PC Suite claims phone not detected on Sync

Hi, I'm using an E71 with the latest update of PC Suite on a work networked PC using XP Professional.
Until yesterday I was syncing through USB with no problems...
Yesterday although my device is connecting to the computer and syncs the image files when I try and sync the contacts/calendar PC Sync fails to find the telephone and I get a warning message in the Log to say that there is no phone recognised or the phone is not responding. It suggests I check the phone is in the idle state - and to the best of my knowledge it is - but how do I know for sure? (sorry to be dim)
Any ideas?
I have tried repairing the PC Suite, and also the PC Connectivity Solution and have uninstalled and reinstalled the PC Suite and rebooted the phone... nothing appears to be helping...
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hmmm... well repaired PC Connectivity Solution again, and tried a different USB port on my PC and hurrah it notices that my phone is connected and syncs the images once more (step up from first thing this morning).. however - it still flatly refuses to sync my contacts/calendar and during the sync the status bar gets somewhere like 12% across the screen and says "Waiting for Nokia E71..." for around 5 minutes before giving up entirely... which is roughly where I was yesterday...
When I go to Settins>Sync on my phone nothing happens either (and I have no options to alter the sync settings from my phone end)... is it some problem with my phone or is it software...
further sage words most appreciated... terminally confused...

  • PC and phone not detecting each other

    Basically I tried to connect my mother's n70 to my computer (vista Ultimate 32bit) using the CA-53 cable. However I was just given the prompt unknown device installed, and PC Suite was not detecting anything. So basically I had no choice but to just abandon it and try to connect my phone (5800) to the PC. However, the phone now does not detect being connected to the PC, and Ovi Suite cannot detect the phone as well. Trying it out on PC Suite, it gives me the error "No connection type available, wizard will now close" or something along those lines.
    Its the first time this has happened to me so I have no clue. I've already tried repairing, and uninstall reinstall but still nothing.
    Advice would be appreciated.
    Oh yeah, anyone knows of a way to get a hold of the actual files of the messages and contacts synced to Ovi Suite?

    My laptop doesnt have bluetooth, and I dont have a dongle. However its not cable, as I have three cables here (2 CA-101, and a CA-101D), and they all dont work.
    Anyway, I found a fix here about using PC Suite cleaner, I found one which was compatible with PC Suite 7, and now they can find the USB ports. The problem now is the phone still doesn't detect the connection. Oh well. I'll just try to give it a reset. I have a recent backup anyway.
    EDIT: never mind. After the PC Suite reinstallation where they started finding the USB ports again, and I just turned off my mobile for 5 min without the battery, I tried connecting it again and the drivers started installing. Thanks for the time anyway.

  • I phone not detected by mac

    hi guys, jus got a iphone 4s, but my desktop is not detecting it, though same comp is detecting my i pad.
    any suggestions

    yes.  Please look to the right in the "More Like This" box or search this forum.  Your issue has been addressed ad nauseum already.

  • Tired of paying for Apple's continued failure. Give us option on phone (NOT thru itunes sync) to MANUALLY delete songs from playlists or the iphone altogether.

    It happens every time I make iTunes music purchases: entire playlists get wiped out, and all I can sync onto the iPhone 5 is what I just purchased, UNLESS, YET AGAIN, I completely restore it to factory and rewrite everything all over.
    So sad, Apple.
    Yes, I have looked thru the forum threads yet again, and found no other working solution.
    Yes, I tried backing up the phone 1st but still get stuck with (expletive) I wanted off the phone, and stuff I wanted on there, ISN'T there.
    For whatever (insert expletive of choice) reason, it will NOT sync my old playlists.
    For whatever (expletive) reason, if I check "manually manage music" under the Summary tab, then go over the music tab, something (expletive of choice)  up in the software decides to uncheck the "Manually manage music" box under the Summary tab, and it just creates a zero-progress loop where I can't sync the old playlists, or even new ones I create, onto the iphone.
    Worse, songs I tried to take off of it long ago seem to manifest the (expletive) right back onto the iphone out of nowhere, and unless I completely restore, LIKE I'M DOING AGAIN, there is no working option I have found that removes the song(s) I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF.
    PLEASE, Apple, is it asking too much to create a music sync that WORKS CORRECTLY all the time?
    It is ONLY ever the music that does this.
    App syncing, photo syncing, all of that functions properly each and every time.
    And yet, oh look, it won't accept any playlists off my AUTHORIZED computer.
    GIVE US THE SIMPLE option on the next iPhone update so we can manually remove/delete unwanted songs from playlists on the iphone, or from the iphone altogether, WITHOUT needing to connect it to a computer thru a faulty iTunes software that obviously consistently fails to properly sync the correct music on and take off what we don't want.
    This is the final time I'm making the mistake of iTunes Store purchases until a sensible fix is implemented that addresses this fail sync issue.
    Again, WHY is it ONLY and only ever the music syncing that (expletive of choice to get the point across) fails, yet apps and photos and mail & phone contacts sync correctly every time?
    Yes, I read in the forum threads and customer support responses what needs to be checked and/or unchecked, yet all too often some software fail decides to revert those selections right back to where they were if I click another tab and come back to it (no, it's not an administrator thing, I am the only authorized user on the computers in question).
      I'm tired of the hassle of having to redo my music library all over again, restore the phone, and hope that once more it will have the correct songs I told it to sync and NOT have a bunch of crap I never checked for it to have on there in the first place.
    FIX THIS PLEASE.

    You're welcome.

  • Smart connect not detecting connections and phone not detecting headphones

    Hi
    The smart connect app in my Z2 used to auto launch the profile i set when my Blue tooth ear phones connect and disconnect but not anymore. Force stopping the app does not work. It was working before the lasted android update.
    Also my phone has stopped detecting my beats plug in headphones. Again it used to work prior to the software update last month.
    Sony if you're reading this please issue a patch soon thanks!

    Did you also try to clear data for smart connect?

  • LG mobile Phone not detected with USB cable!

    What should i do?
    My new LG KG810 Mobile does not Sync with my mac. are there some hacks available?

    BitPim supports many LG phones but not the Chocolate. 
    Given the poor support for Macs in Mobile Phones you really need to buy a phone on the iSync list if you intend to use it as such.

  • PC suite not detecting phone

    Hi,
    I have updated the firmware on my N80, but now PC suite cannot detect the phone, however, I can connect to the internet even if the phone is not detected.
    I installed the updated PC suite, uninstalled it, and reverted to the older version, nothing works.
    Can someone please assist?

    Hi everybody. After reading thru jinglebell method. I found an even easire method... just go to control panel add remove options and remove all the programs Nokia. This you can confirm if check the publisher column. The 4 programs i deleted were Nokia Connectivity Cable driver, Nokia Suite, pc connectivity solution,and windows driver package -- nokia pccsmcfd.....
    After this I restarted the computer and re installed nokia suite.... as soon as it was complete I attached the usb chord to my mobile and it was detected and worked normally...
    hope this helps others as well. Cheers!

    I have a solution. You see, I've updated pc suite from an old version to version 6.8x for my friend but his phone(N80) was no longer being detected by the pc suite. So i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still same problem. So I figured that there must be a conflict or something with the old version still probably existing in the system. So after I removed pc suite and connection cable from add/remove in control panel, I started manually checking if there is anything concerning nokia and I found that there is a folder called PC Connection solution under program files so i tried to delete it but couldn't so i deleted it from safe mode. After i did that, i deleted all registry keys by going to run and typing regedit: Under Local machine, under software there were two folders, nokia and pc connection solutions. I deleted both, and then restarted back into windows. I installed 6.8x (I don't know if it was 6.81 or something, but doesn't matter). Connection wizard came up, I plugged the usb chose the pc suite option on the phone and bang! everything worked normal. So that's how I got it to work. I don't think any other way would work except formatting windows
    I hope this will help people with this kind of problem.
    God Bless all of you.

  • Phone USB disconnect not detected

    On my one PC, PC Suite does not detect when I disconnect my E51 phone from the USB cable in PC Sync mode.
    This one happens on this specific PC, so it must be a setup problem there.
    I am running PC suite 6.85.14.1 on WinXP SP2 patched up to date. No problem on another box with same motherboard and software using the same phone.
    If I connect in data transfer mode, I use the "safely remove hardware" function of WinXP before I disconnect and all is fine. This is not available in PC Suite mode.
    If I unplug the cable from the phone in PC suite mode, PC Suite does not detect that the phone is disconnected, no matter how long I wait.
    After this, the whole USB system seems to be confused. No other USB devices are detected when plugged into any other USB port. After reboot all is fine again.
    I guess this is a Windows problem rather than a PC suite problem.
    Any idea what is going wrong and how to correct this?

    i had other similar problem with usb devices, maybe when we use more usb devices could be a conflict on system, does exist a tool that clean up all old usb connection?
    bye.

    The screen is black . i can.t get it to  respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync  apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can  hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light  up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation
