1. IrCOMM upgrade needed for Windows 2001

If your PC is running Windows 2000, make sure that you have upgraded it with the IrCOMM patch. Without the IrCOMM patch installed, you will not be able to make data calls with your PC using your Nokia 6610 phone. Updates for Windows are available from the Microsoft Download Center at http://support.microsoft.com/.

2. Nokia PC Suite 5.0 is no longer responding.

If you are using an infrared connection, reactivate the infrared port of the phone and then restart Nokia PC Suite 5.0 .

3. Nokia PC Suite 5.0 does not respond during a data call.


It is not possible to use Nokia PC Suite 5.0 during a data or fax call. End the data or fax call and restart Nokia PC Suite 5.0 .

4. I disconnected and then reconnected my phone without waiting for Nokia PC Suite 5.0 to recognize that the phone had been disconnected. Now Nokia PC Suite 5.0 does not respond.

Before reconnecting the phone, you should wait until Nokia PC Suite 5.0 recognizes that you have disconnected the phone. This process may take a few seconds. The phone icon displayed on the status bar indicates the status of the phone connection. In Nokia PC Sync, the Nokia PC Sync tray icon appears yellow and white when the phone is disconnected. If you have reconnected your phone too early and experience problems, switch off your phone, then switch it on again and restart Nokia PC Suite 5.0 .

5. Imported and exported contacts are empty.

This problem occurs when you install a different language version of Nokia PC Suite 5.0 to the version of MS Outlook, Lotus Notes, Lotus Organizer or MS Schedule that is installed on your PC. For example, if you have the English version of MS Outlook installed on your PC, you should install the English version of Nokia PC Suite 5.0 .

To change the language version of Nokia PC Suite 5.0 :
  1. Click the Start button, go to Settings > Control Panel.

  2. Click Add/Remove Programs.

  3. In the Install/Uninstall tab, select Nokia PC Suite 5.0 and click the Add/Remove button. The Setup Maintenance program will start.

  4. In the Welcome window, select Modify.

  5. In the Language Selection window, select the language version you want to install.


6. Nokia PC Sync does not open my Lotus Organizer 97/gs/4.1 file.


Nokia PC Sync displays the error message "Organizer unable to open..." in the Selected Organizer File for Synchronization dialog, if the Lotus Organizer file was saved without using the "Multi-user access" option.

To check whether this option is selected, select the Save As command from Lotus Organizer and then check that the Multi-User access option is selected when saving your Lotus Organizer File.

7. Nokia PC Sync does not work correctly with Lotus Notes.

Nokia PC Sync has different configurations for Lotus Notes 5.0/4.6 and 5.0 versions. If Nokia PC Sync uses the wrong configuration, the Lotus Notes Calendar database will not be synchronized correctly, so check that you are using the correct synchronization options for your version of Lotus Notes.

8. I have edited my Birthday/Anniversary entries either in my phone or in Lotus Notes (5.0/4.6) and resynchronized, but the corresponding Birthday/Anniversary entries in the phone or in Lotus Notes (5.0/4.6) were not modified accordingly.

Lotus Notes 5.0/4.6 provides support for repeating Anniversary entries. However, the way Lotus Notes handles reoccurring items differs from the way the phone handles them. The 'parent' entry is created and the yearly repeating occurrences are individual copies of it. If any of these occurrences are modified or deleted, the changes won't affect other occurrences. This concerns both Lotus Notes and the phone, whether the entries are to be synchronized or not.

9. I have birthdays with alarms saved on my phone. After synchronizing with Lotus Organizer, there are no alarms with those birthday items.


The alarm times set on the phone for birthday items will disappear from Lotus Organizer after synchronization. The birthday items saved on the phone that have no alarm set will, after synchronization, have the alarm set 7 days before the birthday. The alarms on your phone will not be affected by synchronization. This is a Lotus Organizer functionality, and there are no preventive actions available.

10. Old To-do items appear in my phone after I have synchronized the phone with Outlook.


If your Outlook Calendar has To-do items that have no due date the items might be synchronized into the phone even if they are outside of the synchronization range.

11. The 'Synchronization completed' message appears, but all items are not synchronized.

If you have several Calendar items with alarms in your PIM, the synchronization procedure might be interrupted. To prevent this, remove the alarms and try again. The same problem may occur when transferring Calendar items using Nokia Content Copier.

12. I disconnected the source phone and then connected the target phone without waiting for Nokia Content Copier to recognize that the phone had been changed. Now Nokia Content Copier does not recognize the target phone.


Before connecting the target phone, you should wait until your PC stops detecting the source phone and the text Unknown appears in the Target phone box of Nokia Content Copier. This process will take a few seconds. If you have connected the target phone too early, please disconnect the target phone and wait until the text Unknown appears in the Target phone box; then try connecting the target phone again.

13. In Nokia Content Copier, the message 'Phone memory full' appears when moving contacts from the old phone to the new phone.

To resolve this problem, move all contacts from the SIM card to the phone, and try again.

14. My Nokia PC Sync makes duplicates when I am synchronizing contacts after having restored them with Nokia Content Copier.

Nokia Content Copier always creates new identifications for the contacts when they are restored. These contacts are therefore identified as new ones. You can remove the duplicate contacts by using Nokia Phone Editor.

15. I can't update operator logos to my phone using the Nokia PC Graphics application.

Operator logos can only be sent as text messages. You cannot transfer Operator logos between your phone and the PC.

16. When copying contact items from one phone to another with Nokia Content Copier, the web address is not transferred.

Nokia Content Copier does not currently support the transferring of web addresses.

17. After synchronization, the duration of calendar items is not shown correctly

PC Sync does not support meeting end time. Only the meeting start time will be shown in the phone after the synchronization. A meeting in the phone will always show as a half-an-hour meeting in the PIM after synchronization. A call in the phone will have a duration of 15 minutes in the PIM.

18. In Nokia Content Copier, the message 'Phone memory full' appears when moving contacts from the old phone to the new phone.

To resolve this problem, move all contacts from the SIM card to the phone, and try again.

19. After uninstalling Nokia Data Suite 3.0, the connection between PC Suite and the phone cannot be established and the notes in PC Composer 3.3 disappear.

Uninstalling Data Suite 3.0 removes the Nokia PC Composer font and connection medias from the system. As a result, the connection between the phone and PC cannot be established, and notes are displayed using letters. To resolve this problem, boot the PC and reinstall PC Suite.
