iSync with Nokia's new N80 phone?

N80 isn't due in the UK until May. I'll let you know if it works when I get mine then!

Apple's support site ( http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html) reckons the Nokia Series 60 Smartphones will support syncing the following: Address Book, Address Book Pictures, Calendar, and To Do Items. They already specifically list the N70 & N90.

I really look forward to replacing my SE K750i with the N80, but really want iSync support too!

LG

Iworks very well

I've had my N70 synching fine. I got the N80 today and haven't had success YET. 🙂

Hi,

there's another thread about iSync 2.2 and Nokia N71:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=455094&tstart=0

The suggested solution (see the blog site given in the thread) works fine for the N71 apparently, and I managed to adapt it to me Nokia E60 just by changing all the strings "N71" to "E60". Maybe the same trick works for the N80????

Fingers crossed,

Thomas

I will try this later tonight and let you know.

🙂

Did anybody try the link ( http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html) suggested by Stone2006? I am interested in getting this phone, but syncing with my mac is crucial. Thanks to all who have the phone already for sharing their progress.

I did give a a quick try tonight from my PB G4 17 (not my G5) to my N80 without success. I am going to try again tomorrow with a fresh start and will post the results.

this website claims you can isync the N80:

for the cost of 9 euros. i am still waiting for my N80, but can someone try this out for me in the meantime?

cheers,

hello,

i remember getting a SE phone before it was supported and changing some sort of script things to get it to work, but i'm not of the technical level where i know exactly what to with the solution you post Harri.

if your solution works, would you mind telling us how what files to modify? my n80 arrived yesterday...

look forward to hearing back from you,

cheers,

nick.

Hi Nick,

The file you need to change is (control-click iSync application to open it)

/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/
Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plis t

Just duplicate the entry for N90 and replace the "N90" strings with "N80-1" - I did it with BBEedit. Take all the usual precautions (make backup, check and double-check syntax with plutil etc.).

Cheers,
Harri

well that all worked perfectly! thank you very much harri.

enjoy the rest of the weekend.

nick.

I did get it to work with the changes posted above.

The key (for me) was to make sure it was "N80-1" (not just N80).

Synched 516 contacts plus a ton of calendar entries and seems to be working quite well.

One odd thing was that it didn't ask to install the synching software as my N70 (and 6600 etc) had.

Thanks for the hint!
