My old Nokia Phone is falling to bits. I have used Nokia PC suite to back up the Contacts on it to my old IBM laptop. The laptop has died and i now run any windows only stuff on my MacBook with Parallels 4.0 and Vista Home Premium.
I've installed Nokia PC Suite on Vista but I cannot get it to recognise my phone - a Nokia 6310i. I can pair the phone with the bluetooth directly to MacOS 10.5.7 so the phone side is OK. But when I move to Parallels to run the Nokia PC suite it says "No phone connected". I've tried various configurations and seen lots of options that I don't understand - like lists of ports etc.
Does parallels support Bluetooth or am I wasting my time?
I also have a USB lead that links to the phone. Again PC Suite cannot find the phone. Also it (Vista?) says it has detected new hardware and keeps trying to download software to work with it. I already have Nokia PC suite!!
Is one of the USB connectors COMM1, COMM2, etc?
It's a pity that the Nokia 6310i is one of the phones that is not compatible with synching on the Mac
Any advice gratefully received. I don't want to write down 250 contacts and details and then thumb them into a new phone.
