E90 & Isync on the Mac

posted Monday, 17 December 2007

I've been using the brand new E90 recently and it is a really great device if you want access to what is essentially a lightweight laptop type device that is also a phone.  

One of the big issues I had with the device was getting it to sync with my Mac.  Now Nokia does provide an Isync add on specifically for the E90 (which is not present by default on Mac OS X). I could not initially get this to work and figured it was probably a problem with the add-on and so purchased an add-on from NovaMedia.  This did not work either !  The issue I was getting was that I was getting a message telling me synchronisation could not take place.  

By a process of elimination I figured out that the issue was with contacts rather than the Calendar as unchecking contacts allowed Calendar data to sync.  After various efforts to get contacts sync'd I finally managed it - here is how.

1.  Firstly install your plug-in of choice (the free Nokia plug-in above works fine) and pair the phone

2.  Isync will pick up the phone by default and install the new plug-in.  At this point your phone may sync fine - I know others have managed to get this working straight away.

 3.  If you have a problem - reset Isync data log through preferences and then reset the device - this was the only thing that worked for me when trying to get the phone to sync.
