Ovi Player / Ovi Suite Music not added to library

Ok more weird Ovi annoyances:
Ovi Music / Player does not add certain songs from my iTunes folders (all Non DRM m4a files) to its library, neither automatically nor does it let me add them manually.
However, if transferred to the handset (N97) manually they will play fine. They also play fine when opened via File|Open in Ovi Suite or Player.
I first noticed it with
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Israel Kamakawiwo'ole\Over the Rainbow - Single\ Over The Rainbow.m4a
Which I cannot add to the library in any way.
Ok,  I thought, Ovi trips up on special characters, but
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\C'mon C'mon.m4a
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Men They Couldn't Hang\How Green is the Valley\The Ghosts of Cable Street.m4a
are both added just fine, while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\The Von Bondies\Pawn Shoppe Heart\Not That Social.m4a
can again, not be added in any way.
Al right then, has to be that Ovi trips up over legal Windows path names that are too long for Ovi.
But
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Neon Trees\Animal-Single\Aniimal.m4a
can again not be added in any way while
e:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark\Messages - Greatest Hits\1-03 Enola Gay (2003 Remaster).m4a
is added just fine.
Sometimes when trying to add an album, only certain titles are not added, while the rest of the album is.
There seems to be no pattern whatsoever to this behavior, since it's not path lengths or special characters tha keep songs from bein added, it's also nit file type related as there some MP3s i can't add as well.
Note that M$ Media Player 11 has no issues adding the same bits to its own library.
I run Win 7 Pro 32.
Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

It's getting weirder and weirder
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde
was successfully imported including the first track
E:\Users\Max\Music\iTunes\Music\Heinz Rudolf Kunze\Die Gunst der Stunde\01 Hunderttausend Rosen.m4a
on another PC.
So the failures seem completely random, which would not be so tragic if you got a second chance, which you don't.
I'd still like to know what I need to delete to get rid of the entire music library. I just need OVI-Music / Suite to get some of my music to my phone and this should not be so tedious!
Ovi Suite seems to sotre stuff all over the place and you don't really know what's what, which makes fixing problems very frustrating.
iTunes keeps its stuff transparently in the same place, but then again I never had any such weird  problems with it in the past 5 years.

  • Ovi Suite does not recognise special MP3 files

    My Ovi Suite does not import some of my MP3 files, even though they have proper ID3 tags (there are even albums where some files are recognised and others not, although I can see no difference in the "quality" of the tags). If I directly choose one of those to add, the program always states "0 files added".
    I would like to get ALL of my MP3s (approx 2GB) into Ovi suite, not just 80%. Can anyone give me a hint why Ovi suite dislikes some of my files?
    Thanks!

  • Ovi Suite will not recognize N97

    I got a N97 last weekend and keep getting the message that  Ovi Suite cannot recognize my device. I have spent many hours on the phone with Nokia but uninstalling and reinstalling Ovi Suite is not solving the problem. The USB cable works. I have used it to just copy files from my PC to my N97. I have tried with the security/virus programs on my PC turned off. I have used the Nokia PC Suite cleaner. My OS is XP service pack 3. I am getting really frustrated and am ready to just return the phone and look for a different manufacturer. I read a lot of good reviews about Nokia and heard good comments from people but this is too much. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate some help.

    This is more likely to be a computer problem/software problem than a problem with your phone. I run W7 and have no problem connecting my N97 to the pc using either mass storage mode or pc suite mode.
    You know you have to set your phone in PC suite mode to connect to ovi suite/pc suite? Having both Ovi suite and pc suite on the same computer could be the problem. You should stick with one of them.
    Try also to set your phone to automaticly connect in pc suite mode: Menu->settings-> connectivity->usb->Usb connection mode: PC suite.
    Then: ASk on connection-> NO.
    Try also different usb ports on the computer. You could also open devicemanager on your pc and scan for new devices whilst the phone is connected to it.

  • OVI Suite is not compatible with Ralink Motorola B...

    Ovi suite can not find my bluetooth. my nokia n8 or e72 connects with my bluetooth. the problem is only with ovi suite and pc suite.
    can any one help me solve this problem
    thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey guys, i found a solution.
    I'm using HP pavilion dv6 (can't remember the full specs though).
    I also use Ralink_Motorola_BC4_Bluetooth_3.0HS_C1.100 but the problem is Nokia ovi suite greys out the bluetooth connect or whatever which most of you are facing.
    I fixed my problem by doing the following steps:
    1) Uninstall Ralink bluetooth software(And then Reboot if required)
    2) Turn off all your wireless devices and then turn all your wireless devices back on. (OR just go to HP wireless assistant and click on Turn all off and then click on Turn all on).
    3) By now your bluetooth driver should automatically install itself, this is not your Ralink bluetooth driver. This is just your basic bluetooth driver so that you can receive and send files.
    4) Now go back to Nokia Ovi suite and do what you have to do to create a connection. There you won't see that connect with bluetooth greyed out like most see that.
    This worked for me. Honestly i liked the Ralink better than some odd generic driver. If Nokia doesn't release any Ovi suite version to fix this issue, this is the only solution available(unless you want to change your bluetooth driver to another software like Toshiba bluetooth stack for non-toshiba notebooks).
    I told Nokia(ask) more than 6 months ago about this issue and those liers promised me that they will release a version that will fix this issue. Till now they've released allot of ovi suite versions and non of them fixed the issue.
    Let me know if it worked i'll appreciate it.

    Hi, please help?
    I cant seem to connect to my ovi account via ovi suite (could not sign in), it asks if the internet connection is working.
    Though when i try log in via the ovi website I have no issues.
    It wouldnt have bothered me but now it asks to log in for me to update the phone software so cant update. If this doesnt get resolved I am hoping that software updater in pc suite still works?!

  • When I sync my iphone 4S using iTunes it only syncs 8.5GB of music, not the entore library as specified.  Is there a capcity default limit of the amount of storage that can be used for music and if so how do I change it?

    When I sync my iphone 4S using iTunes it only syncs 8.5GB of music, not the entore library as specified.  Is there a capcity default limit of the amount of storage that can be used for music and if so how do I change it?

    The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?

  • OVI Suite does NOT sync music on the E72

    Hello all,
    I have OVI suite on Windows 7 and trying to sync my music.OVI suite sees all my music (in the iTunes music folder), but when trying to sync it simply stays in the "preparing sync" status forever. I left it running the whole night long and nothing happened.
    Someone has a solution/workaround?
    The most ridiculous aspect of this story is that the music sync works great from iTunes with iTunes agent!!!! This is absurd! A software from Apple, fooled by an open source middleware tool works better than a native super-fancy-advanced sync app!
    Why in the hell does Nokia do this kind of things? At first a bugged 400 euros phone (the E72 was not exactly a rock), then a bugged sync suite (PC suite works great, but it's going to be dismissed), what's happening there?I'm really starting to be disgusted about Nokia's way of "upgrading" products.
    Ah, forgot something: when do your genius programmers at Nokia plan to implement a "stop sync" or "cancel sync" button? My OVI suite is stuck on music sync and I cannot even access the "options" menu to change settings. You make VERY funny products, BTW 
    Message Edited by glauco_b on 24-Jan-2010 09:27 AM

    Agree.
    You can spend hours lookimg at the program wondering what it is doing, and most of the time it is doing nothing, when you thougth you had started an application.
    Please give us a time estmate for the sync/function that is running.

  • Ovi suite does not find a new MP4 on my PC!

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately, after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 version of Ovi Suite I found that my newly added video files, mostly an MP4, can't be shown by the software. Also, much before this, I have to admit, some MP3 files are not been displayed in my gallery in the Ovi suite and I used to blame on the files, or even my PC. It did happen earlier 3.0 and still is on. I do not know what to think now, maybe some of you can explain what is going wrong! 
    Please, share your ideas. I would be glad to read some!
    Thx in advance.

    this is the answer to your issue....
    the problem is not the Nokia PC Suite.... it is HP that is to blame for adding such slopy hardware that is built not to be usable by other external software.. i have a HP Probook 4530s and it uses the same but newer version, bluetooth hardware Realtek Motorola BC8 Bluetooth 3.0+HS Adapter that has to use motorola software...this motorola software is able to connect to my phone via bluetooth and acts like a built-in nokia pc suite / Windows bluetooth driver... not allowing the actual nokia pc suite access to the bluetooth hardware... in short nokia pc suite is Incompatibile with Ralink / Realtek Motorola BC4 / BC8 Bluetooth 3.0+HS Adapter... so if you have this problem ask HP to come up with new software that works on the motorola hardware that is compatible with nokia PC suite... this is the problem with products that have parts built by other companies.. (Incompatibility) 
    thats why i like Apple and nokia they dont out source other brands to make parts... but recently nokia ran to microsoft for the lumia windows cause there symbian software was loseing against ios and android..

  • Ovi Suite will not sync with 5800 ExpressMusic

    Was using PC Suite 1.1 without a problem, then upgraded to Ovi Suite 2.1 and now can't sync Calender.  Everything looks as though it's going fine... the task bar says syncing and gets right to the end, before displaying error code Sync Cancelled 80043c93
    WinXp SP3
    Great! Thoroughly tested before release then!

    Phone:  Nokia 5800 XM firmware version 40.
    Desktop OS: Windows 7
    Ovi Sute version: 2.1.0.87 (clean install after uninstallation of ALL previous Nokia sottware products)
    Sync setup:
    Sync all = contacts, photos, messages, calendar
    Contacts are to be synced with MS Outlook 2007 and Ovi online
    Calendar is to be synced with MS Outlook 2007 (wth Outlook preservation of data in case of conflict)
    When trying to do a "sync all" Error message:
    "Completed syncing the following content types: Messaging
    Failed to sync the following content types: Contacts and Photos and Calendar.
    Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again.

    When trying to sync Contacts alone:

    When trying to sync Calendar and Tasks only::
    "Could not sync calendar item and tasks. Plug the USB cable into your device again or connect via Bluetooth. The sync again."
    If someone has any ideas why this is happening, please advise.
    Also the "My Pictures", "My Videos" and "My Music" folders are by default selected as the folders for Pictures, Videos and Music WITHOUT the possibility to change them.

  • OVI suite will not log on in Moscow Russia

    11 days ago I did an update to my 5800 music express for OVI Suite, PC suite and my 5800X
    Of course I backed up my memory onto the memory card in the phone, another copy to backup with PC suite and the horrible OVI Siute....
    now when I access my 5800X from my pc with OVI it says server can not log on, can not find server
    with PC suite it now will not read the majority of stored phone numbers , and the sms/text messages come in without names, just phone numbers
    this update stopped my Nokia maps from working too
    3 hours I was in the Nokia flagship store in Moscow reloading programs one by one undoing the damage ....
    BUT OVI SUITE still DOES NOT LOG ON !
    whats up NOKIA ? are you asleep behind the wheel ?
    I am sure I am not the only person with this problem,and I am sure that my 5800X is not the only Nokia models to be affected
    I swear I will never  buy another NOKIA , all my friends have troubles , very similar troubles
    We buy supposedly good phones , pay good money ... all we get is problems with the phones, then pay for servicing ,because it is NEVER Nokia's fault !
    so called "free" applications  cost money to download , they only access the internet through the similar !
    Then these "free" applications  only work if you click your Similar online !
    NOKIA you need to contact me Via my phone for this account  about a solution for this problem
