I’m sorry to hear about lost contacts. I’ve moved on to Android phones for some years now, I’m afraid I don’t remember what options there are to fix this (apart from restoring from backup…). I’ve sold off my Nokia phones… so nothing for me to play around with now anyway. I suggest to try asking on Nokia support forums?

Hi Zit, I’m in big trouble now. i selected “sync contacts” when i tried to sync email exchange on my nokia n97mini. The sync failed due to the email server problem, but i just found all my contacts on the phone were lost at all. So please help me on this, how can i recover all my contacts back? thx a lot1

Hi eT,

I think if you have no experience with command line stuff and you feel hesitant about ‘hacking’ it’s probably better if you ask someone with experience in mild tweaking to follow the very clear step by step advice on this page…

My guess is that if someone would type it out in much more detail, it would only seem more complicated to you and you might not give it a try at all…

Good luck!

Hi,

I must be the thickest here… but as I see everyone here has been helped I gotta ask:
I can’t manage to follow the instructions… for example: “Convert the com.apple.iPod.plist to text format.
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.iPod.plist” what is ‘plutil’ -convert ? am i supposed to run this in the Terminal application? or else?
Same goes for “Copy the following section …000A11744C5AB712 … “- am i supposed to see these numbers somewhere?

Is there a chance to write me a ‘fool-proof’ way to do this? sorry, have no experience in hacking :-/

Thanx

This could become a “reunion of one time N97 owners” site

I liked the concept of the N97 but it was slow and the keyboard felt cheap compared to the Nokia Communicator I had before. I put my N97 back in the box almost two years ago when I bought an iPhone and last month I gave it away to a friend who needed an extra phone while transferring to another provider.

Enjoy the galaxy!

Hi everyone,

In the meantime I got myself a Galaxy S2 and never looked back. No problems synchronising anymore, everything just works! I can recommend all of you to do the same. Nokia is fighting an uphill battle anyway.

Just thought I should let you know.

Rgds,
Guido

I have followed everything that everyone has said.
But i still keep getting the same issue:

Invalid password. check the password blah blah

I have had the same password forever and i could type it with my eyes closed (which i didn’t to install this!!)
Why does it keep saying Invalid?

Please help or the N97 will die a horrible death!!!
