Tiger only hintThe K750i works great with iSync 2.1, but it's still impossible to send (and receive) SMS or dial a number from the Address Book.

But there is a really easy way to solve this: a similar method as the one described in this hint can be used.

  1. Quit and backup your Address Book app, etc.
  2. Control click on the Address Book app, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources.
  3. Control click on Telephony.bundle, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources
  4. Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist with Property List Editor (or a text editor to change the XML in a more primitive way)
  5. Find this array in the ABDeviceCommandSets.plist: Root -> 2 -> ABDeviceModelStrings ... you should see one string entry here: K700. Add another string entry with the value K750.
  6. Save and quit
Now relaunch Address book. SMS and dialing should now work with your K750i. This works on my Tiger 10.4.2...
