Where the heck is isync on Mavericks?
Hey guys,
I am trying to sync Nokia C5 with Mavericks. Any help would be much appreciated.
Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
iSync was deprecated in Lion and removed in Mavericks, sorry.

I was going to suggest checking 3rd party software, but I'm late.

You are expected to use iCloud to sync your phone. Missing Sync for Nokia is not compatible with Lion and Mountain Lion (the site doesn't even recognize the existence of Mavericks) and has apparently been discontinued:
Hey guys thanks for the immediate replies, I will have a look at the software above. It's just a bit annoying that a free standard feature like isync (well, I've upgraded from Snow Leopard...) and now it's gone just like that...
Hi Roger, I replied before I see yours...I will check icloud then.Thanks for your time guys!
Although, with just a quick look it seems that apple is talking only for iphone syncing...we'll see...

Apple only support IOS for phones, there is a 3rd party utility (SmoothSync) for Android devices, you'll have to find one for Nokia.
I had this same problem and got the following advice from Apple support:
first, verify that your computer and iOS devices are all using the same Apple ID
If the IDs are the same, create a new event on your iOS device, call it Test
On your macbook or desktop, sign in to www.icloud.com
Open the Calendar app and verify that the new event shows correctly
If it isn't there then the syncing problem is between the iOS and iCloud
Assuming that the Test event is showing, exit iCloud.com
Open Calendar on your macbook or desktop
If the event is not there, Open Preferences, Accounts and select iCloud
Find the "enable account" box and uncheck it
Note, if it wasn't checked in the first place, that was probably the cause of the problem.
Restart your computer
Return to Calendar, Preferences, Accounts, iCloud and tick the box to enable the account
The new event should now appear in your Calendar.
Next delete that new event
Check that the event has been deleted from iCloud.com and from your iOS devices
If it is still on the iOS device, navigate to Settings and ensure Push data is turned on for Calendar.
This worked for me.
This seems unrelated to synching other types of phones to Apple's contact list.
This seems to be only for smartphones. I need a sync for my dumb phone.
