Creating a new synchronisation task

Creating a new synchronisation task involves selecting the PC application that you want to synchronise with a phone, and defining synchronisation settings. If you do not make changes to the synchronisation settings, the settings for the last selected synchronisation task will be used.

To create a new synchronisation task

  1. Connect a Nokia phone to a PC.

  2. Click the Nokia PC Sync icon and then click Settings.

  3. Click Create new settings.

  4. On the first page of the wizard, select the new PIM application from the drop-down list. Follow the instructions on screen to finish the wizard process. If you choose to skip the wizard process, a set of default settings will be used in the synchronisation. It is recommended that you follow the wizard to get your personal settings right for the synchronisation.

  5. On the What To Synchronise page, you can specify what information to include in the synchronisation.

  6. On the PIM specific page, you can enter information about the PIM application you have selected. For more information on the PIM specific settings, follow the links in the See also section at the bottom of this page.

  7. On the Synchronisation Range page, you can specify the settings for synchronising Calendar/To-do items. For more information, see Calendar/To-do tab. If you did not select Calendar / To-do Items on the What To Synchronise page, this page will not be shown.

  8. On the E-mail page, you can specify settings for synchronising e-mails. For more information, see E-mail. If you did not select E-mail Items on the What To Synchronise page, this page will not be shown.

  9. On the Bookmarks page, you can specify the settings for synchronising Bookmark Items or Bookmarks and RSS Feeds depending on the phone model. For more information, see Bookmarks. If you did not select Bookmark Items or Bookmarks and RSS Feeds on the What To Synchronise page, this page will not be shown.

  10. On the File Synchronisation Settings page, you can specify the settings for synchronising File and Folder Items. For more information, see Files and Folders. If you did not select File and Folder Items on the What To Synchronise page, this page will not be shown.

  11. To view the advanced settings used in the synchronisation, click Advanced… on the Finish page.

  1. The new synchronisation will start when you click Finish on the last page. If you do not want to start the synchronisation, clear the selection in the check box at the bottom of the page.

 

Note:

If you are using the Nokia 9300 smartphone or the Nokia 9500 Communicator and receive the following error message during synchronisation: “PC Sync information. The mobile phone has not responded.”, you have to restore the PC Suite profile. Note that the PC Suite profile cannot be restored in other Nokia mobile devices. To restore the profile, go to the Sync menu on your mobile device, select the PC Suite profile and restore it. See the user’s guide of your mobile device for more detailed instructions. Then follow the instructions above to reset the synchronisation settings in Nokia PC Sync.
