Ovi Suite Mac?

Hi, just wondering if you can use Ovi Suite on a Mac?? thanks

Final word on Ovi Suite for Mac: Never going to happen.
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-ovi-suite-3-0-beta/discussion/21168/when-is-ovi-suite-for-mac-c...
The link above is to a moderator post regarding Ovi Suite development at Nokia's beta labs. The author is teemukoo and a direct quote from his post includes, "Sorry to inform you that Nokia Ovi Suite for Mac is no longer in our plans. It was release as an internal alpha, but never made it to beta.".
So after more than 3 years of eagerly waiting for Ovi Suite on my Mac, they abandonded the product without ever even releasing a beta. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was looking forwad to having this functionality...
I suppose that back in September 2008 when they said "no mention of the timeframe", they kept silent for a very good reason. ( source for this quote: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10038201-1.html )
At least the not-yet-released Windows Phone models from Nokia will already have Mac support, according to the beta-labs post linked to above. Not sure that this makes me feel any better, though Microsoft can't be much worse at Mac software project management than Nokia has been.
I suppose I'll take this as a good thing: insead of sitting here in a Bad Relationship with the Ovi Suite team, we've just now finally broken up. The relationship is over, like breaking up with a girl/boy-friend they can't let us down anymore. They are now only an ugly memory.
In these past few years of waiting for a Mac version, I've eventually gotten myself a Windows PC (changed jobs from a Mac centric office to a Windows centric office) and I have to say: Ovi Suite for Windows leaves a lot to be desired too. The only real reason I keep it installed is for updating my firmware; or it would be if there was ever a new firmware released for my region (Anna is due to come out about 1 month ago, right?) - I assume it will work when the time comes, but I've never had occasion to be able to try it.

N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

since that,i've been understand to download nokia ovi suite so that i can utilize nokia e7 as modem. btw, until now i still didnt find where can i get software ovi suite for MAC?in web nokia, there're software ovi.suite but it was for WINDOWS.
can somebody help me?
tq

Fortunately that's pretty easy with a Nokia, just plug your Nokia with the usb cable to your mac, Mac OS will notifiy you to create a modem configuration, that will be something like this:
In the modem Manufacter: you choose Nokia, then Model: GPRS (GSM/3G), and on the APN: you should put the same address as you find in your phone internet configuration, for example in Vodafone Portugal is: internet.vodafone.pt
You can find your phone internte connection configuration on your Nokia in a similiar place like this: Definitions -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->Internet -> then you will find the name of your operator probably, just press options and edit -> (your must close all connections to edit first, just put your phone in offline in the profiles menu (silent, office, outdoors etc), when your internet config opens you will see Access Point Name: example: internet.vodafone.pt that's probably the only data you will need, just put in Mac OS X as said previously!
Other alternative with not cables involved is to use JoikuSpot app, with this app you can share your phone internet connection with any computer with WiFi, in a nutshell your phone will act as an WiFi Internet Acess Point.

Just keep in mind that if your phone charges by usb, the cable solution is more battery friendly to your phone, but not for your Notebook

Ovi Suite upgraded 6220 Classic. Can I bin home sc...

I hadn't backed up my phone in 2 and a half years (I'd previously done so with Nokia PC Suite), so I thought I should create a fresh back-up. To do this I connected the phone to my Dad's PC laptop (running Windows Vista Home Premium) as my own computer is a 10 year old Mac which won't run PC software natively.
The PC detected the phone, automatically installed some 6220 Classic device drivers onto itself, and then asked for permission to update 2 different bits of software on the phone, which it did quite quickly & easily. (The version numbers of these 2 pieces of software both went from 1.0.0 to 1.x.x after the updates were applied - I can't recall the exact version numbers, but one of them became 1.5.x).
After this the PC downloaded & installed PC Suite. At the point where I was asked if I wanted to run PC Suite, I was presented with a button offering me the option to download, install & run Ovi Suite instead. I accepted.
Once Ovi Suite was running, it told me that it wanted to update my phone's software, but to do this it would need to move all the data from the phone to the PC, do the update, and then put everything back again. I agreed, and this (lengthy) process took place. I had to log into my Nokia account near the beginning of this process.
After the process completed & the phone restarted itself, I was asked for permission to re-update the 2 small pieces of software that the PC had originally updated on the phone. (Strangely, after the Ovi Suite wipe & restore, the version numbers had reverted to 1.0.0, but this repeat of the updating took them back to 1.x.x again in both cases).
After everything was complete, I successfully backed all my data up from the phone to the PC.
Because of the Ovi Suite wipe, upgrade & restore, many settings/preferences had reverted to their factory defaults rather than to my preferred settings. I've been able to put everything back to how I like it apart from 2 things:
1. The main/home/start screen, rather than just having my chosen wallpaper shown, has a row of icons overlaying the top of the wallpaper, with a dotted line below them, a summary of today & tomorrow's calendar entries below that, another dotted line, a "Search: Internet and My content" line, another dotted line, and then a "Share online" line. I can't seem to get rid of all this - is there any way to?
2. This is related to problem 1. Previously I had the four directions of the "Navi" scroll key (plus the centre button) set to my five preferred commands. Since the upgrade there doesn't seem to be any way to change their functions. Up, down, left & right now move a highlight around the icons & lines referred to in the paragraph above, and the centre key is labelled "Open". If I go to Menu -> Settings -> Phone Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Standby Mode -> Shortcuts, I can assign whatever I like to the Left & Right selection keys as before, but there are no entries to allow me to assign anything to the Navi scroll key. Instead I can assign whatever I like to Shortcuts 1 through 6 - i.e. I can choose which 6 icons should overlay the top of my wallpaper. The problem is I don't want any icons overlaying my wallpaper, and I want to restore the ability to customise the Navi scroll key's functions on the home screen - is there any way to make things how they were, without somehow wiping the phone & restoring it to how it was before Ovi Suite did its worst?
Many thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While I was fiddling around with my phone first thing this morning I actually figured out the answers to both problems myself, almost by accident, but many thanks for the reply anyway.
Just to give a precise version of the answer above for the 6200 Classic, anyone in this situation should go to:
Menu -> Settings -> Phone settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Standby mode -> Standby theme
and change "Horizontal icon bar" to "Basic". This will solve problem 1.
Pressing "Back" then "Shortcuts" will reveal that the options to alter the Navi key functionality are now also available (solving problem 2).
Simple when you know how!

Nokia N9 - 600 euros and its Ovi Suite Calendar su...

For a phone priced at 600 euros you would expect to have the same feature as the lesser phone versions released by Nokia.
For how long is Nokia thinking it can fool people with good hardware but lousy software support ?
People will catch up and skip on the Nokia phones.
Untill then, is Nokia saying that a 600 euros phone will not have Calendar synch support in ovi Suit ?

Nokia N9 does not support Ovi Suite, but there is new lightweight and simple to use Nokia Link application for your PC or Mac: www.nokia.com/nokialink . With this application you can easily copy photos, videos and music to your N9.
For Outlook contacts and calendar you can use the Mail for Exhange account, that will also synch your email. You can find guidance here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-6BE14793-...
For directly syncing contacts from your old phone to the N9 you can use the widely compatible contact syncing. You can initiate this from the Phonebook> Options> Import contacts or from the Settings:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n9/user-guide?ccf_name=nokia-n9/guide/GUID-D546BDA9-...
For preloading maps, you no longer need to have your computer, but can do this directly from the N9's Map application. From the settings you can choose> Manage maps> App maps. There you can preload country maps over WLAN connection.

Comments for Nokia Ovi Suite

I just got my new C7 several days ago and started to experience this nice smartphone. I am using the software Nokia Ovi Suite to download maps for C7 which is helpful.
In geernal, this software feels like iTure for Mac products. I have some suggestions to improve it as following:
1) I hope to download maps on the computer by Ovi Suite, and then transfer them to the cell phone. If I can do so, I do not need to connect cell phone with the computer for a long time and I can quickly update and delete the maps in the cell phone by local map files on the computer.
2) I hope to use Ovi Suite to mange pictures, videos and others. Not only copy files from the cell phone but also append the files into the phone. The best way would be use the Ovi Suite as a library and synchronize it with the cell phone.

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!

Nokia OVI Suite issues Vs OVI and Mobile Media Is...

Hi Guys,
I have came across some of the users of this discussion forum, posting their Nokia OVI Suite related issues in this discussion forum, i would suggest, they can post their Nokia OVI Suite related issues in PC and Mac Software Under Software Sections, so that their issues will be replied quickly

Unfortunately you cannot control where users post and they are highly unlikely to see your post before posting theirs.
All you can do is read their post more carefully and if you are uncertain if they are referring to the ovi site or ovi suite ask them which they are using.
If you notice a post that you feel is in the wrong section report it to a moderator and they will move it.

Several Ovi Suite "problems" with N82 | Need'sum h...

I've got a few questions about my N82 and the new Ovi Suite Beta.
• The first of all, I pressed the "tools>Software Updates", and it said to me that I could download the new Ovi Maps 3.0. When I tried this, after a while the phone said "Cannot install, it is built in" or something. I have the Maps 1 version I think, and I just can't get it to update it!
• Where can I find the "Nokia Applications" on the Ovi, so that I can install .sis files (like games, themes and etc).
• How do I delete music on my phone via the Ovi Suite?
• How do I sync pictures from my phone with Ovi Suite instead of the "Images" folder on my computer?
...these are some questions I have atm now,
but don't get too comfortable with this, cuz' there may be more.
I hope that people are positive, and that they can help me (and the others who're in the same position) with these questions.

Hi,
As of now Nokia OVI Suite 2.0 as you mentioned is still in BETA stage, it may take a while to graduate from beta labs You can search for n-gage www.n-gage.com/
So you are using Nokia OVI Suite 2.0(NOS 2.0) i guess, if yes, sync your phone's music file with NOS 2.0, once sync is over for a test, delete a song from NOS, it will ask if you want to delete from phone too, if you want you can delete the song, if it goes successfully, you can try to delete the unwanted songs
To sync your phone's pictures with the pc, i recommend you to install Nokia Photos, a pc application, your personal way of managing your digital multimedia diary
http://sites.hardwarezone.com/sg/nokiazone/content/featured-articles/nokia-photos-photo-album-redefi...
For your OVI Suite realted queries, you can post your queries under PC and Mac software(in this same forum ), so that your query will be replied by your experts @ quick time that in this forum as this is meant for OVI.com etc.,
