Trying to download Desk-Top Software

I recently bought my 8100 off of ebay. It works fine but i would like to get the desktop software for it. The phone didnt come with a disk and im not sure what software to download in the section on the Blackberry site. My phone says i have v4.2.0.73 (platform 2.2.041) does anyone know what i should download? Ive heard sories of people bricking their phone by using the wrong software, i dont want to take this chance. any help you guys can give me had be great. thanks

My recommendation would be to download Download Desktop Software 4.5 or 4.2 SP2. Use the below link Desktop Manager for downloading.

How do I find Desk top software from July 2012?

Hi, I have the tour 9630 that crashed and I lost all contacts. I had a back up from July 2012. I updated my desktop software and tried to restore my back-up. The updated desk top software did not recognize my old backup file. I need the software that was available a year ago. Any suggestions where to find it? Thanks for your help.

Do you recall if it was Desktop Software v6?

Desk top software 6.1.18 - encountered problem and needs to close

I've been successfully running Desk Top Software on my PC with Windows XP since August, 2010 (don't know the version, but it was current then). I recently up-dated following a prompt that a new version was available and installed 6.1.18. Now when I try to open it I get a Windows " Blackberry Desktop Software has encountered and problem and needs to close" error message. I have re-started the computer, removed and re-installed the software, but no solution. Help!!

Ok, good news (and thanks for your help). I am up and running with a working sync for the first time since (mistakenly) upgrading to the latest version of 6 [I had been using an earlier version of 6 before the upgrade]. I have re-installed 5.0.1 and am using drivers v6.
After the reinstall the desktop manager at first could not recognize my blackberry. I had to go to device manager and rather than simply doing an automatic driver refresh, I had to choose the option to pick the driver from a list. Once I did that my blackberry was recognized by the desktop manager, I was able to configure the sync options and it worked like a charm.
I will not be upgrading until this version of sync literally stops working due to incompatibility with some future software versions!
Short recap of what I think will work:
1. Uninstall DM 6.x. A normal uninstall should work (although admittedly I did at least two clean uninstalls and reinstallation of DM 6.x before my final uninstall, so if this process doesn't work the first
time for you then consider a clean uninstall).
2. Install Desktop Manager 5.0.1.
3. Install the drivers (I used the current versions, 6.x).
4. If DM doesn't recognize your device, then go to device manager, under hardware find your blackberry, update its driver and if the automatic update doesn't work then choose the option to pick your driver from the list.
You should then be up and running with only the normal configuration issues remaining.
Good luck!

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

HT4623 trying to download ios 6 software update to my iphone 4s. While it is downloading it suddenly pauses and knocks me out of my wi-fi network. I then can't access the network in order to continue the download.

I have a iphone 4s.
I was trying to download ios 6 software update.
Put in a wifi network and plugged in before starting download.
Soon after I hit download it paused and said to choose wifi network before continuing.
It had knocked out my wifi connection.
When I turn the wifi back on and ask it to choose a network it can't find it anymore.
Meanwhile I can't get it to continue to download the ios 6 update.

Instead of trying to update OTA connect your phone to your computer with USB abd have the latest itunes open and do it that way. If it says you are not connected click cancel and see if the download continues. iOS 6.1.3 is now the latest so that is what you will be updating to

Like a fool I tried to download the new software for my 3GS. Now oI can't get the dam thing activated. I'm in Portugal but my phone originates from the UK.

I actually interpreted this as a carrier lock issue. If that is the case the OP needs to contact the UK carrier who owns the rights to lock the iPhone. Only that carrier can unlock it.
Was the iPhone unlocked by means of jailbreak software? If that is the case, then the reply from Phil McCafrey would apply to this as well.

You've tried a registry cleaner as well? If so, I would contact your carrier for further assistance. If they are unable to help you themselves, they should be able to forward you on to BlackBerry support for further assistance.

From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled. You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

I am getting an error when trying to download new iTunes software to new Windows 7 computer.

I am getting an error when trying to download iTunes to a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 7. Says... An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="86". HRESULT:0x80070BC9
Please help if anyone knows how to fix or bypass this problem.

These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and errors while trying to download Windows support software

I am using BootCamp Assistant 4.0.1 and I keep getting errors while trying to download the Windows support software. I keep getting errors that says the software is not on the server or that there was just an error saving and it stops. Any help please!! I am using a MacBook pro with the new Lion OS

I finally got it to work correctly. I re-formatted the external hard drive and everything worked fine.

Boot Camp Assistant stops at 50 % when trying to download Windows support software. Help! : (

Hello.
I am just trying to install Windows on my late 2011 Macbook Pro. I clicked "Finder" -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant and started downloading Windows support software. Problem is that it is stuck at 50 %. Is this a known problem? How do I solve it? Do I just have to be patient? Is there another way around?
Also, do I need an actual CD to burn or can I use an external hard drive?
I appreciate any help I can get : ) I don't know much about boot camp.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try downloading the Windows support software from the Support site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Apple only supports now the external drive as the method to install the Windows support software, but if you download it from Apple Support, you can decompress the file downloaded, right-click the folder with the drivers and burn them into a CD/DVD

Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.
