PB will not communicatel with desktop software

Ok, this is driving me nut!  For whatever reason, when I hook PB to usb, the desktop software fails to communicate with the PB.  The software does recognize that the PB is connected, but can not get it to recognize anything else.  I have tried dturning off PB then connecting it, that does not work either.  Keep getting same error over and over.  "Blackberry Desktop Software can not communicate with the connected device."  Gives options to retry, update or cancel.  I have actually gotten it to work 2 times out of about 25-30 attempts.  The last time I got it to work, all syncs worked flawless.  Retried to do this process again about 3 hours later, and guess what NOTHING works again.  Have tired changing the file sharing properties and desktop manager, did not help.  Can not figure this out PLZ advise

Hello chuckie,
Uninstall the Desktop Manager from your computer and ensure your PC reboots.
Download a new installation package from www.blackberry.com/desktop and ensure your PlayBook is not connected when installing. After the installation completes, reboot your PC.
After the reboot completes, launch the Desktop Software and then connect your PlayBook.
Ensure you eject your PlayBook when you are ready to disconnect it.

  • Playbook will not connect with Desktop Software

    Playbook won't connect with desktop software any longer. Seems to have started after latest update to 2.0. Still working fine with my Torch 9810, but not with the Playbook. I even tried reinstalling the Desktop software, but no go. Tried to "forget" Playbook, but now I can't even add it as a device any longer!

    possible you need to uninstall Device Manager, not Desktop Software.
    Disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Uninstall the Device Manager.
    Reboot your computer (for good measure)
    Connect the PB using the USB cable.
    Now you should see a PlayBook CD-ROM.
    In that CD-ROM you will find version 7 of the Device Manager, install it.
    Once installed disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Wait for about 15 seconds then plug it back in.
    Windows should detect new device and start Device Manager. It may take up to two minutes for windows to detect and properly install.
    Then device manager will map 'z' drive to the PB.

  • MyDAQ fails Self-Test and will not work with any software

    I cannot get the myDAQ to communicate properly. I did everything I could to make sure that the device was detected by the computer. It shows up in Device Manager under Data Acquistition Devices as NI myDAQ and in NI MAX as "myDAQ1", but I receive errors when trying to use it with any NI program.
    Trying to self-test or reset the device in MAX gives these errors:
    -The self test failed. -88705 The specified device is not present or is not active in the system. The device may not be installed on this system, may have been unplugged, or may not be installed correctly.
    -There was a problem resetting the device. Error code: 80040383.
    It also gives this error when trying to use the Elvis Oscilloscope:
    -Error -200324 occurred at ELVISmx_DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi:1 
    Possible reason(s):
    NI-DAQmx is unable to communicate with the device. Make sure the device is present in and accessible to the system, is not currently being reset, and is not reserved by another driver such as Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled and repaired all installed NI products twice. I updated to NI-DAQmx 9.8.0 and am using NI Elvis 4.5. I have checked  NI Device Loader and mDNS Responder Service in Services and everything is running properly. I have also tried Reset Configuration Data in NI MAX several times. I turned Fast Startup off as suggested in one article. I have tried plugging it into every single USB port on my computer; all 8 of them. The blue led is on when plugged in, but I cannot figure out why it will not work with any of the software. I am running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. Also, it completely works on the school computers running Windows 7 without any problems. I would like to have it functioning with all the NI software purchased, but all I want to do is use the oscilloscope software for now. It has honestly been way too much work and a huge loss of time for something that should work out of the box. Please help me resolve this, thanks.

    Hi chaka123,
    I had already read that article so it wasn't anything I hadn't tried. I did, however, uninstall both NI DAQmx and NI ELVISmx, ran the registry cleaner and then plugged my device in. Now it shows up as USB Flash Firmware Updater. This is actually what it showed the first time I plugged this in out of the box. After much troubleshooting I was finally able to get it to at least recognize it as a myDAQ. This is problem I know others have had.
    To answer your questions:
    Does the Test Panels work at all?
    I am not sure, I didn't try it before uninstalling. Now the Test Panels isn't an option because it is recognized as the Flash Firmware Updater.
    Have you tried to delete the device in MAX?
    Once again, I cannot because it shows up as Flash Firmware Updater.
    Which is the color of the icon on the left side of “myDAQ1”?
    It was green before the uninstall. Now it shows the USB symbol.
    I tried deleting the driver. When I plugged the device back it, Windows started automatically trying to load a driver for it. Now it shows as NI myDAQ with a yellow exclamation symbol. In MAX it shows as NI myDAQ with a USB symbol. Under Driver Details it says "Windows does not have a driver associated with your device." 
    What folder can I manually point Device Manager to in order to load the correct driver?

  • BB 8330 Curve will not sync with Desktop Manager (Media Portion)

    The BB Desktop Manager software will not let me use the Media portion of the software.  I have enabled the media card option on my BB and I have also enabled "Mass Storage" on my phone.  Why can't I get my BB to sync with the software?

    Hi ripkin1981,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using? What happens when you try to sync media? Do you receive an error message?

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 would not sync with Desktop Software for MAC

    When connecting my Bold 9900 to my MAC the Desktop Software opens correctly, phone is recognised and connected but the SYNC option is not available. I cannot click the Green sync button nor click the relevant sync button under the device tab.
    All answers would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Dimitris

    Hi dimitrisuk,
    Welcome to the support community!
    Can you please verify that your synchronization settings have already been configured? This article should provide more information. "Unable to configure sync or click the sync icon due to the icons being greyed out in BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac" KB26367
    This link to the user guide provides the steps to verify that your synchronization settings have been configured. http://blck.by/14BZb5q
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Palm tx running hotsync mgr 5.4.8 will not sync with desktop running hotsync 7.0.2 (windows Vista )

    What version of Vista?  32bit or 64bit?  If 64bit, as mentioned in the thread I referred you to, USB sync is not possible.
    Are you trying to sync via Wifi or USB cable?  Do you have a HotSync account name for the data on the computer? 
    When you did a Hard Reset, did you choose the HotSync account name you created on Palm Desktop?
    The numbers you are referring to do not have any relation.  One is a version of Palm software on the device, the other is the version of the HotSync Manager software included with Palm Desktop 6.2.2. 
    The firmware on the TX does not need to be upgraded.  The problem lies elsewhere.

  • MyDAQ passes Self-Test but will not work with any software

    Hello,
    I am currently having issues getting the myDAQ to interface with ELVISmx Instruments. My first attempt followed the included white paper step by step. When that did not work I moved on and tried installing (one at a time of course) several different versions of ELVISmx (14.0, 4.5, 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.2.1, and 4.1) and none of them have been able to interface correctly with the hardware. Additionally, I have tried installing the entire LabView suite provided by Georgia Institute of Technology, and several other NI applications associated with the myDAQ on the white paper.
    The software installs have all completed successfully, the ELVSImx instrument launcher launches; however when I click on the DMM tool, or any other one, the application fails to load. A loading window pops up and the blue status bar scrolls but nothing ever happens. The application window never launches. I let it run over night thinking it might be confused or just really slow but nothing changed in the morning. The only way to exit out of the window is to end the task in the task manager.
    In NI MAX, the hardware is recognized correctly and the "self test" feature returns that the myDAQ is functioning correctly. I have checked the Event Viewer for Windows applications and there do not appear to be any errors associated to any NI software.
    I have exhausted all my resources in trying to get this to work but all of have done is frustrate myself and everyone I speak to about the issue.  

    Hi amoore73, 
    The myDAQ requires the NI DAQmx drivers as well as NI ELVISmx. Have you tried installing NI DAQmx?
    It can be found on our website here: http://www.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/catnav:du,n8:3478.41.181.5495,s...

  • Curve 8330 will not sync with desktop manager after 4.5 OS upgrade

    Last time I connected to the desktop manager, it asked me to upgrade to 4.5. I thought, why not? So I did. Since then, I can no longer use the Google Sync for calendar and contacts as it stopped working immedately afterwards.
    I realized I need to get my contacts updated on my phone, and my calendar corrected so I tried to sync to the desktop.
    The phone is no longer being recognized by the system. This is since the updated. I have downloaded the USB / Modem drivers again but haven't installed / reinstalled them yet.
    I was hoping it was maybe a simple fix?
    I'm running Win XP Professional SP 3. I am using 4.7 of the Desktop manager. (Worked fine before OS upgrade)
    If I haven't given enough details to help, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    natattack06 yes it should also help you as well.... basically any 5xx error
     gallhiser you should still try repairing yours, might be able to sell it and make back some money

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

  • Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on.

    Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on. This severely strains my workflow and makes it incredibly hard to add the image after it is exported to the desktop Illustrator. Is this being fixed??

    This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
    Thank you,

  • TS2570 Mac will not start up after software up date, just screen with Apple logo and spinning icon?

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
