Get Contacts to OVI suite

I have taken all my contacts as .vcf files from my old phone to my computer.
Now I want to put them to my new X6 via OVI suite or some other way.
Can someone tell me how to add all the .vcf files to OVI suite or directly to phone?
Thank you.

great call farby!
unless you have a mac (tobhathiyaj), your pc will have at least an outlook express or windows contacts.
use the pc suite to do this....www.nokia.com/pcsuite or farby's link...

E52- how to import contacts to ovi suit - from csv...

hi,
for E52 mobile - how to import contacts to ovi suit - from csv , excel files, can any one please?

I used the program MyphoneExplorer to back up the ocntacts from my old S-E phone (or perhaps it was S-E's own PC Companion. Anyway, when pasting from that program I got a bunch of vcf files. I dropped and dragged these into Nokia PC-Suite and it workd very well.
To add a little gripe about these "so called2 user friendly PC-suite programs - THEY ARE NOT. Are you listening Nokia?
I want to selectively import and export every single bit and byte from my phone in and out to my PC. I want to modyfy the data and put it back up again into the phone. Why is that supposed to be made so difficult.
Spend less time making the finsishing touches on you icon and color gradient and put in more FUNCTION. Being locked up into one phone brand, just makes you agry - and you always find around the limitations.
Interestingl, try to search your manual for "Import". NOTHING comes up concerning contacts. But synchonizing sigh - if you have nothing to synchronize - because everything is on the PC - does not do you much good does it?

Synchronzing Outlook contacts crashes OVI-Suite

One of our users has the following problem:
After using the Ovi-Suite without any problems, since a short period of time contacts are not synchronized. Starting the synchronization process ends in an app crash or some contacts are twice in Outlook. With PC Suite everything is fine. Reparing OVI does not help. What is the problem? How can it be solved?

hi, I have exactly the same problem.
I have a N86, and want to synchronise my contacts with Outlook, but the system does not update my contacts in Outlook if the information is in mobile(home) or mobile(business) fields.
But the informaiton for the contacts is visible through Ovi suite.
It seems as if the fields which are not pre-defined in Outlook don't get synchronized with Outlook, and this is causing serious trouble as information is getting lost...
great user of Nokia and nokia only from the time of mobile era started in India. The last phone that i used, which can sync with my outlook through pc suite was N86. But after i switched to N8 and C7, the OVI suite is the only back up mode and this can't be sync with my outlook in windows office. So, what to do ?? Can anyone help.

N97: Can't sync contacts with Ovi Suite

Everytime my N97 is connected to my PC via Bluetooth or USB, everything is syncing fine, except for the contacts.
I already updated to the most recent Ovi Suite version, but it's still not working.
When trying a manual sync, by clicking on "sync contacts" on the ovi suite, I am getting an error message:
Sync cancelled
Could not continue syncing
Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again.
Any ideas?
Solved!

@amartyno,
Could you please try the following steps, hopefully that helps:
In fact the problem seems to be a windows 7 registry problem. In the end I found the solution here (on a post related to itunes - but if anyone interested follows the thread they'll see that moving to the latest version of itunes presents exactly the same hang as trying to intall OVI - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/f4dd5033-9bcb-4788-b100-5e98bd80f...)
If you can't be bothered to follow the link/read the entire post - what you have to do is:
1) Open regedit and replace the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Key: RegistrySizeLimit
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)
2) Reboot

Getting contact from PC Suite

Hi, can anyone help me?
My mobile N6020 is broken down completly, it is impossible to fix it. Is it possible to display my contacts from PC Suite, when the mobile doesn´t work? PC Suite still requires connecting to the mobile, doesn´t want to work without the mobile but I´m sure the contacts are somewhere inside. It´t only my chance to save my address book builded for years.

If the phone is completely broken and does not start properly, then there is no way for PC Suite to connect, either.
It is often only after the first time that someone looses important data, when the person starts to making safe copies (backups) of the data. For example, if you had a PC Suite backup made, you could restore it to another phone now. Or even if you had synchronized the contacts with Outlook.
On the other hand, if on the 6020 you have your contacts stored on the SIM card, then you can take the SIM card and put it in another phone to get them "back".

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?

OVI Suite messes up contact when syncing my N8. Wh...

Tried this to confirm these problems:
1) Deleted all contacts in OVI Suite and on the phone.
2) Restored the contacts from OVI sync to be sure they are OK
3) Checked that standard values are set for phone, sms and e-mail
4) Synced with OVI suite, no contacts updated on phone, all updated in OVI Sync
5) Did another sync with OVI Suite straight at once.
Now these annoying problems has occured on the phone (and in OVI suite):
a) Standard settings have been lost for all other than phone. This is annoying becuase the phone will now ask when sending SMS if you want to use the phone number or the e-mail address :-(
b) Most of the contact have a "Note" added with the text "<< unnamed >>". This is annoying because this not is displayed next to the contacts picture instead of the name or address :-(
So WHY is OVI Suite removing the standard settings for messages?
And WHY is OCI Suite adding the "<< unnamed >>" note for most (but not all) contacts?
(tried to find some logic, but can't find any thing common about the contacts changed)
Lars-Erik Østerud - http://www.osterud.name/nokia.html

For me even the regular sync gives lot of problems. I can't find the simplest setting of "One way Sync, i.e. only from Mobile to Ovi Suite". And that's what has been creating a problem for me.
Whenever I sync my contacts with Ovi using Ovi Suite many of my updates (which I'd made on the phone since last Sync) are lost.
This is quite irritating!
@Nokia: Please suggest any solution for this issue.

Nokia Ovi Suite - Problem linking phone 6700

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6700 slide. I am trying to manage my contacts through Ovi Suite.
During the "add a device" process the following happens:
Step 1 "Model" - I can complete
Step 2 "Details" - I can put in my "phone number & time zone" & then when I hit next it refuses to go anywhere. Just sits there.
Step 3 "Sync instructions" - can't get there at all
Please help.
Thank you,

I am having exactly the same problem , it sucks. Also if i get a message from someone and I add them to contacts , their name doesnt come up when they call or message me again , i am not impressed

Syncing Nokia X-6 via Ovi Suite [2.x], to Outlook,...

Salutations,
I'm new here, so I hope that I'm in good section. I have following problem. My mum has nokia X-6 and I bought her Nokia Lumia 800 and Samsung Omnia 7. When I want to move my Nokia X-6 contacts to Nokia Lumia 800, or Samsung Omnia 7 I get following errors:
• I tried to export contacts to CSV via phone [X6], when imported I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
• I tried to export contacts via PC Suite [X6], when imported to Outlook, Windows Contacts or Gmail, I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
• I tried to export contacts via Nokia Ovi Suite [X6], when imported to Outlook, Windows Contacts or Gmail, I got contacts where 80% lack phone numbers
I tried to import contacts through Ovi suite directly, export to all forms of CSVs, and all syntaxes, I never succeeded.
Do You have any clue, how I might import nokia X6 contacts to Nokia Lumia 800 and Samsung Omnia 7?
Thank You for any reply,
Regards
Bryan

Hi Lexicanum,
Do you see all your contacts on CSV file when you export them?
If all the contacts are exported correctly to the CSV file, then it is upto the 3rd party software, how it treats the generated CSV file (It could be that the generated CSV file is not read correctly by the 3rd party software).
If not all the contacts are exported to CSV file by using Nokia Suite, then you can submit the error report using this link http://tiny.cc/ja40z
Thanks,

HELP! pc suite/ovi suite won't read sms on my 5800...

Hi all! I have a VERY BIG problem. I own a 5800, I have about 3000 sms on the memory card. I want to move them on my PC, so i can delete from my nokia. PROBLEM IS: neither pcsuite nor ovi suite (even 2.0) can access my sms. both software fail. here's what happens.
pc suite: i run nokia communication centre, then it starts checking messages on my cell. after few seconds, it says there are about 2500 messages, at this point i see the bargoing from 0 to 70% real fast, then when it reaches 100% it says there are only about 50 messages on my phone (basically, it only lists the MMS, totally ignores sms)
ovi suite: the first time i used it, i synced messages with my cell, and it only synced about 2200-2300 of them out of 3000. since then, every time i try to sync messages with it, it says that for some reason it cant' read the data from my phone OR that the usb connection doesn't work (i tried with bluetooth, also, and i get the same error, so its not the connection).
in other words... i can read the sms fine on my 5800, it says there are over 3000, but when i try to access them with a pc software, it doesn't work for some reason.
HERE'S WHAT I THINK MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. some time ago, using pc suite, i did a restore of a backup. during the restore, i got an error while it was restoring the sms. at that time, i didnt pay too much attention, since i noticed all the sms on my phone were ok, none was missing. but what I THINK happened is that since then the sms structure on my 5800 is screwed... and for some reason, my phone can read them fine, but pc softwares dont.
now my question is: WHAT TO DO? i dont want to lose all my sms... i NEED to copy them on my pc... then i can even format/reset my memory card, but i need to copy them first. any help? anything i could try? please help... thank you!

first of all, thank you for your reply!
no, very few of those 3000 sms are from operator/config messages and such... maybe 10 or 20...
i tried nokia pc photos some weeks ago... and it worked, infact i can still see the sms/photos saved on my pc from that day. if i try it now, tho, i get the same errors i get with pcsuite/ovi suite... sync fails and basically does nothing, doesnt update any new sms (last one appears to be of the end of april, which is the last time i had used nokia photo).
this seems to confirm my fear... for some reason, probably after that messed up restore i did, something in the sms structure on the memory card got messed, and now no software can read them properly, even the cell backup program. but for some reason, my nokia can read them fine, if i simply access the messages.
question now is... does nokia have a tool to fix cases like this? i find it ironic that my cell can see all the sms but none of the nokia programs can actually access them. thank you very much!

Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

Hi,
I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
I have successfully got ovi suite working.
For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
then i ran pc suite cleaner.
2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
now there should be nothing on the pc.
Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
Reboot pc
Then download ovi suite.
A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
It also works fine on my xp computer too.

C5-00 No connection with ovi suite possible

Since 4 weeks I attempt to connect my new purchased mobile with ovi suite. I tried every version to connect but without success of chance to get in to ovi suite. I have Vista SP2 and used last release ovi suite 3.0.0.290
Each time of several installations and new set up of my PC-system I get the message from ovi suite: No device connected.
Also I used the correct USB-cable 101 and cable driver which has been installed on my PC during installation of ovi suite. I set up my C5-00 device for connection USB-PC-Suite.
Does every body have a advise what is to do. Never I had such huge problems with a mobile software. I suppose finally there is a software problem within of ovi suit data.
Would highly appreciate to get advises from Nokia support or other members.

Franz
