Desktop Software 6 won't recognize paired Bold 9700 via Bluetooth

I use a Blackberry Bold 9700 and want to get Desktop Software 6 to connect to the phone via Buetooth (USB is not a problem).
I have been through KB04132 (How to set up Bluetooth Connectivity between a Blackberry smartphone and Desktop Manager). All the required Services are activated on the Device and the Device is successfully paired. (I am using a Windows 7 notebook with the notebook and device software fully updated).
Following KB04132, in "Blackberry Device Manager"//"Add Bluetooth Device"//"Select the device you wish to add", the Device is found and listed but I notice it is listed by the device name "Owens Blackberry" and a series of pairs of numbers separated by colons and enclosed by brackets): it does not list the PIN number as KB04132 indicates it should. Then when I click OK the device is not added to the Bluetooth devices list in the Bluetooth Configuration box - the box is empty. Selecting Add again, the device is found again but clicking "OK", again it is not added to the listing.
Has anyone successfully got Desktop Software 6 to connect to a Blackberry Bold 9700 using Bluetooth? What am I doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Owen

Desktop software won't recognize 8350

OK,
New 8350, Desktop V6.0.1.18, Microsoft XP SP3
Connect via Bluetooth or cable (two different ones), every USB port.
Phone was recognized once and was able to sync my data once. Since then I get the same error
BB desktop software cannot connect with device. Device is either rebooting or has dead battery.
Interestingly BB desktop manager recognizes the blackberry device, XP device manager recognizes it. All ports are powered with power management off.
I've done a clean install per KBxxxxx, done a battery pull.
I can't get the **bleep** software to work with the phone. That's the whole point!

BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize Bluetooth

When I try to add my BlackBerry using Bluetooth the BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize it. I have ensured that my BlackBerry is in Listen mode but it won't connect. I know the Bluetooth support on my BlackBerry Storm is working (9550) because it does recognize my laptop.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
We need your PC type, current OS, the version of desktop manager you are using. Here are some suggestions until your provide the details.

Desktop Software won't download device updates?

Hi,
I recently bought a BB Torch and would like to add more language supports via the Desktop Software (ver. 6). However, the installer won't go past the back up phase as the update window immediately closes upon entering the 'downloading device software' phase. I have more than 200MB remaining memory in my phone and the software is up to date. The desktop software won't apply changes to any other applications either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi pokexpress,
Try performing a manual backup of your BlackBerry using the Backup feature in BlackBerry Desktop Manager first. Then, when doing the upgrade, de-select the backup option.

IPod software won't recognize shuffle, why?

Note: This topic was moved from 'Safari.'
When I try to format my ipod shuffle with the iPod shuffle and I plug in the shuffle as requested, my software won't recognize the device!!!! Can anyone tell me what to do?

Karen,
You have asked your question in the discussion forum for the Macintosh Safari browser. You should go to the iPod Shuffle/Windows forum and ask your question there and you will probably get a faster answer then here.

Fingerprint software won't recognize my fingerprints

Hi,
I installed window 7 64bit (using upgrade cd from the upgrade to win7 program)
Installed all updates (windows)
However, the fingerprint software won't recognize my fingerprints -.-
The first two are fine, but the third one never works, it is the same story for all my fingers...
I HAD the program working perfectly before I reinstalled my OS
For some reason I seem to recall the same problem last time I had to reinstall, don't remember what i did to fix it
any advice?
Thank you for your time and help!
edit:
To add some details:
It was working before
The hardware is not the issue (it reads my fingers)
It's software or just my DNA changes my fingerprints -.-
I don't remember what software/version I downloaded last time, but I search online on this site and found the newest software
Also, the face program is not working either
It was working before I reinstalled OS
Is it just me or all the security programs just not liking me -.-

Thanks for responding
Just want to point out I mention clean install
So point 1 wasn't too useful
I also mention I updated everything (windows and downloading the newest already)
And since the problem is not being able to enroll fingerprints, point 3 isn't valid either
after a night of no sleep being trying to get the little piece of hardware to work-.-
Here's my solution,which I hope will help people
Things to note:
1. Toshiba fingerprint utility (1.02 something) and truesuite (version 2.0.0.57. something) are two different programs
On the tecra download site (canada) (andall window 64bit fingerprint I found on the US site) the program is Toshiba fingerprint utility
It has a few neat features such as file locking, auto ie password
However, it has the major problem of giving you a tough time to enroll (after 30 minutes of just swiping my finger, it FINALLY worked..for ONE finger -.-, wasn't able to repeat the process with other fingers -.-)
Also it is "buggy" and it slows down your system IMO
2. Using windows update (keep pressing updated after the first few times)
You get an optional Authen Tec update
Don't choose it, if you like the file locking part of the Toshiba program or u will be like me, unable to log in at ALL (even using password)
If you do mess up and can't log in at all (not being able to click or press enter for your password), go to safe mode, and use system restore
(for some reason turning off services/start up using msconfig didn't work :S suppose it would work using command line -.-)
3. You will see that there are now two softwares
first one is the toshiba fingerprint (default)
second one is the "updated" one
Uninstall everything (both programs)
Restart
Use windows updated again and install the new one
If should work
and by chance it doesn't
Go to Control/hardware/bio and turn it off, click apply, and turn it back on again
The "new" version is really a downgrade
It works well, recongized my fingerprints with no problems
No system tray/startup program
And IMO it's a lot stable/faster
However there is NO other feature, no file locking (if u have files locked...don't update)
Another thing to add, it doesn't conflict with comodo defense (the toshiba one does)
So bascially, after losing a night's sleep over something really trival...
don't update, stick with the "old" default version and add the updated version in windows updated in the ignore section
The old version will eventually get one of your fingerprints, plus u get the file locking part (the old version is basically the paid version of the new upgrade version)
OR don't download from toshiba website and use the window update version (the stripe down version, where u need to pay to have the features of the old version

Software won't recognize my Zen

Software won't recognize my ZensI tried to upgrade my firmware and after the the program removed the old firmware.

Desktop Software won't run - so I can't transfer from my current Bold to my new Torch 9800

I currently have desktop software operating on Microsoft XP SP2 with a Blackberry Bold. The desktop software was loaded approx 18 months ago.
I have upgraded to a Torch 9800 and wish to transfer my existing info from my Bold onto it via the desktop software. I have attempted to download the latest desktop software but ultimately it ends in a message stating that the application requires XP SP3 to run.
Are there any solutions other than upgrading my OS? An earlier version of desktop software that will work with both XP SP2 and a Torch 9800 perhaps?
Cheers

Correct, the current Desktop Software does require WindowsXP, service pack 3.

BlueTooth,Windows7 BB 9630 paired but Desktop Software won't see it.

first time posting here. really got to get a handle on this goofy phone i have. i have my phone paired with Bluetooth to my Windows 7 32bit laptop computer.
i cannot get the BlackBerry Desktop Software ver 6.1 to see it at all. does it rely on a different driver set than what Windows uses?
any insight would be great.
thanks

Blackberry Desktop Software doesn't recognize my .rem files on my SD media card. Cannot sync them to my Mac.

Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem where Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac 2.3.0 (build 12) doesn't recognize my .rem files (video and photo) on my SD media card (the Desktop Software app does show that file space on the media card is being used). Therefore, these files cannot be synced, decrypted, and viewed on my computer. I can see them on phone. I do have mass storage mode turned on and I can see the .rem files in the video and photo folders when my phone is connected to my computer. I can copy them to my Mac but since they aren't decrypted, I cannot view them.
I'm going to buy a new phone and I need to get these files off my current phone. I have a Tour 9630 with BB OS 5.0 bundle 1600.
I've tried backing up, reformatting the media card, wiping, and restoring but nothing has worked.
Is there any kind of utility that will let me decrypt the files on my computer? Should I try Blackberry Desktop Software for Windows?
I'm hoping someone can provide some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hey jack_clarke,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on the BlackBerry: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB13564
If this is disabled you won't be able to access your media card from the computer.

Desktop Manager won't recognize Playbook!

I have a recurring issues for 4 weeks whereby the desktop manager will not recognize my Playbook (PB).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled software.
My PB recognizes my PC upon connection.
My PC makes the standard noise when a USB is connected, but the D-Manager refuses to recognize the PB. Z drive does not come up either. And in Network Connections I have a LAN3 which recognizes the Reseach in Motion unit.
Plus my BB Bold is recognized.
I have already unistalled and re-installed software. Nothing seems to work.
I have spent 6 hours with RIM tech support going to the highest of levels and nothing.
HELP! ;-)

Is the PC a Windows based or MAC based?
What operating system are you using?
If you are using XP, you need to install Service Pack3.
With XP you need to install the latest Framework from MS. Going from memory I believe it is Framework 4.
If you are on Windows 7 you need the latest Service Pack.
You will need the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software package installed.
Some older PC computers have issues with newer software even with all the OS updates, and not only with RIM software. This is because of the BIOS and chip set on the mother board. In some cases a BIOS upgrade, plus the OS upgrades will fix this type of thing on an older computer.
I have a twelve your old PIII server using dual processors running on XP-Pro that I still use in my network. There is no possible way I was able to get the Desktop software to properly work on it. It turned out to be a mother board chipset issue. The RIM software works on every other newer computer I have in our system.

Went from 8320-8310, now my desktop software won't see my new phone?

Hey guys,
I recently had my 8320 (t-mobile) stolen and bought an unlocked 8310. I got a new sim card, went through that all and now I am trying to connect my phone to my desktop software (4.7) and it won't recognize the thing. The phone also says it isn't getting sufficient current to charge... I have tried resetting my phone, restarting my computer, switching cords.... any ideas how I can fix this? I want to restore my contacts and other info to my new phone.
Thanks,
Sean

My next suggestion would be to disconnect your BB and USB, and reboot the PC from powered off.
Do the same with the BlackBerry device.
Then, reconnect the BB to the USB, and THEN, try to connect.

Desktop software no longer recognizes 9630

I recently updated my sprint 9630 to v. 5.0.0.1030 (bundle 1675, platform 4.2.0.451). My desktop manager no longer recognizes the phone when I plug it in. My laptop rcognizes that the phone is plugged and it is charging the phone as well, but the software doesn't work. It keeps telling me that it is disconnected. When I run update for the desktop software it says I have the latest version installed. It still shows that my device software version is 5.0.0.983. I have turned off my firewall temporarily, rebooted the laptop, did a battery pull on the phone and nothing works. It still does not recognize the phone. What do i need to do to fix this?

I am having the same problem with my 9630 and laptop. HELP!!!!
