Bluetooth Sync Problem.

I don't understand why I never get bluetooth connection to work properly with the BB desktop manager and sync with Outlook.
I got it to work for half a day at best and to sync once or twice.
I have Windows 7 Professional and a BB 9700 BOLD. I have BB Desktop Software 6.0.1.18.
It connects just fine with W7 and sometimes with the BB desktop manager. After one or two successful syncs, it tells me that the 9700 is powering off, restarting or something of the sort (which is not true...).
Can anyone guide me towards resolution of this problem?

I feel your pain. I dont get why this does not work properly. It did not work with my pearl and does not work with my Torch.
I tried all sorts of exotic solutions and they all lead down the same frustating path. Once in a while i try it again it works for a day at best and then fails. My phone is always paired with my PC but something BB desktop manager does not "known"/"notice" or sometimes it gives me the same message as you, ie device power off when it clearly is not...
Its particularly frustrating because its not that important but it would be nice to have that option available from time to time.
Just trying hard not to waste a few more hours to try to fix this problem.
Good luck to you.

Hello rlarue, welcome to the HPalm Support Community.
If I could direct your attention to the topmost posts in this section? They have a grey background and are called "sticky posts" due to the fact they do not move downwards as new posts arrive, but "stick" to the top.
That said, you'll find two interesting posts! "How to sync a TX via Wifi" and "64 bit drivers are HERE".

Bluetooth Sync problems, Treo 755P and Vista

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista. After reading the posts I realized that syncing with USB would not work, so I added bluetooth to my computer (Targus USB bluetooth adapter). When I first set it up, my 755p and my PC synced just fine, then it just stopped working. I have checked the settings and drivers and I can't figure out the problem, and I cannot get it to work again. I have tried a soft reset of my 755p. any suggestions?

Centro 64 bit bluetooth sync problem

Hi, I searched forum but did not find answer to my specific problem. I just got new computer with Win 7 64 bit so USB cable can not be used to sync my Centro. Added a BT dongle and both the BT software and Centro can "see" each other but Centro either freezes or gives error when I try to sync. Problem seems to be which comm port I am setting up. I have tried to set up a virtual comm port but the BT software seems to only accept comm 40 which is not an option with HotSync manager. Also, I do not see Bluetooth as an option in the hotsync setup.
Any thoughts, links, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Stuart

I am using PC Suite v6.85.14.1 with Vista 32 bit Premium Home and a Nokia 5300 phone. Periodically I am unable to syn - either the sync key is grayed out or I get a warning message "phone has not responded". If I then go to control panel, uninstall progs, PC Suite and hit repair, it will work until I restart the computer when I have to go through the whole repair business again. I can turn the phone on and off and it will continue to work, the problem only seems to occur if I turn the computer on and off.
I have same problem!!!! Only log off and then log in to windows helps.... But this is very annoying solution...

1.1.3 causing phone freeze, dropped calls, bluetooth sync problems

Hello,
I upgraded to 1.1.3 a couple days ago and have had the following problems since.
1) The phone locked up / froze. I was switching applications and the screen went to half brightness and the phone would not respond. Could not power off, could not get home button to react, nothing. Was sitting down at PC to search for how to reset when the phone just "came back". This is a bit annoying and has happened a couple times.
2) I have the bluetooth integration in my car. It's worked flawlessly since I got the car and set it up. Not one hiccup. Get in the car and voila. As of 1.1.3 the car had a tough time finding the phone. The phone said it was "paired". Took the car a while to see the phone and be able to use it.
3) The phone has dropped 4 calls in the past day. All dropped suddenly with no warning in a place where I always am able to have clear, long calls.
Is anyone else having trouble with this? The new features are great but the phone is starting to really be annoying and "PC" like in its flakiness.

Same issue. Found a solution that worked for me:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/17/fix-for-iphone-113-bluetooth-problems/
They gave 3 possible solutions. The only one that worked for me was the following:
Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC then press the “Restore” button in iTunes. When prompted, choose the option “Set up as new iPhone.” Once the phone has been restored, re-attempt pairing with the problematic Bluetooth device. Unfortunately, this solution will result in the erasure of some custom settings on the phone.
Good luck

PC Sync Problem

I have a Nokia E61 and i used to Sync it by Bluletooth to my HP Notebook. I just purchased a Lenovo Notebook and downloaded the latest PC Suite. I installed it and tried to connect my E61 as usual, but it could never recognize it. My Bluetooth on Lenovo identified the phone no problem, but not the PC Suite. I have disabled the Anti Virus just in case. I even tried using the cable to connect, but without success.
Is there a sync problem with Nokia PC Suite and Lenovo? pls advise if others have had similar problems and what is the solution. THanks, Omar

I seem to have resolved this.
I created a back fodler in Outlook of my Calendar folder.
I deleted records from my Outlook Calendar folder
I then copied back in future appointments back into the Calendar folder from the backup,
I was then able to synchronise appointments with PCSync.
Not sure if there was some corruption with my Outlook calendar folder?

Bluetooth sync on ios7

This is not a question but a tip in case someone didnt notice.
Apple has finally done it, finally listened to our requests.
Bluetooth sync on ios 7 absolutely ROCKS!!!!!
Videos, apps, music, and even GAMES sync PERFECTLY!!!!!!
Ive tested both on iphone 5 and ipad mini and its absolutely great!!!!
Gaming without the chord of the earphones, is just fantastic!!!
Apple, listen to us more often and #1 is where you'll be for a long time!!!!
How about a 5" screen on the next iphone????

They may have barely fixed the audio/video sync issues on bluetooth headphones while creating another problem like the one you mentioned, but the sync problem still remains with the audio system in vehicles. I do not know if others are having the same issue with their car stereos but I am pretty sure they do because my car, being a 2013 model, has the audio delay during bluetooth playback. Also, since iOS7 update, even playing via USB connection has a slight delay now. Delay in USB is tolerable(only fraction of a second) but delay in bluetooth(about 2 seconds)is just too frustrating.

Bluetooth sync but no voice 5s suspect lastest update

bluetooth syncs but no voice on 5s suspect lastest update as the set works with other 5s not updated

Thanks John for the quick reply.........
I tried the link and deleted the duplicate firewall exceptions but it did not seem to help. Sometimes I can connect via bluetooth but I keep having to start and stop DM 6 until it will sync. What is interesting is that Blackberry Device Manager shows that it IS connected and my phone is blinking the light showing that it is connected to the computer. It seems as though DM 6 has isssues establishing a connection. My current device software version is 4.5.0.175. As I said before there was no problem with DM 4.5. I wonder if I should have deleted that version before installing DM 6 over it. I don't think that's the problem since Device manager easily connects with my phone............Greg

Pearl syncing problems and unspecified errors

Hello all,
I have had this bbpearl flip for about a month now, and over christmas I added email and total internet to my phone package, so I am in the process of setting up all of that. Ever since I enabled the web and whatnot, I have been having sync problems. I tried to add email addresses to my outlook contacts by importing a .csv file, which gave me a box that said "Unspecified Error occured" during the sync. I have reinstalled the desktop manager software (v4.6) and the device software, and restored my harddrive to an earlier version. Everything seemed fine until I tried to use my bluetooth adapter to sync with my laptop. Turns out that the adapter doesn't work very well with Vista (which is what I have) so I have abandoned that idea for now. This morning when I plugged in my phone to sync, I am getting an Unspecified Error again. The last time I synced this way it worked just fine, and I don't know of anything I have done in the meantime to mess it up. Any ideas?
Specs:
BB Pearl Flip 8220 w/ T-Mobile
Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista
Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Office 2003

I have the same problem, i think its record 55. However i am sync'ing from the device to outlook. How do I find record 55 and how do I inspect from device...
Hello,
I haven't had to do so in quite some time, but I recall that if you do an export from Outlook, the order the data is in will be the same order that the sync process uses...which should enable you to find the record in question. However, that's from Outlook to the device...and you say you are doing the reverse...
Perhaps if you use the Desktop Software to perform an export from the BB, the records may well be in the order needed?
Good luck!

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems. iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C. When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4. This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4. It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans. (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" What's going on? I'm afraid to choose either option.
How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

They were both displaying the same name in iTunes. I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

How is your iPod configured to sync content from your iTunes library? Any error messages during the sync process?
You may want to reset warnings on the device by right->clicking on it under Devices and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod to see if any alerts appear.
Is this the same computer you normally sync the Nano with?

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?
