Since 5.0.1 desktop upgrade, BBerry no longer synchs with outlook

I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows 7 PC for the calendar, contacts, memos. I don't do email on the blackberry at all because my family runs its own email server on a UNIX machine we keep here at home and the Verizon Blackberry setup for the Curve 8330 doesn't play well with that arrangement.
For email I use Thunderbird connected to our own server via IMAP.
The BBerry was fine synching with the Outlook calendar, contacts, memos but sans email in previous desktop versions. It would complain about lack of Outlook as the default email handler, but it would soldier on and do the synch.
NOW, apparently, if Outlook is not the default email handler, it cannot find anything to synch with and it just quits.
I would rather trash Outlook completely and find some other Calendar app than to use Outlook email as my default. I moved to the BBerry from a Palm Treo. I could dig that back out and just use the BBerry as a phone if I needed to (The Palm calendar app is better on the PDA, worse on the desktop).
For now, I think I'm going to have to uninstall the desktop 5.0.1 and reinstall the old 4.7 version until someone can tell me how to make the synch work again... (And in the forum I can see that I am not the only one having problems with this).

Well, I found something I can live with to make this work.
Using the 5.0.1 desktop... before I connect the Blackberry to synch, I set the Windows 7 default email to Outlook. Then I synch the calendar. Then I set the Windows email default back to Thunderbird. That works.
I can live with this for awhile, but I would hope that eventually the desktop would allow you to synch even if you don't use Outlook email. *sigh* I really don't need it to synch email at all... and with the amount of spam I'm filtering, trying to cope on the BBerry wouldn't be much fun anyway.

HT4191 Since 'upgrading' to ios6 notes no longer sync with outlook

Why does Apple always make life harder everytime I let them upgrade IOS? Why don't I trust my intuition and stick with the IOS I've got used to? It took me a while to discover that Notes on iphones are associated for an inexplicable reason to an email account and that it defaulted to my gmail account. I then set it to default (for new notes) to an account called 'on my iphone'. Magically IOS 5 synced these notes to my Outlook. Perfect. I 'upgrade' to IOS 6 and Notes 'on my iphone' no longer sync with Outlook (quite apart from now finding the new itunes a nightmare to use).

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Desktop Software Manager hanging on sync with outlook

My Desktop Software Manager is hanging when I try to sync my blackberry with outlook. It was working with XP, but I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now it is not. I have the latest version fully updated and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks.

Hello doctork91 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you get an error message during the sync or does the progress bar not seem to progress and no data is being read?
Can you provide the Outlook version you are using, the Desktop Software you are using as well as if your Windows 7 is 32bit or 64 bit?

BB Desktop Manager will no longer sync with BB Torch

My Torch will no longer sync with my desktop. BB Desktop software shows "Connecting " but this message stays on and does not change and it never connects. Never had any trouble before. I've reinstalled BB Desktop Manager but still have same issue.
The day prior to me noticing this problem I disconnected my torch during a desktop software backup, which is what I suspect is the cause of this problem, but cannot seem to fix it. Any thoughts on how to remedy?

Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old. I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
I recommend restoring your iPad. Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1). Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

Desktop Synch with Outlook - this may be the final straw

I am running Blackberry Desktop on a machine running Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using Blackberry 7.1 Bundle 1737. I am using Outlook. I don't have an enterprise email.
When I try to synch, it usually works on memos and tasks, fails on address (stalls part way through) or calendar and address. Errors include "Line 131 in .\error.cap", CRTran", "BB storefront", "CPreferensManager Configuruation Value not set in TransConfig.xml". Etc. I did a clean reinstall on the desktop, I wiped the Blackberry, cleaned out all Blackberry entries on drive and regedit, and still problems.
The synch with the same Blackberry and same version of Blackberry Desktop software works fine on laptop (32 bit).
Tried one more time: Did a clean unistall. Deleted "RIM" under my "appdata". Reinstalled using "run as adminsitrator". Ran the program from C:\ with properties as Windows 7. The synch ran for tasks, memos and calendar. However, for addresssess, it stalls at either 1687 or 79 addresses (out of ~4500). It ran fine on the laptop (Windows 7 32 bit).
Another issue: I accidentally set up gmail with "synch". I could not "unsynch" contacts, and had to do a security wipe and reinstall.
Tell me I should still believe in RIM/Blackberry.

After ages of successfully and happily using Blackberry Desktop 6, I reformatted my system and decided to give the newer 7.0 a whirl. Worst mistake ever. I tried 7.0 and it fouled up my contacts in a horrible way, both in my Outlook and on my phone.
Every few months I give it another shot, most recently with 7.1, and the software is still unintuitively awful compared to 6.10 when it comes to synchronization issues. I shake my head each time and I wonder if quality control is one of the reasons RIM lost so much market share.
My advice is to go back to 6.1 if you can find it on the net. It's always worked reliably for me.
610_b038_multilanguage.exe is what I'm using.

Issues since I moved from MobleMe to iCloud; e.g. synch with Apple TV, sending photos on e-mail, etc.

I have an Apple TV, an iPhone, a MacBook, a mini iPad and aTime Machine. I use my Time Machine as a wireless router. Since I switched from MobleMe to ICloud, I have had all kinds of issues. Example: things don't always synch. Have not been able to see recent photos I downloaded from iPhone and a digital camera on my Apple TV.
I have trouble sending i-photos to e-mail, synching with Apple TV, or moving photos to Flicker. When I send photos via eMail it still shows my address as <MobleMe [email protected]>. Then I troubleshooted. I thought I fixed it by fully migrating to iCloud, as it gave me message that it still allowed me to move photos to iCloud, even though MobleMe was no longer functional. But, it did it again when I tried to send iPhotos. It showed my address in the e-mail sender field as MobleMe <[email protected]>, but it still gave me same error message that I could not send it. There is a drop down in the field, but there are no other options, not can I change it. How do I get rid of the MobleMe before my e-mail @mac.com address?

The problem is with your router, so the Apple supprot forum can not really help. If they are connecting to the same router it should not matter if you use WiFi or eithernet it is the same network either way.

TS3999 Since upgrading to IOS 7, my calendar no longer syncs with Outlook Express 2010 on my PC. I believe we have iCloud 3.0 on our PC. I have tried all of the recommended remedies but the calendar from my iPad and iPhone has totally disappeared from Out

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading their iPhone and iPad to iOS 7?

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

Can't get Desktop Software configured properly to work with Outlook 2007 and Blackberry 8703E

I have a Blackberry 8703E and I have Outlook 2007 on my laptop. I keep trying to install the Desktop software but don't know what option to choose, how to configure it to recognize Outlook, etc. My goal is to be able to sync my contacts, appointments, tasks, etc. between the laptop and my Blackberry. I have no clue what I am doing or how to install and configure the software to work.
Also, I am going to uninstall the Desktop software and want to know what the link is to download the most current version that will work with my phone and my laptop (running Vista). I do not subscribe to the Blackberry service but only want to sync between my computer and the phone.
PLEASE HELP! I am not knowledgeable in this stuff and any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!
Wade Rearic

Don't know if you got your answer by now, but thought I'd try to help.
First, let me preface by saying I use Vista, not XP, but my Outlook is 2007.
Next, you need to be careful as to which versions of the software you use both (a) on your Blackberry desktop and (b) on your Blackberry itself. For example, I use the 8703e via Verizon, but so far the phone's software only goes up to 4.2, which is two iterations short of Blackberry's latest smartphone software. Why do they do this? Because they typically introduce the new software via a new phone via an "exclusive" with a certain carrier, leaving all other users to either salivate or switch to the "exclusive" carrier. Over time (6 months to a year) the "new" software may get rolled out to patient users with (by then) "older" phones, but they clearly want to incentivize consumers to just upgrade to new phones via special carriers.
As for the Desktop software, it is easy to get tripped up here, as Blackberry's download site in not very intuitive for this. Your problem could be that you downloaded and installed a Blackberry Desktop Software that is too advanced a version for your phone. (To add further confusion, the desktop software tends to have version numbers similar to the the phone software, such as "4.2.")
Bottom line: call your help number of your carrier to get the correct info for both sets of software for your phone.
Once all the right software/drivers are installed, the Desktop interface si fairly user-friendly. From a few choices you can backup your Blackberry data; synchronize it (if you are not already doing that wirelessly), etc.
Hope this helps.

Ever since updating to IOS5 my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes on my computer. It states that my computer is not authorized to sync with my iPhone yet it is authorized. My "Music" folder on my iPhone is now showing as completely empty.

Hey guys. Can you please help me? My iphone is not showing that I own ANY music anymore. It will not sync at all with my Itunes ever since downloading ios5. It states my computer is not authorized but it is...... I had no problems with my ipad, all of my music transferred just fine. I have no idea what to do now with my iphone except maybe a restore???
You all are much smarter than me. ;-) Can you help? Thank you.
Heather

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

After review the events of the morning.....
I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub. High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor. I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor. So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter. That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online. It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed. Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.
1. There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
2. There is no fan that I can discern. Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow". Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
3. This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.
