Can't get Desktop Software configured properly to work with Outlook 2007 and Blackberry 8703E

I have a Blackberry 8703E and I have Outlook 2007 on my laptop. I keep trying to install the Desktop software but don't know what option to choose, how to configure it to recognize Outlook, etc. My goal is to be able to sync my contacts, appointments, tasks, etc. between the laptop and my Blackberry. I have no clue what I am doing or how to install and configure the software to work.
Also, I am going to uninstall the Desktop software and want to know what the link is to download the most current version that will work with my phone and my laptop (running Vista). I do not subscribe to the Blackberry service but only want to sync between my computer and the phone.
PLEASE HELP! I am not knowledgeable in this stuff and any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!

Don't know if you got your answer by now, but thought I'd try to help.
First, let me preface by saying I use Vista, not XP, but my Outlook is 2007.
Next, you need to be careful as to which versions of the software you use both (a) on your Blackberry desktop and (b) on your Blackberry itself. For example, I use the 8703e via Verizon, but so far the phone's software only goes up to 4.2, which is two iterations short of Blackberry's latest smartphone software. Why do they do this? Because they typically introduce the new software via a new phone via an "exclusive" with a certain carrier, leaving all other users to either salivate or switch to the "exclusive" carrier. Over time (6 months to a year) the "new" software may get rolled out to patient users with (by then) "older" phones, but they clearly want to incentivize consumers to just upgrade to new phones via special carriers.
As for the Desktop software, it is easy to get tripped up here, as Blackberry's download site in not very intuitive for this. Your problem could be that you downloaded and installed a Blackberry Desktop Software that is too advanced a version for your phone. (To add further confusion, the desktop software tends to have version numbers similar to the the phone software, such as "4.2.")
Bottom line: call your help number of your carrier to get the correct info for both sets of software for your phone.
Once all the right software/drivers are installed, the Desktop interface si fairly user-friendly. From a few choices you can backup your Blackberry data; synchronize it (if you are not already doing that wirelessly), etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
An OCR software i integrated within the HP Scan Software.
Within the Applications folder locate the Hewlett-Packard folder and launch the HP Scan software.
Once completing the scan you may select RTF or TXT files which will save the scan by processing OCR.
If you do not have the HP Scan software installed be sure to install the following software by checking the HP Scan option during the installation:

I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint

Hi!
So it seem's that I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint. I got it to send out it's own Wi-Fi signal, and i get in touch with that signal on my iPad 3. But when I wan't to print something out from Pages, then it says that it can't find any airprinters.
I tried to update the firmware several times, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to what I can do?

Hey T-racer,
As a work-around you can also use the HP eprint method which is available with your printer. The application (HP Home & Biz) is available for free in the apple catalogue.
You can find more info on it here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03128518&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4110396&tmp_track_link=ot_search
It shares many of the same capabilities of airprint but is a different program/feature.
If you have any questions, just ask!

Can't get the Toslink (Optical) out to work with Airport Express

I have the monster cable hooked up but get no optical out. I hooked up the mini plug to RCA and that works but the optical doesn't. Is there a setting I'm missing. I know the cable is working because I hooked it up to my mini computer and get the red light coming out the end. I don't get any light from the airport expess mini plug to Toslink.

Same problem here. Just bought an optical cable with the mini toslink connector (to work with the express and computers). I can get audio if I connect the cable to my computer, but no audio from the express. Regular analog audio comes out fine, but I cannot get the optical to work.
I can't find any preference or setting to change and have tried resetting the base station. Anyone have an idea?

How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard? This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers. HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed. These drivers fill the gap.
You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package. They are all on the HPIJS web page. Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer. You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer. After that it works great. And it also works on Lion.

Can't get Desktop software to show on PC :(

Hi - I've just "upgraded" my previous BB from the older wide style to the 7130v and am now trying to setup the Desktop software so I can transfer some ringtones to it. I downloaded the file from the phone supplier's site (Vodafone) and it seemed to run okay but all it did ultimately was to setup the software on the phone itself - I never got any icon or folder on my PC to run the desktop component. There were a load of other files that were of various versions, but no info on which one I should be downloading, so I'm presuming I need one of them but no idea which. Site is at: Blackberry Vodafone: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=1141938BA2C2B13F5505D7C424EBAE5F
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the right software perhaps? Thanks.

Go to Solution.

That's my problem - it's not showing up in the Programs nor in the folder I installed it from, which is why I'm stumped as to how to get it show itself! Really frustrating. Even in the D&S/Application Data folder it only has a couple of entries for Loader history but no actual Loader in there either It never actually asked me where I wanted to install the program anyway, if memory serves me right, just went ahead and started connecting to the phone and updating the software, which is why I'm assuming it's the wrong program perhaps?

Can't get Desktop Software to link up with Curve 8330

All the following is from running Win XP in VirtualBox.
When I hook up my Curve 8330 to the computer via USB the computer recognizes it: I'm asked to enter the Cuve's password, the Blackberry Device Manager pops up in the task bar to tell me that the Curve is connected and I can even browse the device via Explorer, but when I open the Blackberry Desktop Software (6.1.0.35) it just endlessly says it's "Connecting" without ever actually connecting. Also, when I hook it up, the Curve's screen very briefly goes to the white "Connected to Desktop" splash before returning to normal. Mass storage mode is turned on.
Please, if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated; I've had some close calls recently and need to backup my numbers and data. I can't find any posts with people having similar problems.
Curve 8330

Hello Atimkelly,
First check your default services on the device under Options, Device, Advanced System Settings, default services.
If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
Cheers.

You can't; there's no Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro. If you just bought the display, try to swap it for the standard 27" LED display with the mini display port connector (that assumes your Mac Pro is a 3,1 or later, which has a mini display port).

Can't get Zip or Jaz Drive to work with PB G4 OS 10.4.7

Hi All,
Please help if possible. I recently upgraded from a PB 3400/G3, "Kanga" to a PB G4. When I used my Kanga I saved tons of files and pictures to my Iomega SCSI 1G Jaz and 100M Zip drives. I would like to transfer all this stuff to my PB G4 but nothing I have tried works...
I:
- purchased a Iomega SCSI to USB converter for my JAZ. When it is hooked up to my PB G4, after what seems like 100 years (actually about 7 minutes) it shows up on the desktop. Then after another 7 minutes it opens. Then after another 7 minutes the folder I select opens. And so on and so on. I get scared that I'm screwing up the OS...and tired of waiting so I quit the whole thing.
- purchased a USB Iomega Zip which never shows up on the desktop, does not show up in the System Profiler, and does not show up in the Disk Utility. It doesn't matter if the disk is in the Zip before the computer is turned on or inserted later.
- read FAQs on the Iomega site and tried most of their suggestions (check that on/off switch is in the on position, power on, cables connected, etc.) including remove Iomega driver (or whatever it is) and reinstall.
The one thing I have not tried is to remove the Iomega files from the system manually and then reinstall the software. I am a long time user of a Mac, but OS 10 is a mystery to me and I'm deathly afraid of removing files I need. What are the Iomega files and where are they located? Do I remove them from OS 9 and OS 10 or just from OS 10?
Oh, I forgot...I read a lot of Apple discussion items talking about removing some Adaptec files but I think they were just for PowerMac users.
What this all boils down to is, does anyone know how I can get my Zip and Jaz drives to work on my PB G4's? As you can tell, I move forward very slowly and giving up my trusted Kanga is a big step for me I'd like to be able to move between my Kanga and G4s for a while longer.
Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read thru all this stuff and provide suggestions.
Powerbook G4, 15", 1.25GHz and PB G4, 12', 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

USB and Firewire Zip and Jazz drives exist which work with Mac OS X a lot better than SCSI. I would suggest selling the old SCSI one to someone who can better use it, and get yourself more up to date drives:

Can I get my SCSI Nikon scanner to work with my PowerBook?

I have a Nikon LS-2000 SCSI scanner and I wondered if there was a way to get it to work with my G4 PowerBook. I have a USB-SCSI cable (Microtech USB-SCSI-HD50) but the computer doesn't recognize the scanner when it's plugged in. It could be a driver issue (I've downloaded drivers for OS9/Classic but still no joy).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Oliver.

Hi, okrimpas. I have the same scanner, but fortunately I also have an OS 9-bootable desktop Mac to connect it to. The problems you confront in using yours with your Powerbook are:
a) There is no OS X-native version of the Nikon Scan driver that supports the LS-2000.
b) The OS 9 version of Nikon Scan that supports the LS-2000 requires that the computer on which it's installed be booted into OS 9, not running OS 9 in Classic mode, because...
c) ...in Classic mode, OS 9 and any drivers installed for its use have no direct access to the computer's own hardware or any peripheral hardware: OS X always retains exclusive control of all hardware functions, even when Classic is being used. So the OS 9 Nikon Scan driver can't function unless the computer is booted into OS 9...
d) ...which your Powerbook can't do.
Hamrick Software's VueScan driver, combined with your SCSI-to-USB adapter or a SCSI PC Card adapter like Adaptec's old PowerDomain Slim SCSI 1480 and its Mac OS X driver, might enable you to connect the scanner to your Powerbook and use it natively in OS X. VueScan is a thoroughly professional driver and scanning interface, but it comes at a cost, and if your SCSI-USB adapter doesn't work out, the Slim SCSI 1480 will be an additional cost. For less than the combined cost of VueScan and the Adaptec card, you could buy an old Mac to use as a scanning station running OS 9. If you're hoping instead to carry the LS-2000 with you and have a portable scanning station, the VueScan option may the only one you have.
