Nokia PC suite vs nokia ovi suite

hello,
i'm new to this discussion forum. not a technology expert as well. I have an X6 32G. just wanting to know what is the difference b/w PC suite & ovi suite. I am currently using ovi suite on my laptop (windows XP). keep seeing this PC suite thing on nokia website, but have no clue what it is. is it better than ovi suite?

Ovi Suite is a successor to PC Suite. I use both. PC Suite I use mainly for backups etc and use ovi suite for syncing contacts music maps etc. I suggest you go to the Nokia support pages for your region and download and install PC Suite. Once installed you can then read the help files for the program.

Nokia N9 and Ovi suite - when will Ovi suite suppo...

Hi
Yesterday I got my nokia N9, Im totally in love with the phone. So much better than my iPhone!
However, Im a business user and are dependent on synchronising my phone's contact book and calendar with my pc. Nokia Ovi suite currently do not support the N9.. When will it?

Nokia N9 does not support Ovi Suite, but there is new lightweight and simple to use Nokia Link application for your PC or Mac: www.nokia.com/nokialink . With this application you can easily copy photos, videos and music to your N9.
For Outlook contacts and calendar you can use the Mail for Exhange account, that will also synch your email. You can find guidance here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-6BE14793-...
For directly syncing contacts from your old phone to the N9 you can use the widely compatible contact syncing. You can initiate this from the Phonebook> Options> Import contacts or from the Settings:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-D546BDA9-...
For preloading maps, you no longer need to have your computer, but can do this directly from the N9's Map application. From the settings you can choose> Manage maps> App maps. There you can preload country maps over WLAN connection.

Nokia 5800 V60, Why no Ovi Suite or NSU?

Why is this update not available on PC via Ovi Suite or NSU? I do not use OTA updates due to poor experiences in the past.

Users are having problems with the OTA update version, and can do nothing to re-install the update since Nokia has not made it available via PC.

Nokia X6 connection problem with ovi suite

I had recenly bought a nokia x6 16gb and I have connection problem with my ovie suite.I am using cable to connect to the pc.When I open my ovie store it says connect ur device under the ovie suit toolbar. And I connect it but it actually worked but it work for about 5sec and it auto dissconnected.I had tried reconnecting it but turn out the same.But when I am using my laptop and I connect it using Bluetooth it work (ONLY FOR TRANSFER SONG AND PHOTO).I cant update my phone software because I am using bluetooth.I also tried using cable to my laptop but it is same like how I connected to my pc.I am using Windows XP SP2(PC).Thank you for those who helped me and spending time reading it.(Reason=Because I wanna update my phone Software).Again Tks

Hi PhoneNerdies,
Firstly, I recommend to update your Windows XP to Service pack 3. Nokia Ovi Suite do not support fully the XP with service pack 2.
Then use the latest Ovi Suite available, current version is 2.2.0.245 and available from Nokia.com and Ovi.com download pages. You Ovi Suite version you find from help menu and About the Ovi Suite tag.
Then update your X6 to the latest SW available.
After these steps your X6 would work fine.

Nokia 5230 Cannot Sync with Ovi Suite

Every time I connect my phone to my computer to sync up with Ovi Suite and click on sync, it doesn't sync and a message pops up to tell me to reconnect or fix the Bluetooth. This has been happening to me ever since I got the phone 3 months ago and only once have I properly synced up my phone with my music (which now doesn't work either and doesn't pick up on the files on my memory card that I added through syncing with Ovi Suite, and every time I connect with the setting of mass storage it tells me I don't have enough room or shows the files ) I would like to restore it to the original factory settings but I have some important files on my phone that I would like to back up before I do that.

Can I sync two Nokia phones with Ovi Suite?

I have 2 different Nokia phones. I'd like to save my data to my PC, so I've just downloaded and installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
When I connected the second phone successfully, there was a green link that said something like "Get tips on syncing several phones with Ovi Suite". However when I clicked there, nothing happened.
When I click "Help->Nokia Ovi Suite Help" on the toolbar, nothing happens, no help tips.
The first phone synced all 82 photos and Contacts and messages to Ovi Suite.
I created a new album with that phone's name, and dragged those pictures from "All" to the new album, to try & keep them organized.
When I connected the second phone all of the Contacts synced (there were a lot) and now they are mixed in with the contacts from the first phone. However the photos would not sync. Then a few photos synced, making a total of 156 shown in All (which included the 82 photos from the first phone). When I would click "Sync" nothing visible happened.
But I did see the photos from the second phone on the PC. I did drag them from the PC into the album created with the name of the second phone.
Now when I look at the photo album with the first phone's name, it says "You have no photos or videos in this album, Drag photos and videos to this album." Yikes! But they are still on my PC.
This is very confusing. I agree with the others, Nokia PC Suite worked well, Ovi Suite seems very confused.
Is any of this uploaded to my online Ovi account?
Thanks for your advice.

ronni333 & boing,
Somewhere on the nokia ovi website it says you need to use seperate windows logins. Have one login for work and use that when you use ovi to sync your work phone. Other login to sync your personal phone. I lost the link to that webpage, but that is about all it said.
ronni333 - I also had problem with ovi help, the link appeared to be empty. I was using Google Chrome to surf the net. Problem solved by using Internet Explorer instead.
Hope this info helps you guys.
Cheers,

Can't update nokia e72 via ovi suite

So there is "maps data update application" on available updates list. I connect my device via USB, push the "next" button on the updates screen and it says that my sim card is missing when its not. It also says "please change the USB mode on your device to PC suite mode" on the bottom left corner, where the phone pic is, but im already using PC suite mode. Restarted the phone, made sure I'm using General profile - nothing helps. Any ideas whats wrong?

well i have updated my maps and my maps data via ovi suite numerous times, ovi suite is pcsuite+NSU+Maps updater+map loader, its an all in one and if you are using an updated version of maps, it will show you a prompt to update in the software update tab, so basically it does update ur maps version too but in this case i don't really know what the problem is, might be an OS conflict or might be a firmware error too. I recommend that you run ovi suite using adminstrator privileges on vista/7,right click on the program icon and then selct run as adminstrator, diable any antivirus program that you are using and ten try updating using ovi suite. If this doesnt work then please soft reset ur phone using the phone *#7370#, this should fix most firmware glitches, please backup all data on phone memory before performing a soft reset, these steps should fix all problems that you've mentioned.

Nokia OVI Suite Error - Unable to read the tracks

I have puchased Nokia X6, which comes with unlimited music download. I have registered my PC with this subscription and downloaded music from the store.
However recently the Nokia OVI suite Software 3.0.0.290 gives a error on clicking the Music section - Operation Failed "Unable to read the tracks"

I have OVI Suite 3.1.1, and a Nokia 5230, which works with OVI suite only while there is no Micro SD card in the phone. This was the same with OVI 2, as well. WIth the card inserted, the /private/10208913 folder is regenerated every time the card is plugged back into the phone, and a "New Hardware Detected - MTP" message appears every minute or so, which also denies accessing the phone through windows explorer despite selecting the Mass Memory Mode. I've been unable to load any new music to the phone for months, despite countless retries.
I have win XP, and a crumbling confidence in Nokia. A tragedy that I have bought an X6 for the other half, which I have not had time to set up yet, and another 5230 for my father which was also several days toil of installs and reinstalls of OVI Suite and OVI Music on a Vista PC. Nokia OVI just seems like nothing but constant hard work, and what I could have earned in overtime would have paid for a much slicker product. Unless Nokia can sort this out, rather than relying on discussion groups to try to help user groups resolve what seems to be a flakey product, from my limited experience, I don't hold out much hope for this product line.

Nokia N9 - 600 euros and its Ovi Suite Calendar su...

For a phone priced at 600 euros you would expect to have the same feature as the lesser phone versions released by Nokia.
For how long is Nokia thinking it can fool people with good hardware but lousy software support ?
People will catch up and skip on the Nokia phones.
Untill then, is Nokia saying that a 600 euros phone will not have Calendar synch support in ovi Suit ?

Nokia N9 does not support Ovi Suite, but there is new lightweight and simple to use Nokia Link application for your PC or Mac: www.nokia.com/nokialink . With this application you can easily copy photos, videos and music to your N9.

Download and install Ovi suite:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
Connect your phone via USB Cable, select "PC Suite" mode on phone when it prompts.
Wait for "Support Softwares" to install, (you might need to accept installation on phone screen), When Ovi suite tells you, its now connected.
On right side you'll see connect to internet, click that, First time it'll ask for settings, (Select your operator and Country) click ok.
Now every time you just need to connect it to PC, in "PC Suite" Mode, open ovi suite, and hit "Connect to internet".

Nokia Ovi Suite 3.1.1.90 hanging on "Signing In" w...

Hi,
I have been trying to get the latest Software Update for my E7 for about 6 weeks. I log in to Nokia Ovi Suite successfully and then when I go to get the latest update it asks me to sign in again, which I do and then it hangs there showing "Signing In". I have left this over night and come down the next morning to see the same thing. It is obviously starting to really p*** me off. What actually makes it even more annoying is that I have to come to a forum to try to resolve the problem as I can't find a contact for Nokia.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There can sometimes be issues in downloading the phone sw but if your problem has gone on for several weeks, it's then something else. There may be something wrong in your Ovi Suite installation and you could try to fix it by running the uninstall command and selecting the repair option during uninstall. Check also that the internet connectivity is working OK on your PC and that you can connect to your Nokia account when prompted by Ovi Suite.
If the problem persists, you could try upgrading to the latest Nokia Suite beta version which can be found at Nokia Betalabs:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-beta?req=true
It's worth checking also if the over-the-air update for your phone becomes available sometimes later on in Applications > SW Update menu. The OTA packages don't necessarily become available at the same time with the PC updates.
