Some apps fail install with no error code, and a second install will work.
Some give an error but works fine.
Some need a restart or two to work.Last edited by jackpots; 06-19-12 at 03:07 PM.

Downloaded BDM on my Desktop PC. Not a very intuitive UI. Got it going for the first time and backing up my Playbook. Now every time I connect my Playbook to the PC, BDM automatically goes into backup mode which takes an hour plus. Cannot figure out how to turn the auto download off so that I can use BDM to transfer a .bar file from the PC to the Playbook.
At one point, I got to a stage where I clicked on a file on the PC and then clicked send to and was given an option of sending it to the Playbook, but was denied by the Playbook. (I wasn't able to get back to this again.)
Is there a post that could help?
The frustration level is high because every time I tried to start over, BDM wanted to backup the Playbook, a procedure you can't cancel out of!
Another multiday learning curve event - something I hadn't experienced with the Playbook yet!louis.keeper likes this.07-16-12 09:30 AMLike 1 - BlackBerry Desktop Manager - Issues
For some reason, I thought that BDM could be used to transfer files. ITS NOT!!
I Googled "How to transfer files for a PC to a Playbook". The answer appeared. All you need is the Device IP address.
