Difficulti​es downloadin​g the Blackberry Desktop Software

I have a new Blackberry Curve 8520. I have been trying to download the desktop software. First, I put in the CD into the disk drive, but it did not read the desktop software off there. I then attempted to download it from the AT&T Blackberry website. An InstallShield appeared and after several minutes it said that the software was installed and that if it did automatically appear on the screen I should open it up from the start menu under programs. Unfortunately, I did not see the program listed in the start menu.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That sounds like the OS of the phone.
Using the link I provided you want to download Desktop Manager 5.0.1. Yes the Desktop Manager contains the device manager
Also you didn't say which browser you're using to download it from.

  • "The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

    I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time. 
    After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
    The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
    When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
    What should I do next?

    I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
    One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference. 
    Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
    If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

  • The Blackberry Desktop Software Does not work it 'freezes'

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please review the System Requirements for the RIM Desktop Software:
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/desktop-pc/system-requirements.html
    As you see, with XP, SP3 has been required for quite some time...so none of the more recent Desktop Software versions will work for you. But, those System Requirements pages are kind of messed up right now (three tabs claiming to be for "6.0.1", but with different information on each).
    If you cannot obtain SP3, then you will need to fall back to older and older versions of the Desktop Software until you find one that works under SP2. Old versions can be found here:
    http://www.blackberryos.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=110

  • How well does the Blackberry desktop software work on a Mac

    I have friend who syncs his BB 8830 a lot on his current PC. He his considering a switch to a Mac and wanted to know how well the BB desktop software works on a Mac. How would you answer that question?
    Will the BB desktop software sync calendars and contacts best with the Mac Mail and Address Book or does it work better with MS Office 2011?
    Thank you for looking.

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • I have accidently  established two (2) iclouds accts. This is causing major problems.  How do I delete one acct?? Also today I tried to sync my Blackberry 9930 with the BB Desktop software and I lost all my addresses on my BB phone

    I lost all of my contacts on my Blackberry 9930 phone while trying to sync it with the Blackberry Desktop software since I upgrade from Mobile me to ICloud on my Mac book.  It seems that the Desktop Software can't recognise ICloud contacts/Groups and my calendar will now not sync either.  My husband has a Mac Pro and a Blackberry and is having the same problems. 
    I some how have two (2) icloud accounts.  How can I delete one???  Please help!

    You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
    The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
    When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
    To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
    To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Stops working at the end of synchronization

    During synchronization, the same handful of calendar conflicts come up.  After clearing them, and at the very end of synchronization, I get a pop up that "Desktop Software stopped working"...info fades out and the only option is to hit a CLOSE button which shuts down the software. 
    I no longer receive the synchronization report and although most data does sync, I am trying to determine the cause of this.
    This is the only forum I can find.  I do not see a Blackberry support anywhere...

  • Blackberry Desktop Software V6.0.2

    I just recently joined the RIM Blackberry family. I've installed the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software, but am having trouble loading the program.
    I get a Windows error report...
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Does anyone know what issues the program could be having? I've downloaded the program multiple times, re-installed, repaired, and tried to contact Blackberry. I'm incredibly frustrated. Anyone else having this issue, and possibly knows how to fix this?

    OK I FIND SOLUTION FROM FIRST TIME. I was in January already registered under nick name HONGKONG
    and here is solution what work first time. But now after DMupdate again DONT WORK.
    I had all the same problems as everyone else on this thread, but it was just as simple as renaming Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll.old and then back to Rim.Desktop.Services.PolicyManager.dll it worked.
    The file is located in:
    C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Modules\
    I can only say RIM, I never buy again BB units. Bye [keep it courteous please].
