Op sys., desktop software, ringe

I'm not sure if this is where I should post this. I got my BB used and did not get the cd's for the desktop software, etc. BB says:
V4.2.2.176 (Platform 3.0.0.79)
I'd like to download the appropriate desktop software but there are so many options on Verizon's site. I run Vista on my laptop. Can someone direct me to which software to download?
Is my BB software up to date? I read a forum about being able to fix the ringer so it is louder but you have to use 4.5 software only. I really need a to have a loud ringer as I have hearing issues and cannot hear the classic ring unless it is right in front of me.
This forum rocks.

Bluetooth Headset will not work following upgrade of PC desktop software

Recently I updated my laptop with the latest desktop software in order to allow synchronization between Microsoft Office 2010 and my blackberry tour.
The sync works!
But now that I have upgraded, I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset.
After syncing my phone to my PC over bluetooth, my bluetooth headset connects to the phone ok but when you try to use it no sound comes through either the headset ear piece or the phone.
So if you try and dial a number, the phone rings where you are calling but you cannot hear the ringing or the person on the other end once they have answered it.
To correct the problem you have to remove the battery from the phone. Then once you replace the battery and wait 5 - 7 minutes for the phone to re-initialize the headset works just fine. Until the next time you sync the phone with the laptop of course. Then the headset stops working again.
I have tried deleting all the bluetooth devices from the phone and re-connecting them. Does not help.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
This is my 2nd blackberry. My 1st was a Perl on T-Mobile. Never had a problem. But this tour from verizon has be a problem from the start. Think my next phone is likely to be anything but blackberry!

Hello ralpha,
I would suggest you back up your BlackBerry data and clear the Bluetooth Options database. Re-Pair your headset and try making calls again.
KB10167 will show you how to clear individual databases.
Let me know how you make out.

Cannot Download Desktop Software for PC - 404 Error!

Hi All - I have tried to use the Feedback option for the Web Admin but my emails keep bouncing because the RIM system seems to think my feedback does not fit via email. So, here is the message I was trying to send in to RIM to help get to the bottom of this. Anyone feel free to pipe up and let me know what is going on or offer some suggestions... I'm totally open to anyone's help at this point. Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Interesting...well, I am downloading it right now with no 404, which would I think rule out a problem at the RIM webisite end. So, the only thing I can think of is that there is something in your internet routing that is somehow blocking it. Maybe you should start over from this point:
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
I was also going to comment that RIM does not yet support Desktop Software 7.x, but that seems to have changed sometime today!
Good luck!

Need some Desktop Software Connection help.....PLEASE

Here's the deal. I've had my berry for a while, no problem. I used to be able to connect to my computer and use the desktop manager to swap photos, ring tones, music, etc between my comp and berry. I had some computer issues which involved me changing the power supply and video card as well as adding some ram.
Everything works fine, printer, mp3 player etc.
When I plug in my berry it doesn't do anything. It recognizes the memory card I have. But when I open up the media manager, it tells me there is no device installed, and all it sees is my media card.
Now everything works perfect on my wife's laptop (she has a berry too), but it doesn't work on mine. We both run old school 4.2 desktop software as well as the new 4.7+os.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4.2 twice, and it doesn't recognize my phone. I even go to connection settings and all it shows is COM ports. I found a USB option, but then it searches for the device and finds nothing.
So I decided to upgrade to desktop software 4.7. Downloaded it, installed it, and the same **bleep** thing happens. Doesn't recognize anything. Says I'm not connected. I'm starting to get really pissed off at this crap. I've never had any trouble before. I put 30 songs on here, and tons of pictures on my memory card...not a skipped beat ever.
I can easily go to my wife's laptop, plug in, and install/delete what I need and I'm done. The problem is none of my music/pics are on her laptop. SO I 'm having to bring them via Flash Drive to her laptop, and then install the items..but no luck on my comp.
I went to the control panel and did "add hardware" it showed a blackberry device was connected but it gave me the following error (using both versions of the desktop software)
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
Please help before I get really frustrated and toss my berry.

Changing Profiles with Desktop Software

Add this to the wish list of features for the Desktop Software package. I would like to be able to create and edit ring profiles on the desktop. Such a feature would be much easier than doing it on the phone.
Thank you.

Turns out to be my WiFi. I don't know why, but I have to turn off WiFi on both of the tablets to be able to have it linked with my PC.
OK, I can live with that.
Thanks guys for your replies.

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.
Zubin...

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/system_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:

Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I try to open Blackberry Desktop the message I get is that Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and as a result I cannot sync. Does this mean I need to uninstall and reinstall? If I reinstall will I lose the update that I have on my phone that has changed the interface? Will I have to reinstall that as well?
Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.

I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
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.
Also, for XP users, please be sure you are on SP3...that is the current minimum level required with the latest Desktop Software.
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.

How to take Contacts back-up - Blackberry is not recognised by BB Desktop Software

Hello,
My phone is Blackberry Javeline 8900. The desktop manager does not recognise my phone. Everything else is fine. It gets charged properly through USB. I connected other BB phone, the same software recognises it.
So do not know what to do. The issue is I need to back-up my contacts and which I am unable to do. Also, I need to transfer those contacts to my another android device (I have 2 phones). Please help.
Thanks.

BB Desktop Software will not launch

PC, running Windows XP - Upgraded to new BB Desktop Software. Was working for about a month. Now, Will NOT launch - getting Windows Error

I re-connected to BB and loaded the "fix" versus the fuill version and still cannot load.
From the Windows Control Panel - Removed the BB Desktop Software and re-booted the PC. Re-Loaded the full Desktop Software from the BB website. Still NOTHING - except for the Windows errror.
Dead in the water. Cannot launch the BB Software to connect and synch BB Storm! iPhone on Verizon is looking better and better. Mid-February is NOT coming soon enough.
Help!

OK Instead of dueling each other, the issue is my Problem. If you want to 'duel', please take it off-line.
No one is "dueling" , we are tying to fix your problem.
Re-stating my Problem:
1. I had loaded BB DM6 on a Windows XP PC about 3 months ago with no problems. In fact, it linked with all aspects of Outlook that I needed (Calendar, Task and Contacts). Yeah!! This did not happen with the 'original' BB DM that I loaded January 2009 when I bought the BB Storm from Verizon, but I lived with this short coming of BB. Built my calendar and contacts directly into the BB Storm.
So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.
2. OK. So something happened last week and the BB DM6 will not launch without getting the error message that I put in my 1st Posting of this Problem.
"So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened i couldn't possibly know. The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
3. I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC. Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
4. Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program". Re-Booted the PC. Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6. Same error message and no Launch.
Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
5. I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!! I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
6. What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do? From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website? Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6. I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
In your description of the January 2009 install there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
7. In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.

Uninstall them, then install the fresh copy of the 4.7 device drivers
I have not yet did the clean uninstall (that yall suggested in that post) since last night. after i did all that last night,i installed the driver and berry would not show up on windows explorer,so then i tried to install desktop again and it left that message on my original post up top,so I restored my commuter and desktop was there again and working (I only really use app loader)    then I uninstaled it again.(not the clean way this time) and started installing and unistalling the drivers ,which lead to no prevail.            I would like to be able to use the app loader,and I would REALLY like for my phone to show up on my PC again so i can juggle my media around from SD card to device and all that stuff.
what would u suggest I do first sir?
I have desktop software cd's 4.3 and 4.6        I like the 4.3 version better one more fact (don't know if will help u) this is my second bold my first bold everything worked it showed up on windows explorer and desktop worked then it broke and I got another one and I changed nothing and this one will not show up on PC and media deal on the desktop software wont work,which I don't care bout that if it whould show up on windows explorer.
At the end of this install try connecting the Blackberry to the PC without Desktop manager running.
See if the device comes up correctly. If not run Windows update with the Blackberry plugged in. The
device should be recognized and the device drivers added.
Let us know how it goes!

Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop...

I have a Tour 9630 and just installed v6.0 and receiving an error window "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem as caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I have not received any message from Windows after 2 days. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, I would appreciate any guidance. I have Windows 7, if that matters. Thank you. in advance.

Hi somewhatstock
How far did you get with them? Did they have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Trying to work on it myself, so trying to eliminate what others might have tried. Curious why it works on my Desktop however. Losing tethering really causes problems as I rely on tethering with my laptop quite a lot.
Any information most welcome,

Palm Desktop Software crashes immediately upon opening

Hi All,
My Palm Desktop software won't open. When I try to open it (either w/ the icon or the start menu), I see the Palm Desktop logo, then the program seems to open but all I see is a whitescreen, and an almost immediately error message from windows that reads "Microsoft OS Desktop Application has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Then the only option I have is to click "close," and the program closes out. So its impossible to open the softare.
Interestingly, the hotsync operation still works. The desktop application just won't open.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still the problem persists. I have read a few places to remove the US Robotic registry keys, but after looking them up using REGEDIT off the Run menu, I can't find them....maybe I am not doing a complete uninstall, and am not completely removing these keys? Does anyone have a comprehensive list of registry key locations? Or maybe its a problem with windows? I am using Vista. I tried a system restore back to a point in time when the Palm Desktop was working, but even after that I had no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what I should do?
Thank you!
Post relates to: Palm Z22

If this is your first Palm device, you will not see registry keys for either USRobotics or PalmOne. These entries are relevant to users who have upgraded devices and installed newer versions of Palm Desktop over older installs for the old devices.
There are a number of threads posting complete uninstallation directions; use the search function (up top when you exit this thread) on Registry and you should be able to find one or more of them.

Palm Desktop Software Data Transfer

I have an iMac OS which is 5 years old. This year I'm going to be buying the most recent iMac Desktop.
The only Palm software I make use of is my "desktop software" which I use as an all around replacement for the old day runners. For instance, I use it's menu to put all my names & addresses in, keep a list of things to do there, under "memos" I have made categories in chronological order such as "computer stuff"; "legal", "medical" and there are about 25 categories there under which I write down important information that I refer to if I must. And, of course I use it as a calendar such that when I make an appointment, it all goes on my current desktop software which I believe is 4.0.
When I asked the Apple salesperson if I could transfer all the data I had from this computer to my new computer, he was not sure that would work as it may not even be compatible anymore with the newer computers. I rely on this information so much that I would not want to lose it. IF there is no way to transfer all the info I have in my Palm Desktop ... the only thing I thought I could do is write the info down, and re-enter it into some new application that is compatible. Is there any application that I could use instead of Palm if I can't. I'd rather just transfer what I have, and I don't want to lose the data when transferred. I hope this makes sense.
I would want to transfer everything that I had on this computer to the new one if possible. Please advise. How do I keep my data intact?
Thanks
Trudijane

Also do note that the 700w runs windows mobile and will not utilize any of the Palm software (e.g. palm desktop, hotsync). You will need to download a program from Microsoft being ActiveSync or Windows Mobile device center if you have vista.
ActiveSync 4.5 - Use if you have Windows XP

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?

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.
