I have noticed the slightly strange behaviour on this one as well.

I initially d/l'd the plug-ins, and moved them to the relavant folders. Paired up the K750 and then synced the phone. Everything went fine.

Today, I modified the address book on my Mac, so I decided to update my phones. I firstly reset my P910, it works perfectly.

I then try my K750. My forst problem was when I clicked on the K750 icon in iSync, I only get 3 red ? where the sync options should be. So I decide to try removing the K750 and then re syncing it. I remove it ok, including all pairings from the mac, and all traces in users etc.

I also re download the altered K750 plug-ins, and again place them in the relavent folders.

Now iSync sees the K750 and adds it to iSync, BUT, when I try and sync, it connects to the phone, and them gives an error message of 'iSync cancelled, could not connect to the port of the K750, the server is down, or the required services are not supported'

Very strange.

You guys have piqued my curiosity. I will see if I can get a completely unbranded retail phone from SE to see if there is a problem with iSync or the k750i.

Jools do you have Pacifist so that you can extract the iSync file from the install disk?

hi everyone.

i'm just thinkin to buy the k750i and I want to know
if there is the possibility that apple will release a patch/update for os 10.4 to officially fully support the k750i in the near future.
i mean, has apple done so with other mobiles before
which were not supported
(have there ever been updates to os x or isysnc to support new mobiles) or has this bever been happened
before?

greetings

icram.


(It is sad if I have to choose the motorola v3 or the k700i only becaus of my G4 syncing (or even worse
if I have to trade my mac for a pc...)(never! )

So far this is what I've tried:

The first post of this thread exactly as I posted it
Deleting all traces of anything K750 related from phone and Mac
Re-installing the iSync app from the original Tiger disk
Deleting all iSync, Bluetooth preferences
Deleting the SyncServices folder
Repairing permissions
Initiating pairing from Mac
Initiating pairing from phone
Initiating pairing from Mac and Phone
Tried only syncing contacts
Tried only syncing calendars
Master reset the phone
Complete re-install of Tiger on separate partition, and tried it all again straight after installation so there's no third-party programs or anything.

And this is what happens everytime:

The phone pairs ok from the computer. It asks to use it with iSync, synchronise contacts and calendars, access the internet and use as a remote control. I say 'Yes' to all except 'use internet'.

The phone acknowledges the connection and iSync opens up and the phone appears in the window. I then tell it to 'reset the device' on the first sync (not merge data) and click Sync Devices.

It connects to the phone ok and puts up the following messages below the progress bar:
Resetting "Jools K750i" contacts...
Receiving changes...
Resetting "Jools K750i" Calendars...
Receiving changes...

Then at that point it pauses for quite a while and eventually puts up a dialog box saying:

"The connection was lost while talking to the device. Device "Jools K750i syncronization failed."

The phone however, still thinks it is syncronizing and the progress bar and animation are still going on the phone's screen.

Then I hit Cancel on the phone and it says "Session Interrupted"

If I then press "Sync Devices" again in the iSync window I get the following error:

"Cannot connect to the device. Can't connect to channel on device (server might be down). Device 'Jools K750i syncronization failed'."

I then have to turn the phone off and on again before I can get back to the original error message.

Even if I disable Calendar syncing it stops at the "receiving changes" part of the process.

I've pretty much given up now!

I have tried to export and send the iCal file to my phone(v800) but it only saves it as a .ics on the MS. I can not see a way around this. Has anyone tried to export it as a vcal and then send it to the phone? You might need Entourage for this as iCal does not support vcal as far as I can tell.

Guys, I have been digging around in: user/library/phones/phonex.plist and found this:





com.apple.CGMR

com.apple.device-name
V800
com.apple.model-id
com.sony-ericsson.V800
com.apple.model-name
V800



Maybe you can verify that the MSC address: 00-0f-de-97-b3-69 is correct in yours. The reason I checked this is because Tiger syncs perfectly with these phones. Myabe you can copy mine, make the appropriate changes and then copy it back in to the location and try to sync. This should tell Tiger and iSync that this phone belongs.

Hope this helps

P.S. Just realized that the v800 is a UMTS/3G phone and has special characteristics. I have included the s700i file as well:

I've just been looking around for a converter for iCals .ics file to .vcs file. Apparently they're related, or the same. iCal exports in vCalendar format v2.0

They both start with:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION: (either 1.0 or 2.0 here)

I think the phone expects a V1.0 file, but I can't find a way to convert. I tried just editing the 2.0 text to read 1.0 and changed the extension from.ics to .vcs but the phone reset itself after asking me if I wanted to add the appointments.

Jools, if you have Entourage, can you export a vcal file and then try to send it to the phone.

Also, did you try my last post about the phone files?
