Nokia :: Comes With Music Expired And Now Can't Transfer To Phone
Feb 7, 2010
The problems with Comes with Music continue.My first year has expired, and though I have bought a second Comes With Music device I have not yet worked out how I am going to plug that in (see separate post about problems of only one phone per CWM account even if you buy a new phone and renew).
Put my old SIM in new CWM but without yet activating the PIN (two months from sales date to do so) and old phone gets upset and music stops working. Bizarre, so think redownload music to phone again, pain but if necessary will do so.
However, when I try to download the music from PC to phone using Nokia Ovi Player, won't let me, it tells me I have not got the license, I can only download music from the Music Vault.
So I download a track from the music vault, and then try to download it to phone.Still will not let me.Can play track quite happily on the computer, but not on the phone.
As an aside people talk about DRM and how if you are a legal music downloader (like me) then it should not bother you. The problem is I am trying to use music that I have legally downloaded to use on my phone according to my agreement with Nokia, and the DRM is stopping me using it, even though it should not. The reason people are against DRM it is all too good at stopping you doing what you should be doing.
I'm using my Nokia 5310, it has been updated to the latest firmware, I'm on the latest Nokia Music Player, and it expired less than a month ago.

My first 5130 (express music) came with a valid voucher. The 2nd came with an expired voucher- No information of this nature was communicated before the deal was done- as required by the Consumer protection act. Cell C refuses to provide a valid voucher.

I purchased a nokia N8 with a ovi music unlimited package.Initially everything was fine but some days latter suddenly whenever I download songs through Ovi player and transfer them to Nokia N8, the phone dosent play them and says 'Licence expired or missing. Get new license?' and then each song takes a minute or so to get a new licence key.

After upgrading to belle all my contacts are gone. Nokia suite also reports that I have no contacts . However in my sms inbox all the messages are still associated with the contacts that send them. Thus a contact database must still exist on the phone somewhere.I am also having trouble with the music I downloaded from ovi prior to the update. When trying to play the song a error message appears claiming that the license for the track has expired or gone missing and asks me if I want to get a new license. after saying yes I would, a webpage comes up saying I can only request new licenses for songs I downloaded myself( which is all my songs). I guess this another win for piracy as ovi is making it to difficult not to

I am trying to transfer music to my N900 device but Ovi Music tells me it is connected in the wrong mode. It says" unplug your device and reconnect it, a menu will appear, and depending on the model, use one of the following: Media Player, Printing and Media and Media Transfer. The problem is that no menu appears on the screen of the N900. What should I do?

I have a Nokia 5800 express music. I had some trouble with it, when I turned it on, it just startet vibrating without starting, so I got that fixed. Now it won't update or transfer music. Since I got it back from the Nokia store, it have not been working with update on my computer. While it was repaired I also installed Windows 7.

OK, so we all know Ovi player is, uummm, a bit flaky?I've given up trying to use it and am now using Windows Media Player to transfer music to my X6. This works absolutely fine other than getting the album art onto the phone.

I recently got a Kingston 16GB Class 4 microSD (from a reputable source - not ebay - and yes it is a genuine 16GB microSD) for my N8 and want to transfer my music to it, to free up space for photos and video on the phone itself. What I thought should be a simple process, thanks to Nokia, has turned out to be a non-trivial exercise.I naively copied my MUSIC folder to the microSD (F), and then deleted the MUSIC folder on the E drive, and refreshed the library. It went through the process of seemingly refreshing for ages, number of tracks clocking up, but then told me the music library was corrupt and showed nothing.After playing for a while, I decided to reverse the process, put my music back on E and deleted the MUSIC folder from the F drive. Refreshed library and I was back to square one (thankfully), and everything worked as before, but, of course, I still hadn't got my music across to the microSD.
Then I searched these forums and found loads of people had had the same problem.It seems that, (as is often the case) the refresh of the library has bugs, and keeps old files somewhere on the device that should be deleted by the refresh process for it to work properly, but hang around causing problems (thanks Nokia - your software guys strike again)Despite trying to find these 'private' folders, they do not appear to be anywhere on any drive on my N8 (and, yes, I did have show hidden files set)
So, simple question is, how can I successfully transfer my music to the microSD so that it just works? Do i have to delete all 1400 tracks and reload them onto the F drive, and if I do this, will it sort the library problem. Ideally I would appreciate a tried and tested method from someone who has actually DONE it, as I don't want to screw my N8.

I originally bought some music tracks via Nokia Music on my 5530. I did this on the phone and not via my P.C etc. I now have bought a Lumia 710 and signed in to Nokia music on it. I assumed it would recognise any music I had bought and ask me if I want to transfer it? But of course, it doesn't seem to. I have a backup of my 5530 in the Ovi suite, but the Lumia uses Zune. I am confused now as to the easiest way to get the music off my 5530 and on to the Lumia.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy 6. The sales person said he transferred all files from my Galaxy 3 to my new Galaxy 6 but my music files are missing. Also, he told me I could "find" my apps from the Galaxy 3 in Google Play under "my apps" but I have found no such thing. I suppose I could connect both phones to my computer and transfer the music that way and download all the former apps again. Is there a better, easier way?

I can successfully download and play songs on my PC and on my mobile. However, if I try to transfer my songs from the PC to my mobile if comes up with the following error message: "This music can't be transferred because one or both of the devices involved is not an Ovi Music Unlimited device. You can only transfer music between your registered PC and mobile."
Obviously both are Ovi Music Unlimited devices and all was working fine before the Ovi player upgrade.

On my E52 I have phone lock which activates automatically in 10 minutes. The problem is that the phone lock code expires for every 24 hours.It is really annoying to enter old phone lock code, new phone lock code and finally confirm the new lock code every 24 hours. I think it maybe has something to do with the security issues in Microsoft exhange.

I tried transferring a few different folders with music in them to my N700 but no matter how I do it , they don't end up in the "MUSIC PLAYER" folder . In the end , I use the "old Nokia suite" to drag & drop & it did end up in the right folder but not with its own folder , they end up as 1 folder with all the music in it.

I've been using my 5800 XPress comes with music device happily with no problems for about 6 months, now all of a sudden whenever I try to transfer my Comes With Music downloads to my device for no apparent reason they ALL fail to transfer just saying that the transfer has failed but no explanation as to why. There's about 4GB of memory available so it's not a lack of space. I've tried re-installing OVI player to no avail, I can't understand what has happened to stop it transferring, I've changed nothing at all.Any ideas how I might be able to get the music to start transferring again?

I CANT WORK IT OUT!!! I am really rubbish with phones, but I can seem to do is log in to the OVI store, I can't see any way of being able to transfer directly from a laptop. I tried the USB to Phone stick but it asked me to load a CD (all I have is an OVI CD), and then nothing happened.

know any app that can wirelessly transfer music from pc to lumia 920. I know zune is out of the question because there is no zune for lumia 920 (I think they should bring that back in and update).I tried a lot of advice from many posts already, and non of them work. My computer just won't read my Lumia 920 just by using the usb calbe. It kept saying "MTB USB Driver Failed", and I will just have to accept that instead of losing myself for it.
