Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try connecting phone in mass storage mode and select show all files, look in 'private on E and delete the files listed, has worked for me in the past !
Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
\private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
\private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
\private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db
TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone.
After you've done this, then you should be able to re-scan and re-create the Music Library.
Good Luck

Software Update's Library Folder

Quick question, where is the Software Update's library folder located?
I have several applications that still show up in Software Update that I no longer need, such as printer driver updates despite removing the drivers from my computer some time ago, as well as other previously uninstalled software. I'm aware that I can opt to hide certain updates from appearing in Software Update, but I'd rather delete the files from my system altogether. Cheers.

The only printer drivers you should see in the SU listing are those for printers listed in the Print & Fax prefPane. Delete any not connected and you should never see updates for those again. BTW, which applications are showing up that you deleted? Dumping Apple ones is an exercise in futility and save little if any HD space. just leave them where the installer puts them.

N97 software update ready for black not white vers...

is anyone else in the uk amazed that Nokia have released the software update for the N97, but it is only available for the Black not white version of the phone?
I am truly amazed. Its not like they are different phones. . .is it?

I purchased a Nokia n97 in white and after 2 weeks my front screen wouldn't load and I couldn't connect to the internet,the phone I purchased was sim free and cost me 500 pounds,I checked for updates to rectify the problem because after reading on these sites it was a common problem and the update would fix it... Anyway there were no updates so i contacted nokia themselves and i got an email back saying
"We are unable to provide information on the features for future software updates or product releases ahead of time. All available information on our products can be found from the relevant support pages on our website.
Please note that unfortunately there is no information yet as to the release dates for the Nokia Software updater for the model N97 as product releases are country and market dependant."
wasn't the update supposed to ready for the 1st??...
i've since swapped the phone (after some faffing about) for a Nokia n97 in black,I turned the phone on and after 5 minutes I got a message saying important updates available,the firmware 11. was available after 5 minutes of me having the phone,i've not moved its from the same shop an i'm using the same sim,why send an email out saying they don't know when its going to be available,why not just put we've done it for the black we just don't know when its gonna be ready for the white!! so far i've had no problems but its only been a day!!

Music library gone after visiting itunes store

I have been trying to purchase an album since yesterday from the i store. It wont let me in at all to use my gift card. this morning i tried again and it wouldnt let me but when i got off line i noticed my whole f**kin library of music was gone. What is going on? I saw that someone else had the problem but since logging in cannot find his post. Whats the deal

I've restored from the iPod with a free software.

Cleaning and Updating Music Library's

I created a large music library from many CD’s and organized them into several sub-folders by artist name within a master “My Music Folder”. I then imported the “My Music Folder” into iTunes. The process worked great but when I reviewed the details in iTunes and on my iPod, I found duplicates, some misspellings, and duplicate artist names (i.e. “Beatles” and “The Beatles; “Clash” and “The Clash” I would like to clean up the library and organize the music to reduce the duplicates, simplify the artist list by a common name, and correct wrong information and in some cases add info to the artists.
My question is where is the best place to make these changes so that I can have one integrated and master music library incorporating the changes? Should the edits be done in the original folders or should the edits be done in iTunes and then saved as a new exported library? Or is there a better or recommended way?
Thank you,

Use the (free) software Mp3tag. It can do 'Actions' to update, e.g. all "The Beatles" by "Beatles" etc. I just cleaned my ~4,000 songs library using that. iTunes is doable, but nowhere near as flexible. You may want to clean everything first and then reimport everything into iTunes for cleanest results.

N97 Software Updater - Fails to find device...

Hi all,
Hoping someone will be able to help...pardon the waffle, but I'll try and be as specific as possible.
I have a Nokia N97 and I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on my PC.
Every time I try to delete a photo on my N97 I receive the message "General: System Error" - I can't take any photos now...and my phone memory is FULL to capacity (2.0ish Mb free) even though all my photos are saved to mass memory and I can't actually SEE any files in my phone memory folders when I explore them in PC Suite.
I checked the support forums and it was suggested I needed new firmware because the original was buggy.
So off I went to Software Updater on my PC.
On previous occasions, Nokia Software Updater has found my phone without any problems. However, today I plugged it in again and although PC Suite works fine, Software Updater is failing to find my device when it is "Searching for connected device"...
Again, I checked the forums. I have uninstalled both PC Suite and Software Updater, reinstalled them and tried again. Still no recognition of my device via USB (PC Suite mode) in Nokia Software Updater.
On my device I've hit the SW Update and the only one listed is a small optional Messaging update which I don't have the phone memory to install anyway. I don't have any apps installed, no games, nothing other than photos, a few music albums, messages and contacts.
Any and all suggestions would be fantastic - many thanks in advance...

I can't actually SEE any files in my phone memory folders when I explore them in PC Suite.
USB Mass Storage Mode open in Windows Explorer .

Nokia N96 - Problem Updating Music library

Hi, I have transferred some music to my N96 and I am now trying to Update my library to show the new tracks. I have done this lots of times without a problem but today I had it refreshing for 2 hours and it didnt change off the refreshing screen. I have tried stopping it and taking my battery out and still no joy.

Since posting this problem I have been able to use the Music Player quite normally.
The problem and solution, I believe, lie in the way that Nokia's proprietary software (in the case of Macs this is Nokia Multimedia transfer) organises music files.
Nokia Multimedia Transfer organises music into folders named A-Z (and 0-9 if applicable) by artist on the phone. It also truncates folder and file names - folder names seem to be truncated to 13 characters and file names to 9 - fortunately, ID3 tags are not affected.
Any attempt to subvert this hierarchy will result in an incomplete scan of the music library. As Nokia and other methods result in completely different file structures it is necessary to remove all previously synched music from the phone and making a clean sync using Nokia's software.
Additionally, I discovered that as I was trying to synchronise multiple media (music, photos, videos, bookmarks) the whole process would become kind of stuck - that's why I tried alternative methods of synchronising my music. I have completely given up on all other media synchronisation for the sake of getting the music sorted out.
This isn't ideal but at least it works and it saved me from jumping up and down on my phone in shear cartoon frustration!

N97 software update issue

hi all,
i read allot of posts and tried allot of solutions but untill now none worked for me
i use windows 7 ultimatie 64 bit, installed the ovi suite and the nokia software updater.
then why i try to update the device software it says the phone is not connected, when i then reconnect the phone i can press continue but immediatly after that its says its not connected again. even though the ovi store has it still connected and i can browse the phone from the pc aswell.. I tried different usb ports, i tried it on an win xp machine ( with same results ).
Currently my n97 had software version 1.2 i believe, when i use the phone itself to update it says no updates available.. i dont know whats wrong, because other then the update everything works normal.
If i need to post more info pls ask for it
Hope someone can help
Grtz

Hi, don't know if it will help, but try removing all nokia/ovi software from your computer and run Nokia PC cleaner, then re-install, this has worked for me when I've had connectivity problems (but on Vista) Currently have Widows 7 and both NSU and Ovi suite work fine. You can also download drivers from Nokia web site !
Good Luck

N97 software update drama

Every single time I attempt to update my n97 it fails. Nokia Software Updater won't even pick up the phone at all. Ovi Suite detects the phone and detects an update is available gets to the update part of the process and fails calling it a 'connection problem'
current version 12.0.024
trying to get 20.0.019

N97 Software update client always says "all applic...

Could any one tell me why, since I updated to v 20, my Software update client always says “all applications are up-to-dated”?
It was not important until now with Maps 3.3.
I ma running v20.0.19, RM-505 Language set: Spain (05), unbranded
Thanks

Because all software ARE up to date on your phone. The n97 is not given the map 3.03 update. It will be available for the n97 via a firmware update which has just recently been released. If it is not available for your phone, then your product code must not yet be available for updating.
@chanchan05 - Not sure regarding the map update... I have an N97 (not mini) and when I was checking for latest software updates, I received the map update on 28 Jan.... No official news from Nokia on FW 2.1...

How to Update Musica Library in iTunes

I choose to manually sync the music in my PC to my Ipod so my iTunes is really outdated regarding the music in my Ipod, how can I update the iTunes list only? Thank you

I mean that I unchecked the option for iTunes to syncronize automatically with my Ipod I choose to manually sync my Ipod with only the folders of music I want to add. I use two computers one at home one at work, I dont use very often the PC at work, but I want the Music Library in the iTunes in that PC to have a list of all my songs currently on my Ipod. Because I use mainly my PC at home the music library in the PC at work doesnt have all the music library currently on my Ipod, how can I update the music library so both are equal?

Why wont my white N97 software update?

My software version is V10.0.012, I have been trying to update to the 11.2.012 for 3 days but without success. Can anybody tell me why this is and when I can expect my white unbranded N97 will be updated?
Another question, I answer my calls by pressing the green light/button and end the call by pressing the red light/button. I have read on other threads users sliding the unlock or answer on the screen, I tried this a few times and found it inconsistent, how do most users prefer to answer and end their calls?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks again mouserider, I'll just keep trying every couple of days for the software update. I would have thought Nokia would at least have the common sense to give information regarding phones that can upgrade and those that are due at a later date. Sky TV recently updated software on the HD's and they clearly made it clear that certain serial numbers would be updated first and the rest would be updated in batches. Nokia could have easily given similar information if they chose to.
I'm now wondering if I should have kept the iphone 3gs, my brother loves his ihpone and now he keeps telling me I made a huge mistake in my choice.

Update 7 library gone for good?

Installed latest update. Library disappeared. Made the mistake of installing update again. Posts say to revert to last library xml document, but this does not work for me- since I installed twice, the last one is as blank as the first. All files are on hard drive and can be opened individually, but library database is gone so itunes doesn't recognize their location. How can I rebuild the library so itunes will know i have these files?
