BlackBerry Desktop Manager encountered a problem

Hi all,
I'm very frustrated at the moment with a BlackBerry Torch 9800 that I have been trying to update the software on for the last week. I have Windows XP SP3 fully patched with BB DTM v 6.1 downloadhe BB UK site. When I plug in the device and click on update all I see is a window that says DTM has encountered a problem and needs to close. The process then aborts.
I am tired of trawling through the forums here and on other website for a solution to this issue, and I'm hoping that I'm not the only one who is encountering this problem.
Does anyone have an official solution to this problem, its very frustrating that RIM are unable to provide a quick and efficient solution to this problem.

I am having the same issue and of course cannot figure out what the heck is the problem. It tells me something is wrong with the device in that it must be a dead battery or not charged which it is...
Someone help!

Blackberry desktop manager error message

When I install my bdm I receive an error message "Blackberry desktop manager has encountered a problem and needs to close". It carries on installing however till the end. When you try to open it, you get the same error message but then it opens up the application. The problem is that it does not detect my phone at all. I have tried every solution that I could find on the message boards - checked the USB ports (it picks up the blackberry and installs the software and charges), it is registered on the wireless network etc., etc. I am no technician so a lot of the answers went way above my head. I tried different versions of desktop manager but with the same result. What am I to do?
The error message that I get when I open up desktop manager is the following:
C\DOCUME~1\ANNELI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\4ef7_appcompat.txt

Try the following:
Make sure your BB is not connected to the computer.
Close the desktop manager.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application data
Delete the entire Intellisync folder.
Connect your BB and open the desktop manager.
Sync your device.

Error when updating Playbook OS version via Blackberry Desktop Manager

Greeting,
I have a batch of old playbooks which having the stack charging issue, but I found that I can update the OS to the newest version (2.1.0.1917) via Blackberry Desktop Manager, then the charging algorithm will be changed to the updated one and go over this dead battery issue. I was able to do so successfully in the past week smoothly on several devices.
But since this Monday, the Desktop Manager is saying "An updated Blackberry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue" when downloading the Desktop software and will appear "There was an error updating your software, an error has occurred while downloading the Blackberry Desktop Software.Please try again." and preventing the process. Seems there are some change on the server side starting this week which has caused this problem, but there's no error code to locate the exact issue.
I tried on 2 different computers as well as completed uninstalling and re-installing the Desktop manager, also tried to disable the automatic update as been advised in some threads. So no clue how to deal with it for now. It will be highly appreciate if some one can share some idea.
I've attached the step by step screenshots for reference, where you can find here:

Sorry I can not help you with your problem but perhaps you can help me.
Can you advise where I can find info on "disable the automatic update"?
just ignore the update if you dont want it on the playbook
for reloading the OS
First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

Blackberry desktop manager wont detect blackberry

i have looked everywhere for a solution to my problem and i simply cannot find a fix. my blackberry curve 8520 wont connect to my desktop manager. i have tried everything i could think of however nothing has proven successful.
here is what i have so far done:
-reinstalled desktop manager
-installed latest update for desktop manager
-installed drivers for blackberry
-checked usb cable and ports
-made sure desktop manager was set to usb
-pulled the battery on the blackberry (power cycled)
-restarted my computer
i believe this is everythign i have currently tried, i am running 64x ultimate windows 7 and my computer does recognise that a blackberry is put in as everytime i do so a ballon at the bottom om my screen says a blackberry has been detected and gives it a drive name and such. it is also charging which ensures enough power is being delievered to the blackberry. i do not have another computer to try the desktop manager on. if anyone has a fix to this issue please respond asap as help would be very much appreciated.

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

New BlackBerry Desktop Manager software for Mac

Let me know if there is a better "BlackBerry" forum to ask these questions -- but just wondering if this software will backup Address Book on my Mac to my BlackBerry without erasing everything I've already entered into the Blackberry by hand the past 2 years...
...also we have the Enterprise (corporate account) BlackBerry license (BB 8820) - if I use the newly released BlackBerry Desktop Manager software will that make a real mess of things or is it compatible.
Thanks for any comments or references to other forums or such. I come here because everything I've done with computers since 1989 is MAC - and this is a great discussion site-- and yet my latest job is using BB's... (and most others are on PC's...)

As far as screwing things up, mine went fine. There were some comments about problems. If you go to crackberry. com, there is a Mac users area, under Forums/Blackberry Operating Systems and Desktop Managent.

SOLVED: BlackBerry Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working

Good morning.
Let me start off by saying I have a Dell laptop runing Vista 64 bit with 4 gig ram. I have Desktop Manager v 4.7 installed and has been working great synching my Outlook calender and my Blackberry.
Starting about a week ago, the synch process gets all the way to the end and I get a message saying:

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found this on another site:
1.) Start the Desktop Manager software
2.) Connect the blackberry using USB Connector
3.) Select "back-up and restore"
4.) Select "advanced"
5.) Look at the list of information showing in the "device memory" window on your computer
6.) Select "calender all" and DELETE it
7.) Go back to the main screen and syncronize.
8.) Everything should work fine!
In essence it was a corrupt calendar data file on the Blackberry device, apparently.

Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this.
More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

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.
