All I had to do was to pair the p910i with the computer (not in iSync). After that I searched for p910i in iSync. When that was done I clicked on sync and voila. You just have to make sure that you're using iSync v1.5.

Somebody tried the iSync in Tiger yet?

The P910i is now in the compatibility list (!):

You'd be better off posting your query in the main P800/900 area as this thread is aimed specifically at Apple Mac users with iSync and Mac OS X.

Tiger? P910i? Yes, i can confirm that they work perfectly. When you first add the phone to isync, isync sends a .sis file to the phone which installs an application called iSync Config, which seems to just run some sort of sync service thing. The addition of this makes the new version of isync, and you can often sync within 10 seconds, a huge improvement on the previous two minutes.
I got sent a blackberry 7100 for review a few days ago. Anyone any ideas on how to synch it with my mac??

It's tutorials like this that makes me want to get a Apple Powerbook even more... great support is everything when my computer doesn't work the way I say it should.
Been thinking of getting a laptop for ages, and why not a Mac? I love trying new stuff, with this tutorial I'd be able to synch my phone!

Despite a very smooth Bluetooth connection, using the new .sis file sent by iSync, with Tiger, to the P910i, none of my iCal data were transfered to the P910i.
Anyone has an idea?

Cheers,

Having problems with iSync picking up entries from P900. I can only sync by selecting "reset device" from menu. All contacts are syncing but cannot get items from P900. Any ideas. Running Tiger 10.4

I was syncing fine with Mac OS X 10.3.8 and my p910a. Now after upgrading to Tiger, iSync has wiped all of my tasks, address book and iCal entries from my phone. HELP!

Just spoke with Apple support in Sweden. They acknowledged a known problem with p900 and tiger. FYI I worked through the bluetooth connection probs until my p900 finally shows up as a P900 with device=phone. But now isycn says "P900 - Device not supported by isync" (or similar).
They said an update would be out "soon" and would not specify further.

Hi. I used to have a P900, and that synced fine on iSync 1.5 using the hack. Now I got a P910i, and I'm giving my P900 to my wife. I removed my P900 in iSync, reinstalled the standalone iSync 1.5, then added the P910i (as iSync will not allow 2 smartphones!), and got it to sync okay (no hack needed), except there's no icon of the P910i in iSync, but I can live with that. My wife has her own account on my Powerbook, so she has her own Address Book, etc. Will I be able to sync her P900 using her iSync? I'm thinking I need to hack her iSync for her to be able to sync her P900, but if I do that, will it affect my own iSync settings for the P910i? Or is her iSync totally different from mine? Thanks for the help! You guys are great! BTW, I'm still on OS X 10.3.9.

Well, I finally installed Tiger on my Powerbook and my P910i now works well with iSync. It installed a SIS file that after installation becomes iSync Config, which must be run for iSync to see and synchronize the P910. However, the P900 now doesn't work! iSync says it isn't supported, and I haven't found a hack yet that would make it work. I've read about some people though being able to use iSync on their P900, but for the life of me I can't figure out how they did it.

Still have not managed to get isync 2.0 (Tiger) to sync with p900. Note that isync 1.5 wont install in tiger, so I'm at a dead end. Anyone managed to get p900 working with isync 2.0? Any help greatly appreciated! OR, if you have similar experience, how can we pressure apple to solve this? (see my post above)
