How do I get an OLDER version of PC suite ?

Options

17-Jan-2010 03:52 AM

I'm a Mac user - OS X 10.6. My Nokia is 3500 classic. I have 5000 SMS messages in it that I need to download to some safer location and I cannot access either the Inbox or Sent Messages with my Mac - only images and music folders.

 

I have an old laptop running Windows XP (with no internet connection) so I downloaded the latest PC suite to my Mac and

transported it to the XP laptop via memory stik.

 

The latest  version of PC suite refuses to install on the XP laptop saying that the OS version is not supported. It is XP 5.1

service pack 1. I do not wish to upgrade the junk laptop.

 

Can you please tell me where I can download a version of PC suite that will run on XP service pack 1. Or something that will access my sms via my Mac. All I want to do is archive my sms messages. Thanks.

You can search those download sites for the old versions (softpedia, download etc).

One way to get links to older versions of Nokia PC suite from Nokia's web site is to pick an older phone model.  They sometimes point to older PC Suite versions -- version 6.x would suit you fine for XP SP1.  Pick a phone model from like 53 years ago and you may get lucky.

 

For PC Suite 6.83.20.1 pick Nokia 1006

For PC Suite 5.8 (Win98 and WinME support) pick Nokia 6100

For PC Suite 4.81 pick Nokia 6210 

For PC Suite 3 pick Nokia 3650

 

Some of these are device specific so they may or may not work for you.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I found a total of 3 older PC version numbers available, none of which support my 3500classic. I was hoping that someone might have a fairly recent version that does not require XP service pack 2 and would be willing to share with me.

Suggestions of any other method of archiving my SMS would also be appreciated. I downloaded syncfony but it doesn't support Nokia 3500 yet either.

Ah I didn't bother to check how new your phone was...released in June 2007, so it has to be a version of PC Suite released after that date, which may means you may just have to upgrade to XP SP2 atleast.  It's not that bad!
