Desktop Manager 5.0 searches for device upgrades

Hi...yesterday, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to upgrade the Desktop Manager from 4.5. I started by upgrading to 4.7and I let it "check for upgrades." When it finished, it found 5.0,so, I upgraded again to 5.0--again, letting it check for upgrades. It found some upgrades that weren't real--and RIM tech support walked me through reinstalling the OS, which also deleted all data on my BB but not the 3rd party apps that were installed. So, I re-entered data and today, I've got things up and running just fine. Also,the Desktop Manager works just fine, synchronizing with Outlook and making backups.
I've begun to find this "checking for updates" behavior annoying, so, I read here and found that I can modify the installation from Add/Remove Programs (I'm using XP, SP3). I made the change (set "check for updates" to "not installed on this computer" and removed the check from the box on the final screen), and then I rebooted the computer.
The "check for updates" link no longer appears in the BB Desktop Manager, BUT, each time I plug in my device, it checks for Device updates. Is there some way to stop this truly annoying behavior? I'm guessing that my actions stopped Desktop Manager from checking for updates to itself but not to the device and I can't find any options to turn off this behavior.
Thanks!!

Issues are resolved when software is doing something that is not inherent to its purpose. This is a prime purpose of DTM.
That you don't want it to check for device updates does not constitute it being a software bug/issue.

Desktop Manager freezes when looking for device app. updates

I NEED to use the Desktop Manager because I want to remove apps from my 8130 that I believe are bogging my phone down and causing it to act wierd (like Yahoo Messenger!) So I connect my phone, click on DM. Instantly a gray box comes up saying "Searching for device application updates. Please wait." It runs and runs and never does anything. I allowed it to go for 20 minutes one time just to see if I was just being too impatient, but still nothing. I click "Cancel" and DM goes into "Not Responding".
I have repeated this cycle several times... decided maybe it was the software (v4.7) and went to do an uninstall. It goes to compute system space and comes back with a 1606 error, something to do with "network something or other". So I cannot even UNINSTALL it!
What gives? I have noticed several others says they have had problems with 4.7 crashing their computer, which hasn't happened to me yet... but has anyone else had what I just described happened to them. And if so, what did you do to fix it?

Possibly...but if the issues wind up being intermingled (as they so often do), then having them separated becomes confusing. The way these forums work is that there are many of us here volunteering in our spare time to help out. And that means needing to have clean hand-offs of information so that anyone can pick up from another (since, for instance, I need to dash out right about now...someone else will need to pick up). If one post here only has a subset of the total story, someone picking it up here will have no way to realize that other things were tried in another thread. The key for each OP is to keep it to one thread unless and until it can be determined that things should be split -- and then we can have the mods do that if we need it. For your issues, while it's so new and in the initial diagnosis stages, keeping it in one place would be cleaner.
BTW -- all of that is merely IMHO. I have no "power" over what anyone here does. I'm just a volunteer.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

I installed Elements 12 because my version of Photoshop (CS5.1) is not compatible with Yosemite. Now the Adobe Application Manager will not search for updates for any of the programs in CS5.5 that I have. How do I fix this?

HT3887 I am trying to pair my iphone 4 to my 2011 Kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any. My computer can find my phone but my phone can not find my computer.

No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I cannot get my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth pair with any device - it is continually searching for devices

I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).

Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.

After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site? The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
Unfortunately not.

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices in jeep hand free

I paired the iphone 3g to my jeep "u conect" hands free, it paired ok but every time I go out of the car the iphone will never be available, tried a different phone and my car system work great, how can i fix the Bluetooth continuing to search for devices and will not conect to the car system

What year is your Jeep? There are a couple of other threads here regarding chyrsler (and other ) vehicles not connecting with phones that have software version 2.0 or higher.
As best as I can tell, it affects 2007 and later chrysler vehicles with Uconnect but not the MyGig system (supposedly there is a patch that you can use to update the MyGig software that may or may not work).
I spoke with an apple tech support person and he couldn't help. They didn't have anything in his help files to fix the problem and he actually turned to the message boards to get more info.
That being said, like someone else said, take the time to fill out some feed back.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If you look at the rest of the bluetooth forum...there are tons of blue tooth issues out there. Might speculate that the only way to make the chrysler issue a priority is to make yourself heard. I personally don't know if there is a better method than the above feedback tool. But, if there is, I'd like to know.
If you are 2006 and earlier...according to others on here, you should be able to get it to work.

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices

I have a new Jawbone headset which has paired fine with my iPhone 3G. However, the "Devices" status is continuing to spin in search of other bluetooth devices and won't stop. I'm concerned this will kill my battery. My assumption was that after pairing with the headset, it would stop searching.
Any ideas on how to get it to stop searching for devices?
Thanks.

It searches for discoverable devices +while you are in Settings > General > Bluetooth+, and for a brief period of time after that. It does not continue after that and will not drain your battery. Of course, if you go to Settings > General > Bluetooth to check, it will start searching - sort of like checking to see if the fridge light is off by opening the door.

Bluetooth constantly searching for devices

When I (successfully) connect my BT headset, the iPhone seems to be constantly still searching for devices.
Is that normal? It seems to run away with battery power.

I'm assuming it only searches when you have the BT settings page open.
Once you close it the search will stop...(hopefully)

Desktop Manager can't find my device

I'm using Desktop Manaer v5.0 with a Curve 8530. Yesterday I sync'd my organizer data without a problem. Today I used Media Sync to upload some recordings to the device (via Windows Media). Desktop Manager recognized the device but also informed me there was an upgrade for Media Sync, so I accepted it. After the upgrade I sync'd my media with no problem.
But then, after disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, Desktop Manager was unable to find the device. I've tried all the USB ports and I used the Windows "Restore Previous Version" feature to restore the previous version of Media Sync. But it still can't recognize my device.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
- Jeff

Oops! I neglected to try a reboot ... that fixed it. (It's not like I'm new to Windows - I should have tried that before posting.)
So nevermind.

Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working @ Processing Device Calendar During Sync Process

I have a BB 8330 and have an annoying issue....it sync'd with MS Outlook for about 2 months after i got it then I started getting an error inthe sync process "Blackberry Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working, Windows is shutting it Down"....this always happens at the exact same point inthe sync process..."Processing Device Calendar".
I've done everything, Verizon tech support...BB tech support...uninstall/reinstall...nothing has fixed it. I even deleted everything out of outlook and started over. The odd thing is that everything EXCEPT the calendar will sync....it's just when it gets to the "processing device calendar" is stops syncing and I get the 'DM Has stopped working' error and it closes.
I am going to scream if I can't get this fixed...it's been going on since last October!!
Any fixes out there?

Hmm. That may be something in your calendar database is corrupt. Was your device ever synched before? There is a way of clearing the calendar database. So if you have your device synching with Outlook, after it's cleared from the BlackBerry, you could try synching again.
To clear the calendar database you can go into Desktop Manager | Backup and Restore | Advanced. On the right hand side select the calendar database and hit the Clear button. Afterwards try synching again
