Nokia 6600, 6600i and 3600 iSync Plugins

Posted: November 5th, 2008 | Tags: , , , |

Here is area few iSync plugins I have written for Nokia Phones:

To install:

  1. Unzip to your desktop
  2. Open up finder and go to your Home Folder -> Library
  3. If the folder PhonePlugins (no space) doesn’t exist, create it
  4. Copy Nokia-6600-Slide.phoneplugin to the PhonePlugins folder
  5. Restart iSync then add a device

    Hello Paul,

    at first thank you for the Plugin. I downloaded it but still did not test it.

    Just a question: Is there still some experience if the plugin works with the Nokia 6600 fold, too?
    I have got the 6600 slide, but I think 6600 fold and slide use a very similar software. Perhaps someone could try, find out and leav a comment here.

  2. 2 Paul said at 1:15 pm on November 6th, 2008:

    Hi Frank,

    I doubt it will work as they have a slightly different identification string. I can try and produce one, however I have no way of testing it, would you be willing to test it?

    Paul

  3. 3 Frank said at 8:23 pm on November 6th, 2008:

    Hi Paul!

    At first: THANK YOU! A Very good piece of work! Much better than my poor attempts of programming… ;-)

    It was just an idea to help people who use an Nokia 6600 fold and need a plug-in too. I am afraid you are right and the identification strings will be definitively different. And, I agree with you, it will cause problems with the shake-hands between iSync (Mac) and phone.

    But I can only say that it was enough just to change two or three strings in a certain MetaClasses.plist file to create my crude “6600 slide support” which works not perfectly but for the simple method quite well!

    Just let me mention: Nokia 3600 sild seems to be quite similar to Nokia 6600 slide, too. But do not start to write any programme for this phone, if there is anybody else who asks for these programmes.

    A big thanks for this plug-in, not sure if this is a glitch or a problem with settings with my mac but when syncing timed events in ical it ends up one hour earlier on the phone??? Any help with this.
    Thanks
    Rob

  5. 5 Paul said at 10:16 am on November 7th, 2008:

    Hi Rob, I’m not sure why this is - maybe check you have the same timezone on your phone and Mac? Mine is GMT on both.

    hello and thx for the attempt… still, it’s not working on my Mac 10.5.5 / localization
    I installed both in home - library - PhonePlugins and root- - library - PhonePlugins… still not working, any clue on what to do ? thx anyway.

  7. 7 TheGuit said at 11:44 am on November 9th, 2008:

    Thanks for th plugin

    I just tested it and it works great…

    just one advice : beware if you have contacts stored on your SIM : they will be doubled on your cell phone and not on your Mac adress book. You may have some data cleaning to do, but this is to be expected when you merge two sets of data !
    (I wish it wern’t such a mess in my contacts, but definitely this plugin will make my life easier)

    A big thanks for this Plugin

  9. 9 Martin said at 7:50 am on November 12th, 2008:

    Thanks a lot for the PlugIn. It works perfect.
    I am a german man and use it on an german os x. Just my Events in my Calendar has all the wrong timestamp. Every beginning time is one hour to early. Maybe of course you wrote the plugin for britians? Is it posible to change the settings? If Yes, where can I change it myself?
    Thanks a lot.

  10. 10 Frank said at 7:58 pm on November 12th, 2008:

    I am German, too. And I have no problems with any timed events in my calenders. I use Mac OS 10.4.11 with iSync 2.4 and iCal 2.0.5.

    Could the problem be caused by a certain feature of 10.5 (Leopard)?

  11. 11 Ian Faulconbridge said at 12:53 am on November 13th, 2008:

    Hi Paul,
    I have a 6600 fold and as expected your plugin doesn’t work with this phone. If someone was able to describe what I needed to do and how to find the phone’s information, I would be happy to attempt to modify your plugin to create the 6600 fold plugin. Please let me know as I am keen to sync my phone and my Mac.

  12. 12 Alex said at 1:51 pm on November 14th, 2008:

    Thx so much! Nokia answered my email but those lazy bones didn´t bring up a plugin yet. I was already considering buying a new mobile. Until you brought up one!!

    THANK YOU!

  13. 13 Martin said at 7:36 pm on November 14th, 2008:

    Hi Frank,

    maybe it is caused of my System. I use Leopard. But I don’t know wich problem it could be. Is there ANYBODY who could help me?

    Thanks a lot.

  14. 14 Frank said at 4:10 pm on November 15th, 2008:

    Hi Martin,
    I remember other iSync-Plugins (for other Nokia cellphones) with a similar or even the same problem. But: I do not remeber the solution. Perhaps different timezone in telephone and computer or the version of Mac OS?
    At the top, Rob reports such a problem, too.

    I could imagine, there is a problem because of daylight saving. I do not know the possible settings of my phone and the current settings of my Mac. Did you still compare Mac’s and Nokia’s timezone and dayligth saving settings?

  15. 15 Vic said at 2:36 am on November 16th, 2008:

    Hi Paul, I have a 6600 fold and would be able to test the plugin for this model. Please let me know. Thanks.

  16. 16 Zofie said at 11:31 am on November 17th, 2008:

    Has anyone solved how to make Nokia 6600 fold compatible with isync? Im about to buy one, but will reconsider if it cannot sync with my mac…

  17. 17 Gilles ETOUBLEAU said at 6:58 pm on November 20th, 2008:

    Hello,

    I have problems with this plugin :
    1/it does not sync around 50 contacts (on 223) from the mac, different ones each time I sync - i have the alert from the mac while the phone says everything is fine.
    2/ it adds the notes on the calendar without removing former ones, so I have 4 times the same note after 4 sync.

    Do you have a solution ?
    Thanks anyway for the job done !

  18. 18 Daniel S. said at 4:49 pm on November 26th, 2008:

    Thank you!
    Works perfectly with my nokia 6600 slide and mac osx 10.5.5.

    Merci, it’s OK, (on MacOS 10.5.5)
    Plugin does’t works when I leave it into Home/Librayry/PhonePlugins, but it works perfectly in Root/Librairy/PhonePlugins.

  26. 26 Karl said at 2:34 pm on December 18th, 2008:

    Thank you so much, seems it saves my Christmas gift, was thinking about another mobile.
    I too had to copy it into the Root Library as Pierre-Louis told obove.

    Hello,

    has anybody experience how to synchronize the iCal birthday entries only from the subscribed addressbook calendar? Seems there is a problem, only a part of the entries will be synchronized.

    Thank you

  29. 29 Mark Draheim said at 8:23 pm on December 19th, 2008:

    Sweeeeeeet!!!!! You are amazing! Thank you for posting this! Just picked up a 6600 slide from HK and love it! I have 10.5.5 and synced up contacts & ical no prob!

    Thanks for all the comments too - I just wiped my SIM clean before syncing to avoid all the dups.

    Thanks!

  30. 30 Toni said at 1:43 am on December 20th, 2008:

    I’ve tried the download for the 660 slide but isync still says “isync cannot connect to this device” and ” this device is not supported by isync”
    how can I fix this?

  31. 31 Mark said at 2:00 am on December 20th, 2008:

    I had to connect to the phone via the bluetooth drop-down menu (upper right corner of the mac dashboard). Then select mobile phone. once I connected via that menu the isync recognized the phone. Try that.

    Can you please help me and write any programme for this phone?

    Thanks in advance!

  34. 34 Vic said at 10:35 am on December 23rd, 2008:

    I have the plugin in the correct folder and yet it doesn’t want to detect my fold. Get device not supported. Damn it.

  35. 35 Mani said at 2:56 pm on December 23rd, 2008:

    To Vic: Be sure the the file ist in right folder:
    Root/Library/PhonePlugins/Nokia-6600-Fold-phoneplugin/Content . . . . . .
    You can not place the “6600-Fold”-Folder from the unziped File dircect to Root/Library/Phoneplugins. Be sure you choos “Nokia-6600-Fold-phoneplugin”-Folder.

    Any ideas on how to handle this? Tried with folder both places and reinstalled unit on isync, but the same happens every time…

    Paul, I recently purchased a 6600 slide, installed your plug-in and it worked. However, after upgrading the firmware on the 6600 last weekend, iSync seems to quit syncing at 2% everytime I try. Any ideas?

    hi man it works like as smooth as silk.
    sync both my contacts and calender entries.
    i would change the instructions to make it more clear which folder to copy into phonePlugins. otherwise, it’s perfect.

    you are the man!
    thank you. boaz

  46. 46 Ray said at 7:43 pm on January 22nd, 2009:

    Paul, thanks for the plug-in.
    Anyone know if updating the 6600 Slides firmware will render this plug-in useless. Nokia has a firmware update for the 6600 Slide; version 4.81 to ver 5.60?
    To check your 6600’s firmware version, enter *#0000#
    In otherwords, is anyone using Paul’s plug-in with ver 5.60 firmware on their 6600 Slide?

  47. 47 Meindert said at 7:54 pm on January 22nd, 2009:

    Ray, see my message (4 up). After I upgraded the 6600 to V5.23, iSync didn’t work with this phone anymore.

  48. 48 Ray said at 8:10 pm on January 22nd, 2009:

    Meindert, thanks for the reply. Nokia has an updated firmware for the 6600 Slide V5.60. Perhaps you should try updating again as that might correct the iSync problem. Let me know how that works out.

  49. 49 Ludovic said at 8:25 pm on January 22nd, 2009:

    I use the plugin with the 6600 Slide V5.60 .
    iSync work great … But some contacts did not appear on the phone … I don’t find the solution … except to make a modification on the contacts panel, make a sync and after it’s ok …

  50. 50 Meindert said at 6:06 pm on January 23rd, 2009:

    The most recent firmware here in the Netherlands is 5.23 (just updated over-the-air)

  51. 51 Ray said at 6:46 pm on January 23rd, 2009:

    Meindert, here is the Nokia Europe link to update firmware to ver 5.60.

  53. 53 MSZ said at 7:00 am on January 25th, 2009:

    Hi, I downloaded the plugin, and it aparently works. However when I try to sync, it stops at 53% (as per phone’s display) everytime. I have done everything, yet it always stops at 53%, eventually stopping at following message on phone:

    “Data transfer not possible. Check data connection.”

    and the following message appears on iSync:

    “Sunday, January 25, 2009 1:55 PM
    [My 6600] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.
    Device “My 6600” synchronization failed.”

    Pls advise what could be the problem?

    Hey Paul!
    You are an absolute legend and a lifesaver! I just bought a 6600 fold and it didn’t work with iSync and I was totally peeved. Then I simply googled “iSync not working with nokia 6600 slide” and your page popped up straight away! I followed the instructions, and it worked straight away! Thanks sooo much, you saved me taking the phone back!!!!

    Works brilliantly for contacts - Thank you!

    Only problem is I can’t sync my ical, it says I have to open ical first. ical opens but then when I check the ‘calendars’ box, the same message about ical needing to be open comes up (when it is already open).

    Any ideas?

    Oh no. It’s stopped working. I don’t know why! UUURGGGHHH! I’m so angry! It just freezes at 69%. Any suggestions? I’ve reinstalled the plugin multiple times etc etc…

  59. 59 Drew said at 6:49 am on February 8th, 2009:

    Hey, using the plugin but getting strange results with syncing. Not all my contacts are sync’d and I’ve notice some contacts are actually deleted from my Address book on my mac. Have the hour early problem as well. Any Advice, it’s driving me crazy.

  60. 60 DrTebi said at 11:53 am on February 12th, 2009:

    Thank you for this plugin!

    It worked great for me. I only wanted it to sync my calendars, so I cannot speak for the address book sync. But the iCal sync worked great.

    Hello Paul,

    I have tried everything. My 6600 is on verstion 5.6. I have put your plugin in all the different libraries and it is just impossible to use Isync. Is there any update of the plugin?
    I feel really bad as it seems that everyone manage to use your plugin successfully.
    Cheers

    Hi Paul.

    Just got my 6600 slide from Ebay this morning, only to realised did not check before buying if a syn plug-in is available, or if listed as available in my Nova Media plug-in options; not available in the Nova media options — Then discovered your plug-in; In less time it takes a cow to shake it’s ass, I had synced all my Addresses and calendars Vola!

    Anyone need any advise, let us know.

  65. 65 vera said at 5:26 pm on March 6th, 2009:

    hi paul

    thanks a lot for your plugin. but somehow i just can’t get it to work properly. i can add the phone to isync but it always stops at a certain point during the synchronisation and no data is transferred.

    do you have an idea what could cause this problem?

    thanks in advance!
    v.

  66. 66 Anders said at 2:22 pm on March 9th, 2009:

    Hi

    Tried the Fold plugin, which unfortunately didn’t work. Isync was able to find my phone, but then just duplicated the events in my calendar and my contact information on my computer. So now I have all my entries twice on my mac, but none on my cell phone. Thanks for trying, though. Hope this is helpful.

  67. 67 Chris MCNAUGHTON said at 2:05 am on March 21st, 2009:

    I used the 6600 plugin. Worked great. Thank you very much.

  68. 68 Patrick said at 2:01 pm on March 24th, 2009:

    Hi, Thanks for the 6600 slide plugin. It worked great on the first sync of Addressbook.

    I had a problem though : when I unzipped the download, it appeared as a standart folder, without the particular “lego” plugin icon. And it was not recognized by Isync.

    So, after putting the folder into the root/library/phoneplugins, what I did was :
    ?-I (get information) on the folder
    then also
    ?-I (get information) on any of the other phone plugins.
    so I had both information windows open.
    Then, from the preview area of the old plugin, I dragged the lego icon onto the same field in the new plugin.
    The result was that the icon changed and the old plugin was inside the new one. In the finder I dragged the old one out of the new folder, back in its normal place, and that was it. I worked.

  69. 69 Patrick said at 2:07 pm on March 24th, 2009:

    “?-I” means “command (apple) - I”

  70. 70 John said at 10:17 am on March 26th, 2009:

    It works. Thanks. It is essential that you delete ALL phone plugins, wherever they are on your mac. I deleted from just my phone plugins folder and it didn’t work, so I also deleted every phone plugin I had on my mac including my downloads folder and a few stray files. I then started again with just the 6600 fold plugin and it worked first time.

    I’ve been trying to get the 6600 fold syncing for months. I love the phone and had resorted to syncing on an old PC!!!

    I can now dump it. thank God.

  71. 71 Jay said at 3:52 am on March 27th, 2009:

    Thanks Paul!

    I just bought my 6600 slide today, downloaded your plugin, and it worked!

    But, we continue to wait for Nokia Multimedia Transfer to support the 6600 slide!!!!

    Anyone know of a solution to upload music and photos from the Mac to the phone?

    Cheers,

    Jay

  72. 72 Jay said at 4:35 am on March 27th, 2009:

    Oops! I spoke too soon.

    Calendar on my Nokia shows events at the wrong time. They seem to be showing the times 11 hours earlier than they appear on iCal. This would be the time difference between my location (Canberra, Australia) and GMT.

    Any solution for this or do I just have to live with it?

    I’ve got the same problem with the wrong time in calendar. Every event starts 1 hour too early (I live in zone GMT+1 +DST). I’ve got a 6600 slide.
    I’m not sure about the solution, but I had the problem with some models of SonyEricsson phones as well so this is totally a Mac matter and either a problem of this plugin.
    I’m just so annoyed that this problem isn’t solved thoughout the net.

    I checked both the time zone at the Mac and my phone. Both are identical. Then I ended up to changed my phone’s time zone one hour later (GMT+2) which made my calendar entries correct. Unfortunately received SMS aren’t shown with the correct time then.

    So, I’ve got no clue what to do. I would really appreciated to get the problem solved.

    You are a genius. Where Nokia and Apple have failed, you have succeeded. Works perfectly. Thank you so much

  78. 78 JM said at 1:38 pm on April 21st, 2009:

    It worked perfectly!! I’ve installed the plugin for Nokia 6600 FOLD in the HD library (not in the user one) and it worked like a charm. Tks!

  79. 79 aziz said at 9:43 am on May 1st, 2009:

    Cheers Paul for making this plug-in and sharing with us all. Installed and works in iSync with out any problems.

    FYI - Any notes that have been added in the address book (it’s where I put names of children, bank details etc) aren’t synced.

  80. 80 angel said at 4:26 am on May 7th, 2009:

    Thank you very much for this plug-in, Paul! Worked on my 2nd try. :)

    I can sync Address Book only though. Calendar events (selected categories) won’t transfer to my 6600 slide. :(

  81. 81 hugh said at 8:49 pm on May 7th, 2009:

    i think there are some problems with sending address data from the phone to address book and back the other way. is there a updated version i downloaded this a while back?
    thanks for your hard work

  85. 85 Lucas Hare said at 11:20 am on May 16th, 2009:

    I have a Nokia 6600 slide. Running 10.5.7 now, but could not make this plugin work now or when I was using 10.5.5. Any advice gratefully received. I’ve followed every instruction I can find and cannot understand why it works for everyone else!

  86. 86 Ricarda said at 5:26 pm on May 20th, 2009:

    Thanks so much, works great with my 6600 fold!

  87. 87 Leit said at 1:21 am on May 22nd, 2009:

    THANK YOU!!!!!
    I had almost given up finding an iSync plugin. I have to admit that I had my doubts about this, but it works perfectly!

  88. 88 Alex said at 2:53 pm on May 29th, 2009:

    Fantastic piece of work!!! My god this saves me hours of time..

    Thank you. Now my calender is full with meetings and my to-do-list is loaded. The only problem was that I had to restart the computer but utherwise i’m satisfied.

  90. 90 Sam said at 9:19 am on June 2nd, 2009:

    I tried the plugin with Nokia 6600 Fold. It seems to work.

  91. 91 Neil said at 5:16 pm on June 6th, 2009:

    Hi Paul

    You’re a star! It worked first go! You have taken the hassle of buying a new Nokia. A pity that they are not on the ball like you.

    Cheers

    Neil

  92. 92 Henrik Persson said at 7:00 am on June 10th, 2009:

    Hi,
    I’m having some problem with the sync. On my nokia 6600 slide the times from iCal on my macbook is one hour early. Ex. if I have a meeting at 8am and I ad it in iCal it will appear as 7am on my mobil. I have GMT + 1 and summertime on both my macbook and my nokia.
    What to do?
    /Henrik

  93. 93 Scott said at 12:30 am on June 13th, 2009:

    Has anyone got this plugin going with 10.5.7? I cant seem to get it going?

  94. 94 aziz said at 6:49 am on June 13th, 2009:

    seems to be working on 10.5.7 for me. But I installed it in 10.5.6

  95. 95 Scott said at 5:41 am on June 14th, 2009:

    AZIZ did you just download then dagg and drop the folder directly into the library folder?

  96. 96 Scott said at 5:44 am on June 14th, 2009:

    Just keeps coming up “This device is not supported by iSync” ?? Annoying!!

  97. 97 Aziz said at 9:20 am on June 14th, 2009:

    I followed the instructions above. Creating a new folder called PhonePlugins (no space) in the library of my home folder. I had already paired the phone and computer with the blue tooth utility in system prefs. and then tried to join in iSync.

    So far no problems.

  98. 98 Brian said at 6:05 pm on June 15th, 2009:

    I installed the plug-in few months ago. It was working perfectly on 10.5.6.

    But with the new update 10.5.7 I’m having some problems to sync.

    can you rewrite the plug-in for 10.5.7?

    thanks

  99. 99 Nica said at 8:52 pm on June 19th, 2009:

    I installed the plug-in, but it doesn’t work. Has anyone an german instruction to install the plug-in. Maybe I did some mistakes. THX

  100. 100 Christian Rishøj said at 9:40 am on June 23rd, 2009:

    Here’s a solution to the problem where calendar entries show up 1 hour early on the phone (for people living in GMT+1 +DST, e.g. Denmark):

    1) Go to Library/PhonePlugins
    2) “Show Package Contents” on Nokia-6600-Fold.phoneplugin
    3) Go to Contents/Resources
    4) Open MetaClasses.plist (with Property List Editor)
    5) Navigate to family.com.nokia.6600fold/Services/Item7/ServiceProperties
    6) Untick hasTimeZone
    7) Save
    8) Restart iSync

  101. 101 Thomas said at 6:02 pm on June 23rd, 2009:

    Have just sync’ed the 6600 fold after installing your program. All seems to works fine! Thanks!!! (I’m using 10.4.11)

    Can you please write a plug-in for 10.5.7?

    Thank you in advance, Alison

  108. 108 Alison said at 3:13 am on July 19th, 2009:

  111. 111 Fabian said at 11:14 am on July 30th, 2009:

    Hello Paul, thank you very much for programming this plug-in! I bought a nokia 6600i slide and after changing the phrase “6600 slide” in “6600i slide” in the plist-files your plug-in works for the new 6600i slide too. Now I only need a picture from the 6600i slide in tiff-format for showing in iSync.

  112. 112 Rebecca said at 6:10 pm on August 3rd, 2009:

    you are a genius…thank you so much for this…worked perfect first time!

  113. 113 RAW said at 5:54 pm on August 4th, 2009:

    You accomplished what the big industry boys couldn’t. Absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t believe this phone wouldn’t work with iSync out the box, thank you so much!

  114. 114 Leo said at 5:03 pm on August 14th, 2009:

    Hello and thanks a bunch!

    I have Leopard and the 6600 slide and it works perfectly.

    Thank you!

  115. 115 Matt said at 12:38 pm on August 25th, 2009:

    Cheers for the help.
    If fails first time, factory reset, pair phone, launch isync again.

    Make mental note to buy iphone next time :)

  116. 116 Rudolf Gantenbrink said at 4:38 pm on August 25th, 2009:

    I also bought the “Nokia 6600i slide” and could make it work, modifying the plugin (like Fabian explained 5 comments above).
    Thanks both of you!

  117. 117 TomS said at 5:10 pm on August 28th, 2009:

    I have 10.6 (snow leopard) and after using Fabian’s slight modification I have iSync recognising my new 6600i. However when I highlight my phone on the iSync toolbar the drop down menu doesn’t appear and when I simply try and sync I get this message

    “Unable to synchronize your device. You need to turn on synchronization for your device and select the contacts and calendars you want to synchronize”

    I am assuming this means getting access to the drop down menu and choosing which calendars etc and when to notify me of changes etc?

    If I’m missing something or of there is something to do on the handset can anyone help?

    Credit for this plugin, it does recognise the 6600i on Snow Leopard

  118. 118 Rune Joergensen said at 8:57 pm on August 31st, 2009:

    Hi Paul

    I have used your plug in for Nokia 6600 Fold. There is a small flaw, some of the birthdays from iCal keep on getting transfered to the phone. So after two syncs you have the same birthday note twice on the calender in the phone… Hope you can use the feedback and thanks for the plug in, its awesome except from the written ;)

  119. 119 frank said at 12:45 pm on September 1st, 2009:

    thank you guys!

    i also use the 6600i slide - and it wont work until i found your plug-in and fabians manual to overwrite it!

    you´re brilliant!

  120. 120 Gunther Dippe said at 12:18 pm on September 3rd, 2009:

    Many thanks Paul!
    The experimental Nokia 6600 Fold plugin seems to work just fine. I’m using it with OS X 10.6.

  121. 121 Jean said at 4:54 am on September 8th, 2009:

    Many thanks Paul.

    The plug in was working fine on Leopard for my 6600 slide. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard & I can’t seem to sync again. I keep getting the error message “Data transfer not possible. Check data connection” on phone & “There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone. Device synchronization failed.” on the mac.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Paul,

    i just bought a NOKIA 6600i slide and i tried to use your Plugin for the 6600 slide on my Mac. I renamed the strings from “6600 slide” to “6600i slide” but it wont work on OS X 10.6

    Would you please have a look? Maybe it is only a few minutes work for you?!

    Thank you

  126. 126 JG said at 1:36 pm on September 13th, 2009:

    Dear Paul,

    First thanks a lot for the sync plugin which I have just started to use!

    I have a problem with it — some entries show up as only having phone numbers in the contact list on the phone after sync. Could it be a bug related to when business contacts as handled? I.e. when there is no first name or second name, just name of company.

  127. 127 sergio collesei said at 9:37 pm on September 14th, 2009:

    Dear Paul,

    thanks for your work.

    I have snow leopard and your plug in works well, but there are two things thats does not synchronize: in contact the “note” field and in calendar the occurrences for birthday.

    Are you able to resolve it?

    Best regards.

  147. 147 thomas said at 2:12 pm on December 10th, 2009:

    Hi FP
    a) be sure to have the plugin in the right folder. Best is put it in the username/library/Phones and the username/library/PhonePlugins folder.

    b) Connect via bluetooth (Turn on the bluetooth option on your Nokia 3600

    c) open iSync and add the N3600

    d) Choose the options what you want to sync (Contacts, Calendars …) I only synced the contacts.

    d) sync (Sometimes it helps to erase the contacts on your N3600 before your first sync)

    Shoud work

    Someone who had a plug-in from you for a Nokia 6600 suggested I contact you re. Nokia/Mac sync problems. I’ve recently got hold of a 6220, but the Nokia-supplied software fails on an ‘error 208′ all the time, at least on USB (don’t have Bluetooth on this Mac).

    Have you done anything with the 6220?

    Best wishes

  155. 155 C@N said at 2:06 pm on January 16th, 2010:

    Hi.

    Thanks for the 6600i Slide plugin.

    Works like a charm.

    But for those who will download that plugin: you should restart your system in order to use the plugin. Otherwise iSync will still say that it is incompatible to sync.

    Thank you so much for the 6600 Fold, appreciate the effort!

    Hi,
    Like many others I had a few problems with syncing the company and also the notes. I managed to resolve it by tinkering around. Not sure if this is the best way of doing it or not but for future reference, this is what I did.

    Backup the file Nokia-6600i-Slide.phoneplugin and also the Address book data beforehand just in case.

    Right click on Nokia-6600i-Slide.phoneplugin
    and select Show Package Contents
    In the new Finder window that opens open the Contents folder and then the Resources folder.

    Open the file MetaClasses.plist in TextEdit
    Search for “needsCompanyNameInFirstName”. The line below this reads:
    Change this to and save and close the file.

    Open the file PhoneConduit.plist in TextEdit
    Search for “com.apple.contacts.Contact”
    Add new “notes” section below this so that the text now reads….

    company name

    maxLength
    500

    first name

    maxLength
    500

    last name

    maxLength
    500

    notes

    charsToStrip
    \
    maxLength
    126

    Save and close the file.

    Open the file SyncEngine.plist in TextEdit
    Search for the text “com.apple.contacts.Contact”.
    Add a line containing “notes” so that this section now reads:
    com.apple.contacts.Contact

    com.apple.syncservices.RecordEntityName
    last name
    company name
    first name
    notes
    email addresses
    phone numbers
    URLs
    street addresses

    Save and close the file.

    Close the finder window that shows the contents of Nokia-6600i-Slide.phoneplugin
    Use this file to install as per Paul Bain’s instructions. I restarted the Mac after this (not sure if this is necessary).

    I had to remove all my contacts on my phone and sync again so that all the new contacts were re-inserted otherwise you may get parsing errors.

    For some reason updates to the notes would not sync without removing the contact and re-inserting them but that’s a minor bug.

    Thanks for these plug-ins but i’v got a problem with the 3600 slide. The plug in seems to works and syncing until 17% and after crashed.

    What can i do ?
