[jrcb]

Hi all,

I have recently bought a Nokia N95 8Gb and am wondering if there is any way to use it with my Apple Macbook. Friends with the original N95 have told me that it was compatible with Macs......... Can anyone help?

Hi again about transfer >

Q: How do I transfer content between compatible Nokia devices?


A:

With TranConfigurations
Device Address Book Address Book Pictures Calendar To Do Itemssfer, you can transfer content, such as contacts, between two compatible Nokia devices using Bluetooth connectivity or infrared.

The type of content that can be transferred depends on the model of the device from which you want to transfer content. If the other device supports synchronization, you can also synchronize data between the other device and your device. Your device notifies you if the other device is not compatible.

If the other device cannot be powered on without a SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When your device is switched on without a SIM card, the offline profile is automatically activated.

To transfer content:

To retrieve data from the other device for the first time, on your device, select Transfer in the Welcome application, or select Menu > Tools > Utilities > Transfer.
Select the connection type you want to use to transfer the data. Both devices must support the selected connection type.
If you select Bluetooth connectivity: To have your device search for devices with Bluetooth connectivity, select Continue. Select the device from which you want to transfer content. You are asked to enter a code on your device. Enter a code (1-16 digits), and select OK. Enter the same code on the other device, and select OK. The devices are now paired.
For some device models, the Switch application is sent to the other device as a message. To install the Switch application on the other device, open the message, and follow the instructions on the display.
If you select infrared, connect the two devices.
From your device, select the content you want to transfer from the other device. Once the transfer has started, you can cancel it and continue later. Transferring time depends on the amount of data to be transferred. Content is transferred from the memory of the other device to the corresponding location in your device.
Synchronize, retrieve, or send content
After the first transfer, select from the following to start a new transfer, depending on the model of the other device:

to synchronize content between your device and the other device, if the other device supports synchronization. The synchronization is two-way. If an item is deleted in one device, it is deleted in both. You cannot restore deleted items with synchronization.
to retrieve data from the other device to your device. With retrieval, data is transferred from the other device to your device. You may be asked to keep or delete the original data in the other device, depending on the device model.
to send data from your device to your other device
If Phone switch cannot transfer an item, depending on the type of the other device, you can add the item to the Nokia folder to C:\Data\Nokia or E:\Data\Nokia and transfer it from there. When you select the folder to transfer, the items are synchronized in the corresponding folder in the other device, and vice versa.

Use shortcuts to repeat a transfer
After a data transfer, you can save a shortcut with the transfer settings to the main view to repeat the same transfer later.

To edit the shortcut, scroll to it, and select Options > Edit shortcut. You can, for example, create or change the name of the shortcut.

A transfer log is shown after every transfer. To view the log of a previous transfer, scroll to a shortcut in the main view, and select Options > View log.

Handle transfer conflicts
If an item to be transferred has been edited in both devices, the device attempts to merge the changes automatically. If this is not possible, there is a transfer conflict. Select Check one by one, Priority to this phone, or Priority to other phone to solve the conflict. For further instructions, select Options > Help.

I use the isync plugin from Nokia Europe - iSync - Download software - Get support and software

I synced my 8800 with isync.

Tidied up my address book. Then paried my n95 with my macbook. Relacaunced isync and it appearded as a supported device.

Then resynced and all my contacts where transfered to my new n95.

It was all straightforward and worked as expected.
