Since the N95 8Gb isn’t yet supported by Apple’s iSync (at least not in 10.4, which I’m still using), and the Nokia iSync page still doesn’t cover it, I decided to whip up my own by modifying the existing N95 one. This page put me on the right track. If you want it; knock yourself out.
Update 2008-02-12: Tried fiddling with the identification tags to see if it works better with new firmware. Not sure if it helped, though, but try it!
Download (34kb) and place in /Library/PhonePlugins/
i just wanted to let you know that i’m very thankful that i’ve found your site.
i was looking for a plugin and found several people trying to explain how to get the n95 8gb working with isync, tutorials, howto, references, posts, forum threads and so on…
your solution works. it’s easy. it’s perfect.
thanks a lot for taking the time to make life a bit easier on the rest of us.
Thank you thank you.
This plugin worked for my Nokia N95 8GB using Mac OSX 10.4. I tried a fair few other plugins but they all seemed to not recognise the N95 8G.
Thanks for making it .. good stuff!

You rock! Thank you so much for hooking this up. Why can’t Nokia get it right? You’d think they wouldn’t want to alienate Mac users.
Whatever. This is great. Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Merci beaucoup ….
et joyeux Noel
THANKS a lot for your plugin !!
It works perfectly with my N95 and OS X TIGER.
by the way do you a solution to use my PARROT PARTY bluetooth portable soundbox. My problem is that tiger does not support AD2P and my soundox uses AD2P… any trick ?
Merry christmas !

Thank you so much for your plugin. It works perfect ¡¡¡
Have a merry christmas from Spain.
Thanks for the plugin. Easy to install.
Thank you very much from Spain also
Happy new year!
Same with me here. On the nokia site they offer a plugin which doesn’t support de N95 8gb. This one does perfectly under os 10.4.11 and isync 2.4!
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Your plug in works for me. I’ve been looking for this plug in for the longest time. Bless you! Happy Three Kings!
thank you for your plugin!!! from italy
THANKS!!! for doing this
the Nokia provided plugin does not work in 10.5
thanks again!
Thanks a LOT. This plugin solved my problems clean off, allowing me to sync my phone with iSync. Nokia’s own plugins can’t help me, and yours did. KUDOS can’t even cover this! Sweet.
Stupendo! Grazie!
Does not work with leopard
Thanks for trying, but it does not work. At least not if you have 10.5.1.
Since seems to work for most people, but not for some (I use 10.5.1 myself, and this plug-in), perhaps there are variations in the phone firmware? My N95 8Gb was bought here in Singapore and has firmware v 10.0.021 (according to Device Manager).
Afraid this doesn’t work for me running 10.5.1. and Nokia N95 8GB v1.15 software
Waaay! Thanks a lot!
Have tried a whole lot of other fixes but nothing worked, except this one. Excellent!
I cannot thank you enough!!! I bought my N95 8G at their store in NYC six weeks ago, and I have almost wanted to throw it at the wall. I went up to Nokia tech support, who steered me to a plugin that didn’t work. Since then, I’ve been looking all over. And this one just worked clean as can be. Perfect. Do you know anything about adding and defining a new sync profile on the phone with a name for this? The two profiles already in the phone are called lifeblog and pc suite.
Now, if you could just publish how to get the GPS to work!

Hello, perhaps I spoke too soon. Although the plug in worked, I am now getting incoming calls with plus sign (+) in front of the numbers, and my custom ring tones have disappeared. Nokia support has no answers. Any ideas how to solve this? I am now afraid to sync my phone anymore. Regards, BG
Hi,
does not work with my configuration
10.5.1
Is there a solution_
bonvie, do not be so negative. I have Nokia 6110n and the official Nokia iSync plugin does the same. It syncs, but all incoming calls and text messages show with numbers and not with names.
The Nokia support asked me to see if I have duplicate entries with same number. How hard would it have been to take the first hit from the list, instead of showing just the number :p
I Like, it works, it saved my day.
Thanks a lot - works under 10.5.2 and my MacBook. The Nokia N95 8GB plugin on Nokia’s site did not work - this one does!
James
Thank you, you saved my father who’s trying N95 with a macbook :)
I was so frustrated not having any contacts on my phone and I tried other remedies suggested by blogs but nothing worked! Your plugin worked like a charm!
Thank you so much!
petrisirk,
I do not mean to be negative, just frustrated. I gave up on sync until today, now isync does not even want to complete even though it sees the phone. I am going to paste the message it gives me:
Thursday, 3 April 2008 6:53 PM
[BG N95] Device is not available or synchronization was cancelled. Close dialogs and applications on the phone and try again.
Device “BG N95″ synchronization failed
And, there are no open applications that I know of that are running. any help much welcome.
I have OS 10.5.3
Sadly, no joy with the plugin. I will crawl around to my neighbours (devout PC users) and beg the use of their system toupdate the N95 8GB firmware. Maybe this will help.
I echo the remarks of some above that it is pretty crummy of Nokia not to a) have anticipated this problem and b) responded to it.
If any of you have a suggested fix, please pass it on.
Thanks
You are my hero. If you ever find yourself in Zürich, look me up and I’ll buy you a beer!
