Syncing bold 9650 to Vista and Win 7 laptops

Now I have a new problem . I bought a new laptop MS win 7, and I want to sync my BB bold 9650 to this and my old DELL Vista OS
I had to DLoad Desktop Software ver 7.1.0 Bun 33 cause its all I could find at the time . Found some ver 6.1.0 but they were not from Bb so did not want to download
When I sync my Bold with the Old DELL Vista the first 150 of my contacts got corrupted . It appears that the full NAME filed was moved to the company field and now
when i look at contacts in Address card I see nothing on the top line.
If I look at them in Business card view , I can se them but that is not the best way for me to be able to see them all easily .
I tried unistalling and reverting to an earlier DM ver 6.1.0 that I had before but that got corrupted and I am back to version 7.1. 0 Ver 7 dooes not use Intellisync so it syncs differently now
AT some point I deleted all the contacts on the device and transferred them via Out look one way sync .
I had backed them up before so I used that to send them to device.
Now I dont know how to map fields in BB to match outlook 2007 and if that was the problem why did only 100+ contacts have the field changed.
I could go through the 100+ contacts and copy paste "company " filed into name filed if there is no other way but I am afraid it will happen again if i don't figure out what caused it in the first place.
Is there a solution , and how do I map fileds in Outlook to sync properly with BB DM Ver 7.1.0 . I mapped them all correctly a few years ago when I converted from Palm to BB . Was basically trouble free for a long time
Thanks
P.S. I have heard people having problems with Win 7 sync and I have even touched that yet

Unintalled and reinstalled . What I see when i go into advanced sync of contacts , fields > the first name , last name,
company name, fields are greyed out
I just cheked the new Win 7 laptop and the fileds are greyed out there also
So i dont belive all is well . Maybe they are not syncing all ?
I just synced after deleting one contact in outlook on my laptop and I see its still on my phone
this ver 7.1.0 suxx Have to find an earlier version that is not corrupted

Issue syncing Bold 9650 and Entourage Calendar using Desktop Manager

I'm trying to sync calendar items in Entourage residing on my MacBook Pro with calendar items on my BB Bold 9650 and noticed that "Entourage" is no longer offered as a calendar choice with which to sync (I've been a BB and Entourage user for 2 years and this is a new issue - Entourage used to be offered as a choice). I tried to fix by uninstalling Desktop Manager and reinstalling with newest version - no change - problem persists. Calendar items are not syncing between BB and Entourage - any idea how to fix?

My apologies hiforman.
If you click on Calendar in BlackBerry Desktop Software does it list more than 1 calendar?
Also you're saying in Contacts does it just list entourage?
Also open up iCal on the Mac, do you see an entourage calendar listed?
I look forward to your reply.

I am trying to sync media to my iphone and my laptop is saying sync failed to start

WHAT DO I DO !!!!!

This is a software issue on your computer and requires extensive troubleshooting.
- your last backup or your backup folder might be faulty
- you might have conflictying software installed
- or .... a dozen other possibilities
To approach the issue systematically you should test the issue with a different admin user on your computer to see if the issue is user specific or sytem wide. Depending on the result the next steps have to be taken.
If this goes beyond your experience you should find somebody to help you or contact Apple and pay for them helping you.

How do I stop the EMAIL sync between my desktop and my laptop?

How do I stop the email sync between my desktop computer and my laptop? Right now, the laptop is set to automatically load my email when I click on mail. I use my desktop daily; laptop only when traveling. The laptop is somehow set to receive ALL messages, so I get messages that are several weeks/months old. I want to be able to manually sync and NOT have all of the hundreds of old, already viewed messages sent to my laptop. However, I DO want my desktop to receive all of my old messages so that I can have them when I return from traveling. Thanks.

Actually, your mail isn't 'synchronizing' in the conventional sense at all. And, you are effectively trying to make it do so manually at the present time. As you have discovered, this simply does not work.
The only way that you can effectively address your requirements is to use IMAP—rather than POP3—technology. Using IMAP will allow you to readily control what is stored on the server, and will provide a view into that data store when you use your portable computer.
While is is possible to use POP3 and set one computer to delete mail from the server and the other not to, this is potentially fraught with problems, and will not fully address your concerns.
An IMAP option is available from such providers as Apple with .Mac, AOL with AOL Mail and AIM Mail, and Google with GMail. You can convert an existing POP3 account with such a provider to IMAP with little difficulty, or initiate a new IMAP account with such a provider and forward mail to it from providers who do not offer such an option.

I am FRUSTRATED with my bb bold 9650

I have asked the same question to this forum at least twice, I have contacted my carrier who tried to deal with the issue for several hours then transferred me to BB company support who tried to help me. I have uninstalled the desk top 7 OS and reinstalled it to NO AVAIL. I was running BB 6 on my computer which is a PC running windows 7. When I had the vista os I could sync seamlessly between my bb and my laptop. Once I changed to windows 7 OS the BB ver desktop version 6 ceased working. I downloaded BB ver 7 OS to my laptop and I AM STILL unable to sync between my laptop and my BB bold 9650. I have been told that the best possible solution is to upgrade to the BB10. I can't afford this option right now. Since I am an independent contractor and have a mother in law that is disabled and a son with autism I depend on seamless syncing for appointments etc. Friend have wondered why I am loyal to BB and don't just switch to an IPHONE- truly I am wondering too? I like the Blackberry OS, I have been happy with it for a number of years but this syncing problem as well as the lagging paypal card swiping ability is certainly making me wonder if my aversion to the IPHONE is misplaced. HELP HELP

Just to be clear, we're talking ONLY about the Desktop Software version, right? Not about your BB device OS version. That would be a completely different discussion...and all that I've talked about has solely to do with the Desktop Software.

Becuase I upgraded from OS 6 w to 7 becuase it had stopped working
Oh...sorry...I did not quite understand that from your first post...
kimdyuma wrote:
I was told by BB that Os 6 would not work with windows 7
Well, I don't think that's the case...although the prior version system requirements aren't available, I am 99% certain that Desktop Software 6.x worked fine in Windows 7. I don't know who "BB" is that told you that, but I think they may have been mistaken.
kimdyuma wrote:
I upgraded then the syncing would work just fine.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It often depends on the exact root of the problem. If the problem is outside of the Desktop Software (e.g., corrupt Outlook installation), then nothing the Desktop Software can do would help that, no matter what version of the Desktop Software is used.
kimdyuma wrote:
Also clicking on any link to previous versions of BB desktop software will onlyl give you the option of OS 7 ( except of course the 10)
Sorry but, from post 15 of the thread I linked for you, not correct...when I look at that link, I see various levels of Desktop Software 4.2, 5, and 6. So all I can guess is that you are not looking in the location that I recommended for you...
I wish I could diagnose further for you...but you've so far not provided any real details about what happens...from merely things like "it doesn't work", there is just too little information from which to do any useful diagnosis. When you were still on Desktop Software 6, did you perhaps do any Advanced Logging? Sometimes, that can be useful...

Blackberry Bold 9650

I just got a new Blackberry. All I can say is I hate it. It doesnt work. I have had to reboot twice already, once because there was no sound on rings from calls or the alarm. Then you can only have the default search engine Bing, which is the worst search engine ever. Then it has a choice of only 5 or 6 ring tones instead of maybe 20 or more on my Tour. Then the device can't seem to connect to blackberry apps site. it keeps givnig me an error message.

I could not agree more. I purchased a Blackberry Bold 9650 in April and it was a mistake that has turned into a complete disaster!
The browser works some of the time and i do not know if the cause the Verizon 3G network of the device, but i suspect it is the device. I pretty much given up on using this device to surf. Every page opens very small so each page requires manual "zooming" and some pages get stuck in zoom mode where I have to quit the browser and start over.
I am not sure about Bing, but Opera was recommended to me, but even using Blackberry apps or Verizon apps, I cannot download the Opera browser. I suspect that either Blackberry may have something to do with the inability to download a competing product.
BTW, do not use google sync with this device. When I do the phone created duplicate contacts and appointments where now I have over 30,000 contacts (I started with 1,100) and dozens of appointments are duplicated hundreds of times in my calendar.
The screen is small and the keyboard is difficult to use.
I have to re-power the device at least once per day or it will lock up and Verizon tech support instructed by to pull the battery at least once a week to prevent lock ups.
At least the email functions work and the device is an email workhorse.
Now, I am stuck with a lousy product for 22 more months and I am a small business with limited resources. The Verizon sales guy in Redmond, WA told me that I could by an Android phone or a new iphone for about $800 and try to dump the Blackberry on ebay.
Do not purchase a Blackberry Bold. There are better choices than the bad choice I made.

Apploader.msi error, bold 9650

okay, I have a bold 9650 with the 6.0 os and it was running fine. The update came out. I installed it. Now, I cannot run the desktop manager it is constantly looking for apploader.msi. I have unistalled and reinstalled the OS for pc, running outlook 2007. I have removed everything with "blackberry or rim". help

This posting referred to another Bold 9650 listing. Reading it still might give you an idea. Think the example would start with 9650 instead of 9870.
I will assume for a moment that you have only one phone, e.g. the Bold 9780 smartphone and the driver
is not yet loaded but if it is go to the last paragraph near the bottom which starts with "Now it appears ".
I suggest first checking in ‘Add or Remove Programs’ accessed via the control panel whether you have
these 2 programs installed:
BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1
BlackBerry Device Software v6.0.0 for BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone
The important one is the Device software for the proper phone. You might want also find a listing of:
BlackBerry Device Software Updater
as well on this page. This software is not needed to communicate with your phone and is optional.
(I don’t know whether one has to install device software for each model of a phone which one connects
to the DTM. I noticed you have also a Bold 9650 and it might not like the Bold 9780 device driver and
vice
versa. I assume you need both drivers present when you have 2 different phones, see below).
You can find the device software here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Here is an example for the 9780 phone (above assumption).
find:North America, then select 'Bell Mobility Inc.' ( We assume for a moment you are withBell because
each service provider gets their own driver).
next page is called: 'Download for Bell Mobility Inc.'
Next select a phone, e.g. 9780
Next appears:
Software For BlackBerry® Bold™ 9780 smartphone
BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.2647 (All Languages)
Package Version: 6.0.0.2647
Consisting of:
Applications: 6.0.0.600
Software Platform: 6.6.0.223
File name: 9780AllLang_PBr6.0.0_rel2647_PL6.6.0.223_A6.0.0.600_Bell_Mobility_Inc.exe
File size: 188.21MB
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About
screen on the handheld.
Here is a second example for a Bold9780 phone if serviced by Rogers.
find:North America, then select ‘Rogers.' (We assume for a moment you are withRogers because
each service provider gets their own driver)
Next select a phone, e.g. 9780
Software For BlackBerry® Bold™ 9780 smartphone
BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.1879 (Multilanguage)
Package Version: 6.0.0.1879
Consisting of:
Applications: 6.0.0.448
Software Platform: 6.5.0.136
File name: 9780M_PBr6.0.0_rel1879_PL6.5.0.136_A6.0.0.448_Rogers_Wireless_Inc.exe
File size: 172.96MB
Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About
screen on the handheld / your Bold phone.
Now you might want to go back to:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
wait a bit till the page is populated and choose you particular need (you did not list in your profile the
phone company).
After you have the right device driver for Version 2647 hit download and store the handheld software
also known as the 'device driver' to a temporary location on your hard drive (remember it so you can go
there later).
When you get later an error it is not called ‘Device Application Loader Wizard’ but ‘Handheld Application
Loader Wizard’ (OK… semantic…. so we muggle users should not get the proper hint ...?..…that why
they call it a wizard...I guess...Potter wake up...).
Leave your DTM as is (no reinstall required), then install the new downloaded software on your
computer via double-clicking at the filename in the location where you stored your download. This
handheld software will later update the software on your BlackBerry Wireless Handheld, e.g. Bold9780
and is the ‘glue’ between the DTM and your phone.
If you get later a ‘Handheld Application Loader Wizard’ error message search for ‘Handheld’ on the BB
support page and find my posting there.
Now it appears you have an issue with the second phone, the Bold 9650. I guess you need an
additional entry for the second phone, i.e. have to install another driver for the Bold 9650 smart phone
and the line would then read after the installation in 'Add or Remove Programs':
BlackBerry Device Software v6.0.0 for BlackBerry Bold 9650 smartphone
I am sure the DTM can sort out which driver to select according to the USB connected phone model if
the drivers are present.
Since I am a muggle and write too much stuff (?) you wizards can have a LOL for free...

Syncing iBooks between my MBP and my iPhone

All the iBooks I have acquired have automatically sync'ed between my phone and my laptop. But recently I purchased a book from the New York Times (The Rise of Apple) and it seems to be stuck in the iBooks library on my MBP. This is something I thought I'd read on the go but it's not making itself available. I thingt perhaps it might have something to do with the format the book is rendered in but I can't find a way of deciphering that.
This set-up screen is displayed by Apple on its support site and shows a checkoff for 'books" in iTune preferences:
However, this is the screen I get in my iTunes preferences window under the Store tab:
There is no "books" option offered.
Any ideas on how I can get this book to display on my iPhone?

Nowadays you have to install the iBooks.app in your mac to manage any books you want to sync or add.

Cannot register Bold 9650 in China

I bought a new Bold 9650 in China and tried to register with China mobile but they don't support 96 and 97 series. What can I do now to get my email on my phone? Are there other providers in China that support BB services?

China Telecom supports that device model.

GPS Issues on Bold 9650

I've got the Bold 9650 on Verizon and have been having issues with any GPS related services over the past few weeks. I believe all of my settings are correct but every app that has the ability to use location not seem able to connect with the GPS. Google Maps will occasionally work but that's about it. BB Maps, Weatherbug, GoogleMobile app, Bing, etc, will not connect.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Check setting then try to access the application. Go into Options -> Advanced Options -> GPS, GPS Services can be changed to either "E911 Only" or "Location On".
Options->Advanced Options->GPS-> Location On & Enabled

Bold 9650 Calendar does not sync with PC after upgrading to OS 6

BB Model - Bold 9650
Carrier/country - Verizon / United States
Device OS level - 6.0.0.432
PC OS version - XP
RIM Desktop Software version - v6.0.1 B21
Outlook version - 2007
The symptoms - When syncing, events in Outlook transfer to device, but the events on my device are not being transferred to Outlook.
I do see that when I go in to my device calendar, then Options, my email addresses are listed as accounts, as well as the Default account. And, when I click on my primary email, it shows 233 entries in my calendar. How are my email adresses associated with the calendar?
I have gone in to the Set-Up App, clicked on my primary email address, then edit, then synchro options, and selected the Calendar. That did not help, so I tried uncheking the option and that did not help either.
If anyone has ideas it will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
dzmikly

Problem solved. I removed the desktop software and reinstalled. Seems to be working now, with minor gltches, but it's working.

Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this.
More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

Need to sync contacts from an old Desktop address book on Bold 9650

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes!
I have a user with a Bold 9650 that has two Desktop address books on their device:
- 1 from the old enterprise activation at a previous company that we saved and restored
- 1 from the current activation that is correctly syncing with Exchange
For the old one, they want to pull in about 800 contacts sitting there and get them syncing with Exchange.
Quesiton is how do I do this? I can't seem to back up the book and restore it over the current, and I can't otherwise seem to access it in a way to do this. I know there must be a way, so any hints would be great!
Desktop 6 is installed on their system, and I do have admin access to the BES Server, etc if need be.

Hard Reset the new Treo so it's completely erased. Perform a HotSync, and when Palm Desktop asks you to "Create a New Account, or use an Existing One?" choose "Existing" and pick the HotSync name of your old data.
