W300i iSync 2.3 Plugin

Update:
This is not needed for Leopard!! The W300i will work natively out of the box with 10.5

So the latest version of iSync changed the way that plugins worked which meant that Miche was without the ability to sync her phone with her mac… this will be easy to fix says I…

After playing around for an hour trying to re-write the plugin myself and getting no-where fast I found this page which had a tutorial on creating iSync 2.3 plugins:

DIY iSync Plugin

The site was incredibly helpful and with a bit of messing about I was able to get the correct settings for her phone and it all works again. Here is the fruits of my labours incase anyone else has a W300i that they would like to sync with their mac.

SE W300i iSync 2.3 Plugin

You need to extract this to:

/Library/PhonePlugins (then restart iSync)

The image is incorrect for the phone but is the nearest image I could find for the particular model (which turned out to be a SE Z520).

I had found websites selling their premade plugins but Im loathed to pay for something I think should be free, which is why Im sharing the above to hopefully save others the hassle!

    Mike, I’m glad you found it useful. I don’t have a S500i so I’m not sure I’d be able to get anything working as it really was a case of trial and error.

    If anyone else finds or builds a solution feel free to post it in the comments :D

  2. Mattijs says:

    Thanks a lot for this plugin! It works like a charm!

  3. David says:

    Thanks for the plug-in, now I can rest assured my soon-to-arrive W300i will work…!

  4. Tony says:

    Thanks a lot. This really helped.

  5. Rene says:

    You ROCK! It worked perfectly for me by just putting it in the Library as directed. I’m on 10.4.10.

  6. WinterKid says:

    I just installed OS 10.5 and found out my iSync will not work with the previous w300i plugin. Any ideas?

  7. WinterKid says:

    duh? sorry about that. the SEW300i is on the support list according to Apple’s site for the new OS.

  8. Richard says:

    I had the same problem as Winterkid, I removed the plugin and it worked without the need for a plugin!

    I just discovered this problem with Leopard:

    I ran iSync. I got this message:

    iSync can’t open because of a problem with a plug-in.

    The following plug-in does not work with this version of iSync:

    SEW300i.phoneplugin

    This is the plugin that I got from you (thanks !) that I have been using to sync my Sony-Ericsson W300i with my G4 Powerbook.
    It worked perfectly under Tiger.
    Do you have any suggestion for Leopard compatibility ?

    regards, Trevor

    Thankyou sooooo much! Works great!! Woo Hoo! : )

  11. Dominique says:

    Great, just need to create that folder … and it works perfect.

    Thanks a lot !

  12. Roger Redondo says:

    I get an error with Leopard and this plug in. What can I do?

  13. Roger Redondo says:

    Sorry. I got it! For those of you upgrading to Leopard: Just delete the plugin and open iSynch. iSync in Leopard recognizes w300i without any external help. Thanks for your help while in Tiger!

  18. Cathy says:

    Thank you, thank you, thank you…I have been looking everywhere for some way to sync my phone and Mac! Your awesome!

  19. Daniel says:

    WOW! Great man! :-) I had brought this phone flown to Nicaragua, where they require you to get a license to bring it in, and make you waste a day doing so! I was all but about to sell it, did one last websearch, and there’s the answer! THANKS A LOT, DUDE!
    NOTES: 1) Yes, I did have to create a “PhonePlugins” Folder in my Library.
    2) I’m a novice, and made this mistake: be sure to just put the WHOLE icon/image in there that’s downloaded!! Don’t pull out folders or separate it in any way. I know, I know- seems obvious, but live and learn!
    THANKS AGAIN! FABULOUSSSSSS!

  20. Andrew Nagy says:

    This won’t work for me. :(

    I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4 and I get an error about the plugin not being compatible with this version of iSync. I’ve tried the link to the French website but that file is no longer there. :(

    Anyone know of the fix or know where it’s hosted? Much thanks!

    My friend tell me hundreds of Filipinas are on sites like Adult Friend Finder giving their Yahoo address and having American men send them money to do all kinds of sex acts on cam even pre-teen girls. Sending their money thru Western Union Pay Pal and Xoom and committing all kinds of sin for money.
    Is this tragedy true?
