Hi Tiny,

I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.1), 64 bit mode, and installed your iSync plugin Nokia 5300 for Mac OS X Leopard. When I sync with Nokia 5300, it crashed. I guess it resulted from the incompatibility of version. Could you make a binary plugin for 10.6.x? Thanks.

Hi guys, so sorry to be a pain, but I work in the middle of Africa and so have no other access to any reliable tech support…

On my yearly shopping trip home I made the move to switch over to Mac, as well as purchasing a new Nokia 5000… See above for problems, i.e. iSync… What a bunch of crap…! I’ve spent close to $5000 on Mac and Nokia stuff in the last month only to find out the machines wont communicate with each other because no one in the organizations will bother to write the script to make it happen… I couldn’t be any angrier…

Anywho, is there anybody who could explain in detail how to amend the plugin for a 5000 much like Norbert did above. Sorry to be a newbie pain, but I’m in the middle of Zambia and on my way to Somalia, I could really use a hand! Thanks so much in advance, appreciate anyone who can assist…

Thanks! I’ve tried multimedia transfer before, but didn’t look closely into settings that allow transcoding my music from apple loosless into mp4 so that my nokia can read it. *Feels happy now*

Hello, just did the same trick here with a Nokia 5000. Why wouldn’t Apple and Nokia want there customers to use iSync? Doesn’t make any sense to me… Anyway, thanks for the tip, Erka.

Hej you lucky 5300 users! I have the Nokia 3500 (classic) and I used the trick with the name changing on Tiger, but now on Leopard it wont work anymore, what do I have to different then on tiger or how is your installer working?

I tried the Metaclasses file further down in the BaseSync.phoneplugin folder you suggested and used instead of 5300 3500 (only a change of numbers, come on this should work!) and I also tried 3500c for classic. But Isync always tells me, that it doesn’t support this phone.

By the way I also tried the folder PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin. Aint working either.

Any hints?

(this new Multimedia tool from Nokia is kind of nice. I would have never gone out looking for something like this on my own on their homepage)

I broke the screen on my 5300, and thought i lost my contacts for ever. I never took did this before because iSync didn’t work like it was supposed to out of the box. With this new functionality, i almost wish i could replace the screen and use the phone for good!!!

Many thanks and kudos for this app!!! you are my hero today.
