Modifying device sync options
You can keep the content on your mobile device in sync with Nokia Ovi Suite. This means you can access the same content either on your mobile device or on a computer. If you ever lose your device, all your content will be safe in Nokia Ovi Suite. You can select which content types you want to sync, for example contacts, messages and photos.
Sync in Nokia Ovi Suite occurs both manually and automatically:
-
You can start manual syncing for a specific content type by opening the desired view and by clicking the sync button in the device area, or by clicking Sync in the desired main area in Nokia Ovi Suite Home. You can also start manual sync for several content types at a time by clicking Sync all in the device area of Nokia Ovi Suite Home. This syncs content between your device and computer according to your current sync options.
-
Automatic sync occurs whenever you connect your device to the computer, and it syncs content between your device and computer based on your sync options. This makes it easy for you to ensure content from your device is safe in Nokia Ovi Suite.
In the sync options for your device you can select which content types you want to be synced when you click Sync all in the device area of Nokia Ovi Suite Home, and whether or not you want automatic sync to occur.
To modify the sync options for your device, do the following:
-
Select Tools > Options, or right-click the device image in the device area and select Options for [devicename].
-
Go to Device sync, and from the drop-down menu, select the device whose sync options you want to modify. If you only have one device connected to the computer, the device is selected automatically.
-
Select the content types you want to be synced when you click Sync all in the device area of Nokia Ovi Suite Home.
-
Additionally, select the automatic sync option if you want to sync the selected content types every time you connect your device to the computer.
