PC Suite - no USB and Serial Connection Type avail...

I have been trying to solve this problem for days now. I have Windows XP and Nokia 5310. After I installed Nokia PC Suite, there is no USB or Serial connection type in the Connection Manager; it only has Blue Tooth and Infrared conection available. I have install and uninstalled PC suite and used PC Suite Cleaner to clean the installation. I also went into the add and remove program in the control panel and click on "change" to fix the Nokia Connection Manager and Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver. It still didn't work. The thing is that the first time when installed PC Suite on my laptop, it did have USB connection option. Later after uninstalled PC Suite and reinstalled it, it start to have this problem. I am extremly frustrated. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem by following your instruction below:
Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
Reboot your computer
Download and install PC Suite here.
Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
Maybe when I uninstalled Chinese version of PC suite, the order in which it was uninstalled was not the one you suggested above. So，I followed your instruction and uninstall order to uninstall PC Suite again. I also uninstalled all the antivirus, spyware, and firewall before I reinstall the PC Suite. It worked; then, I reinstalled all the other security software again after I had reinstalled the PC Suite. Although it worked, I still didn't know what exactly cause the problem the first place, PC Suite version, Security protection software, or the order which it was uninstalled? All it matters is it's working.

any ideas how can I use USB as serial connection to router?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
GREAT FIRST POST!! Very clear and specific. You don't know how rare that is
Is the laptop in a docking bay?
Content "encryption" meaning Content protection is turned off, right?
Are you able to backup and sync with the Desktop software?
Do you have the correct folders on the card?
Blackberry, music, ringtones, pictures, videos, voice notes?
(blackberry has to be first).
Last one, how did you format the card?
Thanks

PC Suite "There is no connection type available th...

Hi All
I just purchased a Nokia 6300 and want to sync to my PC. When I run the software the messge on the bottom of the screen states " No phone connected" When I hit the Get connected button next to the message the connection wizzard opens, then I click next and an error message appears " No connection type available therefore connection to the phone cannot be established. The wizard will now close "
Can anyone help solve the problem
Gateway 1615, vista, pc suite 6.84.10.3, McAfee security enter, mozilla firefox browser,
Thanks
Cousinvinney

Success!
From the current and other comments I made it after 3 days efforts on and off!
This is the sequence of events from the start.
Start Point
A working earlier installation for a Nokia 6230i but which would do everything for my new Nokia 6300 except Sync (Menus greyed out.
Before doing anything else, make an image of your system partition (I use Acronis so you can restore the known working image if anything really goes wrong.
Downloading new versions for the new phone does not work fro this staring point! Don't even go there.
Step1
Uninstall PC Suite
Reboot your machine
Installing the new software will still not work yet. You will hit the Problem with Registry key(s) access.
You now need to delete all the REGISTRY KEYS associated with Nokia . They don't all have Nokia in the key name!
Go to the RUN box and type regedit
Browse HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes and right click and Delete every folder with Ncl at the start (e.g. NclPhonet)(I had 3 of them)and every Nokia entry (I had 1) and the Secure Platform key folder.
Exit regedit
Also, and this appeared to be the final problem I had which may have been left around from earlier aborted installs) in Windows Explorer go to ProgramFiles, and manually delete the PC_Comnectivity_Solutions folder (if it exists).
Now I installed from the CD provided with the Nokia 6300 phone and it installed without an issue and the bluetooth connection picked up the phone and BINGO the SYNC menu was not greyed out!
Phew!
All synced up now again and phone is usable!
Hope that helped.
I take no responsibility for any problems you may experience in trying to follow what I did, as my system my be different to yours , but the backup image should get you back to square 1 if you really mess up.
Cheers, and thanks to all the other guys on the blog for their hints.

PC Suite says no connection types available - but ...

I've a 6500 Slide. I've installed the latest PC Suite 7.0.8.2.
I have Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
I used to be able to connect with PC Suite and update (etc.) but recently, after the most recent PC Suite upgrade, it doesn't recognise 'CONNECTION TYPES' on my machine.
The USB cable and port work fine - in Windows I can drag and drop files.
So why won't PC Suite recognise the cable and allow me to use the mobile through PC Suite?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice.
I've removed batteries and SIM cards from the mobile etc.
All help gratefully received.
Thanks

I have the same problem too...may be its the new pc suits problem....
i uninstalled the new one and installed an older version but my problem got worse...now my N70 hardware wount even install...
It says, unable to install n70 USB phone parent ....
Please give a solution...

Cellphones, bluetooth and serial connections

I have used a GPRS-connection with my Powerbook connected to my cellphone via bluetooth for a couple of years now. However, I have one problem with this setup - I have several cellphones (A, B, C) and subscriptions (1, 2, 3) and I can only connect with the most recently paired phone. In other words, if I first pair A with my computer and try to connect using 1 it works fine. I then pair B and try to connect through 1 (I have moved the SIM-card for 1 from A to B) it still works fine but when I now try to connect using A, the connection, and this is no surprise, fails. The reason it is no surprise is because the computer still tries to connect using B.
I don't know why this happens, but there seems to be some limitation in Mac OS X/the Bluetooth setup process which only allows it to use the most recently paired phone.
In other words, in the situation described above, the only way to be able to connect using A again is to "unpair" both A and B and the "re-pair" A.
Very annoying. However, after digging around a bit in the Bluetooth prefs I found: Devices tab -> select a phone in the device list -> Edit Serial Ports… where you can add serial ports (two different types of serial ports: "Dial-up networking" as well as "Serial port") for your devices and then make them visible in the Network pref pane. I guess this means that it is possible to add a serial port that belongs to a specific BT-device and then create a network location that uses this port/device and suddenly my problem would have disappeared.
The problem is that this window is unsupported. Yes, I have called Apple Assistance and they specifically says that this window is not supported by them, not even if I paid a technician or engineer at Apple (I support more than 20 users at my company that needs this functionality, hence my eagerness to pay for support). They actually laughed at me when I said I was prepared to pay to have this issue escalated.
Back to my question: I have tried to add both types of ports in different combinations but when I try to connect it still fails. In Mac OS X I get the following error message:
The modem has unexpectedly hungup. Please verify your settings and try again.
and a verbose internet connection log looks like this:

Any ideas how to get this to work?

I wonder if just using Network>Configure>Show>Network Port Configurations, then selecting the existing Bluetooth/Serial connection and duplicating it as many times as needed, the editing them wouldn't help... then you could just have a location for eack Phone.

Photosmart Plus - Simultaneous USB and Wifi Connection?

I am looking to purchase the Photosmart Plus wireless All-in-one, and want to connect it to my home desktop computer via USB, and also to my existing wireless network (I already have a router set up) so my laptop can also print wirelessly. Is it possible to connect one computer to this printer via USB, and also have the printer connected to the wireless network at the same time?
Thank you!

PC Suite 5.8 and phone connectivity.

Hi,
I have installed PC Suite V5.8 and have a CA-42 cable with a 6021 phone on XP SP2.
I run connection manager, plug in the phone and it appears. I go to advanced and select Com4. I have Content Copier running as well and as soon as the phone has been added it appears in the Phone Selector on Content Copier. However it is greyed and when selected, you can't press OK as it is greyed out.
As it is seeing the phone, I don't understand why I can't use it, any suggestions ?
Thanks, Graham.

The latest version is pc suite 7. You can download here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144909 to check if it works for your 6021.

Tiger and USB and Classic connection problems

I have two instances where a USB device that worked in Panther/Classic will not connect/work in Tiger 10.4.3/Classic.
One is StylusRIP software from Epson that I use to print Postscript files (mainly from IllustratorCS) with my Epson Stylus 3000. When it's working, the RIP runs in Classic, but shows up as a printer choice in the Print Center. It worked fine in Panther/Classic, but since I upgraded to Tiger the printer is not recognized. The printer works in OSX using the non-Postscript driver, so I know that basic connectivity (cables, ports, etc.) is OK.
The other is a RoboLab USB infrared transmitter. Same scenario.
While troubleshooting the transmitter, I tried booting into OS9 (on my G4) and the connection was made. It worked fine. I tried the same thing with StylusRip, and it too worked fine, the printer was recognized.
My USB Epson scanner still works in OSX, but it has a native driver.
Can anyone tell me what could be different about the way Tiger handles USB that could affect the interoperability with devices/software that require Classic?
Any suggested troubleshooting? Is it possible to "reset" the USB ports? I've reset the PRAM, haven't tried resetting NVRAM.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am running 9.2.2. The only thing that changed was the update to Tiger. I have called ESPON, and they refer me to Adobe because they licensed the RIP from Adobe. I've not had any success with that yet. The last update of RIP does not support the Stylus 3000 printer, and I don't think it's native anyway. The set-up I was using was a "non-supported workaround", so I may just be out of luck. Which is a pain, because the printer still has some miles on it. I may try to see if I can use an older Mac running 9.2.2 as a print server.
Robolab has an OSX native update out, so we will get that.
What I found curious was that both pieces of software, or the USB connectivity required by both, was broken by Tiger.

No connection types available

What version of Windows is being used? WinXP Pro
What Service Pack is installed? SP2
What version of PC Suite is installed? 6.82.22.0
What is the connection method, cable, bluetooth or IR? cable
If you are getting an error message, it would be a good idea if you could let us know the exact error messa ge you are getting.
"There is no available connection type and therefore connection to the phone cannot be established."
"Failed to detect available connection types. Please reinstall Nokia Phone Suite"
and when i go to manage connections, I get:
"Connection to Nokia PC Suite failed. Please reinstall Nokia PC Suite (Code: InitIMediaControl2)
I've reinstalled several times but I still can't connect.

I sent an email about this to Nokia today. I will await a response. Here is the email in part as I am having the same issue and have tried EVERYTHING to resolve it to no avail. You'd think they would have resolved it by now after four months of the start of this thread:
****************** My Email to Tech *******************
My phone model is a Nokia 6265i. I'm running Windows Vista and using an authentic Nokia CA-53 cable. I have tried NUMEROUS times to connect my phone to my PC. I also tried connecting to my friend's computer (who is running XP with SP2). It wouldn't respond in XP either. I also tried purchasing a MiniSD card for the phone. It then at least acknowledged that there was some sort of connection to the PC, however the prompt I was getting was not that mentioned in the instructions (which I have read numerous times over, very carefully).
I got the prompt "Use phone as storage device?" with the options "OK" and "Exit." I have tried both responses while trying to connect to the PC Suite version 6.83.8.7 (downloaded on May 17, 2007) via the "Get Connected!" button and neither have worked. I have brought my phone to my service provider (Cricket Communications) to troubleshoot as well. None of my efforts have yielded any results. ANY results. I get absolutely no response from my PC whatsoever that anything has even been connected. Not even in the device manager or My Computer.
I have also tried two different cables. My last resort is to upgrade the phone firmware which is currently version:
V HL100V1000.nep
17-05-06
RM-66
(c)NMP
listed in exactly that way on the phone. But I do not believe this should be a problem. Or perhaps something is wrong with the phone itself, but I do not see how that could be either.
I have not made some stupid simple mistake such as plugging in the cable during installation either. I have been through this numerous times, with & without Nokia tech support via phone.
I am STRONGLY inclined to blame the software. I think that PC Suite 6.83.8.7 is not as Vista compatible (or XP for that matter) as stated on the download site.

PC Suite 6.83 and cable connectivity failure

hi,
i have just upgrade my pc suite software to 6.83 version. However i could not connect via cable.
im using nokia n91, cable dku-2. Im using windows xp sp 2.
what have i done so far:
tried to reinstall the cable dku2 software alone, but not successfull as it says it couldnt remove the previous one, i have uninstall the pc suite 6.83 as to download the cable driver itself, although i have turn off my antivirus, windows firewall, deleted the registries, im still unable to install the cable itself.
When i Checked from Control Panel --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager that exclamation marks are visible on the wirelss communication heading. i have reinstall the pc suite sofware 3 times now, and the problem still occuring. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
You wrote:

-> Uninstall all those wireless connection points (also from Modems and Ports) then reconnect then phone... does it help?
And does it install those back (and is there any errors)?

Nokia PC Suite finds no connection types

Hi,
first of all, the link to the PC Suite FAQ in the sticky thread at the top of the forum is broken.
I have a recurring problem with every version of PC Suite I installed during the previous 6 months on my Win XP Pro SP3 machine: When PC Suite is installed, everything works fine, but after some reboots, from one day to another, suddenly there are no more connection types available. Normally, you can select three connections types: cable, infrared, or bluetooth. All three are greyed out, and remain unselectable.
Reinstalling the Nokia cable driver doesn't help, repairing PC Suite doesn't either. I have to completely deinstall PCSuite, run PC Suite cleaner, reboot my PC, install everything from scratch, and then it works again for some days. During the last six months, I had to do this procedure 8 times.
Something seems to be terribly broken with PC Suite, at least on this very configuration. What can I do to prevent this? The version of PC Suite always is the latest one available when this error occurred, and I did a reinstallation.

As per one of my friends suggestion,
Just Go to "services.msc"
Search for a service called Servicelayer and Make it start automatically
Now Your PC Suite or Ovi Suite will detect the connections in your PC..

C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

IPhone storage via USB and WiFi

Hi,
I'm looking for an APP which allows to use iPhone as USB Key (storage), and to transfer files via USB and WiFi connections.
I've found some, but I would like one which offers both transfer mode: USB and WiFi.
Could you tell me the best APP that you know?
Thanks,
Chris

Why did Apple disable this offer?
Sometimes Apple plays very closed environment... too much commercial, not enough friendly
I've found another App which supports USB transfer, "Flash Drive" from "Readdle":

Do you know this App?
USB is faster than WiFi.. and with 32GB storage, USB technology should be the minimal level of data tranfer!
