Hey davidives21,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try force detection when reloading the device software, this is how: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10144

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • G5 startup light flashes 3 times then after a pause flashes 3 times etc.

    I have a Power Mac G5 1.6 GHz which froze today. I had to shut it down by pressing and holding the startup button. Now when I try to restart it by pushing the startup button the light on the startup button flashes 3 times then after a short pause it flashes 3 times again and this repeats over and over. The chimes don't play and the screen doesn't light up. I tried pushing the Cuda/ PMU but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Wow. I have been having the EXACT same problems as the threadstarter. About 2 weeks ago it froze, and from tips i read here in the forums, tried switching around my RAM sticks. For a while it worked. Then i broke off one of the end snap-in bracket holders. So now i lost an entire row (two, technically) of available RAM. Anyhow, it still would perform random starts each time i switched RAMs around. Then 4 days ago it just plain would NOT start up at all. The stupid little three flashes taunting me.
    So i ran up to the local Target, bought me a hair dryer. Toasted up the area around the RAM brackets and whaddya know!!! It WORKED! What planet am i on when a nine dollar Conair Salon Series can repair a $3,000 PowerMac. I dunno, but i'll take it!
    My only follow up question would be: Is this just a cheesy temporary fix? Should i expect it to NOT boot after my next shutdown? Should i plan to have my hair-dryer in my studio now and expect to need to warm it up every time now? (In other words, can i return the hair-dryer or should i hang on to it? )
    Thanks again... you guys are geniuses!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your description, perhaps TMO has changed the method you need to do this? Have you contacted them, as per the information provided to you? After all, it's a TMO system you are attempting to interact with, is it not?
    Good luck!

  • Calendar does not sync with BB curve 8520

    I have a BB Curve 8520 and every time I sync my device with my laptop, while my address book does get synced with Outlook, my calendar does not get updated. The desktop software shows Calendar (not installed). 
    I have un-installed and reinstalled my desktop software but this issue continues. 
    Any suggestions or advice please? 
    Thanks in advance... 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:

  • Upon startup, screen flashes several times... asked to restart or shutdown

    When I turn on my Mac pro, the Apple 30" cinema flashes several times, then once the computer boots up I dialog box appears asking me to shut down, restart, sleep mode or cancel which I click on, the dialog box keeps reappearing. I restarted the computer several times the same thing happens. I unplugged the computer and restarted the problem went away, is this normal or has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned and contact Apple?

    Have you run any hardware test on the computer? It might tell you that the graphics card has a problem or that it may be something else that needs to be reset. If you find nothing abnormal, then you should probably contact Apple.

  • Curve 8520 not syncing OK with OUTLOOK 2007 - Time Zone problems

    I have a BB Curve 8520 with OS 5.0.0.136
    BB Desktop Manager is Version 7.1.0.33
    Desktop PC OS is WINDOWS 7
    MS Office OUTLOOK 2007
    Time for W7 set to automatic internet update
    Time zone for W7/Outlook2007: (-3) Buenos Aires
    Time for BB 8520 set to MANUAL (same time as W7 set manually - No network time update)
    Manually set BB Time Zone: (-3) Buenos Aires (No auto time zone update)
    I do not travel anywhere where I may need automatic time zone change.
    The Desktop is set not to sync time from BB with the Desktop PC time.
    I set up an appointment in OUTLOOK 2007 at 08:00 hs. When I sync calendar (biderectionally) with the BB, the appointment in BB appears one hour late => 09:00 hs.
    If I set an appointment in BB (say 09:00) and sync calendar, it appears in OUTLOOK 2007 one hour ahead (08:00)
    If I set BB Time Zone to (-4) Santiago, then both appointment times are the same.
    Any clue as to how to solve this strange behavior will be most welcome!
    With BB AND DESKTOP PC times equal, and both BB AND DESKTOP PC Time Zone set to the same (say (-3) Buenos Aires), appointment times should be the same in the BB and the Desktop PC.

    Morning.
    Let's try this.  Read through this thread.  You probably have a corrupt record somewhere in your calendar.

  • FAST REFRESH OF MV IS TAKING MORE TIME THEN COMPLETE REFRESH IN PRODUCTION

    We have production enviroment in which FAST REFRESH OF MV IS TAKING MORE TIME THEN COMPLETE REFRESH. Can you tell me what are the differences between this refreshes?
    Regards,
    RJ.

    Sure:
    create table emp (id number(9));
    Table created.
    SQL> alter table emp add primary key (id);
    Table altered.
    create materialized view log on emp;
    Materialized view log created.
    create materialized view emp_mv as select * from emp;
    Materialized view created.
    Complete refresh:

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    Fast Refresh:
    SQL> exec dbms_snapshot.refresh('EMP_MV','F');

    This is the basic setup. There are many more options to the create materialized view statement, just FYI.

  • I have an iphone 3gs, when I try to connect to my home wi-fi the phone goes thru the motions, finds the network but can't lock it in.  The check mark next to the network flashes a few times then the phone goes serching again and the same thing happens.

    I have an Iphone 3gs wi-fi problem.  When I try to access my home wi-fi network the phone looks for the network, finds it, but cannot lock it in.  The check mark flashes a few times then the phone tries again to connect.  This only happens with my home wi-fi.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.  I have re-booted the phone and the router without any luck.

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

  • Curve 8520 starts loading the bar halfway then stops

    I was just using whatsapp before this and it was going very slow and then when I would click on whatsapp, there would be a message saying uncaught exception or something like that so then I pulled the battery out and it never started properly after that but would just load the bar about 2/3 of the way and then stop.
    I've tried charging it, it was fully charged before though and I've left it out the whole night and it still isn't working?
    It's a Curve 8520 with OS v.5

  • My Curve 8520 stops working

    Hello,
    My Blackberry smartphone curve 8520 stops working. I can't call or ping. It has given me the message to reload software 552. Even my service provider can't help me. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

    Hi
    I'm sure we can help
    This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
    If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
    I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
    Get the latest Desk Top Software (DTS)
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
    and install it on the computer.
    Get the correct latest version of the OS
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    and save it to computer.
    If the PC does not recognize the BB, You need to connect the via the USB cable. Then pull the battery from the BB.
    With the battery pulled, connect the BlackBerry to the USB connector and as SOON as you see USB-PIN:UNKNOWN hit Next. You have to be quick. From there you can put the battery back in (make sure you install the battery or else when the OS update is completing and the device disconnects from the computer to reboot, it will lose the power provided by the USB connection and you will get an error and have to do it all over again!).
    If you don't get it right the first time, try again (unplug from USB, pull battery, connect and hit Next while USB-PIN:Unknown is showing). You have to be fast and the timing is key, so it may take you three or four attempts.
    To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps.
    1) Download JL_Cmder from http://www.4shared.com/get/oqP9V-2Q/JL_Cmder_v19.html
    2) Install JL_Cmder to computer.
    3) Double check you have already backed-up the BB. If you DO NOT, you will lose ALL data.
    4) Make sure the DTS is closed and plug in the BB to computer via USB
    5) Go to the JL_Cmder on your computer and double click it to start. Now,this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.
    6) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.
    7) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"
    8) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE
    9) Press "Y" to continue
    10) Now type "blackberry" to continue
    11) On the BB you will see a white screen with a'507' Error. Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.
    Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
    1). On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Device > Update my device.
    2). Click View Other Versions. Click the version of the new OS you previously downloaded.
    3). Click Install. The DTM will install the OS and then provide you with a list of applications to install. If you have had difficulties with an app, do not install it.
    Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
    After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
    Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

  • BB Curve 8520 sync w/ Lotus Notes 6.5

    I am helping out a co-worker.
    He is using the BB Curve 8520 and would like to be able to sync his calendar. We don't have the BB Enterprise server (yet). We use Lotus Notes 6.5 as our email client.
    When we connect the phone via the USB, go into DM it sees the phone. I can sync the contacts w/out issue. However, anytime I try to sync the calendar it shuts down DM and gives the general "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." But all the times I try, there is never a solution.
    When speaking with this user, he mentioned that there were a couple of others that were experiencing the same thing.
    When the DM was orig installed on the computer it would sync for approx 1 week, but then stopped working. If DM is uninstalled, and reinstalled, it will work for approx 1 week again. This is not a suitable option to uninstall & reinstall every week.
    The users have various versions of MS Windows (XP Pro upto 7 Pro), and all have the latest version of DM from the BB site.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Has anyone else had this happen? Or are we the only ones?
