Novice Adding iSync support for Sony-Ericsson K600i
Authored by: robjsewell on Oct 18, '05 06:50:58AM

This hint really helped me as I didnt know what I was looking for. In the end my setup seemed a little different, but the key point is that the Script? is looking for a Sony Ericsson 600 - the phone doesn't report itself as that, so we need to change the "search" string to something like that below. I've also included the directory structure as all of this was new to me today, never been inside a Mac "thingy" before - is it a script, don't know?! I wouldn't consider this dangerous unless you're clumsy with your fingers, and I would recommend copying the file before the textedit stage to, say, the desktop, then you can always put the original back.

1. Find your hard drive, select applications then hold down the ctrl key and click on iSync. Click Show Package and then navigate as follows:

2. Click Contents, then Plugins, then AppleConduit.syncdevice, Contents, then Plugins, then PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin then Contents then Resources. This should locate Metaclasses.plist which you can open by holding down ctrl and clicking n it then selecting "Open with, and choosing TextEdit from your applications folder.

3. Use Edit then Find to search for "sson 600" (without the quotes)

4. Delete this:

<string>Sony Ericsson+Sony Ericsson 600</string>

Add these:

<array>
<string>Sony Ericsson+Sony Ericsson K600</string>
<string>Sony Ericsson+Sony Ericsson K600i</string>
</array>

5. Hit File Save and go to iSync, do a Device Add and your K600i should be found straight away and then be syncable. If it wasn't, is it paired in Bluetooth?

Hope this helps,

A. Novice!

i love that macs sync so well with SE phones, but i did have this problem when i first got my k600. I got it to work without changing anything in iSync. I added my powerbook to the device list in my phone first, and then iSync was able to find my k600 without any problems. That's really the only functionality i use, i'm not sure if this will work for anything else
