Comes with Music and Mac

My daughter wanted to get 5130 beacuse of the CWM and I was a bit suspicious about that as we are Mac users. Unfortunately my worst fears came true. Totally horrendeous experience with the phone and now we are seriously thinking of returning the freaking phone.
I know that Nokia and Apple are not the best mates but "COME ON!"
a) No Nokia Ovi Suite for Mac - some Nokia guy was explaining in some article in financial mag that "We are working on Mac applicaction but we don't know when that will be available" - that was dated OCTOBER 2009. Pretty efficient coding I would say.
b) You are supposed to be able to do the CWM registration with your mobile. Result -> Nokia site informs that "Pardon Interruption" - we are working on this problem. See the blog to see how we are proceeding". Last entry in that blog is April 2010. Pretty efficient servicing.
c) We are supposed to be able to enter the CWM with the broser but we need the PIN-code which we should be able to get from the above mentioned service (which is under repair - since April 2010).
I even had a thought of making a YouTube commmercial about this but I suppose it doesn't change anything - why bother.
I used to support Nokia mostly because it is a Finnish company (and yes, I am Finn) but after this experience I am deeply convinced that Nokia is sinking really fast. This will definitely be the last Nokia phone I will ever buy. You guys at Nokia really should look at how to provide "SERVICES" and stop focusing on technical superiority (of which I am not sure you are doing so well anymore).
If you are a Mac user I definitely do not recommend to buy any Nokia products. You are likely to sink into a despair.

Comes With Music and (Finnish) Music Store

I have a Nokia N97 mini Comes With Music. There was an upgrade in Finnish Music Store in yesterday (09.09.2010). After that, I can not choose free downloads anymore. Somehow the "Comes With Music" button has disappeared, and every mp3 has a price. I tried to re-join to Ovi Music Unlimited but the client replies that I already have the Comes With Music rights. Any suggestions?

I have had this exact same problem since mid-August some time. Been in contact with the Swedish Nokia Care people and they basically escalated it to some technicians in India. Still waiting for some form of response from them.
Also, can you transfer songs from OVI Music (the software I mean) to your phone? Because I can't do that either (I'm guessing because it requires that I access my account and get the DRM license - but like you pointed out, every mp3 has a price and there are no re-downloads available in my account anymore).
This is extremely frustrating. Sometime in June or July was the last time I could transfer songs from my computer to the phone (well, stuff I've ripped from my own CDs work fine of course, as well as songs that I've had on my phone prior to the CMW-MU switch).

Comes with Music - Expired 3 days into 365 days

We received a X6 32 with 1 year free Comes with Music
On going back into the Music store it asked me to register the PIN again, only to be told that although I have 362 days left, the PIN is not longer valid
I fear this could have come about from us putting another SIM card in the phone.
Could this be the reason, and what is the solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I registered when it had the other sim in.
Problem was the sim (new sim) with new phone took so long to be activated, (took 5 days !!) that I tried my sim from my Blackberry (the X6 is my wifes) to see if the actualy phone worked. During that time while I had my sim in her phone, I tested "Comes with Music" and downloaded a few songs (successfully)
When her sim eventually came active, we tried downloading songs again, and was then asked to register again. And then encountered the problem.

Comes With Music / Nokia 5800 problems downloading...

I've just got a new 5800 with Comes With Music and I'm having lots of problems! Hopefully you can help?!
Problem 1 - the main problem! Downloads don't add to phone's music library
The main problem is with downloading songs directly using my phone. Songs I download (using the mobile, not the PC) don't get added to my music library, and refreshing the music library dowsn't help. If I go to the music store, select 'options' and 'downloads' I can see a list of all the songs I've downloaded. If I select 'open' I can play the songs (one at a time), but they don't get added to the music library. If I press 'delete', I'm told 'File not found'. When I connect to my PC, I can't see these songs using the Nokia Music software, so can't transfer them to the PC. All very strange. Any ideas for how I can get these songs to add to the library?
Problem 2 - Nokia Music software
This is just irritating rather than anything else. When I plug my phone to my PC and use Nokia Music, the little phone icon has the caption 'Nokia N95'. But the phone I've connected is a 5800! My old phone was an N95...
At first this meant I couldn't sign up to CWM using my pin, because I was told it isn't compatible with this phone. So I had to sign up using the phone rather than the PC, and then use the log-in details on the PC to access music. This has worked and means I can download songs to my PC and transfer them to my phone, but it was a pain to get there.
Problem 3: Nokia Music website doesn't work
To add insult to injury, when I look for some help on the nokiamusic.co.uk website I'm told I need a new flash player. So I download the new flash playe, and I'm still told I need a new flash player. Brilliant. Incidentally, at the bottom of the page it says"Click here if you're quite sure to have Flash Player installed" which is gramatically a lot of nonsense.
I've always got on well with Nokia, but frankly I've had a nightmare week trying to get this new phone up and running and I'm very disappointed with them. The help-line isn't much use either. Anyway, any help on the above would be really greatfully received.

Hi!
For your first problem, are you accessing Nokia Music Store on your mobile through the webbrowser or via the application in Music Menu? If you are using the web browser, try using the application.
If you are using the application already, have you tried with different access points? (i.e. WLAN, different operator interet access points) Also make sure that you have a memorycard in your phone which is compatible with the device, might be worth trying to re-format it and then try again?
For your third problem, have you tried to access nokia music store through Nokia Music program on your PC? (Click on Store tab). And which browser are you currenlty using to access it?
Cheers,
elin

Keeping and using the comes with music license onc...

if i buy a comes with music phone, but the online service isn't yet available to my country, can i keep the license and use it once the service is available to my country?
Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

Hi,
Most of the time, the reason behind this issue is that a user has 2 services subscribed into, a Comes With Music service and a Nokia Music Store Service. If you sign up and you are being charged, that indicates that you are on the Nokia Music Store.
The best way to make sure that you are logging in to the correct service, make sure to click on the Comes With Music button and then click sign in. If it so happens that after doing so, you are still being charged, it could be that the username and password for your Comes With Music account is different.
You can ask Nokia Careline to assist you in retreiving these information. You would then receive it thru email with the correct username and the temporary password. The information you need to provide the representative for them to be able to pull up your account detail are:
*IMEI
*E-mail address
*Mobile Number
Hope this helps.

NOKIA X6 16GB AND COME WITH MUSIC PIN

Recently I purchased a Nokia X6 16 GB phone from SLOT SYSTEMS, Lagos Nigeria but my device does not have a come with music activation PIN and the dealer told me the model does not come with such facility. Is this correct or I have been cheated. What are the options available to me to get this PIN?

Does it say come with music on the box?
If it didn't say it on the box then you have the more common (and lower priced) standard X6 sales package. It does not come with free music and the service cannot be added to it.
If it did say it then you should have got the pin and you'll need to complain to the dealer again. If they won't help you complain to nokia care (if they operate in your county) or seek legal advice. Also keep in mind that your phone may have been imported from another country so CwM may not actually be available in your country.

Does mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can i purchase online?

oes mac book pro come with keynote and pages or doi have to purchase them seperately; can I purchase online? My son has an assignment due tomooorow they use macs at school and we assumed he could just finish it at home and..no Keynote!

Mac don't come with iWork installed unless you configure it while buying your Mac online.
However, iWork can be purchased at the App Store. You can buy the apps individualy (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) too.

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
Jamie

Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

Comes With Music - Doesn't Work

Can anyone tell me how I can actually use the service I have paid for? Every time I try to join up, the Nokia Music Store application crashes. If I try and sign in to the Nokia Music Store with the phone connected, it crashes. The PC suite works fine by the way and the Music Store works fine without the phone connected as I paid for a track to make sure it worked.
I have a 5310 and Windows Vista with the latest version of the Music Store software and have followed the instructions to the letter over and over.
Apparantly I can sign up from my device only there is no Music Store application on my phone. I have been through the help and support over and over again and have been through every menu and option on the phone but what I have on my phone is not what the support pages show.
And yes, the phone was bought specifically as part of a Comes With Music package. So all-in-all I am not impressed and unless I can get a solution within the next 2 days the phone will be going back for a full refund as I have not received the product, or the service, that I have paid for.

Comes With Music - "Unable to acquire license" err...

I have a N97 with Comes With Music. Since the past week, I have been unable to download tracks from the Music Store. I log in to my CWM account as usual, but everytime i click on the download button after selecting a track, it just gives me the error message "Unable to acquire license".
Anyone else experience this problem? How do I fix this?

Can anyone help please. I have a new nokia 5310 CWM but I can't xfer my music off my laptop onto it. I lost all my original downloads cos my original CWM phone broke.

Provided that your new device is a Comes With Music-compatible device, you can have your account transferred to the new device, you need to contact your local Nokia Care helpline and ask for the registered device to be changed. You will need to provide your music store username, the old IMEI number and the new IMEI number.

Comes With Music membership extension

I have been a satisfied (most of the time) subscriber to Comes With Music membership (UK) since 26 Ocbober 1969. On 26 September 2010 I got an e-mail from "The Comes With Music team" ([email protected]) which I have pasted below.

Hi tonyarro,
Your Comes With Music membership is about to end on 26/10/2010. To continue getting millions of free tracks from Nokia Music Store, you just need to renew your membership by buying a new Comes With Music edition mobile. There's no need to wait - when you renew, your new membership period is added onto the time you've got left on your current membership. Click here to renew now.
What's more, there are exclusive offers on new Comes With Music edition mobiles, just for members. Take a look at all the latest deals here.
Remember, even if you don't renew, you keep all the music you've downloaded so far and can continue playing it on your registered Comes With Music mobile and PC. But after 26/10/2010 you'll have to pay for any new music you download. So don't miss out on all the new releases or classics from the massive Nokia Music Store catalogue - renew today!
All the best,
The Comes With Music team

So I "needed" to buy a new mobile. The "exclusive offers" were two choices, a 5800 at UK Pounds 249 or a N97 mini at UK Pounds 409. I already use a 5800 and the N97 costs more than I care to pay for a 'phone.
By accident, I discovered that T-mobile UK are currently selling a PAYG 5230 Navi CWM at UK Pounds 99.99. Quite a bargain, so I bought one.
Now I am going round in circles on the Nokia/Ovi websites and in Nokia Ovi Player on my PC trying to enter the activation pin. All the instructions no longer work with the current Player. The only working option is to create a new account and allow my present account to expire. I am reluctant to do this because it seems likely that I will also have to buy a new PC if I want to keep and play the music files that I have already downloaded (only 61.2GB).
In the process of going round in circles I discovered a hidden option in the Nokia Ovi Player menu - Account/Music Account/Extend. I could have bought a 12 month extension to my existing membership for only £34.99! I didn't "need" to buy a new mobile at all! No wonder the "Comes with Music team" don't have a return e-mail address if they just exist to drive sales by telling lies!
Anyway, I already have the new mobile and the CWM activation PIN. I realise that many forum members have more desparate problems than mine, but can someone on the staff please advise me how to extend my existing membership account using the PIN and new 'phone that I have already paid for?
Tony.

Sorry, I got it slightly wrong, it's £33.99, not £34.99. The whereabouts are in my previous posting. To repeat, within Nokia Ovi Player, on the top line click on account, then music account, then on the Extend green button and the message below appears. This might only appear when your subscription is due to expire within one month or has expired less than one month ago. This is obviously from the UK music store, (GB pounds) I don't know whether it is available in other Nokia territories. I haven't tried it - I found it too late. I now have a 'phone that I didn't really want and no access to transfer my existing music collection back and forward to my old 'phone or my new 'phone. This is by following the advice of the 'Nokia music team'. New 'phone = new account = new computer.
Extend your subscription
You can buy an extension here
£3.50 1 months for £3.50
£9.99 3 months for £9.99

Poor usability with music and photos in X6

Hi!
I would like to highlight few major usability issues with my X6, whichfor I'm not so happy user:
Music:
All music is stored in phone in one big bucket. This is not issue when you want to browse or play the music but this is issue when you would like to change ringtone. What user will get is huge list of filenames, possible thousands of files where all the ringtones and music are "nicely" mixed in single list! This makes nearly impossible to change ringtones because who would like to browse a long list to select a ringtone.
This is also problem because comes with music files can't be used as ringtones but those are still existing in the list.
Photos:
Same problem than with music files. All photos are stored in one big bucket wihtout ability to easily put them in albums.
If you want to move photos to folders or send them by email you will have huge task. In every photo you need to select it, click Options, click sub menu and then click Select. Four clicks to select one photo. Please, think about repeating this 20 times.
Ovi services:
Where are public APIs to make own application work with OVI? Calendar sharing? Contact sharing?
You could make this much much better way

I couldn't agree more This is the only problem I have with this phone, wonder if they will resolve with an update?
