Blackberry desktop software and itunes music sync problem

Ok so I have a Blackberry Torch 9800, OS 6.0 and the current blackberry desktop softer version 6.1.0.35.
I was previously able to access all my itunes music and playlists via the desktop software. But since I completed the software updates not all my music is loading into the software and none of my playlists are showing up.
I'm not sure if this is related but I believe that twice my phone has rebooted itself. I've also noticed that the new desktop software has had issues detecting my phone. My main concern is the problem with the music sync issue.
In the interim I have just dragged and dropped music files onto my memory card. Can you please let me know what I can do to fix this if anything....thanks.

I just experienced the same thing and after feeling frustrated for about an hour and wishing I'd learn my lesson and stop upgrading software for no reason, I went into the Desktop Manager software Device Settings.
Under Device Settingsgo to the Media tab and you'll see a Music Source option. I found that my default setting was on Windows Media Player instead of iTunes. Once I switched it back my view refreshed and my playlists showed up again.
Hope this helps!

  • Calendar Sync - Blackberry Desktop Software and Outlook

    In synching Storm with Outlook using Blackberry Desktop software, I don't want to lose past records in Outlook on my laptop. Does anyone know the best way to accomplish that and still do a two-way synch? It appears that during the two-way synch although I specify 900 days before that the software wants to delete past Outlook records. A flow chart of the synch software logic would be helpful if that's out there anywhere.

  • BLACKBERRY DESKTOP SOFTWARE and OSX Lion

    Dear all
    I have a new MacPro with latest OS XLion and after installed blackberry desktop software all system started go very slowly.
    I called Apple support and  they told me that BB has not any update that works with new OS X Lion system and installing and sync with BB software is not suggested
    Since this is an important issues as  I'm using BB for professional work I'll need to have such synchronization possible. How can I?
    Thank you for your prompt help

    Well, to me, it doesn't seem correct that BB is not compatible with Lion !?
    I am using at the moment of writing this message the latest BB desktop software on my MB Pro 15 "mid-2010" and os X Lion without ANY problem of speed.
    Just had an issue with the transition to iCloud (as many other people) obliging me to "repatriate" manually all my calendar and contact files!
    For the rest, everything runs smoothly on my MAC
    Just check that you really have the latest version of the software through the update menu command.
    Really?  Here is the article from Blackberry: - Just talked to them AGAIN and the answer is that yes I will be in a continuos loop with over 25% of my entries changing every other time I synch.  Stupid
    Syncing calendar events from the BlackBerry smartphone using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac causes multiple modifications to existing events
    Article ID: KB25147
    Product(s) Affected:
    BlackBerry® Desktop Software (Mac OS)
    Overview
    When a sync is carried out with BlackBerry® Desktop Software for Mac and both the BlackBerry® smartphone and the calendar program on the Mac contain the same appointments or a large number of the same appointments the Mac sync alert appears showing modifications to those appointments already in the calendar on the Mac.
    BlackBerryDesktop Software (Mac OS)
    Mac OS
    The issue occurs because appointments on the BlackBerry smartphone are categorized as 'public' or 'private'. The appointments by default are 'public' and a checkbox within the appointment details allows a user to mark it as private.Cause
    As an example, iCal appointments do not have this categorization so when the sync takes places the BlackBerry smartphone data has this extra field being pushed and whilst iCal cannot display this data, the truth database in the Mac itself can store that information. This means that the data stored in the Mac truth table has this field added to its stored data.
    The software is working as designed. Those modifications should be accepted.Resolution------
    SOOOOOO - you accept and then synch - no problem.  Close computer - open again - try to synch and get exact same message.  Iphone is the answer.

  • I downloaded new desktop software and try to sync with 8530 but wont sync to outlook contacts and calander

    i had blackberry desktop manager on my work computer and use to sync with outlook perfectly. 2 weeks ago i did a backup then sync as normal. i lost over half of my 600+ contacts and alot of calander listings on my phone. tried to sync again from computer to phone and lost more contacts and calander listings. so i tried to restore from the backup and lost more data. i reinstalled software from the cd i recieved last year when i purchased the 8530. the desktop software would not find outlook and would not sync. i deleted softwaqre and just downloaded new blackberry desktop software. it still will not find outlook on my computer and will not sync.
    any suggestions what i may be doing wrong on getting software to find and sync with outlook?

    Hey Bryanw,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
    If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
    Thank you.

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!

  • ITunes music sync problems (clouds and dotted circles)

    I think this is a common problem but I tried several solutions I found online and nothing seems to work.
    When I connect my iPhone to iTunes I have several songs on it that have a dotted circle and that are in grey font. These songs are mostly from an album I purchased some time ago and then removed from my iTunes library since I did not want to hear it anymore.
    I would like to get those phones off my phone. I tried to uncheck the "sync music" box and made a sync but this did not work. I also tried to remove all songs from my iphone using the storage management settings but this did not work as well. On a related note, there are several songs that show up on my phone and that have a little cloud next to them. These songs do not show up in iTunes when I connect the phone.
    So in summary: My iPhone shows songs (with a cloud) that I do not see in iTunes when I check what is supposed to be on my phone. And what I see in iTunes (the songs with the dotted circle) do not seem to be on my iPhone.
    This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions anyone?

    The songs with the cloud symbol don't appear in iTunes because they aren't on your phone.  Those are links to your previously purchased music in the iTunes store so you can easily download them by tapping the symbol. 
    If you want help with the "dotted circle" issue you should post this question over in the iTunes forum.  The only thing I can suggest is to delete all your music (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage>Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Songs), then sync it back using iTunes.  If you already tried that unsuccessfully, try posting over in the iTunes forum.

    Hello,
    You seem perhaps to already have tried at least some of what is discussed in this thread, but I cannot tell if you've truly tried it all...therefore, I suggest this thread:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
    It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
    Otherwise, it really sounds like you have some major conflict or issues with your Windows OS itself. While quite rare, it's not unheard of needing to completely reinstall Windows so as to get things working well. But, before you resort to that, you should do all of the normal Windows stuff -- Windows updates, check all of your apps for updates, run registry cleansers, run full virus scans, run malware detectors, etc. etc. etc. This very much sounds like a PC/Windows problem more than a Desktop Software problem.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software and Palm Desktop v6.2

    I am a happy new Blackberry so far, but have come across something that is very annoying.  I am attempting to move the data off my Palm TX, but the Blackberry Desktop does not recognize the version of the Palm Desktop software that I am using.
    What is making this difficult:
    It appears that I have an unsupported version of Palm Desktop (at least from Blackberry's perspective).
    I do not have the option to go to an older Palm Desktop version.  Older versions do not run on Vista.
    I do not have Outlook. 
    Any thoughts?

    Well, I finally got my Palm data transferred.  First, I was pleasantly suprised that Yahoo actually does have support for the Task List, which was the only thing I thought it was lacking.  I performed a sync of my BB with Yahoo and saw that a test entry of each type was uploaded to Yahoo and vice versa.  Therefore, my problem was then a matter of getting the Palm data up to Yahoo.
    Approach 1:  Use the Yahoo Sync tool with the Palm Desktop.
    Result:  Didn't work.  Yahoo Sync doesn't support Palm Desktop 6.2.
    Approach 2:  Save the Palm data to an archive file and use the Yahoo Import tool.
    Result:  Didn't work.  The file format for Palm Desktop 6.2 was not supported by Yahoo.
    Approach 3:  Dig a flaky notebook out of my workshop and install an older version of the Palm Desktop.
    Result:  I got the Palm Desktop installed, then noticed that this notebook had Outlook on it.   I synched my Palm with Outlook, then installed the Yahoo Sync tool.  Performed a sync and all my Palm data was sucked up into Yahoo.  Went back to my Vista machine and ran the BB sync and all the Yahoo data came down.
    Finally!
    Thanks for all your help.

  • HT1766 iPod OS 5.1.1 and iTunes Photo syncing problems

    I use to be able to sync my iPod to my computer but since I updated my iPod OS from 4 to 5.1.1, I lost the feature to copy pictures from PC to iPod using iTunes. Can anyone tell me why and how I can restore this feature?

  • ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

    I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
    I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
    In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method.  I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked.  I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
    This has worked flawlessly for years.  Until now.
    The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS.  The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes.  I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab.  I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
    I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab.  This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
    I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
    This is where I get confused.  For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
    WHY!?
    Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
    If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
    Thank you.

    This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software freezes at message "Action Engine Loading Configurat​ion"

    I have Windows 7 Professional. My Outlook profile is saved on an Exchange server and my Blackberry had previously beeng syncing with Outlook in this setup for nearly a year without issue. 
    Recently, the desktop software freezes at "Action engine loading configuration" message and is unrecoverable. I have tried the following things to rectify the situation:
    1) Adjust the organizer settings not to sync anything except the date & time. Still happens
    2) Delete all data from the device using Desktop Software and try to resync. Same problem
    3) Uninstall and reinstall Blackberry Desktop Software and try to sync with both the original set of data and the empty, deleted data Blackberry. Same problem.
    4) Tried wiping the blackberry completely using JL Cmdr, reinstalling the OS. In this scenario I can sync Addresses but once I sync Calendar the problems happens again and I am unable to ever sync it again (Including thereafter when de-selecting the Calendar option. 
    At this point I have spent hours scouring Google for help and trying the above items. This has been disastrous for me as I rely on the sync'd data for work and have already starting missing things. 
    I don't believe there is anything wrong with the Blackberry, as it works fine and works perfectly well after re-loading a fresh, OS, etc. 
    I have tried playing with the support logs but because the software freezes before calendar can sync, nothing is in the log that states if there is a corrupt record in calender causing this. Nothing dramatically changes in my calendar between the day that syncing worked and the day it didnt.
    I've tried searching the Blackberry forums and have found some info but nothing helpful. RIM does not provide support telephone numbers and AT&T support has continuously demonstrated itself as worthless over my time with them. 
    Is there any resources left at all that I could try to get past this issue, not waste any more time, and be able to resolve the issue?
    Thank you for reading and for any input you are willing to offer.

    I had a Dell PalmPilot type device in 2003 that sync'd contnously with my computer using ActiveSync. I didn't ever have to click Sync, I would make a change on either device and they would sync. 
    The fact that it is 2011 and we still work with Desktop Manager, the biggest piece of **bleep** software I still have to use, is simply pathetic.
