N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
What do I do?
Regards,
Anders
By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

I don't know if that problem might be interconnected with the other in some way or not.
Kind regards,

Software Update doesn't find 10.5.7 Update

I have a 3-month old MacBook Pro and software update doesn't find the 10.5.7 update, About This Mac says my system is 10.5.6. I also have an orginal MacBook Pro running Leopard and this finds it.

Forget software update, it's better to update through combo (or directly downloaded from apple site) anyway.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1057comboupdate .html
Make sure to verify/repair the disk, and repair permissions from the OSX install disk Disk Utility before updating.
Also if you have Disk Warrior run that before and after install.
Lastly, most importantly...CLONE your drive before any install.
Use Superduper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.

N95 Nokia Software Updater can't find phone, but P...

Hi,
The Lastest version of Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone(connected via USB). But Nokia PC Suite connects to my phone. Very weird.
I'm running windows vista business, Dell Laptop.
I have checked(using product code:0548763), and my N95 Firmware can be upgraded to v12.#, currently firmware is v11.#
I have disabled my windows firewall, and unistalled my McAffee anti-virus.
I think the issue might be with vista, because i successfully upgraded my phone on windows XP from v10.# to v11.#
But then PC Suite shouldn't work, on vista? I tried adding NSU to data execution protection exclusion list.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Dasdk

i dont think the problem is with PC OS ..
i have xp and i cant upgrade my N 95 ..
it sometime shows Phone not recognized and sometime it sshows unable to retreive phone info....
this update thing sucks man !!

N95 : Nokia Software Updater can't find phone

Please help, my N95 has been nothing other than a source of misery since I got it. I'm trying to update the software in a hope that the phone will stop crashing on a regular basis, but NSU doesn't want anything to do with it.
I'm running Windows 2000 and I've used the Nokia site to get the latest version (1.3.85 en) of NSU. I've connected the phone to the computer, Windows detects the phone as expected, but NSU never does. After a long pause I get the extraordinarily useless message:
'Unable to find phone
'1 Please check your phone is switched on and connected to your PC and try locating the phone again
'2 Some phone models require that you select the correct connection type from the phone. In such a case, make sure that you have selected the default or PC Suite mode.
'If the problem persists it means Nokia Software Updater does not support your phone model.'
To answer 1 - the phone is on, connected and I've tried several times.
To answer 2 - I've tried all the modes supported by the N95 including PC Suite mode.
The problem persists, the Nokia site tells me that my phone is supported and that an update is available - so the last part is also wrong.
I've uninstalled NSU, restarted the machine and reinstalled - nothing.
Has anyone got any idea what could be wrong? I'm pretty much at breaking point with the N95 and this is doing nothing to improve my opinion of the machine. I want to like the N95, but it's making things hard. Taking it to a Nokia store is not an option, there are none in my area, there is no over-the-air option to do the update, so I *MUST* use NSU if I want a usable phone.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, but no luck so far.
My firewall is ZoneAlarm. I switched it off and tried again with the updater - no luck.
I then reinstalled Nokia PC Suite for the N95 *AND* Nokia Software Updater for the N95, restarted Windows (again disabling ZoneAlarm) and tried to reconnect the phone.
Nothing. PC Suite never finds the phone, NSU gives the same useless error message.
Windows DOES see the phone, if I click on the USB Connect/Disconnect icon in the system tray I see:
Nokia N95 USB Phone Parent
However, the little icon has a yellow warning exclamation mark on it which is usually a sign of trouble. Clicking [Properties] tells me:
Device type: Wireless Communication Devices
Manufacturer: Nokia
Location Nokia N95
Device status
This device cannot start
I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem.
I've tried using various cables, connecting directly to the computer rather than through a hub, USB 1 rather than USB 2, but still no luck.
Is it time to call an exorcist?
Mike.

Nokia Software updater is not recogonizing the new...

I can see so mant thread and discussion about the new firmware for nokia n95 8GB(RM-320), according to that the new firmware version is v35, but when i use my S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone).
Can any one help me, is this update is not yet release to India or any issues with updater???
Thanks in advance.

Firmware are given to public according to the location of each ones, i mean according to the country. Saying so if you are in Canada you might have a different firmware version with someone located in Hong Kong. Also your phone have a number inside that help the SW Updater undertake your location and that number inside your phone will not allow you to have another location updates unless you change that code, note that changing that code can also change the displayed languages on your phone all depending on which country code you put inside your phone, so if your S/W updater its showing the update version as V31(the same i have in my Smartphone) it mean that the latest software update for your phone according to the code inside your phone is still version V31; and the version 35 belong to some other countries. Now check again to find out what country can download the version 35, and if you satisfy with the languages provided by that firmware 35 find the nokia country code for your nokia and input it in your phone and finally run your software updater again.

HT1338 Apple's software update doesn't find any updates?

Since updating to OS 10.8.3 the software update does not seem to work anymore. Recently iTunes came up with a message saying that a new version was available but clicking on the update option it re-directed to the App Store and a notification appeared stating that no updates were available. Doesn't make sense to me, especially if I search online on the Apple website I find plenty updates!
Is this a known glitch or am I doing something wrong here? This problem has occured on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. Bye the way, an update to 10.8.4 hasn't changed a thing.

Maybe this?

Running 10.7.4 and Software Update doesn't find HP 4680 drivers

for some reason the magic of the software update is not enabling the necessary stuff to be findable
is there anything special about 10.7.4 and the HP photosmart C4680?

Hi,
As Apple Software Update fails to obtain the latest software you may install the HP Printer Drivers 2.11 package:

Then try addaing the printer again by clicking the plus sign under Print & Scan.

Nokia Software Updater doesn't recognise phone

I've just downloaded the Software Updater 1.4.3de and tried but it always complains "Connected phone was not recognised". Nokia PC Suit 6.68.9.0 recognises my E65 correctly. "*#0000#" on th phone shows "2.0633.65.01, 03-10-07, RM-208, Nokia E65". What's wrong?

Guess that makes sense re the IMEI number and also it doesn't have the white Nokia label which usually has the Made in Finland sign......it has a large green label that says BA1
Oh I'll have no problem getting a refund.......I know where he lives and I'm sure Trading Standards will be interested in him as he also sells Tag watches......for £50
Thanks for the info

Can someone please help me update my OS to 10.3 or explain please what I have to do?
Thanks.

You don't know how many devices out of all the devices are having problems. I don't mean to make light of your issues. They are not good. But it definitely doesn't mean a majority of all devices have major problems. I have three devices on 10.3.1 and have only minor little bugs here and there.

Software update doesn't find new iTunes

For a while now when I open iTunes, it tells me there is an update available. When I click download, it sends me to Software Update. Software Update tells me "Your software is up to date". I check that iTunes was not an "ignored update" and it is not. I know I can download manually from the apple website, but that is not convenient and it means something on my computer is not setup correctly.
Anyone have suggestions on how to make Software Update realize I have an iTunes update?
thanks

What version of the Mac operating system is installed on your MacBook? To find this information, go to the Apple menu, select About this Mac and look where it says version.
iTunes 11.0.1 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, so if you want to use your iPhone with your MacBook, you will need to update the OS on the MacBook at least that far.
You can purchase 10.6.8 on disk from Apple for $20 (in the USA.)
If you want to get a more recent OS, let us know what the specs on your MacBook are, we'll tell you what you can get.
Best of luck.

Nokia software update whilst connected through the...

Hi,
I have a nokia 6500 slide v6.60.
I connect my laptop via this to the internet.
I have run the update software and it tells me version 9.40 is available.
If I now proceed with this does any one know what will happen. As in, does the NSU download the new version fully to a temperorary folder before updating it to the phone( obvioiusly on restart of phone the internet connection would drop and if new version still downloading and taking affect all hell could breakloose .
Is there somewhere I could just manually download the new version then apply the update???
Many thanks in advance
Micosmiling

It should work in theory, then again I wouldn't like to be the guy putting that theory to the test
NSU does indeed download the full firmware package before toggling the phone into flash mode and uploading that package. FWIW, it also keeps that firmware package so that you can re-install it into the phone without having to download it all over again if the update fails first time.
How NSU will react if the phone about to be updated is also the modem, meaning that the Internet connection gets severed suddenly, is anyone's guess.

HT4623 my software update is not on the phone

my software updat is not there n my phone needs updating

Hi nikki,
What IOS is running on your iPhone? Software upates on the phone are only there if you have IOS 5.0 or higher installed. To do updates with a lower IOS, you must hook it up to a computer and update through iTunes.
Cheers,
GB

HT4623 I downloaded the iso software update on iphone4 from the phone and know the phone is switching on and off with apple logo please help iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

I saw a software update in general settings so i let it downloaded.. it took hours and now the screen with apple sign appears and going but the phone is not turning on.. iphone 4

Coincidentally I have had the same problem and I am also on Reliance network. I learnt the lesson in an expensive way (Read at Rs.17/min as this is the ISD rate of Reliance for calling to USA). I did mnp (mobile number portability, you oldie!) from Airtel to Reliance. So I had the inactive nano sim of Airtel. I took out the Reliance sim and inserted the Airtel sim into my iPhone 5s. By the time it was serching for the network, I quickly navigated to settings>phone and turned that damned dial assit off. That's it. Now when I inserted the Reliance sim and dialled the toll free numbers it was working perfectly, means free of cost. But I still wonder how come Reliance does not send the post call charge notification after the ISD calls? I had to call 198 to know about the balance deduction.
