Isync and Motorola L2

I have paired my Motorola L2 phone with my MacBook (unibody) and isync will not add contacts from my phone address book to the MacBook address book, however my contacts in my address will appear in my phone address book. The Apple web site says the L2 is supported. I have seen discussions where someone had the opposite problem, but mine is the opposite. Any suggestions? Thanks.

ISync and Motorola Razr2 V9 problem

Hi all,
I know there was a similar thread, but it's been archived so I can't post there. I just got a Motorola Razr2 V9x and tried to sync it with my Mac. I know I need a plugin for this. I have the plugin and iSync recognizes the phone. Whenever I try to sync I get an error message:
Connection to the phone failed.
Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
The phone is on of course and restarting it doesn't help. When I try syncing iSync starts the process and the Bluetooth indicator light on the phone blinks briefly, then I get the error message. Any ideas what's wrong?

I just replaced my v400 after several years, a long service life for a cell phone.
Anyway, I never had a problem with iSync, except that at first I didn't "point" it to the Address Book directory I wanted to sync with. Are you sure the new entries are in the directory (or group) that you're syncing with? Click on the v400 icon in the iSync window and double check the Contacts drop down box.

ISync and Motorola RAZR

I have one of the original RAZR's and a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. I've been using Motorola Phone Tools on a PC and syncing with Outlook without issue. When I bought my Mac, I wanted to sync with it instead. Tried exporting contacts from Outlook and importing in Address Book. No dice. Created entries from scratch. I deleted all contacts off my phone and used iSync. Many entries not copied to phone, and MANY entries in Address Book lose their numbers and addresses. I re-sync with Phone Tools to get original contacts back on my phone, and then match up entries from Address Book and phone manually. Did this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0 <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0>
Then run iSync again, and I get duplicate entries on both the phone and in Address Book. For a company that wants people to switch from PC's to Macs, this doesn't work very well.

The Verizon Wireless-supplied Motorola RAZR V3c is explicitly supported only by the latest release of iSync—version 2.2—which is a part of the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update. Prior to this release it was not, but could be used with the addition of third-party plug-ins.
However, there are three significant limitations inherent in this handset:
1. Calendar synchronization is not supported. This is a Verizon issue and may be resolved in future firmware updates from Verizon.
2. Verizon has reverted to its long-standing practice of disabling the Bluetooth OBEX profile, so that files cannot be exchanged between your handset and your Macintosh. They do this to preserve their ongoing revenue stream from pay-to-transfer options like Get it Now. Initially, this handset inexplicably did not have the OBEX profile disabled, but that 'oversight' has been 'corrected' in subsequent releases.
3. The V3c is a V CAST device, and as such, cannot be used as a CDMA wireless modem to connect to the internet. Many Verizon-supplied mobile handsets and smartphones do include a DUN [Dial Up Networking] profile, but V CAST devices do not. I mention this because the lack of DUN support may be a 'deal breaker' for Verizon subscribers like you.

Read through this post,

especially the last few exchanges and see if you find a solution. Resetting the iSync prefs AND deleting the noted directory files MAY be the answer.
I hope this works.

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?

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.
PowerBook G4 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GB RAM

OK, I've found the answer. I've used the plugin found here (in my case the one for iSync 2.4):
http://www.s60themes.co.uk/
- and it works wonderful. Nokia 6300, iSync and iCal now plays together like a sweet dream!

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

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...

WLC 5508 and Motorola Symbol Handheld issue

Hi everyone, i have a weird problem and i hope you can help me guys!!
I have just migrate a Symbol-based autonomous wireless network to a Cisco Controller-based environment and everything apparently was working fine. However a few weeks later the installation was over, my customer reported they can't access to a server's shared folder.
This WLAN environment is installed in a warehouse and it is meant to support two different types of users: Regular Lap Top users and Motorola-Symbol Handhels. There are two SSIDs with static security methods (one with WPA+PSK and the other with static WEP key), Handhelds are joined to the SSID with static WEP key. So, here's the deal, this handhelds can join the network without any connectivity issues, roaming, signal strenght, etc. They can also ping everywhere. The problem is that when they need to access a server's shared folder and download files, handhelds displays a bad network path error message. If you do the same with a lap top, you can access the server´s folder with no problems. The handheld model is a Motorola-Symbol 9090 with Windows CE operating system version 5.0. Cisco infraestructure is as follows: WLC5508 running OS version 7.0.116.0 and AIR-LAP1142N-N-K9 series Access Points. In adition, i made a lab back in the office, and reproduce the problem. I tested with an autonomous AP same model and I can actually access a server's folder with no issue but int the very moment i test with a controller-based network i get the same result. I have made several changes in both, handheld and controller, based on a Cisco document for Motorola-Symbol and Cisco best practices. I also have placed a sniffer on my network but I can´t see any traffic when joined throught controller's WLAN. I placed it in the link between WLC and switch and between the switch and the Cisco AP.
Thank you all in advance
Rogelio

Mario:
I am glad that it worked.
well, enabling boradcast/multicast is not recommended if it is not bieng used. It saves bandwidth if it is disabled. However, if it is needed you can enabled it.
BTW, what I know with old versions (before 7.0.116.0) that enabling broadcast only does not work unless you enable multicast as well.
enabling multicast:
# config network multicast global enable.
I worked with one customer before where enabling the broadcast does not work until multicast is also enabled. Do you have the multicast config globally enabled already?

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

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.
