You're welcome.
Let's start with your device model, you've gotten to post that.
But we gotta have some detail of what you're trying to do. In your first post and thread title you mentioned with using Desktop Manager, then you most recent post says without using any "middleman".
You can use Bluetooth to transfer from the BlackBerry to the PC. You can use Desktop Manager for that, but not for document files like Word. You can use Media Manager for that transfer, but there's another middleman you don't want.
Automatic? Maybe not. Even using a simple application on your PC like SyncToy will require some user interaction.

  • Automatic File Upload

    I'm working on an application that will allow a user to
    import a music playlist from a file already saved on their pc.
    Since the location of this file is normally set, is there a way to
    grab that file without forcing the user to browse to it?
    It looks like the download file option has the ability to set
    a default file, but all I've seen on the upload talks about using
    the browse function as the only way of selecting a file

  • E-mail issue after using Desktop Manager

    I am a new BB user (Curve 8530). So I am confused with this issue. Couple of days back I connected phone to my laptop and used desktop manager (ver 5.0.0.11). I just wanted to explore the features of DM. After I disconnected from laptop, the company account emails stopped coming to the handheld nor I could send any from the company mail-id from the phone. I have configured gmail and hotmail on the BB. These were operational perfectly. Only the official mail-id was not getting synched. And I started getting mails with etp.data files in my outlook. The company BB admin guys resolved the issue. So everything was fine. But no one could tell what was wrong. So today I again connected to the phone to DM cause I wanted to move contact from outlook to phone. Now again, i have the same issue. No official emails on my phone. I am sure the admin guys will again solve the issue. But I need to know why is this happening, else i won't be able to use DM at all. can some one explain as to why this could happening. should i check/change any setting on phone or DM.

    I am not sure this could help, but when you first intalled DM, did you onfigure it for Enterprise Use? Are you running 5.0.1 or 6.0? In the 5.0.1 version, you had to set it up for BES use when first installing the software.
    Also, validate with IT the email and other security policies they have in place for BES users...
    I know I am providing more questions than solutions, but hopefully they will steer you in the right way...

  • Update software without using Desktop Manager

    I'm trying to update my BB 8520 because it's been playing up (again) and I've tried using the desktop manger to update it but it doesn't seem to let me complete the update even though it says there is one. Is there anyway of updating it through the internet like a website or something, or does it have to be through the desktop manager? 
    Thanks. 

    See the link below for the download, and follow these simple installation instructions.
    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • URGENT.........File Upload using Servlets and jsp

    I am a new servlet programmer.......
    iam using tomcat server......
    can any one pls help in writing code for file upload using servlets and jsp without using multipart class or any other class like that....
    Please URGENT..

    Slow down! "Urgent" is from your perspective alone. I, myself, am not troubled or worried in the least.
    hi ugniss
    thanks for ur reply....sorry i was not
    y i was not asked not to use multipart class or any
    other class like that...is there any other
    possibility to do file uploading from jsp to
    servlet...
    Just as an aside, a JSP is a Servlet. But even if I move beyond that, the question does not make sense. If you want a "JSP to upload to a Servlet", then simply do so in memory. You are still (likely) within the same scope of a given request. However, if instead you are referring to a JSP that is displayed on a browser, then really you are talking about HTML, which is what the browser will receive. And since you are now talking about a browser, your only real, viable option is a multi-part file upload. So, it is either server or it is browser. And either way, the question leads to very established options, as outlined above.
    the main concept is.. in the browser the user selects
    a particular file and clicks the button upload..after
    clicking upload the jsp should sent the file to the
    servlet in streams...there the servlet gets in and
    saves in a server location........this is wat i hav
    to do...
    Okay. So, after reading my previous (redundant) paragraph, we have arrived at the crux of the issue. You have a JSP that will be output as HTML to a client (browser) which you want to upload content to your server (handled by a Servlet). So, you are now stuck again with multi-part. The requirement to not use multi-part is non-sensical. You can overcome it, say, if you write your own applet or standalone Swing client. However, if your users are invoking this functionality from a browser, you are limited by the options that W3C has provided you. Use multi-part.
    is there aby possibilty to do this.....can any one
    pls help....Take the advice to download and review Jakarta Commons FileUpload. Inform your management that their requirement makes no technical sense. Research on your own. There are dozens of examples (and tutorials) on file upload using multi-part. Embrace it. Live it. Love it.

  • File uploads using servlets to oracle8i database

    Hi,
    Help please, How I can a File Upload using BLOB's into the oracle database, any sugestions...
    Thanks

    [email protected]

    Try the jason hunter book Java Servlet Programming for a very good description or the web site hosted by o'reilly
    www.servlets.com
    Has a very neat java class for decoding multipart mime encoded files (the upload stream from the browser). Seems to accomodate most of the differing browsers intretation of the standard.
    Note to Oracle: This should really be handled by the servlet engine as an Oracle extension. Where the servlet engine strips the mime encoding out before the servlet is called placing the decoded file in an associated extension call. ie: cast the request to an Oracle request object which has file uploaded method.

  • Add or edit address book using Desktop Manager

    Is there any way that I can add or edit my address book using the Desktop software? I would like to input email addresses and other information into my address book on my blackberry without having to type everything in on the blackberry. I was hoping there would be a way to do that on my PC and have it sync to my phone.

    he following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
    Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
    From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
    Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
    Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
    Highlight the application name and click next button
    Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
    Check the radio button with Two way sync 
    Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
    Example: Synchronize addressbook -
    Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
    Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

  • File uploads using jQuery with jquery.fileupload.js fails in Firefox over SSL

    Please see the link below where I originally posted the question.
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27792614/file-uploads-using-jquery-with-jquery-fileupload-js-fails-in-firefox-over-ssl

    Thanks. In my estimation that is exactly the issue. But that doesn't help with a resolution.
    The actual file size: 945,991 bytes
    If Firefox is miscalculating the length (in Safari/Chrome 945991 and 946241 in Firefox), then Firefox is reporting erroneously and should be raised as a bug in Firefox, would you agree?

  • File Upload using Flex/ColdFusion.  2044 error

    I am looking for a little more clarity around the file upload using Flex and Cold Fusion.  When I run this using my server I get Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
    I did create a regular cfform and had it use my ColdFusion upload form and that worked fine, so I feel good about the upload form. I am starting to think there is a permission error with the Flash Player writing to the folder.  When this is ran, it will show the file being 100% loaded but the complete event is never triggered.  I put alerts to see where it hits and 100 does show at the same time as my error message.  The complete alert never shows.  I also put an alert in my cfm page and it never reaches that page to hit it.  Whether I use an absolute URL or relative path. I have also tried the urlrequestmethod.post and nothing changed.  Thanks in advance.  BTW.  I am using Flex 3.

  • Reliable file upload using JDev, AS and other

    Hello,
    I'm not sure this is the right place to post this message, sorry if I was wrong to put it here.
    The question is our company is developing software, for active data exchange with other systems. We decided to exchange in xml format, by means of both web services and web interface (so that exchange could happen both automatically and on user request). We use JDev to develop, Oracle AS to deploy application. Systems we exchange can use various platforms, in fact, it doesn't matter what exactly they use. The question is we need a reliable way to exchange large (sometimes small, but can be 1Gb or, for example, 10Gb) files, maybe with appropriate security, so that it could continue if something happens with network connection.
    One simple decision is to have a web service that accepts, for example, 100K at a time, and another service continuously calls it until file is transfered. So it can check response code. But are there better decisions? I think, there are libraries or smth like this?
    Thanks in advance, believe, it's a right place to get help.
    Valeriy

    Another, simpler (we think), such package is Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload. It's a servlet filter which can work in front of both servlets and JSP's. The servlet filter parses the uploaded file and stores it temporarily on the servers disk. When the servlet or JSP executes afterwards, it can obtain all the information about the file, from the request attributes. There is a decent manual for HTTP Multipart File Upload on the website.
    Just search for "Jenkov HTTP Multipart" on Google and you'll find it. HTTP Multipart is free, open source, Apache Licsense.

  • File upload using uiXML and Struts

    Hi,
    I am using Struts as my controller component with uiXML for the UI. I need to add file upload functionality to one of my pages. After a bit of trial-and-error, I figured out that the following code in my uiXML sets me in the right direction -
    <struts:form name="myForm" method="post" beanName="myFormBean" usesUpload="true" destination="/try/SaveTry.do">
    When the "destination" attribute is not specified, the Struts action does not get the file. However, with the changes above, the uploaded file now reaches my Struts action, which does the necessary processing and the Struts controller forwards the control to the next page according to its logic.
    However, at this point, I see the following on the browser -

    I tried to specify my own file upload manager (which does nothing) and also tried to subclass the UIXPageBroker to return false in shouldHandleUploadFile() and null in decodeMultipartRequest(), all to no avail.
    Could somebody please let me know if I am missing something? Why is the AbstractPageBroker still kicking in after my file upload has been processed?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Cannot Load Applications Using Desktop Manager

    I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130 (through Verizon) and am running Microsoft XP Professional on the PC. Using the About Blackberry Desktop Manger menu item, I find the Desktop Manager version is 4.3.0.15 (Aug 15 2007), the Device Manager version is 4.3.0.7, the Application Loader version is 4.3.0.13, and the RIM program is 1.0.0.35. The Device Software tab has no software listed, although I have several applications installed.
    The problem is that when I try to load a new application, the loader program always gives an error message that it cannot find any new applications even though I point it to a directory that contains both the *.alx and *.cod files. Luckily, so far i have been able to find over the air installation options but that isn't always going to work.
    I have spent hours on this problem, mostly on the the Blackberry website, but so far have been unable to find anything that worked. I even did a full reinstall of all of the desktop and device software--a full half day job.
    Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Could it be that the desktop manager is generic so as to support all blackberrys but the device software is required for programs that will only work on certain models?
    Yep. The Desktop Manager is designed to be universal between BlackBerry Devices, and as handheld code can change for BlackBerry devices often, the configuration files are not included with releases of just the Desktop Manager. You will need to download the relevant handheld code from your carrier to include it.
    PITA I know, but its the only way it can be reliably done.

  • Using Desktop Manager for managing Evolution Mail-Accounts

    hi there,
    where can i find a documentation that describes how i can manage
    evolution acocunts within Desktop Manager. I just can add an account name
    but i can not define the account specific configuration data such as the
    type of email server (in our case: M$ Exchange and SUN JES Server)
    and based on the type of email server i must add some more or less configuration
    information.
    second question : can i use some variables for those configuration data such as
    $USERNAME to configure the evolution email account using the correct username ?
    the password has to be entered by the user if he/she runs evolution for the first time.
    thanks in advance
    cheers

    Hi Joerg,
    The documentation for the Desktop Manager focuses on the common parts of the operation of the product, the details of the meaning of each setting are more related to the application to which they belong, which is why they don't feature in the general administration manual. You can, however, find more contextual information about the various pages of the Desktop Manager by clicking on the "More" button present on each of these pages, for instance in the case of the Evolution accounts, this would have told you about the fact that the Accounts field is a list of strings containing the XML account description (though I'll grant you that in this particular case, it's a bit on the terse side).
    As for the placeholders, you need to update your Sun Ray server with patch 120454 (120455 depending on your platform) revision 02, so that the GConf adapter which integrates Desktop Manager data into the Gnome configuration handles the placeholder properly. Then you have the possibility of using the special strings "[apoc.<attribute>]" in the configuration settings, which will be replaced when evaluated with the value of <attribute> in the LDAP user entry.
    As an example (which you should adapt to the contents of your LDAP server and the actual definition you want to use for your Evolution accounts), you could for instance use the following XML blob for an Evolution account (I've formated it nicely for display purposes, you will want to paste as a single line into that Accounts list):
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <account name="[apoc.mail]" uid="[apoc.uid]" enabled="true">
         <identity>
             <name>[apoc.cn]</name>
             <addr-spec>[apoc.mail]</addr-spec>
             <reply-to></reply-to>
             <organization></organization>
             <signature auto="false" default="-1"/>
             </identity>
         <source save-passwd="false" keep-on-server="false" auto-check="true" auto-check-timeout="10"/>
         <transport save-passwd="false">
             <url>smtp://[apoc.givenname].[apoc.sn]@[apoc.mailhost]</url>
         </transport>
         <drafts-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Drafts</drafts-folder>
         <sent-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Sent</sent-folder>
         <auto-cc always="false">
             <recipients></recipients>
         </auto-cc>
         <auto-bcc always="false">
             <recipients></recipients>
         </auto-bcc>
         <pgp encrypt-to-self="false" always-trust="false" always-sign="false" no-imip-sign="false">
             <key-id></key-id>
         </pgp>
        <smime encrypt-to-self="false" always-sign="false"/>
    </account>Now to go back to your problem with getting the profiles you've assigned with the Desktop Manager visible on the user's desktop, I can first offer a few remarks on your configuration:
    - you've specified a DN and password for authentication to your LDAP server, I would like to point out that the agent (as opposed to the Desktop Manager itself) will only ever perform read accesses to your LDAP server (to find the user entry, figure out its position in the hierarchy and retrieve the applicable profiles), so you don't need to provide a user with write access, let alone administrative priviledges, as you seem to have done. If your LDAP server setup supports anonymous read access, I would advise you to leave these fields blank in the agent configuration;
    - you've set the ChangeDetectInterval, DaemonChangeDetectInterval, TimeToLive and GarbageCollectionInterval to 1 (minute), which is unnecessary and for some of them probably detrimental to the performance of the agent operation. I can expand if you wish on the meaning of each of these (though I think that's described in the manuals), but I would advise you put back the default values for all of these settings, except maybe the ChangeDetectInterval while you're testing the product (this is the setting used to determine how often the user data is refreshed, i.e how often the changes from the Desktop Manager are propagated to the desktop applications, one minute is fine for testing purposes but you should put it back to its sixty minutes default once the profiles are fairly stable in order to minimise the activity of the agent).
    Please first try and make the above changes to the agent configuration, and check whether the problem you're having is still present. If so, we can look into other potential causes for the problem.
