N86 noted detected by OVI Suite, Nokia Music, Noki...

I bought a N86 8MP 3 days back and the package came with OVI Suite DVD. This DVD installed the below software on my PC:
Nokia Ovi Suite 1.1.243
Nokia Photos v 1.6.103
Nokia Music v 1.1.11203.00
My PC satisfies the system requirements for OVI Suite and runs Windows XP SP3.
While OVI Suite seems to detect the phone & displays the Memory status, the Nokia Photos & Nokia Music do not even detect the phone.
I also found that OVI Suite compatibility page on Nokia website not listing N86 8MP as compatible phone... Is that true?
If that is true, why is OVI Suite DVD bundled with N86 8MP Package?
What should I do to resolve so that I can start transferring contents between PC & N86?
Thanks & Regards,
Shankar

Thanks Cricfancy -- Your response helped... Tried with the latest download of both OVI Suite 2.0 as well as PC Suite 7.1.
The Phone is getting detected properly and so the basic issue seem to be resolved.
The next issue I now have is:
Issue#1: I tried "Copy to Device" option in OVI Suite 2.0's Nokia Music module to copy few MP3s from my PC onto my N86 Phone but it keeps giving an error as "could not be transferred".
I have tried this using both PC Suite USB mode as well as Media Transfer USB mode.
Other details are same as available on the initial post -- I have Win XP SP3 as OS.
Does Nokia Music require specific media file format to transfer from PC to Phone?
Does MP3 files need to be converted?
Issue#2: I used Mass Storage USB option and copied these MP3 files onto the Music directory onto the 8GB memory.
On the N86 phone, I'm able to use "Applications" ==> "Office" ==> "File Mgr" ==> "Mass Memory" ==> Navigate to Music folder ==> Open the specific MP3 and play.
But now I need to physically navigate thru the above path and select each media file individually -- can't get them playing one after another or access thru the Music Player !
How do I configure these media files within Music folder to be accessible from the Music Player within N86 phone?
Is that not possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Shankar

Nokia PC Suite - Ovi Suite - Nokia Suite

Nokia PC Suite - Ovi Suite - Nokia Suite.
What are the differences between these software suites?

The earlier means of communication between your Phone and the PC is the PC Suite. Then came the OVI Suite which was later renamed as Nokia Suite. Though cont. improvements are in process, many users still think the PC Suite to be more stable, more user friendly and more feature filled...

Ovi suite - 'find music on ovi store'

The 'Find music on OVI store' screen, has only Search function, but doesnt allow the rich browse experience as available in the web site. Is this intentional?
If I click 'Browse all music on Ovi', it takes me to website, but doesnt allow me to download there :-(
So should I always visit the website and browse to see interested albums, come back to the suite and search and download. Is this expected?
Not sure if I'm missing something here.

Hi,
Ovi Suite is really an horrible software. I was unable to exclude files from the music library, and they was already deleted from the file system. I kept trying to delete but nothing happened!!!
I found where the Ovi Suite keeps the its music library database...
With the Ovi Suite closed, go to the folder (in Windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
And rename the file MDataStore.db3 to MDataStore.old.
Open the Ovi Suite and now just adds yor music to the library. It will take some time but will be an updated library. (if you have any music you don't wanna in the library, move it to another folder before this procedure).

Ovi suite, Nokia Software Updater and my Nokia 573...

I have a nokia 5730 xpress music. I was trying to update its software via my device, but everytime i was trying to download the software i had ''connection error'' message while the internet connection was ok. Then i tried to update my nokia via ovi suite. Same problems. A message was coming that i have no internet connection but my internet connection was working. Later i tried nokia software updater. Everytime i try to open the program it says "sorry, the nokia Software Updater service is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I would be very glad if anyone could help me with this.

Could you please provide us more information on this?

Ovi Suite 3 - Music library refresh problem

Hi, i am using Windows 7 x64 and newest Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284.
I've been searching to find a thread with a similar problem and find none. So the problem is that i can't refresh my music library in Ovi Suite. There is just no such option. I am not gonna complain about his program showing pieces of music that i have deleted months ago, because that is something i can live with. This is just ridicolous.
I have an album that i have moved from a disk to disk and i can't copy it to a device because there is a yellow triangle with a (!) near songs and ovi claiming those files dont exist. They exist but this program just cannot update the directiories. How of an advanced option is that? Who are the people this program is designed for? This software is a joke. How can i refresh the library without changing my system files, formating the discs, buying a new phone and a new PC?

N86 not connected to OVI Suit

Hi,
I have just bought Nokia N86 8MP. I have installed OVI Suit on my laptop. But I amd not able to configure my phone with OVI suite.
After connecting my cell with my laptop I select PC Suit USB Mode from my cell phone. On the second step (Connect Device) of OVI Suite configuration the name of my phone is visible but when I select, A popup message is displayed that This device is not in PC Suite USB mode. And the 'Next' button is greyed out.
Anybody there to help me out.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Qarshi

I had similar problem with XpressMusic 5800 and Windows 7.
The solution for me was to update windows drivers by opening computer management --> Device Manager --> Portable devices --> Right click <Phone Name and Model> and select 'Update Driver Software' --> Click "Search automatically for Updated Driver Software".
Computer has to be connected to the Internet during the update process. That worked for me, I hope it helps

PC Suite/Nokia Music Crashes Windows media Player

Vista X64 SP1
PC suite 7.1.30.9
nokia music 1.3.20722.01
After downloading, installing and running these programs yesterday I got a message saying 'Windows media player has stopped working, I haven't loaded windows media player, so presumably this is down to the music application. After I receive this message I can't run media player, or winamp until I restart my computer.
After a restart if I load winamp before nokia music it plays fine, I get the error message but winamp keeps working, but if I close it and try and open it it won't load again.
It's pretty weak that these applications are preventing other software on my computer from working, I mean it's not like media player and winamp are obscure programs.
Has anyone else had this or know of a way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. When I connect my E52 to my PC in "PC Suite" mode (USB/or Bluetooth) the currently running WinAmp will be crash in a few secounds. If I try to restart it, the same will happen as long as the phone connected. This poblem exits on both of my computers (on has Win XP, the oder has VIsta on it)

Contacts list edits through Ovi Suite, Nokia 5230 ...

After I imported the contacts from the SIM card to the Nokia 5230 phone memory. All the names appear as Last name. I want to change this globally without having to go to each address and copy pasting the contents. If the address book were able to be imported to a .csv format, then I could just use Excel to do this manipulation. Does anyone know whether such thing can be achieved through the Ovi Suite. I tried to address this at the Nokia care. They seemed to be from Mars.
Also the contacts search in the Nokia 5230 does not follow common logic. Despite setting to show names by the first name it still shows by whatever it thinks. I have shown this to the Nokia care at Abu Dhabi where they told me that it shows the same in the phone that they have too!

Download and install the Nokia PC Suite..

OVI Suite - Nokia shooting themselves in the foot ...

I've been using PC Suite for quite some time, as I'm responsible for updates and general maintenance for the users where I work. PC Suite has been working like a charm, easy to use, easy to update. Even some of our senior users have been installing it themselves with ease.
So.. when OVI suite came along, I considered this to be at least as easy and fast to use as PC Suite. But no.
First of all they demand your create a OVI suite account, which is annoying. Extreme lag, phones crashing when connecting, the computer crashing when connecting phones (yes, newer models), backups and restore not working properly (hangs) And if you want to install a program via OVI Suite, you have to go via the internet?? Sending a download link to your phone takes forever..if it makes it to the phone at all..what is Nokia doing here?
This is a serious blow for our part. 90% of our users have Nokia, but I'm not sure whether this will continue in the future..too much hassle with OVI suite. I might encourage them to go for other phones unless OVI suite improves...soon!

I agree, ovi suite is horrible. Installed and uninstalled 2 different versions over the past few months and gone back to pc suite.
Ovi is far too unstable and isn't any easier to use. Infact for what I need to do ovi as a lot more difficult!
The GUI is a laugh and yes I agree it constantly falls over and locks up when doing things.
I tried to update a hundred contacts via USB and it fell over a number of times, went back to PC suite and it does it flawlessly.
If you have PC Suite I urge you NOT to upgrade unless you absolutely have to!!!!!

Ovi Suite + Nokia C-5 sucks

**bleep** is this? i can't do anything with this stupid program? why don't they let the pc suite? I can't connect to internet, i can't browse the content of phone.. (only in transfer data mode) it's fkin annoying. I just like my old 6120c + pc suite then this **bleep**.

Don't worry you're not the only one. I have paid €170 for a small GPS when I thought I was buying a good business phone to read my e-mail. I have Nokia PC Suite installed on my PC and it works perfectly well with the Nokia 5130 (a little gem for the price). When I plug in the C5, PC Suite recognises it but doesn't work, saying I have to install software. Even the helpdesk in my office cannot make it work (they have admin rights).
The 16M colours are a disppointment with everything white on back going back to the Middle Ages. My 162.000 colours on my 5130 are much better.
Outlook appears in French on the C5 and text in a window doesn't wrap but runs off the screen. While on the 5130 Outlook is in English & text opens in a full-screen window.
So for 0,2cm extra I have even more difficulty reading e-mails!
Very disappointing - this is about my 10th Nokia so maybe I'll return to Ericsson which was the 1st phone I used. For neary €200 it really is a rip-off. The 5130 is much much better.
If however you want a good keyboard and GPS then the C5 is good but would be even better at half the price for just phone+GPS. Having said that DO NOT get the 2710 which is smart looking but has an awful GPS which doesn't even work properly and has such a basic display. Advertised as a Navigation phone, I must say the extra for a C5 is worth it.

Ovi suite & nokia 6136

All I want to do is to download games from the web to my phone, I have a data cable but I can see how to use it to download games or should I do it some other way
Any help appreciated

1. You may download the Games using the phones browser if you have an active data plan..
2. Am not sure about this but you may try..( as I am not very conversant with S40 devices..)
   a.) Download the game to your PC ( Confirm that its compatible with your Phone )
   b.) Download and install the PC suite on to your PC from            http://www.nokia.co.in/support/download-software/nokia-pc-suites
   c.) Connect you phone to PC using the USB Cable
   d.) Open PC Suite and goto File-->Install applications
   e.) In the Left side window.. go browsing till you see the downloaded application (Game)
   f.) Select the application and click --> between 2 windows
   g.) Follow instructions on your phone screen..( Select Memory card when prompted
        to select destination..

Ovi Suite / Nokia Photos Tag editing

I added a tag to 788 photos. That was easy :-)
Now comes the hard part, figuring out how to remove the tag for all these files in one go, as I did a typo.
I can figure out how to select them all and add new tags but I can't figure how how to delete a tag on all files without opening each individual file.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

D'oh!
It's actually quite simple to remove the tags:
Select the files:
Edit / batch Edit / Content or Location Tags
Remove the tag you don't like
Ok
My problem was I had selected one file that I had manually removed the tag from, so the wrong tag did not appear as a common tag to remove anymore :-)

The camera update is not detected by ovi suite or sw. update on the phone just because it is not an update. It is a beta app that if you want you can install by downloading it by yourself from here:

My ovi suite or software updater can't detect my f...

hi,
i just download nokia ovi suite, nokia software updater, and cable driver.
but when i update the phone, the program is not detect the firmware.
my model nokia is Nokia C3-00.
the lastest firmware i update is V 07.20
i want to download V 08.63
thankyou
(sory my english bad)

Unfortunately your dad has bought you a counterfeit phone.
It isn't a nokia, it does not contain nokia parts and it doesn't have a nokia operating system so it isn't compatible with nokia software. It is impossible to make it work with nokia software,
The reason I can say for certainty that it's a fake is because it gives you the "webcam" option. Nokia's do not do this but fakes nearly always do.
Best thing to do with the phone is to bin it, we cannot help you with it here.
