[...] Script Here [...]

7500 Prism plugin syncronizes only SIM memory contacts, NOT telephone memory contacts - iCal seems to be OK

I’ve just tried a Nokia 6020 and had no success. iSync 2.4 could not find the device - the Add Device dialog box says “no device found”.

I have gone through and removed all the phones that dont have bluetooth support, and added links to the remaining phones spec on nokia.com

hi james many thanks but isync plugin for 6500 does not seem to work with the 6500 slide ?

cheers

Jimbo

The 6275i does NOT work.

The phone lacks the SyncML service, which means that it is significantly different from most other Series 40 phones, and AFAIK iSync requires SyncML to work.

Why two entries for the 6131? I tried the second one, and it works fine. They both link to the same txt file and the same specs on the nokia site. any difference in the code?

FYI, fixed 6500 Nokia spec link. For some reason the 6500 doesn’t conform to their naming convention.

Thankyou James,

After some trial and error as a complete novice I worked out the Metaclasses.plist file needed to be opened as a text file to be edited.

Once I worked that out your script works great! Able to sync contacts on a new 6500c… If you’re ever in Sydney I wanna shout you a beer!!!

Thank you, works like a breeze for the Nokia 6500 Classic!

Yes the slide doesn’t work. Its difficult to debug all the phones when I only have a 6085.

But the phones in green at the top do work, and in yellow may work but people havn’t told me.

Hey James, I found the solution to the 6500 slide problem here:

Cheers Phil have added a link under the 6500 to the your link!.

Does not work with 5610

Hello

I just got a Nokia 6500 Classic and want to sync only the contacts from the Address Book on my Mac Book Pro. Is this possible with your script ?? Also, I dont fully understand the installation instructions - I can locate the file but dont understand how to replace it with your plugin - when I click on your plugin, I just get text in Safari and dont know what to do from there

Thanks in advance for your help

I just bougth a Nokia 6085, it didn’t work with iSync (Tiger 10.4.11). Trying to find a solution I got to your website and used your script, and it works !! both iSync and iCal.
It’s fantastic my friend!
Thanks a lot!

I just wonder if it will work with Leopard. Has anybody tried it?

Hi James,
thx very much for your work, but how do i replace the content of the original metaclasses with the txt file I downloaded from your site. I have a nokia 6500c.

The plugin seems to work with the Nokia 6234. But the memory on the 6234 fills pretty quickly - mine couldn’t even get past 500 contacts.

here is the key for the 5310. I tried and it works :

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404013821717

I was able to adapt this to my new Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone!

I used the updated instructions above (”Creating your own iSync Phone Plug-in for OS X 10.4.9 iSync 2.4″ http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=86309 ), except for the following little change:

In the MetaClasses.plist file described in the mentioned comment, add the string “XpressMusic” to the line
Nokia Nokia 5310
. After adding the string, this line becomes
Nokia Nokia 5310 XpressMusic
This seems to be needed or iSync will not recognise the 5310.

Ahh annd the best: Even Address Book images get synchronised as with S60 phones!

The only thing I’m still missing but haven’t seem on any phone (except probably the iPhone) yet is a syncing of address groups to my nokia phone.
I wonder if there is a public API that could help in implementing this.

Cheers,
Simon

HEy,

installed 6500c plugin worked after 4th retry,

(had an empty space from editing the plist first,

then forgot to quit isync so a sfety backup would appear and keep the new plist from functioning)

but did not sync phonenumbers, calendars worked fine…

I checked merge data

made a new group in adress book,

called it phone and synced it, with no result.

then, i don´t know how,

isync did not show the merge or erease checkbox anymore…

i tried to sync anyway and my numbers are gone:(

any idea about recovery options?

best greetings

Nokia 6267 works just fine!!!!
Tanks a lot for sharing!!!!

It works for my Nokia 3110 classic. I used 3109 plugin and exchanged every 3109 to 3110 in the file and put this file into 6131 family folder as written in instruction. I used only calendar synchronization, but I think it should also work for Address Book. Thanks James !

just tried the 6500 classic sync.
went like clockwork, apart from birthdays not being transferred.

great stuff
thx

The 5310 script works when completed with Fifibrindacier’s hack. Coool work, dudes!

JOhn or fifibrindacier, could anyone of you post a link to the 5310 script? I tried the same for the 5610, but it won’t work. Basically both phones should have the same OS. Thanks.

Hello,

I just receive a Nokia 2630 and was realy sad to not be able to sync it to my ical (macos x 10.4.11 isync 2.4).

And with your plugin it works !
It’s a realy great stuff ! Thanks a lot
With all my gratitude !

E.

Not at all this is specifically for being able to use iSync with your nokia phone, so just the syning of calendar and contacts. To be able to use the phone as a modem you would need to check the settings when pairing the phone via bluetooth. Though I have never done this.

rename the file in a texteditor

Wow. This worked with my new 6500c first time, as described. Completely. Thank you.

Hi,

I have encountered a problem using iSync with the Nokia 6085 and an old iBook. The iBook is running 10.4.11, iSync 2.4 and is equipped with an SE bluetooth dongle.
I am able to pair the phone with the computer and can browse the Nokia 6085 via the Bluetooth Prefence Menu, putting on extra ringtones and so forth.
I downloaded the iSync plugin here and set up the Nokia 6085 in iSync, but all attempts in syncing fail:
The iSync log shows the following error message:
12:33:28 Error [Nokia 6085] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been cancelled on the phone.

12:33:28 Error Device “Nokia 6085″ synchronization failed
Whereas the phone diplays: Sync failed. …. Unable to process all items. ..

Any hints?

thks, aki

hey in fact it doesn’t work as good as it seemed.

I can sync, i can send sms with addressbook, and receive call with addressbook, but i don’t receive the sms on the computer …

does someone know why ?

ow okay … so i’ve seen there’s a similar file for adressbook in his package : /Contents/Resources/Telephony.bundle (which is also a package) -> /Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommandSets.plist

I’ll try to change something in this one to make it work with sms incoming. If someone else want to try …

Just tested this on my Nokia 2630 and it works like a charm. You sir a legend, thank you very much..

A 2865i (through Alltel) gives a “This device is not supported through iSync” message.

Nokia 5610 doesn’t work, as mentioned above.
If there’s something new available that’ll work, please mail me.
Thanks.

Hi James,

nice work there. Basic sync works excellent.

After having worked with the phone for some time now, I’ve found a few glitches when syncing my 6500 classic with iSync under Leopard (haven’t tried other versions though).

The problems only occur when syncing back, i.e. contacts have been transmitted to the phone and, some time later, I’m syncing again. At this point, iSync reports contacts would have changed:

1. Company names seems to get deleted
2. German umlauts in Notes seem to be converted somehow (e.g. an ‘ä’ converts to a two characters: ‘Ãø’ (the latter appears to be an o over an x; ‘ü’ converts to ‘Ã1/4′ where ‘1/4′ is one character.
3. Display type seems to get deleted (has been ‘person’ or ‘company’, empty after syncing back)
4. Long notes appear to be truncated.
5. Birthdays seem to get deleted.
6. Job titles seem to get deleted.
7. Images seem to get deleted!

I think it’s fine if the phone doesn’t support certain fields but they should not be overwritting/modified/deleted when syncing back.

Thanks for any help. Drop me a note if I can be of any help figuring out what goes wrong there.

Oh, and happy new year!

Cheers,
-Hans

Tested with 6133 - iSync 2.4. One-way sync of Contacts, from Mac to Phone. Calendar works both ways.

I have tried and tried but I cannot get the 6085 plug in to work under Leopard. I opened the existing MetaClasses.plist with DashCode, highlighted all the original text, pasted over it with yours, saved and quit. When I launch iSync it tells me “iSync cannot connect to this device” for my phone. I feel pretty dumb reading everyone else’s immediate easy success… any tips?

I just tryed the plugin on a nokia 2630 with iSync 3.0 in Leopard and it works like a charm.
Thanks for the great plugin, it’s really cool!

Check that - it actually seems that it will only sync with a particular group once. If I rename the group, or choose a different group, it syncs normally. Switching to a different group seems to require unpairing both the phone and the computer, removing the phone from iSync, then repairing and reinstalling the phone to iSync. Any ideas as to why?

Thanx for the excellent work.

Works great with my Nokia 6500 classic.

I instantly postet your instructions (translated for all the german MacUsers) on http://www.macuser.de.

No need to mention, that I refered to you Website…
Again, excellent work. Thanx A LOT!

Best regards from Germany
Santigua

I’m trying this again. Has anyone gotten this to work on a Nokia 2865i??
-Jeff

Just had a note from Svein at disappearhere.com who has pointed out the error to the 6500 Slide plugin. I have updated the link to point to the correct page now.

This works just like a charm with my Nokia 2630. Big thanks!

Thanks, James. Plug-in for Nokia 5310 XpressMusic works with iSync 3.0 on Leopard for both contacts and calendar. I put the plug-in into Library/PhonePlugins. No bugs detected so far. You have obviously already changed the plug-in to include the string “Nokia Nokia 5310 XpressMusic” as suggested by fifibrindacier. Thanks very much

thnks a bunch james

o lovin this

6500 classic now synced wit compter

and now contacts on ipod touch cheers

Nokia 6102i works, but you have to change some of the code from,(family.com.nokia.series40.3rdEd.bus.bt) to, (family.com.nokia.series40.bus.bt) the reason being, is that the 6102i is a 2nd edition phone and if not changed you will in turn, get the error message “no authorization” on the phone and iSync will report that it can’t push data to the phone unless this line of code is changed. This could also be a problem for those of you who are trying to sync with other Nokia versions. Be sure to check to see what series and edition your phone is. Here is the website that I found where I was able to decipher this information. Any suggestion or need help post it and I would be more than happy to help :).

Sync with Ical and my new 2630 and it works. I love it. James, you prove that it is possible. Why does Apple and Nokia won’t support this????

Sorry but forgot to mention, I used the 3109 plugin. Thanks again James!

Hi James,

Like a few 6500 classic owners here, I can only manage to Sync calendars. Phone numbers were not synced from the phone to Addressbook, but only from Addressbook to Sync, though the phone sync progress shows them being synced. In addition, multiple entries were created when syncing (from Addressbook to phone). Syncing calendars worked well though.

iSync 3.0, Leopard 10.5.1

Hi,

I have used your plugin for my Nokia 6500 Classic, and it has been working perfect untill I updated my phones software. My current and new phone software is version 04.84.

The problem occurs after sending 4-5 contacts. Then iSync tells me that an error occured while syncronizing and that the phone might have disconnected the connection.

Have you heard of this problem and do you know how to fix it?

Thanks

Ulrik

Looks like the Calendar Issue on the 6500 is somthing to do with your firmware version. Again appologies for not being able to test this my self, I only have a 8800 and a 6085 to test with.

If anyone can provide further info would be much appreciated, 11,000 visits to this page is quite staggering & flattering.

Thanks for setting up this resource, I was beginning to feel a bit lost. I have replaced the MetaClass.plist as directed with the plug in for the Nokia 6301 which shows up in finder simply as a web location. I’m not understanding something, I have tried opening the file which is a txt file of code but don’t know what to do with it or how the file is activated. I can find no information in isync on how to add plug ins.

Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks a lot. The plug in worked for Nokia 2760 perfectly !!

Hi,

I try to install the plugin for my Nokia 2630. I’m working in Leopard with iSync 3.0.
I followed the install instructions as described at the beginning of this page but I’m not able to finish them. This is my problem :

The instructions say “Right click iSync from the with applications in the finder and “show package contents”. Navigate to: Contents\Plugins\ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice\Contents\Plugins\Nokia-6131.phoneplugin\Contents\Resources”

I can navigate to Contents\Plugins\ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice\Contents\Plugins\ but Nokia-6131.phoneplugin is not a directory. This file can only be opened with the application iSync Plug-in Maker which is installed on my system.

I was not able to change the content of the file MetaClasses.plist.

I’m new to MacOSX and I don’t know what I can do to install the plugin.
Can someone help me out? Probably I’m doing something wrong but I cannot figure out what.

Hi, I have fixed the 8600 Luna iSync profile, well on mine this works anyhow

The problem is that the phone is not actually called “8600″ but “8600 Luna” so I changed the following lines:

Identification

com.apple.cgmi cgmm
Nokia Nokia 8600 Luna
com.apple.gmi gmm
Nokia Nokia 8600 Luna
com.apple.usb.vendorid-modelid
0×0421/0×04f2

Hi James,

Bought 5310 Express Music, followed your installation advise, did work fine to get contacts on it but crashed seconds after. I can not revive it.

Anybody knows where to get IMET list, noticed difference in IMET number on sticker and one you call by *#06#. Apparently digits in place 7 and 8 denote country of manufacture and list names the country. For Nokia Finland should be 00, China 02 and so on.

Many thanx
Ivan
