N97 - copy messages from C to mass memory

Yesterday I transferred all my texts to the mass memory, however while connected to the phone in mass storage mode on the computer today I got a text through which I read and as a result it stored it to the C drive. How can I put this text onto the mass memory with the rest of them?
N97 11.0.021

I finally found a way:
Select the phone memory (c location were your messages are stored.
Open Messages in pc suite and select all messages from your inbox
Export them to a csv file on your pc
Now change the location to mass storage on your phone
Refresh pc suite and you'll see the messages in your mass storage
Create a new folder in My Folders f.e. Inbox
Select this folder and choose file - import and select the file where you saved your messages from your phone memory.
Now transfer the messages from your my folder inbox to your inbox.
Now change the location to phone memory on your phone
Refresh pc suite and you'll see the messages in your phone memory again.
You can now delete them.....
It's a bit time consuming, but it works!

Is there a way to copy messages from PC to Nokia N...

Hi.
I have Nokia N73 with v 4.0839.42.2.1 and PC Suite 7.1.18.0. My camera was not working, it will show as system error. i have updated to the latest firmware version and it was no luck. i had to reset the phone to factory settings *#7370# to get the camera working and after that if i restore my backup the camera stops working. I dont want to restore my backup as my camera will stop working., i have got my contacts back by importing from PC (CSV format) but i was not able to import messages or copy messages from PC to mobile.
Is there a way i can bring the message from PC to mobile?
Thanks,
Abraham Johnson

Hi,
restore your old backup with all settings, then make once more memory backup by NSU but without settings, private data only(contacts, calendar, notes, messages etc.).
Then once more dial*#7370# and restore backup without setting. After that all should be good.
Greetings

How do you copy messages from one Mac to another?

Scenario:
I have one Mac with 7 Mail accounts with messages up until February 2012 (plus the last few days). I have another Mac with 8 accounts (the 7 plus one other) and messages between February 2012 and now.
How do I get the messages from the second Mac to the first Mac so that the first Mac's Mail doesn't have a big gap?
This is probably an easy question for people who understand Mail inside out, but not so easy for those who don't!

No, I think you may have misunderstood what I want to do. I know I can move messages between accounts (or even between Inbox and Sent) - that's very easy to do once Mail is set up.
What I want is to merge messages between the SAME accounts on TWO DIFFERENT computers. One Mac has messages up until February 2012, and then again from a few days ago. The other Mac has messages from February 2012 up until the present. I just want to bring the messages from the past year or more onto the one Mac, so they are all together and I can put the second Mac away into storage. Mail is the only thing holding me up.
Is there something I can do with "Archiving" mail from the second Mac, onto a flash drive, then reading the flash drive into Mail on the other Mac? Why, oh why, can't I just 'drag and drop'?

Copy music from iTunes to USB Memory Stick

I am doing what I am supposed to do:
I highlight the songs I want to copy in iTunes.
I drag them to a fold in the USB Memory stick.
Every once in a while I get this error:
The item “name of song.mp3” can’t be replaced because it’s invisible.
I am dragging 100 songs at a time. This happens about 1/3 of the time. I then delete this "invisible" file. Sometimes, when I go back to the iTunes song, I can drag it from iTunes to the momory stick. Other times, I have to go to the file and drag it to the memory stick.
I have a 32 GB USB memory stick that I am loading up to play in my car radio. Doing this 100 songs at a time is taking me days....
I am on OS 10.6.8. I do have the OS setup so that I can see the invisible files.
It looks like, when I drag the music in, grayed out icons appear until the files copy. Sometimes those icons apparently appear as invisible files.
The USB is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) which is the way it arrived. I suspect that these memory sticks have to be formatted that way for the radio to read the files, but I have not tried the Mac format.

After you copy the files to the flash drive...
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
Enter: dot_clean
spacebar
drag the flashdrive from the Desktop to the Termnal window
press enter

How to copy messages from a disabled email account

Hello. I have this [email protected] configured on imap4.serverA.com. Now I've terminated contract with the provider that owns imap4.serverA.com and created the same email account on a new provider with an imap4.serverB.com. I've added the new account on Thunderbird and tried to move/copy the messages (drag and drop) from the old account to the new one. The problem is that when I try to do this Thunderbird keeps asking for the imap4.serverA.com login data. I can't login on that server because I've terminated contract with the provider, but the messages are still saved on thunderbird. Is it possible to copy those messages to that new account?
Thank you in advance.

Try this.
Go into 'Offline' mode, (click on 2blue screen icon - bottom left in Status Bar' to change to 2 black screen 'offline' mode), but do not synchronise because you already have the emials.
Move emails from old imap mail account into Local Folders. Then the emails are not stored in an imap account.
then go back into Online mode and try moving one email from Local Folders back onto new imap account.
check it moved ok by checking the webmail account via a browser.
You may discover it changed the dates as you are putting it onto the new server for the first time. If this occurs and is not desirable, then at least you can still view emails in Local Folders.

Can I copy messages from my Time Machine ~/Library/Mail/V2 to Macbook?

Hi, I wonder if I can copy my old messeges from time machine to my new mailbox via ~/Library/Mail/V2 . Maybe I am doing something wrong but all the messages i have copied are not showing in the mail.app and I do not know how to index them.
Thank you.

Not likely.. the files from the card are loaded into the computer via iphoto I guess.. they are saved in a different format.. you cannot copy those files back to the camera card. But you should still have a backup of the photos .. in TM which is the backup of the iphoto library.
Almost nobody I have heard from will save the original files in raw format. To do that you would need to open the card via Finder and copy the raw files to a folder on the computer which you then backup by TM?? Is that how you have done it??
Tell us more info but most likely you need help from folk in iphoto section or aperture or whatever software you use.
I can help you to recover stuff on your hard disk to recover.. but not on SD card unless you actually included it in your backup which would be most unusual.

Can't slideshow photos on mass memory N97

Hi,
I have copied many photos to the mass memory (N97) hoping I can view them whenever I need. I have been struggling but so far couldn't figure out how to slideshow photos stored on the Mass memory?
Since the phone memory is pretty limited, I avoid copying or storing photos there and use the folder Images on mass memory instead. I am not even able to use screen slide to flip through the photos and of course no thumbnail so I have to manually open and close each photo!!!
Any suggestions will be most welcome and appreciated.
Regards,
Ahmed

Are you viewing them through the gallery or the file manager? File manager will not allow you to swipe or play slideshow. You do that in the Picture Gallery or the Nokia PhotoBrowser application.

Copying to Main Memory (not Mass Memory)- N95 8GB

Hi,
While converting / transferring the videos from PC to N95 8GB throughPC Suite, I noticed that it copied the files in Main Memory instead of Mass Memory.
Please let me know how to configure that or there is some other issue with this.
Regards,
Riz

have you tried using Nokia Suite rather than Nokia PC Suite? as Nokia PC Suite is no longer being actively developed or is supported by Nokia. there should be an option in the Settings of Nokia Suite to change the save location to the Mass Memory.
if not, then you can always use Windows Explorer to copy the files to the Mass Memory that appears as Removable Disk in windows.

N95 8Gb don´t boot. Format mass memory.

Hello,
My cellphone does not start after having copied some fonts in the mass memory (e:\resources\fonts). I have tried hard reset using the 3 buttons method (*, 3 and green dial) but nothing. I suspect that formatting the mass memory is the only solution, Is there a way to format it before you start up the cellphone?.
thanks in advance.

the use of a font changing software like fontrouter and others in devices without a removable memory card can cause you present proble. these apps were never designed to work on such handsets.
anyway what is done is done, the only way you can hard reset your phone is through the 3 key procedure, for as long as the phone won't even start then a code reset can't be used. just make sure you're doing it the right key, as early release of one of buttons will cause the procedure to fail.
1) Make sure phone is fully charged and switch it off.
2) Press simultaneously the green "call" button, '*' and '3', and keep them down.
3) With those 3 keys down, switch the phone on.
4) Only release the 3 keys when the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia logo or the language selection screen.
if it failed again, then your only option is to take your phone to the nearest nokia care point, where it can be flashed back for you.

Mail sync in tiger...should it copy messages?

i thought in tiger sync would copy messages from mail boxes between my two mac's.....thoughts?
G4PB, 12" & 15" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

It syncs Safari Bookmarks, iCal Calendars, Address Book contacts, Keychains, Mail Account information, Mail Rules, Signatures and Smart Mailboxes, not messages and/or mailboxes.
Sorry but to keep mailboxes automatically synchronized with multiple computers requires a .Mac or IMAP type account.

Importing messages from Outlook Express on a PC to Mail

I just spent a long time looking through posts to find a way to do this, and still had difficulties, until finding this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040325164915651
on one of the posts.
Actually it is simpler than described on that link, presumably because it's a couple of years old and the software has improved.
All you need to do now is Copy-Paste all the emails from each OE folder into a new folder you create on your desktop (OE lets you do this. So you make an Inbox folder, Sent folder, etc). Copy those folders over from PC to Mac (eg using a Fat32 formatted external drive) , then drag & drop those files one folder at a time into a Subfolder that you create in Entourage. (ie you make a new Inbox, Sent etc subfolder) Then Mail will import these folders from Entourage by itself using Import.
You need to have Entourage (part of Office) to do this.
cheers

Since you have a new Mac, you can create a .Mac trial account for free which is good for 60 days I believe.
A .Mac type account with Apple's Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.
When creating a .Mac account with the Mail.app, the default account type provided is .Mac but you can also select IMAP or POP as the account type.
You can create a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account with a different email client on a Mac or Windows PC.
After creating your .Mac trial account as a .Mac or IMAP account with Mail on your Mac, you can create the account as an IMAP account with Outlook Express on your Windows PC.
After doing so, copy messages from the POP account's Inbox mailbox to .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and the same for the POP account's Sent mailbox to your .Mac account's Sent mailbox.
Launch Mail on your Mac and these messages will be available in your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox.
Create two "On My Mac" location mailboxes in Mail - one for transferred Inbox messages and one for the transferred Sent messages.
Transfer these messages from your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox to the appropriate user created "On My Mac" mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. This process will save the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.
A .Mac trail account has limited server storage space so if the Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox for this POP account in OE on your PC exceeds the server storage limit for a .Mac trail account, you must do this in stages and although this may sound involved, it really isn't and overall is probably the easiest and fastest way to do so.

N8 Mass memory recovery after water damage

It seems my n8 has died after getting wet in my pocket while i was on my motorbike. :-/
So i was thinkin whether there's anyway to recover the pictures and other media from the internal mass memory of the n8?
Thanks in advance.

You're probably out of luck on that one as the mass memory can't be accessed with the phone switched off.
However, you could leave it submerged in a bowl of fresh rice for a few days to absorb as much moisture as possible. Then you can see if it will switch on to be able to retrieve your pictures.

Deletion of messages stored on mass memory on N97

Hi - I was wondering if anybody could help please ?
I've got a N97 which I've had around 180 messages in my Inbox and Sent Items which used the mass memory (E drive) to store the messages on.
I did a backup of the device on the phone via the File Manager application, and did a reinstall of the firmware.
Although the reinstall of the firmware didn't touch the music stored on the mass memory it appears to have deleted the messages I had stored, and unfortunately the backup doesn't appear to have stored the messages ...
Does anyone know if there is anyway of accessing/retrieving the messages which should hopefully still be on my E drive please ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edward

Ok, I had to try it out.
1. I had 1 message on C: and did a backup in filemanager. It backed up on F: on default. - I deleted the message on C: and restored the backup. My message got back.
2. If I deleted my message on C: and had 1 message on E: and did a backup - it also stored the backup on F: by default. - I set my message memory to E: and restored. - No message to see. - Cause it told me it would restore the backup to phonememory (C: ). I changed the messagememory to C: - but could not find any message.
As I can see, the backupprogram only backs up messages from C....

Error message when trying to copy files from memory stick to MacBookPro

Trying to copy files from my memory stick to my MacBookPro and have started to get a crazy error message - "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've never had a problem before today. Any help will be welcomed!

Try this. When the stick is mounted on your desktop, right click "Get Info" and at the bottom choose "ignore ownership on this drive." See if that works.
