Desktop Manager Wont Backup Word Substituti​on

I'm using Desktop Manager 6 with OS6, and my Desktop Manager won't backup my Word Substitution list (formerly called autotext in OS5).  I have about 200 of the word substitution entires in my phone, but when i try to back them up, the desktop manager only shows that I have 3 entries.  There's no error message or anything, it just shows 3 entries, when I know i have at least 200.  Anyone know how to fix this? I really dont want to have to re-enter 200 entries manually if I ever need to restore my phone.  Thanks

It seems a little silly that it cant be backed up since it's clearly in the list of applications you can choose when you click on customized backup.  If it can't be done, why even put it there in the first place?? I dont have any blackberries with OS5 still on it, but the method you described is exactly how i got my old autotext list onto OS6, I restored my last OS5 backup and then added all the updates manually.  I'm trying to figure out a way to save the word substitution list as a memo (which can be backed up) but I dont want to copy and paste each entry individually, so it loks like i'm out of luck on this one...
Thanks for your input tho )

  • Blackberry desktop manager wont detect blackberry

    i have looked everywhere for a solution to my problem and i simply cannot find a fix. my blackberry curve 8520 wont connect to my desktop manager. i have tried everything i could think of however nothing has proven successful.
    here is what i have so far done:
    -reinstalled desktop manager
    -installed latest update for desktop manager
    -installed drivers for blackberry
    -checked usb cable and ports
    -made sure desktop manager was set to usb
    -pulled the battery on the blackberry (power cycled)
    -restarted my computer
    i believe this is everythign i have currently tried, i am running 64x ultimate windows 7 and my computer does recognise that a blackberry is put in as everytime i do so a ballon at the bottom om my screen says a blackberry has been detected and gives it a drive name and such. it is also charging which ensures enough power is being delievered to the blackberry. i do not have another computer to try the desktop manager on. if anyone has a fix to this issue please respond asap as help would be very much appreciated.

    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).
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager wont start

    I am SOOOO frustrated.
    I have installed the BB Desktop Manager software (never installed or used it before) and it has downloaded fine but it just wont open!! No errors, just nothing. Am getting really frustrated. 
    Any ideas?

    I am not sure I understand - are these instructions you have seen/been given?
    What is the context for your post? I have an issue with DM 6.02 and Windows 7 which is that DM just won't start, the only workaround I have found is to downgrade to 5.0.1 which is not ideal but does seem to work. It worked fine on XP but when I switched to Windows 7 it installed fine but then would not start up.

  • LaCie desktop manager wont run in lion

    Hi
    I have just purchased a new 1TB LaCie D2 Quadra External hard drive and connected it  by Firewire 800 to my 27" iMac.
    I am aware of some compatibility issues, and the setup assistant would'nt run on Lion and you have to reformat manually, which I have done.
    I then had to download v.1.4.3 of LaCies Desktop manager which has loaded and installed successfully, however when I launch the desktop manager, it says "No LaCie desktop manager compatible device found".
    I am in dialogue with LaCie Support but the turnaround is about 1 response a day, and I am keen to sort this out....
    Thoughts are that this forum will be far quicker ! !
    Many Thanks

  • Desktop Manager Wont Work !!!

    Desktop manager is installed and when you open the program it appears to launch but then I get an error box saying its stopped working and to close the program.....can anyone help with this...or point me in the direction of a fix for this....its really frustrating as I want to load some pictures onto my phone and cant.....

    First, you need administrator privileges on the machine. Then when you install you need to right click on the .exe file and select "Run as Administrator."
    I would do a clean uninstall using this:

    Then reinstall using the "run as administrator" method.

  • Desktop manager wont find Phone thru blue tooth

    I need help.
    When I try to connect my phone using blue tooth to the desktop manager (4.6.0.1.2), it doesnt recognize it. In the options menu the blue tooth boxes are not accessable to check. I paired up my phone with my computer and that worked using the pass key where you type in the code in your phone then your computer. It then says connecting to local service then installing modem and the blue tooth icon illuminates next to the computer time briefly then goes out. I bypass the advanced modem settings screen and it wants me to add a dial up number, name and password. As I do not wish to use my phone as the internet connection I click finish. My 8700 now shows in the window along with my mouse and headset. When I try to connect my phone it attempts to connect by saying opening port then it trys to dial by using the *99 and non existant name and password. I then get the error message. With all this said, is there any way to just connec my phone without it trying to dial up first?
    Note: it does connect thru the usb cable just fine.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You won't be able to transfer pictures and media through the desktop manager. It's main functions are backing up and syncing to Outlook yahoo, for contacts calendar etc. You can however sync through Bluetooth. (native drivers only)
    here is the link:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/dynamickc.do?externalId=KB04132&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forwa...
    As far as media is concerned the quickest, most efficient, and easiest way is to plug the USB into the PC and BB
    (IF you have a MEDIA CARD in the BB), it will come up as a flash drive under windows explorer.
    Then you simply drag and drop your media to the card. In Bluetooth transfer, the BB takes only one file
    at a time, which is why I suggest the USB able.
    There is a media Sync program that is very stable, and is a stand alone system here is the link:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/media/mediasync.jsp
    Thanks,
    If you need more info please ask!  If not please resolve the thread using the options by the Kudos’ star, Just place the check in the Post that answered your question, Thanks

  • Desktop manager 7.1 fails to restore Contacts and Calendar from backups

    Today I discovered that I lost my contact and calendar lists on my playbook after upgrading to OS version 2.1.0.1032.
    As a precaution I backed up my device data and apps using desktop manager 7.1 and used windows explorer to duplicate my media folder using the Z:drive option before I started the OS upgrade.
    Since I learned how to deal with lost device data and apps on my BB smart phone I was confident that I could apply this knowledge to my Playbook too, just in case something happened.
    Well, something happened. My PlayBook backup file became a trap even so the desktop manager manual said: “To restore all your smartphone data or tablet data, click All device data and settings.”
     If one ‘thinks’ the phone learning curve can be applied to the Playbook one is doomed as I found out today. The PlayBook backup function for the contact and calendar listing behaves differently than for the BB phone. There is no warning in Desktop Manager 7.1 which says: “This backup file excludes contact and calendar data files which were manually built by the user and are not part of a synced email server”.
    So this posting is about letting other users know to be aware of some OS 2.1.0.1032 short comings. If your contact and/or calendar list was manually built, i.e. it was not linked to an email account you might encounter the above issue.
    When I noticed that my contact and calendar file did not sync with my email account I started to use my contact list for everything useful to remember not just contacts. There were many extra fields available in the PlayBook contact list which could not be matched with the limited fields found in other synced contact lists. So I built a big ‘Good to Know’ file with all kinds of info hoping that one day I could use it also with BB10.
    Unfortunately this OS version wiped my contact and calendar lists which none of the other OS updates were able to do and the ‘Restore’ option via desktop manger 7.1 did not work!!!.  So it looks like some engineering wizard at RIM is trying to upset the non-linked contact list users with this release version.
    I hope RIM finds this ‘group of moles(?)' and deals with these engineers before they can do anymore damage. Remember RIM, the object is to enjoy new updates not to fear them. It would be nice if desktop manager 7.2 would alert us users with a warning or lets us export these files via another tip like: “How can I back up contact and calendar files for the PlayBook“. I realize as of today that this problem was with me all along but came only to light after this OS release wiped my 2 lists completely. There is also no hint in the PB or Desktop user manuals!
    For the time being I will use only my phone’s contact and calendar lists via the bridge as a work around  but I hope the responsible RIM manager reads this postings and tells his engineers to go forward not backwards. Tell them to include a backup feature for non-linked contact and calendar data in 7.2. Not everybody has linked data files or if this is RIM’s intention then let us users know upfront that one could loose his/her data.
    If you ‘liked’ this posting click the ‘Thumb up’ box near by even so this issue has no solution at this point in time. Let’s hope RIM deals with this issue eventually.

  • New Desktop Manager for Mac - backup fails

    Each time I try to back up my Curve to my Mac, it fails when backing up "RMS Databases". I have to shutdown the Curve and restart it after each attempt. I'm currently running version 4.5.0.160 (I see there is a newer version, but can't install till I get a good backup).
    Has anyone got it to back up a Curve?
    Thanks,
    Des

    Hm.. that is weird. I can backup my "RMS Databases" on my Bold, when I click on Backup, and then choose "Selected data", and check only "RMS Databases".. I'm not sure what that database is, but if it shows that it has 0 records, then you might not have to worry about it.
    When you do a full backup, does it say "Backup data completed" though? It would say this at the bottom of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager window.... if it did, then it probably means it backed up everything except that database.
    You can confirm by doing a backup, and choose "Selected data", and then check all the databases, except for "RMS Databases"

  • Backup problem with Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35

    I've got a great problem here. DM is set to backup my BB on connection. Backup is hanging at "Backing up RMS databases 11 of 13 records". The only way to get out of it is to shutdown DM on My PC and reboot my BB.
    I can't get in to device options on DM to stop auto backup because it tries to backup every time i connect. I'm stuck in a very nasty circle.
    Have tried repairing my installation of Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35 through Control Panel bu that made no difference.
    Would be very appreciative of any ideas.

    Since I can't duplicate this problem on my PC what about running the DM on your PC and not connecting your Storm.
    When the DM is open go to 'Tools' and select 'Desktop Options' and make sure none of the boxes are selected and then try "Restore Default Settings" which should select these locations: 
    My Documents\BlackBerry\Backup  
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop
    Now plug in your Storm. Is it still trying to make a backup? If 'yes', hopefully  ViciousFerret (BlackBerry Technical Advisor) will notice my improper response and will advice you better. Just trying to help and get his attention....
    Another way to get attention and a (quick?) answer is to tweet to the Twitter account @BlackBerryHelp. Haven tried it but red about it. 

  • Desktop Manager crashes when opening backup file with critical informatio​n

    I was on a trip and a family member triggered my Bold's secure wipe (wrong password 10 times).  I had made a back-up just before the trip and it contains very critical information.  When I try to do a restore with Desktop Manager (4.7.0.32, same version as used to make the backup), it crashes as soon as I select the backup file.  I tried opening the .ipd backup file from Advanced instead, with the handset disconnected, with the same crash result: "An unhandled win32 exception has occured in DesktopMgr.exe [4340]." where the number in the brackets is different every time.
    Please help me, I will likely lose my job if I cannot restore the information from this backup!
    Edit: I tried reinstalling the Desktop Manager, and same thing.  I even tried 4.6 instead of 4.7 and again, same thing.
    Message Edited by Prune on 12-31-2008 05:03 AM

    Connected to the USB, can you do a Restore > Advanced and select the critical databases?
    Are you connected to the PC via USB to a rear PC USB port--not a USB hub, or front monitor port?

  • Desktop Manager gets stuck during backup.

    Desktop Manager keeps getting stuck during device backup. At the "Messages" backup stage it gets about 80% of the way through then just hangs there. It makes no further progress and thus does not complete a backup.
    How do I resolve this issue?
    Desktop Manager 4.6, Blackberry Bold, Windows XP. 

    using the advanced options, try and backup only the Messages database.
