There is lim ited mac support. There are downloads at the Nokia site for Maps Downloader for mac and media Transfer. These allow transfer of maps and some integration with iTunes. It is also possible to connect the N97 in USB mode which allows direct file transfer that you can also use to put music and videos onto the phone.

Synchronising PIM data is rather more problematic.As yet there is no iSync plug in for the N97. There are work arounds using Google calendar to sync diary entries. Contacts are more difficult. There are issues with importing or synchronising contacts that seem to be in the contacts application itself. The only thing that worked for me was using a PC and the curent version of PC suite. even then I had to export my contacts to google then export from google in Outlook CSV format and import into Windows addresses before they would import to the phone and I had to do a factory settings reset on the phone before they would sync.

Hopefully an iSync plug in will appear before longor Contacts app will be fixed.


Best of luck

I am not sure what you want to restore, but if a factory reset is what you want to do, this puts it back to the way it left the factory, except for any FW updates these will stay. Make sure you have made a back up of the phone and then if this is what you mean by "restore" then type in *#7370# and it will reset the phone. You will have to enter everything just like when you first removed it from the box.

Just to explain what copyless wrote a little further:

There are two types of resets (for want of a better name):

1) Factory settings: This does not delete anything off your phone, but resets the phone settings back to those when it left the factory and can be found in:
Settings / Phone / Phone Management / Factory Settings.

2)Hard Reset: This formats the C: drive (phone memory) and then re-installs the FW version you have installed on the phone. This is acheived by opening the phone dialer and typing *#7370#. You will need to enter your code for this (default code is 12345). This will wipe all files from the C: drive including contacts, messages etc. It is therfore advisable to back-up first.
