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!

Blackberry Desktop Manager wont start

I am SOOOO frustrated.
I have installed the BB Desktop Manager software (never installed or used it before) and it has downloaded fine but it just wont open!! No errors, just nothing. Am getting really frustrated.
Any ideas?

I am not sure I understand - are these instructions you have seen/been given?
What is the context for your post? I have an issue with DM 6.02 and Windows 7 which is that DM just won't start, the only workaround I have found is to downgrade to 5.0.1 which is not ideal but does seem to work. It worked fine on XP but when I switched to Windows 7 it installed fine but then would not start up.

Installing Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

Hi,
I'm trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.0 Sp1 software
onto a few PC's.
Once I've customised the setup.ini file and run "setup.exe /s" from the
local drive (or network drive), the program setup installs the software
correctly.
However, when creating a Zen App object and inserting the following in
the "Run Options" tab, all I get is the MSIEXEC options screen (same as
running msiexec.exe /?)
Path to File:
C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\Blackberry_DM_4.0Sp1.exe /s
Working Directory: C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\
Any idea why the setup works when executing from Windows Explorer, but
fails when executing from Zen App objects?
Thanks for the input...

Hi Anders,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I definitely selected the option "A Simple Application (No
..AOT/.AXT.MSI file)"
It's worth mentioning that the setup.exe file calls an MSI file called
"BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi".
That appears to be done via the setup.ini file. See below.

I cannot install my downloaded Blackberry Desktop manager.

I have deleted all former Manager downloads, emptied my recycle bin, and cleared my browser cache and tried downloading again. It still would not install. Error Message: "tHIS INSTALLATION BACKAGE COULD NOT BE OPENED. vERIFY THAT THE PACKAGE EXIXTS AND THAT YOU CAN ACCESS IT, OR CONTACT THE APLLICATION VENDOR TO VERIFY THAT ITHIS IS A VALID WINDOWS iNSTALLER PACKAGE"

BlackBerry Desktop Manager on Mac OS 10.4.11

Hi all,
I'm installing BlackBerry Desktop Manager for my MacBook (OS 10.4.11). However, the software requires at least 10.5.5 and I tried installing it with no success. It says it "requires OS 10.5". Does it mean I have to install 10.5.1 first and then install 10.5.5?
Basically, my question is we CANNOT skip version and install 10.5.8 (which is the latest) on, say, my 10.4.11?

Hello nrugkhapan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Does it mean I have to install 10.5.1 first and then install 10.5.5?
That means you must purchase & install Leopard/10.5.x, which is freely upgradable to as far as 10.5.8, but you'll likely have to call Apple to get a cpy,since they no longer list it for sale on their site.

Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing. Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar". How do I fix this? I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program. Help

I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting: Mac OS, device, device OS...
Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC). The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be. Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL? You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
Now do you have more than one calendar? In the DM how are you setting the sync? Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device? Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device? Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

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.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally resolved this myself by editing the registry and removing all references to Sprint and Roxio. I then reinstalled the Blackberry desktop software v 4.7, rebooted and installed Sprint SmartView. It now works. The key for me was editing the registry to remove previously installed versons of the software.

Lost my Blackberry and want to access data in Blackberry Desktop Manager

I lost my Blackberry. I have data backed up in Blackberry Desktop Manager but not in Outlook, Google Mail or any other application. Can I get the data out of Desktop Manager and into one of these other applications without having my old (or a new) Blackberry?

Is device software installed when desktop manager is installed?

If I use the BlackBerry User Tools CD that is supplied with a new BlackBerry device (81x0, 83x0, 9000 etc) to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager will it automatically install the relevant device software at the same time?
If not do I have to go to my service provider and download the latest available device software and install it separately?
Thanks
Matthew

Hi and welcome to the forums!
The desktop software that you installed does not have the device software loaded.
You are correct go to your carriers website and download the latest OS for your exact
model phone. Select the file and save it to a directory on the PC, rather than run it from
the site. I use a directory c:\downloads. Then execute the file from there. It will place
the device OS in the proper directory for the desktop software to recognize it.
You can down load the detailed manual for your desktop software from the link attached.
