Nokia N8 music transfer problem

Hi!
I bought yesterday Nokia N8 and I tried to start music player with some default music. But there was no default music in there...
Today, I've installed Ovi Suite and with Suite I send some music to N8 (USB connection, Ovi Suite type of connection) and Ovi Suite said it sends music to the device but N8 constantly show 'Transferring music' and I shut down it.
After reset I didn't see any music in N8 Music Player, but in Ovi Suite I saw some obviously default music and music that I've send (??) ... OK.... I decided to delete everything when I did it... then I saw music in the device in Music Player (one song Summertown) and I tried to delete it but it was mission impossible...
I tried to find it through Windows Explorer (Win 7) but I only found folders of my music... empty, but there's no Summertime song there....
Then I tried to connect to laptop in multimedia transfer mode (till then I was connected in Ovi Suite mode) and then I started to Ovi Suite but when I click on Music tab I got message in Ovi Suite:
"Music initialization failed"
"Unable to initialize the music service on the device"
Please help me, how to move music to N8 in way that N8 recognized it? And how to remove that Summertime song??
Is only solution to reinstall Symbian?
Bye... I hope to hear someone soon!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you!
It was helpful...
Main problem was that I didn't refresh my music collection on N8 .... I knew that I'm supposed to do that... but... I didn't see refresh button ...
Problem with constant transferring still remains in Ovi Suite mode, but I haven't that kind of problem in Mass Storage mode...
Maybe device should be more straightforward... For now it is complicated ...
Bye, thank you all for advices!

  • Nokia N95 music transfer problem

    Ive already posted in a wrong section but...
    How do i transfer music - because when i try to link it up with windows media player it says there is no space on my phone, while there is 900MB free still. I also tried linking it to Nokia Music Program, and that also said my phone had no memory - and i could not browse the phone to findwhich part where to save it.

    To link it to WMP you need to select "Music Tranfer" as the USB mode.
    You can also just use "File Tranfer" or "mass storage" USB mode to just copy files across from Windows directly into the Memory card.
    Be advised Music can only be tranferred into a memory card not the phone memory.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Nokia 5800 music uploading problem

    Hey there, I have had alot of trouble transfering music to my phone. It transfers and plays fine, but when i transfer the songs/albums, most of them aren't what I named them on my pc and a few of my songs get sorted in with random albums
     I posted on here a few days back and I was given a solution which worked perfectly (Transfering by inserting the phone memorycard into my pc, and refreshing library when transfer is complete.) the albums were exactly as i named them and so were the songs. Once i tried to upload more, it all went wrong.
    Can anyone help me please
    Thanks,
     Paul

    I have the same issue with track playback.
    Although I hear the popping only occasionally, it does not matter what format the file is in, it happens from time to time randomly and although disappointing, it does not detract too much from my enjoyment of the music.
    A more serious and fatal error that is now occurring is the freezing of playback once a file completes and tries to advance to advance to the next track.
    This became a problem only recently as of July 2010. I have owned the phone since October of 2009 and have never had any issues with the handset. And indeed, have recommended and gushed over the features and ease of use of the 5800. It should be noted that the player freezes only when I play “All Songs” either randomly or from a playlist. Or, when playing even by Album or Artist, when I select next track or previous track, the player will freeze and not shut down. I am left to turn the phone off and on again to reset the player.
    The phone is fully updated with the latest firmware released to the Americas market. And I use the latest Ovi Suite program for phone management. I have tried the suggested fixes of reset, restore, re-update, and even have reformatted the memory card. All  of this, to no avail.
    I have noticed that the Americas market is behind an update or two as to firmware and I cannot access the latest and greatest thru any Nokia website. So if I must I can be patient and wait my turn. But, if someone has an actual hard fix for this specific problem, I would be most grateful. Please, no guesses or “it may be” suggestions as I have gone thru them all already.
    I know I’m not the only one with this problem as the boards threads are becoming dense enough to knit a sweater.

  • Music transfer problem - senuti

    I had originally asked if anyone could help me with my ipod - it says it's playing but the song never starts. It seems others are having this problem too! In case it cannot be resolved I want to transfer all my music from my ipod to my mac itunes library (so if a new ipod is needed i can simply drag them in). One helpful person suggested Senuti, so i downloaded it and the songs seemed to copy to my Music folder without a hitch.
    However, when I try to drag the files into iTunes, only some will work. A huge amount of my songs will not go back into my mac iTunes library! Can anyone advise me what to do? Should i try another programme?
    I just want to make sure all my music can be transferred in one lump as many of my songs are split between computers! Should I re-run senuti? has anyone ever experienced this?
    Any help is MUCH appreciated!

    thanks for the feedback! I'm new to all this, is this something i can download? where do i get it?

  • Nokia 5800xm music player problem

    i m using nokia 5800 xm or 1&1/2 yr. my phone was working amzing but when i found a display problem in my phone i took it to nokia care centre ghatkopar mumbai. they changed my phone display as well as firmware from 31 to 50.from that day my phone is not working properly...it is not as bright as before by increasing brightness to full length.music player has option to find on net but not an internal memory find option, search option works to find internal memory but it is out of music player .

    WAITING FOR NEW UPDATE THANKING YOU

    1st take out battery for 10 min and try again
    If it still happens after installing firmware do these (these may delete data so back up your phone)
    1. Back up data and resintall firmware. Take out memory card and use disk check to clean out possible errors.
    2. If it does not work, format memory card
    2. If reinstall does not work, type in *#7370#
    3. If it still does not work, turn off phone, remove memory card and battery for 10 min, then reinsert. While booting up hold the green, red and camera keys until you see the country selection or language screen.

  • PC - Nokia 5530 music transfer

    I've made sure my USB mode is on 'Mass Storage' and have connected the mobile (5530) to my PC through the micro USB cable given.
    I have downloaded Nokia Music, but when I click on the mobile icon, it says 'Connecting your device' followed by two steps (not very useful, so disregard these two steps.)
    I've also checked in 'My computer', but have not found the icon for the mobile device or memory card.
    I have also ensured that the memory card is in place and properly fitted.
    I've reconnected the usb cable, but it still doesn't work.
    Any advice or help is appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    If you are using a Nokia mobile device this will need to be connected in Printing & Media mode.

  • Ipod photo - serious music transfer probleme. i need help please

    hi there.
    i have a problem that i cant resolve.
    i search and ask on french forum, but nobody could help me.
    actually, my ipod didnt want me to upload files over 6 minutes.
    an error message box used to pop up on itunes each time the delay of about 6 minutes music transfering exceed.
    here is the msg box:
    http://fr.audiofanzine.com/img/membres/normal/6/9/69236.png
    he told me that itunes couldnt read/write onm my ipod.
    that's false cause he could upload <6 minutes music transfering time.
    anyway i reeset my ipod, update it with ipod updater.
    and the problem is still the same.
    i still get this message.
    i tried with many kind of music, coming from diferent HD, but nothing to do.
    i tried to find a help from apple, but this stupid website is made for you not to find a way to contact them.
    if someone can help me, i would be glad...
    my ears need sounds...

    If you have already done so, have a look at this Knowledge Base article: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    If you have no success there I would try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have all your songs backed up in iTunes. A fresh installation of the software should sort things out: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • Music transfer problem: iPod computer

    I've got a song on my iPod nano I want to transfer to iTunes; but, drag-and-drop in iTunes won't work in the iTunes windows and I can't seem to locate the music files on my iPod to transfer them (There are Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Photos folders, but no Music folder). Am I overlooking something? Thanks for your help.
    - Mark G.

    The music folder is hidden deliberately, and even if you could do it, the files names and organisation has been changed so it makes it difficult to find a particular song.
    I take it as you want to transfer the track, you aren't doing on your machine you first synced it from. To do this, you'll have to run your iPod in manual sync mode otherwise the listing will be grayed out when you view it from iTunes, whether from your main machine, or any other machines you want to transfer to and from.

  • Nokia N96 music player problem

    Hi,
    I've had my N96 for a while now. The main reason i bought it is my music. I have updated to the latest firmware BUT the music player is still slow as. main problems are:
    1) playlists/etc taking ages to load.
    2) click on a song to play and the phone just waits then does not play the song and just goes to the end of playlists.
    3) i have to play every song by left click --> play --> on device cause of the above problem
    4) The worst problem is when the phone is playing a song. if i press back it honestly takes 3 minutes to go back to the playlist. so to avoid that i just press left click exit.
    is this related to general slowness of the phone? please tell me how to fix this issue and if its general phone slowness how to fix that too.
    oh and can i remove this music player and get another one? like another application to play my music. im seriously getting to the stage where i would like to throw this phone at a brick wall.

    Try to do a factory reset by keying *#7780#. Then updates music library. The phone needs time, for it is indexing all media files. Check also if their is some apps working in the background by press hold the menu key & close it, it slow down the indexing. Mines takes more than a week before it becomes snappy on music files.

  • Problems with Camera on Nokia n73 music edition

    I have a nokia n73 music edition and this is the issue
    When I slide down bac cover to open camera sometimes the I don't get image from back camera at all but only from front.
    Another this is that today I opened the camera and with the shouter I couldn't take pictures.
    I pressed it but nothing occured.
    I tried to update the software but no luck because it says that phone has newer software.
    I also when I go to the Camera through the main menu then it shows the video of front camera

    Format your memory card and try again. Remember to backup all your stuff in the memory card before formatting.
    If you still have problems, then try these options one by one:
    1. Turn off your phone and leave your battery out for 5-10min. Then, put them back in and turn on the phone.
    2. Restore factory settings: type *#7780# at the standby screen. Enter 12345 for the security code or the one you've changed it to.
    Before you try the next two steps, backup your phone memory using PC Suite.
    3. Soft reset: type *#7370#. Enter the security code when prompted
    4. Hard reset (Last resort, nothing else works): Turn off your phone, press and hold down these keys: 3, * and the call (Green) button. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the Nokia logo on the screen.
    If none of these work, then take it to the nearest Nokia Care Point.

    Think this problem in Nokia 5230 is due to wma files.Just backup n delete the wma files from memory card and try, it should work fine. BTW it was working fine till the last software update.After updating to v20.0.005 only prob came up.In fact there is problem even with files downloaded from Ovi music.
