I have the Sprint 8330 and Vista with Outlook2007, what version of Desktop Manager should I be using?

Could it be that my Outlook is from Microsoft Office 2000?
Yes, exactly, which is why I asked several posts back... what version of Outlook are you using". We ask questions for good reasons.
You will need DM version 4.2 Service Pack for Outlook 2000.
OR, upgrade the Outlook to 2003 or better and use DM 4.7

Can I get hold of the setup file for an earlier version of Desktop Manager

Hello,
I've been using my Blackberry Bold 9700 trouble free for well over 18 months now. The other day I was prompted to upgrade the OS to level 6, which I did with no problem. I then noticed that there was also an upgrade for the Desktop Manager software. I also upgraded this (to version 6). I'm now really wishing I hadn't....
Ever since the upgrade I get the BSOD upon initially connecting my BB. I uninstalled the desktop manager and did a complete reinstall. This, if anything made matters worse as I then found that any USB device would cause the BSOD once I plugged it in.
The only way I've been able to solve this is by totally uninstalling the Desktop Manager and then also going and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the USB controllers from the Windows device manager.
All I really need the desktop manager for is to tether my BB to get internet acces when I'm off site, and I'd really like to go back to the earlier version but cannot find anywhere to download the setup file.
I'm running XP Pro by the way. It's obviously an incompatibility with something on specifically on my laptop which is causing the problem. I tried installing Desktop Manager 6 onto another laptop running XP Pro and it seems to be fine on there. I've not really got the time to mess around with this much more though so would prefer just to downgrade back to the previous version on this laptop if someone could point me in the right direction to get hold of the setup file.
Many thanks.

Won't connect to the Mac version of Desktop Manager

I have a blackberry 8520 v 4.6.1.314 (platform 4.2.0.135). It used to connect to the desktop manager, but now it won't connect at all.
The desktop manager reads the cellphone type just fine (on the screen it reads the name (my name), the cellphone type, the PIN number, and how much space my media card has left) but if I click the icon on the upper-left side of the screen, it says that my cellphone is not connected. The back-Up, Restore, and Sync buttons are all greyed.
How do I fix this? It used to be just fine a couple of months ago, and I never changed anything on my blackberry. -- in short, it has the same condition as it was before, when everything was a OK.
PS: My Mac version of the Blackberry Desktop Manager is the newest version.

Did you try a hard reset? ( phone powered on / remove battery / replace 15 seconds later and wait for reboot)
Did this work?
If not, make sure you have mass storage mode enabled on your device:
To enable mass storage mode complete the following steps:
Connect your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer.
From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Media Card or Memory, or click Options > Advanced Options > Media Card(depending on which BlackBerry® Device Software version you are running).
Press the Menu key and change Mass Storage Mode Support to On.
To enable Mass Storage Mode automatically every time you connect, scroll down to Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode when Connected and change it to Yes.
Press the Menu key and click on Save.
Enter your BlackBerry smartphone password and click Enter (if prompted).

Repeated ical sync failure with latest version of Desktop Manager

My wife downloaded the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager today. Prior to this version, syncing her iCal calendars with Desktop Manager had been working just fine. Now she gets the "Sync Error" message all the time. Looking
in the log shows the "Attempt to insert nil...." error that has been reported here previously. Also, it seems to not be only attempting to sync future events (which she had checked) - it popped up with 5 conflicts all of which were literally years in the past.
I tried the fix reported in one message (delete the /Users/username/Library/Applications Support/Blackberry Desktop Manager and reboot twice) but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Should I use another syncing program with
the Blackberry and the Mac and just ditch Desktop Manager until they get it fixed?

So i just did the same and yes, the sync error goes away, but i think another problem is occuring.
I use Entourage for my contacts and have a Blackberry to sync it to. Since contacts will only sync with ADDRESS i need to first sync ENTOURAGE with ADDRESS then it moves on to my BB. Since doing this exercise (above), it seems that ENTOURAGE is not syncing to ADDRESS...does this make any sense?

New version BB Desktop Manager is frozen in XP

Greetings, the BB desktop manager is running but is not showing the main screen. I use Windows XP. Any idea about this issue ?

I'd try force closing the DM app, (in your PC's task window) and maybe rebooting the PC, before anything else.

Sync Error in latest version of Desktop Manager for Mac

Using Version 1.0.2 (build 8) (version of 4/19/10) -- since updating to this version, always get message that "A Sync Error Has Occurred - please try sync again."
Seems to be a problem with Contacts because if I sync only Calendar to iCal it works fine, but since it doesn't tell me the nature of the error, I am having a hard time troubleshooting.
Using Mac OSX 10.5.8.
And I foolishly just tried "repace all contacts on this device" option, which I thought would overwrite Blackberry with Address Book from my Mac...but just wiped out the contacts on my phone.
Please Help!

So i just did the same and yes, the sync error goes away, but i think another problem is occuring.

Desktop Manager version for Storm 9530

Hi Everyone. Just got my BB Storm. Just curious which version of Desktop Manager should I download. I saw Desktop Manager 5.0 and 4.7. My Storm shows version 4.7.0.148. Does mean I have to download and install DM v4.7 or should I go with DM v5.0? Sorry if this has been answered before but can't find the topic for it.
Thanks,
coolzero

Excellent...you found the answer. The version of DTM and the version of the device OS are not linked. Good find!

Desktop Manager version 6 - TOTAL CRASH

I have just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio running Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2010).
I am using the Blackberry 8900 Curve with Vodafone.
Like everyone else, I could not synchronise my blackberry with Outlook 2010 and was told to wait until August for version 6 of Desktop Manager.
I just installed it! But when I tried to launch Desktop Manager is simply says "Blackberry desktop software has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem" and then I get " Blackberry desktop software 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".
I un-installed and reinstalled. No change.
Prior to downloading version 6 I had downloaded and installed version 5 with Service Pack - the file name was 501_b049_multilanguage. That one installed and launched but there was NO WAY to synchronise Blackberry Curve 8900 with Outlook 2010!
My PC is brand new and "TOTALLY CLEAN" of any special install. The only application running on this laptop other than Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit) and Microsoft Office 2010 (including Outlook 2010) are McAfee (which I disabled to ensure this was not the reason desktop manager would not work!) and an HP all in one printer!
IT HAS BEEN A WHOLE MONTH since Microsoft launched Outlook 2010, not sure what the issue is but both Desktop Manager 5 and Desktop Manager 6 have VERY SERIOUS ISSUES which should have been screened through QA. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED ALL THESE ISSUES???

Hi and welcome to the forums!
In previous versions of desktop manager the unexpected close conditions were usually associated with the lack of administration rights (Vista) or the User Account Control settings in Windows 7.
The third leading cause especially with laptops were either using a docking bay or the power management settings interfering with the USB control.
As you are using the supported 32 bit Outlook 2010, I suggest that the problem may be due a connectivity issue. We can document this with Kb05143 listed below.
I would also verify that the version of NET Framework installed on your PC.
When you removed and re-installed the desktop manager did you use the clean reload procedure?
I would suggest it if we cannot find the problem through logging.
Thanks,
Bifocals

Error synching Windows 7 Contacts with Desktop Manager

Hi
I'm new here and would appreciate any help you can give.
I''m having trouble synching the email addresses in my Windows Contacts file with my Blackberry. Not all email addresses synchronise properly, which is probably because they are sourced from several different databases previously. There doesn't seem to be a way to map the fields accurately as the Windows 7 contacts folder shows the field as "E-mail Address" and the Desktop Manager shows the field being imported from Windows as "Preferred Address". This mapping only transfers those addresses which were previously exported from a BB/Lotus Notes database.
I've tried exporting to csv's and changing the field names as well as importing through Outlook 2010 rather than WIndows but with no success.
Has anybody else had this problem and found a solution?
Any advice or suggestions welcomed.

Hi all..
I am having the same problem with desktop software 6, but my problem is more like this..
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19300
The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.
I think that I am gonna reply here instead of making new thread about windows installer 4.5 and Desktop Software 6, please move if I did wrong.
PS. Bifocals..
The link you provided is missing. Or it just back to BlackBerry Technical Solution Center page and I tried searching the KB13781 with no success.
Please if there is other link that may be good for my problem.
Thank you very much.
Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.
Thanks.

Sync on desktop manager won't start with new 9700

I am attaching my 9700, with a USB cable, to my laptop. The Desktop Manager software opens but it will not start the sync'ing process with my device.
- the little "check" box - "automatically synchronize device and computer when USB connected" is switched on
- I am using the latest version of Desktop Manager
- the "Synchronize" tab is in grey. It's grey'ed out. When my curser hovers over "Synchronize" it won't light up, as in, it won't let me press the Synchronize button to initiate the process.
- my 9700 is brand new. I had no synchronizing problems with my previous model, the Curve.
- my laptop is a great device, I don't currently, nor haven't had, any issues with it in the past - DELL D420 Latitude. I seem to have all the drivers I need
- I am running Windows XP
- I am not linking to a server at work. My Blackberry is set is purely a directly link from the 9700 device, to my computer, and syncs with the calendar, address book and tasks list (MS Outlook 2003 from MS Office)
- my new 9700 - I bought it 2weeks ago. It did sync in the beginning. About three times successfully. But not now obviously.
- on my Windows bar at the bottom of my computer screen it pops up "new hardware added" and the 9700 device is no longer described by its identity number (PIN ref?), it says "new hardware added, 'memory device'"
- I've searched through the Blackberry help pages and so far, all I can come up with is that my computer can't seem to recognise now, for some unknown reason, that it is connected to my 9700. Blackberry help suggested I go to the "pairing" pages of the Help guide, but I thought "pairing" was only a subject that involves Bluetooth activities. Not a USB cable connection.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hey Graeme0309,
If you disconnect the BlackBerry from your computer and open Desktop Manager, are you able to open Synchronize?
What version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using?

Desktop Manager ver. 5.0 Data1.cab file has bad CRC

The current DTM software appears damaged. Did clean uninstall of old ver. 4.5 software. Downloaded the "500_b028_multilanguage.exe".
