Tried to update device software, now can't connect to device via USB

I tried to update my 8100 to the 4.5 software.  I first updated the desktop software to 4.7, then tried to update the device, but the process failed.
Now, when I open desktop manager it shows as not connected to the device.  I can go into the device mamager properties and select the balckberry, but when I return to the destop amanger it says no device.
It appears that whatever I do it does not recognise the usb device.
The display on the 8100 is only text, no graphics or phone company info, and it is basically inoperable.
There are options on the display for some applications, but if I choose them, it says app not found.
Is there a way to force an update to it?  Or have I poohed this phone?
Thanks in advance
edit:
I have pulled the battery on the unit to reboot it, and have tried going back to an older revision of desktop manager

Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Unplug the BB from the USB and PC. Reboot the PC completely from off.
2. For the BB, you might not have loaded back the Theme that was in use on the device when you upgraded, which will normally give you a black/white screen. You need to follow the instructions below.
You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:

If JL_Cmder does not work, follow this instructional:

  • Can't connect to printer via usb print server

    So I've tried to connect to an EPSON stylus printer from my iMac via a print server with no success.
    Here's some info to help focus the questions/help:
    iMac running Mavericks, Epson SP R200 printer, Belkin Play router, Toshiba Satellite laptop, Level1 USB print server
    Win8.1 laptop prints via print server just fineso IP, port, firewall issues on router/print server side are ruled out.
    I have the fire wall off on the iMac
    I've quadruple checked IP and subnet numbers of iMac to rest of network, and they all jive.
    I can pull up the config page of the print server via Safari on the iMacso connectivity is there
    I previously had the printer attached directly to the iMac, and successfully printed.
    I've tried to add the printer via IP > LPD method AND Advanced > Windows printer via spoolss
    I can get as far as adding the printer, but as soon as I attempt to print a test page the printer has a "filter" error, or some "color" error, the job just goes into nothingness, or the job just sits there and the que is paused.
    This is very frustrating to put it nicely.
    -Vince

    What driver are you using? - Don't know if you remember, but you had to be using Gutenprint, because Epson's driver for USB-only printers, only works via USB.

  • TS3694 when a 1015 code pops up and you are trying to update your software what can you do?

    when a 1015 code pops up and you are trying toupdate your software on your 3G iphone how can you go about fixing that?

    Check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 for explanation for error codes. This explains the 1015 error code
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    The iPhone 3 does not support newer iOS, and there is no iPhone 3G as you list in your profile. If you are referring to the iPhone 3GS, it will support iOS 6, but if you tried to put something else in there, this explains your problem.

  • Advice please! Installed Leopard update...now can't connect to certain site

    Hi and thanks in advance for any help.
    I updated Leopard (10.5.3) and Safari (3.1.1) with the apple patch a couple of days ago. After install, my MBP wouldn't connect to certain sites like Google or Yahoo. This happens for Safari, Firefox, and IE. Today, Google works but not GMAIL. The other sites remain inaccessible; I get the message "can't open page _ because it can't find the server _"
    After the install and restart, I didn't change anything.
    There are no firewalls in place.
    I tried using openDNS and configuring the IP addresses.
    Rebooted the MBP and the Router and AirPort Extreme.
    Moved the System Config folder to the desktop and starting the browsers.
    Also, my Mail can't access my GMail account.
    Nothing has worked and I'm near my wits end.
    I have a PC desktop that connects fine to everything so I don't think it's my ISP or the router.
    I'm hoping for some help here in lieu of subjecting myself to phone **** or driving all the way to the Apple store.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Seems like you covered most bases.
    Rebooted the MBP and the Router and AirPort Extreme
    If you didn't do so, unplug the router and AE. Wait about a minute, then plug-in again. Try Safari or another browser again. If no go I suggest reapplying the 10.5.3 Combo Update. Do not use the computer during the Install. Also, plug in the laptop.
    When complete, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

    Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
    At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
    The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
    Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?

    You can't do anything. You have encountered the activation lock. Unless you have some sort of contact with the previous owner you have bought a very expensive paper weight.
    You can find out more about activation lock from Apple's site here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

    I have just tried to update the software on my iPad and it is now asking me to connect to iTunes. The last time I did this it did not tell me to do this. I'm currently travelling and do not have my MacBook with my iTunes.Can it be resolved without iTunes

    I hope that you can see this response. The forum software is acting quite bizarre today.
    You really do want to restore with your own computer. There is an off chance that you might be able to backup first, but I really think it is a very slight chance now since you got the connect to iTunes screen. But on the chance that when you connect, it sees the iPad and allows a backup, I would to not have you wait to use your own Mac.
    If you cannot create a backup, you will lose everything that you have put on since the date to the last backup. So of your last backup was three weeks ago, you will restore the iPad to the condition that it was in three weeks ago.
    If you do a lot of traveling, using iCloud for backups might be a very good idea. I use iTunes primarily and I backup my MacBook Pro with Time Capsule, but I still use iCloud as a secondary backup. I don't have enough data that I have exceeded the free 5 GB that you get with iCloud, so I do use it just in case.
    I can't explain what happened with the update, I can only tell you that it does happen to other users. I have never had a problem when I updated and I having been updating over WiFi since iOS 5 came out. Taking a guess, maybe an interruption in the connection - especially of you tried updating using a hotel's WiFi network, or a power surge maybe. Whatever the cause, it is most likely a one time thing. That doesn't help your situation I know, but hopefully it won't happen again.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    This is what worked:
    "In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
    At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
    It fixed my problem.
