6120 - no connections listed, how to restore or ad...

In Nokia Connection Manager on my computer (Nokia PC Suite > Settings > Manage connections), it says "activate a connection type by selecting a check box.  You can edit the highlighted connection by clicking the Configure button."
There are no connection types listed.  The box is empty.  There are no options to add new connections, and the spanner icon is greyed out.  My phone will not connect to the computer as it used to.
I think this started when I installed an update to Ovi recently - I haven't been able to connect my phone to the computer since then, though it has taken me a while to work out where I think the problem lies and come here for help.
I have uninstalled both Nokia PC Suite and the Ovi program, and have downloaded a fresh copy of PC Suite and installed it, hoping that this would restore the connections but it hasn't.  I haven't reinstalled Ovi.
How can I get past this and connect my phone to my computer once again?
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

Big change OVI messed up the drivers. Use PCSuite Cleaner to remove all Nokia related software. Install PCSuite and connect the 6120 when you're asked.

  • Desktop no longer recognises iPhone is connected.  How to restore?

    Although my iPhone 5 displays in iTtunes, it no longer appears as a connected advice in my computer and in my MS Photo gallery.  As I want to download photographs, this is more than an inconvenience.
    My Spacepack, in which the iPhone sits, does display.   But then, it always did.    In fact, both displayed, when connected.
    Any clues on how to make the PC recognise the iPhone again?
    Thank you

    Hi Footplate,
    It sounds like your iPhone is not recognized in Windows when connected to the computer through a case. It's definitely more than an inconvenience when devices don't work as expected!
    For testing purposes, make sure the iPhone is connected directly to the computer, and see this article for some detailed troubleshooting tips that can help resolve this situation:

  • Reading List - how to restore it

    I downloaded Book Macster, a bookmarks sync application. After syncing my Safari bookmarks and data, the Reading List is now empty.
    Is there a way to restore it?
    I do an external drive backup, but am not sure where to look.
    Are there other options?
    Thanks for any help.

    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

  • How to restore iphone from an old back up not listed?

    Hello,
    I've read all through this forumn but still can't quite work out my problem - which is probably simple for peeps with apple smarts...
    i backed up my iphone last week on my laptop in anticipation of updating to iSO5.0.1.
    so today I updated to 5.0.1 on my home desktop, and could have sworn i backed up correctly, but it didn't so it restored to a year ago, it had -50 error now that i think about it.
    i thought its still okay as i knew i had a recent backup on my laptop. When i connected my iphone, it synced and apparently backed it up. now cant seem to work out how to restore to an older back up - it only list the one today.
    can someone tell me how i can restore to a back up that is not listed (only todays is) as i really want my contacts and calendar back?
    any help would be greatly appreciate,
    jackie

    i need to restore it from an earlier back up... is this possible???
    It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

  • How do I retrieve photos/data etc. from my iPhone 4 before a completely erasing restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen!  Help please!!!

    I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore!  How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else!  I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up.  If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please!  MAYDAY!  My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • How to restore when during update, got 'connect to itunes" icon, no option to restore?

    I was doing the latest update, but something went wrong and I got an update failed message. iPod touch had "connect to itunes" icon. iTunes did have a restore button, but only for an instant, and it went away (stupid robo-call rang, and I may have jumped). Now iTunes won't give me a restore option, and sync option in File/devices is grayed out.
    Itunes also doesn't recognize the iPod when I plug it in, although the computer knows it's there. (Makes a sound when I connect it.)
    I have rebooted computer, checked iTunes is latest version.
    Tried the solution of holding down power and home buttons. The apple icon came up, but then it went immediately to the "connect to itunes" message.
    I haven't tried the solutions that require you download a jailbreak program. Hope that isn't necessary.
    Looked all over the internet, and haven't found a situation described where iTunes took away the restore option. Can someone help me?

    - Try another cable
    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    What version of OS X is your iMac running?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
    Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?

  • How to restore an iPhone from a specific folder that iTunes doesen't recognize as a backup but in fact it is a backup?

    Hi, I have an iphone 5 on wich I made factory reset. When I wanted to restore yesterday a backup from iTunes (22.5.2013.) in the middle of restoring there was an error saying that there is not any more space on the computer. After that I can't restore it any more with this backup - the last backup that is available is the one made couple of hours ago. BUT I searched for this backup in the App Files of my WinXP and found that backup folder with many files in there but I don't know how to make my iTunes to restore an iPhone with this specific folder - it seems that iTunes doesen't recognize this folder as a backup but in fact that is a backup.

    Hello olip0101,
    From the following article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.
    Regards,
    Jeff D.
