Desktop manager wont find Phone thru blue tooth

I need help.
When I try to connect my phone using blue tooth to the desktop manager (4.6.0.1.2), it doesnt recognize it. In the options menu the blue tooth boxes are not accessable to check. I paired up my phone with my computer and that worked using the pass key where you type in the code in your phone then your computer. It then says connecting to local service then installing modem and the blue tooth icon illuminates next to the computer time briefly then goes out. I bypass the advanced modem settings screen and it wants me to add a dial up number, name and password. As I do not wish to use my phone as the internet connection I click finish. My 8700 now shows in the window along with my mouse and headset. When I try to connect my phone it attempts to connect by saying opening port then it trys to dial by using the *99 and non existant name and password. I then get the error message. With all this said, is there any way to just connec my phone without it trying to dial up first?
Note: it does connect thru the usb cable just fine.
Thanks

Hi,
You won't be able to transfer pictures and media through the desktop manager. It's main functions are backing up and syncing to Outlook yahoo, for contacts calendar etc. You can however sync through Bluetooth. (native drivers only)
here is the link:

As far as media is concerned the quickest, most efficient, and easiest way is to plug the USB into the PC and BB
(IF you have a MEDIA CARD in the BB), it will come up as a flash drive under windows explorer.
Then you simply drag and drop your media to the card. In Bluetooth transfer, the BB takes only one file
at a time, which is why I suggest the USB able.
There is a media Sync program that is very stable, and is a stand alone system here is the link:

  • Blackberry desktop manager wont detect blackberry

    i have looked everywhere for a solution to my problem and i simply cannot find a fix. my blackberry curve 8520 wont connect to my desktop manager. i have tried everything i could think of however nothing has proven successful.
    here is what i have so far done:
    -reinstalled desktop manager
    -installed latest update for desktop manager
    -installed drivers for blackberry
    -checked usb cable and ports
    -made sure desktop manager was set to usb
    -pulled the battery on the blackberry (power cycled)
    -restarted my computer
    i believe this is everythign i have currently tried, i am running 64x ultimate windows 7 and my computer does recognise that a blackberry is put in as everytime i do so a ballon at the bottom om my screen says a blackberry has been detected and gives it a drive name and such. it is also charging which ensures enough power is being delievered to the blackberry. i do not have another computer to try the desktop manager on. if anyone has a fix to this issue please respond asap as help would be very much appreciated.

    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).
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!

  • Help connecting an LG phone using Blue Tooth to Macbook

    Hello

I am using discover mode on booth devices, i get asked about the code number machine on each device, but on the macbook it says that there is a problem with my Audio Device and that I need to disconnect the headset,,I dont have one connected.

    I can get them paired but when I select the lg device listed on my HTC phone it does nothing.  I want to connect them so I can transfer the pictures from my old device to my new device.
    Hi Cheryllb,
    Thanks B33, as you are correct that this cannot be done via Bluetooth transfer. There are, however, ways that Cheryllb can get this done. Cheryllb, do you have a memory card in your LG Voyager? If so, you can save the pictures to the memory card (just go through your pictures, highlight them, press Menu, then move to card or "external memory" is how it may be displayed). Then, you can remove the card from the Voyager and either use it in your new device, or transfer the pictures using a card reader and put them on your PC. 
    To transfer Picture Messages from wireless device to PC: 
    1.        Access photo from "My Pictures" and choose "Options."
    2.        Select  "Move" or  "Transfer."
    3.        Remove memory card and insert card and card reader in USB port.
    4.        Go to your file directory on the PC.
    5.        Transfer files to the folder of your choice.
    If you do not have a memory card, you are able to connect your Voyager to a USB Cable and transfer the pictures from the device to the PC. Once that is done, they will be in a file. You can then hook up your new phone to the PC with it's USB cable and put the pictures on the new phone, by dragging and dropping that folder into the folder for your new device.
    I hope this information is helpful and allows you to find a resolution to transfer your pictures from phone to phone. I do understand how important these pictures can be.
    Thanks very much and have a great day! 

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager wont start

    I am SOOOO frustrated.
    I have installed the BB Desktop Manager software (never installed or used it before) and it has downloaded fine but it just wont open!! No errors, just nothing. Am getting really frustrated. 
    Any ideas?

    I am not sure I understand - are these instructions you have seen/been given?
    What is the context for your post? I have an issue with DM 6.02 and Windows 7 which is that DM just won't start, the only workaround I have found is to downgrade to 5.0.1 which is not ideal but does seem to work. It worked fine on XP but when I switched to Windows 7 it installed fine but then would not start up.

  • Desktop Manager Wont Backup Word Substituti​on

    I'm using Desktop Manager 6 with OS6, and my Desktop Manager won't backup my Word Substitution list (formerly called autotext in OS5).  I have about 200 of the word substitution entires in my phone, but when i try to back them up, the desktop manager only shows that I have 3 entries.  There's no error message or anything, it just shows 3 entries, when I know i have at least 200.  Anyone know how to fix this? I really dont want to have to re-enter 200 entries manually if I ever need to restore my phone.  Thanks

    It seems a little silly that it cant be backed up since it's clearly in the list of applications you can choose when you click on customized backup.  If it can't be done, why even put it there in the first place?? I dont have any blackberries with OS5 still on it, but the method you described is exactly how i got my old autotext list onto OS6, I restored my last OS5 backup and then added all the updates manually.  I'm trying to figure out a way to save the word substitution list as a memo (which can be backed up) but I dont want to copy and paste each entry individually, so it loks like i'm out of luck on this one...
    Thanks for your input tho )

  • Desktop Manager Wont Work !!!

    Desktop manager is installed and when you open the program it appears to launch but then I get an error box saying its stopped working and to close the program.....can anyone help with this...or point me in the direction of a fix for this....its really frustrating as I want to load some pictures onto my phone and cant.....

    First, you need administrator privileges on the machine. Then when you install you need to right click on the .exe file and select "Run as Administrator."
    I would do a clean uninstall using this:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
    Then reinstall using the "run as administrator" method.

  • LaCie desktop manager wont run in lion

    Hi
    I have just purchased a new 1TB LaCie D2 Quadra External hard drive and connected it  by Firewire 800 to my 27" iMac.
    I am aware of some compatibility issues, and the setup assistant would'nt run on Lion and you have to reformat manually, which I have done.
    I then had to download v.1.4.3 of LaCies Desktop manager which has loaded and installed successfully, however when I launch the desktop manager, it says "No LaCie desktop manager compatible device found".
    I am in dialogue with LaCie Support but the turnaround is about 1 response a day, and I am keen to sort this out....
    Thoughts are that this forum will be far quicker ! !
    Many Thanks

    Open Terminal and past this 5 command lines one after another. After pasting first line, sudo command will ask you for your user password, so you have to enter it and press Enter (only after first command):

  • License Managment - wont find transfer license file

    I just completed a transfer License from a UC560 (I was trying to reduce the number of Users) But instead it removed all user licenses.
    Luckily it's gone into Evaluation mode
    When I try to transfer the License file back into the UC there is no "Discovered License" to select.
    This was the same Machine transferred out and trying to transfer back in again. I received a .lic file from Cisco however this cant be imported as a License file either.
    Any ideas?

    Sounds like you have the old version of Creator. Please go to this website (you need to join the Sun Developer Network first) and download the new one which will not require you to have any license:

  • Desktop Manager does not recognize my phone

    I just got my new BB 8330 from Sprint on Saturday.  Last night I made an attempt to get my phone conncect to my computer and started off by downloading the Desktop Manager from the CD that was included with the phone.  After the download, I attempted to connect my phone via the USB cable.  The phone would only show it was connected for a few seconds then the connection ICON would disappear.  After about 12 attempts of unplugging and plugging it back in, the connect ICON stayed up (this happens everytime I try to connect the USB cable).  I then went to Desktop Magager, but  no luck.  I would not recognize my phone.  I then thought I would reinstall the most recent version (V4.7) but that still did not work.  I am just stumped and as you well know, Sprint Support is not exactly the most helpful.    Just to give you a lil background on my equipment, I will provide the following: 
    Spring BB 8330, v4.3.0.127, platform 3.1.0.73
    Windows Vista 32 Bit

    Ok, let me ask someone this....  If I can connect my wifes BB Pearl and the Desktop Manager sees that phone, does that mean something is wrong with the USB connection in my phone?  Is there a setting on my phone I should be checking?  PLEASE HELP.... 
    Thanks,
    Tim
