Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly
On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26. Very annoying indeed!
Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
event. But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
Does anyone know anything about this?
I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event. e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm. The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem. However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options. The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook. FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change. I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade. Grrrrr.....

The Blackberry Desktop Software Does not work it 'freezes'
I have on my laptop the Blackberry Desktop Software, which has being working fine for a long time, but suddenly it 'freezes' nothing is working. I have un-installed it, run Ccleaner to clean up registries, re-installed it again and the same thing happens IT "FREEZES" don't know the reason??? Need help because I always do my backups on my BB.
Blackberry Desktop Software characteristics:
Version 6.0.2.42
Released April 13, 2011 (Bundle 43)

Please review the System Requirements for the RIM Desktop Software:
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop/desktop-pc/system-requirements.html
As you see, with XP, SP3 has been required for quite some time...so none of the more recent Desktop Software versions will work for you. But, those System Requirements pages are kind of messed up right now (three tabs claiming to be for "6.0.1", but with different information on each).
If you cannot obtain SP3, then you will need to fall back to older and older versions of the Desktop Software until you find one that works under SP2. Old versions can be found here:

Good luck!

Blackberry Desktop Software will not Sync with Outlook
Hello,
I recently installed Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1 for Windows on a PC and it will not allow me to sync with outlook calendar, memos and contacts. It will however sync windows Contacts, if I try to select the option to sync with calendar or memos it gives me an error that now compatible software can be found and to visit blackberry.com/desktop/docs. I am running Outlook 2010 32bit in Windows 7 with the latest Blackberry desktop software. I am not to familiar with Blackberry so any help would be greatly appreciated!Well I believe I have figured out the answer to my own question, I ended up having to do a repair installation for Office 2010 and I was able to sync from outlook to the Blackberry.

BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize my device
My problem is that when I plug my phone into my desktop computer by USB it will charge, but when I go to do anything to by means of BlackBerry Desktop Software the program does not recognize that my device is plugged in. This has been going on for months now that it will not sync, I just haven't desperately needed to sync my phone until now. I have tried pulling the battery and pulling the sim card. I have also tried other USB cords.

Blackberry Desktop Manager does not show Media Manager
First, let me say I am a NEW Blackberry user, my hubby and I both got new Blackberry Curves 8310 recently.
When I installed the disc that came with the phone, the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not have the "Media Manager" as one of the choices, as was shown on all of the booklets and tutorials. I even re-installed the program, thinking maybe it didn't download completely the first time, but it still comes up showing only these 4:
Synchronize, Backup & Restore, Application Loader, and Switch Device Wizard.......
All of the directions I've received show that I can easily add pictures and music simply by clicking on Media Manager, but it just isn't there.
Here is info about the installation disk that we received with our phones, supposedly the correct and latest versions . . ..
Blackberry Desktop Manager
version 4.3.0.17 (Nov.12 2007)
Device Communications Blackberry Device mgr....4.3.0.7
BBDevMgr ................4.0.0.1
RIM USB Driver.............4.0.0.2
RIM USB Serial Driver.......2.1.0.4
Application Loader Application Loader ..........4.3.0.13
RIMProgram .....................1.0.0.35
Seriously, none of these really means a whole lot to me, I just want to click on something and have it work . . . I did try to "upgrade" to a newer version, and I got the message that the version I had was the newer one, so now what?
I have memory cards inserted in the phone(s).
I will appreciate any help with this, I'm really frustrated. I figured out how to move files manually, but I don't understand why it isn't showing up as illustrated in the instruction manuals and online tutorials.
Solved!

Desktop Software does not start - really not at all
Hi everybody,
I hope this is not a common problem...
I installed the latest version of DM (710_b033_multilanguage) successfully on my PC.
Win7 (64bit), 8GB Ram, plenty of Diskspace and sufficient Video HW
As mentioned the installation was successfully.
When I start immediately a windows error message pops up, telling me the the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not work anymore (translated from the original German popup) and that Windows is looking for a solution. Sure enough Windows does not find anything and the window disappears without further notification.
I tried
- reinatalling
- repairing
- installing on SSD as well as on standard HDD
- searching the blog on "not start"
- cussing
- and now posting
Can anybody help - please?
Cheers
TThanks :-)
but unfortunately it did not work - still the same error:
Cheers

"The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair
I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time.
After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
What should I do next?
co-founder of Diaree | BB Dev for PictureThisI also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference.
Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks. -

How well does the Blackberry desktop software work on a Mac
I have friend who syncs his BB 8830 a lot on his current PC. He his considering a switch to a Mac and wanted to know how well the BB desktop software works on a Mac. How would you answer that question?
Will the BB desktop software sync calendars and contacts best with the Mac Mail and Address Book or does it work better with MS Office 2011?
Thank you for looking.
Solved!

I get the following error when I try to create a Virtual desktop
collection;
"The Virtual desktop template does not meet the provisioning requirements."
although I'm specifing a sysprep'd VM installed WS2012 for a virtual desktop template.
Is there any way to resolve?
Or, is there any couses of this message?
thanks.I realize this is an old thread. I'll post and see if I get a response. If not, I'll create a new thread. My question is how does Microsoft suggest SPLA partners create VDI pools since they cannot license Windows 7 or 8 via SPLA? Why
would you restrict the provisioning to only the desktop operating systems that you won't allow partners to license for deployment?
Are there any plans to change this to include 2008 R2 or WS2012 as the base OS for a VD template?

The "automatic Install" in the windows support software does not work. I cannot see the USB in Windows to manually start set up.
I have downloaded windows support software from Apple 3 time with the same result. Where can I get a clean copy of the Windows support software?Did you correctly format your usb stick in accordance with the Boot Camp installation instructions? Go here to the Boot Camp System Requirements page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, look for your computer model/year and download the correct version of Windows Support software.

Desktop manager does not recognize Outlook 2003.
Hello everyone,
We have an Exchange server but use POP3 accounts individually on the users also.
I have installed this software (desktop manager) many times with other clients and never had an issue.
On this particular user using Blackberry 9550 v5.0.0.713 I have installed and then uninstalled desktop manager 6.0 because it saw that we had Exchange and automatically assumed Enterprise Server was present, when I chose not to use Enterprise account, it did not see Outlook as a choice to synchronize with.
I then removed 6.0 removed user settings, restarted and installed Desktop Mangager 5.01 sp1. I chose the option for personal mail. The synchronize configuration still does not list Outlook as a choice to configure.
Has anyone else run into this?
I found a post that said to make sure that Wireless Sync is off and it is.
Help please,
JeanneHey giaierj,
