Help - how to fully remove "Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1" splash

Hi
Some months ago, and purely as a favor I installed Blackberry Desktop Software V6.1 onto my PC (an old but faithful Vista box). I don't own or use a Blackberry (I prefer Nokia ... but what can you do, eh?) but someone who was visiting me did have a Blackberry and wanted to use it and access the Internet and asked if I could install this RIM software. A big mistake ... read on.
When the visitor had left, I naturally removed the Blackberry software (exactly as one does for all Windows based PC's). At the time, it seemed to have worked as this software disappeared from the set of installed programs.
Except that I clearly didn't remove it completely. Since that time virtually every time I use any software of any genesis that requires access to either image or video files (the most recent occasion being Picasa 3) I see a splash screen ...
... titled: Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1
... saying: The feature you are try to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
... and: Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Blackberry Desktop Software.msi' in the box below
I can cancel the splash and it simply re-starts. This splash is linked to a variety of different windows processes depending on the application (in the case of Picasa the process was called "moviethumbs") which I then had to remove by erasing the entire process tree with the Windows Task Manager. And it still re-started after a few seconds as long as the application was executing.
I have discovered (from various bloggers) that removing this Blackberry software using the Task Manager still leaves remnants and I've had to use the RegEdit utility to clean up RIM (& Puma Technology) entries as they suggest.
But the **bleep** splash still won't die - can anyone (maybe even the vendor) help me to remove every last trace of this benighted program?
Thanks

Hello murphythedog,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums!
To fully delete BlackBerry Desktop Manager what your going to do is go in to your Hard Drive and go into Appdata(For Windows7) and find Research In Motion Ltd delete that and your done!

You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

How to fully remove programs?

hi all,
I've just installed realplayer from their site, and I just thought: how do I remove it? If I ever need to uninstall any program I haven't installed via pacman fully, and the corresponding installer does not have an "uninstall" option, what do I do?
Does this mean that the problem with Windows folders cluttering and filling with junk still hapens in linux? The perfect solution would be to remove everything related to the program fully, even the symlinks if any.
Help appreciated!

kcy29581 wrote:well, the real installer asks you where to install during the installation itself. Is that what you mean? If I use ABS will the only difference be that I can fully uninstall the program or is there more involved, and it will still do all the *.bin's steps?
The different is the software will be manage by pacman so you can easily wipe out any file created when installing the software. This mean you will not have to delete all the files manually, just type pacman -Rcns $pkgname and all the installed files will be deleted (except maybe some configuration files in your home directory).

BB Curve 8310 Not sure how to upgrade handheld OS/Which Desktop Software?, questions

I am a new smartphone user, this is my first.
The OS version I have on my phone now is V4.5.0
Should I upgrade to V4.50.306? (I have AT&T as my carrier and that is the most current upgrade available.)
What happens when I do the upgrade?
Will I loose any programs on my phone, like Documents To Go, Facebook, Email Accounts I've already set up, or information in my address book?
Which Desktop software should I download? (I have AT&T as my carrier and they list these as the available versions) (I have Windows Vista on my laptop.)
V6.0.1
V5.0.0 Service Pack 1 (5.0.1)
V4.7
V4.5
Also, how do I run Outlook from my BB and sync to my desktop? Does this use data to do this? Am I better off to use the calendar already provided on my phone? Or are their other options? I want to be able to sync a calendar on my laptop to my BB (sort of like I do now with my Palm Zire and my laptop.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, that is a lot of questions for one post, but let me take a shot at it.
First download/install desktop software 6.0.1, its the newest, its backwards compatable with all devices and its pretty easy to use.
When you plug your device in, desktop software will let you know if an update is available (only through your carrier though). When you update through desktop software it should preserve all your data.
As for syncing to outlook, you can set up desktop software to syncronize between your BlackBerry and a program on your computer (such as outlook) via your USB cable (not data). It can syncronize 4 things: Address book (aka contacts), Calendar, Tasks (aka to-do list), and memo pad.
I think I answered everything.
Any other quesitons?

Where can I find the "Blackberry desktop software"???.....

...I have Verizon wireless and it is not listed on either of the discs I received with phone. i know it is available online to download but before downloading, i get a message stating "Note:If you did not purchase BlackBerry directly from Research In Motion (RIM), please contact your service provider to determine if this software has been authorized for use with your handheld." I contacted Verizon and they don't seem to know either. Any help is appreciated.
Solved!

"unable to login to blackberry ID account" and unable to connect to "blackberry desktop software" please help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Honestly, that's a pretty vague set of symptoms to provide. Could you perhaps provide a bit more? For instance...what exact sequence of steps do you perform that reaches these error messages? Details and exactness will help keep us from guessing, and guessing from vague descriptions really helps no one.
Good luck and let us know!

How to download earlier version of desktop software

On the home page there is a link saying "Download earlier version of PC software", however when you click on it, it only allows you to download 7.1
Not very impressed with BlackBerry at the moment....

Still can't seem to download any versions other than the latest, 7.10 b039. I'm getting very frustrated. This version doesn't work properly (screens show up transparently, so they are unusable), and yet I can't back up to an older version, and there doesn't seem to be any help available online. I'm about to toss my BB out the window!
Did you try the link provided in the post above yours? Sadly, from "Still can't seem to download any versions other than the latest", I cannot tell if you attempted that or not. There is also this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

How to FULLY remove metadata (author, file location, etc) of a PDF to really make it anonymous?

Here is an example: when creating a PDF from, e.g., using TextEdit and "Print > Save as PDF",
the dialog box gives the possibility to change or remove the authors.
However, other informations such as the location of the file are written in the PDF file,
and this can be an easy way to identify the author.
... and opening the PDF file using Adobe Reader and going to File > Properties > Description
you can see this location (which display the full path and, e.g., your login if it is used in the path).
Location is just one example and perhaps there are other problems like that (?)
So, is there a robust way to remove ALL the metadata from a PDF file *** indepently on how it was generated *** ?
Thanks for your help!
Pierre
PS: There several discussions on this topic but I haven't found the answer to solve the problem globally

Best way if you have a large screen is to use command shift 4 and draw a box around the PDF image, a image file appears on your desktop.
Open that in the free LibreOffice drawing (several pages if needed) and then Print > PDF
No hidden meta data there.

Help - how can I remove text in the background?

I am translating a text from English into Portuguese in a document created in Germany (as .mif 7).
After I inserted the Portuguese text, a ruler and the words "498 Entwurf 15.06.2011" in red and "Abstand" in sky blue started to appear in the background, as well as some kind of a grid (please see attached image). I need them to disappear when the document is printed, but I haven't been able to make them disappear so far. The words in red indicate the name of the document (498) and the date when it was originally created. I need the document to have a white background only with the letters in black and images (just like the original, but in Portuguese - no words in sky blue and red and no grid).
This is probably easy to solve and I may sound really silly, but I've already lost 3 hours and I'm getting desperate because I need to deliver the document as soon as possible.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best,
Paulo Rodrigues

Hi,
I think the converter you are using to convert it to portuguese is a free converter and it has been noticed that when you use the free or trial version of any converter ,it generally puts its name in the PDF document and you have to buy that product to get rid of it.If thats true then we would not be able to remove that text.
Kindly let me know if thats correct what i said.
Thanks
Harpreet.

I've upgraded to 10.7. How can I remove iDisk from desktop?

I've upgraded to 10.7 and iCloud. I no longer need iDisk but it won't go into trash because it's treated like a drive on my desktop. I like seeing what drives are connected on my desktop but I don't need iDisk. Any suggestions?

The reason you can't eject the iDisk is presumably because you had 'iDisk Syncing' enabled.
If you are still logged in in System Preferences>MobileMe, go to the iDisk pane and stop iDisk syncing. Also go to the Sync pane and stop any swyncing which is running. Then go to the account pane and sign out.
If you are already signed out you can't sign back in again (though in this even the local iDisk should have disappeared anyway). If you are still having problems, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

How do i remove from my desktop the UNTITLED hard drive of Boot Camp?

Its just sitting there, but i doesent to anything, any way to get rid of the icon from the desktop?
tnx
Week 27 17" MacBook Pro 2.16 100GB@7200rpm Glossy 1GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.7) Runing Bootcamp (games), Parallels (applications)

but its a read only, y cant rename the file...
I haven't used Boot Camp, so this is just a guess, but...
I'm guessing you're trying to rename the Book Camp partition when booted from Mac OS X? If so, can you rename it when you're booted from Windows, instead?
If not, I'd suggest asking in the Boot Camp forum. (Or, rather, searching there first if you haven't; asking if you don't find the answer already posted.)
Not that you can't ask here - you're just more likely to get more targeted answers there.

How do you remove a third party software update on Lion?

A friend recently pulled an update to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1. The update version is 3.6.2. Consequently, RDP does not work when connecting to a Windows machine remotely.
NOTE: I realize Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 is no longer supported for OSX Lion and later. However, I use this same client successfully on a 2009 Intel MBP upgraded to Mountain Lion. I did NOT pull this third party software update and RDP works without fail.
Troubleshooting steps to date:
Attempted Uninstall/reinstall of RDP.
Failed.
My goal is to "roll back" this specific application prior to the software update without having to restore OSX.
Please help locate the specifc program files to be removed. I'm willing to remove manually through Terminal with the right instruction.
Thanks!

How can I remove a flag using a rule in Mail.app?

I'm using Mail Act-On to flag messages that are important. I also have got a smart mailbox that displays only those messages that are flagged, this is my "To Do" mailbox.
Once I've read and answered the message I want to remove the flag, preferrably via a rule using Mail Act-On as well. However in the rules dialog in the Mail.app preferences there's only the option to set a flag, not to remove one.
Can anyone help: how can I remove a flag using a rule?? Maybe via Applescript as the last resort?
Thanks for any advice Jan

Hi Jan
I haven't gotten around to put unread and unflag into Mail-ActOn but MailTags has the functionality. MailTags also allows you to mark a message unread via act-On rule.
It is interesting to note that apple doesn't include unflag and unread as the rules were originally intended to apply only to new messages (of which none should be read or flagged) with that logic, there would be no need for unread, unflagg.
@David: The reason to do it via Act-On rule would be to set up a sequence of events, one of which is to unflag, others may be to set keywords, move messages, set colors etc.
