Still Happening - Software HANGING while "Checking for device application updates...."

Windows Vista v4.7 of Blackberry Desktop Software
As soon as I plug my Blackberry in, the desktop software pops up message: "Checking for device application updates....." and it hangs.
I've tried rebooting, re-installing the Desktop Software and sometimes this will solve the problem for a few syncs, but it always comes back.
I tried changing the USB connection from my USB hub directly into the back of the computer and this fixed the problem for a few syncs but now it's BACK AGAIN!!!
Please help!!

I'm having this problem with Windows 7, build 7000. If I unplug my USB connection, the desktop manager seems to unblock, then stops again. Is there an issue with the device driver, jvm incompatabilities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
BobFoery

Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works.

Stopping automatic device application updates

I am running BlackBerry desktop manager version 4.7 and whenever I go to synchronise I get an automated routine of checking for device application updates, which takes 10 seconds or so. Its irritating in that it shows me device application updates that I either already have or don't want and I have to go through the routine every time. Is there a way of stopping it doing this automatically and only checking for updates when I want to? Thanks, Jon.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go into the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs, then select BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.7, and click the [Change/Remove] button.
On the next screen, Modify should already be selected - select it if it isn't, and click [Next].
On the next screen click the Down Arrow to the right of BlackBerry Automatic Update and select This Feature Will Not Be Available from the drop down list. A red X should now appear to the left of the option. Click [Next].
The appropriate Integration Option should already be selected. Depending on your choice, there may be one or two screens that follow. Just click [Next] until you get to the window titled Installation Options.
Uncheck the box to the left of Check for software updates and click [Install].
This should stop Desktop Manager from connecting to the Internet to get the latest Vendor.xml which also prevents you from being able to install another carrier's OS onto your device.
One note. I haven't looked at this lately, but in the past attempting to modify an installation of Desktop Manager can often fail. This is because if you installed by simply running the EXE you download from the BlackBerry site, it actually extracts to your Temp directory, and installs from there. The MSI file needed to allow changes in the installation is supposed to be copied to another location - typically in a directory under Windows or Program Files, but older versions did not do this, so when you went to make a change in the installation, if the file was deleted from your Temp directory, it would stop and ask for the MSI file and not be able to proceed until you point to it.
However, the EXE you download is really just a self extracting Zip file, and can be easily extracted with WinZip or any other typical un-archiving utility. Whenever I install Desktop Manager, I first extract the EXE to a permanent location, and then run BlackBerrySetup.exe. This means the MSI will always be available when I need to modify the installation (which I do surprisingly often since I also support BlackBerries at work). Typically this isn't a problem with regular users which is probably why the problem was never fixed (at least as late as version 4.5 anyway).

Desktop Manager freezes when looking for device app. updates

I NEED to use the Desktop Manager because I want to remove apps from my 8130 that I believe are bogging my phone down and causing it to act wierd (like Yahoo Messenger!) So I connect my phone, click on DM. Instantly a gray box comes up saying "Searching for device application updates. Please wait." It runs and runs and never does anything. I allowed it to go for 20 minutes one time just to see if I was just being too impatient, but still nothing. I click "Cancel" and DM goes into "Not Responding".
I have repeated this cycle several times... decided maybe it was the software (v4.7) and went to do an uninstall. It goes to compute system space and comes back with a 1606 error, something to do with "network something or other". So I cannot even UNINSTALL it!
What gives? I have noticed several others says they have had problems with 4.7 crashing their computer, which hasn't happened to me yet... but has anyone else had what I just described happened to them. And if so, what did you do to fix it?

Possibly...but if the issues wind up being intermingled (as they so often do), then having them separated becomes confusing. The way these forums work is that there are many of us here volunteering in our spare time to help out. And that means needing to have clean hand-offs of information so that anyone can pick up from another (since, for instance, I need to dash out right about now...someone else will need to pick up). If one post here only has a subset of the total story, someone picking it up here will have no way to realize that other things were tried in another thread. The key for each OP is to keep it to one thread unless and until it can be determined that things should be split -- and then we can have the mods do that if we need it. For your issues, while it's so new and in the initial diagnosis stages, keeping it in one place would be cleaner.
BTW -- all of that is merely IMHO. I have no "power" over what anyone here does. I'm just a volunteer.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

HT1338 when I click on software update it says ''An error occurred while checking for updates.'' Why does it say that?

So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!

Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).

I had a jailbroken ipod touch 4th generation, 8 Gigabyte model with about 150mb left of free storage. I tried checking for an update on my ipod touch using the OTA A LOT OF TIMES but it said, "an error occured while checking for a software update." I finally backed up my ipod to iCloud and iTunes and updated my ipod using my desktop PC. I now have an UNJAILBROKEN ipod running IOS 5.1.

"software update" "An error occurred while checking for updates"

When I click on "Software Update", an error results, "An error occurred while checking for updates". It is definitely connected to the internet. I was gifted a G5 and I installed a new hard drive and loaded the OS, OS X 10.3.5. That version of Safari does not display pages correctly. E.g., support.apple.com/downloads just clocks on the righthand side of the page.
Because cannot access that link, cannot manually update the OS - I was thinking this version is "old" and as a result, unable to connect to apple's update server. Thanks.

Thanks, I upgraded with your info.
Ultimately, I am trying to access mail.google.com but receiving the following error with opera v9.5.x: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.

Could be the update servers are overloaded. Keep trying.

HT201210 how do I correct - Unable to Check for Update an error occured while checking for a software update.

error message: Unable to check updates. an error accured while checking for a software update.

It is all in your WIFI.
I have 2 internal Wifi networks at home. In one (family) the software update works immediately, in the other one (guess) it gives me the same error "Unable to Check for Udpate" ... The guess network I did set up carries some restrictions being the reason why the update does not work.
