Sync Multiple Blackberries to one Desktop Manager

I have a Blackberry Tour for business (company provided phone) and I have a Curve 8330 that is my personal blackberry. Is there a way to use/sync multiple blackberries to one desktop manager and keep the sync info separate?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. The Desktop Manager automatically keeps each device separate. However, if your Desktop Manager is setup for Enterprise use, you may get a prompt when plugging in your personal device that asks if you want to switch devices. Just say no to that prompt. Then you can sync the personal device.

Sync: Multiple Instance Error Causes Desktop Manager to Fail

I can no longer sync my Outloook calendar with my Bold 9650 using Desktop Manager 6 (bundle 3084). I failed multiple times, rebooted each device and tried again but still receive the same error. Error is a message from Windows that Desktop Manager has stopped working. The last few entries in the log indicate:
08:55:35.962 Sync information for application 'Calendar' in translator 'Outlook' --
08:55:35.962 Number of newly added records since last sync (New): 482
08:55:35.962 Number of records modified since last sync (Modified): 0
08:55:35.962 Number of records deleted since last sync (Deleted): 0
08:55:35.965 Performing two-way sync

08:55:35.966 ERROR: Multiple instance error. Remove a recurring instance or exception "Bi-weekly Leadership Team Call".
I saw an entry in the Outlook calendar related to the error, but not in the BB calendar, and deleted it but this did not resolve the problem. At this point, I cannot get DM to complete synchronization. Has anyone else experienced this and identified a resolution?
thanks,
eric

Hi Eric,
Did you manage to resolve this? I have the same error and cannot get DM to complete the sync.
Thanks,

Just upgraded to Lion, problem now syncing contacts onto Blackberry using Desktop Manager

I just upgraded to Lion, got iCloud going. Works great with my iPhone, but my husbands Blackberry no longer syncs properly using the Blackberry Desktop Manager. Installed the latest version of that program & still no luck. The calendar, music and photos sync fine, but all of the contacts have been wiped out now on the phone and not a single one will sync over from the mac.

I have the same problem. I've tried many solutions but no success. ICloud has been a curse. I love my Mac but if I can't sync my BB 9930, I may have to change.

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS STILL WITH DESKTOP MANAGER 1.0.1

Could you please let me know if you are having the same problems with the new desktop manager for Mac 1.0.1. (simply state the number on the list below - no need to write anything else)
I doubt very much anyone has a fix for the problems since RIM doesn't, but could you just post a quick reply identifying which of the following issues you're also having in the list below. I Would like to prove to RIM how many people are having the same issues - I'm not so sure they realize how pervasive these issues are. Thanks
(1) Several fields in each contact in my Mac Address Book are not transferred to my Blackberry, for instance: the phone number category "Work 2", the phone number category "Other", the email category "home" - if there is two of them only one is transferred;
(2) It cuts off the end of the "Note" section in the Address Book contacts;
(3) The software crashes when syncing Entourage calendar;
(4) The software severely retards the functioning of my other programs while syncing the Entourage calendar and it is necessary to restart my computer for normal function to resume;
(5) Calendar event alarms are removed from my blackberry even though they are active on my desktop; and
(6) Some recurring Calendar events are not transferred over to my Blackberry.

My problems are also different. It was working for a while (a few weeks and maybe 4 syncs). Now, it always gives an non-descript "Sync Error" message when trying to sync Contacts with Address Book on my MacBook running Mac OSX 10.5.8, and DTM 1.0.1.   I've UNinstalled it, REinstalled it, and can get it to sync with iCal, but not Address Book.
I've tried all sorts of possible solutions, like eliminating all the Groups in my address book and only having 1. I've tried clearing the Blackberry data before syncing. I've tried syncing both directions, and I've tried syncing with overwriting everying in the Blackberry. None of those solutons works.   I also had problems with iCal, but got that to sync by clearing the calendar on the BB first, then syncing calendar alone (not with contacts).
I cant even express how disappointed I am with the Blackberry Destop Manager after waiting for more than year for it after PocketMac failed as a useless piece of code.   The limited setup features, and now its lack of any useful functionality has me ready to dump my Blackberry for an iPhone.   If that happens RIM, I won't be back, and I won't be advising any associates to stick with Blackberry. I'm at the end of my consumer satisfaction, so you don't need to spend millions with J.D. Power to figure this one out. Just make the **bleep** thing work with a MAC! (Just in case anyone from RIM is lurking...you'd think at least one of those software guys would use a Mac?)!!

How can I sync multiple google calendars (one 1 account)?

I am wondering if it is possible to sync multiple calendars from my google account to my iCal account. I had one calendar that I sync to iCal and today I added another calendar for my work schedule to google and iCal hasn't pulled it up. Please advise.
Thanks in advanced!

Anyone? This is extremely important.
Thanks again.

Multiple Email Accounts on Desktop Manager?

Are there any plans to add functionality to the desktop manager to manage all of the email accounts in my phone? I have some accounts that aren't in outlook that only need to be sent to my phone, and I was wondering if you can manage multiple accounts, can you manage accounts that aren't in outlook. I had to use the email site to setup my accounts to begin with which is fine, but if I have to fine tune things, I don't always want to have to sign into it.

apart from BES users (= Corporate BlackBerry), the Desktop Manager does not deal with emails except for making backups.
Your device can get up to 9 email addresses, you just have to configure that by going on the BIS website of your carrier.

What is the easiest way to sync multiple ipads to one computer

Is it possible to (easily) sync multiple (10) Ipads to one computer? My hope is to have all ten sales reps in the field, with the same info on their ipads.

I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

Syncing multiple iPones with one computer

What is the easiest way to sync 11 iphones with one computer? At work im in charge of 11 iPhones and need to manage them from one computer. Each user has there own apple ID and different apps so on and so forth. I would like to be able to update all the phones without getting all there stuff mixed up or losing there data.

Well, you're gonna have to log into each user's account in itunes, then sync their phone, log out, log the next user in, sync, etc.
Make sure you DO NOT SYNC CONTACTS, CALENDARS or stuff like that or you will screw things up!

HT1351 Syncing multiple devices on one iMac

Need help on syncing multiple devices with different content on one iMac so each device remains unique. How's is that done? Do not want apps copied over, I want each device to have its own apps pictures music etc....

Plug your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into iTunes via the USB dock cable.
Find it listed under Devices in the left sidebar and click on it.
Go through the tabs on the top of the iTunes window and select the music, movies, apps, podcasts, etc. you want to sync.
Your selection can include none, all/automatic, or just the exact content you wish.
Sync!
Repeat with all yourdevices.
Or you can do this:
Option+Click on the iTunes icon and choose Create Library and go from there.
Switching library is just an Option+Click away, this means you can choose 2 diff libraries.

Sync BlackBerry automatically without launching Desktop Manager

Hi all! 1st up I apologise if this question has already been answered on the forum somewhere - the searches are so vast I wasn't able to read all posts in detail!
I have a Torch 9800 and am not running through an enterprise. Have installed Desktop Manager 6.
I've set it up such that my contacts, mails etc. sync automatically but this seems to mean 'automatically when Desktop Manager is launched' which is still not fully automatic...
Is there any way to either have this sync occur without intervention as soon as I plug my BB into the USB or to change the autorun settings that it launches Desktop Manager when it sees my handheld? (The best autorun settings I can find is to automatically sync media, not organiser...)

I have the same issue.
I succeed to USB sync manually my BB Torch 9800, but after that... nothing is updated.
I need to manually re-click to the button in BB Desktop PC.
--> BB team, could you please add an automatic option ? (at least periodic 5-30 min autosync)

Syncing multiple Ipods to one laptop

How do I sync my 3 kids Ipods with only one laptop? It seems unreasonable to have a unique laptop for every Ipod in the house. We have 5 Ipods total, with 2 laptops. I need to find a way to put songs on my kid's ipods without having to "erase" the content that's on there now. Thoughts?
Thanks.

Wifi Music Sync missing from my Mac Desktop Manager

I have Mac Desktop Manager v2.0.4 which, according to everything I have read online, should have the Wifi music sync feature under Device options:Media tab. Yet, mine simply doesn't have it.
Any thoughts about why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Steve

I have the same question too.

Can you sync multiple iphones to one itunes account

Yes each phone will have its own syncronisation so you can set what goes onto those phones independently of each other

Syncing Multiple iPhones to one computer question

Hello,
I am an iPhone owner, and I have always used my PC to sync the phone with iTunes. A friend of mine also owns an iPhone, however he doesn't have access to a computer with iTunes and was hoping to use mine. He's made several purchases between apps and music with the phone, and we want to sync some of his music from the iTunes library on my PC without causing him to lose the stuff already stored on his device. Is it possible to do this? When we tried before it looked like it was going to delete his purchases from the phone since they were not purchased with my account, which is the one I sign in to in my iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

Itunes content ( apps/music/pics/etc) can be synced with only one computer.
If you sync to a different one, it will erase the itunes content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

Sync multiple devices with one iTunes library without apps

Hi,
I've got multiple iOS devices in the house (not all are mine).
Each person has his own iTunes account with their app purchases, while we share the same iTunes music library under one account on the Mac.
What I want to do is to sync the music on all the devices but NOT sync the apps and NOT keep them on the Mac.
I want that every device has his own set of apps but they are not copied on the Mac. May I just disable syncing of apps and delete them from the Mac?
What happens if I want to restore my device? I should have the apps data in the backup right? But how can I restore the apps themselves? (if the answer is possibile only with iOS 5 and iCloud is fine, because all our devices are going to be updated to iOS 5 and I can wait until its release)
Thanks for your help!

Your iTunes collection is individual to computer, not in the cloud somewhere and synchronizing to your computer from there. In other words, if you delete a file on one computer it will still be on the others until you delete it from there. Likewise, if it is on one computer that is not a guarantee it will be on other computers. The closest to this is some of the automated downloading Apple does if you buy things from them. You will just need to make sure your desktop is really up to date before wiping your media from the other computers.
