Hi

I really hope you can help me.

I have just upgraded my phone to a Nokia N73 and have purchased tomtom navigator 6 on mini SD card. Both arrived on Tuesday and the tomtom installed beautifully.

BUT !! I have a 2gb mini sd with my music etc on and don't want to be swapping and changing cards all the time, so I used nokia pc suite to back up the tomtom card and then restored to my new [empty] card.

The restore went fine and the log confirmed this. However, although I know tomtom is there I can't locate the icon anywhere on my phone and therefore can't launch it

Any ideas?

TIA

Use a card reader and Windows Eplorer to copy the original contents to the PC then back to the new card, Make sure you have "Show Hidden Files" selected - see Here for some information - Mike

:-( My card reader isn't compatible with my card, damn me buying things then manufacturers developing new & improved products :-D

But having looked at your guide, that is what I have doen using Nokia PC suite.

I have a full backup of tomtom and restored it to a brand new card, I can see the files in file manager on my phone, there are a stash of folders relating to tomtom in there but I don't know how to actually launch tomtom.

I cna reformat the card and maybe try what someone on your linked thread suggested, which was loading the tomtom card, then removing it and putting the new card in?

OK have backed up the tomtom card again, reformatted the new card and restored to the new card [using nokia pc suite] and it's the same as before, ie lots of folders but no launch icon.

Any ideas?

Use Windows Explorer this allows Hidden Files to be copied, I am not too sure about Nokia software it might not permitt this - Mike

Still trying everything I can think of

I have examined both cards in pc suite [screenshots below] and noticed that 2 files on tomtom card weren't copied to the new card [itn & logging], so I put the tomtom card back in and manually copied them to desktop then swapped cards and copied them to the card.

Both cards now have all tomtom files but I still don;t have the launch icon.

Logic tells me I am missing something simple, but i'll be damned if I can fathom out what

Thanks Paul, yes thats where mine went on initial install as well, and that was where I looked for it.

BUT...................




WHOO HOO

Just caught a neighbour on his way back from the pub and purloined his card reader, am in the process of loading it back onto new card as I type so keep your fingers crossed.

Mike and Alix - you were quite right about pc suite, even though I have my pc set to show hidden files at all times, they weren't showing in pc suite, so hopefully now I will be up and running.

Will post when restore is complete and phone tested.
