Fantastic advice. All worked perfectly. Had to adjust slightly for a Nokia 6301 but same principals applied.

Thanks.

Hey…Thanks for this great instruction, it worked out up to the point when my mac recognized my Nokia 6300 with the icon- isync then says, “not supported by isync”…what does that mean?

Thank you so much!

Almost impossible to believe how easy it would be for the big companies to make their customer’s lives easier. In the example by doing a simple copy/paste job of 5 minutes. But they are so clumsy and disorganized, and it seems they just don’t care.

Great article. Worked perfectly.
Many thanks.
(NB some of the folder names are a little different under Snow Leopard
10.6.4 iSync version 3.1.1)
I found the plist file at
iSync::Contents::Plugins::ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice::Contents::Plugins::PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin::Contents::Resources

Also I had to use sudo command to replace the MetaClasses.plist file because of permissions restrictions

Thanks for this good and working help, to syncronice the mac with the Nokia 6300. Its the first time, I made a change inside a software-package, so I was a bit nervous, if it works.

Thank you, thank you and thank you again. You saved me from entering 676 contacts onto my phone by following your procedures

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I was getting pissed always having to do manual transfer. Insane.

Time to sync and finally move onto other phones

the 6300 is still great, but alas after 5 years of great service it’s finally crapping out.
Best phone I’ve ever had, still looks sharp, too.

I changed to snow leopard and can´t find the metaclasses.plist file. Do you know how it works? Greetings

Hi Brent,

Many thanks. I must have overlooked John’s comment. I implemented iDrops’ code, as John recommends. But after some testing and changing, I’ve ONLY changed the SyncEngine.plist. Now it seems to be working just fine. Yiha. Please bear in mind that some pictures may cause some problems. Since I am not using pictures, I’ve removed all and that’s it.

Thanks again.

Hi Marnix;

I switched to iPhone last year, but according to John’s comment above, on April 22nd, 2008, there is a way to get birthday syncing working.

Good luck!

Hey Brent,
Cool to read all those comments. I got here because I am looking for a way to sync birthdays. [Normal syncing works fine, due to a plugin I had found somewhere long time ago.]

Is there a thing for this as yet? I have 6300 pwbG4 OsX10.4.11.
With Leopard all works fine, including birthdays?

Thanks.

Me too does’t work.
iSync sees the phone but when trying to sync I get this message.
“Device is not available or synchronization was cancelled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again. Device synchronization failed.”

Anyone has a sollution?
