BB Desktop Manager crashes trying to sync BB 8900 T-Mobile

I work with the tech support for my company's IT department. We are tasked with providing support for any technical issue our users encounter. I am working with one user who is having issues with his BB Desktop Manager crashing out with a generic error whenever he tries to do a sync. Here are some of his details...
He was using BB Desktop Manager 4.3 I think and had a previous model blackberry device. Our organization uses Lotus Notes. He was previously syncing the email with Lotus and the Contacts and Calendar with Outlook. He upgraded phones to the BB 8900 (he is on T-Mobile) and upgraded his BB Desktop Manager to v4.6. When he first ran the setup, he did not tell it to sync the Lotus organizer data. He performed one sync, but nothing came over at all. He then went in and checked the LOTUS ORGANIZER data, but every time he tries to Sync, the BB Desktop Manager sits there for about 45 seconds, then it just closes with a generic error referencing the BlackberryDesktopManager.exe.
When that happens, we can open the Desktop Manager, but the PIN connection shows NONE until he actually unplugs and re-plugs in the phone.
If we try to go into the SYNCHRONIZE section and then hit the button that would normally show the sync settings, we get the same exact type of crash (but it happens almost immediately instead of waiting 45 seconds).
Here is what we have tried to do to fix it. We have completely removed and re-installed the BB Desktop Manager (but we have tried v4.5 and v4.7.) Each time we are uninstalling the software, I made sure to REMOVE USER FILES and then I am also going into the PROGRAM FILES folder and deleting the RESEARCH IN MOTION folder so it shouldn't be keeping any of the files from that folder. We also tried wiping the phone (three times) - twice by putting the PIN in wrong 10 times, and then once by calling T-Mobile and having them walk him through doing it on the phone itself.
We still have the same exact crash at the same exact places on all versions of this software for this model phone. If he had another computer to try it on (that also has Lotus) I would have him try to setup the phone on another PC. Since the phone has been wiped many times, I am thinking its something on the PC thats causing the crash, but I am not sure where to go or what to check next.
We have worked with this guy for a total of over 12 or 13 hours, and we have no idea what to try next. This is baffling many of our technicians trying to figure this out for him.
Does anyone have any clue why it may be doing this, or have any ideas what I can check next? Are there any logs I can collect or upload that may help identify whats going on?
Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

Desktop Manager crashes trying to synch

I have a Curve, desktop manager 4.7, vista 32 bit, outlook 2007. When I try to synch, I get the "Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close" error. I have done everythig is KB10340, deleted intellisync folders etc. When you delete the database files it will sync twice. After that, it crashes again. If you delete the dayabase files again, you can sync twice again.
I can't find any other help on their website. Any ideas out there?

Still looking for help on this topic!
This is a very serious issue for me and I really need some help fixing it asap.
Please and thank you!

BB 9700 - Desktop Manager Crashing when Sync'ing Address Book

Hi all,
At work, we use Novell Groupwise. Calendar syncs fine, but BB Desktop Manager crashes when I sync addresses. I can load one-way from the computer to the BB, but not the other way. I may have a corrupt address, but haven't been able to get it all to work. What do I do to stop this?
thanks
Rowdy

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
First, make sure that the version of GroupWise you are using is compatible with the version of the RIM DTM software that you are using:
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
Assuming it is so, then the next steps will depend on the error messages when it "crashes". If you have any text of that, you can try searching for it in the public KBs:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
You also can activate advanced synchronization logging to see if the log provides you with any better information:
KB01451 How to turn on advanced synchronization logging if a wired synchronization fails
Good luck and let us know!

Desktop Manager shuts down when syncing Outlook 2007 calendar

Hey,
I've had my Curve for about 6 months, and now the desktop manager shuts down when syncing the calendar. It gets throught the address book and then I get a message that an error has occurred and it must shut down. I sync with an Outlook 2003/XP on my work computer and have no problems, but my home computer runs Outlook 2007/Vista. I'd love some help figuring out this issue. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

next thing to try is start-run-msconfig
click on STARTUP tab, and disable all
restart PC, and try again

Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply yancy.
What error message are you receiving? Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?
To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device. Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
I look forward to your reply.

Have looked through forum and not seen a fix that seems obvious to fix this. Any help would be greatful!

***** seems I had a corrupted old calendar entry - after archiving all old entries, the sync now works *******

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 crashes with "unknown error" message before sync starts

I have the latest phone software, the very latest version of the desktop software and I can't get the sync to get past the initialization stage before it crashes. I've read some of the other posts about changing the synch settings but I can't even get to the settings options before it crashes. I've uninstalled the desktop software and reinstalled it (both with and without the media manager add on). I've done a battery pull on the phone itself. I've even done a restore of the last good backup of the phone.
Is it just me or does this house of cards seem to collapse every time there's an update to either the desktop software or the phone software?

If you have reinstalled the software without using the clean removal procedure I recommend you
use the procedure and the install the desktop manager again. The procedure cleans the registry and
completely strips all directories etc. This will save you headaches in the long run.
Use the first procedure to check the possible causes of the "unknown error".
Is it just me or does this house of cards seem to collapse every time there's an update to either the desktop software or the phone software?
Most posts I see regarding any new desktop manager are installation and setup errors by far.
The other posts mainly are Windows OS programs that aren't updated or unique to a specific PC setup.
House of cards? I don't think there are enough cards for a double deck pinochle game.

Desktop Manager Crashes During Sync Phase with Notes Calendar

Hello All,
My Destop Software continually crashes at the point of Syncing with Lotus Notes Calendar. Every other part of Syncing with Notes works fine and sometimes I get a partial Sync with the Calendar, but consistently every time it crashes during this part of the process and then I get the Windows error window saying the software has encountered a problem and needs to close. Here are some other facts to help.
I am running V4.7 of the Destop Manager, latest downloaded from this web site.
PC is Win XP Proffesional, 2002 SP2. 3Gb RAM Duo Core 2GH
I have uninstalled/re-installed the Desktop Manager twice
I get other C Runtime errors with Device Manager on a random basis.
I have a BB Storm.
Anything else?
I have emailed the BlackBerry Support but seems to be a Black Hole with no response despite prompting them several times since putting in the email. I am a relatively educated PC user, My laptop is near new, I have many simple and sohpisticated applications installed with a (other than the BB Desptop application) very clean, well maintained and error free operating environment. This is a very disappointing BB first time experience.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
What version of Lotus notes would that be?
Is this is this server based, an island, or standalone Lotus notes?
Are you setup as BES or BIS?
Thanks,

Blackberry Desktop Manager crashes on connect of Tour on Vista 64-Bit

Hi,
I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit with my Blackberry Tour 9630. I've been using the phone for a while, syncing it with no problem to my PC. Recently I connected it and once Blackberry Desktop Manager recognizes the phone, it takes a couple of seconds and then crashes.
I retrieved the following from the Event Viewer.
Faulting application DesktopMgr.exe, version 5.0.1.18, time stamp 0x4a8f1751, faulting module DesktopMgr.exe, version 5.0.1.18, time stamp 0x4a8f1751, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000e6535, process id 0x166c, application start time 0x01ca6994947f0712.
I've tried uninstalling Desktop Manager entirely (as well as removing registry entry keys), reinstalling it again, deleting out the whole Intellisync folder, etc. all to no avail.
What else can I do?
Thank you.

Desktop Manager will no longer sync my address book!

I have had a 3G Curve for about 3 months and I originally was able to sync my MS Outlook calendar, tasks and contact lists at work (Windows XP & MS Outlook 2003 then 2007) and at home (Windows Vista and MS Outlook 2003). About 3 weeks ago I stopped being able to do this. When I sync at work it just stops after syncing calendar and tasks. At home it says Address Book (not installed). I have uninstalled Desktop manager at home and at work and I get the same thing with a reinstall.
I am at work and I just tried unclicking contacts in my email settings screen. My phone says wireless synchronization is unavailable, so that isn't fixing it either! I saw both these tips on prior posts on this site.
I am headed home now and hopefully when I log back in someone will have told me how to fix this problem. I have a Blackberry so I can sync my Outlook calendar, contact list and set up and send group texts. I am very frustrated with this issue now.
Hopefully there is help for me!

Sorry about the mistake in where this posted...I"m new to the board and trying to figure out how it all works. L

Desktop Manager crashes upon connection

Just installed BB Desktop Manager 5.0, after removing the previous installation using the "clean uninstall" process suggested elsewhere on this Board (i.e. eliminating RIM and Puma entries in the registry).
v 5.0 is syncing with my BB 8830 just fine in my laptop computer (Vista OS); the problem is with my desktop (XP SP3 OS), which I'd also like to sync with the 8830. As soon as I plug in the BB to the desktop computer, the screen freezes and I receive an error message that says the Deskrop Manager has encountered a problem and must close. By clicking on "click here" (for details), I get an error message that says the following:
Error signature
EventType: BEX P1: DesktopMgr.exe   P2: 5.0.0.11 P3: 4a4bd539
P4: Synchronize.dll P5: 5.0.0.11   P6: 4a4bd6eb   P7: 00051ef7
P8: c0000409   P9: 00000000
Then, by clicking on a "click here" link the the Error signature box, I get an Error Report contents box that says:
C:\DOCUME~1\DAVIDM~1\LOCALS~1TEMP\WER7785.dir00\DesktopMgrexe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\DAVIDM~1\LOCALS~1TEMP\WER7785.dir00\appcompat.txt
I've tried everything I can think of and I'm totally stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi
I am having exactly the same problems
When I connect my BB Storm it asks if I want to backup/restore to automatically back up my device if I click "yes" then the program immediately closes down
If I click "no" then synchronisation starts but almost immediately freezes then tells me:
"BlackBerry Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
The error signature is:
EventType : BEX     P1 : DesktopMgr.exe     P2 : 5.0.0.11     P3 : 4a4bd539P4 : Synchronize.dll     P5 : 5.0.0.11     P6 : 4a4bd6eb     P7 : 00051ef7     P8 : c0000409     P9 : 00000000
and included in the error report is:

I have tried an uninstall and reinstall and am drawing a blank, please help

Desktop Manager crashes when opening backup file with critical information

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.

Desktop Manager crashes on Vista

I have a client running Desktop Manager 4.7 on Vista Home Premium, synchronizing Outlook 2007 with his Curve. The sync. process consistently fails on the Calendar step, after it has gone through all the entries.
I found this thread:
http://forums.pinstack.com/showthread.php?t=65191
Following the instructions in the second post re. running scanpst.exe then reinstalling the Desktop Manager had some success. The scan found a number of errors which it repaired; I then uninstalled the DM and reinstalled it as administrator and ran the sync. step. The first time I ran it, it worked; however, trying it for a second time threw up the same uninformative error (the application has a problem and is now closing).
From what I can see, many users seem to be having this problem, with varying degrees of success resolving it. The client has had the device for 6 months or so, and it worked OK until last week. Ant idea/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Des
