Calendar as part of Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

Hi All,
It would be a good idea to have the BB Calendar as part of Blackberry Desktop Manager Software, so appointments could be entered on the PC and then sync with a BB or the other way about.
I don't have an enterprise server, just plain old MS Outlook on my PC.
Regards,
Leslie.

Hello,
As what I assume to be a business strategy, RIM specifically does not provide a PIM/Organizer with their software. Rather, they provide conduits to various PIMs so that the user has a choice as to which PIM they prefer. See this matrix for which PIMs are supported by different versions of the RIM DTM software:

BES is not required in order to sync a calendar to a BB. You can indeed sync, with the tools available today, bi-directionally calendar, contacts, email, etc. etc. etc.

  • New BlackBerry Desktop Manager software for Mac

    Let me know if there is a better "BlackBerry" forum to ask these questions -- but just wondering if this software will backup Address Book on my Mac to my BlackBerry without erasing everything I've already entered into the Blackberry by hand the past 2 years...
    ...also we have the Enterprise (corporate account) BlackBerry license (BB 8820) - if I use the newly released BlackBerry Desktop Manager software will that make a real mess of things or is it compatible.
    Thanks for any comments or references to other forums or such. I come here because everything I've done with computers since 1989 is MAC - and this is a great discussion site-- and yet my latest job is using BB's... (and most others are on PC's...)
    Saturday 3 October 2009

    As far as screwing things up, mine went fine. There were some comments about problems. If you go to crackberry. com, there is a Mac users area, under Forums/Blackberry Operating Systems and Desktop Managent.

  • Installing Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.0 Sp1 software
    onto a few PC's.
    Once I've customised the setup.ini file and run "setup.exe /s" from the
    local drive (or network drive), the program setup installs the software
    correctly.
    However, when creating a Zen App object and inserting the following in
    the "Run Options" tab, all I get is the MSIEXEC options screen (same as
    running msiexec.exe /?)
    Path to File:
    C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\Blackberry_DM_4.0Sp1.exe /s
    Working Directory: C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\
    Any idea why the setup works when executing from Windows Explorer, but
    fails when executing from Zen App objects?
    Thanks for the input...

    Hi Anders,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, I definitely selected the option "A Simple Application (No
    ..AOT/.AXT.MSI file)"
    It's worth mentioning that the setup.exe file calls an MSI file called
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi".
    That appears to be done via the setup.ini file. See below.

  • Desktop Manager software & Windows compatibil​ity

    I've downloaded the latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager software, paired the the Blackberry and desktop and as soon as I press the Synchronise button I get a message from telling me that the Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close, plus do I want to tell Microsoft about this problem.
    Has anyone come across this before and is there an easy solution?
    Working off WIndows XP Pro.
    Cheers

  • 8530 Desktop Manager Software Updated on 3/7/2013 killed my calendar link

    Since January 2010, my then-brand new 8530 Curve synched perfectly and beautifully with my Outlook Express calendar.  As of 3/7/2013, some automatic update to my Desktop Manager Software blew the whole thing up.  Now, whenever I connect my Curve to my PC, the PC reboots.  We can't even get an error message, the reboot is instantaneous. 
    Have checked everything else (promise), and I've had my computer geek (who is excellent and who built my computer and my network) and various other tech wizards all tell me the same thing:  I need to get BACK to version 6.0.0 something something Desktop Manager software and download that back to my PC, then stop all automatic updates.  They, and I, have collectively spent three full days trying to accomplish this, which led to this forum and all of you.  PLEASE help!
    Details:  From my Blackberry, the following:  8530 v 5.0.0.1030 (Bundle 1675, Platform 4.2.0.451)
    PC is Windows XP operated.
    What else does anyone need to know?  THANKS SO MUCH!  In return, can talk horses and/or law for hours in one-to-one chats in gratitude!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I suggest this thread:

    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.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

    ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing.  Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar".  How do I fix this?  I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program.  Help

    I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting:  Mac OS, device, device OS...
    Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC).  The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be.  Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
    On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL?  You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
    Now do you have more than one calendar?  In the DM how are you setting the sync?  Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device?  Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device?  Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

    Starting about a week ago, the synch process gets all the way to the end and I get a message saying:
    "BlackBerry Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working" and I have the choice to "check online for a solution and close the program" or "close the program".  When I click on "view problem details I get this:

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found this on another site:
    1.) Start the Desktop Manager software 
    2.) Connect the blackberry using USB Connector
    3.) Select "back-up and restore"
    4.) Select "advanced"
    5.) Look at the list of information showing in the "device memory" window on your computer
    6.) Select "calender all" and DELETE it
    7.) Go back to the main screen and syncronize.
    8.) Everything should work fine!
    In essence it was a corrupt calendar data file on the Blackberry device, apparently.

  • Error message "Blackberry Desktop Manager has stopped working"

    I have a Blackberry 8310, and since dowloading the latest version of Desktop Manager software (Version 4.3) I have run into repeated problems with synchonization with my Outlook (using Vista).
    When I try to sync the device with my laptop, I get the error message in the subject line above, and Windows closes the Desktop Manager program.  This occurs when the Calendar function is trying to sync. 
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Try the following:
    Make sure your BB is not connected to the computer.
    Close the desktop manager.
    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application data
    Delete the entire Intellisync folder.
    Connect your BB and open the desktop manager.
    Sync your device.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac won't remember my sync preferences

    Each time I close BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac I and reopen it, I have to set all of my preferences for syncing my Calendar and Contacts again.  The software remembers my selections as long as I don't quit the application, but once I quit it and reopen it they are gone.
    I have tried deleting the plist files, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but nothing fixes this issue.
    This is happening on both of my MacBook Pros and with both of my BlackBerry devices.
    Both MacBook Pros are running 10.6.1 and I have a BlackBerry Tour running 4.7.1.40 and a BlackBerry Curve 8330m running 4.5.0.138.

    despite posts to the contrary there is a big compatibility problem with Apple LION and Blackberry Desktop manager.
    BB are pretending that the problemdoes not exist, but just look over all the boards here and elsewhere.
    Come on BLACKBERRY - sort it out

  • Error when updating Playbook OS version via Blackberry Desktop Manager

    Greeting,
    I have a batch of old playbooks which having the stack charging issue, but I found that I can update the OS to the newest version (2.1.0.1917) via Blackberry Desktop Manager, then the charging algorithm will be changed to the updated one and go over this dead battery issue. I was able to do so successfully in the past week smoothly on several devices.
    But since this Monday, the Desktop Manager is saying "An updated Blackberry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue" when downloading the Desktop software and will appear "There was an error updating your software, an error has occurred while downloading the Blackberry Desktop Software.Please try again." and preventing the process. Seems there are some change on the server side starting this week which has caused this problem, but there's no error code to locate the exact issue.
    I tried on 2 different computers as well as completed uninstalling and re-installing the Desktop manager, also tried to disable the automatic update as been advised in some threads. So no clue how to deal with it for now. It will be highly appreciate if some one can share some idea.
    I've attached the step by step screenshots for reference, where you can find here:

    Sorry I can not help you with your problem but perhaps you can help me.  
    Can you advise where I can find info on "disable the automatic update"?
    just ignore the update if you dont want it on the playbook
    for reloading the OS
    First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
    Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
    You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    QUICKLY choose the Update option.
    This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager on Mac OS 10.4.11

    Hi all,
    I'm installing BlackBerry Desktop Manager for my MacBook (OS 10.4.11). However, the software requires at least 10.5.5 and I tried installing it with no success. It says it "requires OS 10.5". Does it mean I have to install 10.5.1 first and then install 10.5.5?
    Basically, my question is we CANNOT skip version and install 10.5.8 (which is the latest) on, say, my 10.4.11?

    Hello nrugkhapan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Does it mean I have to install 10.5.1 first and then install 10.5.5?
    That means you must purchase & install Leopard/10.5.x, which is freely upgradable to as far as 10.5.8, but you'll likely have to call Apple to get a cpy,since they no longer list it for sale on their site.
