Hi,

This is strange - I’ve tried this on my Powerbook and it worked fine, but not on a (dual processor) mac mini. Even having the latest version of Tiger installed on the mini (which you say should natively sync with the N70) doesn’t work. Does anyone know what Mac Mini’s have against the N70?!

Nothing. I tried to do as you guys suggested but…even if the association between the devices is regular, when i try to sync the isync says that it cannot connect to the device… any idea? thanks!

Anybody aware a solution to create a Dial-Up connection directly from the N70, without using a PC? I need this to access some POP3 email accounts, using the pop3-client on the phone.
The only option visible on my phone is Packet Switched Data, no Dial-Up connection…
Thanks in advance.
Help me please.

I can’t get iSync to even find my N70, do I need to use Bluetooth? I connected it via USB and it shows up in System Profiler but no joy with iSync

Thanks for posting this, it worked flawlessly! I didn’t even need to use the command line, just went straight in through the iSync package. It’s really annoying to know that this hack is really all that’s stopping compatibility between the Mac and the N70.

Thanks again!

Petwie, sorry about that. Try this..

1) Run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
2) Type open -e /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist
3) Type exit to close Terminal window
4) Follow steps above about editing the MetaClasses.plist file

Cheers Jim
