Won't connect to the Mac version of Desktop Manager

I have a blackberry 8520 v 4.6.1.314 (platform 4.2.0.135). It used to connect to the desktop manager, but now it won't connect at all.
The desktop manager reads the cellphone type just fine (on the screen it reads the name (my name), the cellphone type, the PIN number, and how much space my media card has left) but if I click the icon on the upper-left side of the screen, it says that my cellphone is not connected. The back-Up, Restore, and Sync buttons are all greyed.
How do I fix this? It used to be just fine a couple of months ago, and I never changed anything on my blackberry. -- in short, it has the same condition as it was before, when everything was a OK.
PS: My Mac version of the Blackberry Desktop Manager is the newest version.

Did you try a hard reset? ( phone powered on / remove battery / replace 15 seconds later and wait for reboot)
Did this work?
If not, make sure you have mass storage mode enabled on your device:
To enable mass storage mode complete the following steps:
Connect your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer.
From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Media Card or Memory, or click Options > Advanced Options > Media Card(depending on which BlackBerry® Device Software version you are running).
Press the Menu key and change Mass Storage Mode Support to On.
To enable Mass Storage Mode automatically every time you connect, scroll down to Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode when Connected and change it to Yes. 
Press the Menu key and click on Save.
Enter your BlackBerry smartphone password and click Enter (if prompted).

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • I installed the latest version of iTunes on my Windows XP.  I can launch it but it won't connect to the store because it says I don't have a network connection but I do because I'm on the internet right now!  Help!

    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:

    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

  • I have just bought a Humax PVR and Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme. I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen is picking up my network name no problem but it won't connect to the internet. Can anyone help please?

    I have just bought a Humax 7500T PVR and a Humax W-Lan dongle to connect to my Airport Extreme.
    I have put the mac address into the AE. The installation screen on my TV is picking up the network name but once appied it won't connect to the internet.
    I've a few other things connected to the AE such as computers, ipad, itouch, etc, and have never had a problem connecting these once I've entered the mac address into the AE. Can anyone help me with this please?

    have you made sure that the network setting in the system preferences is set up to use dhcp? if not i would try changing it so that it shows that it is getting its address by dhcp

  • HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

    My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

    Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled.  If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

  • I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

    My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced."  Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
    One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures.  Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible.  My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

  • Mini Mac suddenly won't connect to the net.

    Hello,
    Didn't realise you guys existed until I was pointed in you direction so I'm hoping you might be able to help.
    I started this thread http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=71654 on another forum I use. It has all the details of my problem. If there is anything I should be doing it would be great If you could point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry for that, I've cut and pasted the different parts that I wrote.....
    I've been running a mini mac for nearly a year now and all's been well up until last friday. I use Tiscali's cheapo broadband package and that has been problem free until the mac suddenly decided that it can't connect last Friday.
    It's set up so that it automatically tells you when the adsl modem is connected. You can then check the modem and it is running fine. If I then try and open an internet page it's saying that the internet isn't conected. If I open internet connect and click for it to connect then it just say that it is idle and won't do anything different. When you look at the connection log it says that a pipe is broken?? and that's why it won't connect.
    If I look at the system information then it says that ethernet (en1) is enabeld but the cable isn't connected. Tried everything I can think of but it hasn't helped. Contacted apple but they want £35 to try and talk me through the problem. Tried Tiscali but all there suggestions have made no difference.
    I'm now using a six year old PC that's taken the best part of a week to get me online, I'm guessing the connection is OK as it's working on this PC but why isn't it working on the mac? Any advice will be genuinely appreciated
    Tried unplugging/ re attaching all the cables but it made no difference. I'm using the same modem and cables at the moment with this dodgy old PC so I'm guessing there isn't anything wrong with them.
    I do the repair permissions thing so but hasn't seemed to help.
    It's a Mini Mac running OS 10.3.9 ( I think ) I use Tiscali via a phone filter and then into a sagem modem (whatever they give you). The modem is connected to the mac via a usb cable.
    I've tried a different cable, and the modem is working Ok with this PC. So It's not Tiscali's end.
    I've jut spent the last hour messing around with the mac but it's making no difference. The Mac knows that the USB modem is connected but it won't connect to the net. I just tried to use tiscali's DNS number but I can't seem to sort it, I even tried pinging that number but nothing is coming back. It was set up to use ethernet adaptor (en1) and then you just clicked on a little icon in the top bar and it would connect to the net.
    Is there any way to wipe all the settings and try to get it going from scratch. Would it work if I bought a router and plugged it straight into the mac without a modem? There is a firewire connection on the back.
    If I look back it says something about a broken pipe. On the network set up screen it says that the cable isn't connected to (en1), so I'm guessing that may be why it not getting in contact with the net?
    I've now had suggestions to ditch the modem and buy a router?? Is there anything I should looking for in particular?
    Thanks again.

  • My Mac won't connect to the wireless internet

    My MacBook won't connect to the internet. Yet my phone and iPad will. I have tried turing the laptop on and off. Shutting the airport on and off and turning the Bluetooth on and off. And it still won't connect.

    Thanks for that.  Would this affect App store and iTunes though? Neither of them are working.

  • My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

    My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

    Welcome Cheirhandrea!
    There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
    So we need to know:
    1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
    2) The make and model of the keyboard.
    I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?

    Hello Rattisate,
    Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.  You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
