thanks for the help

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

I have a similar problem ever since I upgraded PC-Suite to ver. 7.1.40.1 - prior to upgrade PC-Suite functioned normally (in it's partial manner).

I'm using Windows 7 PRO x64 with Data Cable CA-101.

I can no longer connect my phone to the PC in PC-Suite-MODE (it still connects in Mass-Storage-MODE).
When plugging the cable I get the following message (by the OS):
"Device driver software was not successfully installed".

Clicking the error baloon brings up a list of 5 drivers:
- Nokia N900 USB Phone Parent (Ready to use)
- Generic Phone (No Driver Found)
- PC Suite Services (No Driver Found)
- SYNCML-SYNC (No Driver Found)
- Nokia N900 USB Modem (Ready to use)

In Device Manager (Windows) the three "No Driver Found" devices are shown with an exclamation mark.

Attempt to locate and install driver software manually (pointing to PC-Suite's location on hard-drive) gives the following message:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
(Nokia N900 USB OBEX/Nokia N900 USB Generic)


I've attempted to uninstall all NOKIA software and ran the PC Suite CLEANER. However, sub-sequent re-install (including older versions) didn't help.
All installations were also attempted in XP-SP2 compatibility mode and Run as Administrator was checked.

Interesting to note that the phone still connects to my Laptop after a similar upgrade. The Laptop is running XP-SP2!
So it certainly looks possible that this is a Windows7 drivers issue but in my case only with the new PC-Suite.

Have anyone found a solution to this PC-Suite issue?

how to sync CONVERSATIONS using pc suite? has anybody done it

problem i have is, only contacts are loaded from n900, messages plus calendar don't show anything

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

just stick to the previous version. Seems like Nokia still haven't fixed this issue with new version. I had similar problem as well as other folk did then, and i see it is still happening jeezz!
Ur not missing out on anything neway, its not like the new version looks fancier or anything. Its jst the same looking app but updated but ashame it doesnt work with the n900 still.

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

Mine has installed , Windows 7 Ultimate, but I cannot browse or backup the N900, says its connected. Downgraded to 7.1.30.9 - same issue.

Any ideas?

Hi all,,

Can any tel me how to export all my conversations onto my PC? I've tried doing it from Nokia PC suite 7.1 but no luck. I've also tried taking back up of my Nokia N900 still no luck.

Please assist and help me on this.

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

You can first create a backup on the N900. Then connect the N900 to your PC via mass storage mode. You should see a backup folder on the N900 which you can then transfer onto your pc (make sure that you can view hidden folders). Hope this helps.

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

Thnx alot Ktchiu... I have already done that, but still no luck :( If possible may I request you to give the full path where I can get the conversations in back up files. But as a workaround, i m using "glogarchive" which exports to CSV file but that gimme wat I am looking for. I need to get where I can export sms normally in other symbian OS version mobile.

Also, can someone assist me how to transfer music files (say mp3 files , ringtones, etc) through bluetooth??

Thanks once again and in advance.

Check the thread Import SMS to N900 for a practical way to do it. It may need some effort, but it's only method I know that works.

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

You can try the N900 smsexporter from this thread.

Get the later versions if possible (not the plain v0.2).

Be careful when importing. Exporting should not be harmful. But you need to know how to use X Terminal to avoid breaking your device, or get someone who does (ie a Linux geek). :-)

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

Take also a backup before. In the case you screw up the database file or you don't like what you get, then you can delete all SMSs and restore from the backup.

It works nicely. I've done it already 2-3 times with no upsets.

hope it helps.

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

Just got round to trying to use the new deluxe house brick some people call the N900, to sync my calendar from work. not emails, not notes, not tasks, JUST calendar to start with. Thought I would start basic.

I have to install software to do this, which is not what the blurb about the phone suggested (can't say phone, it isn't a phone, expansys and vodaphone are wrong to call it one.) So already I am in trouble because I hot desk, IT might let me do it on my pc, but the other 11 PC's I use having Nokia PC suite installed on it, isn't going to help my cred with IT.

I can't use mail for exchange because I have to rely on wireless communication, instead of the cable to get the information. My IT won't open ports or communications for that which I will come to.

I am using winxp pro, with version 7.1.4 of Pc suite and I can't sync anything. Nothing will work as it comes up with.

"Your Outlook message store might have been moved. Please re-select your Outlook profile and required folders. " Which of course is rubbish, because the screen previously let me select it. And the system doesn't move stuff randomly.

Everything about this phone is rubbish and the only redemming quality, the sync with MS outlook and exchange, one key reason to buying this phone and that doesn't work.

Bear in mind I can't install software on every machine I visit as I work for the NHS and they don't like random cruddy software being installed, I can't get wireless or bluetooth access because of the sensitive nature of the industry. Our IT don't support the N900, far too many reasons they won't touch it with a barge pole. Namely 'support' and the fact it is crap. (Their words) I can't reg hack an NHS PC, I can't spend hours at a new desk going through a start, stop and restart procedure to get something this basic to work.

PC Suite says it is unsupported. Why Nokia still say the N900 is unsupported, 5 months after launch with their own software is beyond me. If I can't get it to work then it is back to the old HTC tytn 2 and winmo, My work requires me to sync my calendar regularly from differing machines and I am hacked off already with everything else on it, I don't want to have install nokia pc suite, just like I didn't want to install active sync. But I guess I will have to if I can at least get the syunc to work.

I have lost five hours of work time today on this problem alone so any help much appreciated.
