Nokia 6280 wont pair or isync

Ok I am trying to set up my new nokia 6280 with bluetooth and isync. When I go to bluetooth and select "Set up new device..." It says looking for device, find it then goes to "Gathering infomation about this phone.." and just hangs there.

Normaly I would then get prompted on screen with a pair code and asked to put it into my mobile but it never gets that far.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm running isync 2.2 the mobile is RM v3.65 the latest from Nokia. I should accouding to the isync page be able to do calendar and address book with the phone as I have been about to with my Nokia 6230 for over a year now.

Any help would be great!

Thank you in advance!

PS. I have also tryed to pair the computer from the phone and it find the mac but then says passcode but I have not set one up? HELP!

I have the same problem. It gets to the 'gathering additional information about your device' screen and then hangs.

Yep thats the problem, lets hope someone can give us a solution soon!

I have a feeling it might be an isync problem.

Okay I just tried it again - it seems to load the information properly onto the Bluetooth page of System Preferences, but then after a few seconds the phone disappears. The set-up assistant keeps going though, despite the fact it lost what it was looking for.

Okay got the answer. It turns out it's the bluetooth adapter on your mac that's causing the problem. I had a dodgy USB bluetooth dongle from Indonesia that worked fine with my old Nokia 6600 but didn't work at all with the 6280.

But now I've plugged in a different model bluetooth dongle it works. I found the reasoning behind it here from this discussion here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=454430&tstart=15

Apparently it's some sort of standards conflict.

Good luck getting yours to work Raven!
