Does Notes not work in our plugin? I can't remember

They work**

I use Notes extensively, so that was an important concern for me

You have to edit a contact in order to read the complete note if it's more than a few lines, but all the data is retained.


**They work for a one-way transfer from Mac to N900 -- I'm not sure what happens with two-way syncing of notes.. I've totally abandoned hopes of having that work properly and simply 'reset' my N900 with the most current data from my Macs when I use iSync now..

Hopefully the hallowed 1.2 will change that

Hi everyone. I was really happy to finally being able to use my n900 with my mac but... it doesn't work.
I have snow leopard, I installed dun, the devices connect with bluetooth, I star from my mac and I've restarted all devices. Yet, I get this:

04:02:18 Connecting to Hb euppy

04:02:18 Device “Hb euppy” connected

04:02:18 Receiving changes from “Hb euppy”.

04:03:20 “Hb euppy” Receiving changes complete

04:03:20 “Hb euppy” Processing changes…

04:03:20 “Hb euppy” Engine processing complete

04:03:20 Applying changes to “Hb euppy”

04:03:20 Error [Hb euppy] There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been canceled on the phone.

04:03:20 Error Device “Hb euppy” synchronization failed.

Hb euppy is my N900. I did not touch it during sync. Any help. please?

Oh blimey....mine worked reasonably well until...I've updated to PR1.2 this evening....now isync crashes when I try to synchronise and spits out a crash report including this information:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000

Since the initial set up was working only after multiple attempts I would like to avoid trying to set it up again. Has anyone noticed anything strange since PR1.2?

Why can't Olli and Steve just be friends???

some weeks ago Nokia published an official iSync plugin for the N900 on their usual iSync plugin page. Fine print said it would require PR1.2.

So maybe you should upgrade your Mac to the new plugin for iSync and try again. (I will get my PR1.2 tomorrow, so can't test it now.)

OMG I can't believe it!!! It works! A historical moment!

Be prepared though, the plugin shows here:

http://europe.nokia.com/support/prod...y-and-download

but not here:

http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/download-software/isync

which I find rather odd - it's also the reason why my rss feed hasn't picked it up. The latest news showing on the feed is still isync support for N97!

Does it actually work for you (or just installing it)? I installed the plugin and added the device in isync, but when trying to sync i get:

"Wednesday, May 26, 2010 1:50 PM
[tPhone] An unexpected error occurred.
Device “tPhone” synchronization failed."

This is my first try using isync though, but it doesn't seem to have any options that should make any difference?? Help to get it working would be highly appriciated

Yea mine was behaving weird, too. First of all I struggled to remove the device from isync manager. This worked however once I've reset the the sync history in preferences.
After that I've installed the new plugin. Then, it needed a few attempts to add my n900 to the sync manager. Really strange, I tried 3 or 4 times to do this before it suddenly popped up as a new device on the isync manager. Haven't done anything different than before...it was as if there was just a lag or something, no idea. Anyway, the first syncs were spitting out various error messages. This forced me to clear my ical calender and start from scratch there. This was no problem since I had all data on my n900, which i synced from.
Altogether is works now. Not 100% perfect (still struggling with events with alarm, a little bit with all day events and the calendar structure of the n900: It can only sync to 1 calendar in ical.

I can't get it to sync anything(!).. Is this supposed to work with bluetooth or do I have to connect with usb?

I had it connect to USB and worked fine with iSync and N900 plugin from Nokia.
