Blackberry desktop software 7 is a waste of time - disappoint​ing!!!

I wish I had not accepted the option to update my desptop software from v6 to v7. I have since been unable to synchronize and have been through the re-installation process several times without success. The software kept looking for 'Blackberry desktop software.msi' under c:\Windows\installer\ folder. I am now fed up!! What a waste of time, this is not good for business.
Can any tell me where I can get the most up-to-date version 6 from a BB site? I would like to revert back to a working software.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software freezes at message "Action Engine Loading Configurat​ion"

    I have Windows 7 Professional. My Outlook profile is saved on an Exchange server and my Blackberry had previously beeng syncing with Outlook in this setup for nearly a year without issue. 
    Recently, the desktop software freezes at "Action engine loading configuration" message and is unrecoverable. I have tried the following things to rectify the situation:
    1) Adjust the organizer settings not to sync anything except the date & time. Still happens
    2) Delete all data from the device using Desktop Software and try to resync. Same problem
    3) Uninstall and reinstall Blackberry Desktop Software and try to sync with both the original set of data and the empty, deleted data Blackberry. Same problem.
    4) Tried wiping the blackberry completely using JL Cmdr, reinstalling the OS. In this scenario I can sync Addresses but once I sync Calendar the problems happens again and I am unable to ever sync it again (Including thereafter when de-selecting the Calendar option. 
    At this point I have spent hours scouring Google for help and trying the above items. This has been disastrous for me as I rely on the sync'd data for work and have already starting missing things. 
    I don't believe there is anything wrong with the Blackberry, as it works fine and works perfectly well after re-loading a fresh, OS, etc. 
    I have tried playing with the support logs but because the software freezes before calendar can sync, nothing is in the log that states if there is a corrupt record in calender causing this. Nothing dramatically changes in my calendar between the day that syncing worked and the day it didnt.
    I've tried searching the Blackberry forums and have found some info but nothing helpful. RIM does not provide support telephone numbers and AT&T support has continuously demonstrated itself as worthless over my time with them. 
    Is there any resources left at all that I could try to get past this issue, not waste any more time, and be able to resolve the issue?
    Thank you for reading and for any input you are willing to offer.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had a Dell PalmPilot type device in 2003 that sync'd contnously with my computer using ActiveSync. I didn't ever have to click Sync, I would make a change on either device and they would sync. 
    The fact that it is 2011 and we still work with Desktop Manager, the biggest piece of **bleep** software I still have to use, is simply pathetic. 

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close

    When I try to open Blackberry Desktop the message I get is that Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close.  I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and as a result I cannot sync.  Does this mean I need to uninstall and reinstall?  If I reinstall will I lose the update that I have on my phone that has changed the interface?  Will I have to reinstall that as well?
    Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.

    It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
    Also, for XP users, please be sure you are on SP3...that is the current minimum level required with the latest Desktop Software.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software will not Sync with Outlook

    Hello,
    I recently installed Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1 for Windows on a PC and it will not allow me to sync with outlook calendar, memos and contacts.  It will however sync windows Contacts, if I try to select the option to sync with calendar or memos it gives me an error that now compatible software can be found and to visit blackberry.com/desktop/docs.  I am running Outlook 2010 32bit in Windows 7 with the latest Blackberry desktop software.  I am not to familiar with Blackberry so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I believe I have figured out the answer to my own question, I ended up having to do a repair installation for Office 2010 and I was able to sync from outlook to the Blackberry.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop...

    I have a Tour 9630 and just installed v6.0 and receiving an error window "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem as caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I have not received any message from Windows after 2 days.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so, I would appreciate any guidance.  I have Windows 7, if that matters. Thank you. in advance.

    Hi somewhatstock
    How far did you get with them? Did they have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Trying to work on it myself, so trying to eliminate what others might have tried. Curious why it works on my Desktop however. Losing tethering really causes problems as I rely on tethering with my laptop quite a lot.  
    Any information most welcome,
    regards,
    John

  • BlackBerry Desktop Software Is their a download for Mac desktop Os 10.5.8

    Hi
    I was wondering if their is an archive within Blackberry where I could download a BlackBerry Desktop Software for my mac. I am useing 10.5.8, the new version is for 10.6 or higher.
    Regards
    Vintage Tec head 8088

    This subject has been discussed on the forum already.
    No earlier versions of the MAC desktop software for reasons unknown to us.
    Indeed PC versions can be retrieved somewhere, I guess, but not for the Mac.
    Only a possible reader of this forum could offer you his file if still an older version in his archive folders or something similar.
    Fingers crossed
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

  • Blackberry Desktop Software V6.0.2

    I just recently joined the RIM Blackberry family. I've installed the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software, but am having trouble loading the program.
    I get a Windows error report...
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Does anyone know what issues the program could be having? I've downloaded the program multiple times, re-installed, repaired, and tried to contact Blackberry. I'm incredibly frustrated. Anyone else having this issue, and possibly knows how to fix this?

    OK I FIND SOLUTION FROM FIRST TIME. I was in January already registered under nick name HONGKONG
    and here is solution what work first time. But now after DMupdate again DONT WORK.
    I had all the same problems as everyone else on this thread, but it was just as simple as renaming Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll.old and then back to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll it worked.
    The file is located in:
    C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Modules\
    I can only say RIM, I never buy again BB units. Bye [keep it courteous please].

  • Unable to load Blackberry Desktop software windows 7 64-bit

    I am currently running Windows 7 64-bit SP1. I have tried to installed Blackberry Desktop software using 710_b042_multilanguage.exe from your site.
    Software appears to install without any problem. When I try to start up the software the blackberry splash screen appears without any issue. However after a short while a transparant window appears with Blackberry Desktop Software  on the title bar. I have Java 7.45.
    Any ideas why it doesnt appear to be loading correctly?

  • Windows XP gives message "BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close." when trying to start Desktop Manager

    I apologize if this issue has already been handled in others' posts; I just can't locate my specific issue, and I'm a newbie with this.
    I first encountered the Windows crash shown in subject yesterday when trying to sync my Blackberry. Message is displayed after the program churns for awhile, but hasn't even detected a remote device or shown that it is doing any work.
    I vaguely recall agreeing to an update a few days back.  Perhaps Windows has updated recently as well? 
    I have uninstalled and installed most recent Desktop version several times, rebooting in between.  I have tried installing original version as well - Desktop at least starts then, but bombs before syncing anything.  I also have rolled back my Windows system to before last Windows update.
    Here is the error message that I believe is associated with this problem:
    Sunday, December 26, 2010

    I finally solved my problem with blackberry desktop manager 6.0.1 by going bck to 6.0 version and here is how I did it, since the 6.0 version is not available on blackberry's website or on a disk and I have spent over 30 hours with BB tech support all to no avail in fixing 6.0.1 and enabling it to open.
    1) Removed any Blackberry desktop software from my computer via the  add/remove program in the control panel.  No need to deal with a clean uninstall in terms of registry cleaner, etc.
    2) Installed 6.0 which i was lucky enough to have backed up the intallation files from several months ago when I backed up my entire system to an external drive. 
    3) Opened BB desktop mananager and connected my device and configured my sysn with outlook and all worked out. 
    If anyone needs BB Desktop Manager 6.0 to go back to a version that once worked for you, please let me know and I will email it to you via yousendit.com since it is a 95mb file.

  • Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

    Hello All,
    Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11?  Or something equivalent?
    I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now.  The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
    Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
    Thank you.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Request Option to Disable Software from Loading During Start-Up

    After Blackberry Desktop Software automatic updates. Software become part of Start-Up option or menu. I do not want Blackberry Desktop Software to automatically load during Start-Up. The Desktop Software does not have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. Am writing you to add this feature to your desktop software. I've just completed loading v5.0.1 and again I need to hunt and peck a way through windows to delete this software from loading during start-up. This software needs to have a user friendly option to disable the desktop software from loading during start-up. When I loaded v4.x.x when I bought my blackberry your set-up wizard had this disable option, but all your subsequent software upgrades change my windows start-up to load blackberry desktop manager software. Please add this feature to your software.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software crashes on startup

    I am running Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac through Boot Camp.  I have only recently had this issue and cannot resolve it.  I have Blackberry Desktop Software installed on my Mac as well and it runs fine, but I also need it for the Windows side because my company runs Lotus Notes and they subscribe to Blackberry Enterprise Server, so I need to routinely sync my phone with my Lotus Notes Contacts and calendar.
    Here is what I receive:
    "Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    The actually "error report contents" are very long.  The strange thin g is that under "error report contants" it shows the "system info" as Windows NT build 5.1, very strange

    Same situation, same problem. ?? I only tried to use my Parallels windows instal becaue my mac version desktop software refused to delete applications or update. What is up with Blackberry and macs?

  • Blackberry desktop software

    i downloaded the latest version of blackberry desktop software.   as far as i know everything went ok,
    however i clicked on the icon on my desktop because i wanted to update my bb,  and i couldnt go any further because the blackberry desktop software sign came up then i got the following message;
     Blackberry desktop software has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    ive installed the latest version twice   first time was because i got notified,  second time was because i uninstalled the program and downloaded it again.
    i am very upset because i want to see my bb  needs any updates

    Try doing a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software as shown here: http://bbry.lv/acVRkU Then reinstall. Make sure you are installing it in a Windows User Account with admin privileges.
