Hi all,
Been browsing and haven't had much luck finding anything relating to supported filetypes used by my Pearl. Does anyone know of which audio and video types are viewable on the Pearl? Thanks much.

DM for Mac device updates for Pearl 8130

hello!
i discovered the DM for mac today when searching for ways to update the device software on my pearl 8130. i downloaded it and have had no trouble backing up or synching, but am supremely frustrated with the device update process.
i am currently running 4.3.0.97 and the core apps and system software are in the 4.5 range. when i select these updates and attempt to run them -- regardless of whether i choose to include system or third-party app backups in the process -- everything's cool until the DM says it's "Loading OS..."
my pearl reboots itself every time i get to this point, which causes a "DM cannot connect to your device. Reconnect and try again" message from the DM. i've taken out the battery, rebooted the DM -- nothing is working.
does anyone know why this auto-reboot is happening and what i can do about it? alternatively, does anyone know how i can download system updates WITHOUT DM, but still using a mac?
thanks!

I had the same problem and gave up. I did my updates using the Windows XP version of DM using Bootcamp on the mac to launch XP. I tried XP via Parallels first but it seemed to have issues with XP seeing the 8130 via USB. I didn't bother troubleshooting and went straight to Bootcamp and running the MAC as an XP only machine.
Hopefully with everything updated I can use the Mac DM alone but I'm having problems and starting to regret I didn't stick with Missing Sync until MAC DM is more mature.

Videostreams for Pearl 8130

One of the free downloads available on the BB page (link below) is for an app called Videostreams.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/builtforblackberry/music.jsp
The download site says specifically that it's good to go with a Pearl, but it won't work for me. Downloads fine, but when I run it, I get to the frontpage and then it sits and sits and sits... Has anyone else had any better luck with this app? It looks like it'd be cool, if only it would run.

Backlight option for Pearl 8130

Hi all, I'm having an issue with the backlight for my Pearl. Even though I go under into Options and turn off the automatic backlight dimmer setting, the light still only works under a low light situation. I tried shutting it off and removing the battery as suggested to me by someone already, but it's still doing what it wants to do. Am I looking at having to remove the software for the phone and try reinstalling it? Thanks!

BB Pearl 8130 "access not allowed!" when trying to download Blackberry App World

Hi, well I am trying to download blackberry app world onto my blackberry pearl 8130 and whenever I try to download it it goes through the language prompts but then goes to a page with "access not allowed" My device software is v4.5, I am currently in Canada, I have the data plan, I can use the internet browser and my carrier is Telus. All help is appreciated, please and thank you!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
"Access Not Allowed"? Is that the precise and exact message? If not, please do provide the precise message.
Please check this page to ensure you meet the minimum requirements (including if it is available in your country):
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp
If it is available in your country and you feel you meet the device-level system requirements, then contact your carrier to ensure that you meet the service plan (from them) requirements for access (via their network) to AppWorld. Generic data plans, even unlimited, are usually not sufficient...a specific BB data plan is normally required.
Lastly, do be aware that AppWorld is merely a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. As such, it is not your exclusive procurement source -- there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR or Mobihand). I have found that there are very few apps that are exclusive to AppWorld. You can search the on-line catalog and then search out other procurement sources, including quite often the developer website itself.
Good luck!

Desktop manager download and rearranging files for Pearl 8100

I have a Pearl 8100 and lost my desktop manager CD and need to load it on to my new laptop. Where can I download this? I have tried a search here at this website, but I can't seem to narrow down what I need specifically.
Also, I was wondering if it were possible to move files around, specifically, from within a folder to the desktop. For example, Brickbreaker and Messenger.
Thank you - beth

Problems with Pearl 8130

Lately I've been having some issues with my Pearl 8130. I have been able to temporarily correct these problems by removing my battery and resetting the phone, but the problems have gotten steadily worse so that I have to reset it ten times a day.
Sometimes when someone calls me it won't ring (yes, I've checked and my ringer is on); it will show me a missed call, but when I check my call log nothing is there. Yes, someone is really calling, I did confirm that with the caller.
Sometimes when someone sends me a message in BB Messenger, it will show on my main screen the icon showing I have a new message, but when I open BB Messenger there is no message there. If I click on my Message Icon, it shows there that I have a new BB message, but when I click on it, it takes me back to BB Messenger and there is no message there. If I reset my phone by removing the battery, the BB message is there then.
I'm getting frustrated with having to take the battery out so many times a day.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

YES!! Memory Leak!! It's not just you.
I got sucked into getting a fun-sized Blackberry Pearl. I love the interface, the trackball, the intelligent auto-text, the camera, the media player, everything. It's a perfect phone. Almost.
MY BLACKBERRY PEARL 8130 RANDOMLY DELETES ALL MESSAGES WITHOUT WARNING.
It happens to all Pearls with all carriers (VERIZON, SPRINT, T-MOBILE...)
It happens regardless of how much free memory you keep available. I babysit my phone hourly, and it still happens.
It happens even though I have a 2-GIG memory card.
It happens if you let it sit on the counter and collect dust.
It happened to the refurbished unit they sent me to 'fix' it.
It doesn't warn you it's erasing itself. You have to find out the hard way.
When it happens, it also continues to erase all incomming messages and missed call reports, even after it makes more room by doing that auto-brain-flush.
The only way to begin receiving messages again, is to remove the battery for a minute, and re-boot it.
Sprint tells you that it's an intentional design feature by RIM to make room. The 4 Sprint tech support people that I talked to, read from the same script. They keep a sheet of tatterd and worn paper outlining the excuse that SPRINT brainwashed them into reading and believing.
Verizon offers to give you a newer model, but newer models do it too. They might do it less because they have more internal memory, but since there is no set memory level for the crash to happen, I wouldn't trust a Curve, either.
RIM has people that post messages on boards like these, attempting to minimize this problem. They pose as fake Blackberry owners, try to make you feel stupid, and blame it on the end-user. It is not your fault. There is nothing you can do.
My phone number is[removed personal information]
My name is Nathan.
Call me, if you want. I'll tell you all about it.
I kick myself for recommending this phone to my friends. I have 3 fellow Blackberry-owning friends, and they all hate me.
I am hooked on the mini-QWERTY. It's going to be hard to go back to my LG slider. I'm digging it out of my junk drawer tonight, and getting it reactivated.
Are you STILL thinking about getting a Blackberry? Do it, I dare you to not have these problems.
P.S. No, the fancy new 4.5 software does not fix this, it causes more problems. I tried it. Now my 'smartphone' is merely an expensive day-planner. Wait... no, it isn't even that. My calendar doesn't save any dates. The microphone and handset speaker doesn't work, so I can't call anybody. Telenav doesn't give audible prompts, it just shows you where you are, and can't tell you where to go. I wish I could tell somebody at RIM where to go. Of course, it would be hard to mozy in that direction with their heads shoved so far up their assas.

Pearl 8130 will no longer sync with Outlook 2007 or Entourage 2008 Calendar via USB

I currently have the Pearl 8130 v4.5.0.77 running Desktop Manager v4.7 on my office computer (Windows XP) and Pocketmac on my home computer (iMac OS 10). I do not utilize the BES - all syncing is done via USB.
I previously used the earlier version of DM and had no issues syncing all information between the BB, iMac, and XP machines. Now I can no longer sync any of my Calendar information - one-way or two-way - to or from the BB to either computer. My, tasks, contacts/address book all sync without issue.
I've read through the various threads in this forum (and other online forums) and tried the various fixes with no success. Any help is much appreciated. The calendar sync is critical otherwise my Pearl could be cast to swine.

I had the same problem. I found this answer in the Solution Center and it worked. I found that after adding Facebook to my BB it had changed the default calendar. This Resolution fixed it!
Resolution 1
To resolve this issue, change the default calendar service book by completing the following steps:
From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Advanced Options > Default Services.
Change the value of the Calendar (CICAL) field to the desired calendar service book.
Save the changes and synchronize again.
Resolution 2
Upgrade to BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0.97 or later. For instructions, see KB03901.

Upgrade to 4.5 device software on Telus Pearl 8130: HTML Email viewer doesn't work

I just upgraded the software on my Telus Mobility (Canada) BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (from 4.3).
One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade was to take advantage of the HTML email viewer (yeah! finally!).
My installation went fine, and the View Messages in HTML option is enabled (was by default, have verified it again).
On my first test email that I sent to myself from my Yahoo account to my default ISP email account, here's what happened. The Yahoo email uses a very simple "stationery" as background, consisting of two small graphic files, one in the upper left and one in the lower right. In between those two graphics is the text you wish to write. So I put the words "test test" in the text portion and sent it to myself.
When the email was received on the Pearl, indeed I saw the two graphics. However, the text was not displayed.
That was the first attempt. The second attempt produced no graphics at all.
I also tried sending myself an email using some formatting, like bold fonts, different text colors, underline and one jpg file. None of the formatting came through, and the jpg came through as an attachment (instead of in the the body of the email where it was placed). When I tried to open the jpg, by clicking on "1 Attachment", I got an error stating that it is an unrecognized file type and cannot be opened.
So it appears that the upgrade took 1 step forward and 3 backwards.
Anyone experience this, and if so, is there a fix, either now or in the works? Does RIM Support read these forums?
Telus Tech Support said that something is being done but they weren't too specific.
I have another upgrade-related question regarding Documents to Go, but I'll post that in a separate thread.

hello,
about your Bluetooth problem, I suggest you one a new discussion on the decicated board called "BlackBerry Accessories". ou will find there experts about Bluetooth.
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=accessories
about the third point : it usually takes a long time for the device to emerge after a battery pull. It's quite common, you can't do anything about it.
about the second point. In my opinion there at least one picture that is corrupted (or one index file).
in the folder containing that image, do you have many images ? Let's call that folder A.
I suggest you to move them one by one into another folder B, then scroll through the folder A.
it will certainly reset a few times, until at one point it wont' freeze, meaning the folder A does not contain the corrupted image anymore.
you then know that the last image moved from A to B is the culprit.

One glitch after another. First it fails to find any contacts when creating a new SMS (I have 194 contacts in fact)....now it won't even recognize that the mini SD is installed. I'm seriously considering returning it.
Have you replaced the back on the phone? The phone won't find the card without the back in place.
And you don't have to switch the phone off to remove the card, either.

Move Media Player for Mac

I want to be able to watch full TV episodes at ABC.com, but it keeps telling me I need to install the Move Media Player.
I follow the instructions they have for Mac users, and click the "Install Now" button. I allow my computer to trust the website, and when the loading is complete, nothing happens.
I've tried to download this several different ways.
Is it even possible to download the Move Player onto a Mac?

I went to ABC.com and everything worked fine, although as I am not in US I could not watch full episodes, just trailers etc, which all worked well.
I don't know 'Move Media Player' (spelling?) but:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
