New version of the Nokia 6300 iSync plugin

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

Some users were having problems with synced calenda items. Namely doubling them in both iCal and on the phone. This should be solved in the new version.

Installation of the Nokia 6300 iSync-plugin

  1. Download the Nokia 6300 iSync plugin v. 1.1
  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.
  1. Start iSync and sync away

    [...] I found a freely available plugin to make the Nokia 6300 work using iSync, and it is actually fairly easy to make a such plugin, [...]

    I found a mismatch in link to the .tiff image contained in the plugin. The image file is named “NOK6300.tiff”, however in the plist XML it is defined as “com.nokia.6300.tiff”. This results in the default image being showed in iSync.

  3. Nis on June 12th at 9:26 pm

    Sometimes I do things much too quickly. I did wonder why the icon was a bit different in the new version, but didn’t think it through.

    Nevertheless, its changed now, and the new, new, plugin is uploaded and available at the same link above.

    Hi Nis! Just bought my phone today. I’ve followed all your instructions: (1) make a “Phoneplugin”
    folder in the `Library and then transfer the unzipped file there. But, when I run my iSync it says “Can’t run iSync because of a problem with a plug-in” Then it asks me to delete the plug-in. I’ve tried all your versions and still the same thing. Please help! Thanks for your time :)

  5. Nis on June 15th at 8:15 pm

    Hi Pao Pao,

    Just a few basic questions to make sure its not that. The file you installed is called “Nokia6300.phoneplugin”, right?

    The folder it should be installed in should be called “PhonePlugins”.

    Which version of iSync are you running? Mine is 2.4

    If thats all ok, try opening up the Console application and see if it writes anything that has to do with iSync when you try to start it with the plugin installed.

    Hello Nis,
    I would like to thank you very much for this plug-in.
    You’ve really helped me out!!!
    Have a nice day!
    Nicholas

  7. Nis on June 24th at 2:26 pm

    Thank you Nicholas. Im glad you could use it.

  8. Joe on June 25th at 11:50 am

    Thanks so much for this. Gorgeous phone now works perfectly on my new MacBook Pro. Very happy. Thank you!!

  9. elke on June 27th at 12:25 pm

    Is you isynch for nokia 6300 functioning for Max os x 10.3.9 ??

  10. Nis on June 27th at 1:36 pm

    Hi Elke.

    I don’t think so. Another user running 10.3.9 made a comment ( Here: http://nokia6300.net/6/nokia-6300-isync-plugin#comment-26 ) and said it didn’t work with his version of iSync. But he might have tried the older version of the plugin. You can always try to download the plugin linked at the top of the page. If it doesn’t work, you can always delete the plugin again. No harm done.

  11. Cardas on June 30th at 10:47 pm

    Thank you
    it works well on my MBP OSX 10.4.10

    nice

  12. Louis Harris-Tench on July 5th at 10:03 pm

    EXCELLENT – u have saved my life – it would of taken me a day and an age to handtype 451 phonebook entries

  13. alif on July 9th at 5:37 pm

    Hi Nis,
    I just download your plugin v1.1 and follow your instructions to move the nokia6300.phoneplugin to the newly created PhonePlugins folder in the Library. The device found but with message “This device is not supported by iSync”. I don’t know what is wrong. I’m using macos 10.4.10 and iSync 2.4.
    Thank you for your help.

  14. Jeremy Rose on July 12th at 8:46 pm

    thank you the plugin.

    it’s always a bit of a chore when you get a new phone to make it compatible with the way you’ve worked – delighted you saved me time and money by having it right on the web.

  15. Gerry Beauregard on July 19th at 4:08 pm

    Thanks so much for this plugin! Worked very nicely with my wife’s new 6300 and my MacBook Pro, which currently has OS X 10.4.10, and iSync Version 2.4 (501.2).

    BTW, to anyone having trouble getting this to work, remember that after you’ve set up the plugin, you must choose “Set up Bluetooth Device…” from the Bluetooth menu first before going to Devices / Add Device… in iSync. If you skip that “Set up Bluetooth Device…” step, iSync will never find your phone.

  16. LH on July 21st at 10:50 am

    Hi all,

    I just don’t understand the 4th step of installation :

    1. Move the extracted file (Nokia6300.phoneplugin) to ~/Library/PhonePlugins If that folder isn’t there, just create it.

    When I download and extract your zip file, the result is a FOLDER (not a file) named ‘nokia6300v11phoneplugin Folder’ wich contains 2 others folders named ’__MACOSX’ & ‘Nokia6300.phoneplugin’. But I never see a FILE to drop in the newly created ‘PhonesPlugins’ folder…

    Do you have any explication for me ???

    How to install this way ?

    Thank you all

  17. Nis on July 21st at 3:56 pm

    In OS X most items are actually folders. I think the one you need to copy into “PhonePlugins” are the folder called “Nokia6300.phoneplugin”.

  18. Olli Koivula on July 25th at 12:28 pm

    Hi,

    Where can i find the part of iSync that goes to the phone?

  19. Bharat on July 26th at 2:04 pm

    Hi,
    The plug-in worked like a charm :)
    Thanks a lot :    )
    A small request, will be great if you can incorporate ‘Contact Photo’ sync.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Bharat

  20. Mikkel on July 28th at 8:59 pm

    Hi,

    I had version 1 of your phone plugin, and it worked for some time.

    Then I updated my mac os and isync didn’t support my 6300 anymore. I installed Ver. 1.1 and it worked.

    Thanks.

  21. Ryan on August 7th at 8:15 pm

    Thanks for the help.. the nokia multimedia transfer is not compatible with nokia 6300. does anyone know how to transfer songs from my itunes to my nokia 6300??

  22. Claudio on August 11th at 5:38 am

    Hi

    I was wondering if anyody found the way to sync the contact photos of my address book with the 6300.

    More important, company’s names are not sync as well.

    Thanks

  23. sting on August 12th at 7:53 am

    Thanks for the plug-in. I have used it and it works ok with only address sync. Somehow the calendar sync is not working out.

    Also when you have a pic assigned to a contact, too many of these will crash the phone and leave the address book on the phone not able to accept further changes. I would need to delete the entire contact list on the phone and resync. Any solution for this?

    To move files to the phone. This is after you have already set up the phone to sync via bluetooth. Close iSync, and start Bluetooth File Exchange (it comes with OS X), you can browse the device and move files to which ever folder on the phone you want.

    Thanks once again.

  24. TIM SPICER on August 13th at 7:39 am

    This worked a treat – first go. You saved a heap of hassel.

    Thank you

  25. nathalie on August 13th at 10:39 am

    Hi,
    I am from the netherlands and bought my 6300 friday. Installed the plugin and it works fine….but when syncing the ical is set 2 hours off in the 6300. An appointment in iCal at 10.00 is set at 8.00 in my 6300. It should have something to do with the timezones: the imac is on CEST and the 6300 on GMT +1. They are exactly on the same time…..can somebody give a hint??

  26. Henrik on August 13th at 3:53 pm

    Hi just updated the phoneplugin but still can’t get the phone to synchronize the mobile contacts with the adress book.

    Well it does synchronize but the phone contacts is beeing synchronized into the group “ALL” but I made a separate group just for the phone but it will not synchronize into this group?

    Any idea?

    I am running OS X 10.4.10, isync 2.4 and adress book 4.0.5.

  27. Rums on August 17th at 4:53 am

    Great plugin!

    However, I’ll ‘third’ the request for the contact photo syncing please! Any way that it can be ‘scraped’ from a Series 60 plugin and shoe-horned into this one?

  28. Rums on August 20th at 2:07 am

    Sorry to hijack your thread here Nis, but for those of you looking to get your contact photos and birthdays syncing as well, please read my post here:

    Hi,
    Thank you, thank you so much. I was sad when after brginging back my new phone at moe, to notice that there’s no plugin for iSync.
    You saved my life, thank you one more time

  31. Flavia on September 2nd at 3:43 pm

    Thank you for the info and plugin. It couldn’t have been more straightforward and easier to connect.

  32. Gatzby on September 6th at 4:41 pm

    Great plugin, worked fine the first time. I have an issue with Dutch names, however. My name has a prefix to the surname: “van”. Many Dutch, German and Scandinavian names do, f.e. “Jan van den Berg”, “Jasper de Bruin” or “Claus von Amsberg”. I put these prefixes in the “Middle” name field in Address Book, but they are not synced to my 6300. Could the plugin be modified to prefix the “middle” name with a space to the last name?

  33. Konstantinos on September 14th at 6:46 pm

    Is this supposed to work over USB?

    Or is it Bluetooth-only? Cause I get a “Bluetooth is turned off on your computer” message, even though my Nokia 6300 is connected via USB (and its memory card icon appears on the desktop).

  34. Nis on September 15th at 10:34 am

    It works over USB as well. Just set the phone to “nokia” when you plug in the USB.

  35. Konstantinos on September 18th at 1:44 pm

    A-ha, will try it next time. Thanks.

  36. Jane on September 18th at 9:40 pm

    Did not seem to work at all- downloaded the plugin, as instructed, extracted it and moved it into a folder in library- but when I try to isync it- it just says that isych does not support the Nokia 6300- where have I gone wrong?

  37. Stash on September 22nd at 4:13 am

    Hey I just bought the NOKIA 6300 without checking what were its issues with MAC systems if it wasn`t for your Isync script I would have kill my self for being way dumb
    Its working perfectly thanks a lot

  38. olli on September 28th at 8:19 pm

    HI Nis,

    Just thanks for this one and only perfectly working plugin with the isynch on Leopard’s[beta] iSynch v.3.0 Other solutions worked fine, but sunching got the time of calendar items out of synch, 2 hours of difference. It’s nice to have found it in a ready-made package. !!

  39. Paula on October 1st at 11:05 pm

    Hi,
    I’ve tried this a couple of times & got this response when trying to sync my mac (OSX)with my 6300 nokia;
    Monday, 1 October 2007 22:00
    [Poola] Connection to the phone failed.
    Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
    Device “Poola” synchronization failed

    Now the phone is on & blue tooth is on & I can happily transfer photos via bluetooth (have done for months.)
    I have created the requested folder within my applications folder – is that right?
    (I tried fonelink earlier & couldn’t get that to work! help!)
    Thanks,
    Paula.

  40. philipp on October 4th at 2:09 am

    unfortunately mine doesn’t work…. at 14% isync hangs and after some sec. I get an error. during that time my mobile (6300) looks like it is restarting or something… screen goes totaly white and after I get the error message on isync, normal screen is back on my mobile… is it maybe because my firmware is 5.00 on my 6300? thanks for any help

  41. iSmile on October 20th at 11:42 am

    2 philipp:
    I had such problem too. I think it because of sync’ing with Windows Adress Book (on other computer) before. After that sync’ing with WAB I can’t edit/add contacts info on my phone, i have an error message “Can’t modify…”. I deleted all contacts from phone and get them all from my MACs Adressbook. The problem has gone and I don’t want to sync with WAB any more :)
    May be it because of vCard versions: 3.0 of OSX Adress Book and 2.1 of Windows Adress Book.

    • May be because of encoding.
  42. Louis on October 20th at 6:39 pm

    Thanks a lot – this is the only plug-in I found that works

    (it is syncing my new phone as type this)

    I am using 10.4.10 and isync 2.4 – just so anybody out there has the same set-up

    just looked – my contacts are all there

    Really easy to upgrade – thanks a million

  44. Kikuti on October 21st at 1:27 pm

    Hi there!

    Thanks a lot for the “new old version” of the plugin, I had already quit using the agenda from my 6300 ‘caus the latest version of the plugin booked everything 2 hours earlier in the phone.

    Now it’s working as it should, and I don’t need to go to my office every 15 min anymore (it’s very time-consuming when you work in a lab).

    I haven’t noticed any drawbacks so far, but I only use it for the agenda anyway.

    Thanks again.

    All the best.

    Hi N,
    I got your instructions from for Mac X tiger and it was great, how ever I cant get it to work with the leopard because i get the same message as some of the other peope here bellow: device not suported.

    i think i followed your instructions I went into my user lib and created the Phones/PhonePlugins folder and droped the in nokia6300v11phoneplugin Folder but i still get the same message… :) dont know what im doing wrong…

  49. Karina on November 11th at 4:43 am

    Hi N,
    ok, after trying and trying it def, didnt work to drop the folder. So I went into the old instructions and replaced the name on the metafile. So far so good, that one worked. Now is wait and see if the ical and address book will do the rest.
    Thank you

    Somehow, it doesn’t work for me. The phone and USB parts work (I can set it to mass storage mode and that works), I can set it to Nokia mode (and it’ll show up in the USB Prober), but iSync refuses to see it. There is some info in Console:

    [0×0-0×79079].com.apple.isync968 16:37:12.741 [iSync:968] ERROR (.usb): Error in identification operation of :
    [0×0-0×79079].com.apple.isync968 : Error Domain=AYErrorDomain Code=2 UserInfo=0×268730 “Async Operation timed out”

    Any ideas as to what went wrong?

  53. Max on November 16th at 5:39 pm

    Oh, should’ve mentioned that in my previous comment, but I’m running Leopard, with iSync being 3.0 I believe. The 6300 has FW v5

  57. Kjetil on December 10th at 11:26 am

    Hi.

    Thanks a lot. Works just fine!

    A little tip: For us beginners, it´s easy to forget the small things which is so obvious for you pros. So maybe you should add another point (between nr.4 and 5) to your setup-list about going through the “set up Bluetooth Device…”, Nis.

    iSync didn´t find my 6300, because I wasn´t aware of that you have go through the “Set up Bluetooth Device…”. But I found help in Gerry Beauregard´s post on July 19th at 4:08 pm which tipped me of this (thanks, Gerry). The last part of his post is:

    “BTW, to anyone having trouble getting this to work, remember that after you’ve set up the plugin, you must choose “Set up Bluetooth Device…” from the Bluetooth menu first before going to Devices / Add Device… in iSync. If you skip that “Set up Bluetooth Device…” step, iSync will never find your phone.”

  59. Max on December 11th at 2:28 am

    FINALLY got it working! I decided to give up on USB and get me a bluetooth dongle instead. Note that Belkin dongles, even though the box claims Mac compatibility, don’t work. I got some unknown brand (Icidu, the blue one) that uses the same chipset that’s used in modern Macs, and it works like a charm.

  60. Steg Sole on December 28th at 12:27 am

    Hi Nis,

    I am getting the same problem as many others above which i am not sure you have resolved. Plug in installed properly, its paired and visible on the bluetooth front yet isync says it cannot connect to this device. If i run Console while trying to do this it gives me the following message:

    2007-12-27 22:27:57.068 iSync2158 Please use iTunes to synchronize any iPod.

    Please advise.

    The Nokia 6300 plug-in worked very well for me (OSX 10.5.4). No problem, very easy. Thanks.

  84. Vaughan on August 24th at 6:39 am

    Followed instructions (created Plugin folder as directed) and copied folder from download folder into it. Ran iSync (MacBook Pro with OX 10.5.4) and it picked up the 6300 right away. Sync took a few syncs if that. Thanks so much.

  85. Hullabamoo on August 29th at 11:51 pm

    It really would be worth being a little clearer that syncing works with BLUETOOTH and not with USB, which I’m sure is where many people are going wrong.

    Holy mackerel… it worked! One thing… you might consider mentioning that the plugin goes in the User’s Library and not the System’s Library.

    The benevolence of strangers is a beautiful thing.

    Thanks so much!

  92. Matt on October 20th at 4:02 pm

    i’ve completed all the instructions, but when i turn on isync and go to add device, it says “isync cannot connect to this device.”

  93. Jeff Tan on October 24th at 3:00 pm

    Thanks for the plugin. Works great.

  94. Jörg Butzer on November 2nd at 7:44 pm

    Thanks for the plugin! Worked fine in the system library for me.

  95. Hannes on November 6th at 9:34 am

    Pretty nice site, wants to see much more on it! :)

  96. Dylan on November 29th at 11:20 am

    Hi there-

    Sorry, but I’ve read the thread, and can’t find anything specific that addresses the “Device not supported by Isync” message that might apply to my situation. Created the folder PhonePlugins in my user library. Am running 10.5.2 with isync version 3.0. Activated Bluetooth, it finds the device then says it’s not supported. Am trying to bring my favourite phone into the new age-any advice? Thanks!

    I have just deleted ALL of my notes (reminders, birthdays, etc) out of my calendar on my Nokia 6300. Is there any way to get them back or should I kill myself on the spot? :-S

  98. jesús on December 2nd at 7:27 am

    I can’t download the software… what can I do?

  99. Pontus Löfgren on December 6th at 12:27 am

    Worked like a charm right away! Extremely simple to get everything into my new 6300. Synced everything from my old Phone via my mac and into the new one! Extremely simple.

    Running 10.5.5, Nokia 6210 and 6300.

  100. Sanne on December 10th at 2:10 pm

    I’ve got the same message as Dylan, “Device is not suppported”

    Isync Version 3.02, running on 10.5.5

    Thanks in advance

  101. The Boss on December 15th at 3:58 am

    So i installed it and when i go to add the device it reads a nokia 5300 and not my 6301. I installed the plug in for both models and I am still getting no where and it still reads as a 5300 and says it is unable to sync

  102. leighthal73 on December 18th at 1:56 pm

    Hi Guys,
    I have got the plug in to work but new contacts inputted directly to my phone are not being synched to my computer. (10.4.11 and 2.4) Any suggestions?

  103. James on January 3rd at 12:08 am

    App worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

  104. Fabio on January 28th at 9:28 pm

    Hello Nis,

    I believe I’m getting tangled up somewhere with the Nokia 6300 plugin but can’t see where… I have an iMac OSX 10.5.6 and iSync 3.0.2.
    I downloaded first Klaus plugin and couldn’t make it work then I downloaded yours and still can’t…. I have copied the 2 files and the folder on the Macintosh HD under “PhonePlugins” but still doesn’t work.
    I have copied below the console details as they might help identifying the issue.
    Appreciate your help very much.
    All the best,
    Fabio

    Fantastic! Big THX!!!

  106. Nils on January 29th at 12:53 am

    I´m on 10.5.3. I created the “PhonePlugins” folder in the main library. Works great.

  107. Karsten on February 1st at 7:30 pm

    Hi Nis,
    thanks a lot for your work on the plugin, it is really plug´n´play – great

  108. martin on February 19th at 6:02 am

    OX 10.4.11 with isync 2.4(501.2)

    After doing the system preference settings for blue tooth OK, isync found the device and delivered a message “this device is not supported by iSync”

    I tried the plugin in both the “phones” folder that was already in the library and a phoneplugin I created in the library.

    Any ideas?

  109. Saigiri on February 21st at 12:45 pm

    Hi Nis,

    Great Piece of work.. wonderful. thank you very much.. :-)
    It works amazing

  110. ton on February 25th at 11:26 am

    Installed the plugin.
    iSync sees the phone but when trying to sync I get the following message.

    “Device is not available or synchronization was cancelled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again. Device synchronization failed.”

    [...] found that Apple still hasn’t added the Nokia 6300 to the list of supported phones! However, there is now a free plugin, which I tried and it works perfectly on [...]

  112. momina on April 9th at 3:10 am

    I am not getting to install the new isync. should it downloaded in my Pc and then copy the contents to my mobile or is it some other way. I am not getting it. Pls help

  113. sabuj on April 11th at 10:39 pm

    Thanks for the plugin! Worked fine in the system library for me.

  114. Fabio on April 21st at 10:47 pm

    Thank you so much, it was very easy to install and sync with my beloved mac!!!
    Thanks again

  115. Mike E Maconachie on April 26th at 4:07 am

    Thanks,

    I have found this issue a real bad one for a while now. i have had the phone one year, and now it is working to its full potential. LOL

    A word of advice, open library from your HD and then make the folder “phonePlugins) it won’t be there in 10.4

    Happy sync-ing.

    Mike

  116. Mark on May 29th at 12:34 pm

    My phone only accepts the next month’s calendar events from iCal.

    Any ideas?

  117. gab3szHU on June 19th at 7:22 pm

    Thanks, this post was really useful for me!

  118. Kshyho on June 27th at 12:37 pm

    I’d like to buy the successor of the 6300 the Nokia 6303. Did anyone tried to sync with this modell? What should I change in the plugin if it should’t work? Thanks a lot.

  119. Fergus on June 27th at 7:53 pm

    Loaded the plugin, and received the same response as ton:
    “Device is not available or synchronization was cancelled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again. Device synchronization failed.”

    And then upon checking my phone, all of my contacts have been deleted.

  120. Ajay on July 25th at 10:58 am

    Hi
    I had a bit of trouble with this – it doubled up all the contacts that were on both the phone and in my computer’s address book – doubled them up just on the phone, not the computer – and moved nothing to the computer!

    I am using OSX 10.4.11

    Any suggestions would be great as I really need to back up my phone!
    Thanks

  121. Ajay on July 25th at 11:06 am

    Ok got it – it only works on contacts stored on your phone not on the sim!

  122. chris on August 13th at 4:57 pm

    Very important to make it work. Make sure that before you try to sync through iSync make a connection between your phone and the mac by clicking your bluetooth icon -> configure bluetooth device -> phone etc.. afterwards iSync will reconize the plugin as well.

  123. Jimmy on August 26th at 11:03 am

    GENIUS!!!! Thanks, this has saved me €10, and is undoubtedly the easiest to install. I highly recommend to anyone with a Mac and a 6300!

  124. suhair on August 27th at 2:46 pm

    hi thankyou

  125. gface on September 10th at 7:55 pm

    Worked straight off – many thanks!

  126. Boogieman on September 16th at 2:48 am

    hi Klaus I got a problem wich u might now how to get ahold of. I got 2 6300, one for private use and the other for work ( one silver and a new blacky ;-)
    my problem is that i can sync my old one perfectly but with the new device there’s no way that isync connects with it, it names it N73 and NKI when it finds it via bluetooth , while it’s named in another way so it doesn’t connect, any sugestions ???

    Cheers

  127. Harry Moore on October 3rd at 10:55 am

    I followed all the directions but isync still cannot connect to the Nokia 6300

  128. Boera michael on October 15th at 4:18 pm

    nils you are a legend thank you very much

  131. Hannes on December 1st at 12:36 am

    That plugin worked. THANK YOU big time!

  132. Miguel on January 12th at 9:18 pm

    Hi,
    I think I found the solution for all of us that had some problems with Nokia 6300 syncronization. I have downloaded the plugin, but I have instaled in another folder I am explaining at this moment:

    Quit iSync if its running. Right-click on the iSync application in your /Applications folder, and select “Show Package Contents”. Navigate through the folders to Contents -> PlugIns -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> PlugIns ->. In this folder extract the plugin (in this folder are the plugins for all nokia mobilephones)

    I hope this solution is helping all of you

    regards
    Miguel

  133. issam on January 16th at 11:22 am

    merciiiiiiiii

  134. Christoph Hillmann on January 17th at 12:43 am

    I tried to hack isync the way, it worket so many times. This time not, Nokia 6300 asked for Isync Software. I used your link – everything fine. Thanks so much – Christoph, Cologne, Germany

  135. djcs on January 30th at 4:48 pm

    Thanks Nis for this plugin!!! you just saved me days of annoying work…

    just one thing that might be useful to remember: if you are going to sync using bluetooth, you should first add your phone with the “Set up Bluetooth Device” assistant else iSync won’t see it. In fact, at the end of that procedure you will get the option to launch iSync right away…

    bravo for your work

  136. Tim on February 1st at 2:09 am

    Hi – I tried putting this plugin in the place suggested above but it doesn’t seem to work, presumably something due to this version of the OS (10.5.8).

    Anyway, what does work is to put the contents of the zip into: Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/

    In case it helps anyone!

  137. Colin on February 16th at 1:57 pm

    Hi
    I have just updated from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and my Nokia 6300 does not sync correctly. I have downloaded your file and it is duplicating some of the calendar dates onto my phone.
    Any suggestions please?

  138. Alfonso on March 2nd at 2:20 pm

    It also works for my 6120classic.
