Nokia 6300 iSync-plugin

Posted by Nis in tool, OS X, isync, Nokia 6300.Comment on this post

Update: I have made a new version of the plugin that should get rid of the problems Bjørn had. You can get the new iSync plugin here.

I made my first iSync plug-in.

As you might have guessed, its for the Nokia 6300. Making this plugin was actually pretty easy. That’s why I’m giving it away. It should work, but I guarantee nothing. It might kill your cat, it might make you coffee.

Installation of the Nokia 6300 iSync-plugin

  1. Download the Nokia 6300 iSync-plugin.
  2. Extract the nokia6300phoneplugin.zip (Your browser might do it for you)
  3. Quit iSync if its running
  4. Move the extracted file (Nokia6300.phoneplugin) to ~/Library/PhonePlugins If that folder isn’t there, just create it.
  5. Start iSync and sync away

That should be it. If not leave a comment here. In fact, leave a comment here if you find it useful too.

    Hi
    think there must be something I don’t understand about mac’s – I have copied the plugin to a new folder in Library, but i-sync can’t recognise my phone. There is no zip file just the plugin file which I put in a new folder called phone plugins as you said.
    Help!

  8. Nis on June 12th at 10:22 am

    Hi Charlotte,

    Which folder did you did you copy the plug-in to?

  9. Holger on June 15th at 1:30 pm

    Hi there,

    i have installed the plugin. After i start to syncronize my MacBook with my Nokia 6300 the phone suddenly reboots and the syncronization stops. Is this a problem of my phone? I work with isync 2.4.

  10. Nis on June 15th at 8:30 pm

    Hi Holger,

    That does sound like a problem with the phone.

  11. Holger on June 16th at 12:53 am

    Hi Nis,

    it was a problem with my existing contacts in the phone. I deleted all of them in the phone and imported them from my Exchange Server to my Macbook Adressbook. After a new sync everthing just works fine.

    Thanks.

  12. Nis on June 16th at 2:07 pm

    Great! Im glad its working for you now.

  13. Nasos on June 18th at 3:24 am

    hello !

    i think i have the same problem with Charlotte.
    I made a new folder in the library where it lists quite a few things and then tried to synch with no success …

    Any ideas ?

    Thank you . i have iSynch 1.5 …if that helps

  14. Nis on June 18th at 4:55 pm

    Hi Nasos,

    Did you name the new folder PhonePlugins? If you did it might be because of the older version of iSync. I have version 2.4 right now. Any chance you can try updating iSync?

  15. Nasos on June 19th at 2:03 am

    Hello Nis,

    I am running on 10.3.9 so i think from what i read that 2.4 is not compatible wit my version and from what i understood there is nothing between 1.5 and 2.4 .

    thank you for your help I will keep you updated.

    Regards Nasos

  16. Nis on June 19th at 10:13 am

    Ah. Well… I haven’t got access to a machine with 10.3.9 installed, so I really have no way to test the plugin in iSync 1.5.

  17. John from Sydney on June 27th at 2:49 pm

    Just downloaded and installed the plugin according to your instructions. Had to create a new folder in the Library. Worked perfectly, no problems synchronising contacts and calendar details. Thanks a lot!

  18. Ben on June 30th at 4:13 am

    I’m thinking of getting a 6300, but it’s gotta sync! Thanks for your plugin, sounds great.. I don’t suppose it support Address Book photos or bluetooth does it?
    Cheers!
    Ben

  19. Nis on June 30th at 8:24 am

    I haven’t checked the addressbook photo-part, but it should sync via Bluetooth.

  20. MAC7 on July 1st at 5:11 pm

    Don’t work on my PB (OSX 10.4.10, isync 2.4)

    Metaclass modified don’t work and plugin “incompatible”

    Have you a solution?

    Thanks
    Fred

  21. Nis on July 2nd at 8:35 am

    Did you download the plugin from this page or the new one?
    Also, it sounds like you edited the metaclass file. If you downloaded any of the plugins from here, no editing should be necessary.

  22. MAC7 on July 7th at 1:28 pm

    yes, i have download the plugin from your site.

    But not work…

    thanks

    Fred

  23. franticblue on July 7th at 5:24 pm

    where exactly do i create this new folder?

  24. Nis on July 7th at 9:02 pm

    MAC7: Did you download the newer version of the plugin?

    Franticblue: In the folder called Library in you home folder.

  30. adnan on September 24th at 11:13 pm

    hi dudes…i am afraid i m a little layman when it comes to mobile. i have just bought this phone. can anyone please tell me what is isync?

  31. Nis on September 26th at 6:15 am

    Hi Adnan,

    iSync is an application that comes free with Mac OS X. It is used to synchronize data between your Mac and your phone.

    Congratulations with a great phone :)

  34. adams on October 3rd at 7:08 pm

    Hi! Great think this plug in, but save my problem only half. Sync with iCall works great, but syncing with adress book I have some problem. All the contacts are exported to my mobile phone twice, so in the midle of syncronization the mobile is full. In adress book are all contact once…Any sugestion? Thanks for this page.

  35. joshu on October 28th at 11:02 pm

    Isn’t working for me…. Says it can’t open because there’s a problem with the plugin.

    :-(

    Cheers for the plug-in! It wouldn’t sync via USB cable for me (isync v3.0) but synced perfectly via bluetooth, so all is well.

  46. PeteMcD on January 9th at 1:28 am

    Awesome! Worked perfectly first time. Thank you for doing this, especially for free!

    Hi There dont know if this is what i need but it is a sync problem i think i have.I have a parrot 3200 ls color and my 6300 sometimes syncs the phonebook over and other times not.Wonder if anyone has any ideas ??

  50. ak on February 1st at 11:32 pm

    sync worked fine – thanks.
    Is it possible to prevent certain contact fields being synced? I would like to sync phone numbers only and not addresses. I do not like having my friends addresses and phone numbers together on my phone in case it gets stolen.

  51. Stephen on February 7th at 10:51 pm

    This is amazing. Thank you so much!

  52. Stefan on February 15th at 8:50 pm

    Hi, the Plugin works fine. However, iSync tells me, that synchronisation failed. Have others made the same experience?
    (OS 10.4.11, iSync 2.4)

  53. Stefan on February 15th at 9:29 pm

    Thanks a million – works perfectly

  60. Mike Bird on April 7th at 11:02 am

    I was delighted that the plugin was available. I haven’t used iSync before – always looking for a reasonable phone to use with it. I installed this last year, with iSync 2.2? Seemed OK. Problems with ERASING a lot of entries in Address Book!!!!! I can live with things disappearing from my phone but not from Address Book!!!!

    A bad one is double numbers on phone and Address Book! Terrible! What’s going on?!?!?!? Is it a problem with your plugin or iSync? Stopped using it. Since Leopard I have version 3 of iSync and hoping it might solve some of this but I’m scared of ever touching this again.

    Have you fixed this yet? I will PAY you for a working and reliable plugin!!

  61. Mike Bird on April 7th at 11:38 am

    I have one section of Address Book called Phone, and that is selected to sync only. But important records have disappeared from Address Book while using this plugin which are not in the Phone section. I don’t want ANYTHING to change on Address Book at all – just to transfer to the phone when I lose a phone, etc, then get everything set up onto a new phone again. Simple. How do I set ‘no changes to Address Book’?

    What’s happening?

  64. horst on May 5th at 3:10 pm

    thank you, everything is going fine. before that i only had to find out, that i have 2 library folders on my macbook. the first was on the macitosh-hd, the second under user. i simply created on both the phoneplugin-folder and then put your plugin under both folders;o)

  65. Richard on May 9th at 9:24 pm

    Everything synced across pretty well using bluetooth under Leopard. Photos haven’t synced but I think that might be the format that they’re in. All day events don’t work properly showing 12:00-12:00 GMT or 13:00-13:00 BST depending on where in the year they fall.

  66. Kiki on May 16th at 2:03 pm

    Thanks so much, it works nicely!

  67. dbk on June 1st at 2:05 am

    Seems to work fine on my PBook, 10.4.11, Nokia 6300 v. 04.71, Fido in Canada

    Thanks much!

  68. Angelo on June 9th at 1:18 am

    I have used your plugin before, but now am noticing something weird. iSync can sync with the 6300 but uses a ‘wrong’ addressbook. I have changed a lot in my addresses and AdressBook itself shows the correct list. But when I sync, the old version of the adresslist gets put on the phone.
    I have tried deleting the Isync support folder in my library, deleted the plugin.

    Any ideas, it’s driving me nuts!

    I’m running the latest version of 10.5

  69. Bachir on September 9th at 7:33 pm

    hi, i have installed and synced it worked great. where does it save the number too?

  70. Kim on September 10th at 12:59 pm

    Nokia were too lazy to make a simple iSync compatible XML file for one of their biggest selling phones?

    Note to self: Never, ever, ever buy anything from Nokia that claims to sync with a computer. They’re obviously lazy fools.

  71. Rich on September 25th at 6:39 am

    Would you create a Plugin for a Nokia 6301?

  72. Chris on October 4th at 7:58 pm

    Good work!
    This is the real thing that works with the latest iSync version under Leopard. :-D

  73. Rob on October 6th at 3:34 pm

    Hi,

    I installed on to my new Mac Book (still a novice) as described above.

    The phone is found via Bluetooth, but isync says the Nokia 6301 is not supported by isync.

    Any suggestions please. Is there an edit to make it suitable for the 6301?

    Cheers

  74. Gabriel on October 7th at 12:50 pm

    works like a charm! thanks!
