TICKET ARCHIVE -> NOKIA N95 and iSync

Demirep - Oct 19, 2007 - 8:44 am

My Nokia N95 iSyncs with my Mac [OS X 10.4.10) except for one thing which is a real nuisance.

When the address book comes over into my mobile phone, although the name for each contact is OK, any sub-names just disappear.

An example: A business run by Susie. She has an associate called Claire and two assistants, Laura and Rachel.

I set up the contacts with Susie's name, then I changed the labels for the alternative phones in the same entry, to "Claire", "Laura" and "Rachel". However, some time later when I iSync-ed my phone, Susie's entry looked like this:

Susie - [her phone number]
Mobile - [Claire's phone number]
Mobile - [Laura's phone number]
Mobile - [Rachel's phone number]

and of course, later on I don't know which phone number belongs to whom.

This doesn't have to be a matter of changed labels, though. Assume Susie has three personal phone numbers, which I list using the template labels as "Home", "Business" and "Mobile", they all end up -- after an iSync -- as "Mobile".

I spoke to Nokia about it and they said this is a Mac problem.

Here's a thread that might help you (gives a link to a beta app for multimedia transfer to your phone from Nokia):

Apple doesn't list your phone on its iSync support page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/index.html

And of course Apple sends you back to Nokia's site for more drivers not listed on their page:
http://europe.nokia.com/mac/isync/

I imagine Apple isn't supporting the driver for your phone and is placing the responsibility for this on Nokia; hence the message you're getting from Nokia.

Scroll down the list on the right side of the nokia link I gave you and the N95 has a driver for you to download so you can use your phone with iSync 2.4.
