RE: Lecture #21 in Blackberry 101
After reading ALL of this thread, I strongly urge you (CB peeps) to edit the original article/post to include a disclaimer and acknowledge at the ***BEGINNING*** of the article, that this software has DIFFERENT versions that probably (even more so now as article is dated 6-3-08) DO NOT INCLUDE this feature!
I too, have a newly aquired(8-24-10) BB with the Blackberry Desktop Manager(ver 5.0) (copyright 2009) software on the bundled CD that I got last week from Radio Shack with new T-Mobile contract and free BB Curve 8520. My first BB...yeahME! lol!I Installed the sw and immediately noticed these differences in my Main Menu :
-screen shot of program in tutorial has icon for "E-mail Settings" Program... but my sw does NOT have this, instead I have "Synchronize Certificates".
-after opening up Media then Media Manager-
(Roxy Media Manager -Build 940B62F ENU, Technical support ID 710263386913 copyright Sonic Solutions) there is NO choice on any of the programs menus or selections for this "Quick Sound Editor Preview" - there IS a preview popup called QuickShow, but it is a player only... with NO editing features!ZIP,ZILCH,BUPKISS!

- I checked for updates and the verdict returned was "the software manager did not find updates for your application"

So, as far as making ringtones from this software, myself and others are SOL, and this tutorial means nadda, sadly.
I have so much to learn with this new toy - PLEASE help a newbie by warning upfront that there are version issues. This site is amazing though

, and I appreciate every effort involved, THANKS Crackberry people

You ROCK!
