Ovi Suite & Bookmark sync = one way only

I tried to sync bookmarks between Firefox and C6-00. Ovi Suite proudly announced syncing to be complete. But I only found it had added the phone's bookmarks to Firefox. No new bookmarks appeared in the phone's web browser.
How do I get the sync work both ways?
I tried the PC sync from the phone (what's that supposed to do anyway?) by Bluetooth but that didn't work 'cause Windows (64-bit Win7) didn't find a driver for the phone.

Hi roz_n97. In Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0, photos are synced only one way from device to Nokia Ovi Suite photo library. Additionally, you can transfer your content from Nokia Ovi Suite photo library to device by drag'n'drop. Select photos that you want to get into your device and drag'n'drop those into device icon shown in Nokia Ovi Suite.
What comes to other content types, for example Notes, Contacts and Calendar - we're supporting two-way sync. We've vision, where your content is always available, in device, in Nokia Ovi Suite, in ovi.com, simple and effortless way. When we designed Nokia Ovi Suite, we noticed that current sync settings in Nokia PC Suite are pretty complex for end users and we wanted to give users simple way to keep content in sync.

Ovi Suite 2 - can you sync one way only?

In the old PC Suite, you could set it to automatically back-up all the photos on the phone to the PC. In OS2 this doesn't seem possible, all syncing (especially in this case - the photos) are both ways. Now I do NOT want all the photos on my PC on my phone, so...
...is there a way to set up one-way (Phone > PC) syncing on OS2?
Cheers,

Started to grind to a halt until I hard reset it - still a lot slowly than my wife's iP4

Audiobook bookmark sync: 1 way only?

Today I was listening to an audiobook on my iPod Touch, and later on my iPhone 4. Both are registered to the same iCloud account.
When I finished listening on the Touch, I was pleased to find later that my iPhone 4 knew exactly where I was up to in the audiobook (which chapter, how many minutes left) and I continued listening. Later still, I got back home and found that the Touch audiobook was still at the position I'd left it.
What's more, when I went back to the audiobook on my iPhone 4, it synced back to where the Touch was.
So it seems that whenever the Touch Music app is opened, it sends out sync info and overrides the iPhone.
Perhaps I have set something up wrongly. Is there a hierarchy of devices, such that one overrides the other in iCloud? The problem seems to be that the iPhone isn't updating iCloud with where it's up to in the audiobook. The iPhone is letting itself be bullied by the Touch! How do I fix this? Thanks in anticipation.

Strange. Seems to be working today. Just listened to some more of the book on the iPhone while cleaning the car. Came back inside, checked on the iPod Touch, and it synced to the same place within a few seconds. I haven't changed any settings.

Nokia Ovi Suite - Messages Sync doubt

Hi all,
I have this doubt concerning the messages sync:
Let's imagine, I make a sync between my nokia, so all the messages are copied and appear in the Ovi Suite. Some other day I decide do delete some messages on the cell phone. When I sync it again with the Ovi Suite, will it delete those same messages or will they remain?
I didn't find an option to chose whether I could chose the kind of synchronization, since I would like to delete some SMS from the cellphone but keep them intact in my computer.
Thanks!

Hey,
AFAIK Nokia Ovi Suite Message sync is one-way sync, ie., u can sync ur handset's messages from ur device to Nokia Ovi Suite and the other way is not possible. Xprts confirm
If u delete few messages from ur device after synching those with Nokia Ovi Suite, then if sync is successful means, ur messages will b there on both handset and on ur device. Once if u delete ur messages from device and then if u sync ur handset with nokia ovi suite for message sync, ur deleted messages on the phone will not get deleted from nokia ovi suite and becuase of ur sync even the deleted messages will get restored from nokia ovi suite to ur device, as i said earlier it is only one way sync.
Still if u want the deleted messages to b restored on ur device, what all can b done is u can drag ur messages from Nokia Ovi suite's message pane to ur device, then the deletd mssgs can b stored on ur device too.
If u delete ur messgae on message pane section of Nokia ovi suite, then only ur messages will get deleted from nokia ovi suite.
Hope its clear, if u hav any doubt, get it clarified thru our forum, but it wud b gud, if u post ur nokia ovi suite related issues on Nokia ovi suite discussions board, this one is meant for Ovi and Mobile Media > ovi.com, ovi.store, ovi share and ovi sync, which all r related to Nokia Ovi's online ie nokia account ovi.com
If u hav any query related to Nokia Ovi suite, please do post them in Nokia discussion board > Software > Nokia Ovi Suite, i m stressing this because, ur query will get replied soon if u post ur issue related to Nokia ovi suite in its respective forum, chances r there, users will think issues u post related to ovi suite in ovi.com section will related to ovi.com

PC Suite vs.Ovi Suite for Syncing N900

I am coming from Blackberry with no Nokia experience whatsoever. I am running Windows 7 and Outlook 2007. I am used to a 2 way – or 1 way sync for my Blackberry – because really both are needed. I have read that PC Suite has more features than Ovi Suite for sync. That they “dumbed down” Ovi Suite and it only has 2 way capability.
The N900 is coming… I ordered it tonight. What is really the best software to sync my Outlook 2007 contacts (and possibly calendar) although I have read Outlook Calendar may not be possible..??..
Thanks – I would hate to install what might not be the best software to sync this phone… I am hoping to avoid any rough patches if at all possible.

I agree that it is annoying that the full support is not there yet but for me that is far more preferable than having had to wait until that end of it was sewn up entirely for the phone to be released.
There's enough there between the phone andPC Suite to cover more than jusrt the bare essentials and it gives us something to look fotward to
True.  And this phone is so capable computer software to do "things" isn't as relevant. I haven't even had to do a battery pull or restart it. It is an amazing device for sure.
Also, I did test "copying and pasting" the converted music files from the Blackberry media card to the internal memoy of the N900 and it worked flawlessly! Even the album art work made it.  I still may check out Double Twist, but at least this way if "free."

Ovi suite should sync ovi maps

Hi,
just a gripe I hope Nokia will read. It would be nice if the ovi suite could 'sync' maps. What I mean is you can browse either the available maps or the maps on your phone. It can't show you the two together. What it *should* do, if Nokia actually used their own products, is show the available maps with some mark '*' to indicate which are already on your phone. When copying maps it should prompt you that a certain map is already on the phone and offer the opportunity to overwrite or skip.
You know, basic 1990's file sync stuff.
Maybe I'll send Nokia support an email.
Sander

Hi, look I really think you need to chill about this, you only need to update maps every couple of years, I work in the motor trade and most expensive factory fit sat nav systems are cd/dvd based and are generally not updated much more often than 18 months, the whole reason for loading maps onto your phone is to save data charges and speed everything up. If you have no maps on your phone navigation will still work if internet is connected as the phone will download maps 'on the fly' as it needs them, but it just slows things down and if you're out of your region will cost plenty in roaming charges (so download your foriegn destination on pc before you leave). Just enjoy your phone and free navigation

Ovi Suite Thunderbird Sync

The syncing between Ovi Suite and Thunderbird cannot be a 1:1 match as Thunderbird doesn't hold all the same fields as Ovi Suite. However, I really need to be able to customise the sync mapping between fields so that I get a useful address book out of the sync process.
As it stands, I put contact's personal numbers as "Mobile (Home)" or "Mobile (Work)", likewise with email addresses and orther details.
Currently, the sync only supports the basic "Mobile", "Email" etc fields, so my sync is next to useless as I end up with empty contacts in Thunderbird. Can we please gain the ability to choose which fields correspond to one another so I can get a useful addressbook out of the sync process?

unfortunately, there is not currently a way to map the sync with ovi suite, or pc suite for that matter.
sorry m8.

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 only showing some playlists co...

Hi,
i have created around 20 playists in ovi for my music and copied them 1 by 1 to the device.
I have just connected my phone to add some more music and in the section where it refreshes and displays what music is on the device, its now only showing 6 of those playlists however all of the music is still on the phone.
Does anyone have any idea whats happening here? i want to see whats on the device in OVI.
Thanks.

I am having exactly the same problem. Everything syncs except Calendar events.
Nokia C7 fully updated
Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290
Outlook 2003 (Spanish version)
Windows Vista fully patched (Spanish version)
When I select the sync options Ovi Suite correctly identifies the folder in Outlook.
Notes in Outlook sync fine.
I fixed one other previous problem by making sure I only had one profile under "control panel/mail. So that is not the issue.
Any help?

Active Syn works one way only with calendar

I need some help. I have a Treo755P with Sprint and I remotely syn my email, contacts, and calendar with my office Exchange Server. Everything works great except my Outlook calendar only syns "one way!" Input into my Outlook Calendar syns with my Treo755 Calendar, HOWEVER, input into my Outlook Calendar DOES NOT syns back to my Treo755. By the way everything else syns fine both ways!!! I have checked with our Exchange Server Administrator and everything is going on fine from there end, so it seems to be in the phone. I just discoved this issue but it appears by my Outlook Calendar that it has been going on a few months. Please help.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
One thing you can try is delete the server sync profile and then recreate it. Make sure you have all the server information needed before doing this. I'll continue researching this issue for other means of resolution.

Synchronizing one way only

Hello,
I have been struggling trying to figure out how to configure the BB desktop software to synchronize data only one way, from Outlook to the device, i.e. applying MS Outlook updates and additions to the device and not vice versa.
I went through the sync operation many times a few thousand entries in the address book). I experimented with the settings asking to accept changes/additions one-by-one and applying the same setting to all future changes but I have not been able to configure and execute a "one-way" syncronization operation.
Any help in explaining what I am doing wrong, and how I could achieve a one-way (Outlook >>> device) synchronization operation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Alex Donnini
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to synchronization, upper left hand corner is synchronization configuration, click on it. The grey "reset configuration" radio button
will be active now, press it. It says :resetting configuration information') now go back and click on the synchronization
configuration button. You are now taken to the setup wizard. On each option on the bottom it says "two sync" as a default option.
You can see where you can change it to one way, either to device or to outlook.
Thanks

Ovi Suite Calendar Sync Issue - crashes when updat...

Can you help me fix an Ovi Suite sync issue?
the Ovi suite will only sync when I select the time range as 3 weeks into the past (or less)
if I select 4 weeks into the past (or more) the Ovi suite crashes about 10 seconds into the sync
I'm using a Nokia C601, sync to Windows Calendar on Windows Vista
Ovi Suite Version 3.1.0.84
Device Software Version 014.002
I've tried all the obvious: uninstall / reinstall / reboot, updated to the latest version on softtware on both the phone and my PC.
I've uninstalled my previous Nokia PC Suite
I'm at a loss at to what else to try to get this working?

Could you please try this?
1. Please, check on Task Manager (press ctrl+shift+esc) if you see NokiaOviSuite.exe process twice on the process list? If yes, kill all the instances of NokiaOviSuite.exe, nokiaaserver.exe and NokiaMServer.exe. If not, a reboot should fix the issue.
or
2.Choose from Sync menu “Repair sync”. This operation may create duplicate entries in case the sync engine is not able match the records from different end points with each other. Also, all the deleted items which have not been removed from the other end points will be restored to the end point where the item was deleted.
or
3. Update phone software (Please take backup before going for software updates.
or
4. Atlast uninstall NOS

Nokia 5800 and Ovi Suite Contacts Sync Changes Pic...

Hi,
I have a Nokia 5800 and just installed the latest Nokia Ovi Suite (2.0).
It is a good tool, but I have a problem with the synching my contacts.
Befor Ovi sync, I use to associate pictures from my gallery with contacts. When I dial the contacts the picture of the contact took up most of the screen (until the contact answers the call - then it makes the picture small and puts it in the speech bubble)
After I sync'ed with Ovi Suite, the contact picture now shows up as a small - very small - thumbnail image during the call on the phone.
Is there something that can be done to protect this from happening, or a setting that can be changed in Ovi to use a large picture instead of a thumbnail?
My 5800 has the latest firmware installed (available to me in my country) - which is 31.0.101.
Thanks for the help in advance.

one more bump and then I give up on Ovi suite. Once again
