Desktop manager download and rearranging files for Pearl 8100

I have a Pearl 8100 and lost my desktop manager CD and need to load it on to my new laptop. Where can I download this? I have tried a search here at this website, but I can't seem to narrow down what I need specifically.
Also, I was wondering if it were possible to move files around, specifically, from within a folder to the desktop. For example, Brickbreaker and Messenger.
Thank you - beth

Help: Calendar entries disappear on Pearl 8100

I have a BB Pearl 8100 and have the problem that calendar entries disappear from the device. Entries as recent as those from the previous week all of a sudden disappear. I have re-synchronized several times (I use Outlook 2003 for calendar and contacts), and the entries stay in the device for a few days but after a week or so, all past appointments, except the recurring ones, just disappear. I don't have a problem with contacts, and I don't synchronize emails, so the issue is only Calendar.
I have the Options set in my device to keep appointment forever, so that does not seem to be the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Metroberry:
I don't have ringtones, music or videos in the BB. However, I have 30,600 bytes "File Free", out of 64mm "File Total". I guess this would qualify as very little memory left. Doesn't make sense though, since the only things I have in the device are my contacts and the calendar. What could be using up the memory?
Thanks for your help.

Blackberry Pearl 8100 OS and application update

I just got my Blackberry Pearl 8100 and it has OS v4.2.0.71...I need/would like to have Microsoft To Go, so i can view my work files(excel, word), also would like to view videos(possibly different file formats) that i download, music(mp3's, etc), pics and things like that...where do i start with all of this because i have no idea what to do or how to do it...

Was tring to upgrade the Pearl 8100 OS from 4.2 to 4.5 today.

Tried battery pull etc.... The Device manager does not recognise this 8100 Pearl any more.....Any ideas???
I think that your device has lost its OS.
But I am confused : are you sure the "Device Manager" does not recognize the 8100 ? Are you not referring to the "Desktop Manager" ?
Anyway, if the battery pull did not fix the issue, I think you will have to rely on another software than the Desktop Manager to load an OS on your device again.

No browser icon on Pearl 8100

Hiya... I am in a world of pain...
Sorry - quite a bit of background on this...
In 2009 my husband bought me a brand new Blackberry Pearl 8100 from the internet (he can't remember exactly where from). I put my existing O2 sim in it, expecting to be able to access the internet/emails, but neither were available to me. A quick call to O2 cleared that one up - my sim was Pay & Go and at that time, O2 were not doing Blackberry web & email on Pay & Go. I used it as a phone for a bit, got peeved (wanted internet and emails!) and bought a Samsung Tocco lite which I have been using up until last week when I found out that, since last July, O2 were now doing Blackberry internet on Pay & Go.
So, I excitedly purchase a bolt on from O2, shove my sim in my lovely Blackberry Pearl, get excited when I see the new icons for Facebook and Google etc... and then I realise that there is no browser option. No globe icon, nothing. The only way I can see a browser icon is if I press the menu key and select 'Switch Application'. The 'phone then says 'requesting', then offers me an option to sign up for Yahoo Messenger. If I hit the 'back' button, the screen goes blank. If I accept 'download', I get: 'Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Yahoo'.
I have set up my emails and they work fine. If I click on links in emails, I just get a blank screen.
I have spoken to O2 who have said that 'everything is fine their end' and there is no reason why I can't find a browser icon. They told me to check out the latest Blackberry download so my 'phone is updated. So, I have installed what I believe to be the latest version but that has had no effect whatsoever.
A battery pull (well, about a hundred of them actually..) has also had no effect).
I am close to throwing the flaming thing up the wall. Please help me save my beautiful little 'phone from such a cruel fate... any ideas?
(OS release: v4.2.193)

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you could investigate further updating your BB OS...here is a process to do that:
From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Can't Import Outlook Express address book to Pearl 8100

A friend just gave me an AT&T BB Pearl 8100 and I am using it as a phone only with no data plan (it's a company cell phone but they won't pay for a data plan -- I just put my SIM card in the BB). I am trying to connect to my personal PC with the USB cable and import my OE address book. I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, and when I try to synch it a window flashes that says "Synchronization Progress - Processing" for about one second, then that disappears and my phone doesn't get updated. Can someone help me? I searched for this problem prior to posting but can't find this situation. I dread having to type them one by one -- any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Mike

Pearl 8100 Media Manager wont play music

I downloaded some songs I had on my computer to my Blackberry Pearl 8100. The songs are there, I can get to the screen where you
could hit play or pause, but they won't play. Any ideas?

perhaps these music files are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management System)

Pearl 8100 Media Manager

BB Pearl 8100 Media Manager won't play song on my laptop. Unless on the song list, right click and down a list. I can play only with Edit Audio Tags.
Beginning when I click on the the Desktop Manager Icon, window pop up with Disconnected - Blackberry Desktop Manager.
I intalls the software from CD three times and the problem is still there.

perhaps these music files are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management System)

Resetting my blackberry pearl 8100

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to reset my blackberry pearl 8100 or how to get my factory settings back to the way it was when I first got the phone.
Thank you!

dude iam no tec but i know when "RESETTING A Coumputer" or "Reformating a Computer" you will need the BASE PROGRAMS ariganaly on the system because its all gone after resetting. srry Bro but you will need the programs that run the vid and pic files that were on the blackberry, i think u will have to buy them back because your not a tec resetting a product. Srry again. and the only reson i posted on your thread was because, i typed "resetting my Blackberry pearl" and yours came up and read yours and i felt bad that you got screwd and felt that you and the tecs need to here what my phone has done. so dont feel bad just say screw them and get a new phone cuz they really didnt tell you enuff info about RESETTING a smart phone witch is really just a hand size computer. and if you have ever reformated a computer you would have known this, or my not have reolized its was a computer and not a phone cuz they realy didnt say, they just called it a "smart phone" more like DUMB phone to me but hey what ever, tecnology is only as good as the programer and as you can see he or them was not very smart with this one.
SO i say again srry Bro, Be you a woman or a man, your still my bro in this one. we both got screwed having to pay that kinda scratch for somthing we had to work on when all we wanted was somthing that works!

Trouble installing a new OS on BB Pearl 8100

Hi there -
I have a BB Pearl 8100. It is unlocked, but loaded with T-Mobile OS (according to Options/About it's: v4.2.0.64, platform 2.2.0.37).
I am using with an ATT/Cingular SIM card for phone calls - for the most part this is successful but occassionally I will get a rash of "call failed" errors upon trying to make calls. Often turning the phone on and off will solve but not a permanent solution.
So I'm trying to load the appropriate AT&T OS on the device. I am following all instructions that I have seen posted on many different sites, including Blackberry.
In short, I am:
1) Downloading and Installing the right ATT OS for a Pearl 8100 from the BB website.
2) Open BB Desktop Manager
3) Connect BB Pearl to computer (via USB).
All of this seems to be working as designed.
However - the directions say that DTM should either prompt me to "Update Now" (assuming the Application Updates Available window appears) - or I should open Application Loader and launch the wizard process. I have to do the latter because it does not prompt me for auto Updating.
Once I do the latter, it does not detect that I have the newly installed OS waiting to be installed onto the BB Pearl. It detects a few applications that are already installed on the Pearl, but no new OS.
I'm very confused!!
I have tried this process with Desktop Manager 4.6 and 4.2 with SP, thinking maybe it had something to do with version of Desktop Manager, but same results.
What am I missing????
Thanks
Brad

Hello,
You can use any OS package on your BB as long as it is one that is exactly for your model number BB. This process is the best I know for installing (upgrade, downgrade, reload) an OS onto a BB:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
If you choose an OS package from a carrier that is different from your BB's original carrier, then insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML.
Good luck!

How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. I had just finalized a project, went to work on another one and files couldn't be found, were not deleted how do I find them?

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. The other day I had just finalized a project and went to work on another one and when I opened the project I could see what should have been there, but scrolling over the entire clip I would only see black and that the file was missing. I did not drag anything on the hard drive to the trash or move anything. How can I get those files? These are videos of my kids and I am devastated and willing to try anything!

Control click does not work - no option to find files. I have no idea what to do. When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files. I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it.

Are you using a BT Home Hub with the IP Phone attached. This holds onto the SIP port that iChat uses. There is no way to get the router to release this port.
I had to return it all to BT as unfit for purpose and switched to Eclipse!

Unable to Sync Video files after Itunes 9.0.3 and iPhone software update

This is my problem with Itunes- After I the Software Update program installed iTunes 9.0.3 yesterday, and I upgraded the iPhone software (to 3.1.3.) shortly thereafter. The iPhone upgrade failed (it froze). When I restarted the computer, I had to restore the iPhone and then I synced. I could not sync my video files.
The apps, music and "push" items sync perfectly. However, it ignores the Movies, Podcasts and iTunes U files.
In terms of the location for these files, all of my Library and Media files are contained in a firewire external drive. They have been there since I started up with iTunes many years ago. All worked well before the Install/Upgrade.
Problem is- iTunes ignores the pointer in Preferences/Advanced/Location and creates an empty folder, named iTunes in the Music library (in my Home directory) at every sync (even if I delete it, it recreates it on the new sync).
Question-Why does iTunes ignore the pointer, and create a new empty folder in Home?
Thanks for your help.

Apparently Apple doesn't bother to test their software updates. This problem was introduced last September and has persisted through a number of updates that were supposed to address the bug. Very discouraging. I keeping holding out hope that an iTunes update will eventually fix this feature that worked fine for years before iTunes 9 was introduced.
Unfortunately, it is impractical to go back to an earlier version of iTunes.
I have reported this bugs several times (via iTunes feedback). If Apple actually reads the feedback, they never respond.
It's not like there are other vendors or unknowns involved: current iMac 24, new iPod Touch, the latest version of iTunes and iPod OS.
So what do we have to do to get Apple's attention? Stop buying music? Stop buying Apple devices? I'd love to buy the new iPad, but I'm darned if I will if they are unable or unwilling to fix this bug...
