PC Suite - No Sync on Vista & latest 6.85

I have a Nokia 6300, Firmware V:05.00
Running Vista Business and Outlook 2007 fully patched, PC Sync did not work with Version 6.84 months ago and I thought at last a cure with 6.85.12.0! -to no avail.
Same problem exactly, when either Settings or Sync button are clicked - nothing happens at all, no action, no wizard just like it has not been clicked. other users months ago in 6.84 were claiming the same with Vista and we were told 6.85 would solve this.
I nearly sent this phone back in the summer when I couldn't Sync it, too late now. It is so easy with an XDA and Windows Mobile device centre but I have uninstalled all that in case of conflict.
Can anyone save my sanity please and get these buttons to click/work?
Thanks
Phil

I now have 100% proof it is a Nokia software fault on the Vista? Office 2007 platform.
As my XDA finally went deaf in the earpiece receiver I had to rely on the Nokia, without contacts or diary on the road the tool was useless for a mobile business worker.
In desparation I fired up an XP laptop on our office network, created a new user account and opened a new Outlook 2003 profile.
I then deleted the pst file.
Copied a backup of my Outlook 2007 pst from the Vista machine across the network to My Docs on the XP laptop.
Next I opened Outlook 2003 and when it could not find the default pst, directed it to the copied one in My Docs.
Now I installed Nokia PC Suite 6.85 on the XP laptop.
Connected the Nokia 6300 when asked.
EUREKA!!!!! when the Settings button on the Sync menu was pressed THE WIZARD APPEARED
...and the Sync worked flawlessly, 386 contacts copied from Outlook to the phone and many diary appointments and Notes.
All these function properly in the phone itself as well
BUT...this is a right pain in the a... for me to have to boot up the laptop every time I want to Sync and copy the latest OL 2007 file from the Vista pc to the laptop.
I dont even dare want to plug the phone back into the Vista pc, or should I - what would happen?
Does this not give a clue to the Nokia programmers of how/where to fix this for Vista/Office 2007
Regards
Phil

PC Suite not syncing with Vista Contacts

OK, somebody PLEASE help!
Here's the vital info:
Windows Vista Home Premuim
(no Servict Pack listed)
PC Suite Version 7
Nokia XpressMusic 5310
Connected via USB
Set to sync to Windows Calendar and Contacts
However, when I sync, I DON'T see ALL the contacts in Windows Contacts. They are visible from my PC Suite phonebook folder, but don't sync to my computer.
I see most contacts, just not all.
These contacts are NOT set to private. They are NOT being saved to the memory card. Some do have special characters(. @) but if I take those characters out, they STILL DON'T sync.
I've tried to find answers before, but no luck. ANYONE OUT THERE?

HI ohjones,
Please look out for contacts does it contains "\" symbols too on your phone, if so, kindly remove all the specail characters from your contacts and then try, as i do faced these sort of problem earlier

Ovio Suit stopped syncing with C6

I recently bought a C6 and set up Ovi Suite to sync with Outlook.
Everything worked a few times but now Ovi Suite does not sync anymore.
It shows a Sync All button but nothing happens when I click on it.
The Last Synced dates remain stuck at 6 days ago.
I repaired then reinstalled Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23
When I clicked Sync Now a breif message appeared saying Sync Cancelled.
The Last Synced dates then appear, and are still stuck at 6 days ago.
The phone has the latest device software - updated, then re-installed. 11.0.029
I am running WIndows XP SP3.
If the sync doesnt work the phone is useless to me.
Looking in Google lots of people seem to be unhappy with Ovi Suite and switching back to PC Suite.
Any thoughts? It is incredible frustratin not to mention a waste of time. Please please please help before I start regretting this purchase decision.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem has recurred.
I could sync twice. Then everything got "stuck" again.
Clicking on any of the Sybc buttons did nothing. No response. No reactions.
The sync date/time is unchanged.
I ran the Ovi installer and repaired the software. Took AGES. Restarted.
Re-paired the phone (cumbersome, annoying, and had to reset all the preferences).
Clicked on Sync All and the indicators changed to "Waiting to be synced..."
No actions. Nothing.
Even if I had to re-pair the phone everytime before sync is a no-go solution. As to reinstalling Ovi and re-pairing every time? No way...
(vent)
Is it time to declare this an official waste of time?
Should I go back to PC Suite? And just never ever boher upgradingeither the software or the phone?
I am seriously SERIOUSLY disappointed Nokia. This is now looking like my last Nokia phone ever. As I mentioned, if I cannot sync, I may as well use a cheapie $50 phone just for calling and move the note taking elsewhere.

Nokia suite not syncing full contact details

Hi - I've just upgraded my 10-year old mobile to a Nokia 300. I've got the latest version of Nokia Suite, to enable me to edit my Contacts properly on-screen. Trouble is, it refuses to send the full details to the phone. Where contacts have a mobile number and a home landline (as most do!), one or the other - usually the mobile, ironically - is left out or just ignored in the sync. The shop has advised me to edit all such contacts manually on the phone itself.
Anyone know a way to force Nokia's Nokia Suite to do the sync-to-Nokia phone job properly?

It appears that telling Nokia Suite to sync is insufficient. You have to drag the full version of a contact from the PC list to the phone list and tell the suite to copy it; or vice versa.
Hope this helps anyone else suffering this infuriating "software glitch" as techsup call it.

Calendar sync failure with latest software

I get a message telling me to send a log to Blackberry support (Synchronisation error. A program error occurred at line 140 in .\Error.cpp. Please report this error by sending a log to technical support) when the calendar sync fails (using latest software). Only problem is, I can find no way of doing this from the support pages. Can someone tell me how to contact support please?

No,
I found a response to a similar problem in the knowledge database, but doing the workaround (deleting all monthly recurring calendar entries) didn't fix it. I find it astonishing that there are about 100 articles in the knowledge database telling people to contact support, but nothing tells you how to!!

My ipod gen 2 does not sync with the latest itunes

I reset my ipod gen 2 to factory settings and version 4.2.1 will not sync with the latest iTunes.

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with that shuffle (it has a mini-dock at the shuffle end)? The docking cable for the current 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle fits, but it will not work. The connector is different.
When you say, "does not sync with iTunes," do you mean it does appear in iTunes (in the sidebar under DEVICES) but does not sync, or that it does not appear in iTunes at all?

Can't get PC Suite to sync with Outlook folders

When I try to set up PC Suite to sync with my Outlook contacts (in Personal Folders) by pressing "Select Folders" the application hangs - every time. I was using a 6230 - and now want to get my phone contacts onto a 6230i. Running XP SP2 and PC Suite 6.8.21 Tried it with Outlook running and not running. Only seems to work if you sync with the main Outlook contacts folder. Have worked around the issue by moving all my contacts to a temp folder, syncing the phone with the main folder, and then moving the contacts around, but it's not very elegant... Any ideas? Stephen

I found out, that the problem what we have is our Public Folder Structure in the company. We have more as 40'000 public folders in this structure.
Now i find out that when i start my Outlook in a offline modus i can selct my special folder after i press the "Select Folder" button.
When i try the same thing in online modus the PC-Suite hangs...
The only combinations that i see is the Public Folder.
I try a test in the evening: I push the button "Select Folder" and have run my PC over the Night. On the next morning the Window was appear.
Also was is my problem the Public Folder Structure that the PC-Suite scans after i push the button "select Folder"

unable to sync ipad2 on latest itunes software (10.4) on windows vista

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Why can't touch Sync with Vista Calendar same as iCal file

Why in the world can't the touch sync with vista calendar? it exports the same ics file as iCal. I'd rather not spend the absurd money for Outlook 2007 just to backup my calendar so I don't lose it in firmware updates.
Also it would be very nice to edit my calendars on my computer as well.

With Windows, iTunes can only sync files from Outlook, and nothing else.
It can only do it properly through Outlook, as iTunes is only configured to find the files in Outlook at that time, and no other program.

HT1386 My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
I would then close iTunes and then reopen it. Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased.
Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open. You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process. Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
I hope that helps.

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

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."

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
Hav a g8 day

Sync Windows Vista Calendar with PC Suite & N95

Is anyone aware of a way to sync my N95's calendar with the new (and improved) Windows Calendar which comes free with Vista?
I'm using PC Suite 6.83.14.1 and this can only sync with Windows Vista Contacts (not calendar).
