Anyone tried this?

From macnn.com:
"Nova Media today introduced its free nova media phone plug-ins software, featuring iSync support for latest mobile phones."

Well it works sort of, I was tired and I replaced both locations of the Plist file and apparently only one needs to be replaced. Now my other phone will not sync and the 360 is findable but bot syncable. I will have to restore both plist files from a backup. I think my wife is going to switch to the razr anyway. I am sure a second pass would have worked if I had pain closer attention to the dir locations.

**** Indeed I restored from a back up and all phones including the 360 work great*******

Note that instructions on previous pages are correct but there are two folders that sound similar

PhoneModelsSync and Phonefamily. DO NOT TOUCH PHONE FAMILY.

You might want to copy/option drag to your desktop a copy of Isync so you have a back up.

help me
 

Hi,
I bought a V360, tried to do the hack, bur dit not succeed.
I am living in Belgium Europe, might this be a difference ? (excuse my englisch) Can anyone explain step by step what i have to do?
Can anyone put on a new link to the "metaClasses.plist" or mail it to me?

Thanks a lot. Gerry

Vasimr Link works and his 360 tiff is Cool (the original link is on page 2 of thier thread, Repeated below)

Repeated Instructions from Above....

"Just replace the MetaClasses.plist file in iSync program under By left-clicking then go to Show Package Contents (command-clicking for those who still use one-button Apple mice)
Contents / PlugIns / ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice / Contents / PlugIns / PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin / Contents / Resources / MetaClasses.plist"

** Note when you cut and paste the items into the folder the folder has to be open, you can not cut and paste onto a closed folder*

Let us know if you have further difficulty.

P.S. Your English is great and your phone should be the same as far as I know (your spelling like mine can be assisted via Control Clicking and spell check).

P.P.S For those who are not aware command-clicking = Control Click (at least on a powerbook).

Help me once again
 

Good evening from Europe.

Thanks for the help you posted, i tried eveything wrote, but still it does nog work.

When i launch isync, it detects my phone, it even shows its name but says that "isync is unable to connect to this divice - phone (or something like that, the message is in dutch)

Maybe one of the settings on the phone is not OK, but i went through the manual and could get no idea what iw was doing wrong.


Could somebody please help me once again ??

Thank you verry much

Are you sure you put the MetaClasses.plist in the correct folder...

"PhoneModelsSync" and NOT PHONE FAMILY."

I made that mistake, got the exact same symtoms and had to restore the whole Isync folder from a back up and reboot.

FYI: Phone of Course has to be in discoverible mode, and you may have to use the Blue tooth set up assistant directly instead of via Isync.

Lastly if I remember correctly when the Blue Tooth assisant asks for a type of device to set up put in on ANY , NOT phone.

Help me twice again
 

Hello,
I am verry disapointed. I tried everything, but no succes. Maybe the V360 is not the same in europe than in the US.

Bluetooth detects the phone, even makes a "coupling" and a "connection". But when i start isync, isync says it is not able to communicate.

I was wondering where or when you define what isync has to syncronise between your adressbook on the mac en with your phone. When do you tell to only take phone numebers and no e-mail adresses...

thanks

Gerry

Gary
what version of isync are you using. I don't know if this has been asked already but if not it seems that this crack will only work with the newest version 2.1.1

As for the reason that I found this post. I have been able to sync my v360 however I deleted one of my numbers and tried to re-sync it to my phone. To add the number back and it would not work. I even tried reentering the info in apple's address book. It is if either my phone or isync knows that that number has been on my phone before and will not sync it again. Dose anyone have any ideas?

Thanks allot
jacob

****Gary Once you select the device in Isync App, not the Isync menu you get to choose your prefernces as to which address book and what is synced. And Jacobs thought about OSX and Isync version is highly relevant.

***Jacob As to the matter of the phone number on ** Some Moto phones only entries in the address book will sync not what is on the phone (aka the address book is master). This was the case for my v330 but not the 360 which did the bi-directional thing fine.

****Jacob As far under your problem with specefic Phone numbers, Apple as a solution, Under the Devices menu you can reset device wiping out the Phones internal address book and replacing it with the one in the Apple address book.

good evening from europe..

i finally had some succes.. but not with bluetooth. i bought the correct usb cable, and then teh connection succeded. i managed to put a lot of data from my adressbook on the v360.
But now i encounter the folowing problem.
As in my adressbook some contacts are marked as "firm" or "company" (i don't know how it is on an english version) but this is not on the phone.

Furhter as in my adressbook, all contacts are "family name - first name", on the V360, everything is sorted by the first name.

Isn't it possible to make a setting somewhere that on the V360 it has to be by "company-family name-first name" and if no company "family name - first name" (or is fist name = christian name?)

Thanks

Gerry you never reported back on your computer system model, os, sync version etc.... In case you want Bluetooth to work too.

To answer your question you would best served making a new Address book in the AppleAddress book Application, Dragging/copying the addresses to that address book and editing them to be the way you want on the phone. Then sync again with the new address book. Of course you could edit the original but I assume that the first one is organized that way on purpose.

Note you may need to use Isync Reset Device to wipe all the entries if you get dupes.

Note it is always a good idea for everyone to back up/save as their address books.

There is also a preference feature where you add or remove fields but I am not sure what it would do with a field that has data in it. With this feature you could more closely line up the fields between books. And In Isync itself you can choose what fields sync.

Hello Anthlover,

sorry to forget to mention these things:

I use an iBOOK,
Computernaam: iBook
Computermodel: PowerBook4,3
Processortype: PowerPC 750 (1.2)

I tried to use an usb bleutooth stick. I will try your hint to make a special group, and sync with this group only.

Thanks Gerry

So it seems the consensus is that the hack works, yes? I just want to check before I acutally get the phone. I was perfectly happy with my Nokia 6600 until I lost it like an idiot. The only other Nokia T-Mobile offers now doesn't have bluetooth, and I'm stuck with them to get the re-sign discount...

Do multiple phone numbers for contacts in Address book show up the correct way in the phone? i.e. Not as multiple contacts?

Also, do pictures associated with contacts in Address book transfer over with this hack?

Thanks!

Anyone have a definitive yes or no on whether this works? And whether the above options work correctly?

Good evening from europe,

On my phone it finally works with an USB cable, not with Bluetooth. But as you can read I am not sattisfied by the way the transfer is organised. I had difficulties with organizing "company names; last names;... On my phone everything was sorted by "first name" etc.

I found on this forum another issue about syncronizing an other motorola. I followed the link http://www.onmadesoft.com/index.html and installed the program (freeware?) For me it works fine. It can communicate with the V360, you can install wich data you want to transfer, how you want it to look, you can adjust the how you want your numbers and e-mail adresses to look like (like international numbers etc) What it does not do is transfer adresses from adressbook into the phone, pictures i do not know, i do not use it. I transferred aubout 800 contacts. It took me maybe one hour, but this is still less than doing this 800 contacts one by one by hand.

Put your phone on primary contacts. For each person you have to difine which number is the primary contact. (this i could not find how to organise)

Never the less, I am more satisfied from this program than doing it with iSync.

Hope this helps....

Gerry

It works for me. I'm on TMobile in the USA. I've got a power book G4.

As to how they show up, you can either have every line item show up as an entry.
Example:
John Doe 515-555-1234
John Doe John.Doe@somewhere.tld
John Doe 515-555-4321

Or you can tell it you only want to see the 'primary' contact information for each person. This amounts to it choosing a primary entry for each person (which you can change). When you select someone you can cycle through all the entries for that person.
Example:
John Doe 515-555-1234

And if you selected that you could scroll down and see the email and other phone number.

[edit: Forgot about your other question, so answered below]
Pictures do NOT transfer on this version.

Happy user
 

I replaced the metaclasses.plist file on my Mac with the one I got from your page, fired up iSync and it all kicked into place. I might have worked it out using information from other places but I have no doubt your file saved me time and angst. Thanks a bundle.

Has anyone got the Address Book bluetooth pairing to work?

My Address Book shows the pairing window after clicking the bluetooth-symbol. After selecting the V360 on the list, clicking "Pair" and typing in the connection key, the pairing window says "Pairing succesfull" and exits. But the bluetooth-symbol doesn't light up and it doesn't work. No matter how many times I do the pairing.

Everything else works great after following the instructions given here.

A few things:

One often needs to shut off their blue tooth headset,
One often needs to reboot their phone
sometimes one has to delete the old pairing on the phone side
I initiate the pairing after making the phone discoverable and then Go to the blue tooth set up assistant: Set up a device and set it to any.
*Works under 10.46 too (Though I think Apple provides thier own driver now).
I just repaired my wife's v360 backing up first as recommended and then installing 10.46

isync tiff
 

I am looking for a v360 tiff file to use with isync. the link that is earlier in this thread is not working for me. dose anyone have an image they would be willing to share?

thanks
