Broken NBU file from OVI Suite

dear all
i backed up my nokia N95 with nokia ovi suite , result is a file with NBU extension about 120 MB. after i cleared all data on my phone, ovi failed to read the file. i tested other program for openeing it, but all not answered, please help...

Which other programme you tried ? Did you try NBUExplorer ?
..and for Nokia Suite to display the data you need to SYNC them . Back-up data will not get displayed in the Nokia suite, but will get stored in the .nbu file. You can use the RESTORE function in the Nokia Suite after connecting the phone to PC and all the data will be restored in the phone ...
BTW, hope you are using the latest version of Nokia Suite

How do you export messages from Ovi Suite?

As the title says, how do you export messages from Ovi Suite?
I know how to export messages from Nokia PC Suite, but it doesn't seem to be possible in the new Nokia Ovi Suite.
Here is how I would do it in the Nokia PC Suite.
1. I click the Messages icon to open Nokia Communication Center.
2. I click on the Messages option on the left pane to view only messages.
3. In the main window I mark the messages I want to export.
4. Then I go to File menu and chose Export.
5. Choose destination folder and I'm all set to export my messages from my Nokia.
I can chose between the formats CSV and VMG (vMessage) for export. If more than one message is marked only the CSV format is available. But what you can do to export several messages in the VMG format is to mark them all in the main window and press CTRL+C or right click and chose Copy to copy them all to RAM memory. Then all you have to do is create an empty folder on the desktop and paste them in there by pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and chosing Paste.
That's all there is to it, using Nokia PC Suite. So how do you do this in Nokia Ovi Suite? You don't, right?
And this **bleep** Ovi Suite is supposed to replace PC Suite?
Thank God I won't be needing neither of them much longer. I am switching to Android and HTC. Good luck with Ovi, the Ovi Player, the Ovi Suite, the PC Suite, the Symbian, the S60, the Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition), the Symbian^3, the Symbian^4 and what not.

I believe OVI took a step in the right direction with this option. I also believe it was made available due to the fact that OVI Suite cannot take a huge number of messages altogether. This option was made available so that the messages could be backed up.
However, I'd like to suggest the following, if possible.
1. Make Nokia OVI Suite be able to handle a huge number of messages.
2. Have the option to export only selected messages.

N95 - restored .nbu file from another phone

Hello,
So I had the "bright" idea of using the "restore" function of the PC Suite using an .nbu file from another Nokia phone (my previous job mobile).
In my head this would work something like:
1. click restore using the .nbu from the other phone
2. all contacts/ sms's/ calendar entries will be added to the ones already into my N95
3. voila--> I have evertyhing in one phone.
What seems to have really happened, is that I now only have the contacts/ sms's/ calendar entries of that other job mobile, and all the stuff from my N95 has dissapeared...
I am kind of hoping that someone here can help me.
Is there any way to get my old contacts/ smss back?
Thank you!

Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forum...
AS you've mentioned that you could easily sync your Motorola with desktop then you should transfer all the contacts to Desktop email client. Now check this link to how to synchronize you BlackBerry with Desktop Manager

Moving photos from Ovi suite

Can someone please explain in simple terms how I can move all my photos from Ovi suite to a flash drive or direct to "My Pictures" on my computer?
If I simply uninstall Ovi suite, what will happen to the photos stored on it?

Hey,
Ppl who have already used Nokia Photos application might have came acrss this scenario. AFAIK this is how its supposed to wrk. Bcause earlier i used Nokia Photos.
The following is wht i thnk.
The photos that r syncd already with ur Nokia Ovi Suite, might be getting strd in some database, where whenver any new photos r gttng synchd, it wll compare this, if this has been synched earlier, if so, it will not sync those photos again. This may b designed to avoid duplicates and redundancy. This i faced earlier when i was using Nokia Lifeblog(PC application) and Nokia Photos. If u google, u may find similar issues in our discussion forum.

Nokia C3 software update failure from OVI suite

I was trying to update my Nokia C3 software from Nokia OVI Suite when it failed and has left my mobile in "test mode" rendering it non-usable at the present moment. Please help restore!

Sorry..but being an S40 device, you need to visit Nokia Care if the phone doesn't start after you remove the battery for a couple of minutes, insert it back and try switching ON ...

Can't copy music from Ovi suite to my C6

Hello ,
I got a problem with my C6 I downloaded Ovi suite and im trying to get some music on it . When I open the software the music shows up . Then when i want to movie it to my phone , it wont let me it says ''cannot copy music'' and even when i made a playlist it still says the same thing. I can't even synchronize my music because it says the same thing and then it says to re connect but when i do that the same thing happens .I can synchronize everything else but not music .
Is there any one that could help me ?
BTW. I can't connect to anything else because in my computer the folder wont show up. So Pc Suite is the only way I can connect my Nokia to my PC.
I use Vista Service Pack 2
Anyone ??

Simplest way is to connect in madd storage mode instead of pc suite mode via usb and drag and drop, the phone will show as an external hd in 'My Computer' simply open the drive and drag photos from computer to N8, drag and drop is by far the easiest and quickest way to transfer all media to a Symbian phone !

Unable to send texts from Ovi Suite

Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42 / Nokia N50 [all software marked as up to date]
The suite has been working well since initial download but in the past couple of days refuses to send texts while connected to the phone.
The msge is transferred to the phone and stays in the outbox and after some tries, is marked as failed.
If I then disconnect the phone from the laptop, the message sends successfully.
Some error messages on phone have included, "out of memory - close applications" which is rubbish as nothing was open.
Any and all help much appreciated.

Could you please provide complete information about your phone and pc?

OVI Suite file association

I've installed Ovi Suite on win 7 64 bit.
First of all, ovi doesn't start wehn I connect my N95 8GB. I didn't touch the default setting to it is set to start when a phone is detected.
Once I start OVI Suite manually it recognizes my N95 8GB and everything seems to work fine.
However, when I try to run a .sis file, windows 7 doesn't associate this file with Ovi. when I try to set the file association manually, Ovi isn't an option amongs the available applications.
I've now installed PC Suite and it is now associated with .sis files.
I've then unistalled and reinstalled Ovi Suite, but it is still not the application associated with .sis and is still not available wehn tyring to set the association manually.
It still doesn't open when I connct the N95 8GB either.
any idea?
Thanks,

Hi Zkrisher,
If you want to have OVi run automatically when you connect your mobile, you need to enable both the options under startup as marked in the attached screen-shot.
The first option will enable to run the OVi suite applcation during the PC startup.
The Second option will enable to bring the application to the front once a phone is connected, even if it is minimised to the notification area (Right handside bottom)
The Second option will not work if the application is not running already.
Also for running any .sis or .sisx files with OVi suite, you need to associate these files with OVi suite application.
This can be done in two ways.
1) Right click on any .sis file and select open with option. In the pop-up window select Nokia Ovi Suite. (If you dont find it either under Recommended programs or other programs, you can browse the same from the installed location and select it).
Make sure the option " Always use the selected program.... " is selected ( Screen-shot attached)
2) Start -> type Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocal with a program. Locate .sis and .sisx files and assiciate both to Nokia OVi Suite if it is not associated to OVi suite
Hope this will solve your issue

Diwa

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).
What's the law of the jungle?

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

Download and install Noki from here http://www.nokisoft.com/

N97 - Ovi Suite Connection Problem - Windows 7

Hi all.
I have N97, firmware version 20.0.019 (t mobile - **bleep** with the old firmware updates.... )
I am running windoze 7 with all updates etc.
I have the latest version of nokia Ovi Suite and the latest version of Nokia PC Suite.
I am reluctantly trying to get used to using ovi suite instead of PC ever since Nokia's update page seemed to suggest I should be using OVi suite with this phone.
Anyway bluetooth connection is working fine. I can do all syncs with everything on bluetooth.
USB connection is not, when the phone is connected, and I select PC Suite on the phone, the phone and PC then get stuck in a sort of loop where the PC is "installing drivers" and the phone keeps asking me to select PC Suite mode. Occasionally I get an error message saying I am stuck in file transfer mode.
I have also tried this after going into settings and setting USB connection mode to PC SUITE only, with Don't Ask selected.
This is profoundly frustrating and also renders the ability to update phone software totally useless because you cannot update via bluetooth, only USB connection.
I am getting mighty peeved off with Nokia's ability to get firmware, and software products right. Come on guys, hire some decent developers, and/or start responding to feedback from customers like me. (I'd happily beta test any software, I've done it before for an online game......!!!!)
I am considering selling my N97 online, and just buying an unlocked HTC HD2 after over a decade of using Nokia phones.
help!

Amazing that so many have responded to this post, and not one has come close to the right answer... I've had the same problem for a while, and at first I thought it was just my old XP notebook - which had more than one problem - or the general poor performance we've come to expect from the N97. I couldn't even sync on Ovi. But with my new Windows 7 notebook in hand, I was all excited to finally update the firmware on my phone - which had been stuck on v12 for a while. Imagine my surprise when I still had the same problems with my brand-new notebook. I started browsing around for more help than this thread, and found that Nokia has released a software update program seperate from Ovi Suite. Just google "Nokia Software Updater for Windows 7" or whatever version of windows you have, download & install. You might need to kill three "Nokia..." processes in the Task Manager to let it run, because it seems Ovi suite has these processes starting up with Windows. (Amazing when they program applications to do that without your permission!) Why on earth would Ovi Suite need to run three processes on my machine anyway, if I haven't even started up the program after reboot? But still, this program wouldn't connect to my N97 via USB. I clicked on the icon in the system tray showing the drivers installing after I plugged it in, and found the culprit: The installation of the driver for "MTP USB Device" failed. Googled that, and found that there are a lot of people having problems with that, from cameras to cellphones to mp3 players. Tried a few suggestions I found, and ended up having to uninstall all my (brand new?) USB controllers (under "Device Manager") and deactivate Windows Media Player from "Windows Features", reboot, then re-activate Windows Media Player - something to do with MTP Devices getting their drivers from Windows Media Player. Not sure if it was one or both of these fixes, but then Nokia Software Updater connected to my N97 with no problem. Installed the software update, and now all is good again. Incidentally, after the software update was complete, a whole bunch of different drivers were installed when I connected the USB... the main one changed from "Nokia ... Parent ..." something to "Nokia... Flashing..." something - and Ovi Suite connects fine now as well! Good luck to everyone who had this problem - it's been fun.

Ovi Suite SMS to Contacts and confusion about numb...

Hi,
I'm really confused here...
I have a E72 which I sync with a exchange server (Contacts, calendar and mail).
The sync part seems to work fine.
However, I would also like to sync Notes and have the ability to SMS from my computer. That's where I thought Ovi Suite came into the picture but I'm having some problems:
When sending SMS from Ovi Suite: I enter name of the contact the name appears with a preview of the phone number in the format "070-783XXXX", when I try to send it says invalid format so I need to enter the number manually in the format "070783XXXX" to be able to send the SMS
When I update a contact in Outlook, the contact is updated in phone, but not in Ovi Suite
When I use outlook number formats (specifying country, area code etc) the number appears as "+46 (070) 783XXXX", but then number recognition doesn't seem to work on incoming calls.
What I want to accomplish and wonder if it is at all possible is:
Manage my contacts, calendar and mail in Outlook. Sync through MfE
Reach my contacts from Ovi Suite to be able to send SMS to them
Use Ovi Suite to manage Map files, Music, and other phone files.
Use Ovi Suite to Sync Notes from Outlook.
I'm I on the right track here? Any suggestions for a better way of managing contacts and having the functionality I've described?
Solved!
