Desktop manager for mac will not read the memory card

I have a Storm and the desktop manager does everything correctly except it will not recognize the media card for music.  It says "please insert a media card in your device."  Ive got the 8GB microSD card and it shows up in the phone memory but i cant load any music from my computer.

OK, I spent an hour and a half on the phone with RIM support this morning trying to fix this very thing with SUCCESS!!!  Here is what you need to do.  Keep in mind that this fix can only be done on a PC and NOT a Mac.  Sucks, but its reality.  Click on the link below and make sure that the PC your doing this on has the BB desktop manager installed on it.  I went to my dads house and used his PC.  After the tech and I learned that the DM has to be installed before you start the fix we were able to resolve the problem and the DM on the mac recognizes the media card.  I'm also able to see the BB1 and BB2 icons on the desktop now so I can drag and drop if I want.  I hope this helps you all.  If you need additional help with this please ask.  I may not be the most tech savy person here but I may be able to help a little.  Here you go:
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE DESKTOP MANAGER IS INSTALLED ON THE PC YOUR USING FIRST.  I ONLY INSTALLED THE ENGLISH VERSION WITHOUT MEDIA SYNCH (to reduce download size and time)  AND IT WORKED GREAT.

Follow the directions to the tee and it should work fine. 
PS:  If you have problems with your blackberry and you cant find the fix here or on CB call your carrier tech support.  If they cant resolve they are pretty quick at getting RIM on the case and resolving without you getting charged for it.  Verizon was helpful at that and when I spoke with BB tech support they were extremely helpful.  I was very impressed.
I hope this helps all of you with this problem.  Good luck out there!!!!

  • Desktop Manager for Mac WILL NOT SYNC

    I have tried several times to synce my contacts and calander with my Curve.  It times out every time. Says a sync error has occured. Thats it no other message except to try again later. Which I did 12 times and it still won't work.  Any advice? This is driving me crazy. Thanks.

    You provide absolutely no information to provide any assistance...do you want us to guess?  We need mac, mac OS, device, device OS...etc.  My guess is you installed the DM incorrectly (which it seems many do as the instructions are non-existent).  You need to rid the mac of ALL traces of any sync software you have used...ever(including DM).  Likely you will have to reset sync services on your mac.  After that is done...empty the trash, restart your mac, run repair permissions and reload DMFM.

  • Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki><br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

  • BB Curve 9220 not reading the memory card

    Hello,
    I have a Blackberry Curve 9220
    v7.1.0.746 , Platform 9.50.0.80
    1 week ago I was using this phone and that time i didnt have a memory card in this device. I opened wechat and it showed either to insert memory card or to disable usb mass storage in this device. I didnt have a memory card that time, so, i tried todisable the usb mass storage and I did that.
    Today, I inserted a memory card in this device, it shows that "Media Card is presently not inserted in this device"
    When I searched the internet I got some solutions. They showed that to enable mass storage mode and check media card support on.
    I turned Media Support set to ON.
    I have made sure that the media card is formatted and inserted properly.
    BUT
    When i pressed the option (BB Logo key) button , it didnt show the option to enable  usb mass storage. It just showed these options : "Switch app" ,"Select Text" , "Save" , "Help" , "Close".
    There is no option to enable usb mass storage and it is not reading the memory card
    Please tell me what to do !
    Thankyou

    Hi Manabb04
    Enable or disable USB mass storage mode
    If you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer using a USB cable but does not appear as a drive on your computer, you may need to activate the USB mass storage.
    On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon. 
    Click Device> Storage.
    Press  > Enable USB mass storage.
    If necessary, type the password for the smartphone.
    Your smartphone appears as a drive on your computer.
    To disable USB mass storage mode, press  > Disconnect.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

    ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing.  Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar".  How do I fix this?  I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program.  Help

    I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting:  Mac OS, device, device OS...
    Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC).  The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be.  Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
    On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL?  You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
    Now do you have more than one calendar?  In the DM how are you setting the sync?  Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device?  Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device?  Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

  • LATEST DESKTOP MANAGER FOR MAC DOES NOT WORK!!!

    I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and an iMac running 10.6.4 with the latest Blackberry Desktop for Mac (v1.0.4 build 10) that just came out August 2010 and it will NOT allow me to update the handheld software either.  It is for a different reason. It says I don't have enough memory on my handheld, but that does not make any sense since I have totally wiped my handheld.
    Is RIM every going to figure this software out??  Years in the making and they still can't get a functioning software app for the Mac !

  • Laptop will not read any memory cards

    Laptop Model: Satellite P500 (PSPE8C-026006)
    I have tried several times to get this memory card reader to work. At first, I tried putting in a memory stick PRO Duo with the memory stick pro adapter (so that it could read it), and I was getting a "File I/O" error and that the stick had to be formatted. I tried again with several other different sticks and got the same error. I then tried to update the drivers for the device and still no luck. But now, the memory stick is not even being detected at all.
    Could someone please give me a good link to the latest driver for this memory card reader + how and where the device will appear on the Device Manager list so I know it's properly installed.

  • Media Manager for Mac will not open

    Running an iMac on OS X 10.7.2
    Every time I try to start media manager I get the following error:
    The application “Verizon Media Manager” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again?
    Eventually a page comes up with a lot of techical detail info and says it iwll be sent to Apple.
    Anyone run into this before and know what the issue may be?
    thanks,

    When you get the error asking if you want to restore the windows, are you getting an option to either say "yes" or "no"?  If you do, which option are you clicking on?  Let us know when you're able.  Thanks!

  • So is there any news on when Desktop Manager for Mac will come out? - Only 2 days left in September

    Could we maybe get an update from RIM here?  We have two days left in September but still nothing but rumors when it comes to when the desktop software will actually be released....Yes I know there is another thread asking the same question, but it seems that has gone off on other tangents...
    Message Edited by errandwolfe on 09-28-2009 04:47 PM

    No one knows.
    The former answer of September seems still within reason... otherwise.

  • Steps to take if BlackBerry is not shown as connected in Desktop Manager for Mac

    Hello Community,
    Here is a list of steps you should attempt to try and get your BlackBerry detected in Desktop Manager for Mac.
    1. Make sure you're using the most up to date BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac.  Which is available to download at http://www.blackberry.com/desktop
    2. If using a MacBook/MacBook Pro make sure the BlackBerry is plugged in the left USB port close to the screen.  If using a iMac make sure you use the USB ports on the Mac and not a USB hub.
    3. Make sure you're using a BlackBerry branded USB cord.  (There are usb cords out there for charging only).
    4. Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    5. Disable Media Transport Protocol on your BlackBerry smartphone. (Options>Memory)
    6. Make sure your Mac OS X 10.6 is running in 32-bit mode. KB Article.
    7. Make sure ALL other syncing software has been uninstalled and removed off your Mac.  KB Article.
    8. Perform a battery reset on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    9. Make sure your BlackBerry smartphone is not hour-glassing or have an application error appearing on the LCD screen. However if there is a JVM 507/513 error appearing on the BlackBerry the Desktop Manager for Mac will pick up the device and reload the software.
    10. Make sure "Open using Rosetta" is not running/disabled on Mac OS X. KB Article.
    I will be adding more tips and tricks to this post once I come across them.
    Feel free to share with other community members and I always welcome suggestions and comments.

    Hey burko74,
    Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, do you get prompt for mass storage mode?
    Also does the mac pick up the media card as a removable hard drive?
    Have you tried to do a battery reset as well?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • DM for Mac will not sync groups from my address book

    After spending 40 minutes with BB tech support, I was told that the new DM for Mac will not sync the groups in addressbook. They say maybe in the next version of DM.

    Intel Mac
    OSX 10.6.1

    Neither does DM for the PC... I wish it would also (and since DM for the PC has been through many upgrades, I don't know that you will see that added so soon.

  • Desktop manager for mac not syncing with calendar

    Desktop manager just started to give me a sync error yesterday when syncing the calendar. I receive no error message for the contacts. I use desktop manager for mac. I have never had this issue before. I updated desktop manager yesterday after the sync error but, that did not correct the problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply yancy.
    What error message are you receiving?  Are you only synchronizing to Ical or Entourage?
    Also have you attempted to forget the device and the re-setup the synchronization?  
    To forget the device, go into Device>Forget Device.  Unplug the BlackBerry, plug it back into the Mac.
    I look forward to your reply.
