Making iSync Work on 10.4.7
I love the Mac OS X Hints hint about getting iSync to work with the Motorola V710 phone without the USB cable. When I first got my phone, I needed the USB cable because I didn't want to manually populate my phone with all my contacts because the keyboard is a mess, etc. So I was very glad to see the hint.
With 10.4.7, Apple has once again undone this wonderful hint and I had to re-apply it. Worried that one day the link might vanish, I decided to add it here, so that I'd always be assured a copy exists that I can find. So here it is.
In a terminal window type:
cd /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/
Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources
it's all one line, but it's a biggie, so be careful. Then edit the file: MetaClasses.plist and look for the tag:
<key>com.motorola.V710</key>
and then the text needs to be:
<key>InheritsFrom</key><array><string>com.motorola.usb-bt.0x22B8/0x2A62</string></array>
Simply make sure that's the value and save the file. It'll work with iSync now.
