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.

File transfer between IMAC and Motorola RAZR V3c

I recently replaced my defective Verizon RAZR phone with a new RAZR v3c. Previously, I was able to exchange music, video and pic files readily by dragging and dropping via bluetooth. The new phone pairs up w/ bluetooth but an error message appears stating the device "does not have the necessary services". Is there a way to transfer these files even w/o bluetooth if necessary? I've been reading for hours and haven't found a solution. Please HELP!! Thanks

Bad news... Verizon disabled that "feature" of your phone. I guess they did it to try to force subscribers to buy more ringtones and use more data transfers. It might depend on the exact firmware version. There's some info on it here:
http://blog.wired.com/music/2006/07/verizonrazrca.html
And a (somewhat daunting) wiki tutorial on how to replace the Verizon $oftware with the original phone software from Alltel:

Oh wait, just found this... apparently you can take it to a Verizon store and have them update the firmware:

Midilab,
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.

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 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.

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...

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?

Very disappointed with Motorola Razr M AND VZW Run Around

I got the Motorola Razr M last December. I picked the Motorola M because it was a nice compact size without compromising screen size and Motorolas are very durable phone....or so I thought. I have had nothing but problems with this model phone. I am on my 6th replacement. I have had software problems and hardware problems. Two "certified" replacement phones have had hardware defects upon being sent out to me. The rest have had numerous software problems. Verizon has been good about sending out replacement phones since I was under my 1 year manufacturers warranty..until this week when I asked if i could get a different phone sent out since this models seems to have so many problems. I got a major run around and no follow up by a "management supervisor" who told me she would work directly with me to resolve the situation...she even gave me her direct number but ended up not being her number when I tried to call back. I am not pleased with the way VZW has decided to handle this as I have been a loyal customer for 11 years. I do blame the reps...I know they are doing their jobs with the boundaries that are set for them. I just want a phone to work for the remainder of my contract with VZW. I even tried to contact Motorola and they said since I bought the phone through VZW I had to work with VZW for replacements. SO VERY FRUSTRATING!

You have actually helped me with a decision that has been driving me crazy for the past week. I do not need nor do I want all or most of the above you mentioned. Heck I hardly use half of that stuff on my home computer or I-pad. I will definately stay with my basic phones that I can get calls, texts and take pictures. Thanks again.

Why the long wait between the pre-order date and the shipping date of the Motorola Razr??????????

I don't understand Why Verizon made the shipping date for the Motorola razr two full weeks after the pre-order date? Versus what it did with the iphone 4s where the dates were only 1 week a part. I order it on the 27th.

I know I really can't wait to get the phone. I was hoping it might come a little earlier than the 10th but probably not.

Motorola RAZR verizon photo transfer to my Macbook pro, HELP

Hello. I have a Motorola Razr from Verizon. I have the USB cable hooked into my computer and the phone charges up just fine. I'm trying to access some pictures i have on the phone and am unable to get them to my Macbook Pro. I've even tried setting up the device via Bluetooth, but the i get a "Device does not have the necessary services" warning.
Is there any way I can access my photos which are on the camera and get them over to my computer??
Please help.
thanks,

Motorola Razr V3c calendar sync with 10.4.6

With the release of 10.4.6 and iSync 2.2 their is support for syncing contacts on a Motorola Razr V3c but not iCal.
Here is a link to a fix to allow you at your own risk to enable iCal syncing, it worked for me, but it doesn't support all day events.
http://www.briantoth.com/razr_v3c/editmeta.php
Modifications to your iSync application are done at your own risk. Back up iSync before messing with it. one note where he says change to yes it should be change false to true.

This worked for me–one thing that should be noted is that Brian notes to change the "supportsCalendarsSync" to "yes"–whereas it should be changed from "false/" to "true/".

Address Book: 10.4.3 broke SMS for Nokia 6600 and Moto Razr

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.3 I could not send SMS
messages or dial when paired to my Nokia 6600, button turns blue.
This feature worked fine with 10.3.3, at least iSync still works...
Also with a new Motorola Razr, I could sync but couldn't
connect with Address Book, the Bluetooth button does not
even turn blue. Needless to say that it is not possible to
send SMS or dial.
My bluetooth software and firmware is up to date and I am
using the Apple built-in Bluetooth interface
Apple support, please help!
Thank you,
Andrea

Exact same problem here with my Razr V3.
It's disappointing that the phone is featured in a photo on the iSync page, but is not supported in Address Book.
Take a peek at Address Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.Bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommand Sets.plist .
So, who knows the proper strings for the Razr V3? I wonder if they can be pulled from BluePhoneElite. .

Importing Phonebook from Motorola Razr

I have a Motorola Razr and want to import my entire phonebook into Address Book. I have bluetooth and isync setup but can't seem to get the numbers off the phone into Address Book. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I've been doing a little bit of searching and found this site:
http://mac.themotoguide.com/getconnected.php
If you use a Verizon Razr, it's a very complicated process in which you have to reflash your phone to a different firmware, and mod it to be able to use the verizon network. This is because Verizon altered the firmware on the razr so that you can't connect it to a computer (because they want you to BUY their ringtones, etc.) Any company that would do something like that won't get my business. I use Cingular, and the Cingular razrs should be able to connect fairly easy using the above link's instructions.
EDIT: I just found some additional info. Apparantly you can sync your phone with Apple iSync (built into Tiger.)

Bluetooth Portege 4010 - probs connecting to samsung and motorola phones

I have a portege 4010 with bluetooth. I am trying to connect to our two phones - a samsung sgh-e370 (newish) and a motorola V600 (2 yrs old). Both have BT. I have downloaded and installed the latest Tosh BT stack (4.0.something). Device Manager shows four tosh drivers under BT - all are OK. I have enabled discovery and permit connection on the tosh. I have done the same on the phones. When I run the "Add new Connection" wizard on the tosh, it finds both phones and they show up under devices in BT manager with the names I gave them on the actual phones. However, neither phone picked the tosh up and did not show the tosh as requesting the pin numbers on the phones.
The net result is I now have both phones showing up in BT manager, but if I click on either and choose use/connect I get back the error "Connection failed"
If I try to find the portege using the phones, the samsung finds it but the motorola does not. I can't get the motorola to pair with the tosh - it justs says "Unable to pair with portege".
Any help gratefully received.

Hello
I really don't know what is problem in your case but I have done this few times with my Motorola RAZR V3 and it works fantastic. The whole thing was finished for 1 minute. I hope you do this in right order but I write to you which steps I have done:
1. activate Bluetooth using FN+F8 key combination
2. install all new hardware components if necessary (few of them)
3. start Bluetooth stack
4. activate the Bluetooth on the mobile phone (discoverable)
5. choose Express mode > Next
6. Choose visible device listed in 'Bluetooth device list' > Next
7. Choose pass key for identification (1234)
8. Enter the key into mobile phone. Paring will be success
I have done it on this way and now I can send all documents to my Tecra. If you want to use it as modem you must do this:
1. After paring Go to Next and configure the internet connection
(provider number) > Finish
2. the new connection will be created in Bluetooth stack utility
3. you can start the dialing up with double click or click with right mouse button and choose 'Connect'

Can't make or receive calls - Motorola Razr Maxx

My wife and I can not make or receive calls on our Motorola Razr Maxx phones. We can receive and send texts. We have turned off our phones and restarted to no avail. We are in the Metro Atlanta area.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you both. I just had a chat with VZW support, and there seems to be an issue in the area. I would think the SIM card solution would work if it were just one phone, however, both my phone and my wife's have the same issue.
Thanks for the responses.
