Sync the Motorola A630 via iSync

I finally got my Motorola A630 to work with iSync. Here's what I had to do...

  1. Quit iSync if running.
  2. In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G to get the Go to Folder window, and then enter this path: /Applications -> iSync.app -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> PlugIns -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources. Alternatively, you can Control-click on the iSync application, choose Show Package Contents, and then open each of the above folders.
  3. In that folder, duplicate MetaClasses.plist so that you have a backup (you'll probably want to undo this process before you apply any upgrades to iSync...).
  4. Open MetaClasses.plist with TextWrangler (free from BareBones).
  5. In that file, after the opening <dict> line, insert this code.
  6. Duplicate any one of the Motorola TIFF files in that same folder and rename it MOTA630.tiff (or just use this file).
  7. Launch iSync and enjoy!
This hint worked both before and after the iSync 2.1 update (though I undid it before applying the update, then re-applied it).
