    I removed the iTunes and link still won't open. It crashes. I am going to try with my laptop that never had iTunes installed.
    What Os base do you have? Windows or Mac and which release?

    I did the iTunes fix, and my phone still shows as being disconnect in link. Link opens fine, shows my phone, but it says it is disconnected and nothing I do seems to fix this.

    I'm on Win10, BB Link shows my device as not connected. It won't connect. Blend works fine but ever since I went to a new PC and installed Link, It hasn't worked.
    Add to this I updated the OS last night and lost EVERYTHING. Spent most of the day today rebuilding my phone!!! Not very happy with BB!!!

    If you have iTunes installed, have you tried the fix posted above?
    No, because I need iTunes to continue working, it's critical for me.

    Fair enough, it's not ideal but if a backup is just as critical something you could try is to make the changes, back up your device through Link, and then revert the iTunes changes when you're done.

    I backup with Sachesi, Link hasn't worked reliably for me in the past year or so.

    Having known iTunes for quite a while now, I don't want to do anything that might 'disturb' it. It's too dangerous for me to lose hundreds of honestly acquired CDs which reside in iTunes and itunes match. Been there, done that. I need a fix for what's not working any longer, not a potentially risky workaround that opens other weak spots.

    I'll bet a lot of us have an old computer in the basement/garage/workshop. I dug one out and installed Link on it and now use it for my BB10 phones.

    BB10 is supported only with the old operating systems, windows 7/8.1 I guess. It doesn't support windows10! Similar is the case with Mac. What's the point in updating the devices to 10.3.3, when it can't even be backed up with link software. You Gotta Love Blackberry, SIGH!

    I'm using iTunes 12.3.3 on Windows 10 - Link works fine and I have no problem syncing up playlists from iTunes to my Z30. Sometimes it goes wonky but mostly it works.

    How else would someone sync iTunes playlists to their device?

    Convert the songs to MP3 and put them in another folder or put them on a hard drive

    ITunes breaks Link on Windows.
    Even with I Tunes removed and wiped clean, Link now hangs on "Blackberry Run-Time". Any thoughts?

    Nope.

    I don't use Link. It's as useful to me as the bubonic plague.

    It's probably the single biggest source of BB10 problems on this site.

    Use Ultimate Backup. Anything it doesn't backup shouldn't be.
