Isync transfers data to Ical from Nokia 5800, but not the other way round

When I sync my Nokia 5800 using Isync, diary entries from my phone are moved onto my Mac, but entries made on my Mac are not transferred to my phone. This leaves my phone calendar without any entries. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug? Does anyone know how to transfer this data back into my phone? My contacts swap both ways no problem. I have installed the Nokia 5800 app. Many thanks.

Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Nokia 5800

Have you done any basic troubleshooting, such as clicking *Reset Sync History...* in iSync Preferences, or choosing *Reset Device...* from the Devices menu. Those two things solve most syncing issues.

Have you made sure that the appropriate calendars are selected in iSync for syncing to the phone, by clicking the phone's icon in the iSync window?

I'm not sure what else to suggest. As the Nokia 5800 is not natively supported by iSync you must be using an iSync Plugin, so I'd advise contacting the author of the plugin - it may be buggy and need fixing.

Julian, I tried 'reset device' again, and for some reason it's worked this time. I'm a bit spooked by this and will avoid calendar syncs in future, but I really appreciate your help, thanks very much.
