iSync v 2.1 & Sony Ericsson P900 with both Powerbook & a PC

Problem: iSync now drops out. Used to work fine (last 12 months) however, I now also need to sync the phone to a PC (Tosh Tecra M4) and MS outlook. Since the fist sync with the PC, the sync with the Mac now drops out and won't complete. Seems to be on the calendar sync where it fails.
- have made several tries
- have tried deleting device from iSync and then added again
- PC sync seems to still work fine

A description of both machines and the most recent error messages from both follows.

For what its worth, I've got the same error exactly. P900, isync 2.1, OS X 10.4.2, iMac G5. It will sync agenda for me, but wont do contacts. Looks like this "isync agent" on the phone is crashing.

I've also tested and retested, paired, unpaired and repaired.

If anyone has made this work, I'd be interested.

I'm guessing that you corrupted the iSync agent with the PC sync, probably because the iSync agent is Mac specific. Maybe when you installed the utilities on your PC, they got transferred to the P910, and, again, corrupted the iSync Agent.

You probably should choose which machine you want to use, and stick with it. If you choose the Mac again, you will have to do a RESET DEVICE in iSync, so that it can reinstall iSync Agent.
