Transfer OVI Suite database to new PC

HI,
I need to transfer my OVI suite database (SMS and contacts) to a new Laptop.
I have over 4700 sms's backup'd up on my OVI suite (current PC) ... On my E72 i only keep the current months SMS's.
Now i am getting a new Laptop and cannot loose the 4700 sms's.
How do i move the OVI database with sms's to the new Laptop.
Thank you

just do one thing make a backup of the folders inside the
"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store"
And put them again in the same location on your laptop after installing NOS.
Username is the login name of the computer
This will definitely solve your issue.

Transfer Ovi Suite to new computer

I have a new laptop coming and just wondered what is the best way to transfer Ovi Suite to it? I can download a fresh copy but this would lose the history.
Is there any way that this can be done please?
Forgot to say that my telephone is Nokia N8/Symbian.

How about installing a fresh copy onto your laptop then on your old machine go to > C:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local and copy the folders Nokia & NokiaAccount and paste them to the same location on your laptop?

Need to transfer eLearning Suite 6 to new computer

I have eLearning Suite 6 installed on my work PC. I recently upgraded to CC and want to transfer eLearning Suite 6 to my coworker's computer. I don't have the serial number for my eLearning Suite 6 on record so I used Belarc Advisor to track it down, however it says that serial number is only valid for eLearning Suite 2 (even though I've had eLearning Suite 6 on my computer for several years).
Any way of transferring this product to a new machine without downgrading? I tried calling Adobe and they said this product isn't supported over the phone anymore.

Nokia Ovi suite cant recognize new software for my...

Hi.
I install Nokia Ovi Suite. It works excrelent. But software update dont see updates. On nokia site wrote that latest version is 08.63, but on my phone is 7.20, and ovi suite tell that is no mew version of softvare for my phone. How to update software.
Nemawa

Availability of update depends on Region / Product Code.. Also if the phone is Network locked, then the update will be possible only after an approval from the Operator...Hence the update may not be available for your phone yet...
...You may also try thru' Nokia Software Updater...sometimes if one (OVI Suite) doesn't show... the other (NSU) shows.. and vice versa...
..Download the NSU from..

Nokia Ovi Suite - Computer Transfer

I've just changed the hard drive on my laptop and I've just installed Ovi Suite on my new hard drive. However all of my contacts, and messages have gone. Is this a feature of transferring Ovi Suite between computers or is all the information there somewhere on my laptop, and I just don't know where to find it!?
Cheers

Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

Hi,
I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

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 folder naming format on photo sync?

When I want to sync my photos on my n900 onto my PC, it now dumps everything taken within the same month into the same folder.
How do I change the folder naming convention/format, for example if I want everything taken today to be in its own folder as opposed to being mixed in with photos taken last week?
This is a problem now because I use my N900 for photo taking a lot and the folder naming format does not match what I have always used in the past and continue to use with my regular digital camera.
This was always an option in PC Suite, but doesn't appear to be an option in Ovi Suite, unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

The problem is that it's creating totally new folder directories and the naming format of the folder is not the way I have all my other photos organized.
My other photos are arranged in folders by the day they were taken. Ovi Suite creates one new folder for each month and then drops everything from that month into that folder.
For example:
My Pictures/2010_07_19 -- this is the format I have all of my other photos from other cameras created when I transfer photos from them to my computer.
My Pictures/N900/2010-07 -- this is the format that Nokia Ovi Suite is creating for me and there's no way that I see that I'm able to change the naming convention to match what the rest of all my photos are. Everything taken this month would drop into that same folder, which is too difficult to keep organized.
Am I just missing something as to how I can change the naming convention of the folder when syncing via Ovi Suite?

Failed to update Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23 to 3.0.0.284

Hi
I have Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23 installed on my workstation. Today I noticed that there is update available and tried to install it using current Ovi suite version. New package was donwloaded succesfully but when Ovi suite started to install the new version I got this error message:
"Unknown signature - Installation could not be started. The installation package has an unknown signature which has not been verified by Nokia. Try again later.".
Attachments:

I just noticed that there is a documented "Known issue" for a very similar problem (unfortunately, it is hard to find unless you already know what the solution is, and search for the right keyword). The description sounds unrelated, but the root cause is very similar:
https://betalabs.nokia.com/node/5251
Quoting: "With Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0 there is currently a known problem with expired certificates that can potentially prevent OVI account sign-in.
As a workaround you can remove the problematic certificates manually: Go to Internet Explorer-Tools-Internet Options-Content-Certificates-Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Delete all GTE CyberTrust certificates whose expiration date has passed. You should be left with one GTE certificate that is valid."
The issue with failing to install the update is very similar, but most likely related to an expired Verisign certificate. So it should go away if you also delete outdated Verisign certificates from your root cert store.
Alternatively, you can also locate the downloaded "webupdate" EXE in the \temp folder and launch it manually.
Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

About Ovi Suite.

I'm a bit confused with the need for Ovi Suite. I already have Nokia PC Suite, so why do I need another one? What are the benefits?

Hei,
A good question. If we keep it simple, the Ovi Suite is a newer program and
designed for the newer phones. And you have to have Ovi Suite to update
these newer phones. Both programs have their own supporters.

Transfer Nokia Ovi Suite 2 Data to Another Compute...

Hi Everyone,
I've been using the Ovi Suite for a while now specifically for synching all my text messages. I have a new laptop and I would like to transfer the SMS data synched in my old pc right now through the Ovi Suite. How do I go about this? Most of them are already deleted in my phone so I think I need to extract or migrate the database files from my old pc to the new one.
I'm using an N79. Here's the other details:
Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.0.10
Nokia Photos 1.3.15.0
PC Connectivity Solution 9.38.0.0
Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.20.0
Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2009.40.0.60128
Maps Service API 3.0.35.0
Nokia mPlatform 2.5.168
Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.0.0.684
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 2
Language: English
Many thanks.

Hi,
You currently have very old Ovi Suite version. My recommendation is that you update the version to the most recent one (www.ovi.com) which is Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290.
I don't recommend you transfer these old components to new PC and then use them with new Ovi Suite version. They may even end up not working at all...
You have two quick solutions to use (with new version):
1) You can just drag and drop all the messages to your device and then when connecting with the new PC drag and drop them back (if it is a clean PC then you can use also message sync functionality for transfering)
2) In the new version of the Ovi Suite you have export/import messages functionality available which you can use to export the messages to e.g. .csv file. You can then transfer that to new PC and import the messages from there.

N97 Mini with Ovi Suite 2 unable to transfer anyth...

Hi. My wife has just got the new N97 Mini. It has the latest firmware and the Ovi suite is the latest version. The problem is I installed Ovi Suite and it asked me to connect mt device, so I plugged in the supplied USB cable, My windows vista said new device and started updating drivers, it then said there was a problem and then the sevice layer in windows said there a a incompatibility with the device driver, in windows device manager there were 2 entries for the n97 mini, one of them had a yellow excalamation mark next to it. Ovi suite said it had detected the phone but I can not move anything onto the phone, I then uninstalled Ovi suite and tried to connect via bluetooth, the connection seems to be fine as windows device manager only has 1 entry, and Ovi suite detected the phone, how ever I stiil cannot move any files onto the phone, the only way to move files to the phone is to select mass storage and then I can drag and drop using windows. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi pearsonquinn,
Could you check following:
- System information (Help - About Nokia Ovi Suite - System information - Copy text to clipboard)
- N97 mini SW version
- PC model
- Can you see the phone icon in Nokia Ovi Suite main page?
- Are messages and photos visible in Ovi Suite?
- Can you transfer files to portable device visible in My computer?
- Could you attach screenshots of following situations you are describing:
" ...the sevice layer in windows said there a a incompatibility with the device driver..."
and
" ...windows device manager there were 2 entries for the n97 mini, one of them had a yellow excalamation mark next to it. Ovi suite said it had detected the phone but I can not move anything onto the phone, .."

Ovi suite does not find a new MP4 on my PC!

Hi there,
Unfortunately, after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 version of Ovi Suite I found that my newly added video files, mostly an MP4, can't be shown by the software. Also, much before this, I have to admit, some MP3 files are not been displayed in my gallery in the Ovi suite and I used to blame on the files, or even my PC. It did happen earlier 3.0 and still is on. I do not know what to think now, maybe some of you can explain what is going wrong!
Please, share your ideas. I would be glad to read some!
Thx in advance.

this is the answer to your issue....
the problem is not the Nokia PC Suite.... it is HP that is to blame for adding such slopy hardware that is built not to be usable by other external software.. i have a HP Probook 4530s and it uses the same but newer version, bluetooth hardware Realtek Motorola BC8 Bluetooth 3.0+HS Adapter that has to use motorola software...this motorola software is able to connect to my phone via bluetooth and acts like a built-in nokia pc suite / Windows bluetooth driver... not allowing the actual nokia pc suite access to the bluetooth hardware... in short nokia pc suite is Incompatibile with Ralink / Realtek Motorola BC4 / BC8 Bluetooth 3.0+HS Adapter... so if you have this problem ask HP to come up with new software that works on the motorola hardware that is compatible with nokia PC suite... this is the problem with products that have parts built by other companies.. (Incompatibility)
thats why i like Apple and nokia they dont out source other brands to make parts... but recently nokia ran to microsoft for the lumia windows cause there symbian software was loseing against ios and android..
