Ovi suite and the N97

Has anyone else encountered problems with Ovi Suite?  I installed it on my PC from the disc in the box with my N97 all seemed fine first time I used it to back up then on the second occassion it would not load.  So I deleted it from PC and installed it on my laptop.  First backup was fine, then today tried to open Ovi Suite to backup phone and check for software updates and it fails to load.  Also there is a new version of Nokia Software updater that it tried to download and also failed on installaion.
Just wondered if anyone else was having problems?

i am not sure which version came with your phone but these links will take you either to ovi suite beta 2 update, or nokica pc suite. either one is good i tend to use nokia pc suite more as ovi suite still has some growing pains to go through. you can reinstall ovi or install pc suite and remove the ovi suite if you have any components left on your computers first.

  • N97 Firmware updates but Ovi suite and SW update t...

    I have updated my firmware to the version 11 twice now. Once using the Ovi suite and once using th PC Suite Software  updater. When I go to the SW update app in my N97 it still says "Phone Software - Important" but the details just say it's the same firmware update I've already gotten. I'm thinking this may hinder my ability to get the new NGAGE, Maps, etc. updates. How do i fix this?
    Thanks for the help!!

    try this *#7780# default code is 12345 you will not lose any data, you will have to reset your settings possibly. and then turn the phone off for few minutes. turn in back on , go to the software update in the application folder and refresh the avaliable updates by going to options on the left hand side. see if this will help any 
    oh and btw you have updated your phone you can check this by *#0000# pluging this in if it is v11 you are good to go

  • Apparent problem with Ovi Suite and Win 7 64 bit

    Hi
    Apologies if this has already been covered, but i have searched quite thoroughly and i haven't come across the specific problem i'm querying.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, with PC Suite 7.1.51.0, which runs just fine.
    I intend to upgrade to the superb N8 when my contract comes to an end in 6 months, so i'm just doing my homework.  
    Apparently, the N8 will only run on Ovi Suite, NOT PC Suite.
    Now if anyone disputes this and can convince me that the N8 works perfectly fine with PC Suite, then read no further, please just respond!  (Bear in mind the OS i'm running though).
    As nice as Ovi Suite is, i've managed just fine so far with PC Suite.
    Otherwise, please let me explain the problem i am having:
    I installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.  When i run it, it shows the main screen, and you can just make out a small window appearing in the middle saying "Nokia OVI".
    It is then that the program stops responding, eventually displaying the error message which reads:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\...
    This appication has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
    Please contact the appication's support team for more information.
    Judging by the similar stories of Ovi crashing (not finding one where the program fails to open, though), i think it is related to the fact that i'm running Win 7 64 bit; but i could be wrong.
    I have tried installing it in compatibility mode, then (failing that), running it in compatibility mode, all to no avail.
    Is this a problem that Nokia know about?  If there is an intended fix within 6 months, then that'll be fine.
    Otherwise, do any of you clever people know any work-arounds?
    Any further questions you need to ask, please don't hesitate.
    Many thanks

    Pinpointing the problem may be very difficult as Ovi-Suite appears to be extremely unpredictable.and getting Ovi-suit tu run an sync properly seems to be largely a matter of luck.
    I have just set-up three brand new identical HP workstations for our Geo-Information Department.
    All were set up from the same disk image with only Win 7 Pro Office 2010, then directly Ovi-Suite as our Geo-Information guys insisted on Nokia handsets against our advice.
    On one, machine Ovi-Suite crashed on launch and was unable to run at all.
    on the second, Sync to OL 2010 failed consistently.
    ont the third, everything ran fine with an N97 but an N8 was not recognized
    So i got curious and run tests on one machine: I installed the same disk image a total of six times (clean win7-64, clean Office 2010 3 times, Office 2003 three times)
    Office 2010
    the first time i had the crash on launch, second time OL2010 sync fail, third time it ran ok.
    Office 2003
    First time notes sync failed, second and third time all was ok.
    So the issue is definitely with Ovi-Suite and it appears to be pure luck whether is runs or not and if it runs at all, whether it syncs or not.
    Syncing OL 2010 seems to be much trouble prone than OL2003, 64bit appears to be much less stable than 32, onb win 7 it seems to have slightly fewer issues than on XP.
    We have NO issues with any other sync software (Palm, BB, Fruit, S-E, Microsoft, even Nokia PC-Suite).
    None of the software is run with admin privileges (as we just do not give admin rights to users). If software requires admin rights to be installed, it is done by Data Center employees.
    I'm afraid one's best bet to get Ovi-Suite running is trial and error, or if  the handset supports it, use PC-Suite, which is what we do.
    Ovi-suite users, according to our logs, generate over 70% of our smart phone related support calls, even though they are only 6% of our smart phone user base.
    As a result, we currently have all Nokia handsets that do not work with PC-Suite and require Ovi-Suite blacklisted in our organization, meaning we won't support them in any way. Installation of any flavor of Ovi-Suite is prohibited on user PCs as long as it does not become more stable, reliable and less of a resource hog.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

  • Ovi Suite and iTunes conflict ?

    Dear All.
    For my N97 Mini,    I use under Windows 7 the Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245.  It works fine and it synchronize the music present in the folder "My music" ...
    The problem is that iTunes does not even run when Ovi Suite runs ...
    I try to explain better.     If I UNinstall completely iTunes (and ALL Apple SW present on my laptop) then when I re-install it, immediately it works fine (I can see my complete set of songs, I can buy new ones, etc ...).
    When after I run the Ovi Suite, this reads from the iTunes folder in "My Music" all the old and new songs, and it (re)synchronize with my N97 Mini ... perfect ! (I can listen the songs on my N97 Mini!)  but when I run again iTunes a small windows appears which says "The handle is invalid", and iTunes never starts ... so I have to uninstall/re-install  it (and ALL Apple SW !!!) again ...
    Any suggestion to solve this problem ?
    Many thanks,
    ML

    Hi Mlena,
    Even i have both Ovi Suite and itunes installed in my Windows 7 desktop. I am able to run both the softwares simultaneoulsly.
    Looks like the issue is specific to your PC. You could try uninstalling both itunes and Ovi Suite and install one by one both again.
    For OVi Suite you need to follow the below steps.
    Uninstall the following Programs, if any, from Control Panel -> Programs and Features
    Also a screen-shot of the error will help
    Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
    Nokia Ovi Suite
    PC Connectivity Solution
    Later download and install the latest OVi Suite from the following location.
    http://www.ovi.com/suite
    After OVi suite installation , restart the PC then install the itunes.
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    If still issue persists, Please provide your Mobile details (*#0000#) and your PC details.

    I have tried continually today to get my phone to be recognised by ovi suite.
    It see's the phone model when adding a new device, but when i click on the phone, it comes up with the phone is not in ovi suite mode????
    What the heck, its the only mode available apart from mass storage etc. 
    It IS in ovi suite mode, I have done this several times, unplugged the phone from the USB cable and replugged it in. restarted ovi suite. restarted the computer, all to no avail. 
    Cannot even use pc suite, which is the program i actually prefer to use. PC suite recognises i have the c5 connected but wont allow me to do anything either
    Please please help i need to back up and put stuff on the phone that i had saved from my old phone (old phone lost somewhere on the motorway so cannot sync that way)

  • Ovi Suite and Map Server connection error when beh...

    Hi All,
    from many recent versions up to the latest 3.1.1.80 I have problems to connect to the map server when behind a proxy. Ovi Suite correctly access to internet and log on (I've set-up proxy access data in the options menu) but when I access to the Maps tab I receive the massage "MAp Server not available".
    Now I've understood the reason and for nokia guys it should be very easy to fix the problem:
    if my proxy username is in the format "name surname" Ovi Suite access to internet but Maps DOES NOT.
    if my proxy username is in the format "username" (without spaces) BOTH ovi suite and Maps WORKS correctly.
    Please FIX it, it should be very easy.
    Thanks,
    AleC

    Hello, 1. Were you able to use the usb connection if present? And also, make sure you have the correct drivers, if present, installed (use a device manager to check). 2. Most probably, your printer was not properly connected to the network. You need to check IP configuration. If a wireless router is used, make sure there is no MAC filtering enabled. If enabled, you need to reconfigure. 3. DHCP Service. 4. Check the network test page and make sure ssid is correctly identified. And the rest of the wireless parameters. 5. Make sure your firewall does not blobk printer connections. Make sure file and print sharing has been turned on for the appropriate network with network discovery turned on(Network and Sharing Center if Windows). Network connection should be work not public (Windows only). More assistance: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=... Thank you!

  • C7 OVI Suite and Windows 7 Home 64bit - no way to ...

    Hello everybody, I've just bought my C7 smartphone and I'm trying to synchronize my Outlook contacts. 
    I've installed Ovi Suite and tried to connect C7 via USB and bluetooth. It seems it doesn't recognize the connection properly. in fact, Ovi Suite shows the message: "the device is not in USB PC Suite mode. try to disconnect and reconnect the device". Checking my C7, it automatically selects the Nokia Ovi Suite connection (so, it should work properly!).
    Some tips:
    - the Ovi Suite window shows the generic "Nokia Device", it seems it doesn't recognize C7.
    - I tried also with Microsoft XP 32bit and everything works fine.
    It seems to me maybe there's a problem with Windows7 Home - 64bit?
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks

    Could you please try this?
    1. Unplug the phone from your computer.
    2. Uninstall all Nokia related applications. These applications include Nokia OVI / PC Suite, Nokia Cable Drivers, and PC Connectivity solution.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. This step is necessary only in a few cases. If you do not have one already, install a registry cleaning application. My recommendation is CCleaner along with Registry Mechanic. Clean your registry using these applications.
    5. Restart your computer.
    6. Install Nokia OVI Suite or PC Suite, whichever is your preference. Make sure that you have the latest setup file.
    7. Download the Nokia Cable Drivers setup files from your region’s official Nokia website.
    8. Install the Nokia Cable Drivers setup file.
    9. Restart your computer.
    10. Plug in your phone and wait while its drivers are installed by Windows.
    11. Restart your computer.
    12. Run Nokia OVI / PC Suite. Your phone will now be detected by the application.
    Hopefully it will help you to solve your problem

  • OVI suite and Sync

    i have noticed that there are issues with the sync capabilities on the OVI suite and it actually completely destroyed my database of contacts!
    i had to go back to my main pc and do a complete wipe on all of the contacts with PC Suite instead.
    it seems that the mapping still has issues, specifically, for USA, the zip code is mapped to go before the city, rather then after the state!  had to go through all of my contacts on outlook and manually fix each contact so that when i needed to print mail labels, etc, that it would print correctly.
    after you clean it up, the sync is fine, unless you sync between multiple laptops/pc's.  then the OVI suite mixes up all the info and deleted some contacts, and changed some info within the contacts...for instance, if there were 2 different email address/phone numbers/etc. then suddenly, i had both of the email addresses the same!
    anyone else had these challenges?  is there a fix?

    Noticed on a few other topics extra information has been requested. I hope the majority is in my first post but here is the extra.

  • Ovi Suite and photo management troubles

    Hello there,
    I've recently installed the Ovi suite to transfer my holiday photos to my mobile phone.
    However upon first launch it started to search my pictures folder for photos and  automatically added them to the ovi library. so after a little research i've found out that it should be save to "delete" the photos from be ovi library.
    and here are my actual questions:
    1. why does it add photos without asking the user?
    2. why does deleting or adding photos take ages? (about 20min for 19GB on a decent laptop)
    2a) does it store a copy of the files somewhere?
    2b) why do the two related processes take up 50% of cpu usage for adding or deleting files?
    3) why doesn it it sync the photos from the pc to the mobile when i hit the "sync photos" button?
    4) how can i transfer albums that have been created in ovi suit to my mobile, in a way that the album is browsable as such on my phone?
    i hope someone can enlighten me,
    kupetzky

    Hey,
    This may not b d complete reply u r looking for, n this is what i knw frm this forum
    1) Open Nokia Ovi Suite > Tools > Options > Photos > Photos folder location - This can be changed as per ur wished location
    2a)  It is stored in ur pc(it wud b gud, if u can share ur pc details so that ppl will inform, where ur database file for ovi is getting stored)
    2b) what r d 2 process u r talking here? (is it NokiaMServer n NokiaAserver or NokiaOviSuite.exe if yes, there r already few discussions happened related to these processes need while running Nokia ovi Suite)
    3) i m bit confused on ur query, AFAIK, photos sync in Nokia Ovi Suite is one way - i.e. ur phone's photo can b synched from phone to ur pc thru Nokia Ovi Suite and not vice versa, u can't sync ur pc's photo to ur phone thru Nokia Ovi Suite via SYNC, but there r ways like drag n drop, Windows Xplorer kind of, u can read in related posts of this Nokia ovi suite
    2a & 4) i dont hav any suggestions currently as i hav nt tried these
    Hopefully rest of forum members will share their views too, as i did....

  • OVI Suite problems with N97

    Hi,
    I have received my new N97 and installed the bundled OVI Suite.
    All went well and it found and conected to my phone and I played with it for around an hour or so.
    I reconnected later in the day and the suite would not start automatically as before or recognise the phone when i searched for connected device.
    I have turned my phone on and off and restarted my PC but it still won't recognise the phone.
    I seem to remember having this problem with my N95 and a version of PC Suite but that was a couple of years ago and I can't remember the solution (if there was one).
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Dave 

    The ovi suite thats supplied with the phone is a bit unreliable.
    Try using PC suite instead or the new ovi suite beta.
