No connection types available

What version of Windows is being used? WinXP Pro
What Service Pack is installed? SP2
What version of PC Suite is installed? 6.82.22.0
What is the connection method, cable, bluetooth or IR? cable
If you are getting an error message, it would be a good idea if you could let us know the exact error messa ge you are getting.
"There is no available connection type and therefore connection to the phone cannot be established."
"Failed to detect available connection types. Please reinstall Nokia Phone Suite"
and when i go to manage connections, I get:
"Connection to Nokia PC Suite failed. Please reinstall Nokia PC Suite (Code: InitIMediaControl2)
I've reinstalled several times but I still can't connect.

I sent an email about this to Nokia today. I will await a response. Here is the email in part as I am having the same issue and have tried EVERYTHING to resolve it to no avail. You'd think they would have resolved it by now after four months of the start of this thread:
****************** My Email to Tech *******************
My phone model is a Nokia 6265i. I'm running Windows Vista and using an authentic Nokia CA-53 cable. I have tried NUMEROUS times to connect my phone to my PC. I also tried connecting to my friend's computer (who is running XP with SP2). It wouldn't respond in XP either. I also tried purchasing a MiniSD card for the phone. It then at least acknowledged that there was some sort of connection to the PC, however the prompt I was getting was not that mentioned in the instructions (which I have read numerous times over, very carefully).
I got the prompt "Use phone as storage device?" with the options "OK" and "Exit." I have tried both responses while trying to connect to the PC Suite version 6.83.8.7 (downloaded on May 17, 2007) via the "Get Connected!" button and neither have worked. I have brought my phone to my service provider (Cricket Communications) to troubleshoot as well. None of my efforts have yielded any results. ANY results. I get absolutely no response from my PC whatsoever that anything has even been connected. Not even in the device manager or My Computer.
I have also tried two different cables. My last resort is to upgrade the phone firmware which is currently version:
V HL100V1000.nep
17-05-06
RM-66
(c)NMP
listed in exactly that way on the phone. But I do not believe this should be a problem. Or perhaps something is wrong with the phone itself, but I do not see how that could be either.
I have not made some stupid simple mistake such as plugging in the cable during installation either. I have been through this numerous times, with & without Nokia tech support via phone.
I am STRONGLY inclined to blame the software. I think that PC Suite 6.83.8.7 is not as Vista compatible (or XP for that matter) as stated on the download site.

PC Suite "There is no connection type available th...

Hi All
I just purchased a Nokia 6300 and want to sync to my PC. When I run the software the messge on the bottom of the screen states " No phone connected" When I hit the Get connected button next to the message the connection wizzard opens, then I click next and an error message appears " No connection type available therefore connection to the phone cannot be established. The wizard will now close "
Can anyone help solve the problem
Gateway 1615, vista, pc suite 6.84.10.3, McAfee security enter, mozilla firefox browser,
Thanks
Cousinvinney

Success!
From the current and other comments I made it after 3 days efforts on and off!
This is the sequence of events from the start.
Start Point
A working earlier installation for a Nokia 6230i but which would do everything for my new Nokia 6300 except Sync (Menus greyed out.
Before doing anything else, make an image of your system partition (I use Acronis so you can restore the known working image if anything really goes wrong.
Downloading new versions for the new phone does not work fro this staring point! Don't even go there.
Step1
Uninstall PC Suite
Reboot your machine
Installing the new software will still not work yet. You will hit the Problem with Registry key(s) access.
You now need to delete all the REGISTRY KEYS associated with Nokia . They don't all have Nokia in the key name!
Go to the RUN box and type regedit
Browse HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes and right click and Delete every folder with Ncl at the start (e.g. NclPhonet)(I had 3 of them)and every Nokia entry (I had 1) and the Secure Platform key folder.
Exit regedit
Also, and this appeared to be the final problem I had which may have been left around from earlier aborted installs) in Windows Explorer go to ProgramFiles, and manually delete the PC_Comnectivity_Solutions folder (if it exists).
Now I installed from the CD provided with the Nokia 6300 phone and it installed without an issue and the bluetooth connection picked up the phone and BINGO the SYNC menu was not greyed out!
Phew!
All synced up now again and phone is usable!
Hope that helped.
I take no responsibility for any problems you may experience in trying to follow what I did, as my system my be different to yours , but the backup image should get you back to square 1 if you really mess up.
Cheers, and thanks to all the other guys on the blog for their hints.

PC Suite - no USB and Serial Connection Type avail...

I have been trying to solve this problem for days now. I have Windows XP and Nokia 5310. After I installed Nokia PC Suite, there is no USB or Serial connection type in the Connection Manager; it only has Blue Tooth and Infrared conection available. I have install and uninstalled PC suite and used PC Suite Cleaner to clean the installation. I also went into the add and remove program in the control panel and click on "change" to fix the Nokia Connection Manager and Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver. It still didn't work. The thing is that the first time when installed PC Suite on my laptop, it did have USB connection option. Later after uninstalled PC Suite and reinstalled it, it start to have this problem. I am extremly frustrated. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem by following your instruction below:
Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
Reboot your computer
Download and install PC Suite here.
Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
Maybe when I uninstalled Chinese version of PC suite, the order in which it was uninstalled was not the one you suggested above. So，I followed your instruction and uninstall order to uninstall PC Suite again. I also uninstalled all the antivirus, spyware, and firewall before I reinstall the PC Suite. It worked; then, I reinstalled all the other security software again after I had reinstalled the PC Suite. Although it worked, I still didn't know what exactly cause the problem the first place, PC Suite version, Security protection software, or the order which it was uninstalled? All it matters is it's working.

PC Suite says no connection types available - but ...

I've a 6500 Slide. I've installed the latest PC Suite 7.0.8.2.
I have Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
I used to be able to connect with PC Suite and update (etc.) but recently, after the most recent PC Suite upgrade, it doesn't recognise 'CONNECTION TYPES' on my machine.
The USB cable and port work fine - in Windows I can drag and drop files.
So why won't PC Suite recognise the cable and allow me to use the mobile through PC Suite?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice.
I've removed batteries and SIM cards from the mobile etc.
All help gratefully received.
Thanks

I have the same problem too...may be its the new pc suits problem....
i uninstalled the new one and installed an older version but my problem got worse...now my N70 hardware wount even install...
It says, unable to install n70 USB phone parent ....
Please give a solution...

Nokia PC Suite finds no connection types

Hi,
first of all, the link to the PC Suite FAQ in the sticky thread at the top of the forum is broken.
I have a recurring problem with every version of PC Suite I installed during the previous 6 months on my Win XP Pro SP3 machine: When PC Suite is installed, everything works fine, but after some reboots, from one day to another, suddenly there are no more connection types available. Normally, you can select three connections types: cable, infrared, or bluetooth. All three are greyed out, and remain unselectable.
Reinstalling the Nokia cable driver doesn't help, repairing PC Suite doesn't either. I have to completely deinstall PCSuite, run PC Suite cleaner, reboot my PC, install everything from scratch, and then it works again for some days. During the last six months, I had to do this procedure 8 times.
Something seems to be terribly broken with PC Suite, at least on this very configuration. What can I do to prevent this? The version of PC Suite always is the latest one available when this error occurred, and I did a reinstallation.

As per one of my friends suggestion,
Just Go to "services.msc"
Search for a service called Servicelayer and Make it start automatically
Now Your PC Suite or Ovi Suite will detect the connections in your PC..

PC Suite - there is no available connection type

OK,
I'm running XP SP2 on an IBM t30 laptop. Looking to have all 3 connection methods available. Bluetooth is Widcomm 3.0.x and PC Suite version is 6.8.22.
Initially installed PC Suite fine, but had problems with getting bluetooth connection (IRComm and Cable were fine). Read that best way round this was the reinstall after doing some fiddling with the bluetooth setup. Duly reinstalled, only now I get error when I start the connection manager or manage connections. either "there is no available connection type" for the first or "connection to PC suite failed code:Init IMediaControl2".
In order to try and deal with this I have, Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Uninstalled the app and run the PC Suite cleanup tool 3.3 reinstalled the app. Uninstalled the app, run PC suite cleanup, removed all nokia keys from the registry, run cleanup again and reinstalled. The problem persists, my patience does not.
Help?
Dom

My experience may also be relevant, and since it took me two whole days to remedy it (call me slow, but I'm persistent), I'll share it. I too stopped being able to get a Bluetooth connection in PC Suite, even though the PC could see the phone (6230) in Bluetooth settings and I could see some of the folders on the phone.
I uninstalled and reinstalled PC Suite countless times, did all the spring cleaning I was told to do, nothing. So I thought maybe there is a problem with the Bluetooth stack.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, which uses Bluetooth stuff from Toshiba, so I went to their site, http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/. It said to check out Device Manager, and, what do you know, all the Toshiba Bluetooth drivers were missing. I have no idea how, but anyway, I downloaded a new stack at http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php
I installed it, cross my fingers, prayed to the Bluetooth Fairy, and YES YES YES! It works. The end.

"There is no available connection type...."

I'm running Vista Home Premium 6, Service pack 1.
I got a Nokia 6300 and installed PC Suite from the disc included. There was an option to install the latest update but I decided to just install the disc version.
When I hooked up the phone with the USB cable, the phone responded with "Select mode." However PC Suite did not recognize any phone connected so could not progress.
(I asked the service person at the store where I purchased the phone and he said it's because I haven't made the right settings therefore the computer can't recognize the phone. But I couldn't even get to the point where settings are made!)
I uninstalled PC Suite, then reinstalled, but downloaded the latest version - English 7.0.9.2. It all installed fine, and I clicked the "Click here to connect a phone" button. When I clicked the "next" button in the window that opened, I got the following message:
"There is no available connection type and therefore connection to phone cannot be established. The wizard will exit."
I uninstalled and tried it again, but with the same result. When I close PC Suite, I can't open it again unless I right click and choose "Run as Administrator."
One note - the subsequent installations went much more quickly than the initial one, so I think there are things that were not removed with the uninstall.
Hopefully someone can help me solve this....? Thanks in advance.

Missing Connection Types in Report Data Source Properties

I am running three installations of SharePoint 2013 with SQL 2012 for Business Intelligence, with Kerberos working.
I have been having intermittent issues with SQL Reporting Services in a multi-server configuration, but finally had it working in all three environments. We discovered many of our issues were caused by master page customizations which we have now disabled
temporarily while we work on function issues.
However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened. Most everything appears to still be working, except Reporting Services. I have verified that features are enabled
in both the farm and the site collection, as well as insured managed content types are being allowed on the target document libraries. I also verified the Reporting Service properties and database connections. However, I have found two clear symptoms
which I can find no other information regarding (in logs or in online searches):
1) If we try to create a new "Report Data Source" using the SharePoint UI, it will open a new Data Source Properties window, but in the "Data Source Type" field, there are no values available for me to select my connection type (e.g.,
Microsoft SQL Server).
2) In Central Administration, while administering the Reporting Services Service Application, I can manage a majority of the settings, including System Settings, Manage Jobs, Key Management, etc. However, if I click on the link for "E-mail Settings,"
I get the dreaded "Sorry Something went wrong screen," with an error saying that "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object."
So I am hoping someone has an idea of where I can look for additional information on this issue, or even better, knows what I am missing to get Reporting Services functional again in this environment!
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Elohir

However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened.
Hi Elohir,
I assume you are installing Reporting Services SharePoint mode for SharePoint 2013, you need to:
1. Install "Reporting Services – SharePoint" and "Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products" on the SharePoint server that the SSRS service will run on. All other SP servers only need the "Reporting Services
add-in for SharePoint Products."
2. Run the Insall-SPRSService and Install-SPRSServiceProxy on Central Admin and SSRS server.
3. Start SSRS Service only on desired SSRS servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
Since the issue occurs only to one of the environments, please provide more information about your multi-server configuration, and point out the server where the issue occurs.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer. It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection. I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes. It does not give an error message as to why its doing this. Just says it encountered a problem. I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working. Its extremely frustrating.
I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Which connected type do you recommend?

Ｈｉ，
Which "connected type" do you recommend?
Why is it recommended?
Ｔｈａｎｋｓ,
Ｙ．

It depends.
The basic connection type uses the jdbc thin (type 4) driver. This means that you don't need oracle client software installed - all you need is SQLDeveloper. The down side is that the thin driver doesn't support all the available features. Things like operating system authentication, fast connection failover, and some of the more complex data types are not supported.
The TNS connection type uses the OCI driver. This means that you must have an oracle client installed (and it must match the version of the jdbc driver provided with SQLDeveloper.) This lets you use more features.
I always use Basic connections, but I don't need any of the missing features.

"Cannot use the connection type ...."

Nokia 6233
Windows XP SP2
LaunchApplication.exe v 6.82.70.1
Bluetooth "i.Tech BlueCON U"
O2 Bluetooth Dongle Drivers
Using Bluetooth OK to download photos to PC, but no other function so far.
Trying Nokia PC Suite to perform various functions - failure in all cases, common message is "Cannot use the connection type. Check that the needed hardware, software and drivers are available".
No clues anywhere as to what is needed.
Bluetooth clearly works. Nokia PC Suite can't use it.
Totally stuck - wish to use PC connection to synchronise address books.
Help, please.

Hi,
I think that PC Suite is not support your Bluetooth driver. Here you can find what drivers are supported:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=114
Anyway, if Microsoft's BT driver support your BT HW, you can try to that stack also...
So, if you want to try to use MS BT driver:
1. Go to Control Panel, System, Hardware and Device Manager.
2. Open Bluetooth Devices, select that device, click Action, Uninstall and OK.
3. Click Action and Scan for hardware changes.
(windows should automatic install MS BT driver)

What is the connection type FILEF?

I have created a lot of connectors with the connection type "JCO".
Recently I notice a different connection type FILEF.
What is it? And in what circumstance is it used?
Thanks!

Linda,
It is available in RAR so you can run offline mode risk analysis. Basically, via this connector RAR can support legacy ERP without providing RTA. Here is a link do a detailed document:

Info required on adding new Connection type

I am trying to create an addin for a new connection Type "Oracle Rdb" and have been able to get as far as having my new connection panel available in connections and can bind to my database etc.
I can also use SQL Worksheet to query the Rdb Database.
However I am having problems getting the Connections tree to display any of my tables etc.
I have based my addin on the various extension addind (MySQL, ACCESS) etc, and have provided the appropriate XML files for queries, editing and viewing.
I am using the latest version of SQLDeveloper available on the web 1.1.2.25
build Mina 25-79
When I drill down on my connection , only TABLES and VIEWS come up on the node and then when I drill down on either of these nodes, SQLDeveloper does issue a JDBC database metadata getTables() call which my JDBC drivers return a list of the tables in the database.
But this is where it stops, no tables come up , no view come up in the tree.
Is the process for creating new connection type Addins documented and if so where?
Is there any possibility to getting a debug version of the SQLDeveloper code so that I can see how and why the Connection overview tree does not get populated.
As the tree does not get populated I cannot check to see in the remaniing addin code is working ( ie the SQL statements as described in table.xml. views.xml etc)
any help will be greatly appreciated as my fore-head is now pretty flat with all the pound againt this brick wall I have donw over the last weeks!!!
jim

Thanks Barry.
I assume you mean the value returned by JDBC DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseProductName().
Well I did have "OracleRdb" in the XML files but the driver currently returns "Rdb" ( interesting aside, we had to change the value returned by this method to get around a problem with JDeveloper, we used to return "OracleRdb" but JDeveloper used to see the leading "Oracle" and assumed it was oracle classic db not Rdb.!)
Anyway I changed the type in the XML files to "Rdb" and now I appear to failing even earlier. I dont even get to the stage where SQLDeveloper calls out to getTables().
But what is happening is the following query is now being issued by SQLDeveloper and of course fails when Rdb tries to parse it as it is not a valid Rdb statement.
declare
nm owa.vc_arr;
vl owa.vc_arr;
begin
nm(1) := 'SERVER_PORT';
vl(1) := '80';
owa.init_cgi_env( 1, nm, vl );
end" )
Why would SQLDeveloper now think that the database driver etc can handle OWA type calls?????
jim

No connection types available
