N97 and memory card?

well i've got a N97 to try out for a couple of weeks and thought setting it up would be a quick exercise but its not to be. i thought after backing up my n95, all i'd need to do is pop the memory card into the 97 and do a restore, but this didn't seem possible, it seems unable to read the card. does it need formatting so the n97 can read/write to it?
i'm just transfering all my music i have on my card to the phone via windows media player and i'm going to be here hours! (i couldn't figure out how to do it with the nokia software)! 
Nexu 5

The card doesn't need to be set up differently. I'm using the card out of my N95 (although admittidly I did format it to keep things nice and clean). I did notice however that the folder structure seems to be the same as on the N95.
Things don't just "restore" themselves however. Music should appear in the Music Player after refreshing your library but applications won't normally re-install themselves - hey it's S60 5th edition on the N97 anyway so not all your S60 3rd edition apps will work now.  
There's a good application called "Switch". Have a look on your N95 under Tools -> Utilities.
You can use Switch to copy over all your contacts, messages calendar entries etc. which is what I did when I got my N97 - it works a treat.
If you're still having a problem with music however then try refreshing your music library from within the options in Music Player...
Good luck!

  • USB ports and memory card slots not working

    My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine.  I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed  Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

  • Music Files and Memory Card On N97 mini

    I,ve own my N97 mini for about a month now, been serving me well except for this problem...
    I created a folder on the E:/ drive for storing musics I transfered via PC Siute but I noticed that I can't seem to find the onces I trasfered via Bluetooth. When I open the music player and refresh, it seems some of the musics are not added to it. When I open the folder I created for musics I see the songs there but when I go back to the music player it ain't there.
    What can be done? 
    I added an 8G memory card to my phone and it's been misbehaving. Problems ranging from slow boot up and opening of applications to this error NOT ENOUGH MEMORY PLEASE DELETE SOME DATA whenever I try to open the music player. I understand that N97 mini can take upto 16G memory card but how come 8G gives it problems?

    Why on EARTH are you transferring music by Bluetooth ??? Simply connect the phone to your computer by usb cable in Mass Media mode. The phone will show in 'My Computer' as an external hard drive E. Open it and your music folder will be there. Then drag and drop any music you want FROM your computer TO the 'Music' folder on your phone, safely disconnect the phone from computer, go to music player and refresh music, that's all there is to it !!

  • N97 Memory in use and memory card not present issu...

    Hello,
    I bought my Nokia N97 2 weeks ago from your website. I switched my old phone data over to the new one, transfer few document, music onto the new phone from my PC and updated software last week. It worked for up until now but yesterday I all of a sudden
    - while I was playing music got a message saying files have been corrupted, it stopped playing music and deleted all documents from the E drive.
    - I went into the file manager but I could not access my E: Mass Storage drive anymore (from file manager) as it says 'memory in use'.
    - I connected the phone through USB cable to my PC, select PC suite on my phone but I got a message on the phone screen which said "Memory card not present (USB card may not work as expected)"even though I used it last week. However, while USB is connected, I could see the 'Phone Browser' on my explorer on my PC but no mass storage
    - I have restarted several times, took the battery in and out and tried but no luck.
    - I did a hard reset on the phone (*#7370#), it reset everything but no luck on the E: Mass Storage as it still says 'memory not in use'
    - I tried software update, it refreshes the list and does not update anything when I click on it. 
    - I went to Nokia Care Centre and they failed to fix the issue (after doing a reboot) and asked me to send the faulty phone back.
    I bought the phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - when I called them, they were quite hostile and asked me to email ([email protected]). I emailed but the response time is apparently 5 days. The guy on the phone tells me since the phone is 7 days older they cannot replace it. I called the insurance guys, they said because it is a manufacturer issue its not covered by the insurance. I called the repair centre recommended by mobilephonesdirect, they said if nokia care centre cannot repair it, there is no point in sending in the phone. 
    Now what do I do? Does anyone know how to fix this "memory not present" issue? 

    Hi mate, Not sure how to fix the problem ,but you have the right for this to be sorted. 
    I take it you bought it from a website or over phone,this is classed as distance selling, That means you are entitled to 7 days "cooling off period" in which you can return the product no questions asked. I think this is where they are getting there 7 days from. It has nothing to do with faulty goods.     If the goods are faulty it breached the "Sales of Goods act 1979"  as the goods should be fit for purpose which yours is not. 
    The Sale of Goods Act makes reference to ‘the seller’, this is the shop, the retailer, or the individual you bought it from, and is who you made the contract with. It is not the manufacturer, and don’t let the shop tell you otherwise! If there is an obvious fault with the item at any time within the first 6 months and it has not been caused by wear and tear or misuse, your first port of call must be the shop you bought it from. They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty. Even after this 6 month period, if the item breaks down prematurely , you should always go back to the shop or retailer in the first instance.
    Your statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act take precedence over and above any warranty or guarantee you may have with either the retailer or manufacturer. It is misleading for a shop to tell you they can do nothing simply because their warranty or guarantee has run out, because you will still have your statutory rights.
    I have an n97 and my key lock slider just came off. I had to argue untill I was blue in the face that it is a fault and not over use (its the most pressed key on the phone) Finally they sent it off for repair for me.
    Hope all this helps a little. There is more info on many websites on Sales of goods act which may also help you.
    Regards

  • N97 Mini Memory Card Problem

    I've been having a problem with my N97 Mini since installing a SanDisk 16Gb Memory Card.
    When switching on the phone it quite often reboots. It will then work fine.
    I also get 'memory full' or 'security module' errors. I can fix the issue by rebooting or ejecting the memory card in the file manager (even though I don't need to physically remove the memory card).
    If I remove the memory card it works fine and I can't reproduce the errors.
    I tried reformatting the card but it hasn't helped; even though it's blank.
    Could it be a problem with the phone hardware, the memory card or the firmware (I'm running v11 on vf uk)?

    So I've now switched to a Nokia memory card.
    It came in official Nokia packaging, however there's no markings on the memory card or included adaptor that it's made by (or for) Nokia. Having looked online I can see there are other examples of this.
    I did wonder if it was genuine!
    However it works much much better with my phone.
    The Security Module Error has completely gone, it very occasionally does the random reboot on startup, and gives a 'memory full' error, but I think this may be due to an issue with Ovi Maps and the amount of music I have on there.
    I will try (another) full reset just to make sure but otherwise the phone's now working well.

  • E51 update and memory card password problem

    For some reason even when you did not add a password to your memory card, sometimes your phone after a factory reset, may ask you for a password for your memory card. There is a way around this. Go to SETTINGS à SECURITY à REMOTE LOCK and add a new codeword for locking your phone eg “lockthis” and put in your lock CODE (default is 12345). When this is done, use your lock codeword “lockthis” as the password for the memory card and you should be able to get into your memory card again. ATTENTION!!!!!! The codeword must have maximum 7 characters!!!! IT REALLY WORKS!!!!! 100%

  • Maps App and memory cards

    Hi,
     The MAPS app, is incapable of finding adresses eventhough I copied said adress from the MAPS app onto my adress book. What is the matter with this app???
    Also I can't find a way to calculate an itinirary between two destinations other if one of the two is not necessaraly my PRESENT LOCATION. Is there a way to do it? And I never get multiple itiniraries wich is a problem when I know there is construction work on the most obvious itinirary.
    Furthermore, an adress or a phone numbre sent by email or text message is not identified by my phone as such so I cannot click on it to go directly to the MAPS app or the automaticaly dial the phone number.

    HOW DO I TRANSFER EXCESS DATA FROM MY BBZ10 MEMORY, TO THE MULTIMEDIA MEMORY CARD I ADDED TO MY BBZ10.
    NicolasCleroux, I asked above and you've yet to answer... what is this "excess data" you speak of?
    Please, scroll up, read and answer that, and then perhaps we can deal with that... What do you consider "excess" data?

     IS IT A PROBLEM ON A PC??
    For some, Link is a problem on Mac and Windows. I've had some isues with it on my Win7 PC, but it does work after some fixing of issues in my firewall and proxy settings.

     WHEN I SAY "IDENTIFY" I MEAN THAT THE ADRESS OR PHONE NUMBER CANNOT BE CLICKED ON TO ACCESS DIRECTLY THE RELEVANT APP ( PHONE OR MAPS)
    Make sure those phone numbers are formatted properly to be recognized as a phone number or address.
    For instance, where I am, a phone number formatted as xxx-xxx-xxxx work and is "hot-linked" to dial the number.
    Similarly, with an address: 123 Street, city, St, Zip" will create a hot-linked address openable in BlackBerry Maps.
    I know in my own Address Book's contacts, i have several linked addresses which open in maps, and you will see them in a highlighted blue text if they are recognized as such.
    So, please give an example of how your phone numbers and addresses are formatted?

  • Facebook and memory card

    hello people,...
    Facebook app was never my favorite on my BB. It's sluggish, slow, and it simply sucks. Until today,... I've removed my memory card from handheld and voila. Facebook worked GREAT! really fast and as I, and everybody else expect! But the problem is,... When I put back memory card, it gets sluggish again. So my question is, how do I force Facebook app to use only internal memory?
    Info:
    BB Curve 8520
    BB OS v5.0.0.610 (I know it's not official, but every OS prior was showing exact problem with Facebook app)
    Carrier: VIPnet
    memory card: Default 2GB
    I've deleted Facebook app couple of times, deleted cache, removed battery and still same problem with facebook.

    By removing your memory card you did force FB to work off internal memory only. To do this dynamically you can go to settings > options > memory > media card support > OFF and see if that works as well.

  • Lost videos after pushing "command z" and memory card already removed.

    I recently copied some videos from an SD Card using the built in card reader on my 2009 iMac. After copying the videos to a folder on the computer, I removed the memory card and formated/erased it in the camera. Upon returning to my computer (memory card still removed) I accidently pressed "command z" with the current Finder window still active and the videos disapeared. I was wondering if the videos are lost forever, or is there some location that they could still be found at? Thanks

  • E 72 - hard reset and memory card

    Hi,
    I am having some problems with the E 72 which seem like a virus, and i wanted to know what the options for reformatting are. Should i do a return to factory setting, or a hard reset?
    Second, how do i make sure that the memory card is virus free as well? If i format it, how would i recover any pre-installed software that came with the phone?
    Thanks

    If you are worried only about the preinstalled SW that came with the phone, then they will remain after the hard reset. You will loose your data, configuration and all installed apps.

  • New Nokia 3120 and memory card

    Hi there.
    Yasterday I upgraded my old motorola to a brand new Nokia 3120.
    In my Motorola I used the "Sandisk 1GB microSD" memory card, so I tried to put it now in my new Nokia.
    I followed the instructions and put it in sucessfuly (I think), but I have no idea how I define the memory card to be the 
    phone's main memory source.
    I tried to change the camera output folder to "Memory card" but it kept changing it back to "Phone memory".
    Does anyone knows what's going on here?
    Thanks!

    Thats fine it works on your friend's moto after inserting that same card onto your nokia device are you able to access the content in it , are you able to install applications onto that card or you are facing the problem only when using the camera application which is reluctant to save your photos onto memory card one more thing you have to find out is the device capable of storing photos on memory card from camera application(check in the user guide)

  • USB and memory card??

    I have a bell phone that takes a flash 512 memory card I can take pic and put mp3 on it. However the card is full and whenever I put it in my computer it just askes me to open my disc utilities and it says ( A disk attempting to mount as Unknown has failed verification or has failed to mount. Please use disc utility to check the disk and correct any errors. ).. I have tryed everything and nothing seems to work? It use to work fine as it would open I photo but now I cant do a thing.
    And I am not sure if its the phones fault, the flash, usb or mac??
    Any help would be great.

    Hi Geordin,
    Did you buy the card from Bell? or did you buy it from eBay? There are a large number of fake flash memory cards around, which will report as being 512MB (or 1GB, 2GB) but in fact only be 128MB or smaller. This may cause the problems you are reporting.
    I would suggest trying an application like PhotoRescue : http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/ to see if you can recover the photos, then format the card in the phone, and try reading from it again. If the capacity changes, or it doesn't work, I'd get a new card from a reputable reseller.
