Metro PCS 8530 No Longer Connects to Blackberry Servers

I have the Q10 which I love. Wife has a 8530 which she loves. She basically just wants voice, BBM, and email. It works great for her.
Her 8530 went wacked the other day. Phone turned on and worked fine except it would connect to nothing. We got Metro PCS foriegn support which was just wonderful (not). So mechanically the phone seemed to function fine but she couldn't make a call, get or send texts, etc.
Metro PCS says phones need to be reset sometimes (whatever). So they got "their end" working again. She can now call, do text messenging (not BBM), and get internet (not with the BB browser though).
Everything works for the most part but she no longer gets BBM or email through Blackberry.
Metro PCS says those are Blackberry issues and gave us a BB number to call. We haven't tried that yet.
The signal seems ok with all caps 1XEV. Also she CAN get email through BB and BBM when on WiFi.
For the most part I have a feeling Metro PCS is messed up. But I don't know enough about phones to back it up with Metro PCS. I also know with the TMobile merger they are phasing out CDMA phones but they are suppose to still work here in the metro Detroit area.
So anyone been through this? Any advice on how to proceed? She's planning on getting a new phone, but she doesn't really want one. She likes hers. If we can avoid that it would be great. Wouldn't mind ditching Metro PCS though. I still have my old 8530 from MetroPCS before I jumped to Sprint. I wonder if that might be useful to compare settings? I don't think she will pay the money for a BB this time either, she'll probably go as cheap as possible Anyway Halp! Thanks!

Is there another Blackberry forum?

Mac's and PCs can no longer connect after 10.4.10 Upgrade SMB Crash - Help

This is my second post on this topic. I have read other similar threads, but none of the advice I have tried has worked so far. We have 4 PCs and 5 Macs at home that were networking nicely until we upgraded the G5 10.4.10. The G5 can browse and connect to any machine on the network. However, no other machine can connect to a shared folder on the G5.
I installed a clean 10.4.10 on a second hard drive and it works fine. So that eliminates hardware and infrastructure. I really did not want to have to reinstall everything from scratch.
I performed an Archive and Install and that did not work.
1) On my G5 I turn on Personal or Windows File Sharing
2) From another computer PC or Mac I attempt to connect to the shared files
3) The connection is made most of the time and I can see the folders. However within a few minutes or the second time I attempt to browse the folders, I get an error.
4) When I return to the G5, the Service is unchecked
The console log is reporting...

Can no longer connect to email servers

Ok, I'm hoping some Mac gurus here can help me out. I've got a primarily Windows-based network here using MS ISA server as a firewall/proxy. Our prepress guys are on various flavors of G4/G5, Panther and Tiger.
On Monday, July 5 they suddenly stopped being able to connect to POP/SMTP servers. I have tried different servers, different mail clients, resetting network connections, giving them different static ips, etc.
I haven't made any changes to the network or the Macs... I wasn't even here on Monday:) Anyway I know there are a lot of variables but I'm just grasping at straws now. The mail server is fine, the account settings work fine from any other system. I can't even establish a telnet to the mail server from the Macs. Internet and network access is fine, however.
Thanks,
-sean

Thanks for the replies guys. That is indeed an interesting diagnosis tool but seems to confirm that traffic is actually being passed over 110/25.
colin - I thought about the cable, but can do email from the a pc connected to the same switch... should probably look a little closer anyway.
These guys do have their settings at full duplex but no other combo including 100/half-duplex or automatic seems to clear things up. I will look at this more when I am back in the morning though.
Thanks again,

Cannot connect to network servers after recent security update on OSX 10.5.8

I can no longer connect to others servers/PC's on the network at my brothers office. I had no problem the last time I was in there. The only thing that has changed is that I did the latest security upadate from Apple.
There should be no reason why I no longer access files from other devices on the network, that I previoulsy been able to access with no problems.
*** is going here APPLE?

This not being an iTunes issue, I'd suggest you post in the Mac OS X 10.5 Networking forum. If anyone knows a fix, you'll probably find it there.
Good luck.

Cannot recieve text messages from Metro PCS Blackberry! can anyone help me!

i just got my iphone 3GS today. I can recieve text messages from other att customers and t-mobile customers. My sister is with Metro PCS. She has a blackberry. i cannot recieve test messages from her! Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont know what OS the phone is. Its a 16GB 3GS phone.

She gets all of my text messages. She was at home last night when she was trying to reply. Her phone is telling her that the text are being sent to me. But im not getting them.

HT4061 I have an iPhone 3G , it is not connected to any Company, but before was in AT&T.- and i want to connect it with Metro PCS, I follow all instruction for unblocked but the IMEI doesn't appear on the Screen phone.- In the card the number is 15 digit

I have a iPhone 3G,.- I has been a gift from my son who bought another model more sofisticated.
I wish to unlock it and pass from AT&T to metro PCS because I use so much my phone for business issue and it is more economic for me use Metro. ok
I paid around $ 20.00 for unlocked and the company requested a number that must to appear when I dial *#06#.- I did it but nothing wrong.- The Company told me "remove the card in the top" but the number has more than 15 digits : (20 digits) so, I got the first 15, but the company said those are not right.-
In a conversation with them, they recommended to go to the Apple page in the web, and I have been travelling and I found to be member of this group, because I think, after that, i can help others too,
i am electrical Engineer since 1974 and recently finished an Associated in electronic.- I am 63 years old and love to work in Industrial System in Power, Control and Electronic.- Although I have my own business, i want to work for a company because I love the industry, and , in order to get the money from customers, is each day harder, so, I prefer to work in the Industry System and do my own projects in my extra time since I never ever think in retairement because my work is a pleasure.

ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

Can no longer connect to encripted wireless.

Hello,
I am running a wired and WPA TKIP Encripted wireless network through a WRT350N and Netopia DSL modem. I have a Western Digital Mybook Premium 500GB hard drive connected for storage.
The system had included 2 XP Home PCs one using a Linksys WMP54GS Wireless PCI adapter and the other using a Netgear “G” USB adapter configured through Windows since the Netgear software would only do WEP. There are also 2 laptops one being an older model with the Linksys “G” PCMCIA and a newer Core2Duo using Intel Proset.
February I built a New PC which I connected via CAT5 which required moving the WRT350N, modem and 500GB MyBook into the computer room. In this room we also have our Dual mode 2.4 Ghz Linksys CIT300 Skype phone and our 2.4Ghz main phone. The new PC also has a Logitech G7 mouse using 2.4Ghz wireless. Everything ran smoothly for just over a month.
Around the same time as the start of the network connection Issues I swapped the Motherboard in the New PC with an SLI version and set the machine back up still using CAT5 and no wireless.
I cannot say for certain that we didn’t have any issues before the time of the swap but it did become very noticeable around the same time and I just want to cover all the bases.
What happened is the wireless PCs slowed down a bit and then the Netgear connected PC started to have disconnect issues that were very noticeable since it was the machine that pulls our e-mail. We then noticed the Linksys G Desktop having connection speed issues and then finally all the wireless machines will no longer connect via encrypted wireless at all. If I reset the Router they connect without a problem. I can change the SSID and turn off the SSID Broadcast without a problem but the moment I turn on WPA Personal, TKIP, and set a password they all lose connection and will refuse to connect. I have sat down at each machine and deleted the wireless profiles and set them up with all the same SSID, Security, and keys but they will not connect.
I even ran Net Stumbler on my Laptop to look for other wireless networks but only find one on Channel 11. Mine shows up too but at Channel 1 using the 40Mhz channel. Network mode is set to Mixed, Radio band is auto, Wide Channel is auto, Standard channel is also Auto.
Is there anything else I may be missing? I have reset the router many times and have tried restoring from saved configurations but nothing works at all. The only thing that works now is the wired connection. L
I sure hope Linksys reads these forums because they sure do not read their tech support e-mails!
I look forward to any help.
Thanks,
Martin

First of all, re-download and re-install the latest firmware for your router. After installing the latest firmware, make sure you reset the router to factory defaults, then set up the router from scratch.
Next, make sure you have a unique SSID (don't use "linksys" ), and turn on SSID broadcast. Turning on SSID broadcast makes it easier for your computers to find and stay connected to your router. I used to recommend that SSID broadcast be turned off for security reasons, but this is no longer required because new "cracking" techniques have made this old trick useless.
As a test, turn off all your 2.4 GHz devices and unplug them from the wall. This would include your phones, wireless mouse, and any Bluetooth, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards, etc. Also, turn off any 5+ GHz phones, as some of these also use the 2.4 GHz band. See if this makes a difference.
Since your Netgear "would only do WEP", I don't understand how you ever got it to work before with WPA encryption. Please explain. Are you saying that the Windows software was doing the WPA for you?
Update you computers with the latest drivers for your wireless adapters.
As infinityx mentioned, update Windows XP to at least SP2.
It sounds like you may have the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card. If so, this card is known to have connection problems. The problems with this card worsened with a recent Windows update, but were fixed with the latest driver. Go to the Intel web site and download and install the latest drivers.
Also, you can try another channel on your router. Since you have a neighbor on 11, try any channel 1 thru 6. (Always try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors.).

HT204266 I am trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. I have OS 10.5.1 and it says I need OS 10.6. Is that a free update or do I have to purchase a new OS? I just want to load music on to the playbook.

Trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. It says I need OS6. Is that a free update or do I have to buy a whole new operating system? Just want to download some music to the playbook. Also, is it possible to use a iTunes card directly to the playbook and bypass the Mac? Thanks for any info you can provide.

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Blackberry 9900 will not connect with Blackberry Desktop (v 6 or v7). I am running Windows 7.

I am running Windows 7, and have a Blackberry Bold 9900. This has some music on but most importantly my work diary and contacts which I synchronise through Desktop. I also use it as an external modem and tether my PC through it if I’m somewhere with no wireless.
Yesterday, I did these things during the afternoon:
·         Connected a Bluetooth device to my PC (headphones)
·         Needed to load a series of drivers for Windows for this to work
·         Upgraded from Blackberry Desktop 6 to 7 (following prompt when connected)
·         Set up a Bluetooth connection between my Blackberry and PC.
The next time I connected:
·         On The Blackberry smartphone I got the normal Blackberry is plugged in message, with normal options (USB Drive / Sync Media / Charge Only), and software opened as usual
·         But I was prompted to Connect Your Blackberry Device (with link to troubleshoot connection). Clicking this, I was taken to a page which suggested I check the cable etc. (which I did, all OK) and “...turn off synchronization applications or antivirus applications temporarily”. I disabled Avast, which made no difference, and I don’t know what a “synchronization application” is
·         Other aspects of the connection are working (i.e. I can still download photographs from the Blackberry, and still see it as the ‘F:’ drive)
I therefore conclude that:
·         Cable / physical connection is good (also tried a different cable - no change)
·         Something I had changed had corrupted things, so:
·         Uninstalled Blackberry Desktop v7 and replaced with the version I had been using successfully until yesterday (v6)
·         Removed the Bluetooth connection to my Blackberry.
Made no difference, so checked Blackberry help forums, which confused me more. One thing which I did discover, was that in Device Manager, although Blackberry is visible attached to PC (and says it is working correctly), it DOES NOT appear in the list of Network Adapters (I don’t know if it did before, but one answer in the tech forum suggested this is significant – though not sure why or what to do about it)
Any help would be very welcome – been at this for ten hours now and making no progress!
Many thanks
Clive

This worked for me after several hours on the phone with Blackberry Support. I hope it works for you too:
Finally got it working again! Re-downloaded the desktop software (but when you start it up, make sure to uncheck the automatic update option). While that was downloading, I was instructed to go to microsoft.com and search for and download .NET Framework 3.5. Once you click to download that, there will be an offer to download 2 other items. One of which will be Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (Web Installer). Click to download that too. Once they are finished downloading, run both files. .Net Framework 4 Client Profile will take longer and will ask you if you want to repair or remove. Choose repair. The repair took several minutes, but once it was done, I clicked "Finish", opened the BB Desktop Software, UNCHECKED THE AUTO UPDATE OPTION, and plugged in my phone. Once windows finished installing the drivers, Low and behold! The Desktop software recognized that the phone was connected! I hope this helps you resolve your issue as well. When it again offered me an update I clicked to update later (meaning never!). Best of luck to you.

Phone will no longer connect to home wifi.

My phone just sits there loading on the the Belkin router option that is my home wifi. I've tried resetting my phone and syncing to itunes and nothing seems to work. I've also tried forgetting the network, then reentering the wifi code; this also doesn't work. I have a limited data plan so I need this wifi to keep from going over that 2 GB limit as the overdraft fees will wreck me.

Please help me connect to wifi!
I forget which Orange UK plan I'm on, but it works fine so
Does you plan include Data?
Which carrier's SIm were you using before? Have they turned off your service yet?
Have Orange enabled your BIS (data plan needed)
If you do not have a data plan, why not? (not meant to offend - but need to know to assist)

Devices no longer connect to my Hub

We've had our hub for about three years now and have a lot of devices connected to it; an iPhone 5, a iPhone 4, two iPods, a BlackBerry, a Windows phone, a Laptop, a Tablet, a Playstation 3 all through Wireless and a LG Smart TV, BT Vision Box and a Seagate Hard Drive through Ethernet cables. Everything normally works fine.
Last week following an electrical storm several devices could no longer connect to the Hub - the iPhone 5, the Tablet and one of the iPods.
The Laptop is fine and works all over the house as it always does, however, if I use the shortcut on the desktop on the Laptop to get to the Seagate hard drive - I get the message that windows can no longer find it.
My iPhone 5 cannot connect to the Hub - it can see it - but cannot connect to it. I have to drop it a connect to my own Hub through BT Fon and then it works fine!
I've asked my iPhone and the other devices which can no longer connect to the Hub to forget the hub and to get them to search for it again. They can all see it, but can't connect - not getting as far as asking for the wireless key.
I've powered off the Hub and left it for a couple of minutes. I've tried re-setting it and I've been into the Hub Manager to see if it looks like any changes have been made to it. Nothing seems to work.
I haven't changed the channel on the Hub as it doesn't appear to be a signal strength issue (the iPhone 5 shows the Hub on maximum strength everywhere in the house).
Can anyone help please????

Hi Guys,
I've done a factory reset on the huband it doesn't seemed to have changed anything. My iPhone 5 still can't connect to it, I can't use the shortcut for the Seagate drive and the Hub no longer apppears as part of our home network when I look it up on my PC.
Below is a screen shot of the Hub Manager. Matt-PC is my laptop which is connected to the Hub via Wi-Fi. There are currently three Ethernet Cables plugged into the back of the Hub - the Seagate Drive, the TV and a BT Vision box.
Any other ideas?

I can no longer connect to my pc home sharing

I have been using my itunes on my HTPC as my media server for my atv2 for months without issue, but after a power outage i can no longer connect to my HTPC. It shows up under "computers" but it will not connect. I didn't change any firewall settings or anything, so there is no reason that I can think of for it to just stop working out of the blue.
I have tried logging out of home sharing and logging back in.
I have tried resetting everything (routers, computers, apple tv, etc)
I have tried the ATVs wired and wireless
I have de-authorized and re-authorized my computer, but I still have the same problem.
I have 2 ATV2s and I have the same issue with both.
I have a new macbook pro and the home sharing works on it. I can use airplay from my ipad, MBP, and the HTPC, but just can't use home sharing.
I have tried everything that I can think of. if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks

@puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

8530 doesn't connect to MacBook Pro

When I connect my BB8530 to my MacBook, Blackberry desktop manager doesn't see it. It seems to be the same whether connecting via bluetooth or by USB Cable. Any suggestions? I've tried a hard reboot

sbradt,
I wish I could help you. I don't own a Mac, but you might want to check out Boot camp or Parallels as a workaround (vitualization). If you want to get your phone upgraded to the latest you can upgrade it over the air (BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.508). It does take about an 40 minutes or more. Verizon or RIM has an update. I've had it for 2 days and things seem better. Battery life does appear to do better when doing lots of things. Browser is faster. Keep us posted about your fix. I'm sure others have a 8530 and a Mac.
