Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this. 
More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work with Curve 9310

    Can anyone help me troubleshoot why the Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work when I plug my Balckberry Curve 9310 into the USB port.  The program freezes and shuts down.  If I try to use the device switch wizard I get this message "Fatal Error has occured while updating your device's software. Please try again."  I had to purchase a new Blackberry because my provider doesn't work in my new location so I bought StraightTalk Blackberry because I use it for business and I am familar with the phone.  I am desparate to get my connections loaded onto my new phone. Help!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I suggest this thread:

    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!

  • Sync on desktop manager won't start with new 9700

    I am attaching my 9700, with a USB cable, to my laptop. The Desktop Manager software opens but it will not start the sync'ing process with my device.
    - the little "check" box - "automatically synchronize device and computer when USB connected" is switched on
    - I am using the latest version of Desktop Manager
    - the "Synchronize" tab is in grey. It's grey'ed out. When my curser hovers over "Synchronize" it won't light up, as in, it won't let me press the Synchronize button to initiate the process.
    - my 9700 is brand new. I had no synchronizing problems with my previous model, the Curve.
    - my laptop is a great device, I don't currently, nor haven't had, any issues with it in the past - DELL D420 Latitude. I seem to have all the drivers I need
    - I am running Windows XP
    - I am not linking to a server at work. My Blackberry is set is purely a directly link from the 9700 device, to my computer, and syncs with the calendar, address book and tasks list (MS Outlook 2003 from MS Office)
    - my new 9700 - I bought it 2weeks ago. It did sync in the beginning. About three times successfully. But not now obviously.
    - on my Windows bar at the bottom of my computer screen it pops up "new hardware added" and the 9700 device is no longer described by its identity number (PIN ref?), it says "new hardware added, 'memory device'"
    - I've searched through the Blackberry help pages and so far, all I can come up with is that my computer can't seem to recognise now, for some unknown reason, that it is connected to my 9700. Blackberry help suggested I go to the "pairing" pages of the Help guide, but I thought "pairing" was only a subject that involves Bluetooth activities. Not a USB cable connection.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hey Graeme0309,
    If you disconnect the BlackBerry from your computer and open Desktop Manager, are you able to open Synchronize?
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using?

  • Error Syncing Contacts - 8330 and Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager

    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2, Blackberry 8330 version 4.5.0.127, and Blackberry Desktop Manager version 1.0.2 (build 8)
    I get an error message when trying to sync my contacts to Entourage.  Also, unlike calendar and task option windows, I do not get any selection options.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Desktop Manager won't work with Bold 9900 no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall!

    This really is a shambles and Blackberry are no help!! Can you guys help!! My blackberry won't SYNC with my computer! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, it isn't ideal at all!
    Any tips, I connect device and for hours it comes up on device manager, 'Connecting' nothing changes!
    Anyone provide any tips on how I can get this to work.
    I have been downloading device manager 7.0 but it doesnt work and Blackberry arent interested in helping!

    OH! So this isn't really a sync problem, but a connectivity problem between the BB and the Desktop Software (lack of sync is a cascaded symptom, but connectivity is the root issue)...much different! In which case, here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.

  • Desktop Manager won't sync Outlook

    Just got a new Bold and now Desktop manager won't configiure to sync with Outlook.  It gives me a "Not able to connect to internet" error.  Removing firewalls and Norton didn't help.
      Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hi MarcBrittain,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    This article should provide more information on this issue. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
    There are some additional steps in it to try to diagnose the issue. If none of the steps in the article resolve the issue, you may want to try disabling your startup items in the System Configuration Utility and rebooting before trying again.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 Manager won't read Blackberry Torch

    I've been having trouble with my Blackberry Torch as my computer will not recognize it in Blackberry Desktop Software. It's actually very wierd because I will plug my phone in to a USB port and the port will charge the phone, but nothing else happens. The reason why this is weird because I've had it work for a long time and then one day, it just didn't work any more. I've done every type of trouble-shooting listed in the Help menu including rebooting the computer/phone, replacing the cable, re-downloading the software, etc etc. I've also been able to connect the phone using Bluetooth, but unfortunately I was limited with what I could do with that connection (ie. I couldn't tranfer any music/media).
    So yeah if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is something you should first perhaps try, before those tricks. The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    4) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Now you are ready to try the tricks, but since this thread is so ancient, I'll re-post my current list of things to try...
    Here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

  • IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

    I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

    What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
    Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
    Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

  • Re-formatted hard drive, now I-Pod won't sync with new itunes

    So, I transferred all my music via a flash drive and then reinstalled them into i-tunes (per the directions on i-tunes) once we re-formatted our computer. All the songs show up in tunes, except now when I buy music, it won't sync with my i-pod. It's an ancient i-pod (click wheel) but other than that it works fine. Any help?

    Hello darkerstill,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you re-authorized your computer? To do this, head to the Store drop down menu and choose "Authorize Computer." Then enter in your account credentials to authorize the account.
    If you have already done that, have you restored the iPod via iTunes yet? If you haven't, you will not allowed to sync new music until you have done so because your iPod is still associating itself with your old library that was wiped out.
    Here are instructions on how to restore your iPod if need be.

    Have installed desktop manager 5.0.1, and trying to sync with Notes 8 calender. When reading the calender, desktop manager always crashes with the following error:

    ModVer: 7.1.1.129     Offset: 001a32ed
    Have looked through forum and not seen a fix that seems obvious to fix this. Any help would be greatful!
    thanks.
    ***** seems I had a corrupted old calendar entry - after archiving all old entries, the sync now works *******

    Connected to the USB, can you do a Restore > Advanced and select the critical databases?
    Are you connected to the PC via USB to a rear PC USB port--not a USB hub, or front monitor port?

  • Disassocia​te 8310 from previous Desktop Manager/Re​director sync with Laptop that I no longer have.

    I recently sync'ed BB 8310 with BB Desktop Manager and Redirector on a computer that I no longer have. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the RIM 'server' emails that I would receive daily (approx. 20-40 emails per day)...
    Is there a way to disassociate my BB from this previous synch? Please Help... I am so tired of grabbing my phone to see another RIM system message Argh!
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

      On your device, go to: Options > Advanced > Service Book, and delete all service books for [Desktop]
    Hopefully that will stop them, since you don't have access to the old PC any longer.

  • Curve 8330 not being recognized by the Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager . . .

    I just downloaded the Mac version of BDM.  It's a long time coming, but I'm glad that it works.  I have a Pearl that was easily recognized by the software and easily synced with all my data.  However, I also have a Curve 8330 that will not sync.  In fact, when plugged into the USB port, the BDM doesn't even see that the 8330 is plugged in, it still sits there asking, "To beging, connect your device to your Mac using the supplied USB cable."
    Any suggestions on what to do?
    Thanks.
    UPJ

    I would suggest, first off, rebooting the Curve.
    With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

    I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
    My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
    Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
    BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
    So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
    My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

    Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully.  You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.
