Last night I updated my Powerbook to Mac OS 10.4.7 and that broke my previously installed plugin that let me sync my Mac with the Nokia E61. This morning I was met with the following error message telling me that the plug-in for the Nokia E61 was missing.
Luckily there is already a fix available that worked fine for me. This time MUCH gratitude and appreciation goes out to Tom over at Mactomster who has created a new plugin that works great. This plug-in will let you sync your Mac using iSync with all E-Series devices. Once again, thanks Tom!
Update: Here is a rough translation of Mactomster's Readme file in German:
1. Quit iSync
2. Move the file “mactomster.phoneplugin”(orange) on to the alias “file drauf pull here!” (red)
3. Start iSync
4. Pair the phone with your Mac using Bluetooth.

I just bought a Nokia E50 and I can’t get it to work with isync by using either the Novamedia plugin or the Mactomster plugin. It worked one time with the Novamedia plugin but now it will get halfway through the sync process and either my computer tells me that “an unexpected error occured” or my phone says “system error.” ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!! I’ve spent $35 on plugins and I can’t get this stupid phone to work. I’m pretty sure it is the phone because I’m not having any other problems with the computer syncing to other devices.
HI FRIENDS,
NOKIA AND APPLE HAVE JOINED HANDS TO SYNC ALL NOKIA PHONES WITH MAC OS. YOU HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR OS TO 10.4.9 AND JUST SYNC, IN CASE YOUR PHONE IS RELEASED AFTER THE UPDATE YOU CAN DIRECTLY DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE FROM NOKIA’S WEBSITE.
I AM GIVING BOTH ADDRESSES FOR YOUR REFRENCE.

ENJOY….
Important note about phone services on the mac. There are 2 types of plugins…one for iSync and one for Address Book.
I got my iSync plugin from Nokia, but I had to copy the folder which it installed into /Library/PhonePlugins to /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/.
I got the Address Book plugin (allows SMS and call notifications) from Nova Media. (http://www.novamedia.de/e_pages/e_produkte_mac_ab_plugin.html) After installing it from the dmg it worked fine.
Hope this helps.
Does anyone have know any way to sync E61 Notes with Entourage Notes - I just got a new Macbook Pro with 10.4.10 and the built-in iSync identifies the phone perfectly, and syncs Contacts and Calendar perfectly. But I am hugely dependent on Notes - I scribble lots of short notes through the day on my E61, and earlier, when I was using a PC, would organize them all after they were synced into Outlook. I just can’t figure out how to get them into Entourage or any other note program. If anyone has a way to do this please let me know.
I NEED HELP … I read all the above .. and still cannot figure out how to sync entourage contacts and Icall with the E61 nokia …
I installed the ISync and paired the phone with the mobile but in the option it only shows contacs Home and work .. No entourage and so when I say syncronise it syncs complete .. but without any results !! NOTHING is change just gives me th etime and that sync is complete … I also tried and installed the plugin as indicated in one of the websites and blogs above and dragged the yello folder into the red folder … but still nothing happens PLEAAAAAAASE HELP .. I am disperate …
Thank you
I tried the macomster plugin - but when i then try to open isync it says i have to delete the plugin files to open isync - so i still can’t sync the E61. However, somewhere in this whole process of installing the macomster thing, it’s also removed the plug in for my 6300, so I’m worese of than before. Any suggestions?
Hi, i just wanted to know if the plugin referred to above is the latest available for OS X 10.11 as of June 2008.
much thanks,
