6/07 12:12:47 PM
iSync Conduit: Sending Error Response 6: User jkotzen configured for Palm To Do List conduit and corresponding iSync data class 7/6/07 12:12:48 PM
iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting... 7/6/07 12:12:48 PM
OK iSync Conduit
I'm using :
- iSync v2.4 & Mac OS X v10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4,
- Palm Desktop v4.2.2, and
- a Palm Treo 680
Any advice?
thank you!

It is actually possible to do what you want, but an an additional step is required since the release of Mac OS X 10.4.
A quick review…
What you want to do essentially violates the unwritten 'rule of conduits' which states that you cannot simultaneously synchronize a given data type with more than one conduit. iSync will synchronize contact, event and task data only with the Address Book and iCal. In general, if you wish to synchronize such data with the Palm Desktop, you must cease using iSync and revert to the Palm Desktop.
It is possible, however, to configure your machine to synchronize contacts with the Palm Desktop and events and tasks with iCal, or—as you wish—contacts with the Address Book and events and tasks with iCal.
In order to do so, launch iSync and select your Palm device in the main window. In the drop-down pane which appears, be sure that you disable event and task synchronization by deselecting the Calendars category, but leave the Contacts category enabled. Then quit iSync, and remove the com.apple.isync.plist file from this folder:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Preferences
Do not remove the co-located com.apple.isync.registry.plist file.
[Don't launch iSync again until you have completed the steps outlined below.]
Make sure that these conduits are in the active Conduits folder:
• Calendar Conduit
• Datebook Conduit
• Tasks Conduit
• ToDo Conduit
NOTE: While this has nothing to do with your issue—if you have not already done so—move the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit back into the active folder [from which the iSync Palm Conduit installation process previously removed them] to restore memo synchronization to the Palm Desktop.
In addition, the iSync Palm Conduit should be in the active Conduits folder.
These conduits should not be, and instead should be stored in the Disabled Conduits folder:
• Address Conduit
• Contacts Conduit
Once these conduits are arranged in the active and disabled folders, you may launch iSync and it will synchronize your contacts with the Address Book, and your events and tasks will be synchronized with the Palm Desktop instead of with iCal.

ISync and the Nokia 6500s

Father Christmas has just given me a shiny new Nokia 6500s, trouble is it isn't compatible with iSync. I have tried a couple of of the previous suggestions in the forums, this one http://www.novamedia.de/epages/e_produkte_mac_isyncplugins.html does not support the 6500s as it states. Any advice gratefully received, otherwise I will have to spend the next two weeks uploading my 500 contacts.

Hi,
i own a 6500 slide too and so i am interested in a free isync-6500s-solution too.
There are plugins available. Go to http://www.mactomster.de/isync/
and you can buy them for round about 10€.
On http://www.disappearhere.com/?p=163 you will find a free isync plugin. The author says, that it isnt working anymore (due to updates of OSX or whatever). Please tell me, if you get it working.
Good luck an happy new year, gum911.

ISync and Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

Another year, another cat (I'm still waiting for "Tabby"). Would greatly appreciate anyone that has installed, or is planning to install Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) trying out iSync, and letting us know whether it still functions in the limited "no-iCloud" way that it does using OS X v10.7. Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am on Lion and have transferred to iCloud but I can perform a one-time upload of my current Apple Address Book to my Nokia phone using iSync. Some of this may work in Mountain Lion.
After you move to iCloud you no longer have an address book 'On My Mac', so there is nothing for iSync to see to sync from.
What I do (not my idea originally, read it somewhere) is create a new user on my Mac, called 'Nokia', and don't enable iCloud for that user. Then, back in my own user account:
Open Address Book
Select All entries
Option-drag to a folder in the Shared folder on the Mac (in Users folder); this creates a VCF file for every contact.
Switch to user Nokia
Open (empty) Address Book for this account, delete single Apple addresscard.
Drag in all the VCF cards from the folder in Shared, this populates the Address Book.
Run iSync, add device (your phone), set iSync prefs to overwrite phone's data on first sync.
On the Nokia phone, in Contacts, 'Mark all' contacts and delete, or 'Delete All' if your phone has that.
Run iSync by Bluetooth connection to your phone in this Nokia user account.
Sounds a bit overkill, but a new user account on a Mac doesn't take up much disk space if it only has an Address Book in it.

ISync and Palm : difficult

Hello,
There are 2 pbs :
* there is no way to have the palm icon being displayed in the isync front windows
* when the sync is started directly from the palm, it does not sync properly the phone number : as there is no more any way to reinitialise the palm with the data from the computer (as isync can't access the palm), it syncs in the 2 directions. Then the data from the palm generate a resynchro for 250 phone numbers (the home phone are ste as work phone in address book) out of my 560 contacts.
I have accepted once these modifications, then changed all the numbers in adress book to set them back as home phone... But on the next sync, it asks me again to resynchro the 250 numbers, as if it was syncing only from the palm, and not taking in account the adress bokk modifications...
I have already tried the followings :
* destroying the palm sotware and reinstal it
* destroing the "app support" for isync and palm
* destroyng the pref for isync and palm
I have tried to reinstrall isync, but the 2.3 version seems not available on apple site... (only 1.5, an 2.1 on another site)
Context :
I have re-used my palm after may be 1 year without any use.
I was then in a previous version of OSX on the last sync 1 year ago (I have read things about first isync and 10.4.6... Too late ! )
I have a Palm zire 31

There is no easy way to do this. You must manually reconfigure the conduits each time you want to move from one environment to the other. [But, see the note of caution at the end of this message.] Also, reinstalling the Palm Desktop after iSync is installed and configured can create problems, so if you want to move from one evironment to other, do this:
Locate the active Conduits and Disabled Conduits folders, here:
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
To activate the Palm Desktop, move this conduit to the Disabled Conduits folder:
• Apple [that's the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
To activate the Palm Desktop, move ONLY these conduits to the active Conduits folder:
• Calendar Conduit
• Contacts Conduit
• Memos Conduit*
• Tasks Conduit
The analagous but outmoded Address, Datebook, Memo and ToDo conduits should remain in the Disabled Conduits if they are present at all in your configuration.
*If activated, the Memos conduit will synchronize memos with the Palm Desktop. iSync has no memo function, and the older Memo [singular] conduit should always remain inactive if present.
To reverse the process, do just the opposite to restore iSync and deactivate the Palm Desktop. As explained above, however, leave the Memos conduit active if you wish to synchronize memos at all.
A word of warning: the SyncServices framework is complex, and subject to sudden and unexplained data errors due to corruption of actual data or the handlers which push and pull it to and from the truth database. Every time you act in a manner which increases this complexity—such as moving back and forth from one synchronization environment to another—you greatly increase the likelihood that you will corrupt your data, and you place your synchronization scheme at greater risk of failure.
