Ovi Suite won't sync old N82 messages to my new X6

Using the latest Ovi suite (updated through updates, not sure v number though)
I received an X6 today. Seems pretty nice so far.
However, had some issues transferring text messages between phones - it broke the dates on the MMS and left me with a bit of a messy inbox on my X6. 
So, I synced messages using Ovi suite from my old N82, and they all copied onto my PC fine.
However, if I now connect my X6 to my PC and hit sync messages, it just says 'done', and doesn't copy my messages from my PC to my X6.
Is there any way to do this? I'd like to keep all my old texts from my N82 and transfer them to my X6.

Hey,
As per your following words
However, had some issues transferring text messages between phones - it broke the dates on the MMS and left me with a bit of a messy inbox on my X6. 
So, I synced messages using Ovi suite from my old N82, and they all copied onto my PC fine.
Are you talking about MMS also or only SMS?  I'm bit confused, if its related to MMS too, NOS does not support MMS.
If its related to text messages, then same has to be checkd

  • Ovi suite won't sync with N82

    Hi, hoping someone can help here.
    I've never been able to sync my photos etc between my N82 (V20.0.062) with ovi Suite.  PC Suite works just fine, it syncs my calender, photos & videos etc without any issues at all but not Ovi.  Am I missing something?  I really want to use the new features in Photos such as the timeline etc but it just won't let me darn it!
    Thanks for reading this, please help!

    Hi,
    The firmware is V20.0.062 & it's the latest version of Ovi suite downloaded yesterday.  It recognises the phone as it shows me what photos are in my phone's gallery, it just won't sync.   Doesn't even think about it, just straight away pops up with sync cancelled.  Soooooo frustrating.  
    Is it because it's not the V3.0 firmware do you think?  I'm loathe to update as my phone is working just fine and these things never go smoothly when there's lots of third party apps involved....

  • HELP! pc suite/ovi suite won't read sms on my 5800...

    Hi all! I have a VERY BIG problem. I own a 5800, I have about 3000 sms on the memory card. I want to move them on my PC, so i can delete from my nokia. PROBLEM IS: neither pcsuite nor ovi suite (even 2.0) can access my sms. both software fail. here's what happens.
    pc suite: i run nokia communication centre, then it starts checking messages on my cell. after few seconds, it says there are about 2500 messages, at this point i see the bargoing from 0 to 70% real fast, then when it reaches 100% it says there are only about 50 messages on my phone (basically, it only lists the MMS, totally ignores sms)
    ovi suite: the first time i used it, i synced messages with my cell, and it only synced about 2200-2300 of them out of 3000. since then, every time i try to sync messages with it, it says that for some reason it cant' read the data from my phone OR that the usb connection doesn't work (i tried with bluetooth, also, and i get the same error, so its not the connection).
    in other words... i can read the sms fine on my 5800, it says there are over 3000, but when i try to access them with a pc software, it doesn't work for some reason.
    HERE'S WHAT I THINK MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.  some time ago, using pc suite, i did a restore of a backup. during the restore, i got an error while it was restoring the sms. at that time, i didnt pay too much attention, since i noticed all the sms on my phone were ok, none was missing. but what I THINK happened is that since then the sms structure on my 5800 is screwed... and for some reason, my phone can read them fine, but pc softwares dont.
    now my question is: WHAT TO DO? i dont want to lose all my sms... i NEED to copy them on my pc... then i can even format/reset my memory card, but i need to copy them first. any help? anything i could try? please help... thank you!

    first of all, thank you for your reply!
    no, very few of those 3000 sms are from operator/config messages and such... maybe 10 or 20...
    i tried nokia pc photos some weeks ago... and it worked, infact i can still see the sms/photos saved on my pc from that day. if i try it now, tho, i get the same errors i get with pcsuite/ovi suite... sync fails and basically does nothing, doesnt update any new sms (last one appears to be of the end of april, which is the last time i had used nokia photo).
    this seems to confirm my fear... for some reason, probably after that messed up restore i did, something in the sms structure on the memory card got messed, and now no software can read them properly, even the cell backup program. but for some reason, my nokia can read them fine, if i simply access the messages.
    question now is... does nokia have a tool to fix cases like this? i find it ironic that my cell can see all the sms but none of the nokia programs can actually access them. thank you very much!

  • Ovi Suite hangs on sync

    Hello, I just bought a Nokia N8 and wanted to sync with Outlook. The first time it worked, but after removing the phone and reconnecting the sync hangs at different stages. Sometimes in the preparation stage "Synchronisation wird vorbereitet", sometimes during sync. There is no error message, why it hangs. After deinstalling and removing any phone specific drivers from device panel I reinstalled the Ovi suite. First sync worked, second not. In my opinion, regular reinstallation for every sync is no option. Any other ideas? Windows 7 pro 64 bit, Ovi suite 3.0.0.290, Outlook 2003.

    Hi,
    N8
    Win7 x64
    Ovi 3.0.0.290
    I have exact same problem as OP.
    I spent 4 hours this morning attempting to sync contacts, which I eventually managed to do.
    I am now trying to sync Calendar & Tasks, but having no luck.  Ovi always hangs with one of two possible status messages (both of which were originally described by OP).
    Either:
    ...or...
    I have tried all suggestions put forward by mahayv in this thread, up to and including deletion of the MDataStore.db3 file.  BTW, deleting this file did not make Ovi Suite lose all contacts, messages etc., as mahayv indicated it would.
    When Ovi hangs on Sync, and I attempt to cancel, it then hangs again with the following message:
    After I then shut down Ovi, using File > Exit, both the program window and notification area green "Ovi" icon disappear, but two processes are still running (namely: NokiaOviSuite.exe and nokiaaserver.exe).  These processes must be manually terminated before Ovi Suite can be successfully restarted.  If I do not manually terminate these processes and try to restart Ovi Suite, then what happens is I get multiple copies of these processes appearing in task manager, but no Ovi Suite window will ever appear.
    Bottom line: Ovi Suite is not behaving remotely as it should.
    I have tried many possible solutions, suggested both here and in other threads and forums.  These include:
    Reinstalling Ovi Suite
    Repairing Nokia connectivity cable driver
    Reinstalling Nokia connectivity cable driver
    "Repair Sync" option within Ovi Suite
    Uninstalling ALL Nokia software and reinstalling
    Restoring a C drive backup I took about a week ago (i.e. before all this started) thus giving me a "clean slate" from which to try again
    I sincerely hope this issue is being taken seriously, as from my various net wanderings it looks like many people are having connectivity issues with Ovi Suite.  FWIW, I get the impression that the common factor is Windows 7 x64.
    As people have mentioned previously, Ovi Suite is a big let-down at the moment.  I really like my N8, but the longer I am without calendar sync, the bigger a problem this is going to become.
    Thanks mahayv for helping out so far - I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.

  • OVI suite won't connect any phone

    I'm having a regular issue with OVI suite; it won't recognise any phone connected to the PC!
    When this happens, which is quite often, the PC recognises a device being attached (the usual USB jingle), the phone recognises the connection, even OVI Player recognises the phone just fine; but OVI suite won't. Connect new phone picks up nothing.
    It happened with my old N85 and does with my new C7. I now have version 3.1.0.86 but it happened with previous versions too.
    The only way I've found to "wake it up" is to repair the installation in Wondows control panel, it then works fine. In fact I just updated to veriosn 86 today but that new installation didn't work till after I'd repaired it!
    I have XP SP3 installed.
    I realise this could be a PC issue not an OVI suite one but how come OVI player works fine so I can load music etc?
    Any ideas anyone please? Repeated "repairs" are getting annoying!!
    Thanks.

    Could you please try this?

  • IPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.

    My iPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.
    Why not?! It synced fine yesterday and I have made no changes. How do I get it to stop giving me the error message and sync?
    I have tried shutting everything down. I have tried everything I can think of short of wiping the phone by hitting "Restore" and I really do not want to do that.

    Thank you.
    I actually figured it out a while ago.
    Turns out it is not an issue with the iPhone or iTunes.
    By process of elimination I deduced it could be a permissions issue with the hard drive and/or folder that holds the contents of my Music Library.
    For example, if the "Sharing & Permissions" settings (found in the "Get Info" Window) are set to "Read Only" on the internal or external drive that contains your Music Library for iTunes then you can not write to the disk. Therefore, you do not have privelges to make changes to the internal or external drive and you get the error message when you try to sync with the information on that drive.
    Here's the kicker and million dollar questions:
    How did the "Sharing & Permissions" settings get changed on my Hard Drive without me doing it?
    Why did my iPhone sync fine yesterday and suddenly today the Hard Drive is doing this?
    I have to set all priveleges to all drives to "Read & Write" and that just doesn't seem very secure to me.

  • Ovi Suite will not sync with 5800 ExpressMusic

    Was using PC Suite 1.1 without a problem, then upgraded to Ovi Suite 2.1 and now can't sync Calender.  Everything looks as though it's going fine... the task bar says syncing and gets right to the end, before displaying error code Sync Cancelled 80043c93
    WinXp SP3
    Great! Thoroughly tested before release then!

    Phone:  Nokia 5800 XM firmware version 40.
    Desktop OS: Windows 7
    Ovi Sute version: 2.1.0.87 (clean install after uninstallation of ALL previous Nokia sottware products)
    Sync setup:
    Sync all = contacts, photos, messages, calendar
    Contacts are to be synced with MS Outlook 2007 and Ovi online
    Calendar is to be synced with MS Outlook 2007 (wth Outlook preservation of data in case of conflict)
    When trying to do a "sync all" Error message:
    "Completed syncing the following content types: Messaging
    Failed to sync the following content types: Contacts and Photos and Calendar.
    Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again.

    When trying to sync Contacts alone:
    "Reading contacts from Nokia 5800 XpressMusic failed. Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth."
    When trying to sync Calendar and Tasks only::
    "Could not sync calendar item and tasks. Plug the USB cable into your device again or connect via Bluetooth. The sync again."
    If someone has any ideas why this is happening, please advise.
    Also the "My Pictures", "My Videos" and "My Music" folders are by default selected as the folders for Pictures, Videos and Music WITHOUT the possibility to change them.

  • Nokis Ovi suite, unable to sync. contacts

    I have deleted my Nokia PC suite and I have installed Nokia Ovi suite. I have connected my new phone; 5530 which Ovi suite has accepted but when I sync using the usb cable I can't see that my contacts have been copies to Ovi, if they have I can't find them.
    Do contacts copy to the Ovi suite or only over the air to Ovi?

    Dear cricfancy,
    I also do the same as you PIM data with PC suite and multimedia with OVI both the latest versions. The reason is that I wish to sync PIM with my work computer which syncs to an exchange server and I want to keep my multimedia on my private PC (I also like the archive of my SMS). The problem is that at some point (unfortunately I don't know exactly what I have done - I have posted previously on this but no replies) my multimedia has stopped syncing to OVI. The USB and bluetooth connections to OVI suite are succesful but OVI does not see the new pictures and SMS that are not synced. Sync is successful but it reports that there were no transfers.
    I have looked at the SYNC settings on my N85 and with the PC Suite profile I can see that the PIM data has synched successfully but the multimedia, text messages, media options are not ticked. These I have tried ticking and then re-synching but no success. I have looked in the options for these and most of them show the database on the phone, but the field for the Remote databases "must be defined". I have tried looking in the help and around the net for these settings. Do you knoe where I can find the default settings for OVI and PC suites? Does one need two sync profiles, one for OVIsuite and one for PC suite. I can see that I have one for Nokia Maps.
    Any hints would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me bonkers for months now knowing that I don't have a browsable archive of my multimedia on my pc - of course i take regular backups.
    cheers

  • Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 and Messages

    I have been using Ovi Suite for a while now, I notice 4 days ago. When I would sync it was faster then normal. I didn't think about it. But today, I noticed that the last date for message in Ovi Suite is 04/04, while today is the 9th, I can browse the phone inbox with in Ovi, and see my message 20+, however when I say sync, it quickly runs and says no message to transfer.
    Things I have done thus far.
    -> Power Cycle Phone
    -> Power Cycle Computer
    -> Used the Repair Sync A few times.
    -> Removed Message from Sync Setup and Saved and Restarted Program the reselected the Messages again.
    -> New Software for Phone just released too, updated to that. No Change.
    All other fucntions in Ovi are working as far as I can tell. Just Messages has stopped.
    Anyone have any ideas.
