Like fukkhead I have kernel errors with p910i randomly demands reboot, screen goes dark etc when using it as modem with ibookg4. any ideas? it is an unbranded phone as far as I know.
any chance of using the dock connector with mac too? or getting isync to fully work? seems okay except for calendar.
cheers
oh yeah and any way of getting my branded k700i to accept mp3 as ringtones can only find solutions for windoze users.
any help gratefully recieved, thanx

Just realised the other night that since upgrading to Tiger, iSync now properly syncs all the address, web-site, email and notes fields from Address Book to my K700i's phonebook. It never did it before.
Still doesn't sync contact photos though, which I don't understand because it is possible because MacMedia's PhoneAgent does it.

Has anyone else noticed the bug in iSync 2.0 ?
If the iSync application isn't open the "Sync Now" menu option from the iSync menu bar icon doesn't work. The icon spins for a few seconds but it doesn't initiate a sync. If the iSync app IS open the the sync starts as expected.
It used to work fine in Mac OS X 10.3.x and hasn't been fixed in 10.4.1

Hey Jools,
I have noticed this as well. I hope that Apple fixes this soon.

I have since found out that it is designed this way!!
Read this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301340
Where it says:
"To sync with any phone that's been configured in iSync, the iSync application must be open to sync to it via Sync Now from the Sync Status menu. In other words, if you set up a mobile phone in iSync, you will not be able to sync information with it from the Sync Status menu if iSync is not open."
Two steps forward, one step back!

Very Windozey if you ask me. What a stupid thing to do. Someone at apple will wake up and get a case of the "oh crap, what have we done" and fix it back.

My experience with the Mac and iSync is horrible. I have tried to connect three different phones to the Mac (Tiger) and none is working.
The first two I tried to connect were the Nokia 6630 and Nokia 6680, which didn't work. That was expected though, since Nokia-support in Mac OS X is virtually non-existent.
However, it also failed yesterday when I got the new K750i. I was sure that the new Sony Ericsson phone would work smoothly, but iSync gives me a "Can't connect to this device"-message.
Am I doing something wrong or is iSync basically worthless for mobile phones? Does anyone have any knowledge about what Apple does on a regular basis for updating Mac OS X and iSync (can this be added in 10.4.2 or do we have to wait for Lion, Cougar, or whatever stupid feline name they put on 10.5)?
Thanks for any help.

iSync isn't worthless for mobile phones, I sync my SE phones with it perfectly.
As Tiger was released BEFORE the K750, you can't really expect Apple to have added support to it can you?
However, someone has found an unofficial way of adding support for the K750 by editing the MetaClasses file inside the iSync.app
http://www.kinkykoala.com/macstuff/k750i/
BTW, I've got a workaround for the "Sync Now" problem with Tiger mentioned above! I made a little application (with icons!) that you can put in the Dock, or in your favourite menubar application launcher (I use
Butler). When you run it, it automatically opens iSync, starts the sync process, then quits iSync when its finished. So it's basically back to how it used to be!
Download it from
here and put it in a convenient place, then add it to your favourite application launcher.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I don't seem to be able to make it work, though. I can't find the directory mentioned on the kinkykoala-site. Do I have to go through the terminal-window and use SuperUser-functions? If so, does anyone have a nice description/tutorial of how this is done?
As you guys can probably understand I'm not all that familiar with the Mac-system, since I have only been using a Mac for about a month, after 15 years on the Win-platform
Help would be greatly appreciated...

You have to CTRL-Click (or right-click) on the iSync application icon and choose "Show Package Contents" then you'll find where you need to put that file.
