Desktop Software for PC - Windows 7 Bluetooth Connection

Hi All,
Here's what I've got hardware wise Software all updated on all below..
BlackBerry 9900
Desktop PC with no Bluetooth built in
USB Bluetooth and Drivers
When installing the Bluetooth USB and it's drivers I don't get any option to allow Bluetooth connections the box is grayed out. In turn I can't sync the phone or do anything. I think this is more of a Windows Driver problem but just wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble and found a fix
Many thanks
@pauldeans

  • Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

    I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device.  And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

    You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

    I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
    "The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
    Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
    Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

    Hi choochoo2,
    Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 would not sync with Desktop Software for MAC

    When connecting my Bold 9900 to my MAC the Desktop Software opens correctly, phone is recognised and connected but the SYNC option is not available. I cannot click the Green sync button nor click the relevant sync button under the device tab.
    All answers would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi dimitrisuk,
    Welcome to the support community!
    Can you please verify that your synchronization settings have already been configured? This article should provide more information. "Unable to configure sync or click the sync icon due to the icons being greyed out in BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac" KB26367
    This link to the user guide provides the steps to verify that your synchronization settings have been configured. http://blck.by/14BZb5q
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Desktop software for Torch 9800

    Hi there
    Have downloaded the desktop software for Torch 9800 for use on new PC with Windows 8.1 and each time it synchronises (only doing calendar and contacts one way from device to PC in outlook) the desktop programe  crashes half way through.  Help please.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I've seen multiple posts from folks on Windows 8.1 having various issues. My suspicion is compatibility...refer:
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/desktop-pc/system-requirements.html
    As you can see, it states Windows 8, but not 8.1. Hence, my suspicion is that the current versions of the Desktop Software are not compatible with 8.1, and hence cannot be expected to provide proper functionality.
    Good luck!

  • Desktop Software for XP SP2

    Hi
    I am a new member to the blackberry community. Please guide me a desktop software for Windows XP SP2 as the file that i downloaded requires SP3 or higher. The only file which is available for download is ver 6.1 Even if u click the option to download older versions, then also ver 6.1 is downloaded
    Regards
    Saket

    Hello,
    RIM officially has dropped support for anything less than XP SP2. So, you'd need to hope that someone "out there" has an older version available for you.
    Since SP3 is free, I do find it odd that you haven't updated to it, though...
    Good luck!

  • Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

    Hello All,
    Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11?  Or something equivalent?
    I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now.  The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
    Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
    Thank you.

    No, sorry, there is not.

  • Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

    hi...
    I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync  - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
    please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
    thanks

    Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
    This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
    Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
    Look on the forum for additional details.
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

  • Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

    Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

  • Desktop Software for OS X 10.5.8

    Have recently gotten a 9810, but the Mac software on your site requires my 10.5.8 Mac to be 10.6 or higher.
    Are there any archived versions of the Desktop Software for an older Mac system?

    Why do you need to "sync"?  Just plug the device into the usb port of your mac.  An icon of the drive will show up on the desktop. Open the SD card from the finder on your mac and highlight and drag what ever files you want.
