Trying to sync maps on a N8 with OVI

I went to the maps 'sync' tool, and tried to do a sync but it failed.  After reading the manual, I see I need to be logged in first:
Synchronise your favourite locations with Ovi Maps
The Ovi website contains the internet services that Nokia
provides. The Ovi Maps section contains services related to
Maps. You can synchronise your saved locations,
collections, and routes with Ovi Maps, if you have a Nokia
account in Ovi. To create the account, visit www.ovi.com.
Select Maps.
Synchronise saved items with Ovi Maps
Select Options > Favourites > Synchronise with Ovi.
So, I open my browser and try to log onto the maps service - but no matter what I put in the URL in the browser, I get taken to http://m.maps.nokia.com/redirect.html
What I see is:
Looking for Nokia Maps?
The native Maps application on your phone has our full range of search and chek-in services, etc., etc.
It wants me to download OVI Maps.
But I already have OVI Maps.....
How do I get logged into the server, such that the sync will work?  Is there some step that I'm just not aware of?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Mike_Myers_N8
Puzzled here in that you only need to sign-in at http://maps.nokia.com if you want to view favourites or create a route on your PC.
Admittedly have Ovi Maps v3.08 on N8 here, click on "gear wheels" > Extra > Settings > General > Nokia account > Nokia Account > Sign in and if not already amend so it is showing "Sign out"
In Ovi Maps upon device then go to Search > Favourites > Sync and if you currently use Ovi Maps in "Offline" mode it asks to go online to synchronise favourites.

    I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2.  I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync.  What am I doing wrong or what should I look for?  Thank You

    To sync your iPad over Wifi:
    First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
    Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
    You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
    To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
    If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

    trying to sync new iPhone 6 plus with Itunes on PC

    Good.  I hope it's going well!
    If not, you should know you need a recent copy of iTunes on your computer.
    You should also check out the iPhone Manual:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.1
    Otherwise, if you are looking for help, it would be good if you told us exactly what your issues are.  What do you see?  What happens (or does not happen)?

  • I am trying to sync data on my iPad with my iPhone 5.   I thought it was something that it did automatically.  I do not have a PC to plug both into.  How can the info and apps be on both devices.

    Hello,  I am trying to sync the data from my iPad 3 with my iPhone 5.  My iPhone doesn't had the apps my iPad has.  The calendar
    events are not the same.

    You could use icloud to sync contacts and calendars.
    Both the ipad and iphone are intended to sync to a computer.
    You can redownload apps from the app store, assuming that they are iphone compatible.

  • New to MAC - trying to sync iphone and Mac Pro with imac

    Hi,
    Just made the switch to Mac. Purchased my Mac Pro yesterday, loaded .Mac, and plugged in my iPhone to the computer. Followed the steps to Sync iCal and contacts from iPhone and although it is registering there is a phone and downloading photos, it is not syncing anything else.
    The steps I took were System Preferences, .mac, and checked the relevant boxes. It indicates syncing is taking place but the calendar on iPhone and Mac Pro are not syncing.
    Could anyone help with advice? SHould I be able to sync easily between the iPhone and the Mac Pro with .mac?

    You use iTunes to sync an iPhone - not *.Mac Sync* or iSync.
    *.Mac Sync* is for syncing between Macs, and iSync is for syncing third-party mobile phones and PDAs.

    Hello Debby,
    Congratulations on your new iPad!  You may need to restore your iPad if the sync option is grayed out.  You can find steps to restore your iPad here:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

  • Problem trying to sync IPAD2 and IPhone 4 with windows XP Laptop

    When I plug the Ipad into the USB on the laptop,  Itunes starts and a sync process tries to start.  It proceeds to step 2 of 7 and seems to stop its progress there. 
    I check the Windows task manager and I see that ITUNES.exe and AppleMobileDeviceService.exe are each using 50% of the processor resources. This continues and the SYNC never goes to step 3 of 7. 
    I read on line that others had a problem after the upgrade to the new Safari software.  I uninstalled Safari and the problem continues.
    The same thing happens when I try to SYNC my IPhone 4.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
    I am happy with the performance of the IPAD and the IPhone 4 as individual products but not with the interface options with my PC environment products.
    These are new purchases and they are me first experience with Apple products.  So far, I am not impressed.

    Hi there, we also have this problem, have had it for months now! have tried various 'fixes'advised by apple. the last error messege that came up was could not connect to itunes because of unknown error - (oxE8000065) help anybody!!! im jsut waiting for iphone 4 to arrive, i am wondering how thats going to go on, i have doupts! thanks for help D

  • I am trying to sync my iphone 4 calendar with my macbook?

    I am trying to connect my iphone via bluetooth to my macbook so that I can sync the calendars.  How can I do this?  I would also like to copy the contacts to the computer too.

    You can't use bluetooth to transfer files between your Macbook and tour iPhone.  Use iTunes and sync the data to/from your phone.  Caution:  Be sure that your Macbook's calendar and address book have at least one entry (even a dummy entry) in order to generate a merge prompt. If you try to sync a bland\k address book or calendar, the blank file will replace the files in your iPhone.
    Read this:  Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    And look at chapter 4 in the iPhone iOS4 User Guide

  • I have a IPAD 3rd generation and am trying to sync my calendar and contacts with my window live contacts and calendar. It does the contacts but issues message that no supported calendar application found. Windows is 64 bit Itunes is 10.6

    Any ideas on how to get the IPAD and IYUNES to sync the calendar?

    Did you read this article?

    "Additional Information

    Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011

  • Trying to Sync Z10 via Companion Link with ACT 2013

    Hi All,
    Looking for some help with the following issue: When I try and sync my Z10 via Companion Link with Act 2013 I get an error message in blackberry link then the sync fails:
    C Preferences Manager: Configuration Value for / Preferences / Account_1_65537/ DevicePin not set in Transconfig.xml for translater RimBB
    used to work sometimes until i updated the software. would be gratefull for any ideas
    Dave

    I have no experience with the third-party application you are referring to but I have the feeling that it is designed to sync with devices using Legacy Conduits.
    Legacy Conduits used on OS4 and before (and a very few of the early OS5 devices): Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad.
    Extended Conduits used on modern devices: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos.
