    Greetings,

    Just started with a brand new machine and Windows 10; no BB software has been previously installed. After installing Link and attempting to sign in -- needed for remote file access -- this message appears:

    "Unable to sign in to your Blackberry Id. Confirm you are connected to the Internet and try again."

    Windows Firewall already has two link-related process listed as exceptions, obviously done during the install.

    Restarted the computer multiple times, and did a hard reset of the phone -- a Z10, hold the power button for about 14 seconds after power off. Searching on the forums and beyond I see that others have had similar problems but could find no general solution.

    Possibility: Installed is Link 1.2.3.56. Is there an earlier version that works on Windows 10?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If so

    Rename the iTunesPrefs.xml file and relaunch BlackBerry Link

    Please note: Completing the below steps may have adverse effects on the iTunes functionality. For further information, please contact Apple support.

    To rename the iTunesPrefs.xml file;
    Turn on Show hidden files and folders
    Navigate to C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\
    Rename the iTunesPrefs XML file file to iTunesPrefs.old

    Hi carjackd,

    Yes, read about the iTunes bug while searching on this topic but there is no iTunes pre-installed on this machine, and searched the entire C drive to be sure.

    Are there any other possible causes? Thanks for replying!
