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.

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.

Desktop mgr won't sync contacts

I just got a BB Bold 9650 from Verizon. I have an iMac running the newest version of Snow Leopard. I downloaded the Desktop manager and it sync'd my calendars and notes but not my contacts. Contacts is grayed out and it has this message:
Contacts are currently configured for wireless synchronization.
To synchronize Contacts with BB Desktop Manager, turn off wireless synchronization by opening Address Book on your device and from the Options menu, selecting your address book and changing the Wireless Synchronization field to NO. Reconnect your device and try synchronizing your data again.
The only options I get are to sort and separate views or allow duplicate names or confirms deletes.
I've clicked on every tab and button I can find and there are no wireless sync options anywhere. The user's manual that came with the phone and the PDF manual are both pretty useless. It is like they were designed for a different phone running a different os because I can't seem to find half of what I am looking for by following their instructions.
This is very frustrating because one of the main reasons I went with the BB is because they advertised that their phone would sync to the mac address book and calendars.

Probably the most infuriating two hours of my life. Im trying to sync my contacts from an iphone to this balcberry. Am I the only person who feels this shouldn't be this ridiculously difficult? They're contacts. Im surprised that I can't just drag and drop my address book. I'm thinking of taking this archaic lump of turd back and getting an android. May not be secure but at least it'll work. COME ON RIM!!! This is the very poor. Very friggin poor. These are contacts! Maybe you deserve to sink if you can't figure out contacts!
The desktop software doesn't even lead you to the right folder? WTF? Get your **bleep** sorted out already. Why doesn't it tell me to go to 'contacts' as there isn't an address book on the phone leading to confusion. Are you all asleep at the wheel? This is not a smartphone. Its a frutration generator!

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!

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!

8830 & Desktop Manager does not recognize Outlook Express 2000, cannot sync

I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 and connected to my BB 8830. I use Outlook Express 2000 for calendar and I want to sync it with my BB 8330. However, in Desktop Manager under Sync / Config / Select Device for calendar, the only choices are Yahoo and Import/Export Text. Obviously it is not recognizing Outlook Express 2000 as a calendar program. Does anyone have a solution?
I bought this 8830 mainly to sync its calendar with my Outlook Express calendar. If it does not work, then I am going to return it to my cell phone carrier.
Solved!

Outlook 2000 has not been supported since Desktop Manager 4.2.

Sync problem BB Curve 8310 and Desktop Manager v4.6 with Outlook 2003

I have a BB Curve 8310 with Desktop Manager v4.6 that I syn with Outlook 2003. Calendar, tasks, and memo will sync. The sync fails on the address book with this message: Unable to read application data record. Translation Canceled! From other message boards, I understand that the problem could be with a particular contact record but I can't find that record. I've followed all suggestions about organizing Outlook to look for blank entries for name or company and have deleted all those found. The names on the BB log are not alpa so finding the one that is incorrect is a problem. The sync failed at record 1211 out of 1428. I deleted the last record shown on the log and but then it failed at record 1210! I deleted several addresses and now it fails at record 1192. There must be more to this! I am getting ready to purchase a new computer and all new software and would like to resolve this issue before moving to new equipment. HELP!

First perform a clean uninstall oof DM 4.6.

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.

Desktop manager does not recognize Outlook 2003.

Hello everyone,
We have an Exchange server but use POP3 accounts individually on the users also.
I have installed this software (desktop manager) many times with other clients and never had an issue.
On this particular user using Blackberry 9550 v5.0.0.713 I have installed and then uninstalled desktop manager 6.0 because it saw that we had Exchange and automatically assumed Enterprise Server was present, when I chose not to use Enterprise account, it did not see Outlook as a choice to synchronize with.
I then removed 6.0 removed user settings, restarted and installed Desktop Mangager 5.01 sp1. I chose the option for personal mail. The synchronize configuration still does not list Outlook as a choice to configure.
Has anyone else run into this?
I found a post that said to make sure that Wireless Sync is off and it is.
Help please,
Jeanne

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.

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!

Desktop Manager Buttons and Sync Screen Inaccessible

Buttons and the sync screen of Desktop Manager are very difficult or impossible to read with dark themes like the High Contrast theme. It makes the software much less usable for folks with low vision or who prefer a darker theme. While I understand the desire to make software visually attractive it is usually best to leave form elements and labels un-styled and without fixed dimensions. If styling is used then one should go all the way and style both background and foreground colors so non-default themes will still be usable. I'd like to attach a screen shot, but these forums do not allow attachments.

Hi dcolizza,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Are you syncing with an Exchange account in Outlook or personal folders in Outlook?
If you are not syncing with Exchange, try creating a new MAPI profile and setting up synchronization with that profile to rule out any issues with MAPI. This article should provide information on how to do this. http://bbry.lv/sKLgOV
Hope this helps.

Desktop Manager Not recognizing Outlook 4.6

Hi. I recently purchased a Verizon Curve 8330 and installed the Desktop manager 4.6. My laptop uses Windows XP and Office 2000. I can't get the manager to recognize outlook. Fixes I've tried so far:
Uninstalling 4.6 and installing 4.5--then 4.3--then 4.2 sp2--then 4.2 sp1 (threatened to destabilize windows, so I aborted the install).
(each new install was preceded by an uninstall of prior version)
With 4.3 and above, my 8330 was recognized, but no Outlook.
With 4.2 sp2 it wouldn't recognize my 8330.
I managed a work-around to get my outlook calendar/contacts from my palm by changing conduits to my Palm Desktop and then syncing with 4.3.
I've reviewed the thread on Desktop Mgr 4.5 not recognizing Outlook 2000, and if I'm missing something please tell me.
Any thoughts on how to get Outlook 2000 to sync with my 8330?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
DM 4.6 will service Outlook 2000,
Use this procedure to erase the prior install and clean the registry:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11320&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Reload 4.6 and go through al the setup options.
Let me know if it doesn't recognize Outlook 2000.
