I'm stuck, I keep getting the following error trying to sync the Lumia 800 to my laptop using Zune. Both the lumia and the laptop have the latest versions of software etc, zune has only just been installed, and says there are no updates available, and the phone installed 2 updates when first connected, and now also says up to date.
I have previously connected the phone to a win 7 PC (but that has dieD so is in pieces currently), but I am now looking to use this Vista laptop to backup the pictures etc from the phone.I'm even using a genuine Nokia usb cable to connect it Ive rebooted both the phone and computer and the error stays the same.
I tried to connect my Lumia to Windows, but my Vista does not seem to have a driver for Lumia.I downloaded Zune, but also when I connect Zune to my phone, I get the message 'driver not found'.Can I get the driver from somewhere? Or is there another way to copy an mp3 onto the phone?
I'm having trouble getting my Samsung i900 to sync with Windows Vista. I actually can't even get it to be recognized by Windows when I connect via usb.Are there drivers required? I was under the impression it was simply plug & play. I just get the error message telling me the USB device is not recognized.Can anyone give me a hand with this?
My windows vista laptop has stopped recognizing my iphone and it doesn't show up in itunes. I can see the phone through windows explorer and I have used multiple cables, but it still won't recognize the device.
I keep trying to sync my callender through the blackberry desktop to outlook callender, its gives me the same message all the time. Unknown error reported.Spent hrs in phone shop today with v helpfull chap, my curve will sync with his laptop, his OS is windows 7 mine is Vista.
The installer stops after trying to install the files with an error like "Probem detected in the windows installation package. A program required for this installation could not be executed. Contact your technical support or the package editor". I am assuming this is a compatibility issue with SP2. PC suite has the same issue.
My N73 not connecting with my windows vista after an updated my old software with the nokia software update. i have tried resetting mu phone and unistalling the pc suite and ovi and installing them back but no use... i hav no idea what to do. the mass storage option works fine but the computer just dont recognosie the phone when in pc suite mode... i am using windows vista home basic.before the update the applications were working fine .
like the title suggests i cant install pc suite mode, it fails saying no such interface supported. is this a known issue? does anyone have any ideas on this.
Windows Vista, 32-bit, Home Premium, Service Pack 2
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
Problem: BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occurs constantly.
I think the problem is the phone drivers (via cable). The program itself shouldn't be it.I made a system recovery, which worked. And my computer was restored. But when I tried once again the same problem occurred. How can I use the phone with the computer without getting the BSOD?
Ok had major issues with Lumia 820 which I got yesterday, as I wanted to upload my contacts and ringtones and music to the phone, now reading the guide I thought this would be so straight forward, insert the USB cable and bingo should sync straight away, well the fun begins. Inserted said cable and found phone but that was it came up in explorer but couldn't see anything, well after trolling all the web sites and saying you need Net framework, Zune, this software that software, and after doing all these things still no go, so tried a different laptop with W7 and installing some more software still had same problem, so now thinking it must be the phone. Removed battery, done hard reset (Nokia for loosing my photos) still nothing, then removed Sim card still no go, then removed the the SD card and BINGO the phone would sync. So it would seem if you have a SD card inserted then the phone won't sync this as wasted hours of my time just to get this to work. Put the SD card back into my old HTC and that would sync ok. Perhaps Nokia would like to comment.
I have some mp3 files with mp3 tag in Chinese character.After sync (using Windows phone app from Microsoft), all the mp3 tags become garbage characters.I tried to copy the file directly to windows phone, but have the same result.Is there any windows phone app that I can modify the mp3 tag?I am using Windows 7 64bits and Lumia 920?
I just bought a Nokia 900 phone today and am now trying to sync it with my computer, but no matter how many times I plug it in, it's inly response is to charge the battery. I downloaded Zune and everything, but it keeps asking to plug in my phone with the USB. I don't know what to do.
ok so i just got a nokia lumia 610, but everytime i try to add a new contact, i add a name and a phone number and as soon as i try to save it, it pairs it up with either facebook or hotmail (by itself), and then it says i cant it as i have choosen not to see contacts from facebook/hotmail, i would happily have my facebook contacts showing but the last thing i want is 300+ people on my phones contacts that i will never phone, or text, also if i try to show contacts from facebook, and then delete the 1's i don't want to see, it doesnt let me press delete so is there a way to connect only some contacts to facebook, so you only see the 1's your going to use and have the number of, or is there a way to delete the contacts you dont want to see from the peoples/contacts? if i cant sort this out i wont be able to use this phone,
I had a Zune playlist which now am unable to port to my Lumia 920 via my win 8 laptop.I am also unable to create a playlist from my music which I can see in the windows phone app when I connect my lumia 920. please advcie what needs to be done.
I just got my Lumia 920 and I love it, but the only thing that drives me crazy is the contacts list. It has over a thousand people beause it imported all my facebook, skype, google and etc. on there. So when I try to search someone or just push search the entire list of over a thousand people pop up and I dont want to look at a bunch of random facebook friends when in reality I only call about 10 people regularly on that list. I have tried to filter and it just says synching then goes back to the home screen. I have tried filtering and a few other things but it just continously says synching in the top right corner. How do I get my contacts to only be saved phone numbers?
I had a N97mini which i used Nokia Suite and lead, which sync'd my calendar within seconds! I've had my 800 for 5 days and i have not been able to sync my calendar. We are not allowed to publish calendars to the "cloud"!!!
My Exchange account is set to sync "when items arrive" (which works as it should be), however if I delete the mail I received (or any other) and then check my PC or web client the message is still there... it only disappears if I click the refresh icon on my phone?
Like all I see I also bought a windows 800 on the basis that all our team of 50 would change from Iphones to windows so we could sync with our outlook which is not server based but we each run our own outlook folders but no there is no outlook sync. Yes you can copy to the live account and then use that as your main calendar but who wants to do that?
I asked and was told specifically that it would sync with outlook so the Carephone Warehouse guy either lied or did not know his stuff ( I know what my guess is!) Amazingly my wife's samsung galaxy using Android does sync.
If you can tell me how I can synchronise my windows phone with my Outlook without exporting and importing CSV and ICS files then please do so.

I tried to soft reset my Lumia 800, after I add in all my live account, gmail and facebook, I found that all my contacted that used to linked together, I need to relink them again. Is there a way that I can backup the contacts and I don't need to link them again after I reset the phone.
In sheer frustration to try and separate my phone contact from my windows live contacts, I deleted several contacts from my Windows Phone and this has also subsequently deleted the contacts off MSN Messenger (yes I now know that they are synced).
I then logged onto the Windows Live homepage and was able to undelete the contacts but they are not re-appearing on MSN Messenger. I can see the contacts re-appear on my Windows Phone and on the Manage My Contacts page of Windows Life.
There seem to be no functionality to schedule the e-mail sync to be turned off at night, like you could with the old Symbian phones, for example between 23:00 and 7:00, or in weekends.
On the Lumia, you have to turn it off manually every night, alternatively turn off the sound every night. An effect of this is that the phone consumes so much battery at night that the alarm clock in the morning seldom works, as the battery is empty.
I've managed to get Outlook 2010 set up as an exchange server - couldn't carry on trying to use it with hotmail connector - it just didn't work.So, now on my Lumia 610 I have an Outlook account and I sign into it with my gmail email address and password. But it says it can't find the server settings. So, I'm having a stab at entering them manually. This is what I'm using:So my question is, are these the correct settings to use???? If not, what should they be?I can sense it, I'm close to actually getting my calendar to sync, but I just need to get past this one (hopefully the last!) hurdle.
I've recently acquired a Lumina 920 with Windows Phone 8. I can pair the phone with the car (or car with phone) just fine. I can also make and receive calls, but the phonebook will not sync with the car. This is a deal breaker for me, as I've had multiple IPhone/Android phones that handle this seemingly common operation without any trouble at all.As an experiment, I paired this phone with another car, and the phone book DOES sync. What I get is a message appears on the phone asking for permission to share contacts This does not happen with my car, however.
