Hi All,
I used to be able to figure things out. But somehow I'm stumped here.
I have a new BB Bold. My PC is running win xp. I have outlook 2003 on the PC.
I'm starting to get the hang of the BB, and would like to start using the calendar a little more robustly. I used to have a pocketpc and used activesync to sync them up. My BB came with a cd called blackberry user tools. I assume the desktop manager is on it. Problem is this; when I put the cd in the drive, it autoruns. But the problem is that the screen is blank/grey. Like there's something missing from my java or flash or whatever the autorun uses.
Is there somewhere that I can download the desktop manager? I went to the blackberry site and there is quite a selection to choose from. So what do I need to get this thing synced up to my PC, and where can I find it?
You can install the BB Desktop Manager on multiple machines, but I'd be careful when you sync and back-up so you don't have multiple versions if you need to restore.
OK, now I've manually edited/removed/fixed the contact list in my PC's MS Outlook. Where do I select in the desktop manager app to replace the contacts on my phone with those on my PC?
Make sure you go to back-up restore and make a back-up copy of your device. Get in the habit of backing up regularly. I can't tell how many time's we've heard "I meant to do it last week," when a bb has trouble and there is no back-up copy to use to restore a device.
