Desktop Software Manager does not recognize phone

Newbie here. Phone works fine, but not DM Software. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling various DSMs (5.0, 4.7) but each time I get message that some component failed. Then, I open DSM and it always shows phone as "disconnected." Checking the Hardware Devices on PC, I find RIM devices under PORTS, showing as Serial . . . cannot find RIM device in any of the USB connections.
I have done re-sets, tried all USB ports. I have ordered another cable, not yet arrived, but think problem may be in download procedure. Thanks for any help.

Hey jactor,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
There is a few things I would suggest you try:
1. Since you uninstalled several versions of Desktop Manager and re-installed the software, I would suggest you make sure you do a complete uninstall.  To perform a clean uninstall: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
2. Once the complete uninstall has been completed, then go to http://www.blackberry.com/desktop and download the latest software.  Install this software without the BlackBerry plugged into your computer and then restart the computer.
3. Plug in the BlackBerry via USB and Windows should install the required drivers and Desktop Manager should pick up the device.
Hope this information helps out.

  • Desktop Manager does not recognize USB Connection

    I have installed the Desktop Manager for MAC (v1.0.2) on my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard10.6.3.
    When I connect my Storm 9520 the Mac OS recognizes the media storage drives in the 'Finder'.  I can copy files to and from the device media using 'Finder' but the Desktop Manager does not recognize that the device is plugged into the USB (yes I have tried both USB connectors).

    I have an 8310, Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6 and the BB desktop v 1.0.2 build 8.  It recently stopped recognizing the USB connection as well.  I was able to sync my BB with the MAC but can no longer do so.  The MAC mounts the BB and I can access the SD card.  What gives here?

  • Anyone who has had a webcam failure where the "device manager does not recognize the hardware"?

    HP Pavilion dv7 running win 7 64 bit
    Device manager does not recognize trueVision HD webcam. Tried all the suggestions on HP website, which eventually says it's a hardware failure. Has anyone had any resolution to this issue? I see the problem occurs across various platforms with varying resolutions to the problem.

    Solution.... If your laptop does not recognize the built-in camera at all in the device manager and your warranty has expired or your willing to void your warranty.  You can see if you have the same problem as I had. Gently pry the plastic frame around your camera and display screen apart you need to go at least half way down the sides. There is also some adhesive tape you will need to push to one side or the other. To the right of the camera there is a very small connector, it wont even look as if it is separated. Use a tweezer or small screwdriver to push the connector into the socket. This fixed my problem ...The next startup recognized the camera and has worked perfectly since. In my opinion (13yrs experience in reliability engineering semiconductor manufacturing) this is a manufacturing reliability issue either the socket cannot hold the connector in place or there is too much strain on the wiring to the connector. Good luck.

  • Desktop software does not recognize phone

    I have downloaded the latest desktop software, connected my Torch 9800 and successfully synced calendar, contacts etc. with Outlook.  When I connect the phone after that, the software does not recognize the phone and will progress to the sync function. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the desktop software, and the same problem happened again.  I have tried the connectivity solutions suggested by the software without any luck.  The computer is recognizing the phone, but the software is not.  Any ideas out there?

  • Music Manager does not recognize my downloaded mus...

    I am using Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0 for my 5310. When I use the Music Manager to scan my computer for music files, it recognizes all the songs that I have burned from my CDs, but it does not recognize any of the music that I have downloaded from iTunes. If anyone could help, that would be great. I have had so many problems with Nokia PC Suite, and this is the one thing that I can't seem to figure out on my own!

    Open DTM and connect your BB via USB cable, then in desktop go to options and click on detect and look what it has there, if everything is ok go to main menu DTM and click on sync then on to config sync settings, make sure all is correct there, failing that in options you can check you setting in connections and PIN# are entered there.

  • Digitalpersona´s HP protecttools security manager does not recognize sign in pages as such with FF4

    With FF3.6 and previous, when visiting i.e. my bank site, and loading a sign-in page previously recorded with sign-in info and passwords stored with ProtectTools Password Manager, I was prompted to fill and submit such stored info. Since upgrade to FF4, the mentioned soft does not recognize sign in pages as such, therefore, not prompting for fill in and submitt, nor does it recognize sign in pages on any site, to prompt for recording the sign in info or password.

    I think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
    I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
    The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
    IdleActionSec=9min
    IdleAction=suspend
    Will check it and report back.

  • 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,

  • 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.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Outlook 2000 has not been supported since Desktop Manager 4.2.
    KB14763 Unable to select Microsoft Outlook 2000 from the list of applications for synchronization
    I would check on Outlook 2003, still supported by MS and the cheapest version still available.

  • 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
