Here is the complete solution:

1) Open iSync

2) Add new device (make sure your P900 is discoverable)

3) Add P900 (or .P900) in iSync

4) Close iSync

5) Open System Preferences - Sharing

6) Go to Firewire {sic, should be Firewall}

7) Click on "New"

8) Port number - "Other" - Port Number Range or Series = 3004

9) Description = Put something like Bluetooth

10) Close all

11) Open iSync and do the thing

Explanation:
By default on Mac OS X 10.3 Firewall is switched ON. iSync is done via Bluetooth port 3004. The other solution is to disable Firewall for all, which I wouldn't recommend.

Hey Amir buddy, you should know who this is

That's one of the fixes, but not the only fix for the problems people are having with iSync. Another problem stems from the fact that the P900 used to declare itself as a P810 when setting up a bluetooth paired connection to the Mac. Somewhere in the firmware revisions, Sony caught that mistake and corrected it to now declare itself as a P900. Problem is iSync only has definitions for a P800 and P810. If you get into the .plist files of SyncSevice, you can copy the definition for the P810 and duplicate the line, changing the name to P900, and iSync sees the P900 again.
