Nokia and isync - not!

hi

was working last night have done nothing to the machine or the phone - has anyone experienced this or have an idea what is wrong?!
thanks

Welcome to the Discussions dicrazzle.
Did you got to http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/isyncplugins.html and install the pluging for your phone?
If you have, please supply some more information:
Your system info?
How many other bluetooth devices are also paired with this system?

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.

Nokia and iSync

Why do some Nokias work well with iSync and others do not?
In response to a recent post of mine, one respondent said his N91 worked great and another person said his E70 did not work well at all?
Can anyone explain this discrepancy?

The phone to sync every time I ask it too.
Of course! 99% of the time this should always be the case, and in my experience with Sony Ericsson phones is always the case. It's impossible to guarantee perfect syncing 100% of the time. Like any computer file, data corruption is a (rare) possibility. However, in over 5 years of iSync-ing Sony Ericsson phones, I've only had a few minor issues which I sorted out in a few minutes.
I don't want the hassle of having to pair and unpair and pair again the
handset to the computer to get them to work together.
You should never have to do this. Pairing once is enough. I've personally owned 8 Sony Ericsson handsets and had access to and used dozens more, and only ever had to pair them once on each computer I've used them with.
I expect the calendar interface of the handset to accurately represent what
is represented in iCal. And for it to be easy to enter data in to the handset's
calendar interface.
Due to the different screen sizes between a phone and a Mac, you'll never get a totally accurate representation of what's in iCal. It just isn't possible on such a small screen. Also, most mobile phones show multiple calendars from iSync on a single calendar in the phone.
However, I find the Calendar in Sony Ericsson phones to be excellent. I've never had any issues, and entering data is as quick and easy as I would expect. Just a few button presses and typing to set-up events.
I want ALL data fields of Address Book to transfer over to the handset.
Name, Company Name, multiple phone numbers, email, postal address, notes.
All the current Sony Ericsson models will sync the following:
Address Book data:
First & Last Name
Mobile Number
Home Number
Work Number
Fax Number
Other Number
Home Address
Work Address
Home Email Address
Work Email Address
Other Email Address
Website Address
Birthday
Address Book Notes
iCal data:
Event title/subject
Event location
Event start time/duration
Event date
Event note/description
Event alarm
All day events
Repeating events
To-Do title
To-Do priority
To-Do completed
To-Do due date
To-Do alarm/reminder
To-Do note
If this is what I expect of iSync which handset should I get?
I would recommend any of the current (non-Symbian) Sony Ericsson models.
From the Apple supported models, the K800i has the best spec (higher-res screen and camera).
Then there are an additional 19 models supported by iSync Phone Plugins from here.
The K800 and K810 have 240x320 resolution screens.
The Contact and Calendar functions are pretty standard across the whole Sony Ericsson range, and all will sync all the data listed above. Some of the lower end models don't differentiate between Home, Work & Other Email Addresses (although it syncs all of them, it just doesn't say which is which!).
Another thing to be aware of is that the fields in the Contact data do have character limits. For instance, Name is limited to 62 characters. Street, City, State, Zip Code. etc are 25 characters each. Web Address is 120 characters.
Personally, I've been using both a K800i and K510i for the past year, and have just got a W610i as my day-to-day phone. Although the W610i is technically lower specification than the K800i, I actually prefer it because its smaller, thinner and not so chunky!
It's also very easy to set-up Sony Ericsson phones as a modem for internet access for your Mac. They play (DRM-free) iTunes tracks no problem, you can use them as a Bluetooth Remote Control for your Mac (see Salling Clicker), and SMS and manage Calls direct from the Mac Address Book on them.

Nokia 6300, iSync, and Contact Photos-

Thanks to the following links, I was able to get my new Nokia 6300 to successfully sync with my Mac’s Address Book via iSync:
http://klauskjeldsen.dk/2007/06/08/free-nokia-6300-isync-plugin/
http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia-6300-isync-plugin
http://brent.kearneys.ca/technology/2007/how-to-sync-a-nokia-6300-on-osx/
http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.html
Unfortunately, two things didn’t sync up: Birthdays and Contact Photos. After politely asking people if there was any way to get these to work (especially photos, as it’s nice to see someone’s picture pop up on the phone for faster recognition before you unceremoniously reject them) I tried to tackle this one on my own. I was able to dig around in the plist files of the Nokia N93 and glean the few lines that make both of these details available to the Nokia 6300 plugin.
Before we begin however, I’ve noticed some problems that can occur with Photo syncing. PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY before continuing: it’ll save some head-banging and frustration later.
Failing to follow the following guidelines will result in a completely failed sync. Should this happen, I simply deleted all of my contacts on the phone (phone memory, not SIM card), tried to determine the problem, and tried again.
Also, note that if you do end up deleting all of the contacts on your phone, you’ll also lose your 1-touch dialing and the entries in your caller groups (but not the groups themselves).
Here we go:
Do not use .GIF files — JPG only! (I didn’t test PNG)
You cannot drag-and-drop from a web-page directly onto a contact. Although this works for Address Book in that you’ll see the ‘image edit’ window pop-open, and you can save your contact, when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. If you want to use someone’s image (from Facebook, for example) simply drag the photo you want from the web-page onto your desktop, and then drag the photo from your desktop onto the Address Book entry’s ‘contact photo’ area. You’re then free to delete the image from your desktop.
You cannot sync with a ’smart group’ that you created within Address Book. This has more to do with iSync than the new plugin, but it’s a pain nonetheless. Physical groups only!
When a sync fails, you are not told what failed, or why it failed. iSync detailed logs are useless too, stating only:
5:28:24 PM Error [Nokia 6300] An unexpected error occured.
5:28:24 PM Error Device "Nokia 6300" synchronization failed
Fun! What I did was create a ‘temp’ group, set iSync to sync with that folder only for contacts, and then slowly add contacts into that temp group until a failure occurred so that I knew what the offending entry was.
The plugin that I’ve created is essentially just the one from the site listed above, but with some additional properties put into the PhoneContuit.plist and SyncEngine.plist files.
As with everyone else, I take no responsibility if this completely fcks up your phone or Address Book, but please do backup both your Address Book (File -> Back Up Address Book…) and your phone’s contacts (I typically just copy everything to SIM). I can say that this has worked fine for me for a day now, with a fair bit of testing. After I cleaned up my offending image-entries, it’s been great.
To install: Quit iSync, download the following zip file, and drag-and-drop the plugin into your system using the shortcut, and sync away.

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.

Nokia 6620 and iSync

For the past year, I have been syncing my iMac with my Nokia 6620. Tonight, I get an error message. The iSync log gives the following:
8:22:02 PM Connecting to Nokia 6620
8:22:02 PM Device “Nokia 6620” connected
8:22:02 PM Receiving changes from “Nokia 6620”.
8:22:03 PM “Nokia 6620” Receiving changes complete
8:22:03 PM “Nokia 6620” Processing changes…
8:22:18 PM “Nokia 6620” Engine processing complete
8:22:18 PM Applying changes to “Nokia 6620”
8:22:20 PM Error [Nokia 6620] An unexpected error occurred.
8:22:20 PM Error Device “Nokia 6620” synchronization failed.
It appears there is something wrong with the Nokia 6620. I have reset the phone several times but, I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What you perceive as a problem is actually a feature - a consequence of shifting synchronization of all servers, applications and devices to the SyncService framework. Now, iTunes is configured to interact with the truth database maintained by SyncServices to synchronize iPods, .Mac Sync handles a similar interaction to synchronize with .Mac, and iSync is relegated to handling mobile handsets and Palm handheld organizers and smartphones.
In the same manner, applications like iCal and the Address Book interact with the SyncServices framework, as do many third-party applications like MySync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS, DayLite, and others.
If your mobile handset is not connected via Bluetooth or USB, or iSync is not running when you initiate a synchronization event using the HotSync icon, or the button on your cable or cradle, then your device will not be synchronized until it is 'attached' and iSync is launched. This update occurs because the SyncServices engine is aware that the device exists and was not available during the prior event. As soon as becomes available, the update takes place.
If you want your mobile handset to be simultaneously synchronized when you synchronize your Palm device, then you must do two things:
• 'attach' it via Bluetooth or USB, and
• launch iSync prior to initiating the HotSync

Nokia E65 and iSync

Hi all
Until a few days ago everything went fine using a third party plugin. After executing the Security Update 2008-001 iSync didn't want to sync with my E65 any longer. I tried the original Nokia and several other plugins, but nothing worked.
Is this problem known and/or does anybody have a solution?
Thank you very much in advance!

There's possibly some corrupt data in one or more of your Contacts or Calendars.
Try syncing only Contacts and then only Calendars and see if it will sync one but not the other. That will tell you where the corruption is.
Then have a look here for the procedure for identifying and fixing the corrupt items.

Isync transfers data to Ical from Nokia 5800, but not the other way round

When I sync my Nokia 5800 using Isync, diary entries from my phone are moved onto my Mac, but entries made on my Mac are not transferred to my phone. This leaves my phone calendar without any entries. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug? Does anyone know how to transfer this data back into my phone? My contacts swap both ways no problem. I have installed the Nokia 5800 app. Many thanks.

I'm not sure what else to suggest. As the Nokia 5800 is not natively supported by iSync you must be using an iSync Plugin, so I'd advise contacting the author of the plugin - it may be buggy and need fixing.

ISync and phones not suported ...yet?

I just got a Nokia 6133, but iSync does not support this phone yet. What are my options? Wait for Apple to update iSync (not sure when that will happen)? or download this iSync phone plugin v3.3.3 (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29029&mode=feedback)??? any recommendations?

I tried the second suggestion, i.e. download and run script and then I ran iSync and it still did not recognize
- this is what was in my terminal window after running the last command:
Backing up your old MetaClasses.plist to /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncde
vice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses .plist.bak
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ...directory
./isync6133.sh: line 7: vice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModeIsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasse s.plist: No such file or directory
./isync6133.sh: line 8: vice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModeIsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasse s.plist.bak: No such file or directory
File backed up. Now we're going to download the new file.
curl: (3) <url> malformed
./isync6133.sh: line 13: vice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasse s.plist: No such file or directory
Success! Please restart iSync.

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.

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why? What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?
What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?
Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported?

How are you attempting to connect them?
Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
1 From the Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
security type.
5 If required, enter a password.
6 Tap Save.
7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
8 computers or other devices.
8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
your data connection via Wi-Fi®
When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

Nokia 5800 and iSync

Hi,
I would like to know when it is released plug-in to recognize the Nokia 5800 with iSync
Thanks !
Daniele

There is no schedule. Apple hasn't added any new model support to iSync for over a year. They're leaving new phone support up to third-party iSync plugins.
Try contacting one of the third-party iSync Plugin developers on the page below, to see if and when support for your phone will be available:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2520
Or type "nokia 5800 isync" into Google for some existing options.

Nokia 6650 can not send and recieve via infrared/b...

hello to all members here in nokia and also faculty and staff in nokia.
I'm dennis bendicio from the philippines, I have my nokia 6650 and my brother gave this to me and this unit he brought this in dubhai and i want to download a file and also upload file to my pc but i can not do the thing. is there any idea why my phone can not reacieve a file via bluetooth or even using infrared also? thanks for helping me for this.. have a nice day..

Hallo,Dennis,
the Nokia 6650 has no Infrared, but Bluetooth. You need to switch this feature on (off by default as it consumes some extra power) and then you can move files if you have a BT enabled PC. You need to pair first.
If you want to have it easier, try the Nokia data suite (free on Nokia web) via BT or USB cable, that supports the recognition and file transport as well.
That should work.

Club Nokia and Nokia Sweden not responding on e-ma...

Hallo!
I have few questions about the membership and registration in Club Nokia which the Nokia Care staff could not or didn't want to answer on. The Nokia Sweden support staff didn't even reply to my message. Not only did they not reply on my message concerning the Club Nokia membership, but they never seem to reply on anything, what ever question I ask them. Once there was some technical issue with the Web site and one of the many of my messages didn't seem to have been sent to them. But that can be excused. But what about all the other times I have sent messages to them which they didn't reply on? I have been sending messages (via the e-mail contact form) to Nokia Sweden ever since I bought my first Nokia mobile phone which was like year 2003 or something like that. And they always replied on any concerns I might have had. But during the last like two years right now I was never able to get a reply from them whatever question I brought up, including the question about what's up with them and this behaviour. I have been sending messages to them for two years time period right now, from different computers, even different operating systems, and filling out different e-mail addresses where I want the reply to be sent. But still nothing!
Maybe it will work out better and I may get the reply faster if I send them the message in a bottle?... they are such a****les! This behaviour has changed my whole picture of Nokia as a company and as a brand. It used to be easy and obvious to me before what brand I would buy when I walked out to buy a new mobile phone. But right now if I was about to buy a new mobile phone (have a N73 right now) I would be in some serious doubt whether or not to buy a Nokia phone. Mobile phones of today are not as they were three or five years ago. Today, other manufacurers have developed and improved their product lines quite radically. Simply put: Nokia is not the best brand in the bussiness anymore. A Nokia product is not the only good enough product. Besides, their handhelds are totally useless on a Linux computer. That goes totally against and is contrary to their claimed beliefes and almost heroic proclamation of open source and Symbian OS being the best solution for smartphones which several manufacturers use today in their products. So I might chose a competing brand instead. What ever brand I might chose in the near future (i'm planning to buy a new smartphone or PDA next year) I will definitly take in concern the producers relation with customers. I don't accept the way I have been treated by Nokia Sweden. I could of course have called them on the phone, but that's not an excuse for the e-mail communication to be out of function, out of order, or what ever is going on over there.
E-mail communication is becoming and already is a basis for corporation-customer communication. Many big names in the IT bussiness have solely technical support by e-mail, and nothing else. When they do have technical support by phone, a great part of the customer base choses to e-mail them instead. So e-mail communication is becoming more used then the phone even between regular people like us who spend time on this discussion board. So e-mail communication is not something that is allowed to be neglected in favor for support via the phone. If we look at the way people communicate today it would become obvious that e-mail and SMS/MMS communication play an important part.
And Nokia is supposed to be "Connecting People"! Hah! So ironic!
Note! One very important thing that must be underlined here is that this bad relation thing, and Nokia not replying on e-mails only and surely applies to Nokia Sweden. Nokia UK for instance has always replied to what ever the question I had in mind. So for every time Nokia Sweden didn't reply to me, I translated the message to English and asked Nokia UK and I always got a sattisfying answer. Many thanks to you guys! You're the best! This positive and good reception may be a reason enough for me to move to England! Seriously!
Initially I just wanted to ask the questions I have below. But I felt like this post needed to be expanded little bit to give you a short flashback or foreword and to share my experience with you. Feel free to comment if you have had any bad experience with either Nokia Sweden or other Nokia support or customer care or so called "Nokia Care" depertments.
Now to my initial questions.
1. What is Club Nokia?
2. What's the difference between Club Nokia and My Nokia? If My Nokia is just a new name for Club Nokia, then what else has changed except the name?
3. Is it true that one can get a personal Club Nokia card by mail after registering for Club Nokia?
4. What is the Club Nokia card used for?
5. Is it a condition that must be fulfilled that one registers the purchased phone and shows the Club Nokia card in order to get warranty service at an authorized Nokia service shop? If it's not a condition for warranty service to have the Club Nokia card, can it still be used for those purposes (i.e. verifying the date of purchase) instead of showing the purchase receive?
Thanks in advance!

And if you need to contact them in your own language, you could maybe use the contact form on nokia.se pages:
http://www.nokia.se/link?cid=PLAIN_TEXT_494072
after doing a quick google around the subject it seems pretty clear that there is no club nokia anymore but rather MyNokia. They do have swedish site:click here
