I don't understand your question. When you ask "How can I put music and movies on my N810" are you asking "how do I transfer the files to the SD memory" or "how do I play the music and video files that are on my SD memory". Or are you asking both questions?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

I'm asking how can i put movies and music on the already built in 2gb memory on my device. I also would like to know how to convert dvd's into Nokia n810 format.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

You can transfer your files from a desktop computer to a SD memory card using a card reader, then put SD card into your N810 and use it's file manager to transfer those files to a "Music" or "Movies" folder that you created on that 2gb internal memory.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Where do i download the file manager?

Somebody want to step up and improve https://wiki.maemo.org/Getting_media...to_your_tablet ?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

There's one already installed - look in the "Utilities" folder.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

My question is simple, does anyone have a answer to it?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

I use DVD Catalyst 3 to convert my DVD movies to a .AVI video file. Costs $20. One step process. Use 400 x 240 setting for video conversion. Use 5 or 6 for volume setting. Anything higher can distort sound. Hope this helps!

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Dan9311 - both of your questions have been answered.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Yes it does, i would now like to know how to put it on my device. If you need a software to vput you're files from you're PC > device. Could you tell me where to get it.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

1. connect N810 to your compter with usb cable (use the one that came with the device)
2. copy the files the same way as your N810 was USB memory.
3. done

No extra software required.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Which folder do i place the files in?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Any folder... but you may want to keep them organized by having one folder (for example "Music") for music. (And can also have subfolders for different genres or artists... your imagination is the limit.)

Also you can create "Video" for videos, etc. It really is up to you what you want to do.

AFAIK: the Metalayer-crawler demon running in the N810 will find your new media files and create entires to the built in Media Player automatically.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Thanks for the help, one last question. Do i put these folders in the main directory?

Or do i put the "music" "videos" folder under the folder named "Maps" or ".apt-archive-cache" ?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

You shouldn't add into folders that already exist in the memory card(s). Those are created by other applications and their own data. Just add your new media folders to the memory card root.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Hmm, yeah. Could you please shoot me a e-mail. It's not working for me.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

No... I don't think emailing will help anything...

Are you saying you can not create new folders to the memory card, or that you can not copy files from your PC to the memory card?

Just to make sure you do have your N810 tablet hooked up to a PC via USB cable. You should see the N810 2GB internal memory card as Removable Disk. Correct?

Procedure to create folders on memory card is the same as you were creating folder on your computer hard disk. (Like if you are in Windows File Manger in C:\ root, you just click File menu, select New, and then Folder... and there you go.) The only difference is that you need to open the Removable drive instead of local (C:\) drive.

Copying media files is just a simple Copy/paste, or Drag-n-Drop operation that you should be familiar with if you ever worked with computers in general.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

The first problem is that i had to reset it, and the nokia instructer. So i did it, and the process deleted most of the programs that came with the Nokia n810 by itself. Is their a way to get those files back?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Dan, you are not making much sense, sorry.

So let me get this straight, you "reflashed" your tablet. Aka you restored it to factory settings? Did you make a backup? If you did, you are in luck, because it will automatically reinstall your programs. If not, you have to do it yourself.

To turn a DVD into a format playable by the tablet...

Use a DVD software to make it into a .avi file (search google for this)

Then, turn off the tablet, plug in the USB, and turn it on. This is to make sure everything is working.

On your Windows or Linux or Mac computer, you should see a new "Removable Drive."

Open this drive...

Now, there should be some folders, like Map and .atp, etc.....

Do not care about these folders. Instead, make a new one called "Movies" or "Media" or whatever. It does NOT matter.

Move the .avi file you made into the folder you made.

Eject the Nokia, and open the media player. It should automatically find the files.

Hit play!!!


FYI: The maps take a LOT of space, so I don't think a full DVD will fit, unless it is really low quality. If you don't use the Maps, you can delete them!

Here is a video by a former forum member which might help you.

You might want to look at other tutorials on this site for help with the N810.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

That document has many pages, could you tell me what to do?

Many thanks,

Dan

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Since i did not make a backup, the Nokia instructer said i should not. So i lost all of the information on the device, i would like to know how to get the maps and other folders back onto the device. It does make scene you just can't understand it.....

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

I see no one on this forum is capable of helping me.....

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

This is an invalid conclusion, completely unsupported by the messages in the thread that precede it.

Several members have posted links to tutorials, programs and wiki entries that address your questions, as well as spelling out step-by-step directions on how to accomplish the specific tasks for which you sought help. Short of driving or flying to Miami Beach and reading the information/documentation to you and/or performing the tasks for you on your tablet, I see little more that can be done by the helpful folks on this forum...

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

No one answer my question smart one...

I ask if someone could tell me how to get the origional files back on my device..

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

The maps can be downloaded from within the "Map" program.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

When i tried it said download failed.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

If you reflashed your device (I think that might be what you meant by "Nokia instructer" which is meaningless), then you cannot recover what's on it. Just as if you wiped your desktop HD with a factory image. Since it's not possible, it's true that no-one here can help with it.

However, it's not clear that that's even what you did; we're having to try to guess your tablet's state from inadequate descriptions of what you've done to it. So if you didn't reflash, you'll need to post in more detail what it is that you did do.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

I called up nokia and asked them how to set my device to factory settings, then he said go to the applications tab>Settings> Control Panel> Then click the button with the one big line and three smaller ones>Tools>Clear device. He said just click ok

Then when it started up, it asked for where i live and the time.

It looked the how i first bought it.

Now i'm really scared that i lost the origional files that the device came with, is it possible for my to update the OS and i will get them back?

What is the latest OS?
I have version 1.2007.42-19, is that the latest?

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Just to put in some perspective - your questions are like asking in an indycar racing forum, on how to change gears of your car...

The map software that comes with N810 is a trial version. Unless you are going to buy it, you dont need it. There are other free map software available.

The version you have 1.2007.42-19, is old. so you need to update it. Backup any files in your N810. Make sure your N810 battery is full.
Go to the page https://www.nokiausa.com/A4686323 and follow the instructions.

Thank-You, i don't need you sarcastic perspectives....

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

vabgeo is just trying to help you, I wouldn't call that being sarcastic.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

I said thanks, and gave him thanks. I don't need you to tell me what to do.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

rotfl ....

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

Strange that it doesn't show up, then. :rolleyes:


Anyway, I still don't understand what "origional files" you think are missing. You did a clear device, which clears all user files. That includes downloaded maps, but those aren't original, and may be redownloaded just as they were downloaded initially.

Anyhow, since you're using an old OS, you can just reflash to the newest, and post back with specific information about any files you think are still missing.

Re: How to put music and movies on your Nokia N810
 

The internet is a strange place, people do everything that they can to help someone, explain in clear simplistic terms and still have to endure digital aggressiveness. Dan9311, there were very few pages in the document I linked you too, there was a short video to watch which explained what to do. I think you need a device that "just works" ;) and maybe the N810 is not the right device for you. Hope you get everything figured out without too much stress.

Thanks man.
