New desktop software synching problem

Just tried to synch my Blackberry to my Outlook.  Got a message that Intellisynch was no lionger being used, there was a new program and I had to reconfigure the settings. After doing that the program went through the preliminary steps and has now been "Preparing synch review" for 39 minutes - but I'm not supposed to disconnect my phone...

Hello,
From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • New Desktop software synching with my iTunes

  • New Desktop software problems

    Hi, just (regrettably) downloaded the new desktop software v 6.something. I use a 9700 with v 5.something software.
    I've been syncing (successfully) my outlook calendar with my phone. I've also created another calendar and sync my wife's diary separately (by changing the default calendar on my phone and changing the mapped folder on the desktop software. I do two separate downloads which don't interfere with each other and therefore have two diaries shown on my calendar on the phone, in two colours so I know which is mine and which is my wife's)
    Since the new desktop software has downloaded, I can download my wife's diary as a separate diary, but when I download mine, it also tries to include hers. I've tried pretty much everything, rebooting, reloading software, ensuring the settings are correct etc. but no luck. The only thing I can think of is that although the "include subfolders" box is unticked, it is downloading subfolders too and therefore my wife's diary is being included. It's driving me mad as it worked before and now doesn't. I've tried also to restore the software point to a previous but that doesn't work either....aaaaaargh!!

    you need to completely uninstall the 6.2 version of your palm desktop then reinstall the 4.2 version http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk42v.html
    the 6.2 version doesnt have color coding feature...

  • New Desktop Software is asking for password - which I don't think I ever had now can't use phone either

         After downloading the new Desktop Software, it won't allow my BB Curve 8520 to connect w/o a password -  I do not believe I ever had a password on my desktop software and it is threatening to delete my data if I don't enter correct password ;;; 
         also now I can't use my phone because the same message is coming up on my phone asking for a password - I did have a password on my phone but that password is not working for the desktop software and now I can't use the phone password on the phone - it is asking for some other password which I don't have -
         is there some way to have the password sent to me - I don't want to loose the contacts and other data on my phone and the Desktop

    Hi,
    Just make sure you are typing the right password when DM ask you for it. What I mean is that if your password include numbers you must type in the corresponding letter on your computer keybord...
    It's is a common mistake...
    Now, is your phone asking you for your password or for a SIM card PIN? If you entered your password too many times as the phone was asking for a SIM card PIN it is probably asking for a PUK (sometime called a personal unlock key). Call your service provider tech support, they are the only one that would have your SIM card PUK to help you...
    Until you reach them you can always remove your SIM card (assuming that's your problem...) to be able to use the phone (assuming you're in North America on a CDMA network...).
    Hope this helped, have a good one!

  • New release desktop software sync problem

    Having downloaded the new deskup software, and made sure that it notifies me of any conflcts in sync-ing the blackberry and Outlook 2003, it now tries to delete anything new added to Outlook that it is not yet on the blackberry. It notifies me of all the conflicts but doesn't give me an option to stop it deleting all the new additions individually. So  I can sync but only if I allow it to delete all new Outlook appointments.
    Any ideas?

    If Outlook has the appointments as you want them, I think a one-way sync from Outlook to the BB should (with the right options selected) remove all the BB appointments, and then put the Outlook appointments there.
    Alternatively, you could use the advanced backup/restore (I can't remember if the new version still has that or not - the machine I'm on still has DTM 5.0 on it) to wipe the BB calendar data, then do your sync.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software Installation Problem

    I had a problem with Roxio Media Manager continuously wanting to reinstall.  So I fixed that problem and and uninstalled the Blackberry software. I then tried to re-install the Blackberry Desktop software so I can syncronize my contacts on my home computer.  I have tried this from a downloaded version 4.6 and with the version on my Blackberry CD.  Same problem with both.
    The install starts and asks for language, then the install starts for a couple of seconds.  Then I get this message:
    Error opening installation log file.  Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.
    I can't get past this message.  It does not say where the log file location is.  Other software installs, it is only Blackberry software that will not install.  I tried renaming CProgram Files\Common files\Installshield and making it read/write, but this install still fails with the same message.
    Any ideas to try?  Anywhere else that I can go for help?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks, that worked.
    I unzipped the file, then I opened a cmd window and manually ran msiexec with your Blackberry msi file.  I added a /L flag to put the logfile into a local logfile.txt file and everything went fine.
    Perhaps you are specifying a problematic log file name, at least for my computer?
    Anyway, this new version of Blackberry software works fine for keeping my home contacts up-to-date with my work contacts.  I'm glad I was able to install it without the Roxio media manager.  That program was driving me crazy.

  • Desktop Software SYnch Issue with Alarm Flags

    Hello.  I recently upgraded my PC to Windows v.7.  As a result, I had to re-install my BB Desktop software.  The installation went fine, but the first time I tried to synch I had a problem with a conflict.  Apparently all of my appointments on my BB, alarm the flag is set to "true", while my MS Outlook is reading "false"  The BB resolution is defaulting to update both fields to the Outlook setting which is "false". 
    Does anyone know what this is caused by?  How to correct it?  or what the correct response should be in the conflict resolution?
    Thanks

  • Palm desktop software calendar problem

    I am having a problem with the desktop software (6.2 version).  When viewing the calendar in the "month" view, as I move forward to the months of November, December and January the program locks up and shuts down.  If I move into those months in the weekly view it works fine.  Any suggestions?
    Post relates to: Tungsten T

    Thanks for the speedy response.  However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me.  All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function.  Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
    I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database.  Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?  
    So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop.  I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop.  However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
    I have some questions now:
    (1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)?  If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
    (2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database?  Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I downloaded new desktop software and try to sync with 8530 but wont sync to outlook contacts and calander

    i had blackberry desktop manager on my work computer and use to sync with outlook perfectly. 2 weeks ago i did a backup then sync as normal. i lost over half of my 600+ contacts and alot of calander listings on my phone. tried to sync again from computer to phone and lost more contacts and calander listings. so i tried to restore from the backup and lost more data. i reinstalled software from the cd i recieved last year when i purchased the 8530. the desktop software would not find outlook and would not sync. i deleted softwaqre and just downloaded new blackberry desktop software. it still will not find outlook on my computer and will not sync.
    any suggestions what i may be doing wrong on getting software to find and sync with outlook?

    Hey Bryanw,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
    If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this article http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown here http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
    Thank you.

  • Desktop software and problem with password

    Hi
    My apologizes for my english but it is not my language.
    I have a blackberry curve 9300 since 2 years.
    I used to work with the blackberry software for mac.
    Since some weeks, I have trouble with this program.
    The program invite me to enter my password. Normally, I write my password and it works. But, now, I have a second window which ask me a password too. But my password does not work. This window appear constantly and I can not work on my others programs. To use other program I have to disconnect my device and to force out the second program.
    In attachment, you will see the window. (I can not insert an image)
    How can I stop this program?
    I already uninstalled the software but the problem remain.
    Can you help me?????

    Hi morbiteus,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    So that I can assist you better, can you please provide the name of the second program you are referring to? Does it open each time you open the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    I look forward to your response.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software a Problem

    I am pissed off trying to install Blackberry desktop Software on My PC. The CD that comes along with the Handset is a **bleep**, it doesnt work and my PC gets hang when i use it, although i tried to download Desktop software from Internet but then so the same is not getting installed. I am using Microsoft XP SP2 OS , But once the files are unzipped , it initiates windows installer and when we choose a language it closes down and dissapears.
    I think Blackberry loses ground in terms of Softwares when it comared to close Rival Nokia, excellent supprot for software , where as i am fed up with Blackberry software support.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    A little research and details might help your situation...for instance, see here:
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/sys​tem_requirements.jsp
    If the version that came on that CD is 6.0.2 or later, then your system already does not meet the minimum requirements (XP SP3 is required). You'd need to use an older version unless you install SP3. Fortunately, RIM makes many different versions available for folks in exactly your circumstance:

  • Calendar wont sync with new Desktop Software

    I recently got the latest Desktop Software. For some reason my Outlook calendar no longer syncs with my Blackberry. When I go under Organizer in the Desktop Software, MemoPad Address Book & Tasks are all checked off and working, however, Calendar isnt checked and in brackets beside it says Not Installed. No idea why this is or how I install it to make it work again.
    Any help very much appreciated!

  • New Desktop software is a disaster

    Wanted to do  a sync. Saw that new software was available, so downloaded Desktop 7.
    It hung  five times and had to be restarted each time before I got the program to start syncing. Four of the hangs happened when I tired to do advanced configuration. The last hang was when I tired to start to sync. In that case no progress was reported  on the green progress bar (green motion never started).
    On the next try the sync started, and it took nearly an hour to read in the Outlook and BB data. Now has been syncing for a total of two hours, and has reached "preparing Sync Preview". Since getting to this state,  PF Usage on my computer is near 100%;  CPU usage by Desktop is currently over 50%;  Windows announced it was having to increase the size of virtual memory.
    What a disaster!
    Yes I have big files, 6800 contacts and 1500 calendar entries, but BB is supposed to be an enterprise quality product. I'm wondering if I should buy an Android phone or iPhone tomorrow.

    Airplay is now on the control screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

  • New n73 software update problems

    I recently updated to the new software on my n73 via nokia (it was literally yesterday) and all seemed to be fine. now everytime i turn the phone on, it asks me for the date and time! Its either something i have done wrong, or the software, yet everything went fine when updating, except restoring my data from my memory card, which seemed to find it funny to delete all my contacts, and calender entries. I on the other hand didnt. It wouldnt bother me so much, except i am always turning my phone off and using the alarm, so if it doesnt know the time, my alarm wont go off! Nokia calls the n73 a smartphone, however everytime i use it, or read what people are posting here i start to think otherwise! surely a smartphone could at least remember the time and date!
    Another problem im having, which was before and still after updating to firmware 3.6 or whichever it is, is the adobe pdf reader doesnt work, it seems to try and open, however the screen just flashes for a second and returns to the menu. i have tried opening many different sizes of pdf, and even opening from file manager, but nothing seems to work!
    can anyone assist me? thanks
    nay (writing this from my nokia n73 web browser, something i might add it is good for )

Maybe its just something that has gone slightly wrong with the brand new firmware, as i say everything else seems to be working fine (Except the pdf reader )
    Try to choose "local time" instead of "London gmt" if you have set "auto update the time". All operators may not support "auto update the time" and in that case you have to set up the time yourself.
    If the Adobe pdf reader is still not working you can download and reinstall it from Adobe's web site (operating system Mobile, Version symbian OS, and select language...).
