Nokia suite - restoring of contacts without phone

I used to own a nokia N70 and still have backup files on my pc. Does anyone know a way of getting to the info on Nokia suite without having to connect a nokia phone. I have some phone numbers that i really need to get to.
Perhaps a silly question but had to ask.
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by penfold79brass on 28-Mar-200706:37 PM

New function in Nokia Suite to transfer contacts t...

From version 3.6.x whish is now available as a release download here Nokia Suite has a new feature which allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Due to some publications on tech blogs and in the general media the suggestion was created that Nokia Suite directly supports Windows Phone now. This is not correct although Nokia Suite now offers an easy and fast way to transfer contacts, calendar and photos to your (new) Nokia Lumia Windows Phone.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account (formerly Live ID) which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC(zune) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. Installed (paid) apps can be restored after the reset using the app Reinstaller from Marketplace.
When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the device first use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will now also be available through your Microsoft account online.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.

I'm sure everybody understands this, but let me take a moment. Lumias are not new Symbian phones, they use the MS Windows Phone operating system. (yea I know, duh) What that means is that they conform to the MS concept of operation which is extremely web/cloud centric. They have left behind the idea that a phone is a little piece of a single PC to be cabled and sync'd periodically. It is an entity unto itself. Your data is in the cloud and the various devices, phones, tablets, PCs, connect to that data independently. The benefit to that is generally up to date data, no matter what device, and when, with virtually no user action required. The drawback is the requirement for connectivity. Not perpetual connectivity, but fairly frequent, periodic connectivity. For some the mere fact of cloud storage is an issue. That is just the way it is though.
Moving from any other platform, even older Windows Mobile ones, to this concept can be frustrating, if you weren't cloud based to begin with. The accepted way is to move your data into the cloud from the old platform, and then connect your Windows Phone to it. Again there are various ways to accomplish that. Nokia has attempted to provide some tools to make some of that transition easier. They are not responsible for, nor in a position to change the philosophy by which WP operates. Don't beat them up for how it works. If you don't like it, maybe beat them up for adopting it

Nokia Suite won't upgrade without SIM card

I used the Nokia (N95_1) four years ago as a phone, so I cannot remember where I stored the itty bitty Rogers SIM card or if I threw it away. Now I have this problem with the Nokia Suite not upgrading firmware without the sim card.
I use nokia now mostly as a GPS and a Wi-fi net browsing device, so I would like to get the new map version since the current one (v3.01 09wk44 b01) keeps crashing when synchronizing favs. I downloaded the .sis file from softpedia (v3.03 10wk11 b04) but get certificate errors when trying to install it. Does anybody know where can I get a signed map, latest version for nokia n95, with a fix for the sync crash? (It does get sync'ed but closes every time)
The Nokia online map is a great idea - the integration with the mobile is great, since it would be a hassle to type the whole address plus phone number with the tiny nokia keypad, so I just enter it on my desktop pc and sync it with mobile, no need for Windows, I can do it with Linux, just need a browser.
Nokia Suite is another story, there's no way to get it working without Windows
Just one major complaint - 9 out of 10 searches I do on the online Nokia map give no results, so I need the help of Google or Yahoo maps to enter the approximate location on the Nokia Map manually. Last search was for "Kim Phat" in Brossard, QC, a grocery store - you'll find it in every other map, except for nokia.
If Yahoo maps is powered by Nokia, how come nokia online maps does not bring the same search results? I'd rather have my mobile integrated with Yahoo maps instead.
Still wanting that signed nokia map 3.03 or 3.04...
Thanks for reading.

@noki_dding
Be aware that Nokia_Maps_3.01_09wk44_b01 is the most recent version for your N95 and do not have any issue synchronising with Ovi upon mine.
Presumably you have updated your map data to the latest 0.1.28.106?
Unfortunately any device has to be "General" profile to update device firmware using Nokia Suite or Nokia Software Updater.

My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts. However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen. She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts. However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen. She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

PC Suite:Restoring backup to new phone 6280

I've had a 6280 for ages, using it extensively, it developed a fault and was due to be replaced, so backed up via PC Suite (latest version 6.82). Now won't restore to new 6280 phone, even though it's clearly there as being backed up (approx. 9583kb).Starts going gets to about 20% on contacts then just freezes. Please help. I've looked at questions but can't see what to do. Thanks

Hi, Contacted ClubNokia, who sent me a link to: Contact Transfer application which should assist with extracting your contacts from the backup file.
Please note that this application requires PC Suite 6 .82 to be installed and will only restore contacts from the backup file, no other content type will be restored. The backup file must be located in the default location used by PC Suite which is as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Nokia\ContentCopier
This application does not delete any data from the handset before restoring the contacts from the backup file. If a contact that is present in the backup file is already on the handset it will be duplicated during the restore process. We would therefore advise you to delete any contacts that you know are included in the backup from the phone so that they are not duplicated. Only contacts from backup files of the type .nbu can be restored using this application.
PLEASE NOTE: ***The Contact Transfer application does not replace Nokia Content Copier and is not officially supported by Nokia***
This did the trick! So I'm back up and runnning. Thanks

1. Download MS .NET update and install on your PC.
2. Download NBU Explorer 2.2, extract and run.
3. Browse open your backup .nbu file form which you want your sms to be restored, and wait to load.
4. Select Messages folder and export to desktop(or any other place as per your convenience).
5. Get Nokia PC Suit (I dont know if it works with Nokia Suit or Ovi Suit, you may try though, I did with PC Suit) according to your platform and install.
6. As usual connect your hand set and let the suit detect it.
7. Open Nokia Communication Centre(Messages) and select Message Folders / My Folders.
8. From Menu select File->Import and browse to the previously exported folder.
9. Select the folders/messages as oer your needs and click save.
10. Wait for the messages to be saved and you are DONE!!

Nokia suite wont sync messages after phone update

Nokia suite recommended me to upgrade my Nokia C2-01 phone, and after this was done it no longer sync new messages to the Nokia Suite application. I am disabled and purchased a Nokia phone just to be able reading my messages in my computer (since I can’t hold the phone in my hands) so this is now downright chaotic for me!
The pop-up box at the bottom right of Windows still announce when a new messages/SMS is received, but they never appear in the Nokia suite after the upgrade.
Edit: Just discovered some messages sent by friends are synced, but not all SMS I receive.

Check whether the latest Beta version of Nokia Suite makes any difference. You may download it from here . For downloading the installer, you need to log-in using the SAME credentials that you use on this Forum ...
...also, have you set Auto Sync in the Nokia Suite ? If so, try manual sync ..after connecting the phone to PC, in Nokia Suite -->Messaging .. click on SYNC at the bottom next to the phone icon and see if it works ...

Nokia Suite does not offer latest phone software u...

Nokia website shows latest software for C7-00 is 111.040.1511. My phone is using 111.030.0609.
Nokia Suite (3.7.22) offers a couple of minor software additions, such as widgets, but does not show the later phone software available.
How do I get it to see and offer the latest software?
C7-00 Vodafone UK
E71 O2 UK
6300 Vodafone UK
6300 & N97 - resting

Availability of update depends on Product Code / Region. Also, for Network locked devices, update is possible only after an approval from the Operator.
Did you also check thru' FOTA ..(i.e. Software Update option available on your Phone - Refer P. 104 of the User Guide ) ?
If No update is available thru' both FOTA and Nokia Suite.. As per the reasons mentioned above, even if an update is released by Nokia, it need not be for your Device.

HT1414 I was recently locked out of my I Phone and had to have it restored at the Apple Store. My question is, how do I restore all of my contacts from my Macbook? Is it possible to restore my contacts without restoring everything else?

I recently had to have my I Phone restored and unfortunately lost my contacts along with everything else. My wife and I share a MacBook. Is it possible to download our contact list onto my I Phone without downloading all of my wifes calendar, notes, etc...? If so, how would I go about doing that? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
Matt

Restore the device from the most current backup on the computer it normally syncs with.
Now, that being said, unless you were syncing your contacts to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, it is very likely they are gone.

Can I restore my contacts without a back up, but I did download OS4?

I misunderstood when I was syncing my iphone, and I thought it was going to update my computers contacts with what the phone had...but it didn't. It reverted back to contacts from my computer.
I have not done a backup. However I recently downloaded OS4, on June 19 or so...I read somewhere that when you do this is automatically makes a backup...hopefully. Is there any way I can at least get back my contacts from then?
ANY HELP would be sooooo appreciated!!!!!

Apparently you're correct. I deleted all of my backups and started all over again. I backed up three consecutive times to my computer and then backed up three consecutive times to iCloud for both my iPad and my iPod.
This is the display on iTunes Preferences:
The times reflect the most recent iCloud backup. No other backups are displayed. The times are accurate and are confirmed by the displays for right-click:
However, look at the information in the Backup area of the Summary tab:
If I check the "Back up to this computer" radio button, I get similar incorrect date stamps.

My Nokia phone cannot connect to Nokia Suite (E6-0...

Hello,
I have the following problem. 2 days ago I updated my Nokia Suite with a new version ... Everything went smooth, but, when I tried to connect my phone (both E6 and C5) the suite displayed an error message saying that the phone is not connected in PC Suite mode ... I checked the setting on both phones and both were in PC SUite mode.
I emailed the Nokia support and they suggested me to reset the phone to factory settings ... I did it, but the problem still persists ... Then I tried to reinstall the Suite ... But without any result ... I still cannot connect the devices to Nokia suite.
Any suggestions on how to solve this issue? Are there others that are experiencing the same issue?
Solved!

Hi EugeniuSp,
- Which Windows version and which Windows Service Pack do you have installed?
After that, please try following:
- First, disconnect both phones from your PC.
- Then reboot your PC
- When PC has started again, start again Nokia Suite
- Try now connecting your phone in PC Suite mode to your PC via USB cable
- Does Nokia Suite now connect to your phone?
If that didn't help, try following:
- Disconnect your phone from PC
- Go into WIndows Control Panel
- Search there installed programs
- Uninstall Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
- Restart your PC
- When PC has restarted, please run again Nokia Suite installation package (available from www.nokia.com/nokiasuite) and choose repair option
- After Nokia Suite installation has completed, try connecting your phone again to your PC.
- Does Nokia Suite now connect to your phone?
Cheers, Samuli

HT4859 can i restore contacts without restoring iphone settings

I think I'm having problems with phone setting when i restore my iphone 4 ios5.1 so i'll like to know if I can restore my contacts without getting the old backup settings back on the phone?

While updating to 2.02 last night, I got the message the the update and firmware install could not be completed and it bricked my phone. After attaching the iphone to my pc several times it said to do a restore. The restore took about 45 min. After the restore it brought back to "Set up Iphone" page with the only options of 1) New Iphone or 2) Restore Name's Iphone and continue. If you hit continue it just does the restore process all over again. I was not able to sync my phone at this point. I finally called support and after an hour online they were about ready to give up. So they finally as a last resort said select "New Iphone" the next page was just a screen as where files will go. But hitting continue brought me to the sync screen and now all is good. Seems like a poor choice on the restore settings page and why didn't Apple tech know this simple fix??

Nokia Suite doesn't "see" Outlook 2010 contacts

I"ve recently installed on a new PC with windows 7 (32bit) MS Outlook 2010 and latest version of Nokia Suite. (3..2.100). I wanted to sync my contacts with my nokia phone (C2-01). However Nokia Suite doesn't "see" that I have MS Outlook installed. In the options to syncronize contacts it has only windows contacts.
Can anyone help how can I sync my contacts in MS Outlook with my nokia phone in this case?

Hi Toshkentlik,
I would like to add one thing more here.
You could first also check in Nokia Suite -> Tools -> Options -> Contacts ; See if Microsoft Outlook is selected there!
If yes, then
Diconnect/Connect you phone
Click Sync -> Repair Sync
Now Syn contacts again
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Best regards,

Nokia Suite 3.8 does not recognize my 6233 with bl...

Hello
Last year I had made some pictures with my Nokia 6233 and I transferred those pictures via Nokia Suite to my PC. Since then I had a couple of updates installed for the Nokia Suite and now I have the latest version on my PC.
But the newest version does no longer see my Nokia 6233.
Anybody an idea ?

I already uninstalled the Nokia Suite and the cable driver software and cleand the register (W7) on Nokia stuff.
Then I re-installed the nokia Suite but that didn't help. I don't have an USB cable at all.
It worked fine with bluetooth a year ago without problems. Nokia Suite doesn't recognize the phone at all, while my Blackberry Playbook bluetooth does recognize the phone and displays its name, although BB will only allow transfers with a BB phone.
So the phone's bluetooth is working correctly I think
regards

N8 with Anna can connect to nokia suit but no cont...

Hi! I'm a N8 user with symbian anna installed. Since I updated to Anna and nokia suit (not sure), my message and contact syncrhronization takes for a very long time and in the end, it produced no result. In other words, no messages and contacts are transferred from the phone to nokia suite. No error is occured. The phone is connected. Can anyone tell me what's the solution? Thanks for spending time reading it. Have a nice day!

It seems a problem with Nokia suite. I'd suggest reinstalling Nokia suite before looking at the phone.Also, if you have a second PC available, try it on there. This is assuming your phone is working well?
