ISync shows Nokia phone as "unknown" after 10.4.9 upgrade

iSync hasn't worked with my Nokia 6111 (Series 40) phone since I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.9. Everything was working just fine before. My phone just comes up as "unknown" and sync attempts return a "No device activated" error.
Following related answers to this problem, I've tried the following steps:
- delete Bluetooth pairing from Bluetooth Preferences and my phone
- in iSync: File -> Remove Device
- verify that ~/Library/Phones/ is empty (it was)
- delete com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.isync.plist from ~/Library/Preferences
- delete syncState.plist and sync.plist from ~/Application Support/iCal
- restart the Mac and the phone
- readd phone in Bluetooth Preferences, select "Set up iSync to transfer contacts and events"
When I do the above, the phone repeatedly comes up as "unknown" in iSync, and when trying to sync it again shows "No device activated..." as an error.
Even stranger, today I tried pairing my phone with my new iMac at work - on a clean install of 10.4.9 that had no previous iSync profiles or Bluetooth pairings. It worked perfectly.
Are there some other preference or support files that I should be deleting? Out of sheer optimism, I haven't yet tried (a) factory-resetting the phone and (b) clean-reinstalling my Mac OS.
Thanks...

  • Phone Number Unknown after ios5 Update?!

    I am also having facetime and imessage problems.  I can only use facetime if using email. However, when I went into 'settings', then 'phone', my phone number is listed as 'unknown'.  Before the ios5 update, my actual phone number was listed.  I am unable to change this, and have already tried the system restore with no luck.  Help?

    I had already attempted to resolve the issue using those tips; however since it's a generic error message it could be for anything, and no, nothing i tried worked.

  • ISync unable to sync up calendar after 10.4.9 upgrade

    Not sure if this is related to the 10.4.9 upgrade i did. I used to be able to use iSync to sync up address book and calendar with my Sony Ericsson K608i. Now i can still sync up the address book but the calendar synchronization is failing.
    This is the error in iSync:

    I've tried removing the device from iSync, then doing a bluetooth setup device to add it in again and selecting reset device on first sync. It didn't help.
    I then tried syncing individual calendars. That worked for all but one calendar, so I presumed there's a specific event on that calendar which is causing the problem.
    So then I cleaned up that calendar by deleting all old entries and reentering some others that were non-trivial. That seems to have fixed it.
    I also sync with a Palm using Missing Sync 5.1.2.

  • 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):
    http://www.s60themes.co.uk/
    - and it works wonderful. Nokia 6300, iSync and iCal now plays together like a sweet dream!

  • I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

    I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

    Is the app checked in the Apps tab of iTunes?  That's how you tell iTunes whether you want the app on your phone or not.
    Otherwise, check the very last screen on the phone.

  • HT4623 my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    my phone does not show up in my computer after update

    Hey there, i got the same Problem with my MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.4) and two iPhone´s 5 with the iPad 2 and the iPad Air, (all with iOS 7.1.2) since 2months. SOLUTION???
    Since the change of Snow Leopard on Mavericks, the entire system of the MacBook is much slower. This is already noticeable at the beginning (start the MacBook Pro). It runs through the entire software. z.Bsp. Open Safari / Outlook, iTunes and more. for about 2months absolutely no back-up of my devices is possible!!
    Every time when you connect the hardware (iPhone 5 / iPad 2 / iPad Air) iTunes stops responding and needs to close above EXIT NOW!! No back-up's my hardware (see above) possible!!!
    but iPhoto is running with the devices and at least I can transfer the images.

  • How do I transfer contacts from my old Nokia phone to my new iPhone?

    My old phone is a Nokia 2330c-2. My new phone is an iPhone4

    Please how do I transfer Contacts from old Nokia N8 to my new iPhone 4S?
    Yes there is,
    Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
    Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
    Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.

  • RisPort and Phones in unknown state

    Has anybody managed to get phones in unknown status from the RisPort? Both on CCM 5.1.3 and 6.1.1a I only get phones in other states.. but those pesky unknown phones are quite crucial to my application.

    Was this PO added manually? I have found that agents I add manually will
    always show unknown after a restart of Monitor, and if I delete them and
    readd they start working again. If this is your issue, then there is a bug
    already logged for this.

  • I refuse to buy nokia phone with less than 1500 mA...

    I realized this after latest addition of E52 with 1500 mAh battery So far, i have purchased about 30 or so Nokia handsets during past 14 years.
    The battery Life of E52 is just marvelous. simply amazing. Cant imaging how I survived 14 years exclusively using Nokia phones with less than 1500 mAh battery.
    The new touch screen phones like the latest N-800 with HDMI Port has only 1200 mAh battery!!! why not put a 2100 mAh battery on such a beauty? people are going to use the phones more than just making call, this demands more battery power. 1200 mAh battery will last less than a day.... People, expecially myself will be dissapointed in using such a phone with so less battery power.
    Granted these days processors are more efficient, but wont it be good if Nokia puts little more juice to their most beautiful touchscreen handsets?
    Having less battery power is the main reason i have been holding off my purchase of touch screen phones like N900, and now this N-8.
    Please Nokia, please try to put the best in it's class battery for the best in it's class phones.
    Even the iPhone 4G has (1200 mAH) less capacity battery than my E52.
    My E52 goes on and on for weeks together without charging. On heavy usage it easily lasts for 1 full week!... (never been like this for any of the previous nokia phones...) especially the top of the end models like my old N82
    So far, I am very happy with my E52. Wish some thing similar i.e. slim E series comes with touch screen soon.

    Hello kmschmehl-
    I cannot truly express how sorry I am to hear about your total experience with the delivery and subsequent return of this fridge.  It certainly sounds as though Best Buy has put you through the ringer and I can absolutely understand your disappointment and anger with us.
    While it sounds like some aspects of the purchase and delivery were at least adequate, any opportunity that we had to show you why you should purchase from Best Buy went by the wayside.  However, Best Buy is not in the business to provide merely adequate experiences and I am saddened that this is the best we could summon for your purchase.  We are capable of better than what we showed you.
    I’m glad to hear that you have finally been able to get the assistance you needed to get this refund resolved and make you whole again.  In addition, I do hope that you are enjoying the fridge you purchased at Lowe’s.  I certainly wish that it had been a Best Buy fridge in your kitchen instead, but I can understand why you chose to go with another retailer.
    It sounds like the store has you in good hands once your card arrives and I believe that the reason they need the physical card is that the credit card company requires it to be physically scanned for returns.  Hopefully you will not run into any further issues with this refund and it’s my hope that sometime in the future, you might grant us another chance at your business.  I will be sending you a Private Message with some additional details as well.  To check your Private Messages, please log into the forum and click on the envelope in the upper right hand corner.
    Please let us know if you run into any further concerns.
    Sincerely,
