BB Storm 9500 :: Where Is The Calendar On The Desktop
Mar 21, 2010
I have used smartphones since the Civil War, and usually when there is a desktop to sync to, there is a calendar on the desktop. The only icons on the BB desktop are Media, Application Loader, Backup and Restore, Device Switch Wizard, Synchronize and IP Modem. Seems sort of unnecessarily idiosyncratic, but what do I know? I can't find anything on the BB site, where they evidently think email is the most important issue. Probably for some.

I am needing to upgrade to the OS v.5 but my Storm is not connecting to Desktop Manager. I can see that it's connected to my laptop by checking under My Computer. I've repeatedly done a hard reset for my Storm and also uninstalled/reinstalled the Desktop software, restarted my laptop. I also disabled Norton and Windows Firewall. Neither worked. I also decided to do a "wipe handheld" which SORTA worked but doesn't work. Desktop Manager recognizes the Storm connection but still remains disconnected and the phone continues to flash the screen "Connecting to desktop" and goes away. The last time my Storm was able to connect to the Desktop software was in August of 2009 when I was able to backup my data. Now, not only can I upgrade my OS, I can't restore my data because for some reason the phone and Desktop manager will not maintain a connection. I'm beyond frustrated at this point.
After downloading BlackBerry App World to my Storm, I got a notice that the downlaod had been successful, but I cannot find App World on my phone. There's no desktop icon, nothing in Applications, nothing. What am I missing?
I have a Storm 2...My carrier is Verizon.I work on a PC..I put most of my calendar items first on the device.I would like to put calendar items on both device and outlook to have them sync.I have reconfigured synchronization on Desktop Manager a bunch of times.I am not able to migrate existing calendar items on my device to outlook on my desktop.I also have a problem with double items appearing on my device from time to time.
I have a 9500. Just gave up a Treo 650. I found the palm funtion of viewing the contents of treo applications on the treo desktop (on my pc) very useful. Can I do the same with the BlackBerry desktop on my computer.
I am no longer using my Storm (or any other BB) but I may go back to it or to a new BB later, so I don't want to delete DM but I would like to set it so that it does not start up when my computer boots. I was able to achieve this on another laptop with Vista, but i cannot find a way on XP.
I have Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.7 installed and I can successfully connect the Blackberry Storm 9500. However, after I select Application Loader, I get the dialog message "Search for available device software" and then it just hangs. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and does not work. I want to install a J2ME application on the Blackberry.
Recently I changed jobs and as a result I used crackutil to remove my old companies (BES) IT policy from my BB.The new company activated via wireless activation (BES) and now I have 2 "desktop" contact lists. I am trying to sync with lotuc notes but cant as only the 2nd desktop list will sync. my original contacts are in the other desktop list and will not sync. I have tried going to contacts > options> typing rset and it deletes the lists but i cant get them to load from back up into one list.

My storm connected GREAT to the desktop manager with my old work computer. synched all my contacts and appointments from Outlook which is all I wanted it to do. Work gets me a new computer. 64 bit, dual processor, a million gigs of RAM. I download and install newest Desktop Manager from Blackberry site. start it up. I get this little window: "Before you begin verify that your current Blackberry device is connected" So I connect the Storm via a USB cable. As I wait, Windows 7 does it's thing, installs whatever it thinks it needs, and then asks what I want to do. Meanwhile Desktop Manager (DM) does not see the Storm.....
I downloaded crack utility and desktop manager 4.6 , 4.7, etc. nothing works. My computer will not recognize my phone and it seams I have tried everything. My OS is 4.7.0.148 and its unlocked and now with TMobile. Desktop manager wont recognizing phone.
Your carrier: VIP Croatia OS: WinXP SP3 x86 Office 2010 (Outlook 2010) Did a battery pull fix your issue? No (if you think of disable USB power) BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device):

What to do? How to get basic enterpise option to synchro outlook contact ONLY!!!!!????
Please help this is imposible to be in such a brand with so much problems and no explanation at all.
I am having a problem with appointments in my calendar older than 30 days or so deleting themselves. I have checked the Calendar settings and I have checked "Keep Appointments Forever".
I have Blackberry Storm 9530, and have been having major trouble with my calendar.It started as a duplication problem. I have an Outlook email account & a yahoo email account, and somehow, I ended up with one calendar for each of those PLUS a facebook calendar.
When I would synch my outlook calendar (which is the only calendar I use), my appointments would show up on EACH of those calendars, so it looked like I had 3 appointments for every one!
Then, before I had time to figure that out, I started getting a synching problem - I'd get an error message every time I tried to synch my MS Outlook calendar to my BB. I did some searching on this forum for answers, and tried a few things (like synching only one way or the other way, checking for weird characters, etc) - but nothing helped.
THEN, before I had time to figure that one out, suddenly all my appointments on my device have disappeared! I have tried manually entering an appointment into the device itself, and it won't show up. However, if I try to do it a second time (setting an appointment for that same time period) the interface will say I have a conflicting appointment.
After I saw this, I changed my desktop application so that it would only synch FROM the outlook calendar TO the device and it appeared to synch fine (with no error message), but still nothing at all appears on the calendar.
I've searched the forum but haven't found an answer for this yet. The calendar entries are disappearing. I have Keep Forever checked. I generally have between 12-20 MB free app space; right now it's at 19. None of my tasks, emails or SMS/MMS are disappearing, only my calendar entries from previous months.
I use the Storm's calendar as my client scheduling tool -- I NEED to know when I last saw clients for my quarterly and year end reports. I use Nice Office as a CRM and backup -- but when I asked them, they looked into the sync and said the delete was coming from the BB itself, not from them. I do not use Outlook, as I don't run on Windows. I really need to get this straightened out now -- I switched to the BB specifically for these features. Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on??
I went to the Verizon place a couple of days ago to see if they could get my phone to stop freezing and running slow. Well they accidentally deleted over half my pictures and my phone is the only place I have those pictures. Well luckily, I thought, I have a backup file and my pictures will be on there. But whenever I try to run it I get the error "data not recognized by desktop!" Some of these pictures are really really important to me and I want them back. Is there anything I can do to make the backup file work? Will it even contain the pictures? I have a blackberry storm and the verizon place said I have the most updated software.
From my desktop computer I use a USB cable to synchronize my Outlook contacts, calendar and tasks to my Storm2. I also have a laptop computer and use BlueTooth to synchronize it's Outlook contacts, calendar and tasks with the Storm2. The synchronization seems work fine. I wanted to access my personal email so I set it up by selecting SET UP then EMAIL SETTINGS and followed the wizard. It worked perfectly but it also created another calendar which seems to be associated to the new email address. This caused problems when trying to synchronize, my desktop was updating one calendar while the laptop was updating the other. When I deleted the email address the extra claendar was also deleted. Am I missing something, why is a second calendar created when I setup an email account?
With the wealth of programming in the BB OS, it just seems anomalous that nobody has made a nice, rich and accessible business-type calendar/datebook that can sync with a desktop version so that new items can be typed in, instead of relying on the functional-but-certainly-slower onscreen method. And, so the calendar can be viewed from the desktop when appropriate.
I come from a long history of smartphones, from Kyocera through Palm, etc., and never thought to come up against this particular brick wall. So since RIM hasn't devised one, I thought I'd search the Web Store and find one, but specialized calendars seem to be the rule.Tried Google Calendar, but so far it won't sync with the RIM datebook.

My Storm 1 crashed Sunday night with message on screen stating 'Reload Softwares 552'. I called Verizon Tech Support and they just ended up giving me a brand new Storm 2 for free! All I had to do was re-sign my contract for another two years. Gonna miss my Storm 1 but the Storm 2 is sweet! Just got it today. Anyone wanting to upgrade, try using that excuse.
I recently updated the software on my Blackberry Storm 9500 to version 5.0 and now i cannot send mms (though I can still receive mms).I have spent over 4 hours on the phone with my carrier (Vodafone) and they have no idea why I can no longer send mms. I tried downgrading the software and found I could send mms again.Is there any way of fixing it so i can have the newest version of software on my Blackberry and still be able to send mms?
I checked my settings on my desktop manager and opened my ipd file-nothing for my contacts or calendar. What did I do wrong? Is there any chance on earth I get any contacts back?Here are my settings:
Back up all application data
Back up on board device memory
When I did the automatic backup it was saved to my docs.I don't have outlook or anything.
My browser and email stopped working about 3 days ago and I spent almost a whole day on the phone with support, no help. They had me do everything including delete all my service books and now there is nothing in the host routing table. They finally said, we cant help. My phone is stuck on lower case edge and I cant get data.

I was wondering if I can replace the verizon email service books with att's books also if that is possible what books will I look for in crackutil any help is appreciated
Has a Storm and it just shut off on. When I pull the battery, the red light comes on for a few seconds and the screen and buttons light up. Then, it starts over. 20 minutes later and it's still in that same cycle.
It's rocking Verizon's official 5.0 and she doesn't do anything to modify or hack it. I've never encountered this before.
I'm wondering if the OS became corrupt, but we're @ Red Lobster and there's nothing I can do now.
I'm having problem with my storm phone ever since it was dropped in water. I left it to dry for a week. Since then I replaced my battery and the phone came on with the clock and then the screen showed up. and could not do anything. Then the screen went black. Now when I try to recharge it only a green light appears and nothing else. Did I kill my battery and is the phone no longer good or it's just my screen and i can replace it.
I am a customer of Verizon Wireless in the USA and have recently had a brand new phone sent to me. I live in Canada so I have to manually activate my phone. I have no problems doing the manual activation to allow me to make and receive calls. However, I cannot register my phone to get my data usage set up. After hours of troubleshooting over the phone with Verizon, they've some up with the conclusion that I have to be in the US, and on the Verizon network to register the phone. I have always been on the global data plan. So, basically right now I'm with a smartphone that has zero smartphone capabilities. is another way to get this phone activated.
Somtimes when reading a text or using camera my Storm will re-boot and when it comes back up it will say the battery is dead. This happens after its been on the charger all night. The only way to fix it is to use quickpull. Which i have set to re-boot everyday at 5am.. Could my battery be going bad or what?
So my old, wine covered Storm is gone and I got a brand new replacement from Telus today. Hurray! I backed up the old phone and restored it backup on the new one, but all my third party apps are gone (Telus told me that they should transfer, but I was skeptical). Is there anyway to get these back without having to re-download them all? There's two or three that I actually paid for... it would suck to have to re-buy them!
I'm looking at BlackBerry Desktop Manager, and there's an option to import 3rd party apps from the old phone to the new one, but you need to have both phones at the same time I think. Not too handy!
For the past 4 or 5 days I am waking up to find my 4 E-Mail accounts wiped off my Storm. I add them again and by the nex day they are all gone again. I went to a Verzon Service center and they were at a loss as what to do. They suggested I go home and call a Verizon tech to walk me through a hard reset. I insisted on calling from the store which clearly irrritated the employees there. When I spoke to the tech at the 800 number she was incredulous that they wouldn't help me at the store. She asked to speak to the supervisor there. They had a short conversation and he hung up and said I need to do a hard reset but the store policy is not to do that.
So, I went home and calle dtech support again and did the hard reset and reset my 4 email accounts. This was last night. This morning 2 of my accounts were deleted from the phone and the other two, while there were non-functional. The E-Mail setup function was gone from my phone. I had to do a restore to get it back and reset my accounts again. I'm guessing my only recourse is to go back to a verizon store again and insist on yet another replacement? I'm really beginning to hate Verizon.
