Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 - Music library problems...

Hello,
Just bought a Nokia E5, looks to be a sweet phone so far...
Only, Ovi Suite is just annoying. Very slow on communicating with the phone (USB connection) and some big problems.
Impossible to delete music from the library ! How is that ?? And also the library takes ages to add a new folder.
Also, not seeing the playlist i've made on the phone ? Either on mass storage connection, in the playlist folder of the phone, nothing... But should be on a other threat.
Hope you can solve the library problem because it's quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

@satari
Yeah, alright already!
We get that without you plastering this message over EVERY single thread dealing with issues of that truly useless and pathetic piece of software called Ovi-Suite.
Especially since the new version DOES NOT SOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND IN THE THREADS YOU MASS PASTED INTO!
Ovi-Suite 3.x still no longer syncs music, which IMHO is a basic function. Who on earth wants to be forced to manually update the phone playlists and songs whenever songs are added on the PC? That is beyond backwards.
Hello? It's 2011, not 1991.
Ovi Suite 3.x still randomly refuses to add songs to the library on the PC (e.g. it skips several songs from an album folder, yet they play fine when added to the phone manually outside Ovi-Suite), an issue that can only be corrected by deleting the entire library on the PC and recreating it. A "repair library" function is notoriously absent.
I'd like a so called Smartphone to make tasks easier and more comfortable instead of harder.
Newer Nokia handsets may be slightly less bad, but the N97 with Ovi-Suite is still the smartphone/desktop combo from hell.
The fruit phone/ITunes combo is sadly restricted by the greed and desire to control everything of Apple, but at least the products work reliably and consistently for the most part. The same is true for 'Droid devices.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 only showing some playlists co...

Hi,
i have created around 20 playists in ovi for my music and copied them 1 by 1 to the device.
I have just connected my phone to add some more music and in the section where it refreshes and displays what music is on the device, its now only showing 6 of those playlists however all of the music is still on the phone.
Does anyone have any idea whats happening here? i want to see whats on the device in OVI.
Thanks.

I am having exactly the same problem. Everything syncs except Calendar events.
Nokia C7 fully updated
Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290
Outlook 2003 (Spanish version)
Windows Vista fully patched (Spanish version)
When I select the sync options Ovi Suite correctly identifies the folder in Outlook.
Notes in Outlook sync fine.
I fixed one other previous problem by making sure I only had one profile under "control panel/mail. So that is not the issue.
Any help?

Moderator, please take notice!
They lack of functionality between Thunderbird contacts and calendar and Ovi Suite is a problem many of us have been monitoring for over 2 years. It looks like still nothing has been done about it. I, for one, cannot believe that so many users have been ignored for so long. To date I still refuse to use Ovi Suite until such time as I can see evidence that will sync contacts and calendar to and from Thunderbird. In addition I see no logical reason why the Ovi Suite developers took a huge step backwards and removed another piece of PC Suite that was already working well, for several years. I am speaking of file sync. Not media files, but others, such as Office type files. The phone can open and read documents, spreadsheets, PDF's and the like. So why can we no longer sync those files? I have been doing this for 6 years, but there are others who have used it for longer than myself. It is a crucially important feature for those of us who need to carry info with us. Since PC Suite can still do the sync, I cannot, in good conscience install Ovi SUite, which I still feel is not yet ready for primetime.
Nokia developers, stop playing games. Some of us have work to do.

Latest OVI Suite Version - Unable to Copy Music, P...

I have a Nokia n900 with the latest MAEMO 5 software on it.
For some reason with the latest OVI Suite update I'm unable to copy Music, Pictures and Videos even the playlists that i make. I did a DROP/DRAG option and also right click and COPY TO DEVICE option. Odd thing though when i do choose the MASS STORAGE options and take a look at .audio folder there is one file that was copied ONLY but its corrupt.
Just tried the BLUETOOTH connection instead since this wasn't there with prev version of the OVI Suite and then copying those media files and it works but it's a pain since i copy around 2GB of files and takes awhile...
Whats wrong with the USB transfer capabilities on the latest OVI Suite?
BTW already downloaded a fresh copy of the OVI suite and reinstalled and still the same issue. Also got a brand new cable and still the same.

@noside143
Sorry for the delay in answering but can only say no issues with OVI Suite v.3.1.1.80 on Xp SP3 device copying music from N900 on Global PR1.2 unfortunately:
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Export Contacts Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290

My Nokia N97 don't want to work with me anymore
Iv'e got a backup of all my contacts on my computer, but how do i export them from Ovi Suite? The easiest way would be if there is some third-party software that will export all my contacts to a csv-file or similar, but i haven't found anything? When the phone was working i was stupid enough to not sync my contacts with Outlook

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 Can not play Video taken with ...

It is quite amazing that software by Nokia can not replay Video taken with phone by Nokia.
VLC player plays the video OK so the video (MP4) looks to be all right.
All thet Ovi says is that the video can not play. Format may not be supported .

I have the same problem, in that I can't get my video's recorded on the phone to play. If I try to double-click and play within Ovi Suite it crashes Ovi Suite, if I open Windows Media Player and try and run it then WMP crashes too (is Ovi Suite using WMO under the skin?) and the best I can get is when I try it with QuickTime I get sound from it but just black screen for the video.
So yes, I suspect it's a problem on my PC but can anyone give ideas on how to fix it?

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 and Messages

I have been using Ovi Suite for a while now, I notice 4 days ago. When I would sync it was faster then normal. I didn't think about it. But today, I noticed that the last date for message in Ovi Suite is 04/04, while today is the 9th, I can browse the phone inbox with in Ovi, and see my message 20+, however when I say sync, it quickly runs and says no message to transfer.
Things I have done thus far.
-> Power Cycle Phone
-> Power Cycle Computer
-> Used the Repair Sync A few times.
-> Removed Message from Sync Setup and Saved and Restarted Program the reselected the Messages again.
-> New Software for Phone just released too, updated to that. No Change.
All other fucntions in Ovi are working as far as I can tell. Just Messages has stopped.
Anyone have any ideas.

I did the re-install now running 3.1.0.74 Beta, on first sync 386 messages are found to be new.
Now all the message that I could view on the phone are in the inbox in Ovi.
Thanks.

N96 Music Library Problems

Hi Guys n Gals
Have a problem with my music library it won't refresh. the refresh bar will come up but it doesn't update and doesn't finish I have to manually stop it.
I have cleared the majority of my music on the phone all bar the preinstalled stuff and a few downloads from the music store (no more than 15)
I had a look on the board for people with the same problem and I tried the deletion of the 3 "private folder" files then perform a refresh. My problem is that I started the refresh 12 hours ago - AND ITS STILL GOING!!!
I'm thinking of taking a full backup of my phone via pc suite performing a reinstall of the latest firmware restoring the files and hoping for the best!
Anyone got any solutions that do involve sending it for repair I've already had it away before for numerous other things and don't wanna part with if again if I can resolve it myself.
Thanks xox
I love my N96.... WHEN IT WORKS!!!!!

13 hours is way, WAY too long
When I said a long time, I meant like 10 minutes!
I was going to suggest that maybe it was too many files in a single folder - used to be something that caused similar problems - however, if you've deleted all the music, that obviously can't be it.
Have you tried a factory reset? There's a menu option under something like Tools .. Settings .. General or there are the *# numbers or the 3 finger salute.

N81 music library problem

Yet again (/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=81518#M81518)
I'm having a problem with Music Library on S60 3rd ed.
I have about 500 mp3 files on my 8GB memory card and when I tried to load some more today - I failed: I copied the files (mp3's of course) via a card reader on my PC, plugged the card into the phone, refreshed the library and got a message:
Searching stopped. 0 files added.
I have firmware ver.11.0.45 (or something) but actually I'm surprised it stopped working so suddenly.

Funny thing is that the PC application from the Nokia PC Suite can't see any music files in the folders I had tried to copy to the phone either. Is something wrong with the files themselves? They're regular 192kbps mp3's.
Plus, the Library on the phone is now incapable of removing files from the library, in other words, it can't see any changes in the files and folders structure on the card.
WTH?

N85(HK)-Music Library Problem

I bought an N85 in hong kong last year. after i went back to China, i changed its language to Simplified Chinese, then the music library didn't work. I transfered new songs( i tried both .mp3 & .aac) to the phone, then i click "refresh the library", it kept displaying "searching...0 added", so i couldn't listen to the music through the music library, but i could still open the .mp3 files in the Tools/File Manager ..
i had to change the language back to Traditional Chinese, and now the music library works well.
i reckon there's a bug. my FM:11.047
i want to use the music library in simplified chinese...though i've kinda solved this problem.. thx

I reckon the problem is that simplified Chinese uses a different character set (single byte v double, maybe?) so it wouldn't be able to use the earlier library files.
My guess is you could get around this by renaming the library files after you've switched to simplified Chinese then refreshing the library. See here for list of files to rename.
