Why isn't ovi suite syncing the msgs on my memory ...

I have an E5 and everytime i try to sync my phone with my laptop the messages on my memory card dont show. I dont have a problem with the music, pictures and videos that are on my memory card, they sync just fine but none of the messages show.  I have many important messages that i need to keep. Can anyone help me please?

Ovi suite only tends to sync properly with contacts in phone memory C, try transferring messages to C and see if it ayncs ok ? Messaging>Options>Settings>Other>Memory in use, change to C Phone memory, and you should be offered the option to move messages. Hope that helps.

  • Why can't OVI Suite sync files?

    I have an N97 and use if quite a bit with office files. With PC Suite it automatically synced files in the Briefcase to a directory on the PC. This very useful feature seems to have been removed with OVI suite and I now have to manually copy files backward and forward.
    Anyone suggest any alternatives? I'm currently considering going back to PC Suite as it contained more Sync capabilities and basically worked better. It also didn't keep popping up the main application screen on the PC each time I plugged my phone in.

    Ovi suite is still very new compared to PC suite.
    I use both Ovi and PC suite which allows me to use the best bits of both. They will happily run alongside each other.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • X6 and ovi suite sync problem - usb connection

    i recently bought an x6 and set up ovi suite etc which all worked fine! yesterday i updated maps and the x6 operating system using ovi which again seemed to work fine. Now however when i connect phone to my pc the pc comes up problem with hardware installation and ovi suite only occassionally recognises phone - even when it does it will not sync music! help please - wish i hadn't updated anything as it all worked fine before !!!!

    I have a similarly frustrating sync problem with my X6. It's my second phone too.
    I've had Ovi Suite installed on my computer for about 9 months. I had difficulty getting it to sync with my X6 phone at first but after some troubleshooting I got it working reasonably well.
    However over the last few months it doesn't initiate the syncing process after I connect my device. I can open Ovi Suite and click the sync buttons but it doesn't do anything.It doesn't freeze or crash either which is strange considering it is not processing the request.
    I've tried everything including reinstalling the software and resetting my phone. This worked once and since went back to it's old tricks.
    The only thing that works is removing the X6 device in OVI suite, rebooting the PC and adding the device again. This is real pain in the backside as you can imagine doing this each time I want to sync it.
    In contrast the previous version - PC Suite - worked well with my old Nokia phone.
    Nokia support have provided some guidance after pushing for a reply but you dont get expert or timely help from them.
    Come on, we cant be just a few people having these issues? I reckon lots of x6 owners aren't getting full value from these devices.
    It's at the stage where I'd not recommend a Nokia x6 or other Nokia phone to anyone wanting the PC connectivity which is one of the major benefits of a phone these days.
    Go on Nokia give us some love!
    One frustrated owner counting down the days to my upgrade option.

  • 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?

    Why isn't Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 available for sale, but Part 1 is? This makes no sense.

    Jennie,
    Items often go on and off sale in the Store, especially items (like Harry Potter movies) whose distribution is being closely managed by the label, in this case Warner Brothers.
    It will probably come back on sale, but we don't know when.  If you don't want to wait, you can buy it on DVD.

  • I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

    I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

    You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
    BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

  • OVI Suite / Sync / N8-00

    I've got a problem, I'm trying to sync my N8-00 with my laptop and whenever I press Sync - it shows me a msg saying reconnect the device or use blue tooth, settings on my phone are set correctly and I never had any problems with my USB devices, so please is there something special that needs to be done in order to sync N8-00 with OVI Suite ?  Or am I just very thick ... 
    Ex-user of E71
    Proud user of N8-00

    I've got a problem with my N8 when I want to download an App. Everywhere I read in the manuals it says that you need to go via the ovi picture on the phone's 'desktop' and go to the shop.
    However everytime I want to do this my phone/ nokia Ovi says that it can't connect with the service, I tried different stuff but nothing seems to help. I'd really like to install WhatsApp on my nokia N8.. Does anybody have advice for me?

  • Why I removed Ovi Suite

    Hi Nokia, 
    I just wanted to let you know that I removed Ovi suite and swiched back to PC suite.
    Here is why:
    Calendar sync worked for 1 month then (somewhere in February 2010) due to an update in Ovi Suite it stopped working. (shall I say downgade or bad testing?)
    Unable to start Ovi suite minimized (= popup at each startup !)
    Ovi suite popup each time I come back at my computer (at each (re-)connection)
    Graphically nice but functionally weak
    For my usage, no added value compared to PC Suite.
    What I don't understand is that PC Suite asked me to "update" to Ovi suite but in reality based on my experience this is rather a downgrade since several working features of PC Suite are not working anymore...
    My current phone is a Nokia E65 ; it's getting old and I'm looking to replace it. I hope Nokia will do a better job for the coming versions of OVI suite or I might look elsewhere for my next phone.
    In my opinion, calendar sync is definately crucial for a Business oriented phone (E series remember?);  not being harrased by popups each time to go out of range is definately a turnoff too.
    kind regards,
    LL

    Just follow these steps:-
    1. Restart your phone & after restart don't run the maps application.
    2.Go to phone memory card & there you will see cities folder simply delete that folder because this is the folder which is for Nokia ovi maps & which is creating problem in your case.
    3. Now try to reinstall Nokia ovi maps 2.0 or nokia ovi maps 3.0 & download the your country data using nokia ovi suite.
