Blackberry software to tether phone's Internet to computer?

Hi,
As you probably know, Sprint removed the feature that would allow me to tether my phone's Internet for use on my laptop. I tried looking around, but the only means of getting it back up and running was with software like TetherBerry, PDA Net, etc. I was wondering if Blackberry developed any software that would let me do this?
Thanks!

How long does it take to upload new BlackBerry software onto your phone?

I just got my new blackberr curve 9300 because my first one broke only one year into my contract, and the software that came on the phone was an older version - so the phone itself prompted me to download the new software to the phone. While I was doing this, my internet went out for a split second and now the progress bar hasn't moved at all so I'm scared I messed it up and my phone isn't usable.
Basically, should it say that it has been "UPLOADING RAM IMAGE" for half an hour or more? Is this usually a long process?

Hello MorganDobro
Welcome to the Community
If its still in the uploading RAM image stage, that means its still safe to unplug it and go back from the beginning.

I thought I deleted downloaded BlackBerry software, but it remained even after I did a system restore. I manually deleted it from the Apps folder, but it's still in System Profiler under Apps. How do I delete this from System Profiler?

Right now, it seems as if it is still showing in System Profiler, then the unnecessary BlackBerry software I downloaded from the internet is still using memory, right? How do I permanently delete it?

In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
._Files
Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

Unable to update Blackberry software application & files

I have a Blackberry 9360. I've just run the Blackberry Desktop Software. It shows that I can update the software for my phone. However, whenI try to it comes up with amessage that says an error occurred, and I can't install it. My internet connection is fine. I've tried this a number of times with same result !! Any ideas what's wrong, or how to fix it ?
Also, when on Blackberry Desktop Software and I click on 'pictures' under te Media Sync, it shows I have no pictures. I did have pictures, and pictures show up against my contacts, so I don't know what's happened, or if this is related to my updating problem. If I click on 'Music' I can see a message that states that I have insufficient storage to media sync. Any ideas ??

Hi there,
I had the exact same problem. What I do was Back-Up my BlackBerry (make sure you do this), then wipe the handheld. After its been restored to factort settings, before you do anything else on the device, plug it into your computer / laptop and open Desktop Manager. Then update it from the Software and that should fix it, well that's how I fixed mine?

How can i return to the previous software on my phone??

Im new to the blackberry world and have only had my phone 3 days. My blackberry software for the laptop said there was an upgrade of the software (version 5.0 i think) so i installed it...half way through it said there was a problem with the installation.this worried me because it did state on there that if the process was interrupted then it can cause problems and may not be able to use the phone. My phone menu is all over the place now.its gone black and white and i cant find anything on there. I dont know what to do now. Ive tried to go back and remove it but i dont think its possible from my phone because the help ive looked up said that on some phones it may not be possible to remove.Please can someone help me because im pulling my hair out now thinking that blackberry have wrecked my phone and i wont be able to use it again.

Hi
I don't think BB have wrecked your phone, but I can see why you would think so.
Also, I dont think the "help" you quote was at all helpful.
Anyway, from your description, I believe you have updated your device to OS 5 using the Desk Top Manager (or Software) and that during the process a problem arose with the update and the BB is now not working. Do bear in mind that if you updated from OS 4 to OS 5, the device will be different but from the description it sounds as if the interuption has caused the new OS to be corrupt.
To resolve the problem will require the device completely wiping and a fresh OS installing. The instructions below will guide you through the process. You must ensure that the PC or laptop is not likely to be accessible to children or pets throughout; catching the USB cable is a primary cause of the type of problem you have had.
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
If the PC does not recognize the BB, You need to connect the via the USB cable. Then pull the battery from the BB.
With the battery pulled, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector and as SOON as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN hit Next. You have to be quick. From there you can put the battery back in (make sure you install the battery or else when the OS update is completing and the device disconnects from the computer to reboot, it will lose the power provided by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to do it all over again!).
If you don't get it right the first time, try again (unplug from USB, pull battery, connect and hit Next while USB-PIN:Unknown is showing). You have to be fast and the timing is key, so it may take you three or four attempts.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
9) Press "Y" to continue
10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

Please verify the following and try again: 1. Ensure the handset is connected to the computer. 2. Ensure the BlackBerry software is running on the handset."
I've tryed everything ang "googled" for help but until now I was unable to go further on the instalation.

Where can I download Blackberry software for Mac OS 10.5.8

Where can I find a download the Blackberry software for Mac OS 10.5.8? Also what is the higest possible software upgrade for a Blackberry Curve 8530? I recently got this old phone back and I'm trying to see what I should do with it and if its worth keeping.

Hello Professoracex and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
In order to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer, you need OSX 10.6 or later.
As for the latest software version, your mobile carrier decides what versions they will release to support. You can check your mobile carrier's download site here for the latest available version.
Hope this answers your question.

I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once. I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Incompatibility between company enterprise server/software (non BB) and blackberry software updates.

My phone is connected to our company enterprise server and works fine until the blackberry software updates. When ever a blackberry software update occurs, the operating system on the phone crashes, (icons shrink down, not all icons are present, phone does not display or operate correctly). I am on my 5th phone, the only way to correct the situation is to get another phone. Is there some way I can turn off the blackberry updates on my phone???

for email on a BlackBerry device, you have the following options :
BES. It's the Rolls Royce. You have to pay the price for it (a BES server, as well as admins, OR use a private BES service)
BIS. It's the one for regular people. You can't deal with folders, but it's free and works on any email address using POP3 or IMAP
BIS over Outlook Web Access. It's like BIS but through the webmail Outlook Web Access. Depending on the version of Outlook Web Access, it is or not possible for you to connect to it
webmails
a dedicated email application, like GMail for BlackBerry
BlackBerry Unite -> check the documentation on the website about that. Basically, it's like a tiny BES.
Watch out, unlike Windows Mobile devices, there are no true IMAP clients available on the BlackBerry devices (you can use BIS over IMAP but without folders for example).

Blackberry 9800 touch smart phone

I have recently purchased a new Blackberry 9800 touch smart phone and I am unable to connect to the internet, it tells me I need an Enterprise password, how do I get this, because it seam like I can't send emails or seach the internet until I activate my phone. where would I fine this activation password?
it say's when I try to email, activate your enterprise account,enter details provided by your system administrator.
So, what dose this mean? I haven't got a clue. Help!!!

That message will appear for one of two reasons. One, the phone has an IT policy on it or two, you don't have a proper BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) data plan with Vodafone.
If you don't have a BIS plan with Vodafone, you'll have to give them a ring to activate such a plan if you wish to fully appreciate your BlackBerry. If you do have BIS with them, then you'll need to do a security wipe of the phone to remove the IT policy. This can be done by going to your homescreen and following Options>Security>Security Wipe or Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running.
I hope that helps you.
