BB Curve 8500 :: Curve Will Not Sync With Yahoo Calendar
Jan 19, 2010
I have a new curve (8530) and my carrier is Verizon. My curve was syncing with my Yahoo calendar in December without any issues. Since January it no longer syncs. My memo pad syncs, but not the calendar. I do not have Outlook on my computer, so Yahoo is my only choice of calendar. I spoke to Verizon tech support for 2 hours and we tried everything. I uninstalled and reinstalled Desktop manager, but that didn't help either.

I am using the Blackberry Curve 9300 and I am also currently using the Yahoo Calendar and Google Calendar for separate uses. I find that I am not able to sync my Blackberry Curve 9300 to either of these Calendar.
On my computer, I am currently using Thunderbird and hope that I will be able to syn my calendar here as well.
I have recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8520.My problem is connecting to yahoo calendar/ task list/memo pad/ address book.Each time I try to synchronize I get back the message "connection to the yahoo server was lost".I am using the latest version of the yahoo and blackberry software. I am sure I am not the only user trying to sync PC and Blackberry information.
I downloaded the desktop manager, and am trying to sync my gmail on my laptop with my BB. When I try to set up the sync preferences, it gives me the options of outlook, yahoo, and ASCII importer. I use gmail, but not outlook. How do I sync these and the calendar as well?
I have the Curve 8520 and I use the In The Know theme with the bottom sliding dock. I uninstalled Facebook from my BB but for some reason only calendar appointments that have the "sent with Facebook" at the top show up on my theme's calendar home area.
I want facebook completely GONE from my black berry but there's no calendar option that lets me get rid of the "Facebook calendar" or at least change it so when I make a new appointment it defaults to starting with my email instead of stupid facebook.
I own a BB Curve 8520. Before having setup the BIS, I could synchronize all my Outlook stuff with the device (contacts, tasks, calendar, ...) via USB as well as Bluetooth. Since I have setup BIS, I can still synchronize my contacts with Outlook, but even when I configure the Calendar to be synched as well, nothing happens. No errors are shown in the log. Seems that the calendar sync is just skipped. Does anyone have an idea what could have gone wrong? I also already tried a soft reset of the device.
It used to work fine, but yahoo mail changed and they changed the calendar as well. The error that shows up is "Connection to Yahoo Server Failed". Everything from the last good sync is on the phone but nothing new since the yahoo "upgrade". Curve 8530, v5.0.0.1030, Sprint
I have Yahoo and GMail on my BB. With GMail I can use Google Sync to sync contacts, calendar etc automatically. Also with Google Sync, any replies you do on your BB are automatically updated in you Gmail.Now, the question is, is there something like that for Yahoo? I have searched and don't seem to have had any luck. The closest I can come to is actually looking at my Yahoo account on the browser, but that's not what I want.
Picking the lesser of two evils, I currently switched over from gCal to Yahoo Calendar. However, I have no clue how to get syncing between Yahoo <-> Mac <-> BB. I'm able to have iCal view & edit my Yahoo Calendar via CalDAV however, neither BB Desktop nor Missing Sync can read said calendars. Is there an OTA sync app for the BB? Else, is there an easy way to have a Yahoo Calendar sync with a local iCal calendar (as BB Desktop / Missing Sync can view those without issue)?
When my calendar reminder pops up it gives me the option to end the reminder or snooze for a preiod of 5 mins. This is far too short so I went to Calendar, Options, General Options and under Actions set the Default Reminder to 15 min and saved the change.When a reminder pops up the snooze time is still 5 minutes despite the change I made. Very annoying!What can be done to set the reminder time to anything other than 5 mins ? Have I changed the wrong field, or is this a bug?
I downloaded the new Yahoo calendar. Ever since then my Torch will not sync with the my calendar. My contacts still sync fine, but I will get an error message that says "connection to Yahoo server was lost" when I try to sync the calendar. Today I updated both my Blackberry Desktop Software (6.0.2.42) and my Torch software (6.0 bundle 2342), but that didn't help.
I have been able to sync my calendar entries between my BB 9800 Torch and my Yahoo calendar until recently. Both BB and Yahoo have been upgraded and now the sync no longer works. The BB Desktop Manager syncs my Contact List perfectly with Windows Contact list, then reads my BB Torch calendar, then stops syncing with the message " CONNECTION TO YAHOO SERVER WAS LOST". I have checked all my settings and reviewed other forum threads but cannot determine what is causing this problem.
Brand new Curve 8500 series. I d/led Desktop Manager 5.0.1 - English w/ media. I'm trying to set up to sync to Outlook (calendar, contacts, memos, tasks), but Outlook doesn't appear as an option to sync to for any of these. The only options are ASCII Import/Export and Yahoo. I have Outlook 2007, and my old BB Pearl had no problems sync'ing to this program. I thought maybe Outlook would show up under Add-In Modules, but it doesn't.
Is there a way for me to sync with a particular "set" of contacts in Gmail rather than have them all imported to my BB 8520? Some are work related and I don't want them all on my BB, just friends and family.
I have tried and tried, but can't get Media Sync to find my BB Curve.
Desktop Manager can find my BB - and it says it's working & connected, but when I launch Media Sync, after 3 mins of searching, it says "Please connect a BB device".
I have tried without launching DTM - i.e. launching Media Sync on its own. I have tried all variations of restarts, of both BB and laptop AND removing the battery at all sorts of stages in the process. No joy.
I don't see a drive on Windows Explorer with my BB however. I'm running Windows Vista, SP1.
1. Device model number: 8520 2. carrier or mobile provider: Virgin Mobile 3. OS release v 5.0.0.592
Extra history: 1) I downloaded Desktop Manager from the CD and then updated it automatically. 2) I then followed some detailed instructions from this forum elsewhere and totally removed every trace of it (including regedit entries). 3) I downloaded a clean copy of the latest DTM from BB website 4) I then updated the Curve OS software - now on version 5.01 (and yes, like everyone I prefered the old style of key locking!) 5) I also replaced the USB cable since that seemed to provoke a constant cycle of reboots on my BB - this was an earlier problem that a different cable fixed, but that's another story!
I have repeatedly downloaded media sync, and I cannot transfer pictures off of my girlfriend's 8530 curve? Anyone else experience this? If so, how did you get around it?Since all the documentation is for the PC, I'm thinking RIM is trying to pull a fast one on Mac users.
Anyone else having Yahoo sync issues on their device? It seems like the last week when I delete messages from my Yahoo account that change does not sync with my 8530. However messages send and receive on the device.
I have a new BB 9700. I have managed to get both of my e-mail addresses on it without any problem, I have also managed to sync it with my BT Yahoo contacts list but for the life of me I cannot get it to sync with my online BT Yahoo calendar which has 10 years worth of past and future entries on it. I am using BB Manager 5.01.28. BT won't offer any support because they say it is a Yahoo issue. There doesn't appear to be any Yahoo support and my provider Vodafone has been completly useless and has promised that one of its "advanced technical team" will phone me back on two occasion but never do. Can anyone help please. i'm beginning to wish I had stuck with my old Nokia 6310.
I see from reading through the posts here that the easiest way to synch contacts seems to be through Outlook. I don't have Outlook at home, but I do have it at work. My question is, if I set up a separate folder under "Contacts" in Outlook with, for example, "Blackberry Contacts," can I synch my BB with JUST that folder's contacts?
Synced my phone with my gmail account last night and after doing this all my contacts were lost.Im sure this is an easy fix but I am not familiar with the phone. I make sure that the filters were off so its not that.If I go into "options" and go into "contact lists" it has my email address and says that I have "89" entries.But the phone will not display any of my contact entries.
I am using windows 7.I cannot sync windows mail , contacts,calendar with my new BlackBerry 8520. Under available desktop applications None ASCII Importer/Exporter Yahoo!
I just got my Blackberry and I am having trouble with the Mass Storage.The Media Sync will not recognize the memory card at all. Win 7 does not recognize the card when I first plugged in my phone by USB cable the install driver fails. This failing has happened on 3 computer 2 win 7 and one XP.
I have done the normal things like battery pulls and deleting the driver and letting it reinstall reboots and reinstall programs. I also have the most current programs off the website.I also have tried putting the SD card in the slot on my laptop (3 different cards in an adapter) and none are able to transfer files without lagging into never never land.Everything else seems to work just fine. But I would like to be able to transfer photos and music and at this rate I can't transfer them at all.
When setting up the desktop software to sync with BB, a stage is reached asking for a source to be selected (Yahoo / Outlook / none / etc). As I am working with Outlook only, if I could I would select this for each, but it only appears as an option for 'Contacts'. For some reason Outlook is not offered as an option for either calendar or tasks. What is more odd is that I have successfully used the same BB and PC in the past with the Desktop software, but for some reason it just stopped working. I have tried removing and reinstalling both v5 and v6 without success. I suspect the problem might be the phone rather than the software - but heh, what do I know!
I am trying to sync my Yahoo calendar with my Blackberry Bold 9700 via the Blackberry Desktop Manager (version 5.0.1) and am getting the error message "Connection to Yahoo server was lost" when the calendar sync is occurring. The only option on the screen is to press "OK". Once "OK" is pressed, the Blackberry Desktop Manager returns to the synchronization screen. The address book syncs successfully, but the calendar does not. I have tried syncing one way and both ways without success.
A few notes about the environment: I am using the newer version of Yahoo Calendar which I have seen recommended on other postings. I am using standard Yahoo not the small biz version. I have seen this recommended, too.I am connecting my Blackberry Bold 9700 to my laptop via the USB cable that is supplied by Blackberry.
