Album Sync - PC to N95 8Gb

Hi,
I've got all my photos in folders on my PC (as albums on the Photos app) but I can't see a way to transfer the albums to the phone.
All I have done so far is to copy some photos in a group to the phone and then have to add them manually to a new album that I have created on the phone.
What I'm looking to do is to drag the albums from PC side of the app to the phone - am I missing a way to do this?

Unfortunately only Music works with WMP11. Even though WMP11 also supports Images and Videos this functionality is not compatible with Nokia devices yet.
There's a rumor that the N96 will support WMV and as such maybe WMP11 video synchronization may be included as well, but this is a rumor.

How do you display album art on the N95 8Gb?

Does anyone know how to make album art display when an album is playing on an N95 8Gb? It appears on some albums but not on others. I dragged my music folders from my itunes folder and in each album I have a small GIF or JPG file as the album art, but where do these go when the music files are dragged across - I can't find them anywhere on the phone, yet some of them display whereas others don't.
Solved!

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

How to synchronize N95 8GB with Google calendar

Hello,
I'm using N95 8GB and I would like to synchronize all my information with Google Calendar. How can I do it?
Thank you,
Tom K.
Solved!

Install MfE (Mail for Exchange), then follow this: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
You can sync your mail, contacts and calendar with Google Sync. Tasks and notes are not supported. (Notes syncing is not possible with MfE anyway.)

[N95 8Gb] No more MP3 ringtones and message tones....

Hi,
Last night I cleared my N95 8Gb of all the music and tranferred some new albums with Nokia Music afterwards. Now I'm not able to select any song or sound effect from my music collection as ringtone anymore!!
I can select a song in Music Player and set it as ringtone but I cannot go via settings and browse my MP3's... The same goes for message tones: I'm only able to select the standard **bleep** ringtones and none of the sound effects I uploaded as MP3 using Nokia Music.
I beginning to be amazed at how **bleep** Nokia Music can possibly be: before, everything worked like a charm and I was totally pleased with my N95 8Gb but now I can't even do the most basic things due to this piece of junk that Nokia calls Nokia Music...

I have a similar problem (N95-1). All the songs i have (about 400+) will not show up. When i remove the memory card, all the songs on the phone shows up. Try this fix (I am using the latest firmware).
Navigate to the Home Media App (Main Menu>Tools>Connectivity>Home Media), Share Content: Select Options (Left Softkey), then refresh contents. It will take some time depending on the number of songs, videos and photos you have. After it has finished refreshing, you should be able to select any song from the phone or memory card from within the tones menu.

Nokia n95 8gb CDC COMMS ERROR - FAILED DRIVER INST...

Hi, If anyone could put this demon to rest I would be greatly appreciated.
I have been using my NOKIA N95 8GB for over a year with my computer, that runs Wondows Vista. A few months back I discovered that My phone would no longer connect to the computer in Windows Media Player Sync mode. I then found this was true of all connections except PCSUITE. Even though it does connect in pc suite mode, the computer states that it is installing the drivers for the phone,a nd then opens a little windows in the task tray where it says all the things it is installing. Eventually everything except two things are installed. CDC COMMS, and COM16
If I attach the phone in any other connection other than PCSUITE My phone makes an unhealthy fast usb connection tone, and does not seem to resgister. If i go into Device Manager I can see the computer does realise the phone is there but has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. The phone does not show up in Windows Media Player, or in My Computer as a secondary hardrive as it should.
This problem has now been apparent with two different phones, Vodafone sent me a new product to check if it was the phone itself. I checked the phone on my mum's computer and it seems to work fine, I can install all drivers and The phone registers in pc suite and media player.
its a pain having to go back and forth between my mother's house however so any help would be really appreaciated here. Either write on here or email me at
Thankyou so much

Since you narrow it down the probllem to your pc/laptop why not have your pc/lapto scan for virus/malware from the net. If the problem still persist then have a clean re- install of the os & do a restore of your backup.

Sync the Nokia N95 8g

Hi
Can anyone help me to sync the new Nokia N95 8g to my iMac. I have downloaded and installed the plugin from Nokia and the device can be seen under USB connections but isync does not find it.
Thanks
Stransham

It seems that the v10.0.271 build of the N95 8G software incorrectly identifies itself as Nokia N00. This means that iSync doesn't recognize it. You can fix it by edit the file /library/PhonePlugins/NokiaN95_8GB1v1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist and change the text near the end of the file from <string>Nokia+Nokia N95 8GB</string> to <string>Nokia+Nokia N00</string>
You will need to unpair the device and then use Bluetooth Setup assistance to make it work
It then works... there maybe a new version of the firmware from Nokia that can be dowloaded.
NOTE: you can determine the firmware by entering *#0000# on the main phone screen

Playing Music Suddenly Pauses on N95 8GB

I'm using an N95 8GB model (firmware v30.0.018). I updated the firmware from the factory one.
Since then, the music player seems to just pause music. It doesn't hang - it just pauses the music. I can listen for 40 minutes and then it'll just pause. It takes about 2 or 3 seconds before I can hit Play again play the music from the point it paused.
When it first occurred, I thought I'd hit the pause button on my headset controller but I have eliminated this.
Now I've searched around and people have been saying close unnecessary program but I only have Music Player, Standy and Logs running. Most other solutions aren't applicable.
It doesn't matter what the song is. All songs are wma from Media Player. I don't think it's a corrupted file. I have done a format through media player before syncing my music a couple of times.
Any help appreciated.

Connect your phone to the pc, delete the music, reboot it and see if it can open again. If so reload the music.
If it still won't open you will need to reset your phone. Make sure you back up everyting that you want to keep before you try it.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.

Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 make N95 8GB hang and connecte...

My N95 8GB hangs and restarts automatically every 5-10 mins. My Device manager says, I have v 31.2.2008. And as soon as I connects to the Ovi Suite and my phone get added to ovi suite and when ready to sync, phone gets restarted automatically and keeps repeating and never get a chance to sync with Ovi Suite for the first time. I heard pretty bad about the Nokia services that they take all your time and with no output and it now proved when tried installing Ovi Suite.
Please make sure your services have highest quality and some regression test done across your software and phones. Please don't waste users valuable time.
Regards,
Kora.

Hi Kora,
Is your Handset gets restarted automatically only if its connected with your OVi Suite?
If yes, Please provide your Mobile details (*#0000#) and your PC details.
Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...
Also are you trying to connect your handset thru' cable or thru' bluetooth.
Regards,
Diwa

N95 8GB: Ovi Suite hosing/truncating Outlook Conta...

I am very angry at the moment. I have realised that Ovi Suite has hosed my Outlook data and I have already spent a whole day (and probably many more to come) trying to recover the data.
These are the problems:
Outlook Calendar Note fields get truncated, not consistently that I could find either (e.g. at a certain character length). It did seem to have a problem with any linked/shortcut attachments in there though (but there were very few of them). I wouldn't mind if this was just on the phone but it has screwed up this data IN OUTLOOK, the MASTER COPY!!
Ditto with Calendar items and Task items too.
For recurring Calendar and Task items, it also seems to spawn individual items for what would be each occurrence (and synchs all these back to Outlook too). I haven't had the nerve to check yet whether it actually deletes the original occurrences too.
As many people have said, it obviously appears that Nokia are rushing out, untested, sub-standard software that isn't even building on previous builds. My old NSeries PC Suite had LifeBlog and everything and worked absolutely fine. What was key to me in NSeries PC Suite was that there was a dedicated setting to say which end was the master and/or the direction of the Synch (I can't remember now). For me, I just said NEVER synch back to Outlook. Synch from Outlook to the phone, no problem, but NOT the other way.
Why did I allow the upgrade to Ovi Suite? Well, that was inadvertant. I upgraded from XP to Windows 7x64 and so had to reinstall all my apps...and got lumbered with Ovi Suite. It initially looked OK but I have since found these rather major flaws. I don't give a hoot about Ovi not working perfectly but I would at least expect that it did not royally screw up another app's data (aka Outlook). No problem with it screwing up its own data as my Nokia data is (ideally) a slave from data from my PC...but now my Outlook looks like it has been subject to a revolution.
I have also searched online for a version of my NSeries PC Suite that I could download as my original CD version was from 2008 and auto-looks up online for updates...and just finds Ovi Suite!!
So, I think I know the answer to this, but has anyone else found the same problems and, ideally a solution? Ideally, apart from the solution to just use bog-standard PC Suite, I would like to get the latest version of NSeries PC Suite that was the current release just before Ovi came out...or to get Ovi to only synch the one way.
I would tell you what the firmware version on my N95 8GB was but I am loathe to hook it up again (even though I have turned all synch off). I think it was 20.[something].
This is my Ovi setup:
Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1.0.87
Nokia Photos 1.0.239.0
PC Connectivity Solution 10.5.1.0
Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.27.0
Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2009.46.1.60264
Maps Service API 3.0.38.0
Nokia mPlatform 2.6.86
Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.1.0.80

Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Edition
Language: English
Detected internet browsers:

- Mozilla Firefox 3.6
Detected Bluetooth stacks:
- Microsoft (Version: 6.1.7600, Build: 16385)
As a final note, I have been using Nokia since 1998 or so but this has left such a nasty taste in my mouth that, yes, I am almost certain to abscond to App*e (even though there are similar but far less serious problems with their synch software).
I really hate to do this as I have managed to work around all the Nokia software problems to date without much fuss. Most, of course, DESPITE Nokia, but this (one fistful of hair) did this camel's back break.

After update N95 8gb i got big problems.

I make a backup of all but not the 8gb-memory, and restured all after upate, and everyting seems to work fine.
First problem; i see now i have no 3g 3 (no connection) competely dead, i can not use the phone to communicate.
Strange everything work fine after update yesterday and this morning, something happen when it was in the locker at work.
And now i can't use Maploader, it say i have no memorycard, i understand that problem, i delete the whole Cities-folder this morning, because i dont need Nokia GPS-program Wayfinder anymoore, i choose Nav4all instead, i try the maploader only to for testing, i don't want to download any maps.
I test maploader now only bacause my phone is completely dead in communication, try to find out why.
I check in Nokia Nseries PC Suit everything on PC & mobil are the latest update.
I have another mobile SE M600i with 3g 3-cashcard, i by that cashcard only to enable the phone to start, not for communication, that mobile have full 3g (and probably work fine).
Was it the thing that i delete the Cities-map, no it can't be, because i use the N95 8gb and it work fine after that.
after work i even have a missed call on that mobile, but i can't call back, it's dead in communication now.
Strange things happens now.

Is your phone in another language? You should normally see 2 or 3 options.
1. Dual Mode
2. UMTS
3. GSM
Maybe you could try reseting the phone if nothing else works.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
Try these
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
*#7370# - Reformat your phone

N95 8GB: Problem on deleting video file

Is there any body experienced this problem. When I'm trying to delete a file from Video Centre > My videos directory, I'm receiving this error... "Unable to delete. File video.mp4 is open."
Do you have resolution for this? Tnx in advance.

I also tried to reset the phone to its factory settings but still video file was there.
I think this is a bug. Pls advice. Tnx in advance.

Nokia N95 8gb latest firmware update 21/02/13

Hi, I have had a problem whilst updating my N95 8gb and now it appears, I think, that the firmware version I have is an older one than I had previously, but there isn't anything newer showing as availaable. I have 35,0.001. I am sure that the last time I had a problem, after it was "flashed", the firmware I had installed by the shop was this and then when I got home and went to restore my files, there was a new update available on line. The rreason I say this is that the icons and colours etc are like the version installed by the shop, about 1 year ago and when I updated the software everything was different. If what I am saying is correct, does anyone know if this newer firmware update has now been withdrawn or can anyone throw any light on the subject as I am a little confused! Thanks

If your N95 8GB is RM-320 the last available firmware for all product codes is v35.0.001. Using restore via Nokia Suite can only reset your individual personalisation settings.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
