Backup OVI Suite contents for Formating the Laptop...

I need to format my Laptop n so i need to take backup of alll my OVI Suite contents from my laptop so that later i can use the same files,
Would it be "C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite"
or is it
"C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase"
Also whats the difference between these 2 folder files as 1 says "MDataStore.db3" & other has sepearte folders like messages, contacts, photos etc.

I have to say that this is something that I have never done myself, so I'm not 100% sure that it will work. There are atleats two key files that you need. One is this MDataStore.db3 that you have already found. Other one is msg_dp.sqlite that is in ..Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite\Messages\Database folder.
Maybe you should take both of those folders that you are proposing (all files from there), just to be sure that you don't miss anything.
As an extra safety you can export you messages from Messages File menu and Sync your contacts to your phone (you can also create vcf files from your contacts by dragging them to some folder, but that is laborious, since you have to do it one-by-one)

    hey i had my iphone synced to my laptop then i formated the laptop , now i cant sync it back . please helppp

    What do you mean you can't sync it back?
    Media syncs one way. Computer>Phone, with the exception of purchased items.
    File>Transfer purchases in iTunes. You're going to have to set it up as a new device then sync everything back from your iTunes library.  You did backup your laptop before you formatted it, right?

  • E71 + Ovi Suite: internet connection through the P...

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble finding an answer to the following question, because everyone seems to want the opposite.
    How do I let my E71, connected with a data cable to a Win XP SP2 PC, use the PC's internet (LAN) connection to reach internet?
    Background: I do not have/want a data subscription. Most of the time I'm either at home where I have Wifi, or at the office where we have a 1 Gbps internet connection, but no WiFi. I'd like to use the office's connection, e.g. to download content and software ugrades.
    I believe this used to work flawlessly with PC Suite, and the OS on the PC hasn't changed since, so it must be something in Ovi Suite that's in the way...
    Any ideas? Cheers.

    I can answer you partially:
    1.I think y can use phone as a modem to connect to the internet.
    Make sure y have latest pc suit.
    When yr phone connected via usb cable ,open yr pc suit and select connect.
    Under connect you should first go to settings and select yr network provider listed on it.
    If yr N P is listed there y can be able to to connect to internet usin' yr phone as a modem.
    But it cuts bill too much.

  • Ovi suite always connects thru the mobile, not dir...

    I am trying to update the software in my n8-00 to fix a connection problem. (so, I can't connect to internet at this stage thru my mobile) I installed the ovi suite and tried to update it (as mentioned in nokia site as an alternative to updating the nokia software using mobile phone itself) . Ovi suite doesn't connect to internet if the mobile is not connected. when the mobile is connected, it alsways connects thru the mobile. I want to update the ovi suite via the internet connection I already have in my laptop, which is thru the wireless lan. Can some body help me?

    If what you mean by 'fix a connection problem' is related to the internet on your mobile..call your operator and request them to send Aceess Points settings.. First delete all the existing Access points from the phone... and when the settings are received ( normally thru' SMS).. open the message and select 'SAVE'... Now see if your connection problem is resolved or not..( without any software update...)
    If not then again delete all the Access Points.. Now try the Software update thru' OVI suite.. Since the settings are deleted.. OVI Suite should use the Internet from the Laptop... Once done.. again open the SMS and select 'SAVE' to set the Access Points... 

  • Sql statement substituion - any special rules for formatting the query?

    Hey,
    I was wondering - are there any special rules for formatting the query that is to be substituted?
    I am asking, as somehow I am unable to make the DSP substitute my query. I took the basesql from the server console (to make sure that I have the correct version), configured a query substitution, and well, nothing happens.
    I've tried to substitute it with a modified version of the original query (where NVL(,0) is changed to NVL(,-9999)), then also with select * from dual (which I hope would generate some error), but DSP is ignoring everything...
    The query is rather big (400 lines), so maybe I need to format it somehow? I've noticed that in the docs (http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs25/admin/server.html#wp1049919) that the query used in the example has all leading spaces removed. I've tried that, but DSP is still not doing any substitution...
    Any suggestions welcomed...
    Thanks,
    Leszek

    Michael,
    I am doing everything as in edocs, retrieving from logs the basesql (so with place holders). I've removed all new lines (so the query is now in a single line) and all excessive blanks (so all double/more blanks replaced with a single blank). Still the DSP is like ignoring the substitution. I've tried to do it even with a simple query, like:
    SELECT t4."PRODUCT_ID" AS c1, t4."PRODUCT_NAME" AS c2 FROM {DB}.{SELECTION} t1 JOIN {DB}.{CUSTOMER_FACT} t2 ON (t1."VAL" = t2."CUSTOMER_ID") JOIN {DB}.{CUSTOMER} t3 ON (t3."CUSTOMER_ID" = t2."CUSTOMER_ID") JOIN {DB}.{PRODUCT} t4 ON (t4."PRODUCT_ID" = t3."PRODUCT_ID") WHERE ((? = t1."SESSN_ID") AND (t1."NAME" = 'CUSTOMER_ID') AND (t3."DELET_DATE" IS NULL) AND (t3."PRODUCT_TYPE" = 11))
    am I missing something here? do I need to remove/add something , to make it work?
    I've tried removing blanks around = signs (which from the DSP pov results in a different query), sitll with no results.

  • Does OVI suite alert for the new incoming calls?

    I know it alerts for the new incoming SMS, but not for calls. Am I right?
    But why, the PC suite do it and this is important feature for me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Same problem for me!!
    I allways used an E52 with PC-Suite which showed me the incomming call notifications on my laptop.
    Now with a new E6, I have to use OVI and there are no notifications anymore.Which is really annoying in a bussy office environment!
    So please provide us with a solution, because I think you are losing a (unique selling point here).

  • OVI Suite is not doing the updates for my N97

    I have N97 and using OVI Suite, and it's doing everything it does except updating both itself and my mobile N97.
    When I go to the update page, it just keep saying "Checking for updates" for hours and hours. I tried to give it some time thinking it does need a lot of time to check, but waiting for more than 12 hours is just redicilious. I kept it over night and slept and when i came back it was still checking!!
    So anyone knows whats wrong with it ?

    Hi, I've had this problem acouple of times and not really found a solution. Has worked a couple of times when deleted all nokia software from computer, ran nokia pc cleaner and re-installed , with firewall turned off. But has re-occurred again, same with NSU, get an error message which is something to do with open ports, but I'm not technical enough to sort ! I would welcome a solution also.

  • Ovi Suite folder naming format on photo sync?

    When I want to sync my photos on my n900 onto my PC, it now dumps everything taken within the same month into the same folder.
    How do I change the folder naming convention/format, for example if I want everything taken today to be in its own folder as opposed to being mixed in with photos taken last week?
    This is a problem now because I use my N900 for photo taking a lot and the folder naming format does not match what I have always used in the past and continue to use with my regular digital camera.
    This was always an option in PC Suite, but doesn't appear to be an option in Ovi Suite, unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

    The problem is that it's creating totally new folder directories and the naming format of the folder is not the way I have all my other photos organized. 
    My other photos are arranged in folders by the day they were taken. Ovi Suite creates one new folder for each month and then drops everything from that month into that folder.
    For example:
    My Pictures/2010_07_19 -- this is the format I have all of my other photos from other cameras created when I transfer photos from them to my computer.
    My Pictures/N900/2010-07 -- this is the format that Nokia Ovi Suite is creating for me and there's no way that I see that I'm able to change the naming convention to match what the rest of all my photos are. Everything taken this month would drop into that same folder, which is too difficult to keep organized.
    Am I just missing something as to how I can change the naming convention of the folder when syncing via Ovi Suite?

  • Ovi suite crashes when opening the "Photos" Panel

    Whenever i try to open the "Photos" Panel Ovi Suite crashes. I'm thinking it may have to do with it trying to index all of my videos, so i removed the "My Videos" folder from the watchlist, but it still crashes. I think maybe i need to delete it's cache, but have no idea how.

    not 100% fix, but I find it works on first connection upon launching the intial Ovi suite, and then if I disconnect I get the same error.
    Closing/re-opening the Suite sometimes fixes it.
    OR another temporarary fix would be to actually connect for a few seconds to the internet (effectively using the N8 as a modem) and then stop the modem (ie, still USB connected).. it seems to fix it occasionally.

  • Need help - Ovi Suite keep downloading at the bac...

    I noticed when  the options -> General -> Automatically download software update is clicked, I can see from the download statistics report shown data being download.  when I checked on my telco broadband data usage report that I've downloaded 3GB of data in one day!  I use  TCPIP view utility to view Nokiaovisuite.exe keep receiving data at the background.  
    When I deselect the automatically download the receiving data stops.  I've no clue why Ovi suite behave like this and it seems never stop.
    regards,

    Whenever there is new version of Ovi Suite, it will download that for you. But that you should be only within 100 MB... It should defnitely not be from ovi suite, but has to be some other software. Atleast i dont have that much download from Ovi suite..
    Maybe you can look for antivirus softwares, which dowload updates in the background.

  • Ovi Suite: Managing albums on the phone

    Hi all,
    Anyone out there know if there's a way to manage your (picture) albums on the phone via Ovi Suite?  My main goal is to get folders/albums that I already have on my computer onto my phone into an album/folder with the same name (e.g. 2010 Birthday Party).
    The albums can be created on Ovi Suite, but I don't see any way to transfer them to the phone.  (I can send all the individual pictures to the phone, but then I'll be stuck w/100s of pictures and no way to organize them w/o going to each one manually and assigning it to an album created on the phone).
    Any ideas guys?  If there's even a way to do it in Explorer I'd be open to that too 
    Thank you!
    Phone: Nokia C5-00
    Software Version: 032.010

    Hi kajo1190,
     Could you please tell what phone model you are using?
     What is the operating system you are using?
     What phone model you have?
     How do you connect to internet, using Modem or DSL or proxy network?
     If you are behind proxy network please check the internet explorer settings, If you are able to browse using those proxy network settings, then your Nokia Suite should also connect to internet without any problems.
     You could also send us your error report, along with the log files from your PC using this link http://tiny.cc/ja40z , The instructions for getting the log files will appear when you choose option 12 b) in this link.
    Thanks,
