Just updated desktop - it keeps freezing

Against  my better judgement, I allowed the new desktop update to be installed. TOTAL DISASTER! The last one was bad, this was worse, if possible.
When I try to exit, it keeps freezing. I have to force a close via the Task Manager (3 times!). I have shut down, rebooted, both the PC and BB, and the problem isn't getting any better. I have already lost too much calendar information and too many contacts, I can't afford to lose any more. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Sof​tware-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-​...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over (with several optional items for cleanly removing, which you may need to use), 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!

  • Desktop software keeps freezing

    Hey Guys.
    Normally I'm using Linux - but not for my BB at this moment - just bought it.
    Unfortunably I'm having huge problems with the desktop software.
    Neither on WindowsXP pro or Windows7 Ultimate I'm able to connect using USB to my BB.
    (keeps saying connecting in the buttom rigth corner)
    I type in the Passwd on the unit and screen - and then nothing happends!
    Cannot see which contacts, Apps og files I got on my BB. 
    I've tried several times uninstall the desktop software and then reinstall after a reboot - But still the same thing happends each time!
    Have you got any idea for this problem!

    Did you find a fix? I have been having this problem with my 9810 since I got it. It is a bug in the 'social feeds' app. there are 2 things you can do,
    1) delete the social feeds from your handset if you don't use it
    2) set the DM to perform a 'custom back up' put a tick next to all the items apart from social app and smart card, it is not hanging on the smart card back up but the social feeds is next alphabetically.
    To perform step 2 I had to connect my BB and cancel the back up BEFORE it reached the hanging point.
    It's worked for me so I'm a happy user again! Can't take the credit though for this work around, see this link if you have any further problems.

  • Just updated iTunes now it freezes and crashes my computer? anyone have a solution? I'm using windows 7 home premium

    My iTunes has been freezing when it opens then crashes my computer. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated yet it still will not open? I am using windows 7 home premium 3.2GHz with 4Gig of ram. All my other programs work flawless but iTunes will not? anyone have a solution?

    Having found a working library file it may pay to copy it into the standard location and reconnect to it there. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for the steps I would normally have given.

  • Back up and update keeps freezing!!

    This is so frustrating! I tried to update my Bold 9900 this morning and it just froze at the back up. So I tried to just back up my phone first but it keeps freezing at "Backing up Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and it won't carry on. What am I to do? I'm having major problems with the battery and all sorts, my last blackberry was as good as gold, this one is just awful!!

    I'm having the exact same issue. At first I thought it was my new Torch 9860, but after reading this I suspect it's something in the Desktop Software. It does the same thing whether backing up to update or doing a stand-alone backup: it gets to "Database: Smart Card Options 1 of 1 Record" and hangs.
    This is really bad because I haven't been able to get a good backup since I switched to my Torch!

  • My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

    1.  If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
    2.  If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network?  Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)?  If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem.  Genius bar would be the next step.

  • Mac keeps freezing at desktop launch

    I have a problem with my Mac mini whereby I am able to startup and launch the desktop on most occasions but if I attempt to do anything such as open a folder the colour wheel just keeps freezing. I am running OS X 10.6.8 and I have started disk utility from install disk and done the repairs and repai permissions and restarted in safe mode and the same thing happens.
    I have tried downloading diskwarrior on to a USB with partitions from threads I have seen elsewhere and tried to run that from startup without luck.
    I am not sure if there is anything else I can try? A hardware test did not pick up errors.
    The repair permissions repaired an invalid file count but that seems to have no impact on function
    Thanks.

    Hello R, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • HT4623 updated to ios7 on Sunday - I am having major problems with my phone since - keeps freezing - updated itunes first then backed up my phone to my laptop.  Is it worth it at this stage doing a restore?

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios7 on Sunday and have been having m?ajor problems with my phone since.  It keeps freezing and I have to constantly press the home and on/off switch to get it to restart.  I had updated my itunes and backed up the phone before doing the update.  I'm getting very frustrated at this stage as the phone is practically useless.   Is it worth doing a restore?  Bearing in mind that I just tried to do that and got a message to turn off the 'find phone' feature in settings and when I tried to get into settings the phone froze again.

    I don't have a good answer for you but reading these forums, it seems that network drives can often cause problems with iTunes like you describe.

  • Safari keeps freezing after the 5.1.4 update

    Safari keeps freezing up after the 5.1.4 update. I have no extensions. I also tried using firefox and it too freezes so it might not just be a safari problem.

    I'm convinced that something is possibly broken in Safari 5.1.4.  It's the first Safari update that has actually forced me back into using Google Chrome.  I've had intermittent beach balls and system wide stalls since moving to 10.7.3 (including Safari 5.1.4).  Removed every extension in Safari without avail.  Activity Monitor and Console never conclusively pinned down the culprit.  I finally moved back to Chrome, and my system is working again as intended.
