Sony Ericsson W760a sync horribly slow on 10.6.1

iSync worked fine after the 10.6 upgrade, but now that I've updated to 10.6.1, it has become as slow as molasses! It's taking nearly a minute per address book entry, and I have more than 200 entries to sync. Calendar transfer works fine, and transferring files via Bluetooth works fine. Anyone else experiencing anything like this? (Upgrading to Snow Leopard has caused far more problems for me than upgrading from Tiger to Leopard ever did…)

I bit the bullet and tried syncing overnight. The first try, iSync crashed after reaching about 14% progress in 20 minutes. I tried again, and it did finish the sync eventually, so I have all my contacts and calendar on my phone now (whew!). I made a change to one of my contacts this morning and did another sync to test. There are still at least two problems:
1) Syncing still takes a ridiculously long time.
2) Pictures of the contacts no longer appear linked to their profile on my phone. This worked fine before the upgrade.
I'm wondering if Sony Ericsson needs to update their iSync drivers. I tried reinstalling them and no dice.

ISYNC Nokia 6121 or N70 or Sony Ericsson V640 SYNC???????

I am getting a new phone on phone insurance and want to ensure it works with isync. I cant seem to find either the Nokia 6121 classic or the Sony Ericsson V640 on the isync list. Through version tracker i have seen isync phone plugins 5,2 which says that it works for the Nokia 6121. I also have the choice of an older, proven sync model Nokia N70.
Does anyone know or use any of these phones and know FOR SURE that they sync calendar and address book. Without this function I would be lost!

The *Sony Ericsson V640* works perfectly with iSync using an iSync Plugin from here. You can see all the Contact and Calendar data that is synced listed on that page.

Sony Ericsson s700i sync ?

Hi I have managed to get my SE s700i connected to PC via MSI PC2PC Bluetooth Dongle having installe SP2 Drivers and using Software v.1.4.3.4
I can move the mouse on my PC using 'Remote Control Desktop' on the phone but cannot get the Sony Ericsson software to reconise the connection.
Any ideas on what to do here from some kind expert or not, I love anybody that can stop my frustration.
Cheers
Woozie

Embarrassing. I must have gone thru this on the mini - I even noted it so that I wouldn't forget - but the problem is in the address book itself - only the K700 is supported by default.
I found that this helped:

Downloading photos from my sony ericsson w760a

In the past, I have been able to use bluetooth to download photos taken form my cellphone (sony ericsson w 760a) to iphoto. Over the past year, this has stopped working, and I get a response saying my photo can't be imported due to "unreadable format." I have tried going to Preview and choosing sRGB profile, which has not made a difference. Any advice?

Open the files in Preview and save them. Then try import.

How do I iSync my Sony Ericsson P910i

Can some one please email me detailed instructions on isyncing my P910i with tiger. I am really struggling with that topic. [email protected]
PLEASE TITLE THE EMAIL "ISYNC YOUR P910i"

No. All Sony Ericsson phones sync via Bluetooth only.
A USB Bluetooth dongle is quite cheap though and allows you to do a lot.
The D-Link DBT-120 is the one to go for if you can as its the only one officially supported by Apple (although pretty much any will work).

Pacman is horribly slow to sync with Community.

I've really had this problem ever since I started using Arch and I figured I was just screwing something up so I'm here to find out what.
So of course I always run rankmirrors after a new install and currently my mirrors are.
Server = http://archlinux.umflint.edu/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/d … /os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
And when I run a pacman -Syy (or just Sy) core and extra are almost instant, then it will hang on community for like 10-15 seconds (which seems like forever) and then will finally sync. Nothing else seems to be wrong, downloading packages from community is fast as I would expect. I'm on cable with a download of 1.5 MB/s and and upload of about 60 KB/s. This happens at my friends house, and at my work as well.
Am I doing something wrong?
NOTE: This also happens when using yaourt.

XFS is horribly slow when dealing w/ many small files - you know that, don't you Godofgrunts?
I too have this issue. I have an 8yo PATA HDD and even syncing extra after a longer break is slow. But I run pacman and in the meantime I check email, rss etc. so I'm fine.
Edit: Here's one way to fix it http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8586
Yes I know, but if you do a ls -1 | wc -l on extra, you'll see that there are 2441 directories and if you do it on community you'll see that there are only 1930. One would think that it would take a longer to sync extra (which literally takes like 2 seconds) than community.
I'll try some of the other things listed here (pacman-cage has sparked my interest) and if that doesn't work, using a different file system for /var and see if that helps.

What is the latest PC Sync for Sony (Ericsson) Mobiles?

I see different types of software for syncing Sony devices. But which of the followings are the lastest and which one(s) are expired.
Sony Ericsson PC Suite 6.011.00
PC Suite for Sony Ericsson 1.6.0
Sony PC Companion & Sony Media Go
Is "Sony Ericsson PC Suite" replaced by "Sony PC Companion"? If so, does it cover old Sony Ericsson mobiles such as k310- k750- w810?

PC companion is a replacement for PC suite version 6 (but not for other versions), so any phone that is compatible with this version of PC suite, will also be compatible with PC companion. However, other versions of PC suite can still be used, so none of them have actually expired. As for Media Go, there have been several updates which should work with any phone that is compatible with this application.
Hope this helps.

Missing bottom half of the Sony Ericsson Sync screen

Hi!
After logging in to Sony Ericsson Sync at http://www.sonyericsson.com/wportal/uss/promotion?cc=se&lc=sv I am missing half of the screen. I see the status part (last sync, and links to Contacts/Calendar/Bookmarks/Notes/Settings), but not the bottom half as depicted here:
This means I am unable to add a new phone for synchronization, which is a bit annoying.
I've tried in Opera, Iceweasel (Firefox) and Chrome, both from home and from my office, and I get the same problems everywhere.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have no experience of my own from other sync services so I'm not sure which one you could use instead.
Have a look at this list here and see if you can find any that suits you.

New isync 2.2 won't synce with sony ericsson S700i on 10.4.6

Like everyone else I was happily running iSync with 10.4.5 worked perfect now after updating to 10.4.6 I get the same as with everyone else. I did all the blah blah Apple 2.2 Sync details to the letter from their site. Sync gets most of the way and the phone spews back the " can't do this cos of error in phone???".....we are all feeling the pain I think. So tell me Apple? Did you try it on a Sony Ericsson before give it to us???....Man talk about a pain.
You should have left it alone? So do I get to send you a bill for my lost time? I charge $200 per hour as a design consultant and you and your great update has cost me an $200 in lost time....would have rather spent it on itunes at least that way I get something for my money instead of a frustrating experience. For God's sake test before you stuff everyones frustration!
G5 POWERMAC Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The S700i uses the same phone firmware software as the K700 and K750. We are discussing this problem over here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=429497&tstart=0
I have a S700i as well and right now, I decided to sync it with my Powerbook running OS X 10.4.5 until a solution is posted.
10.4.6 feels a bit rushed to be honest See you in the other thread!

Sony Ericsson W960i - Can't Sync

I just purchased the W960i, and I can't find any support or viable plugins so I can sync my Address Book, and iCal. What can I do? I would have purchased the iPhone, but it will not be available in my host country for at least another year. I really need to be able sync for my work. HELP!!!

K800 syncing is still working fine - there are no issues with any iSync updates. Your K800 syncing problems are almost certainly solvable and due to iSync's History needing resetting or some corruption in either your Contacts or Calendars.
The K800 and W960 are completely different phones with a different OS.
So far, no one yet, neither Apple, Sony Ericsson or a third-party has created a fully 100% working for everyone iSync Plugin for any of the new Symbian Sony Ericsson phones, such as the W960, P990, M600, P1i etc.
Sony Ericssons own iSync Plugins for these phones do not work reliably for many, or at all for others.
The W960 Plugin you've found is just a 'hacked' Sony Ericsson P1/P990 one, which is why it suffers from the same issues as the other Symbian-based phones.
Because syncing of these phones is so flaky, unreliable and inconsistent across Macs and different users, that's also why you haven't seen any professional iSync Plugins from any of the usual providers. They're not going to release something that doesn't work 100% at all times and for all users.

Sony ericsson has sudenly stoped syncing

I have a sony ericsson k700i mobile phone. isync was working well with my mobile, until i updated to OSX 10.4.6 now my phone now no longer syncs with the computer and gives me this message.
"Saturday, 22 April 2006 16:56
[Richisace] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been cancelled on the phone.
Device "Richisace" synchronization failed"
I have not cancelled the synchronization the phone says,
"session failed communication interrupted"
I have tried restarting the computer, switching the phone off and on, deleting the phone from isync and putting it back on none of these things helped. I checked your web site but can't find any info on why this might be happening. Please help as I come to rely on syncing to organize my life.

This is a known problem with iSync 2.2 and has been
the subject of a number of threads on here already.
A possible solution is here:
http://mobile.feisar.com/k700isync22hack.html
BE WARNED, that this is a hack, and requires direct
editing of files within the iSync application. DO NOT
attempt this hack if you are not at all competent in
doing so. It is very possible to break iSync if you
are not careful.
If you decide to proceed, make sure you do adequate
backups before starting. Then read ALL the
instructions VERY carefully and fully a couple of
times before going ahead.
Thank you for the information I tryed fixing as the web sight said but could not get my phone 2 sync still. Please let me know if you hear of another way to sort this out, as the only way round this I can think of is to get a new phone that dose work.

Unusual error syncing Sony Ericsson W810i :0

Hi all,
I am trying to sync my mac (Powerbook G4) with a Sony Ericsson w810i. My iSync version is up to date. In the iSync menu where you can select to sync contacts and calendar, I am not able to select iCal. Whenever I select to sync iCal events, i immediatedly get a popup saying "You should select an application that can be syncronized using Mac OS X. Would you like to open iCal now ??" whether I open or not the iCal sync option is automatically unselected - and hence i do not get the events to my phone.
Any responses will be appreciated.

Powerbook G4, iMac Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.7)

i have same problem on a Sony ericcson K750i/powerbook G4/OSX 10.4.7
this came after a period of failed calendar syncs
both these came after upgrading to 10.4.7......anyone tried intalling 10.4.6 upgrade as a way to go back to the good old days?

Sony Ericsson Syncing

hi, i just got a new Sony Ericsson K810 and it says its not supported by iSync, i had a search of the forums and someone gave a link to download the plugins here http://www.feisar.com/plugins.html
but i cant find a link to download, and it seems you have to pay?
thanks very much

I can second MMike70 comments regarding the Feisar plugin.
I purchased them for my K810 whilst on Tiger and I can confirm that regarding the syncing of Addresses and Calendars from my Mac to phone it works without a hitch on Leopard.
The AddressBook enabler is no longer of use as this functionality was removed from AddressBook completely by Apple (what were they thinking of!!!)
However as often happens, the solution I have found (or been pointed towards) I think is better. Point yourself to http://algoritmer.dk/widget/ and download the emitSMS widget.
It works perfectly and means you don't have to have Addressbook open all the time as it seamlessly reads your contacts.
