I have just got a Blackberry 9900. and have a problem sycronising the contacts on my phone with the my contacts on my PC Outlook 2003 contacts . When I try to Syncronising I get an Error message.... line 131 in.\Error.cpp
Is there a fix for this problem????

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB32032 Recurring appointments of a specific pattern cause the sync to fail with an error message in BlackBerry Desktop Software
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Good luck and let us know!

Error synching Windows 7 Contacts with Desktop Manager

Hi
I'm new here and would appreciate any help you can give.
I''m having trouble synching the email addresses in my Windows Contacts file with my Blackberry. Not all email addresses synchronise properly, which is probably because they are sourced from several different databases previously. There doesn't seem to be a way to map the fields accurately as the Windows 7 contacts folder shows the field as "E-mail Address" and the Desktop Manager shows the field being imported from Windows as "Preferred Address". This mapping only transfers those addresses which were previously exported from a BB/Lotus Notes database.
I've tried exporting to csv's and changing the field names as well as importing through Outlook 2010 rather than WIndows but with no success.
Has anybody else had this problem and found a solution?
Any advice or suggestions welcomed.

Hi all..
I am having the same problem with desktop software 6, but my problem is more like this..
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19300
The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.
I think that I am gonna reply here instead of making new thread about windows installer 4.5 and Desktop Software 6, please move if I did wrong.
PS. Bifocals..
The link you provided is missing. Or it just back to BlackBerry Technical Solution Center page and I tried searching the KB13781 with no success.
Please if there is other link that may be good for my problem.
Thank you very much.
Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.
Thanks.

Can I use Bluetooth to sync Blackberrry Bold diary and contacts with Desktop Manager (versions 6 or 7)?

I have successfully set up a Bluetooth connection with my PC. Can anyone tell me it is possible with either (or both) versions of the Desktop Manager software? (i.e. update all info without need for a cable connection using a Blackberry Bold 9900)
Many thanks!

Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
Enjoy the new OS.

First sync with desktop manager for mac: only 300 contacts synced instead of the 1100

I have a Curve 8310. version 4
I have a brand new mac with NO CONTACTS or calendar.
I have preciously very successfully synced with my windows computer for 2 years.
I have just tried for the first time to sync with desktop manager,.only 315 contacts synced of the 1100.
The apple people recommend using Mark/Space" missing Sync" but I am reluctant to do this as the reviews are mixed.
Help?

Hi there.
Have been using my BB Pearl 8100 on and off since Oct 08.
I have successfully synced with a Vaio (XP Pro) using BBDM (up to version 4.6) as well as iMac OS 10.5.8 using PocketMac for BB v4.1 and now BBDM for Mac. Have synced with iCal, Mail, Contacts (albeit 647)
PocketMac can be a little temperamental, but not that much of a prob as when i downloaded it was free (shareware) and the only alternative was Missing Sync.

THERE IS NO OPTION FOR VISTA
I have read many suggestions on this message community which basically say try a different version. THAT DOESN'T WORK. Is there anything else anyone has tried that works with Windows Vista?

Desktop Manager does not recognize any bluetooth drivers (stacks) other than the basic Windows Bluetooth Stack. If you have another bluetooth stack in use, you'll need to remove it and let Windows install the basic bluetooth stack. The downside of this is that you loose some of the advanced features that your current bluetooth stack gives...extra speed, etc. However, that's the only way to make bluetooth work with Desktop manager.

Sync Error "An error has occurred please try again" with Contacts using Desktop Manager

Hello,
I've been trying to fix my Boss's sync issue for sometime. I hope some one can help.
He has a BB Curve
He uses Microsoft Entourage 2008 sync'd with Mac's Address Book
His desktop manager is up to date
When syncing contacts he gets "An error has occurred please try again"
I went under advanced settings and click replace everything on blackberry device. That worked and his phone is now up to date with his address book however if you don't click "Replace.." the error still occurs.
He fusterated because he wants to be able to sync back and forth not just from his computer to his phone. I hope this all makes sense and someone can help.
Thank you

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.
Lance

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?)!!

Runtime Error with Desktop Manager Sync

When configuring the syncing options for my Blackberry 8800 World Edition in Desktop Manager 5.0 on Vista Business, I encounter the error "A session of that type has not been started." This occurs when attempting to configure any of the sync applications with MS Outlook 2007. I really need to be able to sync my Blackberry with my computer, as my contact list changes from both directions. Thank you very much, I hope someone has an answer!

Outlook 2003 won't sync with Desktop Manager 5.0

I've just purchased a Blackberry 8900 and have installed Desktop Manager 5.0 on my PC. I can't get my BB to sync with Outlook 2003. When I try to configure the Synchronization settings, I select the Device application and click on Calendar. It then asks which applicaton I want to sync with and I select Microsoft Outlook. Next I'm selecting two way sync (although I've tried both of the one ways syncs as well and I receive the same message). I then click on transfer only future items. Then I get a Runtime Error: Option's value is unacceptable. Please check option properties. I've tried uninstalling Desktop Manager and reinstalling it---both from the CD that was provided and also from the BB website. Any ideas on what I can do to get the sync to work?

Can anyone help me understand what this problem is with Desktop Manager that I am having???

Hi everyone! I have downloaded the Desktop Manager Software on to my desktop. I've clicked on the "media" option in the main menu.
I am brought to a screen that has 2 options. "Media Manager" and " Blackberry Media Sync".
Now, I want to download themes and wallpaper, but in order to do that, I need to select "Media Manager" correct? ... Unfortunately this option is not available. I have my blackberry on, and is connected to the USB port. I am able to click "start" on the "Blackberry Media Sync" option, but not on Media Manager. If anyone could help me out, this would be greatly appreciated. I am going absolutely insane trying to figure this out! Thx for your help!!!!
Much appreciated

It seems clear to me that if you unplug your AirPort Extreme and those Wi-Fi networks still appear, they are not being created by your Extreme but by someone else's router. They won't be useful to you.
To eliminate confusion, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button. In the "Preferred Networks" list, select each Network Name and click the "–" (minus) button. Check the box "Remember networks this computer has joined". Click OK, then Apply.
Then select your PalmSprings network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu. Ignore any others that may appear there.
If you still have funky problems, try renaming your AirPort Extreme's network to something other than PalmSprings. Use "Palm Springs" (including the space character - spaces are OK) or something else. Other networks with similar or identical names will just confuse things.
Use a non-trivial WPA/WPA2 password for your Wi-Fi network. Give your Extreme base station a non-trivial password as well. These ought to be different from one another, but are not required to be. Doing so will preclude any concern about your network being "hacked".

Problem Synching Outlook 2003 Calendar with Desktop Manager 5.0

Hi there,
I just downloaded the new BB desktop manager software 5.0 (I was reluctant to do so for weeks because I didn't want to start encountering problems, which I now have, of course). Suddenly my Outlook Calendar (2003) is not synching at all with the device, despite my software being configured to do so. All other items synch perfectly well--address book, tasks and memos--but the Address Book synching doesn't even begin, so it's not like I'm getting error messages.
Do I need to go back to the Desktop Manager 4.7--and if so, can someone walk me through uninstalling 5.0 and reinstalling 4.7--or is there a workaround? Trying to avoid spending hours on the phone with Verizon who will just wind up passing me over to BB support!
Thanks!

I have version 4.7.0.25 running on Vista. When synchronising it reads the calender etc on the device OK but as soon as it reads the desktop calender it freezes with message 'Desktop Manager Stopped Working'.
I have reloaded the software several times
Any suggestions

Hey Oscarfabricant,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
What version of Windows are you using? Is it 64-bit?
Also for the uninstall I would suggest performing all the steps in this article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
Then download Desktop Software from www.blackberry.com/desktop and install it. Restart and then to run the application.

Where is the desktop redirector with Desktop Manager 6?

A client of ours had upgraded his version of Desktop manager to 6 from 5.something.
There is no more link for the Redirector under START - PROGRAMS - BLACKBERRY
The icon for the redirector still shows up in his start menu, however, it says that it's not started.
Where can I find the software with the new desktop manager? I've tried reinstalling the desktop manager already but still cannot find it, nor were there any options during the installation to include it.

I've looked for this and cannot find it either. I want to be able to hide the Blackberry bar at the bottom of the screen when I minimized the software.
