Motorola W755 and iSync under 10.6.2

Although I was able to sync my Motorola W755 cellphone with my Macbook under 10.5xxx and even the early versions of 10.6 (using a third-party plugin), it seems that 10.6.2 has broken that. I can sync contacts by not calendar events (iCal.) Has anybody written a workaround for this? It's pretty important to have my calendar in my phone. The plug-in is where it should be. I've even tried reinstalling it. I also tried using Time Machine to restore it. Alas, I can no longer sync the calendar. (Weird that I can sync contacts but not the calendar.) Looking forward to finding someone who can help. Thank you.

I must politely take issue with your assertion that nothing in 10.6.2 would break a plug-in for a Motorola phone, because something certainly changed when I upgraded from 10.6.1
You're assuming something changed from Apple's end. What about the data you're trying to sync. That could've changed.
iSync itself has not changed at all since Mac OS X 10.6 came out. There were no changes to iSync in 10.6.1 or in 10.6.2. It's exactly the same version and build number.
I've repaired permissions to no effect. Is there something else I could try?
Have you tried resetting the sync history in iSync's preferences? Or resetting sync services by alt-clicking the Sync menu bar item?
Often unexplained syncing issues are the result of corruption occurring in one or more contacts or calendars.
If you have multiple calendars set to sync in iSync, try only syncing one at a time until you find the one that causes it to fail.
Then export this calendar from iCal, delete it then re-import it. This export/import process often fixes corruption in events.
What does the iSync log (Window menu in iSync) report when it tries to sync the calendar?

Motorola KRZR and isync problems

I just got my motorola KRZR, paired it with my computer and everything, then when i try to sync my contacts on isync it says "this device is not supported by isync. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something with the phone Im notdoing right? help!

I have the Silver KRZR from Rogers here in Canada and I managed to hack the MetaClasses file so it works! I will post a link to my file below, and also tell you how I made the change.
My file is here: MetaClasses.plist
Do this to make it work:
1. Quit iSync
2. Go to: /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/ PlugIns/Motorola-K1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources
3. Replace the MetaClasses.plist with the one I linked to above
4. Restart iSync - it should work with the phone now.
Again, I have the silver KRZR, so this might not work for you specifically if you have a different one. If it doesn't, here is how you can hack on the MetaClasses.plist file.
1. Connect your phone to your computer with Bluetooth or USB (I used Bluetooth)
2. Open up iSync
3. Try to add a device, and scan for devices. It should come back with your phone and a message saying it is not supported.
4. Quit iSync
5. Open up /Applications/Utilities/Console
6. View the console.log, scroll to the bottom
7. You're looking for some text like this:
{quote:title=console.log :}Bluetooth Device Info Summary:
svc/maj/min class: 721 / 2 / 1
manufacturer: AT+CGMI
+CGMI: "Motorola CE, Copyright 2000"
OK
model number: AT+CGMM
+CGMM: "GSM900","GSM1800","GSM1900","GSM850","MODEL=K1/s"
OK
{quote}
You're looking for the two strings there ("Motorola CE, Copyright 2000", "GSM900","GSM1800","GSM1900","GSM850","MODEL=K1/s") Note the model number at the end of the second string. This is your phone's Model Number and is how iSync will identify it.
8. Go to: /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/ PlugIns/Motorola-K1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources and make a backup of the MetaClasses.plist file
9. Open the MetaClasses.plist file in a text editor
10. Copy everything from <key>com.motorola.K1</key> (line 5) to </dict> (line 34) and paste it immediately below (you can look at my file for an example here). What we're doing is making another type of KRZR K1 subtype. We will be editing this text we just pasted in the steps that follow:
11. Change the <key> line 35 to have your phone Model number instead of K1. My model number is K1/S, so my key line reads: <key>com.motorola.K1/S</key>
12. Change the <string> line 40 to have your gmi+gmm values, which we found in the console log above in step 7. They are probably exactly the same except for the MODEL part at the end.
13. Change the model number in the <string> line 60 to be your model number which we found above. Mine is K1/S, so my line 60 reads: <string>K1/s</string>
14. Save the file and restart iSync
15 Your phone should show up as supported now.
I hope this helps. I have not tried to sync calendars, but Address Book seems to work fine.

Motorola V3r and iSync sends phone contacts to wrong folder

I want to sync my phone to a Group called Cell Phone in my Address Book via iSync. iSync has recognized my phone without a problem but I'm not having any luck directing the phone numbers from my phone to the Cell Phone Group. The phone numbers are going from my phone to the All Group. But it is pulling numbers from the Cell Phone Group and putting them in my phone. ??? In iSync I have the Contacts box checked and I used the drop down menu to specify my Cell Phone group.
Any ideas? Why is it pulling numbers from one group and importing them to another?

Apple have not provided this functionality for some reason.
You will see that there is a "Put events created on the phone into:" but not a "Put Contacts created on the phone into:" pop-up.
I don't know why Apple have not provided this option.
There is no workaround.

Just received this re motorola and isync - not good news

-- Technical status of connections between newer Motorola phones and
iSync --
After evaluating lots of information from users and many tests, the
situation with the new generation of Motorola cellular phones (RAZR,
SLVR, PEBL, others) regarding iSync connection looks to us as follows:
There exist at least three generations of firmware in these phones:
1. Firmware generation (beginning in RAZR V3c) works at least somehow
with iSync. Address book can be synchronized, sometimes problems with
calendar data occur.
2. Firmware generation (e.g. RAZR V3i, V3x, SLVR, PEBL)
With this phones you have no functioning Bluetooth communication to a
Macintosh at all. You can "pair" the Mac and the phone (i.e. exchange
the confirmation codes) but after that registering of services between
them fails. After setting up the Motorola phone with the Bluetooth
Assistant you will get the message "no services available". Because of
that you can neither use iSync to exchange data with these phones via
Bluetooth nor any other Bluetooth service (e.g. Send File, or serial
port communication). This general Bluetooth communication between a
Windows PC and the Motorola phones is working. These phones also don't
react on approaches of iSync to communicate via USB.
3. Firmware generation (e.g. RAZR V3x, V3i, SLVR, PEBL, V557)
In this generation the general Bluetooth communication is working again,
but the data format for strings has been changed by Motorola. In the old
days a name like "Adam" was transfered as an ASCII string. Now they are
hexadecimal encoded, in this example the phone now sends the Hex-Codes
for it: "4164616d". The Interpretation of this data is hard coded inside
the iSync application and by our knowledge can't be modified by a
plugin. Appearently iSync is not able to switch to this other encoding
format automatically.
Because of this current technical situation we don't see any possibility
to implement a plugin solution for these phone models that would satisfy
the Motorola customers.

Issuing the 6xxx series of boxes to a new customer is a poor practise. Infact, no one should be receiving the 6xxx boxes at all. To issue one for new service knowing there is likely to be an unsatisfactory experience, and then tell the customer they need to pay an additional $40 for a new box seems sleazy. Time to retire the 6xxx boxes for good.

I have a new motorola router and modem in one, and I can no longer connect to my airport

Under network preferences it says "AirPort is connected to MOTOROLA-D192D and has the IP address 192.168.0.3., but when I open airport utility, it says there are no airport devices within range for my computer (and the orange light it flashing on the airport).

ajboon wrote:
I assume you mean I need to connect the Airport to the modem using an ethernet cable?
Yes.
ajboon wrote:
Because trying to do it wirelessly is not working...
That's normal. If you want to "extend" a network, an Airport can extend only a WiFi created by another Airport, not a non-Apple device. The only wireless connection that you can make to the Motorola WiFi is a "join" for the purpose of providing an AirPlay connection.

Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
"W810i
iSync can not connect to this device".
Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

Nokia Mural (6750) and isync

I've been looking and can't find: Is it possible to sync Ical with my Nokia 6750? I know I"ll have to get a compatible usb cable, but before I buy that, can it be done? Thanks.
Judy

After pairing your Nokia via BlueTooth... start iSync... go to Devices > Add Device while iSync is the active (front most app). You probably already know this...
One anomaly that I have noticed (even with my last Motorola cell phone and iSync) is that sometimes phone numbers, events, etc. will not be deleted when synced again (maybe just me).
If this happens... or if iSync says that your memory is full and that it can not add all of your events... then (after deselecting some of your calendar boxes in iCal, or creating a smaller group phone list in Address Book) I have found that (while iSync is front most app) if you go to the menu bar and select Devices > Reset All Devices... iSync will _erase/reformat_ your Nokia and then only add the newly selected items. And you can continue to trial/error this until you reduce the number of phone numbers and calendar events to fit on the memory card in your Nokia.
Hope this helps.

Motorola K1m/L7c iSync Problems Can not find device USB & Bluetooth

USB Bus recognizes our new Verizon cell phone. We selected phone based on Apple's Compatibility chart listing this phone as compatible with iSync. We have had NO luck in getting iSync to recognize the existance of this phone using USB. When setting up Bluetooth, the system sees the phone - but will not connect to it. What is wrong? Using Mac OS X Version 10.4.9 and iSync version 2.4 (501.2)
This problem is the same on both of our laptops.

Try Windows 8 drivers from Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for your specific Mac.
Also, on the OSX side look in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Bluetooth and post the hardware information so non-Apple drivers can also be located/tested.

My problem is, is that I have backed it up, but am unable to remove the message, and whilst the message is there, the iPad is frozen, and I cannot do anything.
Has any other user had such a problem, and if so, how did they rectify it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

I had an app created by a friend and submitted under his name as the developer. We need to transfer the app to me. I wanted to confirm the current proceedure for transferring ownership of an app.

I had an app created by a friend and submitted under his name as the developer. He is no longer doing apps so we need to transfer ownership of the app to me under my name. I found an explaination from June 11, 2013 from The App Store team and wanted to confirm if this is the current proceedure. (see below) Thank you.
"Starting June 11, 2013 this has officially become possible. Here's the official note:
Dear developer,
Apps can now be transferred from one developer to another within iTunes Connect, for example after an acquisition or when a distribution deal expires. Transferring the ownership of an app does not affect the app’s availability on the App Store. All ratings and reviews will be transferred and your customers will continue to have access to all available app updates.
To transfer an app, go to the app’s App Summary page in the Manage Your Applications module on iTunes Connect and click Transfer App. Make sure that:
• Your account is active
• You have accepted the most current version of your contracts
• Your app has at least one approved version
• Your app is in the Ready for Sale, Invalid Binary, Rejected, Developer Rejected, or Developer Removed from Sale state
• Any associated In-App Purchases are in the Ready to Submit, Ready for Sale, Rejected, Developer Removed from Sale, or Approved state
• You know the Apple ID of the recipient’s Team Agent and their Team ID.
For more information on app transfer, see the video tutorial on iTunes Connect. To find answers to common questions about app transfer, see the FAQ on iTunes Connect.
