BlackBerry Desktop Software (Update)

I have been battling for weeks to update my current version (Software Version: 60 Bundle 2475) of BlackBerry Desktop Software to the updated version (Updated Version: 6.0 Bundle 2949) which is available as indicated by the red asterisk next to Updated Version on the home screen of BlackBerry Desktop Software.
I am constantly getting the same error message: "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your Internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists."
I have absolutely no issue with my internet connection and I am constantly "try(ing) again later".
Please assist.

Blackberry desktop software shows erro while updating

can anyone help me .. I really need help im struggling since 4 months my blackberry desktop software is not updating my device when I want to do software update it shows error that " an error occurred while downloading blackberry desktop software. please try again"

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
For some reason, the "automatic" method is failing...consequently, you need to take control and override the automatic method. The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
5) 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
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Blackberry desktop software cannot update my error 507 9800touch phone

my blackberry desktop software cannot update and load an os to the phone. i have error 507 which means there is no os on my phone as i read somewhere. but the problem is.... i have tried all the intruction on the solution on error507 but to no avail. the device software alwas says " "There is no BlackBerry® Software available." with Cancel, Update and Retry option. If I choose to Update the software it will say that no software is available... i even tried downloading the os6 for my fone and used the loader but it gets stuck at the last process with the same message "There is no BlackBerry® Software available.
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:
KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
freexrythem wrote:
"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 for Mac not updating 9900

Hi,
please could someone assist me in this.
I have a mac running the latest Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac. And a Bold 9900 on 7.0 bundle 1465.
The Blackberry Desktop Software says new update available 7.0.0.1672. So i proceed to update the blackberry. It says installing and reboots. But it still has the old version, and the Blackberry Desktop Software still says new version available. (7.0.0.1672) So im going in a loop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey luckyBB,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I noticed you listed your carrier as T-Mobile UK, this provider does not have the 9900 yet. Can you explain what provider this 9900 is from so I can better assist in getting that bundle of software

This is where the problems start. downloading this does somthing and the desktop software doesnt recognise any blackberry device connected. its not damaged leads or ports, i have removed and re installed. i have run as administrator. i have tried everything, the only thing i can think of is if its a dodgy update by blackberry. hope someone has this problem and found the problem

BlackBerry Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry device update - Aborting install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfactory dependencies.

I have a Bold 9900 and using Blackberry Desktop Software on Mac.
How do I deal with this problem?
Thank you.

I tried this method already. The problem is that there is no such thing as 'BlackBerryDesktop' but instead I just have 'BlackBerry'. And also, there are no 'Logs' either.

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.

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.
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 7 is a waste of time - disappointing!!!

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.

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:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Bold 9650 running on Windows XP
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."
Error signature
Event type: clr20r3
P1: rim.desktop.exe
P2: 6.0.1.18

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?
