Nokia Mac Software

May 22nd, 2008

After browsing around on Nokia’s website searching for iSync plugins I actually found a couple of resources for Mac users.

On the Nokia iSync page you can find information on syncing with your Mac and download iSync plugins for your phone model. Sad to find out, there are no official Nokia plugins for the 6500 Classic and 6500 Slide phones. Why is that?

However, Nokia Multimedia Transfer allows you to seamlessly sync with iTunes and iPhoto and it works with the 6500 Classic.

iWork Fakturamall för Numbers

April 19th, 2008

Skapade en enkel mall i Numbers för att skicka ut fakturor. Har inget behov av ett faktureringsprogram när jag freelansar och kände inte direkt för att köpa ett numrerat fakturablock (kostar upp mot 500:- kan jag säga).

Mallen räknar automatiskt ut fakturabelopp och momsbelopp (25%). Fakturadaturm sätts automatiskt till det datum då du skapar fakturan och förfallodatum räknas automatiskt upp 14 dagar från fakturadatum.

Ska passa i vanliga fönsterkuvert.

Ladda ner fakturamallen

Back to Wordpress Again

April 18th, 2008

Been using the Chyrp blogging engine for a while but after having experienced some highly annoying bugs I’ve decided to use Wordpress instead. The new 2.5 version looks promising

Well with a new fresh install I feel creative enough to create a new simple and minimalistic Wordpress theme. Check back for that later.

Nokia 6500 Classic iSync Plugin

April 15th, 2008

This plugin is only tested through trial-and-error so use it at your own risk. Only Bluetooth is supported. Please write a comment if you find any bugs or want to request any features.

READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING:
Always double check what iSync wants to change/add/delete! As a couple of people have pointed out there are a nasty bug regarding syncing contacts. I have yet been able to fix this issue as it appears to be very random. If iSync tells you that it wants to change more than 5% of the contacts on your computer and wants to delete a couple of contacts even though you haven’t deleted any in your phone; DO NOT SYNC. You will erase a majority your contacts and your phone contacts will get erased in next sync and if you haven’t backed it all up somewhere they will be gone forever.

Installation Instructions

  • Download the latest version of the iSync plugin from below.
  • Decompress and move Nokia-6500.phoneplugin to ~/Library/PhonePlugins (create this folder if it doesn’t exist)
  • Start iSync and find your phone.
Upgrade Instructions
  • Follow instructions above and overwrite the old Nokia-6500.phoneplugin
  • Before syncing, make sure to back up all your contacts and iCal events on the computer. You also might want to reset all contacts and events in phone or else there’s a chance you will have contact and events duplicates after sync.

Changelog & Download

Known Issues

  • If iSync hangs and then asks to check data connection; visit this Apple support page for solution:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=en_US 
  • If you get this error message: “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
    Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed.”. Restart iSync and restart bluetooth in your phone. Be sure to not have any dialogs open in your phone while syncing.
  • Isync cannot reset device (remove all contacts and events/notes/tasks in phone) for doing a fresh sync. If the sync for some reason gets cancelled; in some cases you will need to manually remove all contacts and events/notes/tasks in your phone and then reset the device from within iSync. Devices -> Reset All Devices. Make sure that you close all dialogs in phone before syncing as this will trigger this bug.
  • Marking a Task as ‘Completed’ in phone will remove the task from the To Do Items list in iCal instead of just checking it.
  • Tasks added in phone might display wrong due date (-1 day) and alarm time (00:00) in iCal.
  • Tasks added in iCal will display a due time +1 hour in phone. I think it has something to do with daylight saving time and might not be a bug.
