10.4: Add Motorola V710 Bluetooth support to iSync
Authored by: jamesdean on Feb 21, '07 09:33:17PM
This one finally works!!!
  • I've been trying since I first bought this damn Motorola v710 cell phone and the only reason for the purchase was because of the bluetooth sync. I followed all the Hacks and hints on this site but none worked till this one. I think it is because I constantly update my computer. My iSync is version 2.3 and my OS is 10.4.8

  • The old hack wouldn't work utill this one. I checked it and was able to make corrections in both my phone and iCal and have them sync. I was also able to upload the contacts from my phone into the Address Book on my mac Powerbook G4.

  • Though it is strenuous and annoying to find the right folder but if you follow the directions and put in the correct code in the correct place, it will work (for iSync 2.3 OS 10.4.8). Which of course is the KEY to the hack. I tried deleting the entire file and just using the the hack but it only worked when I had the entire code (with the v710 bluetooth Hack) into the MetaClasses.plist file.

  • Thank you thank you.

  • PS. I can't paste the entire code because it is hella long but here is the part of the code you need to replace, hopefully in the correct format.

  • Please notice the "DisableBluetooth" and that below it the "false"
  • I wouldn't copy and paste this entire code as it is viewed on your HTML page in an imperfect format, but actually replace only the applicable lines of code.
  • Don't forget to make a backup of your MetaClasses.plist
