Issues using Desktop Manager

Thanks to all of you who try to help all of us with problems. I've just spent some 2-3 hours reading through various posts, working on my list of questions, etc. I'm not a fast reader, unfortunately. And, even while looking for the area of my specific issues I've learned things. Unfortunately, I have so many questions it's hard to imagine how I can find the time to track them all down. I have one of those jobs that generally takes much of my time, so I sometimes don't get to even check my personal email for several days.
But this message is because it mentions configuring the desktop manager, which I've had trouble with. But I can't figure out how to get the answers I need. One major issue that I find irritating is that when I start up the DM it always tries to set up email... I have set up 3 emails which are forwarded to my BBy, and I'm happy with that. One of them is MS Outlook from one of my jobs. But I can't seem to set up anything that works to keep this from reappearing each time I start up. I also don't know what I'm doing when I'm trying to configure... all the choices that I don't understand, I worry that I'll mess up something that's working well.
I've been interrupted now, so can't continue my inquiry.
Thanks for all your help.
PS: what does a tag mean?

I do not know what version of desktop software you have installed, but here is a manual read about how
the setup and synchronization process works.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Curve 8330 Freezing After Using Desktop Manager

I recently downloaded and used the new Desktop Manager for Mac from RIM, and now my phone is freezing up. If I allow the screen to go dark the phone will freeze up and not respond, though it still recognizes the shift and alt keys (the icons appear in the upper right corner). I am at a loss for what to do. a hard or soft reset fixes it temporarily, but I don't have time to do a reset every time I want to use my phone.
Please help!!!

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

How to use Desktop Manager to synchronize several address books?

Customer found on BlackBerry device - address book options - there's 2 Desktop under Address Books. How to specify which address book will be synchronized with outlook via desktop manager as a wired sync?

Your having this issue, because at first, your blackberry was trying to sync via the BES, then you hooked it up to the desktop manager. The desktop managed then tried to sync the device over the wire via the desktop manager and turned of wireless sync, how do you wanna sync, wirelessly, or through the BES?
If you wanna do it through the BES, you have to delete desktop cmime, desktop sync and desktop cical and resent those from the server to get wireless sync back.
to get to servic book, go to settings/options/advanced options/service book and scroll to these service books and delete them, then from the bes manager, repush service books will resent them, this can take up to 15 minutes though.
If you wanna sync via the wire, just sync with the desktop manager, you should not be trying to do both
If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

Just upgraded to Lion, problem now syncing contacts onto Blackberry using Desktop Manager

I just upgraded to Lion, got iCloud going. Works great with my iPhone, but my husbands Blackberry no longer syncs properly using the Blackberry Desktop Manager. Installed the latest version of that program & still no luck. The calendar, music and photos sync fine, but all of the contacts have been wiped out now on the phone and not a single one will sync over from the mac.

I have the same problem. I've tried many solutions but no success. ICloud has been a curse. I love my Mac but if I can't sync my BB 9930, I may have to change.

Synching Issues After Desktop Manager 6 Upgrade

Since I upgraded to Desktop Manager 6.0.0, I have two problems:
1) it no longer is synching my notes and tasks. When I click "Organizer" to look at the configuration options, it now says that Tasks and Memo Pad are not installed. They used to synch just fine.
2) When I do a 2-way synch for the calendar data, it want to makes changes to data that hasn't changed, and it wants to delete data that I haven't delected so I end up cancelling the synching altogether.
I suppose I could do a one time one-way synch from my computer to the device (my computer is generally more up-to-date than the device, but it makes me very nervous that the synching is so screwed up.
Help please!
Cyndy

Same thing. Sync was working perfectly. I upgraded and now the Desktop software very (un)helpfully comes up with an "unknown error".
I've reinstalled the desktop software and same (un)helpful error message
Suggestions, not including buying an iPhone, very gratefuly received

Can't sync Outlook 2010 contact pictures to Blackberry using desktop manager?

I'm new to the forum. I have an issue with syncing my Blackberry Tour to with my Outlook 2010 through Desktop Manager 6. All the data for Calendar and Contacts syncs correctly except for the contact photos. When I sync the photo's from Outlook don't transfer over to the blackberry and If I have a photo attacked to a contact on the blackberry it get's removed. There is one exception to this and that is that Facebook photo's linked to contacts remain on the blackberry as well as Outlook. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi asrjcb,
I would recommend downloading and installig the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager. This now has support for Microsoft Outlook 2010 64-bit.
