N900 and content copier

I am having some issues with my N900 and using it with content copier...
Having had the mini-usb port fail on my device, I paired it up with bluetooth, and carried out a successful backup before taking it to the shop to get it replaced.
I now have a new device, but no matter what I do I cannot get content copier to recognise that there is a phone attached, so tha I can restore my previous backup.
I have updated both PC suite, and the software on the handset to the same level as my old device.
Everything I have read just says 'content copier doesn't support the n900' but if that was the case, how could I have made the backup in the first place???
Anyone any suggestions?
Are there any other ways around the issue? I have tried copying the backup file to the device, and attempting to restore using the onboard backup utility, but it doesn't seem to recognise the file as a backup...
Is there a way of opening a backup set, so that I can extract  the contacts etc and sync them individually???
Any help much appreciated.

you can use a program I wrote called NokNokWhosThere to extract VCards from your PC Suite databases (not the backup file) and use communication centre to reimport them, or maybe open them on the device itself directly..

  • Critical error in Content copier

    Hi everybody!
    Installed the latest version of PC Suite.
    When I launch the program it connect to my phone (6111) via Bluetooth.
    File manager works, Messages works....but, I can't make the backup.
    When i stasrt content copier, it sees my mobile phone but, when i click on "Backup" after 5 seconds it says: "A critical error occurred (0x80400001). Restart your phone and content copier. If this do not help, try restart your pc". But even if I restart both of them it still not working...
    THIS IS MAKING ME MAAAAAAAAAAD. I NED TO BACKUP MY CONTACTS!
    The strange thing is that with teh previous version of PC suite it worked.
    Anyway, I tried to reinstall the previous version but it works no more.
    I'm using WinXP SP2
    and a Belkin Bluetooth USB key (with WIDCOMM drivers).
    Please help me!
    THANKS :-)

    I also have same problem. I have a 6230i and previous version of Nokia PC Suite worked fine.
    Is the name that appears in the content copier important? Because in my case it shows ?s????p????? . This is probably because I had changed the phone name in the bluetooth settings and now I can NOT change the name that appears in PC Suite back to "Nokia 6230i". (I used IVT bluesoleil software.)
    Also I cannot copy the sounds folder using the "sounds" folder using the file manager. I get message about copyright protection.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi marecg,
    Do one thing before you uninstall / reinstalling pc suites, make use of noki, an application for nokia backup files.
    you can download noki from http://www.nokisoft.com/
    Utilise this application and store your data on your pc in safe and once you are very sure that you are data are safer, you can go for uninstalling/reinstalling pc suite versions etc., Which handset are you using? What is pc suite version you are using now ?
    Are you using any Nseries phone, if so, try this in latest OVI Suite 1.1.180 version.

  • Difference between copying cube content using datamarts and direct copying

    Hi Experts,
    I have been going through the SDN for the last 6 months  and this is my first post
    I know two methods of copying the cube content from one cube to another.
    One is data mart method in which we create a datasource based on the cube and
    then create a transformation between the new cube and datasource.
    This method is used if our source cube is in same server or in diff server.
    Other method is directly copying the cube content from source to destination
    by creating a transformation between two cubes .
    this is used if source cube anddestc u be are in same server.
    My  doubt is if both the cubes are in same server then what is diff between first method
    and second method,
    Please clarify me

    Hi,
    Now Iam closing this thread with a conclusion .
    The question is what is the difference between copying cube
    content using datamarts and direct copying
    Also what are there any other methods to copy cube contents
    from one cube to another.
    The  diff bet using data marts and direct copying is
    In case of datamarts,ven if the source cube is changed in futute there is no effect on the target cube.
    In case of copying directly,whenever the source cube is changed,the transformation becomes inactive.
    so we have to activate the transformation again.
    ALso there are some other methods to copy cube contents fron one to other .
    But datamarts is sap standard one.
    Thankyo every one for giving answers
    Regards,
    Sundar

  • Nokia 6310i and Nokia content copier

    My phone doesn't get to the welcome message when switched on, only the screen blinks four times.
    I obtained a newer 6310i handset and wanted to update the content information from my old phone. Both phones were working beforehand with their respective SIM cards. I loaded the latest versionof the Nokia PC suite from the realted link on the Nokia 6310i support site and successfully copied the data to my PC using the content copier as part of the PC suite. I then started reverse process to load the data from the PC to the new phone. I selected the file from the loaction they were stored and started the process. Towards the end of the process the content copier gave an error on the lines that the connection had been lost. I stopped the process and then looked at the phone which had a blank screen. Thinking that the power may habe been lost or the sim card not seated, I then powered the phone on/off, took the battery out checked the sim card, but still no joy. I then changed the sim card over with the other handset to establish that this was OK;it was and put the old sim in the new phone; that didn't work. I am now stuck with a handset that doesn't power up and go to the welcome screen; it can only be charged. When changing it does beep and show the charging bar.
    It looks like the phone software is corrupt, can I power the phone up another way or get the software fixed? Are there codes you can enter to reset the handset?

    As the 6310i is a rather old model, early 2000's as I recall from memory, there's not much you can do except to check that you have the most recent firmware available for your phone. But since it is an old phone, support for the model may (and probably has) been taken down by Nokia. The only option you have then really is to ask at your local Nokia Care Centre, otherwise I would recommend buying a new Nokia phone anyway.

  • PC Suite 7.1.40.1 Content Copier does not work.

    The Content Copier in PC Suite 7.1.40.1 fails to Backup the Data from the Phone. "The phone did not contain any content ..."
    All Attempts to uninstall, delete Directories and Registry Keys did not help.
    The Content Copier from 7.1.30.9 works fine.
    OS: Windows XP Pro SP3

    I'm also having problems with V7.1.40.1 of this software, running on WinXP Home edition V2002 SP3.
    (via Bluetooth Toshiba stack) from a 6600 Slide.
    Trying to backup Contacts list (the MOST important data!!!) it just sits there forever with the 'busy' wheel twiddling round and zero % progress on the display bar.  It DOES say it might take a while but more than 30 minutes with nothing indicated for only a couple of hundred contacts suggests actually no progress at all!  It IS possible to read contact, calendar, messages etc., using other apps in the suite - but then the progress bar on the PC Suite display tends to stop, showing (eg.) 90%, although it looks like all the content has been transferred.  Using other apps, of course you can't create an alternative backup file!!!
    When the contacts list fails to transfer, the phone screen momentarily flashes up a 'sync complete' message after only a few seconds - although I THOUGHT I was backing-up, not sync'ing!
    PC Suite looks like a very nice software package - but does ANYONE (except US!!!) actually test it with real data and real phones???

  • PC Suite 6.81.13: Content Copier 3.0 crashes at 10...

    After doing what seems to be a successful backup the content copier program crashes after several minutes of disk activity when at 100%.
    This occurs only with 6.81.13 - the previous issued versions of PC Suite e.g. 6.7 do not have this problem.
    This was repeated on 2 PC's both with Windows XP (1 home edition, 1 professional).
    Both PCs have a previous version of PC Suite installed that was deinstalled via the installation of the latest version.
    The backups were done from my Nokia 9500 using the DKU2 cable.
    Also tried it with my wifes 9300 - same thing happened.
    Because of the severity of this problem I considered reinstalling the previous version but I already deleted that and I cannot seem to access previous versions of PC Suite via the normal website.Message Edited by djmoore670 on 25-Sep-2006

  • Urgent Help, Re Nokia Backup / Content Copier

    Help,
    I need to gain access to a *.nbu file, This Content Copier has some old Numbers in it, And I need to open it without the Headache of Restoring it on another phone and going thru loads of numbers.
    anyone know if Nokia do a piece of software that opens the *.nbu files so I can retreive some VERY VERY important information please???

    Awwww, sorry to hear your shoes and headache. There are some really good sales on at the moment and you may just pick up something real cheap.
    I think you might have to decide between the hassle of restoring it to a phone or paying $49. It really doesn't take that long to restore it to a phone so I would recommend you trying that. I'd do it for you myself if I could. 

  • Content Copier freezes with N95

    Hi there,
    I just updated my software on my N95.
    I did everything right and have been trying to restore the backup I made with content copier.
    My problem is that it doesn't complete the restore and seems to stop at 68%. I thought that maybe it wasn't responding, but it was still running and seems to be responding normally.
    The backup was successful, but I just can't restore it.
    Any ideas? I have a lot of numbers and calendar entries on my phone that I need to get back. I thought I was doing the right thing by backing up my details, but I still seem to have lost it all.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi there,
    I managed to get my contacts back because I had luckily sync-ed my phone earlier. Though I had forgotten I'd done it.
    I checked your way of doing it and found the calendar details (among a lot of other junk I had to sort through.)
    I just did the PC sync again and it loaded them all back on (though I made a copy of my Outlook address book first, just in case)
    I'll definately have to remember both ways. I'm just glad that I have got my numbers back. The calendar I can deal with.
    Thanks

  • Connection problme with "Content copier"

    Hi,
    I have a problem with application content copier.
    When i load program the downlaod begin but after few time the message : connection lost appear.
    I haven't any problem with other applications of pc suite.
    I have try to install pc suite, i worked with nokia nseries pc suite and it's the same.
    Could you help me please? 

    try to restore backup category by category and not all at one time. the problem usually is one of the categories " mostly the contacts" , if so it might be beacause you had some contacts with special characters on the name fields.
    if the problem is in the contacts category, try to use sync option if you have ever sync'ed your contacts to outlook before.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

  • Content copier backup has contacts etc. but won't ...

    I have a problem with Content Copier backups from my E71 to my PC.
    1) I choose to backup everything.
    2) Backup proceeds, but says there was an error: on viewing logs there is nothing listed under "These items could not be backed up" heading. Backup log says contacts, messages, calender have all been backed up.
    3) On finishing backup my E71 is sometimes left with a semi-blank Home screen, and hung. Have to remove battery to get it working again.
    4) On trying to restore this backup, contacts, messages, notes, calendar aren't listed as being included in the backup.
    Installing the trial version of Noki shows that the backups DO indeed contain contact details. But presumably there's something in the backup file that makes Content Copier think that contact details aren't in fact there, or that they're corrupted.
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0
    E71 firmware version 100.07.76 and 200.21.118
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't think it's the phone.
    I've now tested using Content Copier to do backups on my laptop. This still had PC Suite 7.0.9.2 on it, and the backup completed without error, including "Settings" to backup phone-specific settings. I then upgraded PC Suite to 7.1.18.0 and now the backup fails if I have "Settings" selected.
    I've also tried completely uninstalling PC Suite and reinstalling 7.1.18.0 but I still get failed backups.
    PC Suite 7.0.9.2: backup works correctly, including "Settings"
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0: backup fails if "Settings" are selected to be backed up
    I've opened the backup files in Write, and both failed and completed backups contain Contacts data in VCARD format (which is presumably why Noki could see contact data), but the completed backups also have another 18Mbytes of binary data that are missing from the failed backup files (presumably the phone-specific settings stuff).
    It would be nice if Content Copier could allow me to extract the Contacts and Calendar data from a failed backup: the data is in there!
    I've been communicating all this with Nokia Europe Support, so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

  • Restriction of content copying

    Hi,
    I am aware of restricting "Content Copying" per pdf by Managing security policies, but would like to know if we can restrict Content copying by default to all the pdf documents. My requirement is that whoever opens any and every pdf doument, should have the restriction of content copying. Can you advise.
