Desktop Manager won't back up 9800 Torch

I can not get Desktop Manager to back up my 9800 Torch. ALthough it  "sees" the device ( in that it identifies it as 9800 and the PIN number), when I try to back up the phone the option is grayed out. When I try to connect it gives me a message like " Can not connect to device. If battery is dead or it is rebooting, try to connect later"

Hey SRinger1,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Are you able to setup a synchronization in BlackBerry Desktop Software, or is that greyed out as well?
Also I would suggest to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
And then re-download BlackBerry Desktop Software at www.blackberry.com/desktop

  • Desktop Manager won't sync Outlook

    Just got a new Bold and now Desktop manager won't configiure to sync with Outlook.  It gives me a "Not able to connect to internet" error.  Removing firewalls and Norton didn't help.
      Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hi MarcBrittain,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    This article should provide more information on this issue. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
    There are some additional steps in it to try to diagnose the issue. If none of the steps in the article resolve the issue, you may want to try disabling your startup items in the System Configuration Utility and rebooting before trying again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work with Curve 9310

    Can anyone help me troubleshoot why the Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work when I plug my Balckberry Curve 9310 into the USB port.  The program freezes and shuts down.  If I try to use the device switch wizard I get this message "Fatal Error has occured while updating your device's software. Please try again."  I had to purchase a new Blackberry because my provider doesn't work in my new location so I bought StraightTalk Blackberry because I use it for business and I am familar with the phone.  I am desparate to get my connections loaded onto my new phone. Help!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I suggest this thread:

    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!

  • BLACKBERRY TORCH - won't turn on and desktop manager won't recognise it - I can't get my contacts

    Hi all,
    I'm new to this so please bare with me.
    I'll try and be as brief as possible. Up until last week I had the Blackberry Torch 9800. I was due an upgrade and about two days before I went to contact my network provider my Torch battery died (it wasn't broken at this point, it just was drained and needed charged) so I went to charge it and it did that thing where the battery was so dead it wouldn't even switch on whilst charging.
    I plugged it in and rather than charge like normal it was completely dead and the only activity it offered me was two red flashing lights as it 'charged'. From that moment on it has not turned on. Dead as can be. If I plug to charge (wall charger OR USB port) I get the two bright red flashing notification lights but it will not go on.
    Anyway rather than send it to be repaired I opted for a new phone as I was due an upgrade anyway and intended on doing so whether the Torch was alive and kicking at this point or not. Cut a long story short I got my new blackberry (9360 curve) it is all set up with my e-mail etc, media card and same sim card swapped over but as Blackberry insist on your contact numbers being saved to the handset and not the sim my contacts are stuck in my Torch 9800.
    When I go to plug the Torch in to Desktop manager to get the contacts saved to there and then sync over to my new handset the Torch is so dead that DManager won't even read/recognise it. My network say since this is not an issue with network etc they can't really help and gave me a number for Blackberry services in England somewhere (they are office hrs so can't phone until Monday morning).
    Please can someone help? I have my new 9360 all up and running but my contacts are stuck in my Torch and that is the only place they are? DManager won't recognise the Torch because it is dead - except the two flashing lights - and therefore won't let me at the contacts that way.
    ANY help would be appreciated - please not too techinal as not great with all of that side of things!
    Sorry for the long post.

  • Torch 9810 and Desktop Manager won't talk

    Hi there,
    I have a big problem connecting my torch 9810 with the Desktop Manager (6.1.0.35).
    The situation is the following:
    If I go to the PC Device Manager (from "My Computer") I get the Blackberry device recognized and working properly, this means that the PC is understanding that I connected a BB.
    But when I open the Desktop Software and the BB Device Manager there is no way they can see it.
    I tried everything:
    1) clean reinstallation of the software
    2) Update of BB USB drivers
    3) Different USB cables
    4) Different USB ports
    5) USB Drive/Sync Media/Charge Only modes
    6) Full restart of the BB (alt-shift-del)
    7) I followed many many many related topics
    I need to connect my BB because i need to reset it to factory settings since the battery is lasting maximum 1/2 day (no background running apps, no long backlighting, everything seems to be ok)...
    Please help me I cannot stand this situation anymore.
    Thanks for any help 
    Walter

    Sometimes the Desktop Software will say "Connecting" in the lower right corner.
    I was using a 6.something version and upgraded to the latest revision of 7 and I still have the same error.
    Blackberry is recognized by the PC as a blackberry, but the desktop software always has the Backup option greyed out.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't read Blackberry Torch

    I've been having trouble with my Blackberry Torch as my computer will not recognize it in Blackberry Desktop Software. It's actually very wierd because I will plug my phone in to a USB port and the port will charge the phone, but nothing else happens. The reason why this is weird because I've had it work for a long time and then one day, it just didn't work any more. I've done every type of trouble-shooting listed in the Help menu including rebooting the computer/phone, replacing the cable, re-downloading the software, etc etc. I've also been able to connect the phone using Bluetooth, but unfortunately I was limited with what I could do with that connection (ie. I couldn't tranfer any music/media).
    So yeah if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is something you should first perhaps try, before those tricks. The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    4) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Now you are ready to try the tricks, but since this thread is so ancient, I'll re-post my current list of things to try...

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.

  • Desktop Manager won't do two-way sync

    Hi,
    Desktop Manager (2.2.1 build 7) seems to have gotten into a mode where it won't do complete syncs with my Curve 8100.  I'm only want to sync iCal and Address Book (Mac OSX 10.6.8), but DM seem to be in a write-only mode.   New events on my laptop get transferred to the Curve, but no calendar event I put on the Curve get pulled to the laptop.  Moreover, DM seems to push to the Curve events that I have already delete on my laptop.  For example, if I accidently create a "New Event" in iCal and delete it immeidately, it turns up on the Curve as "New Event" the next time I sync.  
    I suspect I've set some flag incorrectly, but I can't find anything.  I've "forgotten" the Curve in DM several times, deleted all its data, and reinstall DM, but nothing seems to help.
    Any thought?
    Thanks.

    Hey Wharton,
    I certainly feel your pain on this, I've got the 9900 Bold and it won't do anything on the desktop software apart from back it up, annoyed doesn't even cut the surface of the frustration I've had with this after the hours I've spent searching the forums looking for an answer to this, mine won't sync, update, or do anything really. I'm really getting fed up with what seems RIM's very passive attitude towards this situation whilst everyone on the Windows platform seems to be getting on fine with it, I very much doubt they'll read this or even care if they did to be honest because I've had problems since I got my phone and it's got worse everytime they've released an update. I'm now at a point where I can't even look up music on my phone by artist or genre because it tells me there's no media available but yet when I go into all songs they're all there and play fine. Seriously RIM, sort this **bleep** out, it's getting beyond a joke, fed up with having a £500 smartphone that I can't update or sync with my Mac. Sorry this doesn't answer your question Wharton but I stay hopeful that RIM will sort this issue out or someone has a suggestion that helps us!

  • Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

    I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this. 
    More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

    I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

  • Sync on desktop manager won't start with new 9700

    I am attaching my 9700, with a USB cable, to my laptop. The Desktop Manager software opens but it will not start the sync'ing process with my device.
    - the little "check" box - "automatically synchronize device and computer when USB connected" is switched on
    - I am using the latest version of Desktop Manager
    - the "Synchronize" tab is in grey. It's grey'ed out. When my curser hovers over "Synchronize" it won't light up, as in, it won't let me press the Synchronize button to initiate the process.
    - my 9700 is brand new. I had no synchronizing problems with my previous model, the Curve.
    - my laptop is a great device, I don't currently, nor haven't had, any issues with it in the past - DELL D420 Latitude. I seem to have all the drivers I need
    - I am running Windows XP
    - I am not linking to a server at work. My Blackberry is set is purely a directly link from the 9700 device, to my computer, and syncs with the calendar, address book and tasks list (MS Outlook 2003 from MS Office)
    - my new 9700 - I bought it 2weeks ago. It did sync in the beginning. About three times successfully. But not now obviously.
    - on my Windows bar at the bottom of my computer screen it pops up "new hardware added" and the 9700 device is no longer described by its identity number (PIN ref?), it says "new hardware added, 'memory device'"
    - I've searched through the Blackberry help pages and so far, all I can come up with is that my computer can't seem to recognise now, for some unknown reason, that it is connected to my 9700. Blackberry help suggested I go to the "pairing" pages of the Help guide, but I thought "pairing" was only a subject that involves Bluetooth activities. Not a USB cable connection.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hey Graeme0309,
    If you disconnect the BlackBerry from your computer and open Desktop Manager, are you able to open Synchronize?

  • Desktop Manager Won't Work

    I have downloaded the desktop manager, and like the past version, this one still wont recognize my blackberry 8330 Smartphone, I am using Windows Vista and multiple USB connection devices. I have opened the DM first, then attached the phone, and vise-versa. The phone is recognizing the connection because it lights up as charging.
    I did everything SpawnMod suggested on the other blackberryboard forum, using both the decimal and hexagonal values of 1. Nothing has worked can anyone please tell me how to get the desk manager to recognize my phone, it's very annoying that I have never once been able to upload any photos from my phone (and small memory too) let alone that its only SMS and no MMS texting.
    Thanks
    (Here's what SpawnMod said to do and I did it all)
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/169912-desktop-manager-windows-7-a.html
    "For anyone having the issue with Desktop Manager stating "Before you begin, verify that your current BlackBerry device is connected to your computer", this may resolve your problem (it worked for me even with Bluetooth):
    1) Make sure no "Desktop Manager" components are running. You may need to kill BbDevMgr.exe, RIMDeviceManager.exe, and DesktopMgr.exe using Task Manager
    2) Run regedit.exe
    3) Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Manager
    4) Create a new 32bit dword reg value named "DeviceConnection" and set the value to 1
    5) Launch Desktop Manager
    For me this was a new install in a VM I created to test this with. I noticed that there was no value named "DeviceConnection" where one does exist on a machine of mine that is working. Once I did this, then DM would at least start up and not show that stupid message screen where it then does not allow you to select the device. It appears that the programmers at RIM need to go back to school and learn how to test application updates and use FRESH computer images for their testing."

  • Desktop Manager won't open up after installation

    There were a couple of posts on this top back in mid 2010 but unfortunately no reply but I'm hoping someone out there can help:
    Whenever I try to start up up Desktop Manager software I get a Windows message saying "... has encountered a problem and needs to close." There is some help about this problem occuring at synchronization but I can't even get started at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times but to no avail. Oddly and maybe significantly, at download, says the software is 108MB but the installed software states only 99.5MB. I am running Windows XP.
    Can anyone help? Thanks

    Hi Graham,
    I'm running Windows XP 2002, SP3 version. I have a 1.75GHz Pentium processor and 1GB RAM.
    Forgive me, I'm not 100% clear on your second question. I downloaded the file from www.blackberry/desktopsoftware. I use Google Chrome as my browser and I ran the set up file straight from the toolbar at the bottom of the browser rather than from where the file is saved in My Documents/ Downloads. 
    Does that answer your query?

  • Blackberry Desktop manager won't start

    I cannot get desktop manager to run on a Vista Business machine.  DM appears in task manager but seems to hang and never appear.  There are no error messages or events in any logs that I can find.
    I have completely removed DM and clean up any remaining reg entries or files and re installed it but still no joy.
    The user running it is a local admin.  
    Any ideas?

    So here's how I fixed my issue.
    Delete the Rim.Desktop.exception.log located here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data
    Run the application, it will crash with the error message above and create a new Rim.Desktop.exception.log file. Open it in notepad and look through it.
    In my case the exception was this.
    Exception message is: The current build operation (build key Build Key[Rim.Desktop.Shell.MyBlackBerryApplication, null]) failed: Could not load file or assembly 'Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager, Version=6.0.2.44, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies
    I followed the suggestion of renaming the file C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Modules\Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll.old
    I then tried to lauch the application and it crashed, you must do this! renaming it back without this step will not work. Then I went back and renamed the dll file back to it's original name Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManger.dll and sure enough the application worked.
    Must be some messed up reference somewhere, it's stupid and RIM should figure this out before releasing updates. Obviously your issue may be different but the exception.log file should point you in the right direction.
