10.4: Add Motorola V710 Bluetooth support to iSync
Authored by: Hardhatlaw on Jul 14, '05 02:11:18PM

The 7/11/05 update to iSync disables this hint. In order to work around iSync in version 2.1 or higher you need to replace the MetaClasses.plist as set forth in the hint, but with the following change:

<key>InheritsFrom</key>
<array>
<string>com.motorola.usb-bt.0x22B8/0x2A62</string>
</array>

The usb-bt.0x22B8/0x4902 string will no longer work.

I did this, and my current metaclasses.plist file looks like that does.

It was syncing fine but recently it has been crashing. Should i try using the old code?

Thanks

Sorry about not checking back in on this. If you have not already resolved the issue you can switch back as described by Doc Wombat in his post. I now have computers and phones running with both scripts.

I have noted a problem on two laptop/phone pairs where for some completely unknown reason it would start reporting a message that the phone did not support that service. In both instances this was fixed by deleting the bluetooth pair, restarting and then re-pairing.

I "upgraded" to iSync 2.1, and lost Address Book functionality. I tried re-editing the .plist file with the new line you suggest (<string>com.motorola.usb-bt.0x22B8/0x2A62</string>), but the Address Book remains grayed out. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Ok. I accidentally updated to iSync v2.1.1 Now the code suggested here:
com.motorola.usb-bt.0x22B8/0x2A62
does not work either. I am unable to sync again. I tried reverting to a stuffed copy of v2.0 and it will not open. Three questions:

1. Does anyone know of a new hack for iSync v2.1.1 that will allow a v710 to work with iSync?
2. If not, why will my unstuffed iSync v2.0 not open? Can i fix it?
3. If not, where can i find an iSync v2.0 installer without wiping my system?

Let me be clear about this for Googlers confused (like myself) by the thread:

">> v2.1 requires ...com.motorola.usb-bt.0x22B8/0x2A62</string>
>> The ...usb-bt.0x22B8/0x4902 string will no longer work."

.. was NOT true for me. Using the original hack "usb-bt.0x22B8/0x4902" DID work with iSync v2.1.1 for me. But as said more than once, you may have reset the Bluetooth link and add as a new device again.
