Error Synchronizing Calendar using Desktop Manager 4.7, Outlook 2003, on the Storm

I just installed Desktop Manager on my PC (Windows XP).
Contacts sync fine.
Calendar does not sync:
"Reading Device Calendar" goes fine.
"Processing Device Calendar" goes fine.
"Reading from MS Outlook Calendar" is where the error happens:
Desktop Manager begins reading the 988 Outlook items and consistently stops at item #227, with one of two error messages:
1) "Intellisync, Unknown Error Reported" or
2) "Operation Terminated Unexpectedly."
I followed directions for:
How to turn on advanced logging for Intellisync due to BlackBerry smartphone synchronization failureat

This operation required that I modify the iloptcfg.cfg file.
Still no luck. any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

there is a method involving enabling detailed logs on the Desktop Manager. Then it will give information about that 227th item. check the forum or th public knowledge base (click on the "SUPPORT" button on top of the present page)
if I were you, I'd just wipe the calendar database on the device, do the sync, and when it stops : open the calendar on the device and see the last event synchronized. it should be the 226th.

Issue syncing Bold 9650 and Entourage Calendar using Desktop Manager

I'm trying to sync calendar items in Entourage residing on my MacBook Pro with calendar items on my BB Bold 9650 and noticed that "Entourage" is no longer offered as a calendar choice with which to sync (I've been a BB and Entourage user for 2 years and this is a new issue - Entourage used to be offered as a choice). I tried to fix by uninstalling Desktop Manager and reinstalling with newest version - no change - problem persists. Calendar items are not syncing between BB and Entourage - any idea how to fix?

My apologies hiforman.
If you click on Calendar in BlackBerry Desktop Software does it list more than 1 calendar?
Also you're saying in Contacts does it just list entourage?
Also open up iCal on the Mac, do you see an entourage calendar listed?
I look forward to your reply.

Problem for synchronizing calendars between my iPOD 30GB and OUTLOOK 2003

Hello,
I arrive to synchronize my contacts between my iPOD and OUTLOOK 2003 via iTunes, but not the calendars.
Thank you for your help

If you have EVER sync'd Outlook 2003 with a PDA then iTunes will throw an error when trying to sync Calendars.
THE FIX:
Delete all calendar entries
(an easy way to do this is in Calendar select VIEW > Arrange By > Current View > Events)
Then Delete all entries by highlighting them all right click and select delete!
NOTE: You may have to repeat VIEW > ARRANGE By > Current View > {other categories in list i.e. "Category" and/or "Annual Events" and/or "Recurring Appointments"} To find all the entries that need to be deleted.
Once all of the calendar data is deleted you can re-input the data, but you can never sync it with a PDA otherwise you will develop the original problem again.
WHY DOES THIS WORK? Simply when a PDA syncs with Outlook it places a unique hidden identifer on each entry which screws up iTunes ability to sync with your calendars.
Hope this is clear and helps someone.

Add or edit address book using Desktop Manager

Is there any way that I can add or edit my address book using the Desktop software? I would like to input email addresses and other information into my address book on my blackberry without having to type everything in on the blackberry. I was hoping there would be a way to do that on my PC and have it sync to my phone.

he following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
Example: Synchronize addressbook -
Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

Help Needed w/Desktop Manager 4.6 & Outlook Calendar Synch

Everything was working just fine prior to my holiday break. Came back this morning and attempted to synch my BBCurve (running 4.5.0.81) with my Desktop Manager (v4.6) and it is just skipping over the calendar sync portion. No error message. Everything else is synching just fine. Deleted and reinstalled Desktop software -- that didn't work. Disabled calendar sync and re-enabled -- that didn't work. cleared the BB Calendar of all entries and now have no calendar entries on the device. HELP!

I deleted the Intellisync folder, and reset the Desktop Manager configuration settings and I received the following Intellisync error message:
The operation terminated unexpectedly while reading from Microsoft Outlook Calendar
Then I tried to sync just from Outlook Calendar to Device -- that failed
Then I tried to sync just from Device to Outlook Calendar -- that failed as well
Then I deleted Intellisync folder again and rebooted my computer
Successfully synced from Device to Outlook
Tried to sync from Outlook to Device and it appears to be running, says one moment please and nothing happens and it returns to the Desktop Manager with no error message. Grrrrr.....

E-mail issue after using Desktop Manager

I am a new BB user (Curve 8530). So I am confused with this issue. Couple of days back I connected phone to my laptop and used desktop manager (ver 5.0.0.11). I just wanted to explore the features of DM. After I disconnected from laptop, the company account emails stopped coming to the handheld nor I could send any from the company mail-id from the phone. I have configured gmail and hotmail on the BB. These were operational perfectly. Only the official mail-id was not getting synched. And I started getting mails with etp.data files in my outlook. The company BB admin guys resolved the issue. So everything was fine. But no one could tell what was wrong. So today I again connected to the phone to DM cause I wanted to move contact from outlook to phone. Now again, i have the same issue. No official emails on my phone. I am sure the admin guys will again solve the issue. But I need to know why is this happening, else i won't be able to use DM at all. can some one explain as to why this could happening. should i check/change any setting on phone or DM.

I am not sure this could help, but when you first intalled DM, did you onfigure it for Enterprise Use? Are you running 5.0.1 or 6.0? In the 5.0.1 version, you had to set it up for BES use when first installing the software.
Also, validate with IT the email and other security policies they have in place for BES users...
I know I am providing more questions than solutions, but hopefully they will steer you in the right way...

Automatic file upload using desktop manager!!

hi everyone! im new to this forum so dont knw how long it will take before people reply. lets give it a shot lol
i just wanted to know if its possible to set up their blackberry manager in such a way that it automatically uploads files to to a computer once connected to a network?
all sugestions will be much appreciated
thanks,
ricky

You're welcome.
Let's start with your device model, you've gotten to post that.
But we gotta have some detail of what you're trying to do. In your first post and thread title you mentioned with using Desktop Manager, then you most recent post says without using any "middleman".
You can use Bluetooth to transfer from the BlackBerry to the PC. You can use Desktop Manager for that, but not for document files like Word. You can use Media Manager for that transfer, but there's another middleman you don't want.
Automatic? Maybe not. Even using a simple application on your PC like SyncToy will require some user interaction.

Update software without using Desktop Manager

I'm trying to update my BB 8520 because it's been playing up (again) and I've tried using the desktop manger to update it but it doesn't seem to let me complete the update even though it says there is one. Is there anyway of updating it through the internet like a website or something, or does it have to be through the desktop manager?
Thanks.

See the link below for the download, and follow these simple installation instructions.
First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The New Mavericks Calendar uses very faint fonts, how can I increase the contrast?

Hi,
One thing can help a little is the following. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'. Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button. Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

Sync Error "An error has occurred please try again" with Contacts using Desktop Manager

Hello,
I've been trying to fix my Boss's sync issue for sometime. I hope some one can help.
He has a BB Curve
He uses Microsoft Entourage 2008 sync'd with Mac's Address Book
His desktop manager is up to date
When syncing contacts he gets "An error has occurred please try again"
I went under advanced settings and click replace everything on blackberry device. That worked and his phone is now up to date with his address book however if you don't click "Replace.." the error still occurs.
He fusterated because he wants to be able to sync back and forth not just from his computer to his phone. I hope this all makes sense and someone can help.
Thank you

Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer supports Lotus Organizer 5.0. I tried using the ASCII import feature and get a Windows XP error message 0x80040057 View Documentation.

I keep getting this error message using Vista O/S, yet works fine on XP O/S. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I only use outlook to sync contacts and my calendar and i just sync once or twice a week and its working fine. But once i get an error i have to delete the calendar file in blackberry desktop manager.
My dad does the following for his blackberry
If you getting an error message on calendar sync delete the "intellisync"
folder and then resync. The folder will be rebuilt.
The folder on my computer is under Users/"me"/AppData/Roaming/Research in
Motion/Blackberry/
I hope this helps! I've read some posts from RIM reps that say this is basically a known problem and when they release the new OS for Pearls it will be fixed and you won't need these work arounds anymore.

Hi,
I'm trying to share a calendar through ews managed api v.2 and using exchange 2013 version.
i'm preparing a shared calendar and providing values to extended properties .
Here comes the problem when i'm trying to send the sharing request(email message)
The following is code snippet.
