Blackberry desktop software doesn't connect with address book
blackberry desktop software version 2.4.0 doesn't connect with address book on a mac os lion (10.7.4). Sync contacts not possible. Use a BB 9500 v5.0.0.841 (plateform 4.2.0.380). Any solution ?
You have both Desktop Software and Link set to open when a device is connected to your Mac. You need to go to the settings of Desktop Software (I don't recall exactly what to do but there should be some settings in the top right corner) and set it to not open when a device is connected. Once you have it set to not open when your phone is connected, make sure that Link is set to open. That should resolve your issue.
Let us know if that helps you.

Hey whats up..... I'm new to the playbook and I'm having serious problems trying to connect my playbook with the blackberry desktop software. when i tried connecting it, a small windows popped up, saying "blackberry desktop software cannot communicate with the connected device.............. and if error to update". 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.

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.

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! -

Rajasekhar.Hello!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
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.
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.

D900 sms / call doesn't work with address book
Unlike similar posts,
the 'SMS' and 'Dial with' options ARE avaliable and the phone pairs just fine.
However, when I type a message and send, nothing happens phone side. Same with dial a call.
The bluetooth emblem on the Adress book remains glowing blue. The phone doesn't seem to stay connected though(?).
at least I can sync now though (10.4.9)
Thanks for any insight!!!
LukeI'm also having this issue. While the phone appears to "pair" with Address Book and the options for SMS and dial are available, they perform no function at all as far as I can tell.
iSync works fine with the phone now however (thanks to 10.4.9). If anyone has any further information, it would be very much appreciated. -

BlackBerry Desktop Software doesn't support the BlackBerry 10 OS
a feuniquely useful and unique to BB.w years ago I upgraded to a OS 10 device and owned for less than 24 hours before paying to get my OS7 bold 9930 back. Currently debating on getting a classic, but believe that OS10 still does not support BB desktop nor the BNA website.
These were two features that I used very often and that I found unique to BB and very useful.
How is OS10 supplanting these tools and services?
Why in the world are they not retroactively supported?Hello,
It is completely well documented what is required...here:
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/overview.html?LID=us:bb:software:desktopsoftware&LPOS=us:b...
As you can see, BBLink and BBBlend exist for BB10, while the BB Desktop Software exists for legacy devices. BB10 and legacy devices are very very different...I can completely understand why they would need a totally new set of PC software for such a new and different device. It is what it is, and Blend provides a level of functionality never even dreamed of for legacy BBOS (well, maybe dreamed...but never delivered).

the BNA website.
I have on idea what that is, so can't help you there.

Indeed, the Desktop Software does not work with BB10 devices. Instead, you need the LINK software...available here:

Why doesn't BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronize my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book
Hi there, please help! I am trying to sync my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book. I used BlackBerry Desktop Software and did a two-way sync, but my Address Book is still empty. The images on my BlackBerry copied to iPhoto, so the sync 'worked' here but not for the contacts. Thanks!
Hello AdalaMichelle and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
What OSX version does your Mac have? What's your BlackBerry Desktop Software version?
When you set up your Mac, did you enable iCloud for your Mac Address Book?
Is your Mac or your BlackBerry Address Book blank?
Did you enable wireless contact sync on your BlacKBerry when you added an email account?
Thanks!

"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?
co-founder of Diaree | BB Dev for PictureThisI 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. -
BlackBerry Desktop Software 6 doesn't go along with Windows 7 ?
I tried to install applications using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6 on my Windows 7 laptop, a weird thing happened: after selected applications to install and hit apply button, the software wouldn't go downloading or do anything, just went back right away to refresh the application list.
I've got other couple of computers with Windows XP, Vista and Windows Server 2008, so I tried the software on them, no any problem.
Anybody get the same problem? What the reason could be?One of my laptops is running Windows 7 and I just recently, and successfully, installed the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I would try going into your computer's Control Panel and seeing if the Desktop Software did in fact install. If it did, then uninstall it and try again. If you are still having issues, try running the installation in Compatibility Mode. The instructions on how to run something in this Mode through Windows 7 are located here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html
To find the .exe file of the BlackBerry Desktop Software, navigate to My Computer (Windows Key + E) > Right-Click on the CD in the Drive > Select 'Open'. I have attached an image below for visual reference.
I hope my response helped you! If you like it, give me a kudo!
