Cannot Download Desktop Software for PC - 404 Error!

Hi All - I have tried to use the Feedback option for the Web Admin but my emails keep bouncing because the RIM system seems to think my feedback does not fit via email. So, here is the message I was trying to send in to RIM to help get to the bottom of this. Anyone feel free to pipe up and let me know what is going on or offer some suggestions... I'm totally open to anyone's help at this point. Thanks!

Subject: 404 Error - BB Desktop for PC Download
Hi There,
I am attempting to download the desktop application for PC (v7.0.0 B60) via:

I get the “HTTP 404 Not Found” when I click on the <Download> button on the page. The Browser I am using is IE 8. When I used Chrome to try this download, the 404 error came up and displayed the following HTTP path with the error:

Can you please let me know if this is a BB RIM website issue?
FYI – I can get the downloader to start downloading the MAC .dmg file without a problem. Thanks for your help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Interesting...well, I am downloading it right now with no 404, which would I think rule out a problem at the RIM webisite end. So, the only thing I can think of is that there is something in your internet routing that is somehow blocking it. Maybe you should start over from this point:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
I was also going to comment that RIM does not yet support Desktop Software 7.x, but that seems to have changed sometime today!
Good luck!

Cannot download Desktop Software for my BB Bold 9780 (while for older versions I can).

Dear respected community members, I have and still love my old BB Bold 9780, but alas do not have a desktop software for it, while for an older one the Curve 8520, I could completely download. Anyone of the respected community members, provide me with a way out ? So that I may download a desktop software manager for my BB BOLD 9780. Thank you very much indeed. Harro

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The desktop software is the desktop software...it does not care the device model you have. Download it from the same location:http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.htmlGood luck!

Error when trying to download Desktop Software for my 8700g

Hi Folks,
I am new to blackberry and these forums.
I have a 8700g. I am trying to download the 4.2 desktop software and after filling up the form i get this error.
You don't have permission to access "http://swdownload-us.rim.com.edgesuite.net/swdownloads/Desktop%20Software%20v4.2%20SP2%20(English).exe?" on this server.
Not sure wht could be the reason. Any inputs are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. I cleared cache and it allows me to download now. Funny how I didnt think of it.
However, that brings me to another question. I can download OS 4.5 but then I will need the same version for my phone. How can I upgrade it ? I have an unlocked phone from T-Mobile.
As last time my phone had 4.2 and the desktop software was 4.1 it crashed the blackberry's software and i had to re-install. On T-Mobile site I did not find the 4.5 version for my 8700. I would however like to upgrade without the hassle of re-installing the entire thing again.
Thanks.

Hi...
You can update your Desktop Manager to 4.5 or 4.6. You don't need to update your software on the Blackberry Handheld. Only if you want to use the newer features of the 4.5.0.81 which will work on the 8700g. If your carrier has not published the 4.5 Handheld OS, remember you will not get any support if you need to call your carriers Helpdesk and are running an OS that is currently not supported.

Can't download Desktop Software for windows

I had installed Desktop Software v.7.0 a few months ago but it kept freezing when syncing wiht my BB Curve 8300, so I decided to disinstall it and try to re-install.
Now each time I try to install the software from RIM website https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22the the process stops because it claims that there is a previous version installed on my pc and it cannot be overrun. I can't find any file from DS V7.0 in my computer and I need a Desktop Software!!!

Cannot download updated software for I Phone 3GS

When I try to download iOS5 software update to my I Phone 3GS l get a network timed out message . Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

Disable the antivirus and firewall software on your PC. If you are running kaspersky, you may have to remove it entirely. It can interfere with the update process.

Cannot download BIOS file for Portege Z930 - error 404

Hi,
My tempro tool says there is a new BIOS available for my Portege Z930.
But the link gives nothing.
Can someone fix this ? Or have the correct link
Thank you
Markus

+1 This is very frustrating. Tempro alerts are all very well but no use at all if Toshiba can't be bothered to maintain links!
Please fix asap, Toshiba.

Where to find desktop software for Tungsten E to download on new Macbook Pro OSX

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
You may need to do a clean uninstall but I would try a simple uninstall and reinstall of Palm software on your PC first. Be sure your device is disconnected from your computer for this process. Open your Control Panel on your PC and then go to Add/ Remove Programs. Remove the Palm (or PalmOne software). Once that is done go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html to download and install Palm Desktop.
Hopefully this resolves the issue but if it doesn't let me know. Also, contact me if you have any further questions or concerns about anything.

Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

Hi,
I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
but all the time i am getting the following error.
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
pls help me to downgrade my device.
I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
Regards
Ram

You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

When trying to download and update the operating system software for my iPad and iPod I get the following message - "ERROR MESSAGE" There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad "Mikki's iPad". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again. later." Is this a setting on my computer - my network is working fine. I didn't have any trouble before but have just started having trouble. Please help...

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?
