Blackberry Curve alarm does not go off because voice dialing is trying to connect

Someone please help me. I have set my alarm with a custom ring tone and escalating, but it has not worked the last three days, where it had for the previous two weeks. I have not changed any settings, so I am not sure what could have possibly happened. Each day I wake up, thank God I have a backup alarm clock, and check my phone in the other room on the charger. It is stuck on the voice dialing activation screen, which is very odd because I have voice dialing disabled. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong and how to fix it? I would much rather wake up to the ring tone that I have chosen as opposed to a regular (and obnoxious) alarm clock. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a software fault.
You need to download the latest version for your device from the carrier the phone was sold with.
Save the folder to your desktop, double click it to install it your computer. (can take 40 mins to download)
Then you connect up the blackberry and using the program called application loader,(which is built into the desktop manager program that came on the cd) push the new software to the device. Ensure when you see an 'advanced' box, you click into it, to check both check boxes to remove all current installed software.
Here is a list of software carrier sites:

And Also
Use BlackBerry Application Loader to install BlackBerry Device Software
Good Luck and let us know how you go..
9/10 times this is a software fault.
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

Blackberry Curve 8330 - Does not show in call timer anymore?

Hi,
Either I am completely losing my mind, or this feature has disappeared. I used to be able to see, on the current call screen, a timer that showed the length of the current call. Now it does not show?
Any help would be appreciated!

I am having the exact same problem, with my Blackberry Curve - I was starting to think I was going crazy, because I am very certain that the current call time *used to* display on the screen, during the call. And now, it's not there anymore!
After checking all of the options settings in the phone and finding nothing to enable or disable this feature, I decided to call Verizon - who was clueless - they suggested that I restore my phone and re-install the OS. I've already checked the user guide, which has no mention of this feature (in either software version, v.4.2.2 or v.5.0)
** However, I will agree that this problem started when I had upgraded to v.5.0. **
I am also surprised that more folks have not taken notice of this - anyone out there with a solution please post it here!
Thanks

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

Alarm does not sound off through speakers

The alarm sounds off through the speakers when I select the type of sound to produce. However when it goes off after the time is up it only sounds off through the head phones. This is my first iPod; is this typical?
Otherwise have to say that the Touch has made me a fan.
Cheers.

Hello,
I cant recall how it resolved but its seems to have done so on its own. I think that someone said to try to plug and unplug the earbuds. Maybe the connection on the inside just had to physically disengage to engage the speaker. The unit was relatively new when the problem presented and perhaps it was indeed a mechanical issue with the leads remaining in the closed position after withdrawing the ear buds.
Good luck,
T

Blackberry Desktop Manager does not show Media Manager

First, let me say I am a NEW Blackberry user, my hubby and I both got new Blackberry Curves 8310 recently.
   When I installed the disc that came with the phone, the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not have the "Media Manager" as one of the choices, as was shown on all of the booklets and tutorials. I even re-installed the program, thinking maybe it didn't download completely the first time, but it still comes up showing only these 4:
         Synchronize, Backup & Restore, Application Loader, and Switch Device Wizard.......
All of the directions I've received show that I can easily add pictures and music simply by clicking on Media Manager, but it just isn't there.
Here is info about the installation disk that we received with our phones, supposedly the correct and latest versions . . ..
Blackberry Desktop Manager
version 4.3.0.17 (Nov.12 2007)
Device Communications      Blackberry Device mgr....4.3.0.7
                                         BBDevMgr   ................4.0.0.1
                                         RIM USB Driver.............4.0.0.2
                                         RIM USB Serial Driver.......2.1.0.4
Application Loader          Application Loader ..........4.3.0.13
                                     RIMProgram .....................1.0.0.35
Seriously, none of these really means a whole lot to me, I just want to click on something and have it work . . . I did try to "upgrade" to a newer version, and I got the message that the version I had was the newer one, so now what?
I have memory cards inserted in the phone(s).
I will appreciate any help with this, I'm really frustrated. I figured out how to move files manually, but I don't understand why it isn't showing up as illustrated in the instruction manuals and online tutorials.
Solved!

When I try to add my BlackBerry using Bluetooth the BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize it. I have ensured that my BlackBerry is in Listen mode but it won't connect. I know the Bluetooth support on my BlackBerry Storm is working (9550) because it does recognize my laptop.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Blackberry curve 8520 is not working/rebooting

since last week my blackberry curve 8520 is shut down and not rebooting, I have tried many time but when reboot it an error # 523 accour and set goes held, pls help me that How I can start it

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
Just select the appropriate device model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php

My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off...

Moderators, I really need your help.
My Blackberry Curve 8520 Keeps Shutting Itself Off after my power supply got damaged (the cord was cut open and the two small cables were touching each other causing it to spark a little). Now I turn it on and just 5 to 10 seconds later it shuts itself off everytime. The media card is damaged too. Last night I charged its batteries and 5 minutes ago it was already drained. I dont want to lose my contacts, notes or BBM contacts.
Please at least help me diagnose the problem.

Hi dalstongirl
Have you already sent your BlackBerry in for service? If not, I would advise checking for any software updates by plugging in your BlackBerry to your PC and going to www.blackberry.com/update
Thanks

At what point does it stop you from reading your messages? Will the application launch but you are not able to pull up any conversations?
I am not one of those trained people, I'm a user like everybody else but I've gained a lot of technical knowledge through use and research. Sorry to disappoint.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

My blackberry curve 8520 is not turning on it shows a red light

My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on it shows a red light flashes 2x then my keypad lights an thats it nuthing else happens please help me i havent got a usb cable so cant use blackberry desktop manager

Hello Hasanm52,
Welcome to the community!
Seems OS is corrupt, so you have to arrange a USB cable to connect your devci with the pc.
Procedure to install OS:
1.) Download and install blackberry device software of Blackberry 8520 from www.blackberry.com.
2.) Install it in your PC & connect your device with PC.
3.) Access path c:\prog. files\Common files\ Reasearch in motion\ App loader\ now dowble click on loader.exe
4.) Further procedure i very user friendly, so please follow steps (may take approx 90 mins).
5.) In between, it will prompt you to take backup as well, so do take care while clik next or continue.
Good luck..!!!
Before doing above activity you may try
By pulling out battery & connect device with charger without inserting battery & wait for 5 to 10 mins.
Itwill prompt you a no battery sign on your handheld, once you get the sign on your handheld, insert battery without un plugging charger 7 wait for another 5 to 10 mins. Hope this will work for you....
otherwise you have to perform the first procedure, i mentioned...
Thanks....!!

My imac does not turn off !

My imac does not turn off ! Since i bought the imac ( february ) i had this issue
I have called aplle support and During 2 months nothing changed ! I rebbot, i cleaned the cache i mean this
Is the way apple slove issue. ? My imac does not turn off ! I have to turn it off by myself ! ( hold the power button )
Everytime !
They told me " this is because of the app you are using !" come i have adobe master cs6 and i told them
It was before i install these apps.
I would like some help ! And suggestions. I will return my imac and hope to have the new one because
Since i bought i can not enjoy the Apple product.
Thank you

Have you done the safe boot mentioned above?
Can you click on the apple on the left of the menu bar? Did you try Paul_31's advice to choose force quit to see if there are any applications that are not responding?
I tend to agree that it may be time to take it to an Apple service center for hands-on attention.
Apple normally doesn't replace a machine with a new one unless they have been unable to repair an issues(s) after several tries.

My Mac Pro does not switch off.

It worked before Lion. Installed 10.7 and also upgraded to 10.7.1 but, on both cases, it does not switch-off. To be precise it "sometimes" switch-off but many times it does not. Let's say once on 15 times... With Leopard I nevere had this problem. (it persists also after a PRAM reset). I also run a second problem but only once and only upgrading to 10.7.1 (not to 10.7). It says that my RAM was on wrong position.. I had to remove and install the RAM again and it worked.
Any other case like this? (This append only on my MacPro - early 2009. On my MacBook and my MacBook Pro OSX Lion works fine).

Is there a pattern to the chimes, or are they simply random, as if the Mac is repeatedly rebooting on its own?
Have you tried a "Safe Boot"? Press and hold a Shift key as you power up the Mac. Does it start then?
If it starts at all "Safe Boot" will take much longer than usual, that's normal. Shutting down will take longer also. Try it.
