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.

Solved!
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 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't get the software to work with Audigy 2

    Hi, I have had my Audigy 2 ZS going on a year now and haven't had any problems. I recently made a clean install of Windows XP and upgraded to SP2 and all that. Now, I can get sound out of the card but can't get the software to work at all; cannot get the volume slider bar to appear when I click the icon (it appears in the task bar though and I get a small gray square where the slider should appear), the surround mixer does not show when I double click the volume icon, EAX conxole is a no go, get an empty error box when I try to start the Equaliser.
    I have tried everything from simple re-install to clean sweep to praying to the pagan gods. I have alsoo tried updating the drivers of course.
    I run XP on an Intel MoBo (on-boeard sound deactivated), 52RAM, ATI 9700 ALL-IN-WONDER.
    DOES THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE DEPEND ON ANY WEIRD LITTLE WINDOWS SERVICE OR SETTING THAT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED DURING SETUP?
    This is quite infuriating as any idea I come up with takes up a lot of time in installation, uninstallation and clean up. It worked before, why not now?
    Thanks in advance. dentore

    Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
    For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
    CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

  • How can I get my iphone5s to show up in my mac finder

    How can I get my iphone to show up in my finder.

    you know this is mac Pro forum, right? Okay, assuming you have synched up your iphone 5s with itunes, it will show up there under devices.  If you double click on your hard drive, and look  at the window that has opened up there, you will see past "Favorites", past 'Devices" there you will see "Shared" and there your iphone should show up." it will not appear on your desktop as a removeable storage device, at least that's been my experience

  • How can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

    how can i get music to not show up on my phone that i dont want there

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

  • How can I get my POP account showing in the inbox it's supposed to show in?

    Hi-Until a couple of weeks ago all mail received from my IMAP and POP accounts would show up in the correct mailboxes in my Mail inbox list. (Only problem then was that sent mail would never show up in the sent mail folder--always stayed in the inbox.)
    Now a new problem has happened----unless I go directly to my charter cable account (P0P account) to retrieve any mail sent to that particular address, the mail goes unnoticed by Mail on my MAC and nothing shows up in the inbox. But--- If I do a test to myself , sending an email to the POP address from my IMAP account from my MAcMAil, my IMAP account will show the email in the inbox of the IMAP account I sent it from as if I'd mailed it to that account. How can I get my POP account showing in the Inbox? And, any suggestions for a fix to getting the "sent" mail to show in the "sent" folder would also be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Control click in the tool bar area and customize.

  • How can I get my library to show on a different computer?

    My own laptop is broken. I can use another laptop to access my iTunes account. That laptop already has its own iTunes account, but that doesn't have all my songs on, so I'd like to access my own iTunes library. I can sign in to iTunes on this laptop, I have authorised this laptop for my account, but i still can't get my library to show up on here. I can get my library to show up on my iPad mini, but i can't sync to my daughter's iPod nano as there are enough songs in my library to fill an iPod Classic. I don't think i can sync from an iPad mini anyway? Is there any way that I can either check certain songs on my iPad mini, but not all of them, so that i can sync my daughter's iPod nano on my iPad mini, or that I can get my own library to show up on this laptop rather than the other, pre-existing library?

    Is the Laptop Mac or PC?
    What version of OS X(if Mac)/Windows(if PC) and iTunes do you have on your laptop?
    Do you have a iCloud acount?
    Have you enabled "Home Sharing" on iTunes?
    Do you use a USB cable to sync music on iPad?

  • HT5306 I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? compatibility issues with wh

    Hello:
    Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
    Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries.  compatibility issues with what?

    Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
    If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
    Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

    How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    What specific information would you need?  The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit  some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore.  It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel. 

  • Can't get a hole to show up in this shape! Advice?

    I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Vista 64.
    I've been using Illustrator for years, but this one thing always stumps me. I have a shape (the letter R) that I need to put a hole in. It is made of a photo trimmed into a compound shape. In the Pathfinder tool I can't get the Expand option to activate.
    Here is a screenshot:

    I have tried everything I can think of and can't get the hole to show up! I'm sure it must be obvious, but what am I missing?? I've been trying to use the Pathfinder tool; I need to learn to retain this trick. *sheesh*
    Thank you all for reading this - any help you could give would be most awesome!

    Hi Sue...not Steve here...
    You don't need to lock the image first, but it can aid in not selecting it for a bit.
    Lock the image.
    Create a rectangle covering the whole image.
    Place the shape, or text, for the hole you want onto the image.
      If text, make it an outline.
    Select both shapes or the rectangle that is over the entire image and the object you want to produce the "hole" in the image with and make a Compound Path (Object > Compound Path > Make or Cmd+8 or Ctrl+8).
    Unlock the image and select both the image and the compound path, then make a mask (Object > Clipping Mask > Make or Cmd+7 or Ctrl+7).
    Take care, Mike
