Desktop Manager update? Naah!

Hi - I hope that somebody may be able to help me.
I am using what I believe to be the updated version of Desktop Manager ie. Version 1.0.3 (build 19).
It allows me to back up and restore however when I click the applications button in order to 
load some new software get a message saying a newer version is required in order to update my device software.
If I hit download it just times out. When I check my Desktop Manager for updates, it tells me that I have the most up to date version.
My unit is an 8520 with v.5.0.0.592 and my Mac is OS X 10.6.3
Are there any Mac-heads out there who can tell me what the problem is? Please try - I see so many posts without replies - hope mine isnt one of them!
Thanks
Platski

I was having the same issue (in addition to my browser not working for the last few days, which is why I plugged in in the first place).  I tried the Applications -> Download -> Restart method several times, stuck on Build 19 every time. After coming here and seeing that it worked for someone I gave it one more go, and VOILA! Build 23. No idea why it didnt work the first three times, but I'm now good.
I guess my advice is the same as Jimmy V's: "Don't give up, don't ever give up."

  • Desktop Manager Update- Stuck on "Loading Applications" step

    I started to download a desktop manager update and the download has been on step 10 of 12 for almost an hour.  That step of the process is the "loading applications" task.  Is it normal for the update to take this long?  There is a message at the top of te update box warning me not to diconnect my device or I risk damage to the apps and the device. 
    I am wondering if this is the normal time and how I can prevent damaging the device if it's not normal?  Thanks for the help!

    Updates don't usually take this long, so it's possible something may have gone wrong.  Do you know what the update was for?  If you're with Sprint, it may have been upgrading the operating system on your phone, but other than that, I'm not sure why it would be doing that.
    If you still need additional help, please post back and include your carrier name and if you know it, the operating system version that was installed on the phone.  And let us know what, if any, messages are displayed on the phone and/or computer.

  • Desktop Manager Updated to ver. 5.0 - why is Device Manager tray icon "exit" greyed out?

    Just updated to Desktop Manager 5.0
    Blackberry Device Manager 4.7.1.11
    BBDevMgr 4.1.0.11
    Rim USB Driver 4.1.0.4
    Rim USB Serial Driver 2.2.0.3
    Before with previous version Device Manager tray icon would go away after disconnecting BB.
    Now Device Manager tray icon does not go away after disconnecting BB and when right-clicking on it "exit" is greyed out - what's up with that? Is this by design? Why can't I get rid of the tray icon when disconnected?

    Here's something bizarre. I have also been syncing contacts, calendars and tasks for a long time with my Storm. After downloading the Desktop 7.0 I also saw the Calendar as not available. I don't particularly remember seeing Memo as an option but I also selected it this time around as I was going through the old reload the os, restore, etc. Anyway I did a test adding an appointment to my Outlook calendar then ran the sync for contacts, tasks and memos and amazingly it shows on my Storm's calendar. Not sure how comfortable I am in depending on this but you might try and place an appointment on Outlook's calendar, run the sync and see if it shows up on your cell's calendar. Strange but it is working for me.

  • Desktop manager update and two phones

    The wife and I both have8320 Curves. I synced my phone to the desktop manager last year she did not. Today I downloaded an upgrade for the phone software and the desktop manager. Now my phone has the new software and the manager has a new look but how do I get the new version of desktop manger to look and my wife’s phone? To install the upgrade to the phone it has to go through desktop manager but it will only see my phone. How can I change the pin# to the one for her phone?
    Anyone?
    Thanks for any help
     Gary

    If all you're looking to do is to upgrade your wife's OS, you can run the Loader application by itself.
    Click Start --> Run, and enter this (WITH QUOTES):
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe"
    If you've installed Desktop Manager 4.7 you shouldn't even need to install the OS for the device.  The latest version (and possibly 4.6) will retrieve a list of carriers, the devices they support, and the latest OS available from them automatically, and if Loader determines that a newer version is available it will automatically download it and install it.
    If you're not using Desktop Manager 4.7 or 4.6, you'll need to either upgrade DM or download and install the OS from the carrier.

  • Bypass Creative Cloud Desktop Manager update

    Hello,
    There are current issues with updating the above program due to proxy reasons on our corporate newtwok. Until this is resolved is there a way that the update can be bypassed to enable me to use the manager?
    I have followed another post that says to change that name of the AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file but it didn't work for me.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards

    Looks like I had done all you advised except delete the Adobe Creative Cloud and Application Manager folders under Utilities. I did that and now CC installation is proceeding. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I spent an hour waiting for someone to get to me on Chat and gave up and was not looking forward to calling Adobe tomorrow.

  • Error when updating Playbook OS version via Blackberry Desktop Manager

    Greeting,
    I have a batch of old playbooks which having the stack charging issue, but I found that I can update the OS to the newest version (2.1.0.1917) via Blackberry Desktop Manager, then the charging algorithm will be changed to the updated one and go over this dead battery issue. I was able to do so successfully in the past week smoothly on several devices.
    But since this Monday, the Desktop Manager is saying "An updated Blackberry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue" when downloading the Desktop software and will appear "There was an error updating your software, an error has occurred while downloading the Blackberry Desktop Software.Please try again." and preventing the process. Seems there are some change on the server side starting this week which has caused this problem, but there's no error code to locate the exact issue.
    I tried on 2 different computers as well as completed uninstalling and re-installing the Desktop manager, also tried to disable the automatic update as been advised in some threads. So no clue how to deal with it for now. It will be highly appreciate if some one can share some idea.
    I've attached the step by step screenshots for reference, where you can find here:

    Sorry I can not help you with your problem but perhaps you can help me.  
    Can you advise where I can find info on "disable the automatic update"?
    just ignore the update if you dont want it on the playbook
    for reloading the OS
    First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
    Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
    You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    QUICKLY choose the Update option.
    This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

  • Please help me: Failed 8310 OS update to OS 4.5 via Desktop Manager

    Hello BB Community,
    As of this morning, I can't use my Blackberry curve 8310......for anything.
    My problems started just as I was about to do a routine USB cable sync between my BB and Outlook.
    I was informed by Desktop Manager v 4.7 that OS 4.5 is available.
    I delayed the sync, and start the update process.
    Everything............. except my BB restart and data reload.......... completed flawlessly.
    Then a message says the update has failed, & the entire thing halts.
    So, I wait a while then pull the USB cable & turn off the BB.
    Turn on......the result was hourglass & white screen.
    Removed & replaced battery....result was hourglass & white screen.
    Restarted PC and connected BB...........result was hourglass & white screen & Desktop Manager does not recognise BB Connection, but Windows XP sees BB media minus folders.
    Reinstalled Desktop manager....... still not recognising BB USB connection on the main screen.
    Even though I have all the information saved in Outlook, I am getting desperate.
    QUESTIONS:
    Is there anything I can do to get my BB curve 8310 operational again?
    Should I consider reloading an OS?
    My phone is unlocked, so not sure if trying to download and reinstall an OS will LOCK the phone.
    The unit's previous startup screen used to show a T-Mobile image.
    Should I download the UK T-Mobile OS upgrade?
    Blessed Regards,
    2121311berry

    Good luck, this will work... I have done it many times.
    Be patient with JLCmder. If it does not work at first, keep trying, I have seen it take 20-25 tries before it "connected".
    Try it with and without the battery inserted if you must.

  • Setting BB Pearl Flip clock to network? Desktop Manager asks for an update to languages.

    The Flip looks appears to require manual time adjustment rather than pulling the date and time information from the local network, either by setting it through options on the clock function, or through the Options - Date & Time menu.
    My Desktop Manager keeps asking, when launched, an update to the same Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish languages.  How do I turn it off?

    I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
    The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
    Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
    Maximum capacities:
    BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 -- Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 -- Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 -- Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 -- Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above -- Up to 16 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 -- Up to 32 GB

  • Desktop Manager asks for "insert BB device software updater disk"

    When open DM (v 5.0) a message "insert BB device software updater disk" for a file named "ApploaderWebSL-Upgrade[1].msi". I cant find it....help needed....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK. Can you uninstall 5.0 first. Next download and save the DM 5.0 exe file somewhere on your computer. Instead of double-clicking the file to install it, first extract the contents of the file to a folder on your computer. You can use any zipping program (i.e.. Winzip, Winrar, 7-zip) to right click the EXE file and choose Extract To. On my computer I created a folder called "Desktop Manager" and extracted all of the contents into that. Now you can go into the folder that contains the extracted contents and run the "BlackBerrySetup.exe" file to install the software.
    If you just double click on the EXE file then the software extracts all required files to a temporary folder on your computer. After the installation is complete then the temporary files get deleted. So the main benefit to doing it above is that all of the installation files will always be located in a folder on your computer. So if you ever have to reinstall, repair, or find an MSI file that the program needs you don't have to download the software again.
    Let me know if that works out.

  • Desktop Manager Says Phone Needs Update

    I have Desktop Manager 5.0.1 installed on a Windows 7 x64 system.  The phone is plugged in and it says it needs a core update run on the phone.  I am running 5.0.0.328 on Verizon.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    lol, love that **bleep**. Is that like an alien? j/k
    Verizon could be pusing an update, I doubt it, yet.
    If you have upgraded the BBMessenger to v5, it likely sees the BBM 4.7 as being the update or something, which has been a glitch for some users. If that is the case, you could simply hit cancel and ignore it.
    Otherwise, run the update and see what you get?
