BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize Bluetooth

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 Desktop Software does not recognize my device

    My problem is that when I plug my phone into my desktop computer by USB it will charge, but when I go to do anything to by means of BlackBerry Desktop Software the program does not recognize that my device is plugged in. This has been going on for months now that it will not sync, I just haven't desperately needed to sync my phone until now. I have tried pulling the battery and pulling the sim card. I have also tried other USB cords.

  • Desktop software does not recognize phone

    I have downloaded the latest desktop software, connected my Torch 9800 and successfully synced calendar, contacts etc. with Outlook.  When I connect the phone after that, the software does not recognize the phone and will progress to the sync function. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the desktop software, and the same problem happened again.  I have tried the connectivity solutions suggested by the software without any luck.  The computer is recognizing the phone, but the software is not.  Any ideas out there?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please review the System Requirements for the RIM Desktop Software:
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/desktop-pc/system-requirements.html
    As you see, with XP, SP3 has been required for quite some time...so none of the more recent Desktop Software versions will work for you. But, those System Requirements pages are kind of messed up right now (three tabs claiming to be for "6.0.1", but with different information on each).
    If you cannot obtain SP3, then you will need to fall back to older and older versions of the Desktop Software until you find one that works under SP2. Old versions can be found here:

    Good luck!

  • Desktop Software does not recognize Vista Desktop Software

    My PC is running Windows Vista Home Premium. Blackberry is a Curve 8900 running OS 5.0.0.900. Desktop Software is v. 6.0.2.44 bundle 45. I recently wiped my PC and reinstalled everything, so this is a fresh install of Desktop Software. I use the Windows Vista native calendar, and am unable to get DS to recognize it. When I click on the organizer button (Select Organizer Data to Synchronize), the Calendar entry says "Not Installed". When I click "Configure Settings", I can choose Windows Vista Native Application as an option for the calendar, but on closing that window, the Calendar entry says "Not Installed" again. I know that I can sync my 8900 with the Vista calendar, as I was able to do it in the past. Not sure why it's not working now. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Blackberry Desktop SW does not recognize the device is plugged into the USB

    Hi! Hope someone can help!  I have been syncing fine for years.  Then all of a sudden, my BB Desktop software says 'Connect Your Device".. but is is connected via the USB.  I click the link that says Troubleshoot your connection, and verified each one of the items.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled the BB Desktop Software, same issue.  The phone is charging fine and the sound is made each time I plug in and unplug the Bold 9900 to the USB to the computer.  I have tried all the differnt USB ports, and differnet cables.  I use WIndows 7 Professional, SP 1.
    Can anyone help??  Thank you!

    No. Never had this problem.
    What kind of an adapter are you using?  Your Apple supplied charger is multivoltage. All you need is to use a plug that will allow the charger to fit into the UK plug.

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • 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 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!

  • Desktop Software does not start - really not at all

    Hi everybody,
    I hope this is not a common problem...
    I installed the latest version of DM (710_b033_multilanguage) successfully on my PC. 
    Win7 (64bit), 8GB Ram, plenty of Diskspace and sufficient Video HW
    As mentioned the installation was successfully.
    When I start immediately a windows error message pops up, telling me the the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not work anymore (translated from the original German popup) and that Windows is looking for a solution. Sure enough Windows does not find anything and the window disappears without further notification.
    I tried
    - reinatalling
    - repairing
    - installing on SSD as well as on standard HDD
    - searching the blog on "not start"
    - cussing
    - and now posting
    Can anybody help - please?
    Cheers
    T

    Thanks :-)
    but unfortunately it did not work - still the same error:
    Cheers

  • Desktop Manager does not recognize USB Connection

    I have installed the Desktop Manager for MAC (v1.0.2) on my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard10.6.3.
    When I connect my Storm 9520 the Mac OS recognizes the media storage drives in the 'Finder'.  I can copy files to and from the device media using 'Finder' but the Desktop Manager does not recognize that the device is plugged into the USB (yes I have tried both USB connectors).
    file:///Users/Nigel/Desktop/WaitingForUSB.jpg

    I have an 8310, Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6 and the BB desktop v 1.0.2 build 8.  It recently stopped recognizing the USB connection as well.  I was able to sync my BB with the MAC but can no longer do so.  The MAC mounts the BB and I can access the SD card.  What gives here?

  • .Desktop Software does not connect to Blackberry Pearl 8130

    On Monday, 12/17/12, I accepted an update of Blackberry Desktop Software to 7.1.0.37 (Bundle39). Since then my computer is unable to connect to my Blackbeery Pearl 8130 through the destop software. The computer sees the Blackberry fine, so there is not a problem with the USB cable or connection. It is the Blackberry software that does not work. How do I revert to the previous version of Blackberry Desktop Software (which did work just fine)?

    Forget it. I found an old download file on my computer and installed the software and now it works.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software doesn't recognize my .rem files on my SD media card. Cannot sync them to my Mac.

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing this problem where Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac 2.3.0 (build 12)  doesn't recognize my .rem files (video and photo) on my SD media card (the Desktop Software app does show that file space on the media card is being used). Therefore, these files cannot be synced, decrypted, and viewed on my computer. I can see them on phone. I do have mass storage mode turned on and I can see the .rem files in the video and photo folders when my phone is connected to my computer. I can copy them to my Mac but since they aren't decrypted, I cannot view them.
    I'm going to buy a new phone and I need to get these files off my current phone.  I have a Tour 9630 with BB  OS 5.0 bundle 1600.
    I've tried backing up, reformatting the media card, wiping, and restoring but nothing has worked.
    Is there any kind of utility that will let me decrypt the files on my computer? Should I try Blackberry Desktop Software for Windows?
    I'm hoping someone can provide some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hey jack_clarke,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on the BlackBerry: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB13564
    If this is disabled you won't be able to access your media card from the computer.
