Desktop Synch with Outlook - this may be the final straw

I am running Blackberry Desktop on a machine running Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using Blackberry 7.1 Bundle 1737.  I am using Outlook.  I don't have an enterprise email.  
When I try to synch, it usually works on memos and tasks, fails on address (stalls part way through) or calendar and address. Errors include "Line 131 in .\error.cap", CRTran", "BB storefront", "CPreferensManager Configuruation Value not set in TransConfig.xml". Etc. I did a clean reinstall on the desktop, I wiped the Blackberry, cleaned out all Blackberry entries on drive and regedit, and still problems.
The synch with the same Blackberry and same version of Blackberry Desktop software  works fine on laptop (32 bit).
Tried one more time: Did a clean unistall.  Deleted "RIM" under my "appdata". Reinstalled using "run as adminsitrator". Ran the program from C:\ with properties as Windows 7. The synch ran for tasks, memos and calendar. However, for addresssess, it stalls at either 1687 or 79 addresses (out of ~4500). It ran fine on the laptop (Windows 7 32 bit).
Another issue: I accidentally set up gmail with "synch". I could not "unsynch" contacts, and had to do a security wipe and reinstall.
Tell me I should still believe in RIM/Blackberry.

After ages of successfully and happily using Blackberry Desktop 6, I reformatted my system and decided to give the newer 7.0 a whirl. Worst mistake ever. I tried 7.0 and it fouled up my contacts in a horrible way, both in my Outlook and on my phone.
Every few months I give it another shot, most recently with 7.1, and the software is still unintuitively awful compared to 6.10 when it comes to synchronization issues. I shake my head each time and I wonder if quality control is one of the reasons RIM lost so much market share.
My advice is to go back to 6.1 if you can find it on the net. It's always worked reliably for me.
610_b038_multilanguage.exe is what I'm using.

  • Email accounts keep disconnecting - this could be the final straw.

    Hi everyone,
    Please can someone provide me with a fix for the latest annoyance I've discovered on my Q10.
    Whenever I enter the wifi area at work, all my email accounts are taken off line. The network is NOT one of my saved networks, so I can't simply delete it. The Q10 connects to my home wifi fine.
    If anyone can tell me how to fix this I will be very grateful. As a Blackberry user of many years the Q10 is a huge disappointment (too many swipes, clicks and "gestures" to do stuff I used to be able to do with far fewer on my Bold). I really want to love this phone but unfortunately it just annoys me. 

    I had the same issue. Problem for me was that the wireless network did block some outgoing ports that are needed to send and receive emails (e.g. 25, 143, 465, 587, 993 etc).
    You can either ask the administrator of the wireless network to open up those ports, or you can disable your company WiFi in your settings.
    To do that, manually create a WiFi connection with exactly the name (SSID) of your company's WiFi. Then disable this WiFi connection. It will not connect to it again.

    What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?

    The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer (pc)  which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?  I am in Australia.
    I have just noticed the other discussion points - mine is set to Australia. 
    Dear Apple - as the day that the week starts on can depend on country and religion - how about making it an option that the user can change????

    I believe the week view on the iPhone is handled by the Region settings in the phone. I am not aware of any other manner to change it, as you can with Outlook.

  • Synch with Outlook 2003

    I recently have just purchased a BB 8110 and can not seem to configure it to synch with outlook 2003. I am getting a message that says "Runtime Error: Option's value is unacceptable. Please check option properties."  I have no idea what this means.
    I have verizon yahoo as my internet and email provider. Currently, I receive my email on Outlook Express. I would like to change everything, that is, my email and address book over to outlook. I then would like to synch my BB with outlook. This way everything will be in one place. Email, calendar, contacts, memo, etc.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Given the events you descrive, I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How can I get my iphone to synch with Outlook?  I do not want to use Icloud.

    I am a realtor and have used Outlook for years, but am unable to get my iphone to synch with Outlook.  Does anyone have a solution?  I have been to the Apple store and have had more than one person working on it, to no avail.

    Not sure what you've already tried, but sometimes you have to uninstall iTunes and all it's components as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes.  (This would be necessary if the Outlook plugin is missing or corrupt.)  You won't loose your iTunes library or media by doing this.

  • Iphone calendar does not synch with outlook

    Starting on Feb 1, my iPhone (5s) does not synch with Outlook (2013). Have tried many things:
    1. Building new Outlook data file (.pst)
    2. Changing synch settings in iTunes
    3. Changing USB cables
    4.Removing/reinstalling iTunes and other Aplle software
    Problem seems to have started after upgrading iOS and iTunes.
    Any idea?

    Yes, that does make sense. You can transfer data from the old .pst file without saving it as a .pst file. Archive your current .pst. Then save your contacts as vCards, and save your calendar as an iCalendar file. After creating the new .pst file, you can open the old calendar in the new .pst as well as import the vCards back to your contacts.
    Last question, did you run the scanpst.exe program to review your .pst file for corruption? You will find that, if I remember correctly, in the Office program folder. You can search for it. Run that, it prompts you for your .pst file and will scan it for problems. But saying that it started on a specific date would lead me to believe it is something you probably added that day. Out of all of the time I've been using Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013 with my iPhones, and I've had them since the first one, I've only had 2 small events, and copying over the .pst has fixed them both.

  • Palm Z22 synch. with Outlook 2007

    My old HP 4700 series PDA has died.  Fortunately, I've been backing it up to Outlook 2007.  I tried to replace it with an HP 111, but it simply would not synch. with Outlook and I eventually sent it back.  I really don't need WiFi on the PDA, so I'm thinking about going with a much simpler model and the Palm Z22 has been recommended.  I just want to make sure that it will easily synch with Outlook 2007 so I don't have to reenter all the contacts, calendar entries and notes that are presently on Outlook.  Has anyone had any problems that I should know about?  Any comments about the Z22 would also be appreciated.  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Yes, the z22 will work with Outlook. However, Palm is not selling the z22 anymore. You might be able to find it on ebay...

    I would love to do this as well. All I need is my calendar appts from outlook. Right now I am using google calendar sync, but I would like to move to the cloud and away from google. I find it hard to believe there isn't an option to do this.

    I got a question. A screen comes up on my ipod,.this game cannot be launche.This may be the result of a full ipod. Any ideas?

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.

  • When i open my computer this appears "c:\Programdata\AppleVerifierPolicy.dll  the specific module caould not be found"  i think this may be the reason why i can not open itunes store

    when i open my computer this appears "c:\Programdata\AppleVerifierPolicy.dll  the specific module caould not be found"  i think this may be the reason why i can not open itunes store

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Since 5.0.1 desktop upgrade, BBerry no longer synchs with outlook

    I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows 7 PC for the calendar, contacts, memos.  I don't do email on the blackberry at all because my family runs its own email server on a UNIX machine we keep here at home and the Verizon Blackberry setup for the Curve 8330 doesn't play well with that arrangement.
    For email I use Thunderbird connected to our own server via IMAP.
    The BBerry was fine synching with the Outlook calendar, contacts, memos but sans email in previous desktop versions.  It would complain about lack of Outlook as the default email handler, but it would soldier on and do the synch.
    NOW, apparently, if Outlook is not the default email handler, it cannot find anything to synch with and it just quits. 
    I would rather trash Outlook completely and find some other Calendar app than to use Outlook email as my default.  I moved to the BBerry from a Palm Treo.  I could dig that back out and just use the BBerry as a phone if I needed to (The Palm calendar app is better on the PDA, worse on the desktop).
    For now, I think I'm going to have to uninstall the desktop 5.0.1 and reinstall the old 4.7 version until someone can tell me how to make the synch work again... (And in the forum I can see that I am not the only one having problems with this).

    Well, I found something I can live with to make this work.
    Using the 5.0.1 desktop... before I connect the Blackberry to synch, I set the Windows 7 default email to Outlook.  Then I synch the calendar.  Then I set the Windows email default back to Thunderbird.  That works.
    I can live with this for awhile, but I would hope that eventually the desktop would allow you to synch even if you don't use Outlook email. *sigh*  I really don't need it to synch email at all... and with the amount of spam I'm filtering, trying to cope on the BBerry wouldn't be much fun anyway.
