UPDATE: Nokia now offers a free official utility dubbed Media Transfer which provides support for transferring photos & videos with iPhoto, and music with iTunes. The utility also provides support for application management on your handset.
Having spent my fair share of time with various mobile handsets, I’ve spent a noticeable amount of time and patience in order to get both my cellphone(s) and computer(s) synced and "playing" nicely. "Playing nicely" referring to simple tasks such as syncing iCal events, todo lists, contacts, and notes to more frivolous tasks as syncing music, photos, or video libraries.
The problem that most OS X users will face is the fact that most mobile phones do not include the necessary software and / or drivers required. From my own personal experiences using a Palm Treo 700p, BlackBerry 8703e, and a BlackBerry 8100 (Pearl) getting devices to sync as expected required the help of individual or 3rd party developers rather than official software / drivers provided by manufactures for OS X.
In order to sync my previous devices with OS X, I was unable to turn to the manufacturer or Apple for full support. Rather, I was forced to turn to Mark/Space for any syncing needs. Recognized as the best solution for syncing Windows, Palm, or BlackBerry mobile phones with OS X, Mark/Space is the only solution available for reliable results. Although Mark/Space does offer discounts for cross-grades between different syncing software, the amount of money that I had already spent moving between different devices had me gritting my teeth after moving to the Symbian powered Nokia N95. Fortunately, Nokia supports its users across both - Apple & Windows - platforms.
Apple iSync + Nokia, instant support out of the box
Apple offers users a convenient syncing utility known as iSync which works wonderfully for a wide range of devices out of the box (Apple’s official mobile phones support page) - support for select Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Sony Ericsson, Sendo, and Siemens handsets.
Nokia users will notice that iSync supports quite a number of devices out of the box - 43 devices as of this article. Rest assured that although the support page does not list all of the newer Eseries & Nseries devices, Nokia provides official iSync downloads which will ensure your devices is supported. Visit the Nokia iSync Software downloads page for additional information and installation instructions.
Once iSync has the appropriate drivers installed for your device (assuming your handset required a supplemental download from Nokia), you can immediately enjoy the the simplicity of iSync to move your calendar items, todo lists (iCal), and Address Book contacts + pictures.
Apple iSync with the official Nokia N95 supplemental device driver download installed - Supports USB or Bluetooth
iSync supports both manual and automatic syncing via USB or Bluetooth, as well as added customization of specifying syncing [only] Address Book contacts with phone numbers, not synchronizing events prior to a specific date, or instructing iSync to ignore events older than x days, weeks, or months.
Connecting your Nokia (N95) via USB or Bluetooth
Fortunately, connecting your Nokia device is as simple as using the included USB cable or running the OS X Bluetooth Wizard. Nokia kindly walks users through both setups on its Nokia / Mac page. Users who plan on syncing their device via USB will want to bookmark Nokia’s Initial USB Setup page. Bluetooth users will want to do the same for the Initial Bluetooth Setup and Pairing Your Device With Your Mac. All three tutorials are incredibly easy to follow - thanks to both Nokia and Apple’s thorough documentation and wizard walk-through.
It is important that Bluetooth users authorize their computer permanently in order to eliminate the "Accept connection from [computer name]" prompt each time iSync connects with your device.
Automatically sync your Nokia (N95) mobile phone via Bluetooth
One convenience that I was never able to setup correctly with any of my previous devices - Palm & BlackBerry - was the ability to automatically sync my desktop iCal events, todo items, and contacts via Bluetooth. Blame it on the fact that neither of my previous mobile phones interfaced directly with iSync. Fortunately, after creating a simple AppleScript Automator application, I discovered two methods which support automatic synchronization - an iCal event which triggers the Automatic iSync application, or Home Zone (Blueooth proximity) which triggers a sync when the mobile phone is within Bluetooth range.
Both methods - iCal & Home Zone - require that a) your device has been successfully paired (check the previous Nokia tutorials above), and b) the Automatic iSync Application (below). The 56KB zipped directory includes the free Automatic iSync Application & README. Note that this application is not limited to Nokia handsets. Automatic iSync will support any devices which communicate successfully with iSync - check the supported devices list for mobile phone.
Automatic iSync Automator Application
Scheduled syncs with iCal
My preferred method of syncing events, todo items, and contacts requires both iCal and the Automatic iSync Application. Rather than syncing data automatically whenever the device is within Bluetooth range with Home Zone, an iCal event can be scheduled to run daily, twice a day, or every other day depending on how often you update your handset or desktop. Because I am sure to be at my my desktop computer both as soon as I wake or before heading to bed, I create two sync times - one at 8AM, the second at 7PM. You can create similar triggers by following the steps below.
- Open iCal and create a new event titled "Mobile Sync" (or whatever you prefer).
- Select "All-day"
- Move down to "Repeat" and select "Custom" from the drop down menu. Select "Weekly" as the Frequency and "Every 1 week(s) on:" M-F.
- Select the "End" date when your syncs should stop. June if you plan on picking up the iPhone.
- Locate "Alarm" and select "Open file". iCal will issue a prompt asking if you would like to apply the trigger to a single event or all repeated events. Select "All". You will now see a new drop down menu underneath "Open file". Select "Other" and specify the location of the Automatic iSync Application.
- Underneath "Open file" select "The same day" from the drop down menu and specify a time (8AM).
Once you’ve created your repeated event(s) using the settings above, iCal will trigger the Automatic iSync Application every week day until your specified end date at 8AM. All that is left to do is to ensure that you have your handset within range with Bluetooth enabled at the time specified by your event.
Bluetooth proximity syncs with Home Zone
Home Zone (public beta) is a menu bar application which automatically runs specified action or changes your computer configuration based on the proximity of Bluetooth devices or AirPort base stations. Setup is a little more involved, but the extra features offer far more flexibility and functionality outside of the scope of a simple data sync between a mobile handset and iSync.
Home Zone operates using three configuration options: 1) Zones - defined by one or more Networks or Bluetooth devices, 2) Triggers, and 3) Actions - performed when entering or leaving a zone.
Similar to triggering Automatic iSync with an iCal event, you can instruct Home Zone to do the same whenever your mobile handset is within Bluetooth range.
Screenshot of Home Zone configuration settings for mobile phone syncing - click for larger preview
- Under "Zones", add a new zone titled "Mobile Sync". Your Mobile Sync zone should appear with a status of "Not available".
- Under "Triggers" create a new trigger selecting "Bluetooth Device" as the "Kind", and then press the ‘Select Bluetooth Device’ button. The OS X Select Bluetooth Device window will appear where your pre-paired device should be listed. Highlight the device and press ‘Select’
- Under "Actions", create a new action. In the "Action" preference window, you can select "Enter" or "Leave". For the purpose of syncing, select "Enter".
- From the "Action" drop-down menu, select "Open file" and drag the Automatic iSync Application into the drop-zone or select the built-in "Synchronize iSync".
Following the settings above, Home Zone will automatically sync your mobile phone whenever it enters or re-enters Bluetooth range. If Growl is installed on your machine, you will recieve a Growl notification whenever an action is completed. Home Zone can be used for far more than simple syncing including enabling a screensaver password, disabled a screensaver password, pausing iTunes, setting a default printer, etc.
Manual Nokia (N95) mobile phone syncing with Quicksilver
Quicksilver users can sync their Nokia (N95), or any mobile phone via Bluetooth using the Automatic iSync Application and a custom defined trigger. Create a custom trigger which opens the Automatic iSync application following the steps below:
- Open Quicksilver Preferences and select "Triggers" from the top menu bar.
- Press the plus sign at the bottom of the window and select "HotKey".
- Drag the Automatic iSync Application into the "Select an item" field and press ‘Save’.
- Highlight your new Trigger and select the "Trigger Info" button at the bottom of the window.
- In the Info pane, re-title the Trigger if needed and specify your custom "Hot Key". Double-check that Activate "On Press" is selected and close the Quicksilver Preferences window.
Rather than relying on scheduled or proximity syncs via Bluetooth, Quicksilver users can quickly sync their device via USB or Bluetooth with defined Triggers before stepping away from their computer.
Manual photo, music, and video file management
Unfortunately, I have yet to find any OS X applications which provide support for two-way syncing of photos, music, and video files. At this time, the following are the only sure-fire ways of getting theses types of files to and from your mobile phone.
Moving files to and from your device via Bluetooth is easy with the OS X Bluetooth File Browser
- Automatic import into iPhoto - If your mobile phone supports USB Mass Storage as the Nokia N95 (Eseries & Nseries) does, iPhoto will automatically import photographs and videos into your computer library. Simply connect your device to your computer via USB and ensure that Mass Storage is enabled on your device. Alternatively, your device should appear on your desktop as an external drive allowing you the freedom to browse and file manage individual directories.
- Nokia Music Manager - Not as convenient as an iTunes plugin, but Nokia does offer a Music Manager. The Nokia Music Manager provides support for managing the Nokia N91 playlists, importing CDs, and shuffling music to and from your mobile phone and Mac. Here’s hoping for similar support for the rest of the MP3 enabled handsets.
- Browse device via Bluetooth - With Bluetooth enabled, and a supported handset, freely browse your devices memory using the OS X Bluetooth File Browser. Easily shuffle files to and from your device via Bluetooth.
Although much of this article was written to address the needs of Nokia users, the tutorials and syncing options can be applied and used to sync any mobile phones listed on iSync supported devices page. If your device is not listed, check your manufacturers website for official support, or Google for individual developer software and drivers support.
Would official support affect your next mobile phone purchase?
Nokia has yet to provide a comparable application for its Windows PC Suite - which allows Windows users to browse, manage, send, and receive messages, conduct firmware upgrades, or create custom themes - for Apple users. Whether or not a cross platform application will be released is nothing more than a dream. However, it is very clear that Nokia users are not left completely in the dark or forced to pay for additional software in order to enjoy their devices on both platforms. Will other manufacturers follow suit? Will future mobile phones be delivered with both a Windows and OS X support / software discs in the box?
Will your next mobile phone purchase be affected by knowing whether or not the device manufacturer provided official software support for both Windows and OS X? Or have you accepted the idea that paying for privately developed software / drivers is the only way to enjoy your future smartphone? With the upcoming release of Apple’s OS X 10.5 Leopard, will we see more mobile devices supported out of the box? I believe Apple is going to create a truly amazingly seamless desktop / mobile experience with the iPhone & OS X that will surely force manufacturers to develop OS X friendly software to compete. What are your thoughts? [Digg it]

Very interesting read, Derek. I don’t have a cell, but it’s nice to know that when I do it will play well with my Mac.

Having to manually manage photos, videos, and music with that technique alone is enough to make me totally write this phone off. Still waiting for the iPhone.
Quote
Interesting read. Still, I think I’ll wait for an iPhone. What’s not to love about it except for the price tag, so far? (Battery life is still not clear)
Quote
Man, I miss the days when the sync menu bar icon actually triggered iSync and not .Mac Sync — that used to be my preferred way to quickly getting my phone to sync up.
Quote
Wow, that’s some impressive integration. I was wondering about it’s ease of input. Is it easy to make a new appoitnment and does it show up properly in iCal? I ask because I run an education blog, and I’m researching good student mobile phones.
Quote
I found myself missing that exact same feature. Even if the iSync menu bar item did initiate a manual .Mac sync, I wish it included a mobile handset sync as well.
Calendar items created on the handset sync seamlessly with iCal. Title, location, date (start & end), time (start & end), and full description (notes) are all saved properly during a sync.
Quote
You get that kind of functionality with all N Series phones. Its definitely nice, but the media syncing leaves a lot to be desired.
Quote
Where’d you get the Bluetooth File Browser? I can’t seem to find that anywhere.
Quote
There are two ways to get the Bluetooth File Browser. The first - and easiest way - is to open System Preferences > Bluetooth > Settings and ensure that "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" is enabled. Doing this will give you that extra Bluetooth menu with the "Browse device.." option within. The second way is to go to drill down through Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth File Exchange.

What about maps transfer from OS X to N95. I think it is still missing…:-((
Quote
You can manually manage maps from the Smart2Go database by moving the files on to your external MicroSD card. Maps are stored in the Private directory on your memory card. Let me know if it’s something worth writing up.
Quote
What I’d like to know is - how does the N95 handle multiple calendars? Does it colour them? Does it categorise them? Anyone know?
I would really like to carry my calendar, as well as my wifes, kids, latest movie releases etc, but as separate calendars.
Regards,
Shane.
Quote
Shane, unfortunately the default calendar application does not differentiate between calendars. I have no experimented with 3rd party calendar applications but I can summarize what the included calendar can do with your iCal events / todo items:
* Full title sync
* Full location sync
* Full description sync
* All day events in iCal show up as events on the device as 12am-11:59pm
* iCal reminder notifications (message + sound) will alert you visual / audio on the handset
Not sure if I’m forgetting anything. Let me know if there is something specific that syncs that you want checked.
Quote
Hi Derek,
Yes please!! I’m on the cusp on purchasing an N95, but this is the thing holding me up especially since you need to download the “smart2go uploader” (Only available on PC!).
Cheers
Doug
Quote
Sorry Doug, I think I may have gotten people’s hopes up saying that you can manage maps from OS X. You can. But you’ll need to download the maps manually from someone who has previously downloaded them. I’ve done so via Parallels on an Intel Mac. I have not yet tested Crossover but I will soon. At the moment, I’m downloading select maps and adding them to a Box.net account. If you, or anyone is interested in a specific map download, let me know and I’ll make sure it’s updated and available for download.

No mention of how well it plays thru wifi? Suprising seeing its so much faster to transfer big files and has better siganl distance than bluetooth. Did u try doing anything with wifi?
jayme
Quote
The only thing I’ve tried doing over Wifi is browsing - which is extremely fast (no surprise) - and Skyping. As soon as I am settled at home, I enable Wifi and use my N95 as a dedicated Skype handset. I could very well as easily use Skype over EDGE though. For file transferring using nothing but the software provided by Nokia on the handset, I have not yet tried. I’ll make sure to try and stream video content wirelessly to Apple hardware to find out how well it works. I know Windows works well, but I can’t comment on interoperability with OS X.
Quote
can you please advice if the description (not the title) of a to-do (not event ) also sync in the ical as a attached text inside the notes field of the to-do entry.
Thanks
Quote
Todo notes sync as they should. From the standby screen you’ll see the your incomplete todo items. Clicking on each single Todo item will present another screen which includes the title, description (any notes that may be associated - the full note), due date (if any), alarm (message and sound alerts set in iCal work on the phone), and priority (normal, important, very important).
Quote
Hi you say
It is important that Bluetooth users authorize their computer permanently in order to eliminate the “Accept connection from [computer name]” prompt each time iSync connects with your device.
How exactly do you do that?
Quote
Open your Bluetooth application (Tools > Bluetooth), switch tabs (so that your paired devices is in view). Scroll down the to computer you would like to permanently authorize and select ‘Options’. Scroll down to ‘Set as authorized’.
Quote
Many thanks for such a speedy response. Sorted.
This page alone gave me confidence to switch from a PPC to Nokia N95! The sync is working like a dream.
Quote
Glad to help out, and congrats to for the move to the N95. I just started - all too late - to realize that I can assign a Trigger from Quicksilver to sync exactly when I need to using the above Automatic Sync app. I’ve assigned CMD + Opt + ` to sync on demand.
Quote
Take a look at iTuneMyWalkman. This software lets you sync podcast, music and Pictures from itunes to your mobile phone and works great with the n95… i’ve just tested it and it works great.
Quote
Great tip Netmorix!

Thank you .!.
Glad to find out that Nokia solved the E61 issues with this update .
To-do notes never sync with E61 , only the subject .
Quote
N95 is great, but I am waiting for E90…
Quote
The E90 looks great and is definitely a handset that I look forward to playing with. I’m not too sure about carrying around a mobile phone with equivalent physical dimensions as my home phone though.
Quote
Hi Derek and congrats on a great article & followup.
Quick question, you mentioned using Skype on you N95. I have an E61i, and have been using Fring for Skype interoperability. It works flawlessly, but the app is leaves a bit to be desired.
What are you using for Skype?
Quote
At the moment I’m using Fring as well. It works well for me over EDGE (quite surprising). There was another client that I used that was strictly Skype but I can’t seem to remember what the name was. I lost the application after I updated my N95 to the latest firmware. I know it started with an ‘i’ though.
Quote
It might have been iSkoot, perhaps. I’ve had a look at it, but don’t really fancy a paid app
Well, thanks anyway! I’m sure looking forward to a proper Skype client in the near future.
Quote
I believe it was iSkoot. I used it for quite some time and never paid for it. Briefly looking at the site again there is a free download with the only requirement that you register at iskoot.com. I’ll look into it further when I get on a desktop. The logo looks very familiar so my gut feeling is that you found the missing app that I was looking for. Thanks.
Quote
With the new plug-ins my N95 syncs fine with my apple.. However, when events in iCal are ticked as “All Day Events” they appear on my N95 as a meeting and not a memo thus including a 24hr time.. on old nokias it was possible to hack the coding to change this so it views as a memo and just states the event..
Anyone no how this could be done on the N95

Nothing to do with the N95.
See my note above..

THANK YOU for your post about the isync plug in. My N95 is syncing wonderfully with this isync plug-in - except for with ical. Unfortunately all my ical entries dates are all over the place which isn’t very useful on a calendar. Anyone any ideas as to why/how to rectify? At present the entries are 18 hours behind.
I thought about trying to cheat the GMT clock … but thought there must be an easier way?
Quote
Hi.
I thought you were the best person to come to on this. It seems my N95 won’t sync now. I have traced it back and all went wrong after the last updates from Apple. Could Safari Beta mess up the Isync plug-in or something? Or maybe OS X 10.4.10, but I seem to have been successful until the latest Safari update on Monday.
Regards.

Hi,
Anyone know if you can browse an n95 through mac’s finder app?
Cheers,

Dave, the best option would be to use the Mac OS X Bluetooth device browser. Was there something specific you wanted to do by browsing the handset with the Finder? Most of the functions of moving / copying files can be done with the Bluetooth device browser.

Hi Derek!
A few rows earlier you write, that if anybody tell you a specific map, you could (?) download it. Its rigth?
Because I have a Mac and no PCs in the near of me, so if you could please download me the Hungarian Map (actually I think it 15,5 MB?)!
Thanks a lot!

Hi Derek,
Any info on syncing the N95 8GB with iSync? I downloaded the N95 patch from Nokia, but when I iSync, it doesn’t work — device not supported. Any suggestions? Anyone else experiencing a similar issue? Solutions?
Thanks. Great page.

Hello Derek,
Fantastic ! I almost did not want to buy a Nokia N95 because I was sure that I would not connect to my Mac. This is absolutely fantastic news and it works !!! Now I need to get some music from my ITunes into my N95.. Possible ?
A happy Daniel
Quote
@Roger, I guess the North American 8GB version has some changes that broke the free Nokia software. Make sure to contact support to let them know that they need to update.
@Daniel, I simply created an Automator worflow that synced a local music folder and a folder on the Nokia. Crude, but worked.

Hi,
great tips.
i made everything you said, but were are the contacts now? I want to send them to my i-phone, how can i see them?

Have the same problem with the Nokia N95 8GB
Found this UK guy that makes custom plugins
http://web.mac.com/the_reamer/S60/isync3.html
He have support for the N95 8GB. I just ordered one (3UKP) but it’s one a clock in the morning in England so i don’t expect an answer until tomorrow. Then we will see if it’s works!
Quote
Ok,
So I have the N95 8GB after having lost my N95. At first when I went to the Nokia page I noticed that there wasn’t an N95 8GB patch. Recently I went back and noticed that they had put an N95 8GB patch onto the site. I have installed the N95 8GB patch yet my iSync still claims that my N95 8GB phone is not a supported device.
I tried emailing Nokia but they told me to email Apple. Who exactly at Apple should I email?
Anybody else still having issues? Maybe the N95 and the N95 8GB patches are clashing?
I am based in the UK if that makes a difference.
Matt

@ Matthew
Having the same issue you are. Downloaded the 8GB patch (nice to see it), but still getting device not supported message with iSync.
Solutions anyone?
Roger
Quote
@ All you N95 8GB people..
The phone reports incorrect gmi+gmm so the plugin does not recognize it.
What I did to “fix” it was to change the gmi+gmm required in the MetaClasses.plist file
Just replace “Nokia+Nokia N95 8GB” with “Nokia+Nokia N00″ and iSync works like a charm.
Dunno if this breaks anything else so please proceed on your on risk =)

hi guys, really helpful site here. but think im still screwed. im running Mac OS 10.3.9. i have recently bought the N95 8Gb and want to have it synced with my mac. can anyone offer any advice?

What worked for me was making sure the firmware on the Nokia N95 8GB is the version 11.0 xxxx or whatever it is. Once I had the firmware to version 11, I downloaded the 8GB patch from Nokia and it synced with iCal. Running Leopard on a macbook.
Hope this helps.

And about being one a clock in the morning, he answered me one hour after i Paypal’d and it works!
Funny problem i had with my phone and using it as a bluetooth/usb modem (on my Macbook 2ghz core2 10.5.1). It just wouldn’t connect. I’m in sweden and using the operator “3″. I put in the APN key and user/pass and so on and nothing worked. so in pure desperation i left everything blank (even took away the APN) except the number where i just put “3″… and the bloody thing works.

I had some problems with my N95 8Gb, but I was able to modify the plug-in provided by Nokia, so now it works both with Tiger and Leopard.
Try it out and see if it helps.

Hi there,
Excellent tips here - have got my N95 8G sync’ing fine after applying the “Nokia+Nokia N00″ patch.
However, one issue I’ve noticed is that if i try to sync with “Syncronise all day events” ticked I get “an unexpected error occured”. Checking the logs I can see:

Dear all,
i have a different challenge here. As you all know, you can define how many weeks in teh past the sync should take place. Unfortunately all calendar entries are deleted from the phone earlier than the 4 weeks for example. I would the sync just to leave the calendar entries, not deleting them (reason: I sync the phone wiht my company calendar via OneBridge. so also all teh entries in my company calendar are deleted).
My question: Where can i manually adjust the time span i want to sync in the past in one of the config files? If I can change it to 50 weeks for example, ecerything would be fine.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
