Ovi Suite 3 - Music library refresh problem

Hi, i am using Windows 7 x64 and newest Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284.
I've been searching to find a thread with a similar problem and find none. So the problem is that i can't refresh my music library in Ovi Suite. There is just no such option. I am not gonna complain about his program showing pieces of music that i have deleted months ago, because that is something i can live with. This is just ridicolous.
I have an album that i have moved from a disk to disk and i can't copy it to a device because there is a yellow triangle with a (!) near songs and ovi claiming those files dont exist. They exist but this program just cannot update the directiories. How of an advanced option is that? Who are the people this program is designed for? This software is a joke. How can i refresh the library without changing my system files, formating the discs, buying a new phone and a new PC?

Hi,
Ovi Suite is really an horrible software. I was unable to exclude files from the music library, and they was already deleted from the file system. I kept trying to delete but nothing happened!!!
I found where the Ovi Suite keeps the its music library database...
With the Ovi Suite closed, go to the folder (in Windows 7):
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase
And rename the file MDataStore.db3 to MDataStore.old.
Open the Ovi Suite and now just adds yor music to the library. It will take some time but will be an updated library. (if you have any music you don't wanna in the library, move it to another folder before this procedure).

N85 Music Library Refresh Never Ending

Is there anyone that can help me ??

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.

ITunes Music lIbrary Sharing problems; repeatedly asks to authorize computer after it has already been successfully authorized

Having a very frustrating issue. I want to share music from my iMac's iTunes Music Library to my MBP. Purchased music plays fines on my iMac but not on the MBP. I can see the iMac's shared iTunes library from iTunes on my MBP. I have successfully authorized both of my computers using the same iTunes account username and password. When I try to play any purchased iTunes music on the MBP, it asks me to authorize the MBP again. Then it verifies that it is already authorized. Trying to play the same song again asks me to authorize my computer again at iTunes, over and over, ad nauseum. I can log into my iTunes account from both computers (via iTunes) which verifies that the username and password are correct. Both computers have the same version of the MacOS and iTunes, 10.5.8 & 10.4.1, respectively. It does this from multiple user accounts on the MBP. I went to iTunes and deauthorized both computers and reauthorized them again, no change. I uninstalled iTunes & all iTunes preferences and downloaded a fresh iTunes 10.4.1 from Apple, no change. I searched the Apple Communities and tried the suggested fixes in the knowledgebase article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389 with no change. I also ran Disk Utility and rebuilt disk permissions but there were no problems found.
Short of doing clean install of the OS or even a reformat and restore, does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, the only way to fix it is to oddly enough de-authorize your computer and reauthorize it and you'll have the correct number of authorized computer again.
I do not know why iTunes does this maybe someone else can explain why?

N73 Music Library Update Problems

The N73 is a very good phone that is so feature rich. However, it is extremely volatile.
Every other person has a different issue with it. I keep hearing of issues that I never experience, and people do not seem to have experience my issues.
Firmware 27.0628.0.0.3 (Latest Version) - Just updated a few days ago
My Issue:
I have a Kingmax 1GB Mini-SD Card
I load it up with music (fully)
I then Ask the Music Player to update my music library (It sometimes does it automatically or when I start the player)
Then either for no reasons or when I add or remove tracks, the tracks available go from 180 to 112,8, 32, or 4 songs available. I can still see and play all the songs on the file manager, but the music player will not update the songs.
The only way I solve this is by copying the songs out of the SD card, formatting the card, and then copying the songs again. It is a painstaking process. But it happens again and again, sometimes when I dont even make changesHas anyone else experienced this and do you have a solution?

Hi Every1, I am having the same problem.
I Have had my N73 ME for quite a while now & it never failed me until now. A few days back for no reason at all the Music Player got screwed up.
There r 2 problems. First when I add music to the phone via Nokia Music manager from the PC the files r added to the memory card (E/Sound/Digital, mp4 format at 48kbps) but r not added to the Music Player Library of the phone. This never happened b4. I tried evrything including formatting the memory card (several times) but nothing works. Some transferred songs do appear in the Library...sometimes a 100, sometimes 115 etc but after that no more songs r added to the Library even though they r in the memory card & can be accessed from there.
Secondly, at the same time this problem started, the Music player malfunctions all of a sudden. The buttons & menus disappear all of a sudden & for no reason & I have to restart the phone.
I even updated the phone firmware to the latest but that didnt help. So plz if any1 can tell me the cause & the solution for this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You.

HT1386 itunes music library syncing problem.... HELP!

As I try to sync my iphone, my music library does not transfer from my ipod to itunes on my PC. can anyone help?

Moving music from Pod/iPad/iPhone --> CPU is not easy because of copyright issues (otherwise, you could simply put all of your friend's music on your CPU and never pay for it).
If you have paid for the music on your iPod...
1. I recommend doing a Google search for iTunes...but spell iTunes backwards.
2. Download and Install the application that is at the top of the search results.
The application's website will have further instructions on how to get music off of your iPod.
All the best!

OVI Suite with C7 connecting problem

After starting Ovi Suite and connecting the C7, the suite tells me that it is a C7 connected, then starts "buzzy with installing/setup.." ("bezig met instellen...")(see attachment). This message at the bottom of the sreens stays there forever and nothing is happening. The C7 is connected with USB. But I get the same result with Bluetooth.
Can anyone tell me what to do?

Hi, and yep.

S/W v date 24-12-2009
Custom version 21.006.54.1
Custom version date 24-12-2009
Language set 001
Model N86 8MP
Type RM-484
Latest update Not updated
Ovi:
Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1

Nokia mPlatform 2.6.86
Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.1.0.82
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3
Language: English
An odd thing about the phone is that I actually did run the s/w update at the end of Jan or start of Feb and it reported as successful. So beats me why it now states 'not updated'. I ran this update soon after I got the phone, after I successfully installed a previous v of Ovi. I had to restore my HDD soon after this, which is why I was trying to install Ovi again this week.
Anyway, any help much appreciated

MP3 Music library on computer has DRM problems wit...

I have the OVI Suite 3.0.0.284 installed on my PC. Before installing it , I already have a large library of MP3 ripped from my own personal collection of CD.
For a few weeks the OVI Suite Music library was find. One day each track is now displaying a warning sign and I am unable to play or transfer to my 6750.
What can I do to fix the situation and prevent it from happening again.
Thanks,
Archie

I am replying to my own posting. I upgraded from OVI Suite 3.0.0.248 to 3.0.0.290 and it fixed the problem.
It is illogical that when a new version comes out that the music library becomes unusable by Ovi Suite.
Any explanation?
Thanks,
Archie

Nokia Ovi Suite can't connect to Internet

Hi
I was using an old version of Ovi that come with my N95 in a CD.
I'm trying to update my N95 with a new firmware and that request to update Ovi.
After the update I can't login to Ovi in order to update.
There's any problem that Ovi software can't connect or something else.
Obviously, I'm connected to the Internet.
BTW... where's the spanish forum or help assistance?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem on pc in the office. I uninstalled and installed the old ovi suite 2, but it dosn`t work. When You connect Your phone it will do, but connect to Your Ovi account through the telefone. I havn`t got any answer until today.
I use Nokia 5230, want to connect to my Ovi account also, when the phone isnt connected to the pc. I hope, we will got a resolution.
By installing the old Ovi suite there are only problems with winxp, it dosn`t work really. Thank everyone for help or answer. philipp

OVI Suite 3.1.1.78 : N8 fails to sync/connect

Hi,
Since i upgraded OVISuite to 3.1.1.78 my N8 cannot connect to it.
That's strange because OVI suite is able to read phone detail (version from the phone R1.2, and space on memory). But when i clic on contact/Photo/Maps... it always say to set my phone on USB OVI suite mode.
The problem is that is already set on that mode.
I have already restart my phone.
Thanks for help

Ovi Suite installation/uninstallation kills Putty ...

Hi! I noticed during the beta testing that Nokia Ovi Suite kills all Putty processes which are running while installing or uninstalling Ovi Suite. The problem still exists in the latest Ovi Suite versions. The problem can easily be reproduced by downloading Putty (from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html), opening a SSH connection to any server, leaving the connection open and then installing/uninstalling Ovi Suite. Can someone else reproduce this too and why does Ovi Suite kill these processes?
