Oh! Apple

My experience of using iPod Touch, iPod Classics, Mac OSX, Coding in XCode, or anything generally related to Apple

Now my Nokia 5300 talks to my Mac

I found a way to sync my Nokia 5300 with my Mac using iSync. I basically follow the instruction layout by this blog, and within minutes I have all my iCal calendar synced to my phone while the phone book was synced to the Address Book in the Mac. Couple of observation:

  • I don't even need to have the Bluetooth dongle connected while the Mac is booting up. In fact I should NOT do it because the dongle was not being recognized if I leave it at the USB port while I boot up the machine. I have to unplug and plug back in again. So just plug the dongle it when you need to do wireless sync, as of most of the other USB devices.
  • The iCal sync is pretty awesome because my iCal was synced to Google Calendar. So now I indirectly have my mobile phone synced to Google calendar.
  • Now I have one more reason to do backup more frequently.
Too bad that there's simply not that many people calling me at all. Thus I actually don't see way a lot of values syncing my phone with my Mac. But I do think that there's value syncing my iPod Classic 80Gb to my Mac. Just wish that there's way to wirelessly sync my iPod with my Mac.
