Organizer software - other than Outlook?

I'd like some recommendations, please.
I got my BB Curve 8320 all set up and everything moved from my Palm Treo 680 to the BB - no problems. Then I moved Contacts from the Palm software to Outlook Express. They all showed up even though some of the fields were screwed up ... no problem, I fixed that.
But I HATE Outlook Express, don't use it for email, it has no calendar or tasks ...
Do you have any recommendations for organizer software that has contacts, calendar and tasks that will sync well with BB Desktop Manager and my device? I'm running XP on my PC.
Thanks!

Okay, I found Outlook ... it was there. So, I decided to bite the bullet and at least use it to sync with my BB. However ... BB Desktop Manager wouldn't let me finish the configuration process because I don't have Outlook set up as my default email client - it doesn't even show up on the available applications. Well, I'm NOT going to use Outlook as my email client - not now, not ever.
Is there some trick to this? I'm getting a bit frustrated.
Thanks ...

What software other than outlook can I use with iphone 5c for contacts, email and calendar?

What software will work with iPhone 5c where I can manage all contacts, emails and calendar and sync with my business desktop computer? From what I have seen from co-workers Microsoft outlook and iPhone doesn't work well together.

But the problem is, that it Did used to do this. It synced for a year and a half and now only in the past four months has it not synced...
Any thoughts?

Calendar sync with anything other than outlook?????????

"I am trying to sync my phone calendar with anything other than outlook. can anyone help???

hello,
if you look at the Desktop Software page on the blackberry.com website, there is a section called "requirements" and in that section you have a paragraph with the list of PC software against which you can do a synchronization.
apart from PC software, you can also synchronize with GMail Contacts, Google Calendar, Yahoo!Mail and probably some other like facebook contacts, facebook events.

Using other software other than i tunes?

Can i use other software other than itunes?. If so ,do i need to use the updator before connecting and synching with other software such as windows media player?.

Yes, you can. But Windows Media Player cannot be used.
Some of the programs you can use are:
(1) Winamp (with iPod plugin)
(2) Xplay
(3) Anapod
Note that these are 3rd party programs which are not supported by Apple. If you elect to use them, you will have to ask the software developers for support.
By the way, why do you want to use another software rather than iTunes?

Emailing form using something other than outlook

Is there anyway I get the form to use a different email system other than outlook when using the email button? We used to go through outlook and we could conveniently hit email and the form would attach and be ready to send. We switched email systems and now work in Zimbra. Is there an easy way to configure the email to use Zimbra instead? Thanks

The form will use the default mail client.

HT1296 What calendars sync with an iphone-other than outlook

What calendars other than outlook and apple calendar sync with Iphone computer operating system is windows vista

None, but you can sync the iPhone with CalDAV calendars over the Internet.
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
You can sync calendars with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
iCal (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac to sync calendars you must update to Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac Service Pack 1 or later.
For example, here's how you setup a Google calendar to your iPhone with CalDAV -> Sync your Apple device - Google Calendar Help

Personal Address Book in clients other than Outlook ( e.g. Thunderbird )

Does anybody know what the latest is on PAB integration in Thunderbird. This is a big turn-off for using JES. I am looking at the JCS for two reasons 1.) as an alternative to Ms proprietary lock-in and 2.) for an more open platform to integrate a some of our own software. It's quite frustrating that Sun are supporting Outlook almost exclusively. Convergence is great, but not a replacement for a thick email client. I really like Thunderbird but I can't access personal address books.
Any links for how to add a shared address book in Thunderbird? I'm sure I managed to sync at least the corporate address book when I reviewed JCS 5, but i can't remember and can't find a how to.
I have even considered writing a Thunderbird addon myself to access Address Books using ldap but it seems the PAB entries are locked by Directory Manager access and not available to the PAB user. Is there anywhere else to locate the PAB entries other than at "dn=piPStoreOwner=euan,o=potensol.com,o=PiServerDb" ?

A major limitation to any development of LDAP PAB integration is the lack of LDAP write support in Thunderbird. Any future movement will be more towards CardDAV as per:

It's quite frustrating that Sun are supporting Outlook almost exclusively.Sun is expending a large amount of resources (staff) into the Lightning project which is providing calendar functionality into Thunderbird. That is why there has been so much progress on this front over the past 12 - 18 months. Sun has also rolled Lightning out internally giving it even higher visibility.

I'm sure this group would appreciate any feedback, testing etc. that you could provide.
Convergence is great, but not a replacement for a thick email client. I really like Thunderbird but I can't access personal address books.I agree it is definitely a limitation but at this time priorities are elsewhere.
I'm sure I managed to sync at least the corporate address book when I reviewed JCS 5, but i can't remember and can't find a how to.Accessing the read-only corporate address-book should be relatively straight-forward. A quick google shows up a number of examples e.g.

Is there anywhere else to locate the PAB entries other than at "dn=piPStoreOwner=euan,o=potensol.com,o=PiServerDb" ?The other way would be to access the data using the WAPB protocol to the Convergence/UWC installation which is what Outlook Connector uses to access the address-book information. Unfortunately this protocol isn't yet publicly available. Feel free to push this with your Sun Account Manager.Regards,
Shane.Thank's Shane, your responses are always thorough and very helpful.Thanks for the link for LDAP shared address books in Thunderbird, I think that was the very article I used last time, should have bookmarked it.
I think it was harsh to say "It's quite frustrating that Sun are supporting Outlook almost exclusively.", I didn't realise they had involvement on the lightning project. Since my orignal post I have managed to install the plugin (v 0.8) and connect to my calendars. For feedback, so far it looks awesome, I was so impressed to see my tasks I added in convergence, in Thunderbird. I do recommend a 'how to' guide on Sun's website explaining exactly how to connect to it (couldn't find one myself from google). The 'how to' on mozilla's site forgets to mention that port must be specified (if it's not port 80, I use single-host deployment). Yet to try the experimental caching feature, will give feedback on that another time.
Will check out CardDAV shortly, thanks for link.
Overall, I am really happy with the JCS. If PAB and shared address book read/write/cache are implemented in Thunderbird/Evolution/Outlook then it would be the perfect comms suite. Servers seems to run really well although I have not put any real load on them yet. :-)

What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

Hello people,
Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and i might end up doing it but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?

Nothing.
There are a couple of programs that kinda work...

Install downloaded software other than on C: drive

I purchased this morning and downloaded the latest 64 bit version of Elements and Premiere to my E: drive (C: drive has Windows Ultimate 7 64 bit only).
I have six files downloaded - one Application file and 7zArchive file set each for Photoshop Elements, Premier Elements and Premiere Elements Content.
When I ran the Application file for PSE it installed OK - mostly on the E: drive where I directed the install browser - but also put a large number of files on my C: drive under a Program Data directory.
When I run the Premiere Elements Application file it will not install and produces an error message along the lines of 'insufficient space or admin rights'.
I am guessing that as there is now only 3GB free on the C: drive this is why I am getting the failed install (I have the admin rights).
So how can I install the whole - or majority of files - on the E: drive where there is 83GB free?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
That was what I feared.
Might have been helpful for Adobe to publish exactly what space - and where is required - in a pre-download checklist.
I can't think of any other software we have - other than the operating system - which HAS to be on the C: drive.

Your phone is only developer unlocked if you have paid to have it unlocked. Even when it is unlocked it can still only run apps that are designed to work on that phone and software.

SYNC CALENDAR WITH ANOTHER ONE OTHER THAN OUTLOOK

I like many others cannot sync with outlook now so are there any other ways of syncing on my laptop?

Hi milmead and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
What happens when you try to sync your calendar with your BlackBerry smartphone? What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software and Microsoft Outlook are you using?
Thanks.

Can I sync calendar with anything other than Outlook?

I have a PC running Windows XP, and Microsoft Office 2000, with no desire to upgrade since I infrequently use it. But as I understand it, iPhone does not sync with Office 2000. So I can't sync my calendar with Outlook on my computer. Is there anything else (an app?) that I can use. I have heard about Google calendar, but I understand that syncing there would erase what is currently in my iPhone calendar, which I don't want to do.
Thanks,
David

Synching BB Contacts to folder other than outlooks default "contacts" folder

Hi
I used to be able to select (within the blackberry desktop software) a folder I created within outlook called blackberry, to synchronize my 8130 to Outlook without getting a thousand contacts from my default outlook contact list mixed into my Blackberry. Since upgrading to Outlook 2007, when i attempt to change it in the synchronize settings I dont get the option to change it from the default folder. I am using the desktop version 4.3.0.15 with Outlook 2007. Anyone encountered this?

I don't know if this help but here....
FINALLY!!!! It’s not perfect but it’s easy...I use Outlook 2007 with BCM and a BB 8830. BB desktop software version 4.5.Create a folder “BCM for BlackBerry” in the contacts group. Open the windows of the business contacts. Select and slide to the new folder all your contacts. Open the “BlackBerry Desktop software”, go to the configuration of the contacts. Select Advanced, then choose “ Mapper le dossier”. In English, it should be “MAPPING the file”. Sorry, I use a French version... You will see the .PST and the .BCM file, choose the .pst file and scroll to add the “BCM for Blackberry”Done!!!!Its safe easy and it work!!!!Good luck!!!!

Can you sync to anything other than Outlook?

I just purchased an 8830 from Verizon. I formerly had a Palm, and used the Palm Desktop software. I use Thunderbird for my email, and have just installed the Lightning addon for Calendar and Tasks. My questions are-
1. Has anyone written an add-in or conduit so I could use Thunderbid/Lightning?
2. Are there any other PIM apps for my PC that the Blackberry WILL sync to for calendar/tasks/contacts?
(Yeah, I know...those of you who will just say "Just get over it and use Outlook" might as well save your breath. And for the record, I also use OpenOffice instead of MSOffice. I can't afford the Micro$oft upgrade fees anymore. )
Thanks,
Eric Lorenz

You can do it, but it will cost you a few dollars. Go to http://www.mobical.net and sign up for a free account. It's a full-fledged online PIM, but you can just use the address book if you like. Funambol has a free Thunderbird sync tool that works like a charm, which you can get from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=149326&use_mirror=osdn&filename=Funambol-Pim-Plugin-win32-v0.4.5.xpi&53502710. Set it up using the info at https://www.mobical.net/mobical/application/MobicalApplication.html#gwt-faq. Once you've synced your Thunderbird contacts to Mobical, get either the Funambol or Nexthaus SuncML plug-in for your Blackberry, and set it up to sync with Mobical as well. You can get a free trial, after which you have to shell out ~$30 US to buy the plug-in. You can now sync contacts between your BB and Mobical (and other PIM info too if you like).. With the Nexthuas client, you can set up an auto-sync for, say, every 15 minutes (maybe with funambol too, i don't know). So now, you have your Blackberry contacts (+ maybe other data) being wirelessly synced with Mobical every 15 minutes. When you run Thunderbird, you now nice have a nice sync button on your toolbar that you can press whenever you want to sync Thunderbird and vice-versa.
Enjoy!
