After hacking didn’t work, I was glad to see today that Apple released iSync 2.1, with support for far more Nokia phones. So, I eagerly installed it, it saw my phone, threw the Symbian app to the phone, installed it, had a dinky little 6630 in iSync, synched, and…. it died halfway through.

Argh!

So far, the rollcall is:
Nokia 6600 – works
Nokia 6630 – doesn’t work for everyone, works, works (v2.39.129)
Nokia 6682 – works

If you have any other newly supported phone, leave a comment and I’ll add it. Likewise if you have a 6630 and it works.

Update: doesn’t seem to be a firmware issue, people with older and newer firmware can sync fine.

I have isolated it to the calendar – just synching contacts seems to work. Time for more hunting…

Update 2: It works! I deleted my iCal calendars, to no avail. So then I deleted all my calendar entries from the phone, restored them from a PC using PC Suite, rebooted the phone, and it now works. Added a new iCal calendar, and it still works.

I don’t know what was wrong in the calendar – I will have to check it continues to work as new events are added.

Finally, after two and a half years of Mac ownership, phone synchronisation…
