Jools is right. The only way I could get mine to iSync was to pair from the phone. I also sent a guy a copy of my "library"file that he copied into his. He changed the Mac address and it worked. Sorry but I do not remember the name of the file. I will search for the mail though. Maybe Jools knows the file.

Leesie - I don't know if you solved your problem, but I suddenly also got this problem after having installed the 1.2.0 Bluetooth firmware update, as my k700 had very big problems with updating from to adress book.
With no troubles prior to this, I noticed that iSync remembered the pairing even if it was deleted from Bluetooth prefs and the phone. So I deleted the device, restarted, repaired and thought iSync would discover the phone again.
Had the same problem as you - iSync connecting to the phone - session finished on the k700 - no units found.
This is what I did:
* Moved the /Library/Application Support/Syncservice/501 to my desktop (just because I generally don't like to just delete stuff)
* Disabled the "Use encryption" in the Bluetooth prefs
* Turned off the Bluetooth conn in BT prefs
* Restarted
* Renamed my phone to its default name ('k700i' in my case)
* Reenabled the "Use encryptioin"
* Paired the phone with the mac
Now suddenly the initial screen with "Choose the services to use with this phone" came up, and from there, the phone appeared again in iSync. Just to check, I now deleted the pairing and renamed the phone to its custom name, and the pairing + iSync detection still worked fine.
I guess the big thing is moving/deleting the Library 501 folder, restarting and then renaming the phone + pairing from the phone first and then from the mac.
Have anyone had my troubles with the k700 not syncing adress book? (mine stopped after some time) - will let you know if it happends again

Hi...
I've been trying out PhoneAgent, mentioned earlier in this post, and seems like it should work with my S700, but I'm a little hesitant to drop the $30 just to find out (especially if it doesn't...).
Specifically, I'm hoping that it'll sort out all the things that Jools mentioned earlier about the iSync 1.5 release: i.e. Syncing addresses, notes, photos; resolving the '. .' company/name issue; resolving 15 character limit on company names.
Anyone had success with this program and an S700/710?
Thanks!

Strange that you had this problem as the k700 was addressed in the upgrade of the k700.

I could solve the following problem with the steps described further below:
Problem: isync dosent see my k700i (R2AE033) anymore
Situation:
- OSX 10.3.8
- isync 1.5
- synchroonisation with .mac account
When I bought the k700i everything worked fine with isync.
After 2 weeks isync started to produce error messages and didn sync anymoe with my k700i.
Then I removed the k700i from isync and tried to add it again.
The following happend: the phone produced the message "session completed", as if a sync session was completes successfuly. isync is saying "no device found".
I deleted the corresponding preference ect files:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.isync.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
~/Library/Application Support/SyncService
The I did the following steps:
1. removed any pairing info on the s700i and the mac
2. initiated pairing from S700i.
3. Once paired, started iSync.
4. Options to sync address book, calendar etc appear (should have 3 options)
The phone appeared in iSync and everything works fine again by now.
I just do not sync with .mac anymore (I anyway decided not use .mac beyound the free trial version).

How do I connect my Mac via Bluetooth to a SonyEricsson and then on to the internet. I can't get it to work. I managed to do it with my SE-T630 but no luck doing the same thing with the k600.
Any advice? Scripts? Links?
Thanks!

How do I change the phone type in the phonebook? On my Nokia, I could select a phone number and easily change it from mobile to work phone or vice versa. I need to do this because while synchronizing information from old Nokia something went wrong and phone numbers are not categorized correctly. Also, is it possible to change all the information on my mac's addressbook and push it to the phone? I am using isync 2.0. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

WOW what a 5yr thread BUMP!!
You are the ONLY person I've ever heard that STILL uses a K700i ... a friend at work used it up till last week of September for 5yrs as his main and only phone!
Well if your MacBook is an Intel based machine, most likely, then install BootCamp of your Tiger DVD. Then install WinXP Home/Pro (any service pack) and ReBOOT the MacBook holding down the Option key RIGHT from power button press just after the Mac Tone, keep holding it down until the Startup Manager loads and select the Windows installation. Then in Windows you can update your firmware.
I don't think SE has a Mac Firmware installation; but I cannot say and it IS done in flash so its possible it'll work in Tiger.
Bon Chance mate.
