Just found this program that claims to halt the crashes associated with using the USB cable and the k750i. I do not have a k750i, but have a z800 and it seems to work. Go to: Click me to download.

Good luck

Re: WirelessMonkey's K700 .plist hack (Page 11)...

Now iSync 2.x has official --ahem, "support", has anyone been able to get the SMS/dial functionality thru Address Book to work?

...or am I going to have to mess around and lose the shiny K750 icon?

@brap:

Dialling and SMS with Address Book works perfectly for me, and I've never done WirelessMonkey's Address Book hack.

Hm.

My K750i was installed after the 2.x iSync update, and 10.4.2. I've not had to screw around with anything besides the 'grabber' app, to prevent crashes.

Firmware version R1L002, unbranded, on Virgin Mobile.

When Address Book is connected, the dial and SMS menu items appear -- they just seem to do nothing. Have I missed something?

Actually, I just had a look in my Address Book at the .plist file and it appears I may have edited it! I don't remember doing it, but looking back through this thread I even mentioned it!

my k750 won't work with isync 2.1 , I think it might be because my powerbooks bluetooth address (system profiler/bluetooth) is 00-00-00-00-00-00 , I know this aint normal , any clues how to fix that ?

If you've got an external USB dongle, try unplugging it and restarting, then plugging it in again.

If your Bluetooth is internal go to the Bluetooth preference pane (if you don't have one then your Mac doesn't even realise its supposed to have BT!), in the Settings tab click "Turn Bluetooth off", restart, then turn Bluetooth on again.

Also, try deleting "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" from ~/Library/Preferences.

If none of that works, I would suggest its faulty bluetooth hardware. Try borrowing a USB BT dongle from someone to see if that works.

BTW, is this your post on Apple Discussions, or has someone exactly the same problem as you?

Jools:

Thanks. The extra string in the .plist was just what it needed. Curious that it wasn't added by Apple when they fixed iSync...

...although Address book hasn't had anywhere near as many bugs as appear in the rest of Tiger. Maybe they're taking an 'if it ain't broke' approach ;)

Any of you with Panther (10.3) having problems getting iSync to see the k750i after following the lindmark.net directions?

When i go to "Add Device" it simply scans then finds nothing, but on the phone it pops up "Synchronizing...", then it says "Session Completed".

Any thoughts?

THanks.
