"this device is not supported by iSync"

Have you installed all the latest updates ?

Search google for your phone name & iSync, see if anything pops up, maybe other users have had the same issues and know of work arounds.

ok.. found this

he 6288 is simply to run with isync.

just edit MetaClasses.plist in the package and duplicate 6280 to 6288. (/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist)

to be honest - I've just placed the text from 6280 replacing 6280 with 6288 (only left 6280.tiff).

6288 is small improvement only to that model and this method gets isync working. oryginal file was backup'ed for security, but - it's works. enjoy.

now my phone is the same as the 6280... so i don't understand how to do this

thanks

Got to your applications folder.

Find isync

Right click on iSync and select Show packet contents

navigate to /Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync/Contents/Resources/

Right click on file MetaClasses.plist

Select Open With

Select TextEdit

Find the part of the file referring to the Nokia 6280

Highlight that group of text,

Copy it below where it appears in the file and change all references to 6280 to 6288.

Save file

Start iSync

there is also a program called bitpim that works good a little configuration is needed but this will allow you to copy everything off of your phone. be careful if you delete something is no bueno.
