Calendar Sync Conflicts with Blackberry Desktop v7.1

Since upgrading to Desktop v7.1 I have been receiving "silly" messages for conflicts that I need to resolve. The reason I say there are "silly" is that it seems the conflict notification is looking only at the subject/description. When have more than one item of the same name it is reported as a conflict even though the times are different and do no overlap and the contained notes are definitely not identical.
It would be great to have better intelligence than this. If only the subject line is the same and everything else is different then they are two different entries! )
** Also - the idea behind the new sync conflict format is great but the display is ridiculously compressed. It should be expanded (or be expandable) to an adequate size to view the conflict info. **
Am I missing a setting or something for conlfict resolution?
Thanks!!

BTW.
Software is latest version, I think...
v7.1.0.37

Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

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:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB12268&sliceId=1&docTy...
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.

blackberry desktop.
When i connect it it gives a usb error that the drivers are not installed succesfully
are there usb drivers for the blackberry 8520 curve ?

Have you done a battery pull yet? If not, give that a shot.
Open desktop manager first, then try to connect the phone when it says "connect your device"

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

I also thought that this was the case, but that is incorrect. Please see my previous post below:
I was having the same problem with an iPhone 4 and Windows XP. I finally fixed the issue! I read several posts over the past month telling me to make sure that both the PC and iPhone were on the same network. I thought that both were on the same network; however, I was using my "Guest network" to connect my iPhone to my Airport Base Station. In order for both devices to be on the same network, the first 3 numbers of both IP addresses must match. For example, if the PC's IP address is 199.167.1.X, the iPhone's IP address must be 199.167.1.Y. I signed onto my password-protected network from the phone just to see what IP address it would use. As soon as I logged on, my iPhone started to sync wirelessly. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I would suggest comparing the IP addresses of your PC and iPhone before doing anything else. For those posting that the PC and iPhone must be on the same Wireless network, my PC is hard-wired to the Airport Extreme and it still works!
My Setup:
iPhone 4 (running IOS 5.0.1)
Dell PC (running Windows XP SP3) (no wireless network card)
Airport Exteme Base Station (5th Generation & updated firmware)

If I buy a Macbook Pro, can I sync it with my desktop iMac?

If I buy a Macbook Pro, can I sync it with my desktop iMac?

If what you mean is whether you can move all your files to the new Mac, SURE -- that is easy.
Daily Local sync-ing seems to have been removed from 10.9 Mavericks, which would come pre-installed on a new Mac.
You can sync through iCloud or a Server you control.
File Sharing between Macs on a network remains available.

'Sync conflicts' with Outlook after upgrading to iTunes 7.4

Since upgrading to iTunes 7.4 2 days ago I now receive a 'sync conflict' error with entries on Outlook calendar when syncing the iPhone. It allows me to view each conflict but I cannot see any differences between the entries that are apparently conflicting.
I can continue and all seems fine, but it happens every time I sync.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks
Rixta

It is possible to get iTunes 7.4 working with Outlook 2002, in spite of Apple saying that they don't support it. I posted it as Solution to Syncing with Outlook XP (Outlook 2002.)
Just save the following file from your current installation of iTunes 7.3 (you can copy and paste it to your Windows desktop):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Clients\com.apple.Outlook\Contents\Windows\
com.apple.Outlook
Then be sure you have a current backup of your Outlook.pst file.
Upgrade to iTunes 7.4.3.1, and connect the iPhone. Open the Info tab in iTunes, and check the boxes and use the pull down menus to select Outlook for contacts, calendar and mail. You should then have no problem syncing to the iPhone.
Too bad about the loss of the music you purchased, I would suggest you call Apple and have them give you a credit, as they created the loss through their either accidental or intentional modification of iTunes (actually Apple Mobile Device Support.)

Can't sync iCal with Blackberry since 10.6.6 OS update

My Blackberry Storm used to sync just fine with my iCal and Address Book. After I installed Snow Leopard recently, the next sync took a long time, but worked fine. I installed the most recent OS update and now I can't sync the Calendar. The sync process starts, then I get a message that says there was an error during sync, to try it again. It goes ahead and syncs the Address Book just fine. Then I try syncing again. Same error message.
Oh, and another difference I notice now. When I connect my BB to my laptop, nothing happens. My computer doesn't acknowledge that a device has been connected. If I go into Applications and launch the Blackberry Desktop Software, the device suddenly shows up in my Finder window like always (all this used to happen automatically when I connected the Blackberry to the laptop).
Is it a coincidence that this is happening after I installed the most recent Snow Leopard update? Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a simple fix (I'm not terribly expert, so please keep instructions simple)? Thanks.

I've had the same problem. Apple chat representative said there's nothing to be done. They've designed the new calendar to not sync with Blackberry. They want everyone to buy an iPhone, too. I was told that there's no way to go back to the old iCal. In short, Apple rep was really uncooperative and did everything to defend Mac's decision to block out Blackberry. Needless to say, I was really disappointed in them. Considering going back to pc just because of this incident.

Nightmare with Blackberry Desktop and 8100 !!!

Hello,
I have been struggling since 2 full days in order to setup the synchronisation between my 8100 and the Blackberry Desktop Software working ... without success !
First, I have to say that this was working some weeks ago.
I was first with the Device Manager from Orange (fr) and the installation file : 8100M_PBr4.2.0_rel79_PL2.2.0.39_A4.2.0.67_Orange_FR.exe
and the Blackberry Desktop Software was the 7.1 version. So with this configuration, no UBS was recognized.
I tried to come back to an earlier version of BDS (4.5 multilingal). The USB connexion was OK and I was able to make a backup, but as I am using Outlook 2010, whan I tried to setup the synchronisation of the different applications (calendar, adress book, tasks), I got the following message : no available message store => nightmare !!!
If somebody has an idea, that will be great.
Thanks

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Good luck!

Sync Problems with Blackberry Curve 8310

I am also having a problem sync my new Blackberry Curve 8310. I previously had a Palm Treo 650. I was finally able to sync the contacts from my Palm to my Blackberry. I am assuming just like the Palm Treo software I can also view the contacts on my desktop, but I have not been able to view the contacts on the Blackberry Desktop Manager software. Where do I view this information, that I might have downloaded, there is now tab for the software that allows me to manager my contacts and my calender.
I use Outlook express for my emails is there any way I can make the Outlook Express the primary software on my desktop for managing my contacts and my calender and being able to sync to my Blackberry.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
DM is not like the Palm Desktop in that there is no set of visual organizers (calendar-contacts-tasks-memos) to see. DM serves to sync your data between the BB and another desktop application.
Here is a listing of the apps supported by the various versions of DM. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB12268&slic...
When I migrated over from my Treo 650, the Switch Device Wizard did not work. As a workaround, I sync'd my Palm with Outlook 2003. To do this I had to use the original cd that came with my Treo to change the conduits so the Palm Desktop sync'd with Outlook. Not sure if I needed to use the cd to do this, I think you can change those setting in Palm Desktop, but make sure to map the fields well so your data imports into Outlook as you want it. (The fields are a little different between Palm and Outlook). ALWAYS make sure you get a good sync of your Palm data before doing any of this. That way you'll have the data in the Palm Desktop as a backup.
Once I had the data sync'd to Outlook, I just had to set up the synchronization setting on DM to sync over to my BB.
Post back if you have any further questions. Let us know how it goes.

Blackberry 9900 will not connect with Blackberry Desktop (v 6 or v7). I am running Windows 7.

I am running Windows 7, and have a Blackberry Bold 9900. This has some music on but most importantly my work diary and contacts which I synchronise through Desktop. I also use it as an external modem and tether my PC through it if I’m somewhere with no wireless.
Yesterday, I did these things during the afternoon:
·         Connected a Bluetooth device to my PC (headphones)
·         Needed to load a series of drivers for Windows for this to work
·         Upgraded from Blackberry Desktop 6 to 7 (following prompt when connected)
·         Set up a Bluetooth connection between my Blackberry and PC.
The next time I connected:
·         On The Blackberry smartphone I got the normal Blackberry is plugged in message, with normal options (USB Drive / Sync Media / Charge Only), and software opened as usual
·         But I was prompted to Connect Your Blackberry Device (with link to troubleshoot connection). Clicking this, I was taken to a page which suggested I check the cable etc. (which I did, all OK) and “...turn off synchronization applications or antivirus applications temporarily”. I disabled Avast, which made no difference, and I don’t know what a “synchronization application” is
·         Other aspects of the connection are working (i.e. I can still download photographs from the Blackberry, and still see it as the ‘F:’ drive)
I therefore conclude that:
·         Cable / physical connection is good (also tried a different cable - no change)
·         Something I had changed had corrupted things, so:
·         Uninstalled Blackberry Desktop v7 and replaced with the version I had been using successfully until yesterday (v6)
·         Removed the Bluetooth connection to my Blackberry.
Made no difference, so checked Blackberry help forums, which confused me more. One thing which I did discover, was that in Device Manager, although Blackberry is visible attached to PC (and says it is working correctly), it DOES NOT appear in the list of Network Adapters (I don’t know if it did before, but one answer in the tech forum suggested this is significant – though not sure why or what to do about it)
Any help would be very welcome – been at this for ten hours now and making no progress!
Many thanks
Clive

This worked for me after several hours on the phone with Blackberry Support. I hope it works for you too:
Finally got it working again! Re-downloaded the desktop software (but when you start it up, make sure to uncheck the automatic update option). While that was downloading, I was instructed to go to microsoft.com and search for and download .NET Framework 3.5. Once you click to download that, there will be an offer to download 2 other items. One of which will be Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (Web Installer). Click to download that too. Once they are finished downloading, run both files. .Net Framework 4 Client Profile will take longer and will ask you if you want to repair or remove. Choose repair. The repair took several minutes, but once it was done, I clicked "Finish", opened the BB Desktop Software, UNCHECKED THE AUTO UPDATE OPTION, and plugged in my phone. Once windows finished installing the drivers, Low and behold! The Desktop software recognized that the phone was connected! I hope this helps you resolve your issue as well. When it again offered me an update I clicked to update later (meaning never!). Best of luck to you.

8130 Calendar sync problems with Outlook 2007

I have Sprint 8130...and all is okay...until today. I am used to Active sync (from my old HTC Mogul), not RIM software. When I sync'd a week ago, the first time, all was great (accept for the confusion I still have about where the inet explorer favorites went). Today, I plugged in for the second time. All seemed great, except that now most of my calendar items are no longer in Outlook. They are still in my Pearl, though.
I have tried to sync the other way, but to no avail. Ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So, that did not work, and I ended up on a differnt board where I found the answer....it is a known software glitch with DM since 12/07. It happens when you have multiple email addresses set up on your phone. It can work fine for weeks/months, then one day it just happens. It can happens no matter who your provider is. RIM still has not fixed the sofware issue (unless the Altel .81 fixed it...). It results from having 'multiple calendars' and only one syncing back to Outlook. The only way to fix the issue was the following:
a) Make certain Outlook is COMPLETELY up to date. Manually enter any calendar items on the BB which have not been synced over to Outlook.
b) On your BB, look at Calendar > Options > and you will see the different calendars available. Go back to the main calendar page and and press Menu, and you can view the calendars for each email profile. Decide which email profile you want your calendar entries to reside under, and which is your primary email address for this.
c) Go to Options > Advanced > Service Books. Highlight over AND delete the entries for ALL other email addresses other than your PRIMARY email address.
d) Go to Options > Advanced > Default Services, and make sure ONLY the one primary email you desire is listed there.
e) Now, connect your BB to your PC via USB, and open Desktop Manager.
f) Now, with your Outlook completely updated manually, do this:
1. Connect your BB via USB to your PC, and Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. You won't see anything in the left pane. In the right pane will be the databases currently on your handheld device.
4. Highlight on the right side your Address Book database (OR your Calendar database) and click the CLEAR button at the bottom of that screen.
5. After it's finished, close the Backup/Restore window, and check the device to make sure the address book (or Calendar) has properly cleared out.
6. Now, re-sync the necessary contact (or Calendar information) from Outlook (or your database) and you should be set to go.
g) With all that completed, and your calendar appearing in BB... remove the battery on your BB (powered ON) and reboot the BB. This should resend the Service Books for the other email addresses you had deleted earlier. If you find after an hour they are not back, resend the service books from your carrier BIS site.
h) return to Options > Advanced > Default Services and make sure your primary email is still the default email. You want to leave your primary showing in the screen, and save.
I hope this might help some other people. THere is talk about all Calendar syncing issues eing related to this issue (except obvious user issues like not syncing all appointments).
Thanks for you time yesterday.
