I have two computers, one Mac and one PC. Due to Nokia's poor Apple support and Apple's lack of iSync plugins I haven't been able to syncronize my Nokia E61 with my Mac.
I recently discovered Nova Media's iSync plugins and was about to spend the 10 Euros for their plugin when I came across Eko Juniarto's free iSync plugin. Eko has put together a plugin that is easy to install,works great and is free to boot - thank you Eko!
Update: If you are using Mac OS 10.4.7 this might not be working any more. Try this to sync your E61 with your Mac.
I’m glad it worked out for you. Thanks for following up and posting the link.
Nokia E61 now syncs with the latest OS for Mac. The phone comes with PC Suite. Does it only sync with Microsoft Office or will it also sync with Apple applications and or/NeoOffice? Can anyone tell me if I need to purchase Microsoft Office for my Mac?
Thanks for the help.
Alex,
I use Synctunes to get music from my iTunes library onto the E61. Very simple and easy to use.
Cheers.
I am using OS10.3.9 with iSync 1.5 and a E61. Is there anybody who can help me with connecting my two favorite tools? When I was reading this site I’ve seen 5 or 6 people who asked the same question but nobody answered it! Please help us.

Nokia E60, MackBook Pro.
Upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Novamedia plugins stopped working (kept getting ‘The connection was lost’ message before completion of sync).
Next, made mistake of installing the Nokia plugins without first un-installing the Novamedia ones - same problem. Tried new version of Novamedia plugins - no joy.
Finally, read the FAQs in the Novamedia manual, which hint at what you should do:
1) Uninstall Novamedia plugins.
2) Install the official (Nokia) plugins.
All working fine now.
I am running old firmware (2.xxx) on nokia e61, and OSX 10.4.9 on my mac. isync used to work with mactomster plug-ins for OSX 10.4.8, but the native client for 10.4.9 does not work with my firmware, as my phone aborts during the sync process. Or perhaps there is some other problem, but I’ll let you know once I’ve updated firmware.
How does one sync e61 with itunes? I’ve not seen that before…
I am trying to get my E61 with latest 3x firmware to sync up with my OSX 10.4.9 with iSync 2.4. I have had the phone for months and have a lot of stuff in it. Mac started use only recently. each time try to sync I get aborted with message ‘There was an error getting data from the phone. The synchronization may have been cancelled on the phone.’ any advice?
For those of you getting the error
“Device is not available or synchronization was cancelled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again”
this is caused by a missing default synchronisation profile. Instructions on how to create one are here:

why not simply use Itunes Agent - http://ita.sourceforge.net/
also works for your synchronizing all your toys, incl. Oakleys Thump etc.

Can anyone get the E61i to synchronize with a macbook pro (iSync 2.4, OS 10.4.10)?
I’m trying with the Nokia iSync plugin, but get “synchronization fails” every time.
Any ideas? Any 3rd party products that will work?
Hi Pablo. Sorry for the late reply. You can get free nokia isync plugins form my site here. http://www.s60themes.co.uk. Thanks regards Paul.
I had the same syncing problems for a long time on my Nokia E61i. I tried the plugin from Nokia site it worked for a while but then it didn’t update any contacts that I add on my phone to the mac.
However, if you create another user on your mac (OSX 10.4.10) (without installing the Nokia plugin), it works very well via Bluetooth. My friends tell me that the address book library files on the mac could possibly be the problem. When you create a new user, the library files are reset.
Final thoughts: Most of the initial information that turns up after a search, on this issue, could be misleading. If this trick works for you, reseting the address book library files may help.
