Thanks Ronni,

I'll download it this coming weekend: I have one of those weeks coming up in 
which I dare not alter the status quo on the computer just in case it all goes 
pear-shaped.

Regards,

Michael Hawkins.

Hi Michael,

I’m not sure what is happening as my replies are not coming into WAMUG Mailing 
list for some reason.
I posted the reply below at 5:12:51 PM yesterday and it hasn’t arrived to the 
WAMUG Mailing list yet?

I realised I had not typed the correct link in my reply regarding ‘Missing 
iSync’

So, sorry Michael from Ronni ;-)

The link I supplied previously I had not typed correctly :-(
If you click on this link, you will download the latest version of iSync.  
iSync: http://jools.me/iSync.zip

Cheers,
Ronni

===
Lol Daniel, not often I beat you to the ‘Punch Line’ ;-)

Actually Michael, the latest version of  iSync should work in Lion with a Nokia:

If you click on this link, you will download the latest version of iSync.  
iSync: goo.gl/xyusc
Click on the iSync.zip archive in your downloads folder and it will expand into 
the application itself. 
Move the iSync application into your Applications folder. 

Now, try and run the Nokia plugin installer (it should run unless there is 
something about Lion that prevents its functioning). 
If it does not install, then use the below procedure to manually install the 
plugin.  

Here's a way to manually install the plugin:

1-Obtain the plug-in installer from Nokia. Open the dmg archive.

2-Right-click on the installer package itself (not the dmg archive). Select 
show package contents from the contextual menu.

3-Open the Contents folder.

4-Drag the item Archive.pax.gz to the desktop.

5-Right-click on Archive.pax.gz and open it with Archive Utility

6-You'll see a folder called Library on the desktop. Inside this Library 
folder you'll see a PhonePlugins folder. Inside this PhonePlugins folder is a 
folder with a name that probably begins with Nokia_ (For instance, for my 
n79, the name of this folder is Nokia_N79_isync_plugin_2v1.phoneplugin).  

Drag the Nokia_ folder to a pre-existing folder in the following location:
Mac HD (or whatever you name your primary hard drive) /Library/PhonePlugins.  
If the PhonePlugins folder doesn't already exist, you may create one in the 
path above.

7- What you should end up with is: Mac HD/Library/PhonePlugins/Nokia_...

Now, run iSync, plug in your phone, and do an Add Device from within iSync.
Should work.

Oh my goodness now I realise you are still working in Snow Leopard, so possibly 
an easier way for you to get iSync to work in Lion:

hi Rod

Just to follow on from this.
I (like Ronni) took the plunge this weekend and upgraded my laptop to 10.7.
(Well, not really upgraded. I cloned it to another partition on my laptop
then did a clean install from scratch and reinstalled all my updates and
apps. Took a bit longer, but I like to do it that way) :o)
I then set up my new iPhone 4s and upgraded to iCloud.
Everything went to plan. Bar something strange with my Desktop folder that
wouldn't let me open zip files to it. A repair of permissions fixed that it
seemed.
I then did the same to my MacPro. Erased and installed the Main drive and set
everything up from scratch on that. Installed all the updates and Apps and
then set iCloud up on it.
So all three devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone 4s) seem to be working
fine. I haven't done the iPad2 yet,..its still in the box.
I ran the little hack to make the Finder colours come back,..makes things a
lot easier to see (for me I find).
If only I could do the same with Mail.

Apart from that. all going well, and I'm just doing the fine tuning parts
now. :)

Even running 3 computers and 2 iPhones I found I was still sitting around
waiting for things to finish copying, reinstalling, updating etc. Lol. Mind
you, I was doing other work at the same time,.so at least lots was getting
done. I would have got more finished last night but my little one woke up at
2.30am with the wind/rain,..so had to go settle him which meant lying down.
Still,. he woke at 7am,…lol. So wasn't that much of a break away from
it,…lol. ;))

Now to just get a couple more things fine turned and I might think about
doing the iPad2…lol.

Hope that sort of helps :)

For me, I'm not installing either at the moment. But that's due to a) still

Hi Daniel,

You've probably moved along since Rosseta was needed, but I still had some
old software installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Lion. The
ancient software didn't cause any problems, but when I got around to
removing the old software Lion sped up considerably.

Now to learn how to synchronise contacts between my Nokia E63 and MacBook
Pro ... or perhaps I'll wait until my iPhone 4S arrives this week and back
up the contents of my Nokia and back up my MacBook Pro before I try to
synchronise my iPhone with my Nokia and them y MacBook Pro. The last time
I tried to synchronise phone and computer was about 6 years ago and I
found that I lost every contact which was on the phone but not on my
computer.

Any tips would be very welcome.

2011-10-16 Thread Daniel Kerr

Hi Michael

Nope, I was still using FileMaker 6 for one database and Filemaker 10 for 
another. So I decided to move to FileMaker 11 for them both. That was one of 
the reasons I didn't upgrade straight away. Hadn't changed the old database as 
yet, and wanted to make sure I had the time to fix anything that came out. It 
transferred ok, bar a few layouts movements which are fairly easily fixed.
So I was still reliant on Rosetta myself. But all fine I think,.. :o)

Have a look at BluePhoneElite. It used to be very good for non iPhones. ;o) 
Haven't used it for a while, but it should still be good (I think). As always, 
yes, lots of backups of everything!
Once you have it all into Address Book and iCal then you can move it to iCloud. 
Then once new iPhone arrives, set up iCloud on the phone and it will come back. 
Easy! ;o))

Kind regards
Daniel

 Just to follow on from this.
 I (like Ronni) took the plunge this weekend and upgraded my laptop to
 10.7. (Well, not really upgraded. I cloned it to another partition on my
 laptop then did a clean install from scratch and reinstalled all my

 I then set up my new iPhone 4s and upgraded to iCloud.
 Everything went to plan. Bar something strange with my Desktop folder
 that wouldn't let me open zip files to it. A repair of permissions fixed
 that it seemed.
 I then did the same to my MacPro. Erased and installed the Main drive and
 set everything up from scratch on that. Installed all the updates and
 Apps and then set iCloud up on it.
 So all three devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone 4s) seem to be
 working fine. I haven't done the iPad2 yet,..its still in the box.
 I ran the little hack to make the Finder colours come back,..makes things
 a lot easier to see (for me I find).
 If only I could do the same with Mail.
 
 Apart from that. all going well, and I'm just doing the fine tuning

 Even running 3 computers  and 2 iPhones I found I was still sitting
 around waiting for things to finish copying, reinstalling, updating etc.
 Lol. Mind you, I was doing other work at the same time,.so at least lots

I have been avoiding doing this for now because I feel it will cause too much

I intend to invest in a new iMac after Christmas and have been waiting until

 Hi Stuart,
 
 In Lion OS X 10.7: One of the most significant new features of Lion is 
 Recovery mode, officially called 'Lion Recovery.’ 
 
 When you install Lion, the installer creates an invisible, bootable, 650MB 
 partition—a portion of a drive the operating system treats as a separate 
 volume—on your startup drive. 
 This partition includes a few essential utilities for fixing problems, 
 restoring files, browsing the Web, and even reinstalling Lion.
 
 Because it’s a separate partition—and one that’s invisible even to Disk 
 Utility—even if you were to erase your Mac’s hard drive, Recovery mode would 
 still be available at startup.
 
 The idea behind Recovery mode is that if you ever have problems with your 
 Mac’s startup volume, you can boot from Recovery HD and perform some basic 
 troubleshooting procedures without the need for an OS X install DVD.
 
 Of course, because the Recovery HD partition is actually part of your Mac’s 
 internal hard drive or SSD, if that drive is having hardware problems or 
 partition-map issues, the recovery partition itself may be inaccessible. 
 
 In other words, Recovery mode won’t save you from every problem, and it’s no 
 substitute for having a reliable, regularly updated backup.
 
 INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO RUN LION 10.7 DISK UTILITY: Repair Permissions or Repair 
 Drive
 
 Restart your computer. 
 Hold down COMMAND+R keys to boot into the Recovery system.
 
 If you have trouble with that, hold down the option key during startup. 
 When presented with available volumes from which you can boot, choose the 
 Recovery volume.
 
 Either way, you can then run Disk Utility and Repair Disk on the partition 
 which is giving you trouble.
 
 The repair partition is basically all of the repair/utilities you find on a 
 OSX Installer DVD.
 
 The obvious reason that Apple does this is because Apple will soon be going 
 to more devices without optical media.  
 Having the repair partition built-in makes it easier to fix your machine if 
 things go bad.  
 
 With 'Repair Permissions’  you will always get error messages from it -- 
 ignore them as long as you see Repair Permissions Complete you are OK.
 
 As to your query “How Often should you repair permissions and repair the 
 drive’?
 
 I only ‘Repair Disk’ if I am experiencing some problems with the Hard Drive.
 I ‘Repair Permissions’ after an update to the Operating System or if I’m 
 experiencing any problems.
 
 Below is an explanation of ‘Repair Disk'  ‘Repair Permissions’.
 
 Repair Disk:
 
 The Repair Disk function of Disk Utility is used to check hard disk volumes 
 for directory problems and repair them if possible. 
 The directory of a volume is the map of where data are physically stored on 
 that volume. 
 
 Directory corruption can result from hard drive problems or improperly 
 shutting down the computer. 
 Improper shutdowns include power outages and pressing the power button to 
 force a restart or shutdown after a freeze, hang, or kernel panic. 
 Directory corruption problems range from files becoming lost, damaged, or 
 overwritten to a disk becoming unusable.
 
 Repair Disk Permissions:
 
 The Repair Disk Permissions function of Disk Utility verifies and, if 
 necessary, repairs the permissions on Apple originated, Apple-installed files 
 and folders (objects) on a volume on which Mac OS X is installed. 
 Such objects include system-related files and the Apple applications bundled 
 with Mac OS X.

 Ronni

Hi Stephen,

We require more information about your iMac to be able to advise you.
I posted to WAMUG after Lion was released, “Prepare For Lion” and a link to
where you could download my Tutorial from my support website.

In my Tutorial “Prepare For Lion” is the requirements required to install and
run Lion.

Firstly:
1. Make Sure Your Mac Can Run Lion:
Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon
processor Choose Apple  About This Mac and look at what the Processor line
says. Look for Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon. Anything
else—specifically, “Core Duo” (without the 2) or “Core Solo”—and you won’t be
able to run Lion.

RAM: Lion requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, but the more RAM you have, the
better your Macʼs performance. I recommend at least 8GB RAM to run Lion
successfully.
To see how much RAM your Mac currently has installed, choose Apple  About
This Mac and look at the Memory line.

Free Disk Space: At least 20-30GB. More Free Space is better, of course. Lion
needs room to grow.

Cheers,
Ronni

Ar, I must have been working with a very old Nokia then (or I was lucky) when I
did it for a client as we got all their SMSes saved, Contacts moved across and
other data to the computer. Then it was easy to get Contacts into Address Book
which went straight to the iPhone.

Other option is if it Syncs with iSync (not in Lion) then that can work as
well, just for Contacts.
Nokia have this link, which mostly backs to iSync I believe from my quick look
at it,..

This link may help as well.
http://www.troublefixers.com/how-to-transfer-contacts-from-nokia-phone-to-apple-iphone-without-using-computer/

You could also try, as a last resort…..
If the contacts are saved to the SIM on the old phone, you can I believe get
something that copies them to a new SIM (Like a little device, Phone shops may
have it). Then you can copy them from one SIM card to another and import to new
iPhone then into Address Book.
or if really really really stuck, cut down the old SIM to the new micro SIM
and use it in the iPhone to get the contacts. :)
(Note,..I don't recommend this, incase sometimes goes wrong,..lol,..I'm just
saying it could be possible).
You'd only want to do this if you had 1000s of contacts you didn't want to re-
enter. :o)

Phone Director perhaps?
http://www.macmedia.sk/pd.htm

Phone Amego? Possibly…..
http://www.sustworks.com/sb_site/index.html

Just a few more I found while linking around,…

Something there may be an option…. :)

hi Rod

Just to follow on from this.
I (like Ronni) took the plunge this weekend and upgraded my laptop to
10.7. (Well, not really upgraded. I cloned it to another partition on my
laptop then did a clean install from scratch and reinstalled all my
updates and apps. Took a bit longer, but I like to do it that way) :o)
I then set up my new iPhone 4s and upgraded to iCloud.
Everything went to plan. Bar something strange with my Desktop folder
that wouldn't let me open zip files to it. A repair of permissions fixed
that it seemed.
I then did the same to my MacPro. Erased and installed the Main drive and
set everything up from scratch on that. Installed all the updates and
Apps and then set iCloud up on it.
So

 Hi Daniel, 
 
 BluePhoneElite used to be excellent but no longer works for me :(  I have 
 not yet found anything to replace it so sad.  The developer is no longer 
 keeping this up to date as he has a full time job I think.

 Hi Michael
 
 Nope, I was still using FileMaker 6 for one database and Filemaker 10 for 
 another. So I decided to move to FileMaker 11 for them both. That was one 
 of the reasons I didn't upgrade straight away. Hadn't changed the old 
 database as yet, and wanted to make sure I had the time to fix anything 
 that came out. It transferred ok, bar a few layouts movements which are 
 fairly easily fixed.
 So I was still reliant on Rosetta myself. But all fine I think,.. :o)
 
 Have a look at BluePhoneElite. It used to be very good for non iPhones. ;o) 
 Haven't used it for a while, but it should still be good (I think). As 
 always, yes, lots of backups of everything!
 Once you have it all into Address Book and iCal then you can move it to 
 iCloud. Then once new iPhone arrives, set up iCloud on the phone and it 
 will come back. Easy! ;o))
 
 Kind regards

 Hi Daniel,
 
 You've probably moved along since Rosseta was needed, but I still had some
 old software installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Lion. The
 ancient software didn't cause any problems, but when I got around to
 removing the old software Lion sped up considerably.
 
 Now to learn how to synchronise contacts between my Nokia E63 and MacBook
 Pro ... or perhaps I'll wait until my iPhone 4S arrives this week and back
 up the contents of my Nokia and back up my MacBook Pro before I try to
 synchronise my iPhone with my Nokia and them y MacBook Pro. The last time
 I tried to synchronise phone and computer was about 6 years ago and I
 found that I lost every contact which was on the phone but not on my
 computer.
 
 Any tips would be very welcome.

 So all three devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone 4s) seem to be
 working fine. I haven't done the iPad2 yet,..its still in the box.
 I ran the little hack to make the Finder colours come back,..makes things
 a lot easier to see (for me I find).
 If only I could do the same with Mail.
 
 Apart from that. all going well, and I'm just doing the fine tuning
 parts now. :)
 
 Even running 3 computers  and 2 iPhones I found I was still sitting
 around waiting for things to finish copying, reinstalling, updating etc.
 Lol. Mind you, I was doing other work at the same time,.so at least lots
 was getting done. I would have got more finished last night but my little
 one woke up at 2.30am with the wind/rain,..so had to go settle him which
 meant lying down. Still,. he woke at 7am,Šlol. So wasn't that much of a
 break away from it,Šlol. ;))
 
 Now to just get a couple more things fine turned and I might think about
 doing the iPad2Šlol.
 
 Hope that sort of helps :)
 
 Kind regards

Hi Stephen,

In my Tutorial “Prepare For Lion” is the requirements required to install and
run Lion.

Free Disk Space: At least 20-30GB. More Free Space is better, of course. Lion
needs room to grow.

Cheers,
Ronni

What is the consensus regarding upgrading to Lion on an iMac 2.15 ?
I have been avoiding doing this for now because I feel it will cause too
much slow down.
I intend to invest in a new iMac after Christmas and have been waiting until
then.
However my patience is wearing thin while I wait !!

Hi Stuart,

In Lion OS X 10.7: One of the most significant new features of Lion is
Recovery mode, officially called 'Lion Recovery.’

Because it’s a separate partition—and one that’s invisible even to Disk
Utility—even if you were to erase your Mac’s hard drive, Recovery mode
would still be available at startup.

In other words, Recovery mode won’t save you from every problem, and it’s
no substitute for having a reliable, regularly updated backup.
