BlackBerry Desktop Manager Updated To Version 5.0.1.37

BlackBerry Desktop Manager Updated To Version 5.0.1.37

BlackBerry Desktop Manager was quietly updated at some point this week. So quietly in fact, I guess RIM forgot to send the notification to desktop clients already installed. Checking for updates never triggered an alert in my currently installed version. Either way, you can now grab the updated version from the RIM download site. Personally, I seem to only use Desktop Manager for backups and restorations nowadays and the odd adjusting of databases from a back up file. But, having the latest version installed or at the very least downloaded is always a good habit.

Mine says
5.0.1.28 (Nov. 11 2009)
I am on winXP.

Win 7 is too costly to upgrade.

Is there anyway OTA way other than BES that I can sync my Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Tasks without having to connect USB or Bluetooth. Currently i sync using bluetooth when in close proximity of my pc, but I'd rather it automatically sync OTA.

Please let me know, it would really be more convenient as I'm always on the go.

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

If your hooked into a BES network, the only sync, I believe, your capable of is with/from a Outlook server. I am not sure if even todays Google Sync for BB can help you. Your BES Admin can loosen the protocols on your BB. Contact them directly and inquire as to what changes can be made to suit your needs.

Is there a download link WITHOUT the dang Roxio and BB Media Sync junk in it? Up until Desktop Manager 5.0, there was an alternate download without the Roxio and BB Media Sync stuff (since the media managers are crap anyway).

 
 
Posted by Bill_Johnson Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Hey! I found this WITHOUT Media Manager! Go to https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do and select "BB Sesktop Software v.5.0 Service Pack 1 (5.0.1). There you can download either version.

If RIM dumps that crap...Roxio Media Manager as well, then I would use exclusively the Media Sync option in the Desktop Manager software. However, I don't have 3 Light years to transfer 40 pictures or 12 songs to my BB. I just clic-n-drag folder to folder now. The way its SUPPOSED to be done on a computer. That damn Roxio just hangs up my computer and eventually just crashes anyway. Piece of crap is what I say.

Desktop Manager 5.0.1 B73 Multilanguage - With Media Manager (3/24/2010)

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Unless you truly need all those languages on your BB (which I'm banking on you don't) then all those language packs just use up your critical Memory amount. You cannot store ANY Application files on your Media card. However, if you delete ALL the language packs in your BB, you'll have more room to download app's that can actually help you!!

please help i am having problems unlocking mass storage mode & in the bluetooth options the contacts transfer is locked on disabled with little red lock beside both, please help

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

The answer is because the PIN code has been re-set. Its locked. You can reset the PIN code (factory default is 0000). Navigate to Blackberry.com/support/forums/bluetooth and you will find an extensive article on how to re-set your Bluetooth enabled device. I am aware that there is what may also be called " a BB shortcut" to do this. I have been looking into that allegation for a while now, and I've found nothing to substantiate it.

Downloading right now but taking forever....ugh!! Would love to see how this one is.

 
 
Posted by alternativejuliet Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Posted by alternativejuliet Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Posted by StaticFX Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

uuung - everyone must be downloading. Im on a network that gets 60+MB/s down and 1.5hrs later its not done! Canceled - will try later.

 
 
Posted by Phillybest Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Setup now gives you the option whether to install Media Sync and/or Media Manager.

 
 
Posted by rgorman Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

I'll wait for the inevitable update for the glitches. And besides, 4-1/2 hours to download? On a corporate superpipe?

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Just laughing my ass off, cuz that "superpipe" is probably using the ROXIO Media Manager....lol...lol...LMAO

 
 
Posted by DustBow Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

I am trying to download the newest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager, someone hasta have another link to a site that can download it FASTER. I am currently downloading it at 16kbs, I mean COME ON RIM, you can't get more servers to download these things faster?

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Use a free Download Manager, or surf the Title on a FTP network. Try BitComet, or Kazaa. downloads.cnet.com has a bunch of dl managers. Pick Orbit, its so ez to use and will instantly speed up the download. just save to your Program files, then choose the directory, scan the file the run the .exe file. Done.

 
 
Posted by paula.walla Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Why in the world is this download taking so long? I mean, after 30 minutes I'm at 4% complete? Wow...

 
 
Posted by aris20 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

How many MBs is this new DM ?

 
 
Posted by deevious_dee Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

250 mb

 
 
Posted by jeffs99 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Actually only 76 MB w/o Media Manager

 
 
Posted by deevious_dee Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Well sorry, it will even take you over an HOUR for 76 mb, that is just hideious, That is like being back on DIAL-UP.
I would be ASHAMED if I was RIM right now. They are trying to be the LEADERS in phone technology, but their equipment is OUT-DATED! No wonder they are taking so long to release the New Bold, they are working with tools that our fore-fathers used when they were making horse-shoes.

 
 
Posted by deevious_dee Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

O.K. now that was total BS, I was halfway through the Download, and The connection was RESET!!! WTF is goin on with RIM?!?!?! I swear they are worse than the US Government TAKE OUR MONEY, but don't want to give us ANYTHING in return!!

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

I've got that new Bold...the 9700. Its fantastic. Just thought you'ld like to know. Its soooo sweet. Does everything except my laundry.

I use VMware Workstation 6 to run DM for windows with Ubuntu as a host. I have never been able to perform an OS upgrade while DM is running in guest Windows XP.

Anyone have any luck doing that? I currently have to borrow my wife's pc tu upgrade OS on my BB.

thanks,

 
 
Posted by 2_BCs Friday, Mar 26, 2010 688 days ago

Haven't had any luck with OS upgrades either. I wound up adding a small 20Gb hard drive and Dual booting XP for BB maintenance.

 
 
Posted by enotar Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

downloading now but I am pretty sure they didnt fix the problem with Outlook 2010.
Why cant they?

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Lemme just say this once for everyone....OUTLOOK IS DONE.
No one is using it anymore, except for Microsoft, and a handful of companies. Its not POP3/IMAP compatible.

 
 
Posted by sonar_chris Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 688 days ago

Sorry, your completely wrong about that one. I know about 300,000 people that use it and thats only in one business.

 
 
Posted by monkfromwes Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Us people on Macs still are stuck with a quite lousy version that hasn't been updated once.

...But then again, I use a Storm I, and officially we're still using .328.

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Maybe you could borrow the other posters Super Commodore 64. Isn't that a MAC predecessor?

 
 
Posted by cmbarton80 Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Hey there-
I just wanted to post a quick note on here about trying to download this new update. When I saw the alert about the download being available a couple of hours ago, I went ahead and headed to the BB site to get the new version. I started the download on mozilla and it was going so slow that it said it was going to take 2 hours to download :-(. I canceled that one and re-downloaded it again and same thing happened as far as being REALLY slow....I then tried the DL again in google chrome after closing firefox to see if it was any quicker, but, unfortunately, was just as slow on there as well.
I have been checking randomly over the past hour or so to see if the dload was running any quicker, but still super commodore 64 speed slow....I am guessing the BB download site is probably the cause of the speed issue due to maybe everyone trying to download this update as they are finding out about it. I don't think it is a problem with my internet/computer, but if it is, I apologize for the long post :-). Assuming it isn't, I just wanted to give everybody a heads up about the slow download before they try to do the update....
Good Luck ;-).

No it's just the fact the RIM is using tools that our fore-fathers used when they created the wheel. Kinda funny how a company can be SO POPULAR, but the don't wanna spend the money to upgrade some of their equipment.
I mean look how long have they been talking about the Tour2, and now the SCRAP it, and are going to re-release it as the BOLD? I am guessing by the time it is just to come out, they will change the name again, to"HA WE FOOLED YOU SUCKERS AGAIN" Please wait another year before this comes out.

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

I haven't heard that in...welllll...years...LMAO....not since we talked about the Commodore pc....hysterical...I'm asking your permission to permanently borrow that. May I? LMFAO.....

 
 
Posted by superstarzchef Thursday, Mar 25, 2010 689 days ago

Maybe I'm very wrong, but I dl'ed the update in LESS THEN 15 seconds and now it is installing it on my pc.91% completed. I swear on this. It'll be done before I finish this letter. But then again I have a awesome broadband connection with a Fast Ethernet Card installed, and I'm in the neighborhood of 847.2 mb/s of speed. I have had that tested too,on-line. Ask me for a copy and I'll send it to you!! Okay...its DONE...I need to re-start o finish.

Mine was done in about 20 seconds then I had to just restart. I saw all this yesterday so when I tried to do it, I kept getting an error. I figired it had to do with the fact everyone was doing it and that the process was so long it had everything tied down. But I tried again this morning and it was very quick. I haven't connected the BB yet, but it is strange that everyone else was taking so long.....
