Desktop Manager won't see 8120!!!

I installed my desktop software twice and it always says disconnected when i plug my 8120 in. I want to sync my contacts with my outlook. Can someone help?

Is there memory card installed in your blackberry ?
If so - when your device is connected to your desktop (device keyboard has to be unlocked) - then additional removable drive has to appear in "My computer".
If there is no removable drive - check your usb-cable. Perhaps there is a problem with your usb-cable.

8310 desktop manager won't see photos in mass storage mode to transfer to computer

Redownloaded desktop manager today. Wasn't working. Download complete - no roxio on my computer software - should it show up separately? Will sync. Tells me no photos to download. Mass storage mode is on. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - Launa

Dear Launa
Do these things for your problem solution
AS you said re downloading completed an no roxio i dam shore that you donwload desktop manager 5.0 or 5.1 that will never work. Just follow the tips below
1.     download latest software from the BB web site its free. the latest version is 6.1
2.     Install and connect your device with PC using USB or Bluetooth. I preffer Cable (USB)
3.     Run it go to My Videos, My Pictures which are appeared on the left hand side pan of the software screen.
4.     Sync what ever you want.
If that does not work then do these
1.     If your data is on the memory card (Mostly the pictures and videos by default on the memory card but some time it is by default the phone memeory. If on the memory card then
2.     unplug you BB ad plug your BB again this time when you connect with the pc a message will be displayed on your BB screen which ask you to start Mass storage or not.
3.    Start Mass storage and copy paste the pictures you want from BB to PC or PC to BB
4.    For memory card instead of pluging the cable you can use a Memory Card Reader. But Mass Storage will be prefferd coz in that way you are able to browse both memories PHONE and CARD but in memory card case you just able to view card details not phone.
5.   Some time the folders are hidden in your PC and on the card for that Unhide all by going
if wndows 7 or vista then
My COmputer - > Organize -> Organize Folder and Stettings -> Scroll down and locate folder view and click the radio Show HIdden files and Folders. After that just beneth the Show Hidden Files and Folder Radio three options are checked "Hide Extentions for known file type and Hide protected operaing system files (recomended), just uncheck all of these and click ok it will prompt and message when unchecking just do it. and you see all the hidden files on the card. YOu can do it b going on Control Panel
For XP Users
Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Option and the options are same as above stated and same here also you can do it by control pannel
Just let me know if this will solve your problem
Thanks and Regards

Desktop manager won't see computer files

I can download videos from my BB to my desktop but I cannot upload from my desktop to my BB.

Hello cattieluver and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Are you using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to transfer the media files from your BlackBerry® smartphone to your computer? If not, how are you downloading the media files from your device to your computer?
When you connect your device to the computer, do you see the prompt for USB drive?
Thanks!

Extension Manager won't See My products?

Hello,
I am running windows 7 64bit and have the CS5 Master suite. Due to low disk space I installed the suite on an external drive which the computer saw as (I) Later I installed a Card reader and it changed all my drive letters, so now the hard drive is seen as (L). For awhile a was able to use Photoshop or any of the programs until I figured out how to change the path in properties to go to the (L) Drive instead of looking for a non existant (I).
Now I can open the products, but the Extension manager won't see them at all and when I try to install a new purchase or download I get this: http://prntscr.com/spmmq and this is the version I am using http://prntscr.com/spn0a, I do have CS6 as well, but it crashes 2-3 times a day from random things and I have a lot of stuff my photoshop has to load, so it takes almost 1.5 hours to get back up after a crash.. grrr!!!
I tried downloading CS5 Extension manager to reinstall it, but when I did that it was forcing the installation the the non existant drive (I) I couldn't change the path and when I went to unistall the Extension Manager, there was no option for it to be removed??
So the question is... is there a way to have my extension manager find the products on the (L) drive???
Thank you for any help,
J

using the Microsoft BlueTooth driver is a requirement for Desktop Manager, not an issue. Please read task 2 of the following article from the public knowledge base:

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:
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!

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.

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.

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?
What version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using?

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!

Desktop Manager Won't Delete Apps

When I use Desktop Manager to go to delete an app on my Curve by unchecking the app, the checkmark just returns a second or two later. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Odd...
You could delete the App just on the BB itself. Untethered, do this:
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Applications > highlight, but don't select, the app > BBKey > Delete
See if that does it.

Desktop Manager won't work with Bold 9900 no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall!

This really is a shambles and Blackberry are no help!! Can you guys help!! My blackberry won't SYNC with my computer! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, it isn't ideal at all!
Any tips, I connect device and for hours it comes up on device manager, 'Connecting' nothing changes!
Anyone provide any tips on how I can get this to work.
I have been downloading device manager 7.0 but it doesnt work and Blackberry arent interested in helping!

OH! So this isn't really a sync problem, but a connectivity problem between the BB and the Desktop Software (lack of sync is a cascaded symptom, but connectivity is the root issue)...much different! In which case, here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

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.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

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 load applications

Hi there,
When I connect my Blackberry Curve 9360 to Desktop Manager, it connects fine and everything else works fine too; except when I click on the "Applications" tab, nothing shows up. I'm not able to see any apps or input languages on the screen.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager, syncing my device, backing it up, and I even made sure my Blackberry Appworld account was ok as well as checking if all my apps were running properly.
When I go to Options > Third Party Applications on my Curve, nothing loads there either. I can see my applications on Blackberry App World though.
Please help.
Sincerely,
Brian

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!! i dont know how to fix it tho let me know asap please x
