  • BB recognized by computer & Desktop Manager, but does not connect?

    All right, I've scoured these forums and can't figure this out. Tell me if I've missed something.
    Blackberry is recognized by my computer AND by Desktop Manager, but does not fully connect so I can sync. I can see it in My Computer, and the Desktop Manager does recognize the model of smartphone when it's plugged in. Both Windows, and Desktop Manager ask me for my password when I connect the USB cord. However, it just says 'connecting' in the bottom right, and never gets past that. When the phone is initially plugged in, the screen goes to the clock (normal), and flashes the 'connection' screen (BB and computer icons connecting with a cord). It flashes that screen twice then goes back to the clock. The Desktop Manager then just keeps trying to connect, until I unplug it. Both the computer and desktop manager recognize when I've unplugged it.
    Running:
    Windows 7, 64bit
    Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35
    Blackberry Tour 9630
    This is a new computer. I was running Windows XP with Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35 previously, and it worked no problem, but that is no longer an option.
    The goal is to be able to sync with Outlook 2007. Need very badly to be able to do this.
    Did all the simple stuff:
    Oh so many Windows restarts,
    Blackberry battery pull, both unplugged and plugged into computer with Desktop Manager running,
    Desktop manager reinstall,
    plugged into every different USB port,
    tried a different cord.
    Went deeper:
    BB USB drivers fully up to date
    Turned OFF USB power management on all my ports in device manager,
    Disabled USB selective suspend setting
    Deleted my intellisync folder in appdata/roaming,
    Turned off Windows UAC notifications,
    Tried every combination of BB memory compression on and off, or mass storage mode on and off,
    There might be more I've tried but don't remember. I've been searching the net for days now.
    Please let me know if there's anything else I can try. This is a serious issue for me right now, I need to be able to sync with Outlook 2007.
    Thanks in advance

  • Please help! New desktop archive function DOES NOT work!

    Am using the new vista Desktop 6.2.1
    I have been using Treos for many years, and I often delete and archive address, memo, todo and datebook records. I keep critical archive files for reference and often do refer to old archived records.
    HERE IS THE PROBLEM: Whenever I delete and choose to archive an address entry or memo from my Treo and then hotsynch, the desktop hotsync process does not add the deleted records to the appropriate archive files the way it should and the way it has worked for years, in this case address.aba and memopad.mpa - the desktop hotsync process OVERWRITES those archive files. You lose all of your old archived data, anything that was archived is wiped out and replaced with the most recently deleted and archived records
    SO for example: I had 20 archived contacts in my address.aba file. I deleted a contact from my Treo and wanted it archived. After the hotsync all 20 archived contacts were gone, the only record in my address.aba file was the most recently deleted and archived record.
    I have tested this carefully and many times now with the address and memopad and the same thing happens.
    Am I the only one who uses the archive PIM files as valuable references? Can not imagine so, and can not imagine I am the only one who noticed this problem, or the only one it is plaguing.
    Can anyone offer an explanation and solution?
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I have the same problem. When I "upgraded" from a Treo 650 to a Centro Verizon, it came with Desktop version 6.2.2. The archive function does the same thing when I try to archive my Tasks.
    I have gone on Palms Chat service, called their support on the phone several times, sent an email to the Access software public-relations message center, and done everything I can to correct the problem with no success. The Palm support people don't even seem to understand my problem, let alone how to correct it.
    One technician told me that Access desktop version 6.2 doesn't work and to go back to version 4.1.4E. That doesn't work either.

  • WRVS4400N Remote desktop on Vista does not work

    I have a WRVS4400N and all firmware, software is up to date and current.  I can connect using remote desktop on a laptop with Windows XP Pro but cannot connect with a laptop using Vista Ultimate.  I have used the new Quick VPN connect software, but when I try and use the remote desktop connection, it does not connect. 
    Is there a setting that is different in vista than windows XP that I need to change on the laptop or is it someting in the firewall in the WRVS4400N?

    if your RDP is already working on your windows XP computer then there are no settings that needs to be changed on the linksys router, you have to double check the settings of your RDP application on your vista computer, possible that it is using a different port number

  • BB desktop for Mac Does not work Curve and G5 OSX 10.5

    The RIM software simply does not work very well. I will keep it to update software, but as a product to sync my data between my BB and my 2 macs, it simply does not do what is needed.
    Sync did not move the Address Book groups data over. The groups moved to the BB, but the groups were empty. Most of the address book contacts did have the group information in each file, but I could not filter by group as each group was empty. Also, a disturbing number of entries were duplicated, with the duplicated entries missing the group information.
    The sync from the iCal application did not seem to go very well either as I received error messages on my Mac.
    I am disappointed that RIM would not have a 32 bit version available for OS 10.2 - 10.5 and a 64 bit version for 10.6
    I am surprised and disappointed that RIM would release a product with less functionality than the Mark/Space offering, and have a lack of bluetooth syncing.
    I have gone back to "The Missing Sync" as that product does work and their support is very good. Unfortunately I had to play around with setting up a test account with no data in iCal and Address Book to zero out the errors that the RIM product put into my BB. I then had to do a second overwrite, this time with my main Mac account and my iCal and Address Book data.
    My BB is back to running and syncing, but not on the RIM software.
    I hope that RIM will revisit the Mac software and provide a product that answers the needs of the Mac community.

  • Home page link on desktop Facebook still does not work (pic included)

    This does NOT happen in other mobile browsers, only Firefox. Over many Firefox versions on Android, the home link in top left corner of facebook does nothing when tapped/clicked. Same as the "Home" button on the top right. If I click the Facebook button 23 - 30 times, THEN it will load the newsfeed....otherwise it just sits there doing nothing. See the attached image below. What is circled in RED is what does NOT work. Mostly I have to open the link bar and type in the facebook address to load it. Why is this?

    I've had this problem since Firefox V.17.0. it bugs having to open the link bar just to have to go to my newsfeed. Mobile site sucks :p

  • Blackberry desktop manager for mac not working

    Hi guys,
    New to Blackberry yesterday and hitting a few problems, wondered if anyone had any advice, any mac users a bonus.
    I installed the Desktop Manager from the CD that came with my Curve 3G onto my mac yesterday, that installed fine.
    I then connected my phone and loaded the application up, it backed up fine, but when I went to Applications it told me I needed to install the latest version.
    I went to the Blackberry site and downloaded it from there to make sure I had the latest version, although I'm sure they were the same builds as on the CD
    I uninstalled the one I installed from the CD and tried again with the one I downloaded from the Blackberry site, but  It still flags up the same error that this is not the latest version.
    I've had a quick browse on the net and it seems other mac users have had the same problems, does anybody have any ideas what's going on?
    Thanks
    Shaun

    I'm having what seems to be the same problem and it's driving me crazy.
    I just installed BlackBerry Desktop Software 2.0.0 (it's the only one I've ever had installed) and every time I open it and click "Applications' I get a window that says "A newer version of BlackBerry® Desktop Software is required to update the software on your device. Please download an updated version and retry."
    At the same time a "Install/Remove Applications" window opens behind this window but nothing is listed, then the window disappears and "Device update cancelled" appears in the bottom left corner.
    If I clicked to download the updated version before both windows disappeared, I get a "Download Progress" bar that says "Downloading updates. Please Wait."
    It eventually times out and I get a window that says "The update download failed with the following error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3003.)"
    Anyone with this problem found a resolution? I've been searching around for nearly 2 hours and nada.

  • "Set the Desktop Picture" command does not work in certain instances

    I've decided to take a try at using automator. Anyways I've created a very simple workflow.
    Get Specified Finder Items (points to an image file)
    Set the Desktop Picture
    Now this usually works when the desktop is set statically to a specified image. But when I set the desktop to change the picture periodically, the automator action fails to change the picture to the specified image, when executed.
    Is this a bug? Is there any workaround for this?

    Your workflow actually is changing the static desktop picture, it's merely failing to then switch off the "Change picture" feature.
    The "Change picture" feature has a somewhat misleading name in that it's not actually changing your static desktop picture at all. Your static desktop picture remains in place as a new dynamic picture layer is continually drawn and redrawn directly on top of it.
    I don't see any way of testing for or turning off the desktop slideshow automatically, short of writing a GUI AppleScript that opens System Preferences and clicks through to the relevant toggle setting. If you file feedback with Apple they might take a look at it.

  • Home link in upper left corner of Desktop Facebook site does NOT work. Will not go to Newsfeed

    Pressing the "Facebook" logo in top left corner will not work most of the time. The newsfeed does work..but let me explain this a little better. Say, I'm on a friends facebook page using the full site...I want to go to my newsfeed so I click the "Facebook" logo in the left hand corner next to the notification icons....poof....nothing happens, except, I notice the little padlock on the left side of the address bar disappear. I can let it sit and it will never do anything. If I press the facebook logo about 15 times, then it will finally load the newsfeed. It seems like some kind of issue going from secured to unsecured pages. It does not do this when I am in one of my groups though...odd. I have always had to use the addeess bar to go back to the newsfeed . This problem has existed through many versions of Firefox. No other browser does this.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager still does not work - HELP?

  • Pocketmac worked, tried media sync then uninstalled, now pocketmac does not work

    hi, i cannot get pocketmac to locate the storm. it worked fine before trying media sync (cal, tasks, mp3, pics, etc. all worked). so i'm back to square one.
    i uninstalled media sync and have now reinstalled pocketmac along with the update. i was hesitant to download media sync, but wanted to give it a try to see what it will look like later...of course, i don't know what i was thinking. i must have been lucky to have a bberry sync'd mac.
    any advice?
    thanks.
    - sal

    Installed media sync and saw that it doesnt work with pocket mac or any other syncing. Uninstalled it. Uninstalled pocket mac (how to is below). I cant believe how much that download screwed my BB Bold up. Not reading media card now either!!! HELP!!!!It worked fine before that!
    To completely uninstall PocketMac for BlackBerry smartphones, complete the following steps:
       1. Log in to the Apple Macintosh computer with an account that has administrator-level permissions.
       2. Open the hard drive icon on the computer.
       3. From the left menu bar, select Applications, and then open PocketMac Sync Manager.
       4. Click Uninstall PocketMac.
       5. When prompted to continue uninstalling PocketMac, click Yes.
       6. When the uninstall process is complete, click Quit.
       7. Open the hard drive icon on the computer.
       8. Select the Users folder. The current user is indicated by the Home icon.
       9. Click the Home icon to continue.
      10. Open the Library folder, and then open the Preferences folder.
      11. Delete the PocketMacBlackberry.plist file.
      12. Delete the PocketMacAdvancedPreferenceData.plist file.
      13. Delete the PocketMacSyncManager.plist file.
      14. Open the Library folder, and then open the Application Support folder.
      15. Delete the PocketMac and PocketMacSyncManager folders.
      16. Empty the Trash from the Dock by right-clicking and selecting Empty Trash.
      17. Restart the Apple Macintosh computer.
    However, there is one step missing from this list, and do this before connecting your Curve to your Mac: (this step is necessary)
    go to : Macintosh HD/system/library/extensions and delete the 2 Blackberry files with the .kext extension, empty your "Trash" folder and do one more restart.
    Now you get to have the fun of re-installing the software again. And just to hit the extreme basics (sorry if  is offended):
    1) Disconnect your Curve
    2) Install Desktop Software, restart
    3) Install Driver Update, restart
    4) With phone still disconnected, start software and set up your configurations, iCal, Contacts and so on
    5) Connect phone and sync.

  • IPhoto does not open back-up library and requests library manager which does not work either

    Hello,
    I have a problem and NO idea how to fix it. I try to write it in bullet points to make it easier to read:
    - My MacbookPro (from 2009) with current software (mavericks, all updates) went offline due to lack of battery while I was working in iPhoto
    - When I rebooted the Mac, iPhoto said that the library is damaged and should be repaired
    - The "repaired" version had lost tons of organizing elements (e.g. the order of the pictures and so on) so I used my time machine and took a back-up of the library from 1 hour ago
    - The back-up library was copied successfully in the according file (user-pictures) after I deleted the current one
    - When I wanted to open iPhoto now it requested to use the library manager as the version of the pictures are "old"
    - I downloaded the library manager and tried to use it, however, this tool explains me now that the pictures were used with a newer version of iPhoto so I shall open iPhoto instead
    - Again, when I then try to opne iPhoto, it requests the library manager and so on
    So, I am not able to get access to my pictures again, although the library in the folder seems to be of correct size (around 55 GB). Does anyone have any idea how to fix that problem?
    Many thanks in advance!!!
    Johannes

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Solaris Container Manager console does not work

    I've loaded SMC 3.6 and loaded the container manager piece with no problems on a fresh Solaris 10 (11/06) install on a blade 1000. The managment center works just fine. I've loaded the container manager according to the following doc:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4098/6n699bc48?a=view
    The install went fine but when I point my browser to the page specified in the doc above the browser wants to download a bin file. I've restarted the java web server as shown in the above doc and I've scanned the port 6789 with nmap to make sure it was open. All browsers I've tried want to download a bin file. They are not launching a console as shown in the doc.
    I've tried firefox on linux, netscape on solaris and IE on windows. Java is loaded and working on all platforms. How do I get this working?

    use secure http
    https://<server name>:6789
    make sure you ran the setup for Solaris Container Manager

  • Form does not work

    Hi
    I use Adobe Livecycle Designer7.0 English and Acrobat7.0.8 Japanese. I made forms to upload to Workflow Server. One form I made does not work at all when the form is opened in the Form Manager.
    It is strange that the PDF preview of the Designer works well.
    1. Page Counter
    In the master page of the form I set a page counter field from the custom library. In the preview it works well but when the form is opened from Form Manager it does not work. It looks like "Page ##/##".
    2. Font is not shown
    I put a button in the form. The font of the button is set to "MS UI Gothic", but when the form is opened from Form Manager the font of the button is "KozukaMincho".
    3. JavaScript does not work
    I wrote javascript to change the caption of fields like this.
    ----- form1.#subform[0].Button1::click - (Javascript, client)
    FieldA.rawValue = "test";
    FieldB.rawValue = "test2";
    This script does not work too when the form is opened.
    These issues are basic but I do not know where is wrong. Because no error message appears when I test the form in the PC.
    Please advise about these issues.
    Thanks,
    Akira

    Hi Jared,<br /><br />I am very glad to read your reply. <br />I added a button with the script you wrote in previous reply and found that Form Manager changed the root tag. <br /><br />The xsd file I define to the data is like this<br /><br />b <Message>  //rootnode name <br /><br /> <Heade></Header><br /> <Contents><br />  <FieldA></FieldA><br />  ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer><Footer><br /></Message><br /><br />So, I set the structure of the form like this.<br /><br />b <Message>          //This is name of contents area<br /><br /> <Header></Header> //Subform name<br /> <Contents>        //Subform name<br />  <FieldA></FieldA><br />   ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer></Footer> // Subform name<br /></Message> <br /><br />But the saveXML script write out like this:<br /><br />b <fields><br /><br /> <Header></Header><br /> <Contents><br />  <FieldA></FieldA><br />  ......<br /> </Contents><br /> <Footer></Footer><br /></fields> <br /><br />So I changed all of the Javascript using relative path and I upload this form again to the FM, but this form does not work...<br />I am not sure that it must be the same name between the rootnode of the xsd file and the name of the contents area. <br /><br />Jared and all, would you let me know whatever you find about this issues.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Akira
