ICal data and BB Desktop Manager

Hey there, I have an issue with BlackBerry Desktop Manager. First, in order to get the most out of my Curve 8330 I set up my device calendar to keep data for 60 days, thinking that it wouldn't affect my computer's data. But now I'm trying to sync my BB to my iMac and a sync alert window pops up saying that 5% or more of data on computer will be deleted. Here's my question, is there a way to set up BB Desktop so my iMac will win the conflict? If not what should I do. I want to keep the data on my iCal!! Anyone has the same problem? Or am I just not getting it? Thanks.

Well I'm pretty sure I resolved or rather patched my problem. Changed the advanced setting in the calendar pane to only future events and it seems to be working fine.

Lost my Blackberry and want to access data in Blackberry Desktop Manager

I lost my Blackberry. I have data backed up in Blackberry Desktop Manager but not in Outlook, Google Mail or any other application. Can I get the data out of Desktop Manager and into one of these other applications without having my old (or a new) Blackberry?

BlackBerry cannot sync with iCal for Mac using Desktop Manager (2.0)

Hello,
I still using my blackberry Bold 9700 a long time and I am happy with this device. I no switched to a Mac and my problems started, Unfortunately I can't sync with the Desktop Manager (2.0) my calendar. It create a problem: Can't sync please try it again
I tried the proposed ideas (forget device..) but there was no solution.
In general I only like to "copy" the calendar datas from my BB to ical. (so one way), but also I can't find to select this choice, only two way or no sync.
Thanks for your support and ideas!

Sycronize problem with 8120 pearl and BB Desktop Manager

Hi I recently tried to sync my BB with my laptop to update the calendar but it failed. I have done this in the past and had no problems. The error message displayed is "unable to read application data" This happens when the desktop manager is tranferring the address book it gets to 87 out of 90 and the message pops up which then stops the sync from continuing and I have not got the added calendar appointments that I wanted. I have tried resetting my phone by taking the battery out but no luck. Nothing has changed on either laptop software or phone software they are both running the same versions as when it worked previously. Any Suggestions?

Thanks, I had already found the solution and you are correct. I had just forgot to come back and mark this as solved. Thanks for the assistance.

Lost my iCal data and bookmarks with a Time Machine migration

I needed to reinstall my OS (due to a partitioning issue). i didn't have room on my re-partitioned hard drive to restore everything, but I did restore my apps. No when I open foxfire I don't have any bookmarks, and iCal doesn't have any of my calendar data. Is that data stored somewhere else on the time machine back-up? Or did I loose it because I didn't export my bookmarks and back-up my iCal data before I reinstalled?
Thanks,
Nancy

none of user data for any applications is ever stored in the applications themselves. it's always stored inside user's home directory. that's what you should have restored, not the applications. specifically, ical data is stored in /users/username/library/calendars and firefox data in /users/username/library/application support/firefox. see this link for more info

How do you transfer ical data and address book from a mac back up to an ipad?

I have a HD back-up from my mom's dead imac g5.
I am sending her an iPad, and would LOVE to have here Address Book and iCal data so she has that all set up.

If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

Sun Ray Server Software and Sun Desktop Manager integration

Hello,
I have installed and configured SRSS and Desktop Manager..and they're working.
But... how to integrate them?...

Will the Sun Ray Server Software 1.2 for Workgroup
Servers work on a Sun Blade 100?Yes, it'll work. An SB100 won't support many
concurrent Sun Ray users but it'll be OK for a
handful of users doing normal (non-multimedia)
work. Put as much physical memory into the box
as you can afford, and remember to configure an
appropriate amount of swap.

Windows 7 - Outlook Calendar - and BB Desktop Manager

Everythig was fine until one day..........
I installed Windows 7, and Microsoft 2007 including Outlook.
My BB Curve 8330 using the Desktop manager (no media manager, actually I tried both) does not sync my calendar from Device >>to>> Desktop. It syncs my memo pad, task, and contacts but not my calendar. I've checked all the program associations on the BB manager and it all seems to be set up fine. HELP!!!

I have a BlackBerry Bold (9000) and I am having the same problem. I am using Desktop Manager 4.7 with Windows 7 x64 RC (build 7100).
Everything synchronizes fine, except the calendar. If I uncheck everything in the synchronization options and just leave the calendar checked, when it starts to synchronize, it doesn't do anything.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts!!
Thanks!!

Outlook 2010 Technical Preview and Blackberry Desktop Manager

Hi There, This is my first post in this forum, requesting you to kindly help as I am really stuck. Coming back to the issue, I have recently installed the MS Office 2010 Technical Preview and am very much enjoying the same. However, I failed to make my Blackberry Desktop Manager 5 work with it, so am unable to sync my BB now Please help. Regards,

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Because you're using software that is not yet official, its in your own hands. I'm pretty sure that the Desktop Manager software is not yet compatible with Office 2010 as it's not yet an official release. Unfortunately this is the catch with using beta software or technical previews. Software developers must rewrite their software to ensure it is compatible with that software and because there can often be changes between the beta or technical preview and the final version, many software developers prefer to wait until the official version is out before releasing their own fully compatible program.
At this point, you have two options as I see it:
Downgrade from the Office 2010 Technical Preview to a compatible version of Microsoft Office.
Don't sync with Microsoft Outlook until a compatibleupgrade of Desktop Manager is released.

BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0 and latest Desktop manager

I attempted to install BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0, it told me I had a newer version of desktop manager and I should remove it. I dont think I want to do that, any one have any suggestions I would like to build my own themes.
Thanks

Hey....
I'm having the same issue. Were you able to resolve it or still nothing?
Any info would be great....thanks.

Difference between pocket mac and new desktop manager?

i use pocket mac and its fine for my bberry contacts, etc.should i change to the new software?

I agree with deepblade. I know a few people who downloaded the software without reading all the instuctions, or without doing a complete uninstall of pocketmac. Also some people didn't not check the proper sync services to make sure their device was being seen.
For me pocketmac never worked and completely screwed up my contacts.
Although DM is not perfect, IMHO, its 10 times better than pocket mac.
For those claiming they are going to run out an buy an iphone, get over yourselves. There is no perfect device or associated software that works 100% out the gate everytime for everyone.
I'm sure when DTM for the PC was introduced there were issues. RIM seems to have teh PC version under control and people seem happy. I'm new (6 weeks) to blackberry/RIM but I like my device and I would like to give them a chance and I hope they are reading this board and people are calling/email with issues so that they can be addressed/correct ASAP!

Desktop manager wants to delete calendar appointments in both bb and outlook.

I have had my bb 8330 since last August. I have had to delete and reinstall desktop manager multiple times due to various problems. Recently I sync'd and lost appointments in both the bb and in outlook. DM will not allow me to override the flagging to delete. I deleted DM and reinstalled the newest version with media, attempted to resync and it still wants to delete. Currently I have 40+ appointments in the bb that are not in outlook (they had been at some point). I also have appointments in Outlook that the sync wants to delete from the bb. On top of this, I have lost contacts I didn't realize until I tried to use them (appear to have been deleted by the bb from my outlook).
The "Details to confirm calendar edits" window box in desktop manager allows clicking to view the entry but does not allow me to override the status of either delete or add so I cannot change the deletions to additions, etc.
I looked in the options in DM to see if there was a place where I could change a setting which would allow me to override the status but couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Otherwise I think the only way to fix it is to write down all of my appointments in both the bb and outlook, attempt a sync and re-enter all the appointments again. Time consuming!! And if I need to do that I may as well go back to a hardcopy calendar.
A friend suggested that if there is too much data in the bb that it will only keep the newest entries and maybe that is why I have lost some data.
So, along those lines can someone tell me how to do a mass delete of e-mails on the bb directly? I know how to delete one e-mail but cannot figure out how to flag more than one.
Thanks! motomom3

on the device if you open messages, highlight the newest one you want to delete, click menu button, and click delete prior, this will delete eveything older than it.
if you plug into DTM, goto backup/restore - advanced... you can completely clear the messages database
what DTM and device sofwtare do you have?
DTM- help-about
device- options- about, 3rd line down, v4.x.x.x
you can go to c:\documents and settings\(your username)\research in motion\blackberry\ and delete the intellisync folder
then go in and setup sync settings again

Uncaught error java nullpoint exception, email icons disappeared, application loader unable to back up data, desktop manager unable to connect

Model: Curve 8900
Provider: At&t
Platform: 4.2.0.108
I'm ready to throw this phone in the blender.... if I could only back up my data first. A couple of months ago the What's App application required an update. I updated it and ever since my phone has steadily had more and more issues. First, I kept getting this uncaught error message, shortly thereafter the 2 email accounts (both gmail) that I have linked to the account disappeared. The message icon shows that I have messages, but icons not there (I have tried the show all option). At one point the message icon started exponentially adding the number of messages until it got up to over 86,000. When I reboot the phone it goes back down and then steadily increases again... usually though it's more to 400 - 500 rather then tens of thousands. I have been trying to install updates and do a wipe of the BB so that I can start from scratch, unfortunately the application loader is unable to back up data. The desktop manager is unable to connect to the blackberry and indicates that an upgrade is required. I have tried doing the upgrade both directly from the phone and connected to the desktop manager, but nothing seems to work. If I try to upgrade the software directly from the BB, I get to the start download button and when I click, nothing happens. I have removed all applications except bberry app world and one game that I play, Pixelated Plus. Still nothing. Any ideas?

Do you want to save the messages?
If not (and I think they are the problem) open the Desktop Software > Device > Delete Data and click the "select Data" option. Select the Messages to remove. Complete the prompts and finish.
Then, return to backup the entire device, and see if that is possible to complete this time with no messages.
Now, once the back up is done and you have your data, you can disconnect the device.
Now, use BBSAK to wipe the device and subsequently load the new operating system.
**If you cannot complete the backup again above, you might have to do without it, OR you can use the Desktop Software to sync your Address book, calendar, memos and tasks to Outlook. OR, you can easily install and use BlackBerry Protect to backup your device over the air to RIM servers, then once wiped and the new OS reloaded, you can use Protect to restore the data back to the 8900. << This you should do regardless.
Good luck, post back here as you have questions.

Desktop manager update and two phones

The wife and I both have8320 Curves. I synced my phone to the desktop manager last year she did not. Today I downloaded an upgrade for the phone software and the desktop manager. Now my phone has the new software and the manager has a new look but how do I get the new version of desktop manger to look and my wife’s phone? To install the upgrade to the phone it has to go through desktop manager but it will only see my phone. How can I change the pin# to the one for her phone?
Anyone?
Thanks for any help
Gary

If all you're looking to do is to upgrade your wife's OS, you can run the Loader application by itself.
Click Start --> Run, and enter this (WITH QUOTES):
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe"
If you've installed Desktop Manager 4.7 you shouldn't even need to install the OS for the device. The latest version (and possibly 4.6) will retrieve a list of carriers, the devices they support, and the latest OS available from them automatically, and if Loader determines that a newer version is available it will automatically download it and install it.
If you're not using Desktop Manager 4.7 or 4.6, you'll need to either upgrade DM or download and install the OS from the carrier.

Drag and drop notes from mail onto an ical date

I've had some trouble dragging and dropping notes onto an ical date. It shows up as some lengthy message, probably its address on the hard drive, and when I open it, I can't make changes to it. Where can I make a suggestion to apple on how to improve the synchonicity of these 2 apps? Ideally, I'd like to just drag and drop a note, such as a to do list, onto an ical date, and be able to make changes to it there. Or, am I mistaken? Are the notes and to dos actually saved on a mac server, not on my computer somewhere?
Thanks!
Rod

The "lengthy message" is simply the message ID in Mail. If you drag the message to iCal, it will simply set up a link back to that message.
If you drag text from Mail, you will get a new event with all that text as the event title.
I suspect what you want can be achieved by creating an event, naming it and setting its time etc then opening the edit popup and dragging your text or email message onto the notes field at the foot of that popup.
