So i did. I'd already backed up the playbook the day before so it was ok when the small windows said, "all data would be remove and playbook would return to factory settings". I did all the procedures and the blackberry desktop software still wont connect to the playbook. I tried uninstalling the blackberry desktop software and re-installing it, but the same thing keep on showing up. So i cant access my playbook.

"The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time.
After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
What should I do next?

I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference.
Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

i have read around but no solutions. please help as am desperate

Hello,
Please check carefully these instructions, most importantly the part about deleting VENDOR.XML file(s).
1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Now, use this process:

"There is no BlackBerry® Software available."
Most often, that message is the result of one (or more) of the following:
There is no BB OS package installed to the PC, and there is nothing available from the carrier (as represented by the VendorID hardcoded into the device)
There is a BB OS package installed to the PC, but it is from a different (per VendorID) carrier, and the VENDOR.XML file(s) have not been deleted (which causes the installed package to be ignored)
There is more than one BB OS package installed to the PC...which can confuse the Loader tool
Good luck!

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,

Why do the connected devices to the router have the smae IPV6 address?

Hi,
Now I meet the issue
The operation steps on router (WRVS4400N):
1.Set the IP mode as Dual-stack IP and then save
2.Disable the IPV4 DHCP server
3.Use other deivces to connect the router.
The connected devices have the same IP address(2005:123:456:789::1),I am confused,why is it?
please help.
Thanks!

Hello,
The WRVS4400N is in fact assigning IPv6 addresses to all the devices connected to it, but the WRVS4400N does not show a table with the IPv6 addresses assigned to each device connected, it only shows the IPv4 addresses and the respective MAC address for each device. The IPv6 of the WRVS4400N is an aggregetable global unicast IPv6 address (See the image below)
If you go to Setup > LAN you will see that you cannot modify the prefix of the IPv6 address, all you can modify is the postifx and prefix length field (As you can see in the image below).
For more information about these fields and general IPv6 configuration, please refer to the article IPv6 Configuration on WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Routers
The only way you have to see the IPv6 address assigned to each device connected to the WRVS4400N is to check on each device the IPv6 address assigned. The WRVS4400N does not provide this information. You can see from the below picture the IPv6 address assigned to my computer. As you can see, the WRVS4400N assign the the computer the prefix 2002:c0a8::/6. Then you can see the actual IPv6 address which is 2002:c0a8:0:b182:e6a:9b0e:cdcf.
As you can see, the initial part (The prefix) remains the same, since these are the first 64 bits of the whole IPv6 address. The other 64 bits of the IPv6 address represents the interface ID, that is, the device that is connected to the WRVS4400N.
I hope you find this information helpful. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

GPO Deployement of Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 fail with the following error: user cancelled installation

Hello everybody,
I get an issue when i try to deploy the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Software using a Group Policy Objetc.
The package tries to install a the computer's startup but i can't find the product installed.
On the event viewer and after a rsop.msc i get the following error: User cancelled installation
I worked threw this link http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Unable-to-install-Blackberry-Desktop-... and i installed vcredist_x86 and msxml6 on the client computer but the problem is still the same.
Could anyone help me for this issue.
Over simple way to solve my problem would be to let me know where i can download an older version of Blackberry Desktop Software because there is a link on the website but it doesn't work.

Well folks. I've had enough.
The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
Ciao folks!

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.

The Connection String for the Query Log table is automatically encrypted.

When I try to use the Usage Based Optimization to apply Aggregation Design to my measure group, it shows me the following
error message.
The connection string cannot be found. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and, in the Analysis Server Properties
page, check the value of the Log\QueryLog\QueryLogConnectionString
property.
I encountered this error like two weeks ago. At that time I just reset the connection string and every things seem
to be fine. A week ago, I successfully applied the Usage Based Optimization for one of my cubes. However when I tried to apply UBO for my other cubes today, I encountered the same issue again! I believe no one has changed the property of
the connection string.
Also if I query the Query Log table, I can see those latest queries made by the users. I'm sure the queries are still
logging into this table.
This is really strange. Anyone else has encountered the same issue? Thanks.

Hello Thomas,
I encounterd this issue. And I am struggling trying to solve this problem. If you have resolved this issue and I guess you must've, because this post is two years old, could you kindly post how you resolved this issue?
Thanks in advance

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).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.

Efforts to use, repair, and uninstall Blackberry desktop software failed. Help?

I upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and had to reinstall the Blackberry Desktop software. I'm looking for help to get it working. I've installed version 6.0. i'm on Curve 8330 (Verizon). Below describes mt efforts:
When I run the desktop software, I click "organizer', and then I connect the BB and wait unti the bottom right of the BB desktop software says "connecting...' then "sync". i then click the "configure settings..." and get a pop-up window titled "blackberry data synchronization" with message "operation in progress. please wait". The pop-up window self-disappears. It reappears every time I click the "configure settings..." button. However, this has run for hours. The software appears to be stuck in some sort of infinite loop.
So, I tried to repair the software as follows: Start - Control panel - programs and features - blackberry desktop software 6.0 - Next - Next (Repair is checked) - Install. I get a window titled "blackverry desktop software 6.0" that reads "The feature you are trying to use is on a netword resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate parth to a folder containint the installation package 'blackverry desktop software.msi' in teh box below. Use source: C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE0.TMP\
. I clock ok and try agin and get the message "the path 'c:\users\myname\appdata\local\temp\wzse0.tmp\blackberry desktop software.msi' cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try agin, or try to find the installation package 'blackberry desktop software.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product blackberry desktop software 6.0' I am unable to find this file on my computer, but "windows search" has been less than 100% successful for me in Windows 7. So, I clicked "cancel", and get the following message: "error 1706. No valid source could be found for product blackberry desktop software 6.0. the windows installer cannot continue. So. I click "finish".
So, I try to uninstall the software altogether as followstart - Control panel - programs and features - blackberry desktop software 6.0 - Next - Next (REMOVE is checked) - Next ("Remove all user settings for Blackberry desktop software" is checked.) - Remove. I then get the following message: "error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:\windows\installer\blackberry desktop software.msi". When I click "ok" to this window - I see "rolling back action" status bar. I then click "finish".
So,my efforts to use the software, repair the software, and uninstall the software have failed. Any advice?
I see no "blackberry desktop software.msi" in the c:\windows\installer\ folder. I am able to view hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools Folder options... - View tab - "show hidden files, folders, and driver" is selected".
I'll restart my windows search index tonight.

Thank you Viciousferret,
I re-downloaded the the 600_b047_multilanguage.exe to my PC using thelink you provided. I then ran it. I then did the following:
selected "NExt",
then "REMOVE" (the options were "repair" and "remove", not "modify" or "uninstall"), then NEXT,
then checked "remove all user settings for blackberry desktop software". then NEXT
then the REMOVE button
then FINISH
So, it appears the uninstall was successful.
The next step of your suggestion was to: "Then proceed with the clean uninstall by performing all the steps: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206" This link provides 5 tasks.
1) The first task includes instructions to ": Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop Software". Should I skip this step because I already did it above? If not, would you please provide the instructions for Windows 7? Only instructions for other operating systems are shown here.
2) The second task is to "remove computer registry entries". The fifth step gives instructions for XP, Vista and 7 64-bit. i use Windows 7 (32-bit). Are you able to provide the instructions for Windows 7? Also, the instructions to back up the registry are: "select My Computer (or Computer in Windows Vista) at the top of the folder structure, click File, and choose Export to export the file to your preferred location.'. When i select start then Computer and then click File (after verifying the "Computer" is highlighted in theWindows Explorer window, I am not presetned with an opportunity to click "Export'. My options are 'add a network location", 'create shortcut (greyed out), "delete", "rename", "properties" and "close". Are you able to provide additional guidance as to how i am failing see "export" when i seemingly follow these instructions?
3) Step 3 gives instructions for deletig folders from teh computer. It also lacks instructions for Windows 7. Are you able to provide them?
4) Step 4 provides a link to follow. that link also lacks instructions for Windows 7 (32-bit). Would you be able to provide instructions for Windows 7 (32-bit) users?

Blackberry Desktop Software 6 will not install

Hi
I am having real trouble installing Blackberry Desktop software 6, my problems started when my computer downloaded Blackberry Desktop Software 6 and a McAfee virus protection update at the same time then tried to install them both.
After many system restores and activating various dlls and removing McAfee I have managed to get my computer up and running again but when I have tried to reinstall the Blackberry Software I always get an error during intstallation that states:
Rim.Desktop.HttpServerSetup has encountered a problem and needs to close
It then tries to remove the installation which it then says that it can't complete and ends, it leaves an icon on the desktop but it shows an error everytime I try to start the software.
I have tried the clean uninstall as directed on the Blackberry website including removing all the registry keys and restarting the dll but I keep getting the same error.
Window XP is my operating system
Please help it driving me MAD

I've never had any problems with DM6 on WinXP, SP3.
I've mentioned on here several times that I don't recommend using the Roxio software, it's just to buggy I think.
