Nokia 6500 Classic iSync Plugin

Hi Michael,

I’m glad there are people out there like you. Great job, works almost seamlessly. Except one thing:
iSync copys only one adress per contact, although I have several adresses (home and work for instance) in some of my contacts. Is the phone not able to handle that or is that because of your plugin?
Thanks for your answer. And by the way, nice redesign of your webpage.

Cheers, Reiner

Hi Reiner,

That’s because I made it as basic as possible to rule out errors while testing. I know that if I add all contact properties to the plugin there will be issues while syncing.

As of version 0.2 these are the supported contact properties:
First name
Last name
Company name

Phone numbers
Phone number value (The actual number)
Phone number type (Mobile, Home, etc)

Street addresses
Street
Postal code
City
State
Country

A lot of other properties can be added, such as: Nickname, Job Title, Photo, Birthday and also what I think might be relevant to your question; Extended Addresses.

However, I feel that there’s a need for testing out the basic properties before adding new ones.

I’ve created a new plugin with all of the Street Address properties:

http://legnered.com/miche/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/Nokia-6500-0.21.phoneplugin.zip

Feel free to test it and I would be glad to know if it works out for you.

hello!

great piece of work. contacts work perfect, but todos are not synced at all?

also, all day events created in ical are synced as “memos”. but memos created on phone are synced back as 1 minute events at 23:59, could that be fixed?

/P.

Hi Piotr,

I have added Tasks/Todo support in 0.3b1. There are some bugs that I need to sort out and that’s why it’s a beta release.

As for the memos I’ll look into that in the week. Need some sleep now ;).

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Michael,

I have a 6500 Slide, will your plugin work for me? I have tried a couple of plugins that are available for my phone and although they sync up the calendar with iCal, when I sync up the contacts to my Address Book, there is an issue as it ‘hangs’ and doesn’t complete the sync. This problem has been experienced by numerous other people too.

Any help you can give me with my 6500 Slide would be greatly apreciated. Please can you email me?

Many thanks,

Darren

I bought the nokia 6500c today, and tried your plug-in, but it still doesn´t work. I put the plug-in as you said. but i get this message both on the phone and my powerbook G4 ( with Leopard). that the phone has stopped sync and that syncing is impossible.
I can´t find out what i´am doing wrong.

Maybe phone in danmark are closed some how, or i did something wrong. Help please.
Pascal

Pascal:

Could you please paste the complete iSync error message? You can also check the iSync Log (Command-2) and find the error message there.

I’ve tested both v0.2 and v0.3b. It connects okay but only sends one contact from my phone to the Address Book (not the first).

I wonder if I have installed it correctly. I simply created the required “PhonePlugins” folder in “Library” and copied in the second of the two folders contained in the ZIP. I don’t know what to do with the first folder there, the one named “Nokia-6500-0.2.ppdoc”.

Hi Michael,

I’m running the 0.3b1 now and all contact details I wanted to be synchronized find their way to the 6500c:
- several adresses
- company name (was about to report that issue but fixed that already =)
The only thing to improve I might think of is changing the icon in front of an adress entry. Currently it is always that needle-on-whatever-kind-of-thing. If possible, it would be helpful to use the work/home icon (I mean that factory icon for work and the house icon for the home adress) so that one is able to distinguish where this adress belongs to. See what I mean?
But nevertheless, thanks for your effort!

Reiner

Glenn: You need to make sure that the phone uses it’s internal memory for storing contacs, not the SIM. The .pppdoc file is for the iSync plugin maker application.

Reiner: I actually don’t think you can change the icons. I’ll look into it though if it’s possible.

Yes, I’ve got my phone set to use it’s internal memory. Oh well…

Hi Michael,

Please help…

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but my N6500 classic still doesn’t connect with my isync. I did the instruction above and have moved the nokia 6500 plugins folder in my library but when i tried to connect my phone in isync it still detects my phone as a “not supported phone”. Please help. I’m using macbook leopard os and isync 3.0.

Thank you.

Sofia

Sorry. Please ignore my first message. I have made the plugin work already. However, when I tried sync the contacts in my phone to my mac all my contacts in the phone were erased. Please help me. Is there a chance to recover my contacts.

Thank you.

Hi, it’s… um… fubar’d my contacts list. it notifies me it’s modifying one contact, and deleting 280 others off my computer, neither of which it actually does. it’s transferred all the contacts over from my mac (including all the ones i’d forgotten i’d still got), and then finally broke the contacts system on the phone:

if i try to open the address book, it claims to be empty, until i perform a search, at which point they all appear again. searching only works if i use the menu item for search, not just typing letters in, and it doesn’t work with ‘A’… what’s happened?? how can i fix this? i absolutely can’t lose the contacts on the phone, the iSync wasn’t successful, and the only copy i now have of all my contacts is trapped in a very fragile state on the phone… please help!

10.5.2, Power Mac G5, Nokia 6500c :(

Problem report: (Both 0.2 and 0.21) Sync starts normally, with progress bars on both the 6500 and the Mac, but the transfer hangs at Contact #476 (of 652). After ~30 seconds, the connection apparently times out, with these messages:
Phone: “Data transfer not possible, check data connection” on the phone”
iSync: “Connection to the phone failed. Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone. Device synchronization failed.”

I did restart phone & iSync, but same behavior.

Running Mac OS 10.5.2 with iSync 3.0 (build 568). Also have Nokia Multimedia Transfer 1.3 (4740) installed, but not active during the time of this test.

PS,
My N95 syncs ok, with the iSync plugin downloaded from Nokia.com (after applying an N95 phone software update posted in the last few months… before that, the plugin didn’t work). I say ok, but problems there too… phone#’s input on the 6500 and sync’d to the N95 via PC Sync & Outlook came out blank in my Entourage Address Book. A whole new set of problems to chase down. Nokia has shot themselves in the foot, inducing a complexity explosion, by trying to satisfy their rich imagination of definable market niches with every flavor of mobile anyone could dream up. And, their PC side software is ugly (seems to work ok, but no comfy feeling from the UI, look&feel is 1995). Nokia needs a DNA infusion from Apple, Microsoft, and Google, if they want to compete in the next-gen connected-device world.

Thanks for doing Nokia’s work for them. Appreciate that people are interested to do this kind of thing for free.
KP

I get the same issues as KP on May 2nd. The progress bar on the phone shows all contacts being sent. In the iSync progress bar it initailly says “Receiving changes from “Nokia 6500C”.Contacts-90%”. It then says “Receiving changes” then nothing further after a while i get the same message as KP “Data transfer not possible, check data connection”
I am running Mac OS 10.5.2 with iSync 3.0 build 568

Appreciate your good work and hopefully I have been able to shed a little more light on a bug. Cheers Scott.

I’m not that familiar with apple yet and i don’t understand the way of unzipping and putting in a folder…
I have a 6500 classic and want it to work with isync. Can anybody help me with some simple advice how to manage this…?
Thanks very much,
Jon

Thanks for making this but like Scott G and Pascal I have the same error message.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

IT’S STILL NOT PLAYING NICELY!!

Wednesday, 14 May 2008 23:51
[Nokia 6500c] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed.

I used version 0.2 to sync Isync contacts to my 6500c and it works like a charm. Great work, thanks.

Hey Michel, works fine for me. Thanks!

You are a legend !!!
I use 2 phones (for 2 countries) Nokia 6300 and 6500 classic. iCal on macbook and they all sync !
if i change anything in one og those 2 phones or on the Mac, just push Sync and everything updates at once !!

Great job !

Hey Michel,

is there an option for Tiger people? james’s pages references to here and here only isync 3.0 is tested (=supported). I tried it on Tiger and it doesn’t seem to work. Does somebody have experience with this?

tnx a lot.

I remember i downloaded a iSync plugin for 6500c from nokias own site, but now that i have reinstalled leopard because of a system crash.. its gone, i can’t find it there…

Thanks for the plugin! The “other” one didn’t work after firmware upgrade so with this I could get the phone numbers back. :)

Does the beta version support synchronising e-mail addresses? If not, any plans on adding support for that?

Hi everybody. Sorry for the lack of replies to your comments. I have been sick for the last two weeks and haven’t actually bothered to start up my computer. ;)

Anyways, please read the updated blog post as it probably will answer some of your questions.

[...] tested in leopard. isync plugin. works [...]

Hi there, Since you seem to be highly clued up on matters bluetooth, may I trouble you on an issue that has appeared on my setup?

Nokia 6500 slide and MacBook Pro 17″ running 10.5.2:

When sending files (contacts or pictures) from the phone to the computer I get “Bluetooth Connection Failed” on the phone before I even get the “accept;’reject” verification box on the computer. Other bluetooth apps (phonemanager, modem use etc) all work fine.

Nokia says it’s MAc, Mac says it’s Nokia!

How do I solve it?

Another thing I have noticed which is very irritating is that pre Leopard there was a drop down menu in Apple’s Address Book enabling you to send an address card straight to your phone. This appears to have gone! Now you have to save the card to the desktop and then send it to the phone! Very annoying extra step (and anopther step in deleting the saved file from the desktop!). Any clues?

Kind regards

Nick Brandt

I have tried over and over to sync my address book, but i always get the message “The phone could not store some of your contacts” followed by a list of the rejected contacts?

It’s driving me mad, i need all of my contacts (115) not just 92%.

Please somebody help.

Nick Brandt: Try to restart bluetooth on both phone and computer and be sure to not have any dialogs open in phone when syncing. If that doesn’t help I have no idea what the problem is.

_global.kevin: Make sure that the phone is saving your contacts in it’s internal memory and not on the SIM.

hello.. great plugin.. BUT.. it doesnt sync the email addresses at all.. any idea how to solve the the problem.. it syncs numbers and addresses properly, but no emails =(

Hi, and thanks for the great job! Does any version now support several addresses/email addresses?

tweeky & kalle: Multiple addresses should work as of version 0.3. Regarding email addresses I’m going to try to incorporate that tomorrow. Next version should be up by tuesday.

Email and URL support added in 0.4.

Brilliant!! I was beginning to think I would have to change my phone.

Hi Folks,

First, i want to thank you Michel for the great Plugin :)

But I just want to know if i am the only person who has got the “problem” that you’ve to delete the contacts on the phone first, before Isnyc copies the e-mail address on the phone.

I tried to sync the phone without having deleted the contacts, but Isync didn’t update the contacts on the phone with the e-mail.

I also deleted the version 0.3b1 first before “installing” version 0.4.

An answer would be nice because i don’t want to delete all my contacs angain ;)

Greeting,
Yannick

srry for my miserable english ;)

Yannick: What happened for me when I upgraded to 0.4 was that I got duplicates for all contacts in the phone. Your problem is probably somehow related to mine. The best thing you could do is backup all your contacts with Address Book, erase them from phone and then do a fresh sync.

I’m no expert in phone plugin development so it’s all trial and error. But somehow I get the feeling that there’s some problem with the Nokia 6500 and that’s why Nokia probably haven’t developed a plugin for this model.

The issues are so random that it feels impossible to find a solution. But I’ll keep digging.

I am following all the stages mentioned above but unable to connect and sync the contact of my Nokia 6500 to my mac book pro…….it appears the message “this device is not supported by Isync”,

Kindly guide

Thanks for the advice Michel.
But that was exactly the thing i wanted to prevent :S
Well but if it is the best and probably the only solution i’ll do it ;).

The point is, that i’d like to have the contacts somehow sorted into Groups (for the ringtones, group sms and so on). Is there a way to let the Groups be created an the contacts sorted into them by ISync, that they are exactly like they are sorted in Adressbook, or is this imposible and i have to go on sorting them manualy on the phone (thats the thing i hate if i had to delete the contacts from the phone ;))

Greetings,
Yannick

Yannick: I have no idea. Haven’t tried sorting contacts in groups. It probably doesn’t work so I don’t recommend you deleting your contacts for sync if you want to keep your phone groups ;). I’ve sorted my Address Book contacts in groups but there are no group information in my phone.

Michael, its guys like you that make the world a better place. Thanks.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the Plugin! The message from iSync was that the sync was unsuccessful but when I checked my phone, the contacts were all transferred from my address book to my 6500.

Thanks again!

Just noticed a problem though. When I re-Sync my 6500 to my Mac, it wants to delete all my contacts on my addressbook. :( it doesn’t seem to remember the last time the devices were sync.ed.

Erwin: Yep, no good solution for that issue. Either you can wait a day or so and try to sync again or you’ll have to erase your phone contacts and perform a fresh sync. Read under “Known issues” in the blog post.

Like you i’ve sorted my Adress Book Contacts into Groups, that’s not the point, but there aren’t group informations on the phone (same thing you descirbed ;) ).
Recreating the groups on the phone and sorting the contacts into them isn’t such a big problem, too. A work of half an hour.
It would be more comfortable if it would work automaticly, but like i said, it isn’t such a big problem.

Thank’s again for this great plugin (the guy at the cellphone store said it wouldn’t be a problem to sync the phone with iSync and that there are existing plugin originally form nokia, what was obvisously a lie, so I’m really glad that you develloped this plugin :D )
I’m really looking forward to the next release, may be with contact photos or something like that? ;)

Greetings,
Yannick

Using Mac (10.5.3)and iSync 3.02 (574.0), with a Nokia 6500 Classic (updated to V 04.84) and iSync hangs, then asks to check data connection.

Any ideas?

Hi Michel,

just tried your plugin and it appears to work fine. Thanks for doing Nokia’s job…

Cheers
Carsten

Hi Michel,

I got the same problem like Paul H (25.6.2008):

Using Mac (10.5.3) and iSync 3.02 (574.0), with a Nokia 6500 Classic and iSync hangs.

Greetings
Georg

Hi Michel,

now everything works fine! Here you can find the solution for this problem:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=en_US

I had to reset the syncservices folder.

Thank’s for this plugin :-)

Georg

Thank you Georg! I’ve added the link to the post.

I’m trying to check the option to sync calendars but I get this message:

“Before you can synchronize your calendars, you need to open a calendar application that supports synchronization and create at least one writable calendar.”

I’ve opened iCal but have no idea how to create a writable calendar. Can you please help?

Just wanted to say thanks for a great plug-in — it worked perfectly for me and it’s nice to see the proper icon in iSync at last!

I slightly modified this plugin to work under Tiger (I even did not try the original, it has not the plugin icon, so I edited it before copying into ~/Library) and it works like marvel. Thanks a lot.

Tania: In iCal, choose File->New Calendar. Please see the iCal help for information on how to use iCal.

Logout: Great work! Could you upload it to your blog so I can link to the blog post? I think there are more Tiger users who would appreciate it =).

Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to help us Nokia 6500 users. I am overjoyed that my phone and ical are in sync. However, for some reason my contacts won’t exchange. Apologies if you’ve answered this before, I’ve gone back through the posts on your page and I can’t find any replies about one application working but not another.
Thank you again, you’ve made things a lot easier for me.

Tina: Either your contacts is stored in the SIM-card or it’s an annoying bug I’m having problems removing.

Thanks for the program. Much appreciated! Hope you get the recognition you deserve from those big companies who haven’t been so helpful.

Thanks for this great, great plugin! Its been great, but there’s only one issue that I’ve seen – It is never able to sync all of my Birthdays from iCal.

has anyone else come across this issue? It syncs some, but not all of my birthdays, and always prompts with a warning in isync stating not all of them got synced to the phone?

Thanks for your kind care and support.
I tried it with my mac OS X 10.5.4
My device was recognized, sync. (used your latest version) contact sync started for about 70% of the data then it fails to progress with this message
” [Nokia 6500c] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed”
Thank you again and looking forward for your suggestions.

Sorry, but I didn’t mention that i tried the above shown solutions and unfortunately, it didn’t work out :(
Thank you…

when can you make the 6500 slide an isync option? manythanks

Thanks a lot!

Michel: Sure I can and during this weekend I will upload it, make short post about it in english and link it here.

You, my friend, are a legnerend. OK, it’s a weak pun, but you’ve just totally saved me hours of manual uploading just as I’d given up on autosync. Thank you thank you thank you….

thanks a lot guys!!!
worked perfectly for me

Hi Michel

Thanks for the plug.
At first I did not understand where to put the plugin and created HOME/Library/PhonePlugins instead of right clicking on the Isync in the Applications directory and finding the PhonePlugins directory.

James Lloyd website helped me find the solution.

Thanks again.

Hi, My sync stops at 250 contacts (out of 400+) and then leaves me a message that the sync has been interrupted and I should check connection. Any tips for me?

Hello,

I finnaly managed to put Nokia 6500 Classic iSync plugin for MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) on my site. It is available here – http://code.i-logout.cz/2008/08/nokia-6500-classic-tiger-isync-plugin.html

Feel free to report any bugs.

I installed the nokia 6500 classic plugin on my mac osx 10.5.4, contacts sync did not work (except for new entries on the phone, these were copied to the computer’s address book). I stored all contacts on the phone memory, not on the SIM as mentioned in various comments. Next sync erased all the contacts on the phone!!!…………????

Hey,

thanks for this plugin!!!

everything works fine on my mbp with osx 10.5.4

A quality piece of work many thanks for all your efforts!

BTW never use the Nova Media Plugins they do not work and the support is non existent.

I found it possible to sync photos by adding the following settings in the plug-in maker:
Contacts -> Photo -> More
Reduce image size when size is above 8192 bytes
Max image height = 64 pixels
Max Image width = 64 pixels

Keep up the good work, (it seems nokia or apple aren’t prepared to)

Hi,
I’m just looking for a way to back up my Nokia 6500 phone contacts on my Mac? This program put my computer contacts on my phone, but not the other way around. I’m new to the whole sync thing — is that what it is supposed to do — or are the phone contacts supposed to go into the address book too???

thannks a lot

genuis! well done sir

thanks a million

I owe you a drink, many thanks.

Hello,

I’ve the same problem as Kate.
The contacts on my Mac go on my 6500C, but the contacts on my 6500C don’t go in the Adress Book …

That’s quite uncool =(

Thank you for your help

Baptiste

hmm maybe we should wait a little bit for that drink…

I tried to resync (selecting the option to only sync contacts with phone number) and the critical error that would erase my whole addressbook appeared! Is the option to sync contacts with phone numbers only supported at all?

I tried to reset everything and resync, but I got into weird issues, including duplicate entries on the device.

I’ll keep experimenting (after a backup of my addressbook, obviously) and post the results.

hi there,

i am new to this..
just bought a nokia 6500c…
tried to pair it with iSYNC…
says it cannot connect with device…

how to start….

please help me.. thanks thanks….

hello there!

great piece of work, fantastic! I used it to sync calendars ( not risking contacts as of yet) and it worked fab.

many many thanks

Hi,

My 6500 and MacBook seem to link up until the message, ‘This device is not supported by isync’ keeps popping up.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Nice one, works a treat!

Hi,

I didn’t leave that reply above, so if anyone still has ideas please let me know.

Thanks

Joe

Hi Michel!

I tried this plugin on 10.4 and I got the familiar error that “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed.”

When I went to reset Bluetooth to give it another try, one of the icons in my Active Standby shortcut bar had disappeared – specifically, the answerphone shortcut, which I imagine is probably a custom plugin or somesuch. I can put it back into the bar, but it disappears again when I reboot the phone. A factory reset of settings didn’t change this. Has this happened to anyone else?

Scott

Hi,

First, thanks for the plugin!
Only one issue, the same as deep on July 12th, 2008 at 16:00. It doesn’t sync all my birthdays… The Birthday Calendar in iCal is automatically created with the information it gets from the address book. Might this be the reason?

Andreas

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin,

I’m trying to use it to sync a Nokia 6300 and 6500 classic together (contacts being on the 6500 being moved to a blank 5300), and it only migrates one contact, the address book on the mac also appears to be empty – any ideas (running leopard btw).

Hi,
Thanks for this.
It appears I have a similar problem to a couple of other posters – my calendar on my 6500classic is synchronised with iCal, and that seems to work fine, but my contacts list in my phone is not synchronising with Address book.
Is there any reason for this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Ric

Thanks a lot for the plugin it is great help
Kate

Hiya.. having some problems!

Followed your instructions and saved the plug in PhonePlugins however isync cant find my phone when i try and add a device.

Your thoughts?

Many thanks,

Will

Many thanks, trying to kick MS and go completely mac, this is one of the final hiccups out of the way. Now if you could just rewrite Messenger for Mac 7.0 I’ll be sorted ;-)

Thanks again!

Millsy

Hi Michel

nice work, great tool !

Some of my contacts are not synchronised, any ideau how come ? There is no pattern between them.

Many thanks

Laurent

Hello,
thanks for your great work, but I got the following problem.
in Adressbook I have an folder called Nokia and the synchronisation is to that folder.
it works perfec when I change something in my adressbook, then on the 6500, its also changes; but when I make a new contact in my phone, then he puts it not in my synchronisation folder Nokia, but in All Contacts.
any idea what goes wrong?

How i may contact admin this site? I have a question.
iijiivei

Got it to sync finally after 1,5 hours, but the connection seem very unstable. any thoughts?

The site very professional! Keep up the good work! Oh yes, one extra comment – maybe you could add more pictures too! So, good luck to your team!

Help, I have used this in the past but my old mac had to be completely refurbed and lots of apps were lost. I cant link to the plug in here, a couple of updates but I cant download the plug in. It worked brilliantly before but cant get it now.

Hey guys..

I’m lost.. I can’t sync my nokia 6500 classisc with Isync!
It seems as if Michael’s pugin can help me, but I really don’t know how to make it work.. How do I install it?

Hi. I’m using macosx 10.5.5 Leopard, and isync 3.0.2. I’ve been trying to sync my 5220 XpressMusic with my mac. So, I downloaded your script, (and replace every “6500 classic” to “5220 XpressMusic” with the same kind of writing, so if there’s no spaces, i use no spaces, and such). I also tried to put the phone plug-in at the .>user>library>phoneplugin folder, or in the isync.app i right clicked>show package content>contents>plug-in>and so forth. But still i couldnt sync it,….it’s driving me mad. I still haven’t had contact list on my phone til now, and to think i have to input it manually, or copy from my sim card,..arrrggghh. Help please, anyone?

this is awesome! thank you!!!

Hi!

Thanks a lot for a plugin!

I’ve synced my Nokia 6500 with Mac OS X (iSync 2.4) once – and it worked. But when I’ve tried to sync it another time – it doesn’t work. This massage emerges: “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been cancelled on the phone. Device “Yu” synchronization failed”. Restarting Bluetooth and iSync don’t help.

What can be wrong this time?

Hey,

I synchronised, and it worked! But the 2nd time, it just synched 138 contacts out of 160… don’t know why. And same problem and dialogue box of the failure…

I tried restarting bt, even the phone. but nothing….

too much data? don’t know

Great Work, thank you for doing this for everyone.

One tiny addition to the instructions:

make sure you move Nokia-6500-0.4.ppdoc to Library as well as the .phoneplugin file

cheers

Jack

Great work!
Can i save messeges via isync? and how to do that???
thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the great plugin.

Yet I have one slight problem already posted by some users (Baptiste on the 29th of August and Kate on the 23rd of August 2008). All my adresses go from my mac to the phone but phone adresses don’t show in the mac adress book.

I could not see the answer in the thread…

Thanks for your help,

Ulrich

Hi. I’ve tried everything to sync my Nokia 6500c using your plug in, to no avail. I’m running OS 10.5.6 and iSync 3.0.2. Any ideas?? Many thanks.

Hi Neo&Yulia
I got the same message: “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone. Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed.”
I ended up deleting all calender events on my phone (turned off and on bluetooth as described in the beginning) and then it worked – a bit irritating though :(

Has anyone found a solution to copying birthdays onto the Nokia 6500c? I’ve seen questions but no answers

Thanks
Mark

sorry lads
probably due to my lack of mac experience i am not too sure where to put the plugin file, “.phoneplugin to ~/Library/PhonePlugins” . but where is that
Cheers
Jm

The error with the synchronization is due to an error hwen placing the Nokia-6500.PhonePlugin in the wrong Library. A friend of mine had problems syncing when placing in an erroneous Library. Remembering that ~ means your homedirectory removes the problem…

I am trying to sync my Nokia 6500 classic with my mac (leopard & ISync),Isync recornises my phone and has even synchronised a little bit (calender). Nut now it has stopped working and I get the message: “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
Device “Nokia 6500c” synchronization failed.”.

I have tried the solution mentioned above: “Restart iSync and restart bluetooth in your phone. Be sure to not have any dialogs open in your phone while syncing.” But this doesn’t work. Is there someone with a smart solution?

Thanks, Jorrit

Good work fella. Works for me. Any chance of adding sync for the ‘Note’ field as well?

How come when I sync, everything gets doubled? Weird.

thanks for this plugin. however, i’ve got problems with it. i was able to successfully install the plugin but when i synchronize my phone with my macbook (leopard), it stops at 132 over my 583 contacts. I’ve tried all the versions beginning at version 2 up to the latest, still to no avail. I always got the same problem with the message “data transfer not possible. check data connection.” help, anybody pls

Pls. see my earlier post, I still have the same problem. If I place the file in the phoneplugin folder, do I have to place it in a specific subfolder or is it just ok to place the Nokia-6500.phoneplugin folder in ‘phoneplugin’ folder?

I just don’t understand some have these problems and some don’t have them?

Hope to get some help to solve this.

Thanks!

J.

Works great…!
