Nokia 5500 and iTunes

I have a Nokia 5500 and have not been using the MP3 facility as did not have computer previously that accepted Nokia Music Manager software. We have now purchased an Apple iMac which of couse has iTunes as its music management software. I have used it to drag and drop a couple of songs onto my phone, but it is not recognising the artist or the album.
Do I need to load the Nokia software onto my Mac and use it instead or as well as the iTunes software?

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. Apple has used in iTunes their own DRM technology called "Fairplay".
DRM is a way to encrypt the songs (music tracks) so that they can be only used on devices Apple controls or software Apple controls.
It is a way for doing copy protection (or protecting the rights of music labels).
If you have Apple DRM protected songs, then they will only play in iTunes, on an iPod or iPhone.
You can also "burn" a CD with iTunes, and then "rip" the songs back to your PC as unprotected MP3 files, for example.
Apple also sells nowadays DRM-free music, but I think the songs are more expensive and not all iTunes music is yet available without DRM.

5500 and itunes

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to get music from my itunes library on to my 5500 Sport. I've tried bluetooth to no avail, and I've tried sending files to a memory card via a card reader, and that won't work either. I get a message saying "card reader cannot be modified".
I have the phone synced to the mac using a plugin, and everything works fine there.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Deggie, I have set the preference for my playlist, but my Nano is "over capacity" and does not synch, so I need to find a way to delete the songs already in the Nano to clear the space.

Nokia 5500 sport Keypad

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to go but.. I have a two month old Nokia 5500 and the rubber keypad has started to peel off. Is it possible to get a replacement keypad/cover? I feel the manufacturers warranty should cover this, but i'm not sure. Any advice?

nice link makingmark, but the thing is why should we need to replace it at $5 a time every couple of months?
My local service centre said that this was "cosmetic damage" and therefore not covered under my warranty.
I live in Hong Kong and we (like most places) have a law which protects consumers from being robbed by the unscrupulous.
Part of that law states that goods should be of "merchantable quality" and it further goes on to define merchantable quality as being "..as durable as it is reasonable to expect having regard to any description applied to them..."
Nokia describe their 5500 as "designed to be tough", "built for an active life" and "designed to withstand bumps, dust, and water splashes".
This description could reasonably lead me to believe that it is durable enough to withstand the rigours of three months being in my pocket while I get the bus to my office and back.
I have decided to launch a website petition to try and get a recall on this shoddy product.
I am also writing a letter to the Hong Kong Consumer Council and the I'll see if I can claim on the Small Claims Court.
I hate being duped and sold sub-standard gear - espoecially when Nokia has previously been so reliable.
I'll post the website once it is online - shouldn't take more than a day or two.

ISync and a Nokia 5500 Sport

I have looked and looked and looked, but I can't find anything that will allow me to Sync my 5500 with my mac. A few apps out there claim to do it, but reports from those who have tried are generally poor, and the apps cost!
Has anyone, ever, managed to Sync the two?

hello Stevebb,
I am not sure if you will get this message, but I am wondering if you have had any luck in synching your Nokia 5500 with your mac. I have not been able to do so yet and I want to ask you about it.
On your post it says that it was answered and therefore I wanted to know what the answer(s) was(were) is possible.
Thank you in advance.

Theme on memory card for Nokia 5500

Hello!
I got a problem with the nokia 5500. On the memory card are two themes that I would like to use, but the size of the memory card is to little(64MB) for me to use it normally. The problem is that I can't move the themes from the memory card to the telephone memory on the phone, and when I check it in both PC Suite and Filexchange modus(not sure what it's called in english, but it's one of the three options you get when you insert the data-cable) I can't see any of the two that are on the memory card(unless they got some special name, they are onle called Theme 2 and 3 on the phone). What can I do to move them, or are they locked to the memory card?
Regards,
Thomas

is they default themses present on memory card???
If no then remove themses from memory card and reintsall them in phone memory from their source sis file///

Nokia 5500 problem.

I'm not good in English.
I have some problem with Nokia 5500.
The bluetooth headset is very low sound.
I think because firmware. (I use 4.60)
I try to pair many of BT with my phone
and try same one with friend's mobile (Nokia N73).
With myphone 100% of sound compare with N73 it's about 30%
How do I do that?
Thank you for answer.

Well in fact I've just bought a new memory card, but I don't think the card is the reason since some of the applications I've installed on card always work. I've noticed that the ones not working are painted red in "Application maneger". It seems that phone will not open apps it don't trusts. I haev recently updated phone software to v3.55.

TVU and iTunes Conflict

iTunes and TVU have severe conflict issues. anytime TVU is open, even if it is not running, iTunes songs or videos will skip terribly.

Hi Mlena,
Even i have both Ovi Suite and itunes installed in my Windows 7 desktop. I am able to run both the softwares simultaneoulsly.
Looks like the issue is specific to your PC. You could try uninstalling both itunes and Ovi Suite and install one by one both again.
For OVi Suite you need to follow the below steps.
Uninstall the following Programs, if any, from Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Also a screen-shot of the error will help
Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
Nokia Ovi Suite
PC Connectivity Solution
Later download and install the latest OVi Suite from the following location.
http://www.ovi.com/suite
After OVi suite installation , restart the PC then install the itunes.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
If still issue persists, Please provide your Mobile details (*#0000#) and your PC details.
Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...
Regards,
Diwa

i had nokia n8 and now i want to transfer my contacts from nokia to my new i phone 5, i set up i tune and i cloud account but i don't know how to use do it. i have windows 7 and no outlook

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Sync Nokia n97 with iTunes?

I've read many different ways and some which don't seem to work so here goes!
I have a PC with the up to date iTunes where ALL my music is stored. How do I sync my Nokia n97 with iTunes?
Any help is appreciated!

There's a free app / iTune plugin that makes your N97 appear as a playlist in Itunes but you can't (or couldn't) then create separate playlists for use on the phone.
I've found the best way for me is to do the following:
Create your playlist in Itunes
Create the PLaylist in Ovi Music
Darg and drop the files from itunes to Ovi
Sync the Ovi Playlist with your N97
Bit painful but it works
Hope it helps

Nokia N95 and OS X 10.3.9

I'm currently running 10.3.9 and consequently iSync 1.5
I have just got myself a new Nokia N95 and did a bit of searching for a phone that would sync with a Mac, the N95 had support from Nokia - all good. However, I'm an idiot and didn't check which version of OSX you needed to use the Nokia plugin. It needs iSync v2 and consequently I can't even get my computer to recognise the existence of my phone in any form let alone sync.
I'd really like to be able to sync the phonebook and more importantly calender, and also to use the USB cable to import photos from the phone to computer and to put files from the computer onto the phone. I was hoping that the laptop would at least see the memory card as an external devise and be able to transfer on and off it but apparently not.
Is there any software out there that can get an iBook running 10.3.9 to sync with an N95 at all? I wouldn't even mind paying a small amout for the new version of iSync but it looks like you have to spend $129 to upgrade to Tiger which I really don't want to do when Leopard will be coming out soon and I'm considering an upgrade or new machine then.
Help? Please?

Until you either obtain Mac OS X 10.4.9 at a minimum, or Mac OS X 10.5 when it ships soon, you are stuck.
A Nokia N95 is not natively supported by iSync, and requires a plugin which itself requires iSync 2.4 Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later. The architecture in prior versions of iSync 2 and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.8 is inadequate to support current plugins, and does not exist at all in iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X releases 10.0 through 10.3.9. There is no workaround to this situation.
You can access the memory card and transfer media files bidirectionally using Nokia Multimedia Transfer beta release 1.1, but it too requires Max OS X 10.4.9, iTunes 7 and iPhoto 6 or later releases of both the OS and these applications.

Nokia 5500 - Browsing tips

Tip 1! Goto: Menu: My Own: Web. This will use the S60 browser (installed on the microSD card) to access the internet with a screen display the same as a PC. Mush better than the "services" browser....
Tip 2! ...then goto: Options: Zoom , Decrease font, for easier viewing of the page with limited scrolling...

Thanks for the tip and because no other repair centre close decided to email Nokia this is the response...
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
In response to your email, I wish to assure you that all Nokia products undergo a very thorough quality assurance program with extensive research and development. Nokia maintains the most stringent quality controls available so that we can confidently provide one of the most reliable products in the industry. Hence, there are no generic issues with this or any other Nokia mobile phones.
all Nokia phones come with a 12-month Nokia Limited Warranty from the date of purchase. Should your Nokia 5500 Sport have an issue during the warranty period and is in a warrantable condition, Nokia will assess the mobile phone at our Nokia Care Centre under warranty. However, should your Nokia 5500 Sport need to be assessed outside of the 12-month Limited Warranty, a minimal charge will be incurred.
I cannot believe I have to pay to fix an obvious manufactor fault !
