DM Switch Device Wizard prompts in another language?. German maybe?.

I recently switched from a Palm Treo 700p to a red Blackberry Curve 8330. I installed the Desktop Manager using the User Tools CD and updated it to the most current version (4.7) without running into any problems. However, when I try to use the Switch Device Wizard to transfer my contacts and calendar to the Curve, the wizard dialog box appears in a language other than English with all options and buttons grayed out except Cancel. I've searched everywhere online, but I have not been able to find a similar occurrence or fix. Can anyone please help me with this issue?
BTW, here are some additional information about my devices and computer.
Palm Desktop Manager v 6.2.2
Palm HotSync v 7.0.2
Palm OS Garnet v 5.4.9
LAPTOP
Windows XP Pro SP3
Outlook not installed
Both the Treo and Curve are on the Sprint network.

Hi,
Visual Voicemail?
Vendors are coming out with it, Youmail has a an app for it.
Take a look on the web, I don't use it so I can't recommend.
Voice Recognition: Vlingo! Personal recommendation on this one! I ran it on my Curve and Storm!
The basic program is free, &17.99 for the plus version one time fee.

Can't get the Switch Device Wizard to work - HELP:

currently using version 4.3.0.17 of the Blackberry desktop manager and version 4.2 of the Palm desktop. When I try to use the Switch device wizard, I get to the screen where it asks me to select the software, either the Palm Treo or the Windows Mobile and I can't go any further. I can see the tick boxes but it won't let me select anything and the program doesn't do anything, i.e. no activity. Any suggestions? Has anyone actually gotten this to work? Thanks,
Pat

Any alternative to Switch Device Wizard

I had to get a new Blackberry 8320 because the port for charging or backing up the phone died. All my backed up data is now trapped in a file on my PC and I can't used Switch Device Wizard because I can't get a connection to my old Blackberry. Anyone know of an alternative way to uploading the data into my new Blackberry?

Switch device wizard freezes (Palm T|X to BlackBerry Pearl)

I am trying to transfer my calendar from my Palm T|X to my new BlackBerry Pearl. I realized I didn't have the correct version of the Palm software, so I uninstalled it and downloaded the right one. It synced correctly with my Palm, so my calendar is correct in the Palm Desktop software. When I open the BlackBerry Desktop Software and try to run the Switch Device Wizard, it recognizes that I have a Palm, and starts transfering. It gets to 1435/1536 calendar events and freezes. The program becomes non-responsive, and I've had to use the task manager to kill it several times. I've read several similar posts, none of which ever seem to be resolved, and I'm a bit concerned. I'd appreciate any help.

Cami,
Unplug the BB for the first part of the Switch, and plug it back in when it asks.
And correct--Outlook is the best and most common option for organizing your BB data on the desktop and syncing back to the BB.

Switch Device Wizard vs Backup/Restore Option

If I am getting a repalcement Blackberry (8820)- same model as I currently have; would you reccomend that I use the Switch Device Wizard instead of the backup/restore process? Or would the restore process get me the same data?
I have an Enterprise Outlook email address (from my employer) and some downloaded links for news, weather, finance, etc. I have setup my currently blackberry the way that I would like the new one to be. Is that possible with either the Switch Device or restore process?
For the application loader - if I have Windows Vista Business on my laptop and Office 2003 or 2007, can I download the Microsoft applications to my Blackberry? Is that how the application loader functions?

If you're on a BES, your data, including your Browser Shortcuts, Profile Preferences will be restored to your device from the BES when you run the Enterprise Activation.

ITunes U displaying in another language (German)

We have a couple of users in which the content that comes from Apple in iTunesU is being displayed in German, not English. It is only happening on specific computers. It is computer specific, not user specific. The content they create (specific to our site - Fairfield University), is in English, but default text that is populated by Apple (the links in a course, when modified data), is in German. Reinstalling iTunes does not fix the issue. Works fine on other computers. The computers have Windows XP SP2, iTunes 8.0.2. The language settings in iTunes is set to English and the computers language preferences in the control panel is set to English. Very weird. Any suggestions?

I have one student who is experiencing the same problem. Some of the content on his iTunes U page is in German some is in English. It's like the two languages are fighting.

If you are using the German layout, then you can use Keyboard Viewer (activated in system prefs/international/input menu like a keyboard) to see which key does what.

Transfering data using switch device manager from old palm to new curve 8330....please help!!!

Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330. Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything. I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old? If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

Hi there!
If the device switch wizard is not working, check this KB to be sure all of your Palm things are compatible and that you are using the correct process:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
And then see this KB for some troubleshooting help
KB10722 BlackBerry Desktop Manager does not detect the Palm software when using the Switch Device Wizard
And if it happens that it will not work, then you will have to find out how to export from your Palm to an ASCII or CSV file...then you can import it with this process:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
Good luck and let us know!

Can not change from French Keyboard settings to another language

Just installed a user account (french) and for some odd reason every time i change the keyboard input to another language it still switches back or simply keeps on using the french input, even if i totally de-select it from the input list and leave only the language i want to use.
i ran disk utilities to fix permissions, also fixed keychain permissions as well; still the same.
can anyone please advise on what i should do about this to get it working right?

ok i finally got rid of france and the french curse here
Your right to remove the prefs folder,
1-i moved it to the desktop, and noticed when i re-logged in what was in the pref folder,
2-then narrowed it down to the files that where again created automatically in the prefs folder for the keyboard input after i selected another country flag .
3- i then drag and dropped all the files from the previous prefs folder that had the com.apple etc, and i chose to replace what i refered, like for example my DOC prefs, and the rest i did not replace.
everything is now back, this user had so many prefs since OS9 !, wierdo.

How to use a USB-to-parallel adapter to communicate with my switch device?

My computer doesn't have a parallel port, so I must use the USB port and a USB-to-parallel adapter to communicate with my switch device. Unfortunately in WindowsXP printer configure that show USB001 Virtual printer for USB. How should I control my USB-to-Parallel converter to send the Pin1 and Pin3 high? How should I decide that I/O address in Labview (traditional LPT1 is 378AH) ?

Hi Kelvin,
I understand that you want to control pins on your serial port using LabVIEW. Since you are using Windows XP, only LabVIEW version 7.0 will be able to control the pins. The pins can be controlled by modifying the values of the access registers that windows associates with each pin. If you are using LabVIEW 7.0, then the VI's located on the Funtions >> Advanced >> Port I/O palette should help you assign values to the proper pins.
This information can also be found on another discussion forum thread located at the following url:

I set up my password in another language... iOS7 will not let me log in.

I set up my password in another language, but after the upgrade to iOS7, I cannot log in because I only have the default keyboard (english). I tried wiping the phone using iCloud, but the my phone is not connected to the internet, even though I have all bars and was connected to WiFi Smh. This is really my fault for not changing back to a normal password. Has anyone had this issue? I probably going to have to do factory restore (Yay! #sarcasm), I am just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, or even better found another resolution.

It´s a bug! No real solution available. Need to reset (start- and home- buttons pressed while connected to iTunes) and register as new device!
Good luck!

Activate or switch device issue

I purchased an Iphone 5 with my upgrade with the intent to turn around and sell it on ebay (same thing I did with my iphone 4 upgrade last time). I received the phone, brought it to the verizon store to have it activated and then get switched back to my Droid...all went well and I even called verizon later to confirm the iphone 5 had been activated on my account. Now my problem is if I go to "activate or switch device" I am still getting a "verify your new device" page with the iphone 5. Shouldn't this have gone away once my iphone 5 had been activated on my account?
With my previous upgrades, once I activated/deactivated the new phone and reactivated my old phone I was free to activate any phone I wished on that number. There are no issues with "activate or switch device" on the other 2 lines on my account, just the line I used to get the upgrade.
Any ideas?

Call customer service from a line NOT involved in the switch you want to do - 800-922-0204. Sometimes I've been able to switch devices on my own, but the last few times it's been glitchy, and I've had to call CS. To Verizon's credit, the CS reps have been very helpful and have managed to get the correct device(s) activated in relatively short order.
From the main menu, choose Option 4 (Other) and then say AGENT at the prompt - you should be connected to a live person pretty quickly.

Smartform output showing another language rather than english

Hi Experts,
in my system if any of the smartform/script output want to see it showing another language.it's not showing in english language.same smartform in my friend's system it is showing english only.
Please suggest me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat.

Hi
See the attached 2 OSS notes for your problem
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

OSS Note: 776507
Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
IN06%WINDOW2
MT0024401289

UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.
