OVI Suite file association

I've installed Ovi Suite on win 7 64 bit.
First of all, ovi doesn't start wehn I connect my N95 8GB. I didn't touch the default setting to it is set to start when a phone is detected.
Once I start OVI Suite manually it recognizes my N95 8GB and everything seems to work fine.
However, when I try to run a .sis file, windows 7 doesn't associate this file with Ovi. when I try to set the file association manually, Ovi isn't an option amongs the available applications.
I've now installed PC Suite and it is now associated with .sis files.
I've then unistalled and reinstalled Ovi Suite, but it is still not the application associated with .sis and is still not available wehn tyring to set the association manually.
It still doesn't open when I connct the N95 8GB either.
any idea?
Thanks,

Hi Zkrisher,
If you want to have OVi run automatically when you connect your mobile, you need to enable both the options under startup as marked in the attached screen-shot.
The first option will enable to run the OVi suite applcation during the PC startup.
The Second option will enable to bring the application to the front once a phone is connected, even if it is minimised to the notification area (Right handside bottom)
The Second option will not work if the application is not running already.
Also for running any .sis or .sisx files with OVi suite, you need to associate these files with OVi suite application.
This can be done in two ways.
1) Right click on any .sis file and select open with option. In the pop-up window select Nokia Ovi Suite. (If you dont find it either under Recommended programs or other programs, you can browse the same from the installed location and select it).
Make sure the option " Always use the selected program.... " is selected ( Screen-shot attached)
2) Start -> type Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocal with a program. Locate .sis and .sisx files and assiciate both to Nokia OVi Suite if it is not associated to OVi suite
Hope this will solve your issue

Diwa

Ovi Suite Crashes When Connecting Phone: How to re...

Ovi locks up a minute or two after connecting the phone, always.
Cannot do a backup. Cannot do Outlook synchronization.
Initially it worked for a while.
How do you reset synchronization to start over?
What Ovi Suite files do you delete on the phone to do a synchronization reset?
To use maps properly, you need Ovi Suite.
Configuration Details:
XP SP3, 1GB of memory
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Model: 5800d-1b RM-428
Ovi Suite Now Uninstalled: V2.2.0.241
PC Connectivity Solution Now Uninstalled: 10.24.0.0
With Firmware: V40.2.005 was able to download maps.
After updating to firmware to: V50.2.005 phone connection crashes began.
Phone itself is working ok.
My solution:
Remove Ovi Suite & all traces of Nokia on PC.
Install PC Suite.
Now sync'ing works fine.
Notes:
* All other devices work fine on same USB connection.
* Rebooting makes no difference.

File manager missing in Ovi suite

I just bought E7-00 after my E90 and I was really surprised that file manager was missing in Ovi suite. This means I cannot transfer single files between PC and mobile phone. Difficult to use backup copies are not enough. Fortunately file manager still exists in old familiar PC suite, which works with E7-00 in spite of that Nokia says it is not meant for this device. I consider it stupid that I have to jump between two suites. It takes much time in vain. I wait that the next version of Ovi suite works better. Please, don't say that file manager is not needed!

Is it true?
Many thanks

I guess pc suite supports this ... Maybe you can give that a try
Show appreciation by clicking the kudos star :-), or gesture by typing thanks

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!
Fabian

Why can't OVI Suite sync files?

I have an N97 and use if quite a bit with office files. With PC Suite it automatically synced files in the Briefcase to a directory on the PC. This very useful feature seems to have been removed with OVI suite and I now have to manually copy files backward and forward.
Anyone suggest any alternatives? I'm currently considering going back to PC Suite as it contained more Sync capabilities and basically worked better. It also didn't keep popping up the main application screen on the PC each time I plugged my phone in.
Kev

Ovi suite is still very new compared to PC suite.
I use both Ovi and PC suite which allows me to use the best bits of both. They will happily run alongside each other.

Ovi Suite does not transfer video files

Ovi Suite does not transfer converted video files from PC to my N85.
After dragging, it takes a while to convert the file. Then it shows this message:
"Transfer completed.
1 file successfully transfered to N85
0 files failed"
But in reality, there is no existance of that file in my N85.
I have formated my microSD card, but to no avail.
Please help me...

Broken NBU file from OVI Suite

dear all
i backed up my nokia N95 with nokia ovi suite , result is a file with NBU extension about 120 MB. after i cleared all data on my phone, ovi failed to read the file. i tested other program for openeing it, but all not answered, please help...

Which other programme you tried ? Did you try NBUExplorer ?
..and for Nokia Suite to display the data you need to SYNC them . Back-up data will not get displayed in the Nokia suite, but will get stored in the .nbu file. You can use the RESTORE function in the Nokia Suite after connecting the phone to PC and all the data will be restored in the phone ...
BTW, hope you are using the latest version of Nokia Suite

Bug found on ovi suite 2.2.1.23

xp... logged in with a limited account... 5230 v21.0.004... connected by bluetooth
if i check for updates the software give always no updates to install
works well if ovi suite runs under an administrator account

Hey rainbowcrypt,
i feel this is not a bug as we do have some .jar and .jad software installation files available to install in Symbian phones thru ovisuite. This might be the reason for associating the .jar files to ovisuite. As satari told either you could use 'open with' to change the application you use everytime. Or in the same 'open with' option you have one more option to use the same application everytime you use. In this way you can permanently make the .jar files to be opened in java and not in ovisuite.

Nokia OVI Suite - Synchronisation failure without ...

I'm using Nokia OVI Suite 2.2.1.23 with a Nokia 7210 SuperNova (software version 07.23).
I have been noticing for quite some time that not all my messages make it into the OVI suite - some messages (usually associated with the same number) I can only read on my phone.
Furthermore, since a few weeks, my contact list won't synchronise anymore either. It starts up synchronisation, does not give an error, but the contact list on my phone is hopelessly behind compared to the one on my computer.
Does anyone have/had the same problems, and a suggestion as to how to fix it? Or does anyone know where I can find the synchronisation log files, so that at least I can figure out what goes wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kurt

I have probably same problem. I push the synchronization button and nothing happens. - Nowhere in the entire application. Sending SMS still works. Updating the software (which is most recent) does not work since software cannot connect to update server. Nokia OVI suite really sucks. Problems and problems over and over again. Why can't they develop a simple, fast and simply working synchronization software without the ballast of all the Multimedia stuff.

How to install ovi suite to a drive other than C:?...

how to install ovi suite to a drive other than c:??? my c: drive is almost full with other partitions perfectly free to install it, how do i do that? can i use previous versions of ovi suite to use with my e63? at this point, i'm unable to use ovi suite at all, because there's no room to install it on my c: drive.
allllllllso there's one more thing, when i originally had tried installing ovi suite on my computer i had more than 1gb free. after installing it i on'ly had 500mb free. i had only intended for it to use a very small amount of space, and since i also use my c: drive for virtual memory i quickly uninstalled it, looking for an option i'd maybe skipped over while installing it the first time. no luck. anyways, when i looked in the add/remove programs control panel the installed size of ovi suite was only 40-50mb. even after uninstalling ovi suite the extra memory space that seemed to all of a sudden taken up by the installation stayed used.
when looking at the file sizes of everything on my hard drive, (including system files and paging file) there is still a descreprency between the amount of memory used and the size of all files total on the drive. at this point im quite disgusted and disapointed in ovi suite as i'm mostly unable to use it to connect my phone to my computer and i'm also having problems with the CA101 cable as well. i guess i'll have to go check for another cable.
nokia!!! wake up and fix yo **bleep**!!!!
anyone have any solutions for the main problem? (installing to a drive other than c? is there support for this option in any of the new beta versions? can that be included in the newest betas? i'm suuuuuure i'm not the only one begging for this option!!!

Hi ostrenga4, sorry to hear about your experiences.
When installing Nokia Ovi Suite to PC, Windows makes "system restoration points", which are available to restore operating system to previous condition, if something goes wrong, for example in driver installation.
You can change install location of Nokia Ovi Suite with following:
- Download Nokia Ovi Suite install package from Nokia Ovi Suite pages
- Start Windows Command prompt
- From Command prompt, navigate to folder containing Nokia Ovi Suite install package, which you downloaded
- Start Nokia Ovi Suite install package with command line "Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller.exe /TARGET="D:\TestDir\Test"
- This results, that Nokia Ovi Suite installer creates folder D:\TestDir\Test (if that doesn't exist) and installs Nokia Ovi Suite there.
- Unfortunately, Windows Installer still keeps installer cache files and system restoration points in C: drive (or whatever your system drive is)
As you can see, this is possible, but it is very much recommend to have enough space for installing software into system drive.
Cheers, Samuli

File Associations in CS 5.5 for Win7

I preordered CS 5.5 Web Premium and just installed it. I also uninstalled my previous version Adobe suite (CS4). Now none of the file associations have been made for any of the Adobe related file types. So for example, psd files are now associated with quicktime. When I try to change the file association (set it to PhotoShop) it does not allow me to do so. It acts like nothing happened. What can I do? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

I have exactly the same issue affecting InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop had the same issue but it allowed you to set the default program. It seems the only way to do it is to open the program and open the document from there. This is a complete pain!

File associations in Bridge CC after updating to CC 2014

I am facing a problem with the file association settings in Bridge CC after having updated my other creative suite programs to version CC 2014.
In previous version I had the option when opening eg. PDF file to chose "open with", and then chose Illustrator or Photoshop. This option is no longer available. When using the Preference menu under file association I can only change the default settings to be either Acrobat or for some reason Firefox. When browsing for Illustrator or Photoshop and choosing the program the PDF file will only open in Illustrator or Photoshop as default not Acrobat as it is suppose to. Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

Thank you for the answer, but is doesn't fix the problem. The explorer settings lets me open pdf files in Acrobat, Illustrator or Photoshop.
The problem is that Bridge doesn't allow me to open pdf files in Illustrator.
When trying to solve the problem by altering the file type association settings, browsing and choosing Illustrator CC 2014, the pdf files will then open by default in Illustrator, and this is not what i want. I want the option to chose, open with Illustrator, and still have Acrobat as the default program.
Anybody know how to fix this?

How do you export messages from Ovi Suite?

As the title says, how do you export messages from Ovi Suite?
I know how to export messages from Nokia PC Suite, but it doesn't seem to be possible in the new Nokia Ovi Suite.
Here is how I would do it in the Nokia PC Suite.
1. I click the Messages icon to open Nokia Communication Center.
2. I click on the Messages option on the left pane to view only messages.
3. In the main window I mark the messages I want to export.
4. Then I go to File menu and chose Export.
5. Choose destination folder and I'm all set to export my messages from my Nokia.
I can chose between the formats CSV and VMG (vMessage) for export. If more than one message is marked only the CSV format is available. But what you can do to export several messages in the VMG format is to mark them all in the main window and press CTRL+C or right click and chose Copy to copy them all to RAM memory. Then all you have to do is create an empty folder on the desktop and paste them in there by pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and chosing Paste.
That's all there is to it, using Nokia PC Suite. So how do you do this in Nokia Ovi Suite? You don't, right?
And this **bleep** Ovi Suite is supposed to replace PC Suite?
Thank God I won't be needing neither of them much longer. I am switching to Android and HTC. Good luck with Ovi, the Ovi Player, the Ovi Suite, the PC Suite, the Symbian, the S60, the Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition), the Symbian^3, the Symbian^4 and what not.

I believe OVI took a step in the right direction with this option. I also believe it was made available due to the fact that OVI Suite cannot take a huge number of messages altogether. This option was made available so that the messages could be backed up.
However, I'd like to suggest the following, if possible.
1. Make Nokia OVI Suite be able to handle a huge number of messages.
2. Have the option to export only selected messages.
