Nokia 6500 classic and slide plugin

I have a Nokia 6500 Classic. I have tried a sync plug-in in Tiger. Have now Leopard and it syncs only calendar. It goes through half of the contacts, then the phone crashes and reboots?

I am willing to beta test.

The classic plugin works great, though the 6500 slide I havnt heard of anyone getting it to work yet.

Works like a charm for 6500 classic.

FYI I have found a solution for the Slide too now, not my work but work all the same. Can link can be found under my classic plugin

i have the same problem. It crashes halv way throughc contacts.
have you any resolution for this?

Hi,

Can you please share with us, what works with you plugin for the Nokia 6500?
I'm a potential Nokia 6500 buyer and would like to know which plugin you use and what actually works..

Thanks.

hey James,

I used your plug-in for a 6500 classic and it worked beautifully but I have an issue. When i synced, all the contacts that were copied to my phone disappeared from my address book (the others stayed - ie the ones without phone numbers). when I tried to re-sync them back from the phone I lost everything (250 contacts). Is this an iSync issue, a phone issue, a plug in issue, an OS issue, a mac issue....?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thank you.

Ok, bought the phone and it just works perfectly with my macbook.
I modified an iSync plugin for the nokia 6500 classic by doing the following:

1. Search for the "MetaClasses.plist" file in the package contents of the application iSync (iSync > Contents > PlugIns > ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice > Contents > PlugIns > PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin > Contents > Resources > MetaClasses.plist) and replace the keyword 6270 by 6500 in TextEdit.
2. Replace the image file NOK6270.tiff by the image file NOK6500.tiff (this picture should be .tiff and lowercase extension and 60x60px).
3. Add the device in iSync, first make iSync recognise it is a mobile by automatically going through the setup steps and finally add the device and done!

(oh and for your info: i used 230 contacts and 5 filled calendars)

Hopefully this will help anyone who bought this neat phone 🙂

Hi James,

I want to try your plug-in for my Nokia 6500 classic. The instructions you give above the plug-ins list (in the green box) speaks about navigating to the "…Nokia-6131.phoneplugin…". Sorry, but I'm not sure if those instructions refer to the Nokia Series 40 or to any other Nokia model (such as the 6500 classic).

And if it refers to the 6500 classic, should I change references to the 6131 to 6500?

Hi Petter,

My wife has just bought a Nokia 6500 classic and I'm interested in trying out James' plug-in but can you tell me: what exactly can I sync with it? Is it only the address book and calendar, or can I also upload and download such things as pictures, MMS, ringtones, music, etc.?

And from where do I sync the address book and calendar? Is it from my Mac's Address Book and iCal?

I'm running OS X 10.4.11 and using iSync 2.4

Regards,
Vaughan

Hi Swalaza, will you be able to detail the plugin instructions again? I tried following but did not manage to do any sync. Am using iSync 3 and Leopard. How do you 'replace image file'? Just my renaming the tiff file? Thanks a million!

Thanks for the link, that plugin works great. Now the phone is even better, since it's compatible with my MacBook.

Hey all I have used your plugin on the 6500 classic but it is only pulling across the calendar events and not the contacts any ideas why they don't appear in the address book on my iBook?

Thanks

This modification works fine for 6500s...you just replace 6270 or copy 6270 key & dict elements below to make a whole new support detail and make the replacement into that new one. Use 6500s-1 to 6500 slide - it works!
