8320 w/v 4.5.0.81 software won't sync w/ Desktop v 4.7

Only recently, my BB Curve 8320 has stopped syncing with my Desktop software (and Outlook). I just want to back up my contacts so I don't lose them in case I lose my phone. This has my entire life in it, please help!
No recent updates to Outlook. I tried reinstalling Desktop software, to no avail. I tried installing it on another computer, and it still didn't work. I tried removing the Intellisync folder, and that didn't work either. It has synced in the past with the exact same setup, and one day it just stopped working. Now when I connect the device to my computer, it asks for password, and once I enter it, it just hangs in the pre-syncronization "greyed" screen and doesn't proceed. Should I disable mass storage mode?
The last time I was able to sync it, I put music on it through iTunes. I thought that might be the issue, so I downloaded the Desktop software without Roxio Media Manager, and still had the same problem.
Any thoughts?

Try rebooting your pc.

New iMac w/ Lion: MP Navigator software won't scan on my PIXMA MP780

Bought the iMac w/ Lion, and now my MP Navigator 2.0 software won't scan on my PIXMA MP780. Tried installing MP Navigator 3.0, but it gives me the "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and retry". Any help?
I know that there have been similar answers (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15333807#15333807), but I'm curious to know if these answers will work with Lion.
Many thanks!
Dave
P.S. For those of you with similar issues, I did find a workaround; I found I could use the printer driver from within system prefs as a scanner. Here's what you might try to do if you're having the same trouble I am:
Open system preferences
Select "Hardware -> Print and Scan"
Click on the icon for your installed printer on the left side of the screen
After doing so, you might see buttons for Print and Scan above the data that then shows on the right side of that window.
Click on "Scan" and see if this particualr utility works.
It worked for my MP780. Not ideal (I'm used to the MP Navigator software), but it'll do.

Be sure to do some homework before trying again. There is plenty of advice on the internet, for example:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1161087/install_lion_over_leopard.html
As gumsie says, it is important atleast to backup your own data, photos, music etc on another disk. I would get Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and make a bootable clone of your existing Snow Leopard. Then copy the new Lion installer to this clone as well. With this, you can keep functional (and ask for help here) while you get the Lion installation working and your apps updated.

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit

Photosmart C4680 software won't install in Windows 8.1 64 bit. The installer starts, then never does anything. I see it in Task Manager consuming resources forever:
Here is the version I am trying to run:

Hey!
Sorry for the drop-off from the thread, I must have missed your response, I apologize.
When it comes down to the actual installation and issues revolving around that; it is no longer an HP printer issue. It is an MSI (Microsoft Installer) issue.
For MSI support, I recommend for you to call Microsoft Technical Support at 1-800-642-7676.
Best of luck and let me know the outcome if you think of it. Have a great day!

X200 resolution problem (software won't adjust resolution to 1280x800

I'm using Windows 7, had it installed on the notebook for about 6 months, and now every time I turn it on, the monitor will only display 1024x768. The software won't give me an option to crank it up to 1280x800 and it is even at 1024x768 in the BIOS and the windows boot screen.
has anyone had this problem?

Check these out. Don't know if they'll help, since I only use my built-in iMac display:

After migrating all of my adobe software (Cs4, cs5, etc.) to my new imac, the software won't open due to many errors. Any help on this?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

30 GB iPod - 8 GB "Other" Used - What is Other, & new software won't D/L

This has been driving me insane.
1) When I plug in my iPod and that page comes up with the iPod info, it says that 8GB of my capacity is used due to "other". And due to that, I have no more room on my iPod, even though I don't have any videos or podcasts, and I can only put around 4500 songs.
2) I'm trying to download the new iTunes software and the new iPod software. The iTunes software won't download because it says that there's something wrong with the iPod software...and I tried to update the iPod software and I keep getting an error message that says:
"The iPod could not be updated. An unknown error occured (1417)."
Someone help. I'm desperate.

I have been wondering the same thing. So I did some testing and I found other is Album artwork and something else.
In my iTunes there is
Audio 29.21GB
Video 576.9MB
Photos 5.9MB
Other 444.4MB
Free Space 25.58MB
Photos cannot be the answer because photos have their own spot. I tried removing them anyway and the "other" size stayed the same.
When I turned off "Show album artwork on your iPod" the other category went from 444.4MB down to 106.5MB
That 106.5MB leftover is not contacts or notes because I do not have any. I also do not have any TV shows to test but I suspect those increase the Video size as movies do.
When I removed the movies the other size went down to 103.1.
When I removed podcasts it went to 67.7MB
I am guessing that "Other" is all the extra files that add meaning to the video/audio/picture files. The thumbnails for the album artwork, the enhanced part of a podcast and so on.

Desktop Software won't download device updates?

Hi,
I recently bought a BB Torch and would like to add more language supports via the Desktop Software (ver. 6). However, the installer won't go past the back up phase as the update window immediately closes upon entering the 'downloading device software' phase. I have more than 200MB remaining memory in my phone and the software is up to date. The desktop software won't apply changes to any other applications either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi pokexpress,
Try performing a manual backup of your BlackBerry using the Backup feature in BlackBerry Desktop Manager first. Then, when doing the upgrade, de-select the backup option.

Connect Software won't connect to router after resetting router on any of my computers

I had to do a reset of the router. I have done it with the button on back and through the web based interface. I have followed all directions on uninstalling connect after restarting the router. I get an error that says it does not know if it is connected to the internet.. Well it isn't. I have tried numerous times and the connect will not install. I would like to get it back the way it was when I originally installed it. The key does remember the admin and password but it only allows me to get to the web based interface.
I have tried everything I know to get the key to work again to no avail.
Could someone please tell me what I am missing when I try to use the connect software after resetting the router?
Thank you so very much!!!!

So as per the concern you mentioned that Cisco Connect Software won't connect to the Internet after resetting the router... So could you inform us the model number of the Router that you are using it in the Network...
As well as please inform us that who provides you Internet means who is your ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) ? Check if you can go online from the modem connected directly to the computer... If you can browse the Internet then check whether there is any manual IP address given to your computer or not...

New Version of Software Won't Install

I am trying to download the newest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager (710_b042_multilanguage.exe) for PC and it won't install all the way. The message keeps saying I have previous versions of the software still installed. I tried installing all Blackberry apps, re-booting the PC and re-downloading the update from the website but it still comes up with the same message. Any suggestions to correct so I can download the application?

I finally found a solution to this problem
While performing some searches, I discovered this affected BOTH Blackberry Link AND Blackberry Desktop Software, so there should have been some ... link between the two.
There are many threads around, but each one refers only to one of the two softwares, but the common problems led me to understand that this is unrelated to the software package itself, but to automatic driver installation procedures
carried out by the installer (Windows INstaller)
Here's what I found:
Affected Environment: the problems shows up on Windows 7 and other Windows version machines, when installing or upgrading Blackberry Desktop Software, or Blackberry Link.
Sometimes, you have Desktop software installed and you want to install Link, OR you have Desktop software installed, it is working fine, but you need to upgrade it (automatically) to apply some software update -
some Desktop SOftware updates are required to update some devices.
Symptomps
The problems shows in exactly the same way, during the final steps of installation of either Blackberry Desktop 7 OR Blackberry Link.
You get a warning message saying
"Some of the installation files from the previous versions of the software could not be removed. Make sure that no other application is using these files."
open the
Users\$_you_user_name\AppData\Local\Temp
directory. You may need to choose hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to see these
Choose to sort files by creation date, scroll to the most recent files, and look for one of these
BB_Desktop.log, if you're installing Blackberry Desktop Software
OR
BBLink_Install.log if you're installing Blackberry Link software.
Open your file with a text editor, and look for part of the error message "some of the installation" using the Find feature
The cursor should stop where the error occoured.
If the line above shows something referring to InstallRimUsbDriver, there are good chances you're exactly in my situation.
If you DON'T find the same error I found, the line above the error message should give you a clue about what's going on, and you may want to share it on this forum, however the solution below may not be applicable to you.
Solution
Before you begin BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM AND CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT. The best thing is to have a full hard drive image. While the following steps are quite straightforward, additional problems on your system may be creating a
potentially worse situation. Remember to backup your Blackberry device as well and also contacts/calendars/notes as these can be affected by the first sync after Desktop Software reinstallation.
While I'm listing all the steps I took, some of them may be unnecessary, however the uninstall/reinstall of Desktop Manager or Link software should be performed anyway, IMHO.
Uninstall Blackberry Desktop Software or Blackberry Link (I chose the "erase user data" option as well).
With the device still connected, Uninstall the Blackberry smartphone driver from Control Panel / Device Manager
Disconnect the device.
Open a command prompt window, and type
pnputil.exe -e
you'll get a list of devices/drivers, scroll as needed and take note of the "oemxx.inf" entries regarding Research In Motion devices.
(xx can be a 2 or 3 digits number)
type
pnputil.exe -f -d oemxxx.inf
to remove the entries regarding the Research in Motion devices.
Chech that the operation succeded after each action.
Restart system.
At this point, yoy may start reinstalling the Blackberry Desktop or Blackberry Link Software;
You may still get the error.
Now perform again the above actions regarding pnputil.exe to see if there are still Research in Motion devices appearing.
then open the
Users\$_you_user_name\AppData\Local\Temp
directory. You may need to choose hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to see these (you should have done this before, see above)
Choose to sort files by creation date, scroll to the most recent files, and look for one of these
rim_usb_install_log (date stamp) - choose the most recent
Open it with a text editor
In my case, I found this(20:52:07): Entering ModifyRimUsbRegKey
(20:52:07): Exit ModifyRimUsbRegKey, RimUsb.sys count: 2
(20:52:07): InstallRimUsbDriver NT
(20:52:07): DeleteAllRIMInfFiles ENTER
(20:52:07): SetupUninstallOEMInf inf fileem192.inf ERROR 0xe000023c
Look for the oemxxx.inf (in this example is oem192.inf) file on your hard drive. Delete it.
Run the installer again. This time, I went into another error
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: Enter
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: CreateInstance failed. Error=0x80070002
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: Enter
(20:59:48): DisconnectDevices: CreateInstance failed. Error=0x80070002
Then rebooted and the install went fine.
Keep in mind that, whenever something goes wrong with these driver related action, you get little information in the main log file, but you get some more in this file.
After performing these action, reconnect the device, it should be recognized; you'll almost certainly need to reconfigure your sync preferences, and start synching again.
Please let me know if this helped.

Bold 9900 won't update using desktop software

hello,
I have mountain lion on my Mac - using desktop software to update my bold 9900 to 7.1.0.2061.
It gets stuck after backing up third party applications and I get the error message - The device data could not be backed up, ensure that you can backup data on your device and try again.
I have done a factory reset and still same message. What is the problem? It won't run the update at all. Have backed up using blackberry protect as desktop software won't back up.
Any ideas?
thanks!

This could be caused by a third-party application. Have you tried to uninstall non critical "exotic" apps before launching the backup process?
Secondly, do you have enough space available on your computer hard disk?
The backup function works as expected on my Mac for 3 different BB devices.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)
