Synchronization failure after upgrade to Desktop Software v.7.0

When trying to synchronize with Outlook after upgrade to Desktop Software v.7.0 got a message "CRADSDatabase ERROR (5211): There is an error converting Unicode string to or from code page string". The other options like device backup, synchronization of images and videos, file transfer, work fine. I am on BB Bold9700 (v.6.0, 2949) and Sony Vaio with Windows 7. The direction of synchronization does not matter and the same error pops up when e.g. only Tasks are attempted to synchronize.  There were no problems with Desktop Software v.6.

Hello again.
I have a few ideas...including the registry cleansing that you did not do, along with the other things in that thread that you may have skipped over.
In addition, hHere is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

    What did I do wrong?
    Should I typ the MacBook password?
    Please help !!

  • Tungsten T3, resurrected: Upgrading OS & Desktop Software

    I've resurected my Tungsten T3 from the abyss after over a year of inactivity.  I recently learned that all it needed was a battery replacement, so I sent it off for same. 
    Thanks to rhaw from Tech Support, on this forum, a show-stopper issue with hotsyncing was solved.  Now I'm up and running once again, and I'm getting a bit overconfident in that I can have an even better experience with my beloved PDA, .  I'm daring enough to want to not only upgrade the Desktop Software, but the OS itself, if possible.  (PDA & PC data provided below)
    First off, after such long inactivity, I don't remember how to determine the OS for this Tungsten T3.  So, if I could get some help with that, it would certainly be appreciated.  Secondly, is it wise to upgrade the palmOne Palm Desktop software?  Here are the specifics:
    PDA: Tungsten T3 
    Current Desktop software: Version 4.1.4
    Hotsync Manager:            Version 4.01
    Install Tool App:               Version 4.0.1
    PC: Dell XPS710
    OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
    Service Pack 1 Build 6001
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU   6600  @ 2.40GHz, 2394 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
    Perhaps I should be wondering why all's well on a Vista machine now, or no?
    I will be grateful for any input/insight,
    Captain
    Post relates to: Tungsten T3

    Okay, I'm a bit embarrassed, but my OS is v.5.2.1.  It was quite easy to find, once I started looking for it . . . under apps/information.  I suppose I've been re-newbied by laying dormant with this T3 for more than a year.  In any event, my original questions stand, which, in effect is, "should I be upgrading the OS and the desktop software now that I'm on a Vista 32bit machine, and if so, how should I proceed?
    Thanks,
    Capt

  • Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

    windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.  Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

    I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
    The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
    I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

    The issue occurred after upgrading from xf86-video-intel-v2.99.912-1 to v2.99.914+ and xorg-server-1.15.2-1 to 1.16.0-6 (and -devel).
    same issue if:
    - Switching accelaration method to "UXA" as per https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40860
    - Adding    Option "DRI" "False"
    Digged a bit:
    - same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
    - same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
    makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
    Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

  • [Forum FAQ] SkyDrive synchronization issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After Windows 8.1 released, users may encounter the issues about syncing files in SkyDrive. There are the error messages you may find:
    Error 0xS00705B4: This operation returned because the timeout period expired
    Sorry, the action couldn't be completed because the file hasn't finished uploading. Try again later
    Error 80070490: element is not found.
    Many SkyDrive folders in library like SkyDrive [1], SkyDrive [2] …
    We just would like to point out some possible causes of this issue and give you some suggestions to troubleshoot it.
    Cause:
    Location was messed up during upgrade.
    Pending uploading or downloading task blocked in synchronization.
    SkyDrive was hang.
    GPO blocked the syncing behavior
    The user profile folder was relocated after upgrading.
    How to fix:
    Suggestions 1: Checking the consistence of locations on both registry key and SkyDrive properties:
    Right click SkyDrive -> Properties -> Location tab              
    Open regedit.exe, locate to the following key and check the location.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SkyDrive
    Suggestion 2: For many SkyDrive
    folders:
    Check which one can be explored properly with right files and relocate the SkyDrive folder via changing the settings in
    suggestion 1.
    Or create a new folder for relocating SkyDrive’s.
    Suggestion 3: End the Skydrive.exe process and restart in command or disconnect and reconnect your MS account in SkyDrive to clear the pending task:
    Press Win+R to open run, and type following commands one by one:
    %windir%\system32\skydrive.exe /shutdown
    %windir%\system32\skydrive.exe
    Log off your MS account in SkyDrive and log in again to check the issue.
    Suggestion 4: Check the GPO settings in both gpedit.msc and regedit.exe:
    In GPO: If User Configuration –> Administrative Templates
    –> Desktop -> Prohibit User from manually redirecting Profile Folders
    is enabled, please disable it. Don’t forget to force update the policy changes: run command
    gpupdate /force as admin.
    In regedit: if DisablePersonalDirChange is set to 1 under
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, please change it to 0 and start the SkyDrive to check the results.
    At the end, we can’t assure that these suggestions can fix all such
    issues. If you need further help, it’s ok to feedback here or submit a new thread with the
    SkyDrive.exe.err.**.log under C:\Users\[Your name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\logs
    uploaded for research.

    I wrote a blog post back in January which describes a similar issue with the SkyDrive / OneDrive app in Windows 8.1 and how to resolve it at
    http://richardjgreen.net/roaming-profiles-windows-8-1-skydrive-app/.
    Hope this helps somebody.

  • Outlook Calendar sync failure after upgrade to DM 5.0

    I just updated the Desktop Manager to 5.0 (from 4.3 I think). After updating DM it wanted to upgrade the Blackberry software to 4.5 which I agreed to.
    Now when I sync I get no errors but items from the Blackberry are not being added to Outlook. I tried going back to DM 4.7, and the backup of the Blackberry made before the installs but it has not helped. I’ve cleared the folder in appdata\research in motion several times and tried syncing again. I also tried doing a one-way sync from device to Outlook. This resulted in a test event (only in Outlook) being deleted from Outlook but still no new events from the Blackberry being added to Outlook.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    I suggest the following steps to completely start over cleanly (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Hey there
    This looks like the error I was getting and I explained in details how I solved it in the following topic:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Sof​tware-for-PC/ATTENTION-Desktop-Manager-Has-stopped​...
    Can a forum admin please sticky my topic to help others with this issue or at least make an office topic with the problem and solution?
    Anyway, just to summarize the solution, just go to the following path on your blackberry (link it to your PC, select use as USB storage) and go to the following folder:
    F:\BlackBerry\system\
    You should see a file named "media sync". Rename it to anything else and then create a folder named "media sync".
    After doing this, try opening Desktop Manager again and it should work without any errors

  • Network conflicts after updating BB Desktop Software from v.5.0 to v5.0.1

    Hi,
    After updating the Blackberry Desktop Software from v5.0.0 to v5.0.1. Using the automatic updating tool, my computer starts loosing connection to the network every 1 hour. I'm using Windows XP.
    My company's technical assistance can only resolve the the problem by reinstalling the PC, but when I reinstall the software it happens again.
    Can anyone help me?

    Doing some more troubleshooting after my post above as I saw a couple of entries referencing Stop Light keep popping up in the log of the Console. I removed Stoplight and Cocoa Gesture (for good meausre) and RDC 2.0.1 started working. I think it is Stop Light which causes RDC stop working, but I don't have to time right now to put Cocoa Gesture back to confirm that. I might if I have the time or post here if you have Stop Light installed as well and removing it resolved the RDC issue for you.

  • Trackpad failure after upgrading to X

    After upgrading my 13" macpro, the trackpad would randomly fail when I was doing commands like switching desktops, mission control, or dashboard. Not always, but randomly, like it was going fine, but after I woke it up from sleep, it just didn't work out. Other trackpad gestures in a single desktop were fine however.

    You and me both.  No trouble with a trackpad after three plus years with Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion.  Mountain Lion breaks my trackpad to the point where I can only hold the power button and press enter to shutdown.  I cannot select or click anything with the left or right side of the trackpad.  Neither the "tap tp click" nor the "full physical push works with either on my mid-2009 Macbook Pro, aka MacBookPro5,2.  Happens after every wake from sleep.
    Frustrating and disappointing.  Is there a KB article regarding this?  It happened immediately after the Mountain Lion upgrade and was not expereienced before.
    Ran repair permissions after upgrade.  Advice?  SMC (PRAM) reset?
    Thanks,
    fellow

  • Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

    I've got OS X 10.9.2, Maverick, running on my iMac, and Safari 7.0.3.
    Today I upgraded Flash Player to 13.0.0.182 version.
    After upgrading I starting receiving the error message "Plug-in Failure" in every page I opened with video broadcasting, such as Youtube for instances, and no videos would be displayed anymore.
    I already reinstalled Flash Player, rebooted my machine, have all plug-ins enabled in Safari Preferences, but no success whatsoever.
    Think the solution could be downgrading to the early version of Flash Player, but have no idea how to do that now, since the Adobe site only allows me to UPgrade and not DOWNgrade.
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Many Thanks...

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
