5800 v50 ovi "sync" doesn't do that at all

"sync" in my book means, make folders/data "both the same" using various rules to determine what has been deleted and what is the latest version of a file
"sync" on ovi just copies files from the phone to the computer
and it does this multiple times
so you end up with DUPLICATES
the only way to get content back on to the phone (after you've had to reformat the memory card due to the p ss poor performance of the phone even with the v50 firmware running) is to select the content and copy it back
this works, but then copies all the DUPLICATES back and a whole bunch of other files that ovi found on my pc that were NEVER ON THE PHONE
this product is a total failure (consistent with the phone in that case)
this is a bug, o nokia developers, please fix it

So what makes you think it's somehow related to your Arch install? My initial reaction would be that your stick is simply defective.

OVI sync doesn't work

It goes through some kind of 4 stage setup, but then says it's logging in & fails. Not surprising really because I've never had the opportunity to enter my login details. I also want to change the settings to send only as have been burnt before by the on-line sync doubling up on every entry, but am unable to do this. Is there another app I can download to do on-line backup?

You should be able to, but I've never really gotten around to fixing mine. For some reason if I sync over it lately it doubles all my phone book entries if I use the Ovi Sync app. The settings should be in the Settings>Connectivity>Sync Content if I remember correctly, but I've been feeling a little bit hassled to mind the correct settings for it when I can just use the PC.

Nokia 5800 and Ovi Suite Contacts Sync Changes Pic...

Hi,
I have a Nokia 5800 and just installed the latest Nokia Ovi Suite (2.0).
It is a good tool, but I have a problem with the synching my contacts.
Befor Ovi sync, I use to associate pictures from my gallery with contacts. When I dial the contacts the picture of the contact took up most of the screen (until the contact answers the call - then it makes the picture small and puts it in the speech bubble)
After I sync'ed with Ovi Suite, the contact picture now shows up as a small - very small - thumbnail image during the call on the phone.
Is there something that can be done to protect this from happening, or a setting that can be changed in Ovi to use a large picture instead of a thumbnail?
My 5800 has the latest firmware installed (available to me in my country) - which is 31.0.101.
Thanks for the help in advance.

one more bump and then I give up on Ovi suite. Once again

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

Ovi Sync tool for Nokia 5800 - Cannot update exisi...

Hi,
I am using OVI Sync tool, to copy/sync my Phone contacts regularly on Outlook Address book.
There i found the bug in the OVI Sync manager, that if i have changed mobile number of contact "A"in my phone, i do sync using OVI suite on my PC, to update my same Outlook contact "A", the sync tool does not have intelligence to check whether the contact "A" has chnged its Mobile number in the phone, and it is mismatching with the one present in Outlook... (It simply does the sync process..and says no updates foundin the phone) i have marked the sync preference such a way that, "Always copy Nokia phone contents to Outlook"
Eg. Initially Outlook and Phone are in sync. Contact A - mobile numer - 111 (in outlook and in phone)
I change mobile number 111 to 000 in phone.
Now Outlook has 111 Phone has 000 for contact A
I do sync using OVI Tool
After sync complete, the Outlook contact should get updated to 000. Which is not happening
Please help

OVI Suite Doesn't Sync Car Phone and Pager Fields

Hi,
I'm very very disappointed with this new suite, but I had to start using it as Nokia PC Suite doesn't work with x64 version of Windows.
Now, I'm facing this annoying issue. Fields such as "Car Phone" or Pager never get synchronized to my E90 device. Even when I'm creating a new entry on the device it doesn't sync to my OVI or Outlook!!
It looks like if the OVI suite doesn't recognized these fields at all!!!!!!
Any suggestions?????

This is OVI and Nokia style of ignorance. I have sent them several request last months, no reply at all.
They don't batter about this issue at all. I have the same problem on my N8 and from what I can see, Nokia has forgotten to implement Carphone in Nokia Suite, which I expect to be an easy task for them to solve.
Where is a responsible Nokia manager?

HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer. 'Sync' doesn't do it. What do I do?

I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7. Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer. I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad). ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else. So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa. It doesn't do that anymore. So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album). What is going on?
Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
How can I download my iPad to my computer?

-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2

iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.

PC Sync doesn't work with Outlook and 6300

Whilst I appreciate there maybe other posts similar to this there doesn't seem one that give enough information and when the suggestions are tried (the ones I read) they didn't work.
I can sync with Nokia Communication centre (Emails and messages) but my 6300 won't sync with outlook (PC Sync)- contacts, notes or calendar.
Here are the details:
Windows XP SP3 & Also Vista Business SP1
PC Suite is 7.0.7.0 (Also tried the version that came with the phone).
Connection method - USB
Phone Nokia 6300 latest firmware V 06.01 RM-217 (as checked on 27/7/2008)
Outlook 2000, 2003 & 2007

Nokia PC Sync Warning
PC Sync information.
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisation.
Possible Solution
Please check your Synchronisation settings and ensure your phone is in the Idle state, then restart the Synchronisation.
Phone Message
Data Transfer not possible
Synchronisation Info:
Calendar: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Contacts: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Notes: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Calendar Notes: Updated on other device New:0 Removed:0 Updated: 0
Tried this on three computers with two with XP Pro(Outlook 2000 & 2003) and one with Vista Business (2007). Added new folders for test and also created a clean Outlook installation (2000 on one XP machine). None of these installations work with synchronisation. Tried just Contacts, Notes and Calendar on their own. Still no good.
The main reason for wanting to do this is to transfer my Calendar from my 6230i (there seems to be no other way of doing it) and use it on my PC.
I have managed to copy my contacts using PC Suite 7.0.7.0 by having both phones connected and selecting all the contacts from the old phone to the new phone in Nokia Communication Centre. Seems you can't do this on old suites. I can also see messages there as well although I haven't tried to copy them yet.
What is interesting is that with all the same settings in PC sync and the same folders in outlook I have been able to synchronise my 6230i calendar both ways with no problems at all. It is just the 6300 that is giving problems either way.
So is this a firmware bug, PC Suite bug, Interface bug, or just that some settings on either phone or PC that need changing to suite the 6300?
Without this working there is no way that my desktop calendar can synch with my phone. As I said the 6230i was no problem.

Thanks for that. I did indeed manage to do a calendar backup from my 6230i and then restore it to my 6300 and YES it did work.
So how come that a calendar that obviously works on the 6230i phone can be restored to the 6300 phone, and the 6230i can do a sync to outlook. Yes I did that as well. I managed to sync the 6230i to a clean calendar in outlook, Modify it the calendar in Outlook and then sync it back to the 6230i. I then had to back it up in order to restore it to the 6300.
Are you seriously saying that it is the format of the calendar when the 6230i does it so well. It seems obvious to me that it must be either the sync firmware of the 6300 or the PC connect software not taking account of any 6300 firmware differences.
As a test I added an appointment to a completely blank calendar on my 6300 and tried syncing that with the same errors. When syncing you can for a split second see something trying to be synced but too fast to read. It would be more helpful if there was a proper log of actually why and where the problem occurred. So if Nokia (or anyone)has some debug software please can I try it?
Whilst I have, after nearly a week of trying and search the internet, found a solution to my immediate problem (copying the calendar), it appears there isn't a solution to integrate the phone to Outlook - unless somebody know different.

IPod classic won't sync, doesn't go into disk mode what do I do next?

Here we go, another iPod classic problem. A few days ago I noticed a lag while going through my artists list. Went home, tried to sync, iTunes said I had a corrupted file please restore. Not the first time this has happened so I thought it would be an easy fix. Nope. Restore didn't happen. Now my classic doesn't turn on unless plugged in to my PC. Went through the motions for everything Apple reccomends, nothing. The screen looks like it's in disk mode, but doesn't say disk mode on it. It won't go into disk mode, so I can't reformat it on Win 7. Shows up in windows as removeable drive but does not show up in iTunes so I can't change settings or do another restore.

Main Issue: Short; in disk mode all I get is a screen that says "Okay to disconnect" with a check mark
In Disc mode, yes that is all you see on the Ipod Screen, as the iPod becomes an external hardisk and not a media player with Menu. I's main function is to store files to/from the Mac.
Hard reset (using the menu and middle buttons
Reset the iPod - you ust press the Menu and center button for about 10 secs till the logo comes ON.
I need to be able to put in disc mode to at least run diagnostics on it and can't even do that.
If you want to go into disk Diagnostic, read this excellent post from tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
Today, the ipod is not even being recognized by the computer to say that it's there. There is no "connecting" screen, not even a charging symbol.
*Exception: It will charge when hooked up to a charger in an outlet which leads me to believe it's a software issue in the ipod.
You can try all the above, but you should know that when connecting the iPod to a Mac, do not use the Keyboard USB port, or any USB Hub. if you are using a Macbook Pro, only one USB port can be use for the iPod, the other one is not a high Power USB 2.0 port, which shared the Internal bus with iSight and other IO devices like Mouse, infraRed, Bluetooth etc.
So take a look at your Mac user manual and see which USB port to use.
Have a nice day!

Ovi sync incompatible with N96

So, I've just spent the past hour or two trying to make head or tail of this.
I was finally able to create a new Ovi account today so I could start from scratch.
Step 1: Create Ovi account, confirm mobile number and have sync settings sent to you by SMS
Step 2: Sync calendar, contacts and notes with the setting "to server only". Your calendar entries, contacts and notes will be sent to the server.
Step 3: Log in from the web. Your contacts and notes are there but not the calendar events.
Step 4: Delete a note. Reset the sync profile on your N96 to "both ways" so that the removal of the note is synced to your phone.
Step 5: Re-do a sync. Instead of removing the note from the phone it is reinstated online...
Conclusion: Either Ovi sync and the N96 are not compatible, or incorrect settings are being delivered by SMS.

Do you need different user names for each account
Not necessarily if your username is available in both Nokia account & Share on Ovi you can obviously create two identical username/password pairs. But you need to register separately to both of them.
I actually red from another forum (I think it was Symbian freak or guru)that Nokia has plans to merge the user databases. Let's hope for the best..

I have a big problem. I lost my other device, and Sync doesn't recognize my Recover Key, even if I generate a new one. What to do? I have all my bookmarks there

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934696 - locking''
The Sync doesn't recognize my Recovery Key ("Wrong Recovery Key") even if I generate a new one. What to do?

If you have generated a new Recovery Key, then unfortunately the account data that you had before is gone (Sync will wipe all data before creating a new key to ensure it stays secure). So unfortunately at this point, unless you have a backup of your data somewhere, it is inacessible.

Used to have problem 'USB phone parent' driver couldnt be instaled - Just done PC suite cleaner and fixed that problem.
Now its installed driver wise, so 'My computer' sees N97, and phone says its in PC suite mode BUT
Ovi suite doesn't detect it. I tried 'add new device' it still didnt find it.
I can browse it fine through my computer.
And before you say - yes phone is in PC suite mode.
I also just did hard reset of phone

Please follow the steps provided below and check.
Uninstall the following from add/remove

- go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\OviInstallerCache and remove all the sub folders inside that.
For windows vista and windows 7 it will be C:/Program Data/OviInstallerCache
- Restart Computer
- Download and install ovi suite

Help in restoring the contacts which ovi sync mess...

I had meticulously organized all my contacts and synced them with OVI suite to my N8. Then when i trie to sync using OVI suite to OVI.com suite started crashing repeatedly. Then i tried to sync from my mobile and ended up messing up all my contacts with the old ones already on the server.
Ok, now what i want is to delete all these messed up contacts and put contacts from either outlook or ovi suite (yes, luckily the contacts in outlook and ovi suite are intact since i synced only with my handset). Can anybody help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a similar problem with messed up contacts by OVI Sync. Duplicates to all of my contacts where created in my OVI Sync database as well as in my N95 after I was trying to synchronise my N95 with my OVI Sync online database (I don't really understand how that happened, however, the problem is happened there are no settings what to do in case when duplicates are found). Right now, the only correct and actual data (contacts, calendar, notes,...) are in my N8, my N95 and OVI Sync online database are messed up (duplicates). And because there are no synchronisation settings (such us where to take the information from when different information are found) neither in my N8 nor in the OVI Sync online server, I am afraid to proceed with any synchronisation using my N8. Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance.
