PC Suite Sync vs Browse Messages

Hi folks,
Does anyone know the difference between updating contacts via the Message browser and updating contacts using the Sync app in PC Suite?
Cheers
Yup, life sure moves pretty fast...

I am not sure if I understood your question the right way, but my comment is:
synchronisation is always a session that is done between 2 data stores.
PC Sync makes a session that synchronises the phone's phonebook and Outlook's Contacts base.
The Nokia Phone Browser synchronises the phone's phonebook and Windows Explorer special view for contacts(which is created when you install PC Suite)
So they are 2 separate sessions, but both synchronise contacts.
Of course the PC Sync is capable to synchronise also calendar, notes, (even email, but depends on the phone model).
And Nokia Phone Browser is capable to synchronise text messages to the Windows Explorer special view.

  • Where can I find OVI suite synced messages after P...

    Hi All,
    I have done a message synch some time back in Nokia OVI suite and removed all messages from my Nokia N73.
    After that I did format my PC and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7.
    How can I get those messages back. Before formatting I have taken backup of windows folders like My Documents where apps save there data generally.
    Please help. TIA.

    ...but since you Formatted the PC all this Synced data is gone...
    ..because they are saved in c/Users/ <your user name>/application data/local/Nokia..and in sub-folders there-in ..

  • Nokia Suite 3.3.89 message sync

    Help, since accepting upgrade to Nokia Suite 3.3.86 3 weeks ago my Nokia 5230 has refused to sync messages or send/receive with my laptop. [The main PC is still running the previous version and syncs OK] All the other syncs work fine it's just messages. I have tried repairing and reinstalling but no improvement, any help please, Rob

    Did you try the 'Repair Sync' option in the Nokia Suite (Sync-->Repair Sync) ..
    Else, you may try the latest Beta (v3.4.16) from here ... For downloading, you need to log-in using the same credentials that you use on this Forum ...

  • Ovi Suite Syncing Messages and Contacts

    I have Ovi Suite installed on my desktop and laptop and both computers are not syncing contacts and messages, just keeps saying syncing messages do not disconnect, I've turned off the phone and back on again and sometimes that fixes the problem, turned off and on bluetooth and sometimes would fix the problem also but now whatever I do does not work. Also tried connecting via USB cable. I have also tried repairing, deleting the device on the phone and even gone back to Nokia PC Suite 7 and still nothing, can someone help me out here please?
    Thanks

    Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
    I have successfully got ovi suite working.
    For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
    1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
    then i ran pc suite cleaner.
    2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
    3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
    now there should be nothing on the pc.
    Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
    Reboot pc
    Then download ovi suite.
    A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
    The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
    the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
    This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
     It also works fine on my xp computer too.

  • Ovi Suite sync issues

    My N95 and PC Suite sync'ed perfectly, then came Ovi. What a pain, however I got used to it.
    In the last week I have installed the latest bug fix for Ovi Suite. Now my phone will not sync. Ovi suite sees the phone, and I can message etc from my PC keyboard, but Ovi suite just sits inert when asked to sync. It shows in the various boxes "waiting to sync" but just does nothing and frquently hangs.
    Any solution?

    Hi All,
    Please read my post in following link for a workaround to this sync issue.

  • N80 - Suite Sync is broken

    I updated the firmware on my N80 to the latest, all well and good. But now PC Suite Sync is broken. Neither the settings button or Sync button does anything. If I go into the sync menu on my N80, there is a PC Suite entry there but it's set to Bluetooth, which I don't use (cable), and I can't change it. I tried reinstalling pc suite software to the phone, but still nothing.
    Not a problem at the moment, because I backed up my contacts etc before doing the firmware update. But I usually sync my phone & outlook once a week.
    I've uninstalled PC Suite, Cable Driver, PC Connetivity solution, cleaned registry entries, installed again, still nothing. Everything else works, content copier, Install Apps, just not sync. Any ideas?
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32, Outlook 2007, latest PC Suite, Nokia N80 (latest firmware)
    Currently using E71, looking at options

    I also have more or less the same problem. Running Vista 32 Business, Outlook 2007, PC Suite 6.84.10.3 on a Dell D430 and a Nokia N80.
    When I installed, and in between at odd moments PC Suite says that its connected (goes for both Bluetooth and Cable), but most of the time it says no phone is connected.
    Finds and connects with the phone just fine in connection manager.
    Although PC Suite claims no phone is connected Storing pictures and Phone browser works fine.
    Sync refuses to do anything, since it claims no phone is connected. I can press Select phone, but it doesn't give me anything.
    On the rare occation the phone shows as connected, Sync runs just fine, only it really doesn't update anything but notes...
    Anyone recoginize this?

Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do? Using iTunes 12 is not an option. Many features I used for audiobooks have disappeared.

    The version immediately prior to 12 was 11.4.0.18. Here are direct download links from Apple's servers:

  • 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.

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

    Ah, it has been mentioned daily esp since iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5 but has always been there as an issue.
    Order of attempts:
    Repair the installers
    Uninstall EVERY Apple component (auto and manual)
    Services: Restart all 3 Apple items (AMS, Bonjour, iPod)
    I* always do the last almost, then launch iTunes, and only then connect iPod.
    IF you see a yellow alert in Devices and Printers or in Device Manager, then I could find NO WAY to fix or repair other than a clean OS. Something messed up the device driver support.
    If/when Windows asks "what to do when it detects iPod"? don't chose any default action, to me, based on hunch and 3 PCs, that seems to mess AMS up for some reason.
    Tried with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and Home Premium, and also Deve Preview 8 (which other than the inability to update iOS to 5.0 seems to run better -- except when it comes to AMS thing! so seems Apple is not on the same page writitng drivers.
