Desktop Manager not detecting BB via USB

Ok I have an issue... this never happened before, but its really annoying now lol
I hope someone out there has had a similar problem... the friggen answer is probably staring me right in the face, but i'm just missing it.
Anyways only my Blackberry Desktop Software will not detect my Curve 8900 via my USB cable on WIndows Vista 64-bit. When the cable is plugged in, the phone charges, I am able to access my memory card that I have in the phone within Windows without a problem. Its just the Desktop Manager will not find the phone via USB.
The phone works fine connecting to Desktop Manager using Bluetooth. I can sync up no problem there. Its just the Desktop Manager will not find the phone via USB.
Let me stress the fact that use used to work... I don't get why this has happened.
Nothing appears in my Event Viewer, I get no error messages. The same phone, with the same USB cable works just fine on a Windows XP computer. Hell, it even works on the same computer, within a VMWare environment using the same USB port tried on the Windows Vista installation.
I have tried all the steps listed at this link:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02640&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
nothing seems to want to work
Does this make sense to anybody out there? lol
Let me list you my specs to make this clear
Operating System: Windows Vista Business 64-bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810
RAM: 8GB
etc..
etc.. lol

Did ya miss me??

Hello prot0fein,
So I take from your post that the device and the computer communicate but only through your VM on the computer or using mass storage mode on the host. Am I correct about this?
Can you tell me what devices in device manager appear/disappear when you connect and disconnect your device on the affected computer?
Also, have you tried this article?

Desktop Manager not detecting device. Not a local administrator

Hi there,
After a complete re-install of the software, there's no way for my desktop manager to detect my USB connected BB. The thing is that i am starting the Win session as a standard user (i have just enroled a new Windows Domain). If I start with the domain admin account, It recognizes my BB perfectly well.
How can I run my Desktop Manager and Desktop software in a non-Administrator user profile?
Thanks a lot!
Marcos

i am in the exact same position as you. it is irratating and it seems this is a common problem and bb or mac are not addressing a solution. looks like i have to get an iphone

LaserJet Pro MFP M276nw software installer not detecting printer via USB or wi-fi - Windows 7

I am trying to install a LaserJet Pro MFP M276nw on Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and I know the printer functions fine, as I have installed it on both Windows Vista Basic x32 and Windows 7 Professional x64 all on the same desktop. The operating system has been changed a couple of times, hence the multiple installs.
I downloaded the full featured software from HP.com and went through the routine of installation as per usual, except that now the software doesn't detect the printer when it requests that I connect it via USB. Trying to install via wi-fi doesn't work because the printer still needs to be attached via USB in order to create the proper wireless handshake. Windows 7 detects the printer, and in-fact installed the drivers for it automatically. However, the printer installation software suite does not respond to the printer being connected, and just hangs there, waiting for it to appear.
I have tried multiple USB ports and it's the same issue. I've installed the basic driver also available for download on HP.com, but that software does not appear to include an option for scanning files to the computer. The printer itself will scan to email or to to a USB thumb drive, and even to a network folder, but not directly onto the computer. If it wasn't a necessary function of an all-in-one printer, I wouldn't bother with the scanning feature and simply make do with the basic printer driver.
Anyone have some sort of idea regarding this issue?

Hi @KP_ ,
I see that you are having issues with setting up the printer on the one computer. I would like to help you out today.
I would uninstall the software, turn off the Startup programs, Antivirus software and update the driver during the install by the post I have provided.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstall the software.
Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
To uninstall from program files:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
Select the C drive.
Select program files or program files x86.
Open the HP and printer name folder.
Select uninstall.
Uninstall the software from the CD:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to see if there is a program interfering in the back ground. How to use MSCONFIG . Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
Download, save and then run the latest drivers. Don't Connect the USB cable until prompted during the install.
HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Right after connecting the USB cable, follow this document immediately. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Disregard the title. If the printer stays listed properly, don't worry about updating the driver.
Test the printer.
Then you will have to go back and enable the Startup programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Desktop Manager not detecting 8900 in Vista 64 bit

My new computer, using Vista Home Premium 64 bit, detects my phone, but DTM does not. I have seen upwards of 30 posts describing uninstalling/installing DTM, hard booting the phone, checking USB device and driver in Device Manager, and running commands from the command prompt. Nothing works. Plus, my current v5.0 of DTM only has 5 applications (unlike v4.7 on my old XP Pro machine that showed 6). I have done over 15 different variations on uninstall/install/hardboot, and all the troubleshooting suggestions. Help!

IMovie 08 Not Detecting Camcorder via USB

Hello,
I just bought iMovie 08 for my Canon HF100 camcorder because I needed it to import video's from my AVCHD camcorder. Well, my camera dose not have a firewire, only USB. So I connect my camera to my Mac Book Pro, but nothing in iMovie 08 happens. iPhoto opens up (even though I have no Images on it), but nothing in iMovie. I tried to go under File > Import from Camera, but it only open's the iSight camera thing, and my camcorder is not under the "Camera" list. Can anybody help me?
The first time I tried this, the import window appeared, and it worked. But every-time after that, nothing happens.
Thanks.

Turn the imovie on before your camera. Also does your have computer intel-based chip?

Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient!

Desktop Manager not working with Windows 7 - Error message received Not Responding

Hello
The issue of not connecting with desktop manager started in May 2012. When I plug phone into computer I can see files. USB works fine as I am also able to use all ports with other usb items. I downloaded the latest download manager again today January 14, 2013 and again the desktop manager says non responsive and program will not start. I have windows 7 and the desktop manager did work in April 2012 with this computer (windows 7). Help with a solution would be great.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

Mobile phone not being recognised via USB port

A few days ago I plugged my Motorola V3x phone into a USB port to download some pictures and was presented with some Windows to fill out some information. As I could not complete the operation at that time I closed the windows to retry at a later date. But now when I plug the phone into the USB port it is not recognised and there is on icon appearing on the desktop indicating that a USB has been plugged in. If I plug other devices into the USB ports they are recognised. Any ideas?

For the phone to appear on the desktop when plugged in via USB you need to use USB Mass Storage mode (or whatever Nokia call it) not Media Transfer.
For iSync you need to download the E71 iSync Plugin from the Nokia web-site:

Desktop Manager not recognizing Storm

I have done a thorough search but have not found a solution.
When I connect my Storm, the computer recognizes it. It shows up in the device manager. I have checked the drivers - they are up to date. Everything with the computer is working fine.
When I open DM ( I am running v 5.0) - "Device Connected (PIN) - None" is displayed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both v 4.7 and 5.0 with no luck. I have done a hard reboot of the Storm - no luck.
If anyone has any suggestions, your help is greatly appreciated.

My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

Desktop Manager Not Working After Security Wipe

I had to do a security wipe on my Tour to fix a problem I was having with the Bluetooth on my phone (which surpisingly worked!). However, now when I try to sync my phone with my computer, Desktop Manager has a problem. When the program gets to synching my calendar, Desktop Manager stops working. The screen goes white, and I get a message saying that it has stopped working. I tried clicking the Debug button, but it didn't do or tell me anything. It seems to fail when it gets to item 26 of 191 in my calendar (from the status bar that appears when synching), but I have no idea what that item is. Any ideas as to why this is now happening or how I get figure out what calendar item might be causing the problem? Thanks.

Interesting!
May have to hop on the mobile network if possible.. I'm not sure if you can register over WiFi with you being in a different country, but we can try a few steps.
Register on Network
1. From the device go to Options
2. Select Advanced Options
3. Select Host Routing Table
4. Select menu, then 'Register Now'
Send Service Books
call your carrier and ask them to resend your service books.
