• New and very confused blackBerry smartphones

  well, I'm very new and very confused. I'm not savvy computer I should be too old, I guess.

  In any case, I recently bought a BB Storm, and then send it on a task in Alaska assignment where I can make cell phone calls, but not internet access on the phone.

  I want to download the latest software updates. As I don't have to pack the USB cord to connect the phone to my laptop, I suppose I could just move my card to my laptop and then media, but that has not worked. After messing around with it, now I can't access anything on my card press, photos, word files, nothing. I can move the files, photos, etc. back to map of support, but I can't access these files once the card in the phone?

  Any suggestions? Can I reformat the media card?

  1. do you cannot load an operating system of the press card.

  2. I suggest you a reformat of the card, since you have all the files on the PC that would lose?

• BlackBerry Smartphones view attachments and other parts of noob questions

  Hello

  I am completely new to blackberry and quite confusing.  Let me apologize in advance, as it's long and this device is much more involved than anything I've had before.

  When I get an email with an attachment (in this case, I myself sent a .doc file to test from a yahoo account) I get "the type of attachment cannot be viewed on the device.

  I just received my BB Tour today and was able to set up the email fairly easily as it is on a POP3 server.

  I activated the Go service Documents, it seems I have the Viewer (I followed the instructions to check another thread for the curve I think and he appeared in critical Applications, so I don't know if this applies in fact to the Tower, but I found what I think I'm supposed to have under options/applications configuration / advanced and then saw less 4.7 Core Applications under net_rim_bb_docview modules).

  I tried to restart the unit, but no luck.  I installed the Desktop Manager and followed the instructions to install/update all.

  So far, I have about 4 hours in this trying to read previous posts and the support site, which covers me.

  Since I just got today, is it possible that there is some sort of shift?  I got an activation message that asked me to leave Messages on the server, I did, so I think I am activated I get by e-mail and can send.  But, once again, to this news, it's all a bit overwhelming and me thinking I should have already activated the data with my Motorola Q package.  I will continue to play with it, to see if something clicks.

  Could someone direct me to a guide of type Blackberry 101 also?  I did find the manual very useful because I can not even find in it if I can set how often it checks for messages, or if there is a way I can put it to check every 5 minutes or only on request.  So, if someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful!  Also, need to update my Microsoft Outlook contacts list, but no luck learn how do that with success either.

  I know that there is a lot in a single message, but thank you for indulging in a beginner.

  Thanks to bifocals!

  I got it to work somehow, in actually button connections and mobile network options, and I ended up running a diagnostic test.  I found that by going to essentially every menu and submenu and hit bb button to see what other options he gave me.  He showed Activation of data Radio as No, and a whole bunch of strangers underneath, so I thought that something was not right with the connection somehow.  I turned all the connections off the coast, and then on again and ran another diagnosis and miraculously everything started working.  I knew I had another message for activation at this time, if something is obviously not the first time around.  It was the service books being returned because I disconnected then reconnected?

  Thanks for all the other information in your response, I will study everything!

• BlackBerry Smartphones confused Newbie: scheduling issues

  Hello

  I just got a BB b/c I was sick and tired of issues w / my very popular Palm software.

  But where the hell is the BB calendar on my desktop software?  I downloaded everything... but I can't find the calendar!

  Thank you!

  There is no "calendar software" on your PC, BlackBerry.

  You use the calendar on the BlackBerry and then synchronize these data calendar using the Desktop Manager to your PC for a PC like Outlook application or even a Google Calendar.

  Download Desktop Manager here:

• BlackBerry Smartphones icons disappeared and the menu won't pull up.

  OK, so I have a 8310.  I left my phone in the car for a few days (maybe something could have been by pressing one of the buttons while he sat there?) and when I picked it up, all my icons had been activated around and nothing was located where it was when I used the latter.  Everything worked fine, just all of the application and the homescreen icons were all scrambled to the top.

  This is the case, a * beep *, I decided to try to move the icons and put them back where they belonged.  I was able to highlite an icon and move it, but when I tried to finish the move sit icon where I wanted, the icon would be to just move with the trackball and has refused to sit in one place and stay there.

  Then I get a call on my phone and everthing is now the country of Wonderland with Alice and the White Rabbit!  All my icons have left the home screen, and I can't pull up the menu screen.  The trackball seems to work very well.  The blackberry icon button (between the button ' to call ' green and the trackball) seems to work (when the screen is black, you can push it and the screen lights up) but when you press it, the menu won't pull up.

  I thought that maybe I hid all the icons somehow?  I'm just confused on this one.  All the information at the top of the screen is still there.  Time, date, signal strength, network and all my message alert icons are visible.  I use the image as background is under the eyes, just all the icons disappeared and I can still shoot to the top of the menu to fix.

  1. press the Menu key and click SHOW EVERYTHING, as well as show that everything is checked.

  Now look around and see if you the icons. If this menu button still does not work...

  2 perform a reboot of the device: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

  A little luck?

  3. If still nothing, try to go to the Options icon if you can find and choose themes and change the themes... now all the icons?

  If you can't find the Options icon, press the green line to enter the call log.

  Press the Menu key > Options > General and make Options scroll down with a line to the home screen and the value to no.

  Now, go back to the home screen of the BlackBerry and press O (oh), alpha to zero. Who will pull up in your Options menu now

• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry and Smartphones are interchangeable on e-mail networks?

  I am a user of BB Curve which is changing jobs to another employer who uses the Motorola what. Can I use my curve if the employer does not use a Blackberry corporate email server? In other words, the BlackBerry and Smartphone are interchangeable on the e-mail systems?

  You can use the curve not BlackBerry Enterprise server. But you can use BlackBerry Internet Service and integrate professional email address via POP/IMAP/OWA and still continue to use BB. Your IT will know if they have access POP/IMAP/OWA.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB LINK and MIXTURE of BB for PRIV

  BlackBerry is going to bring in the 'link' or 'Blend' for the PRIV utilities? Essential major utilities to sync and interface with your PC. It would be a bit unfortunate if they do not, and many people will lose faith in the brand. He should have summer offer already, because this phone has been to appeal to business people who need to synchronize their e-mail, outlook, contacts, and calendar.

  Hi @abullen, @pplaut & @kastritis00

  Link blackBerry and mixture do not support the PRIVATE, so I've captured your request and shared internally.

  Since this is the current state, I have marked my answer as the solution in case others have a similar question.

  Thank you!

  The most transparent way is synchronization with Outlook, via the Desktop Manager.

  Step 1 install Blackberry Desktop Manager Manager of

  Connect blackberry to your PC via a USB cable and let the blackberry device driver install. During the device driver installation is complete, it will warn 'material installed successfully' in your windows taskbar.

  Step 3
  Run the Blackberry Desktop software and choose the option SYNCHRONIZE.

• Smartphones blackBerry and email roaming

  I'm new to Blackberry and have set up my email to my handheld as it comes in my Inbox mailbox.

  I'm soon going on foreign holidays and don't want my emails to push while I'm foreign because of the cost of roaming.

  Does anyone know how can I activate pushing off the coast while I'm away?

  Do you know if your on a BES (receipt of company e-mail on your device and your device is configured by your IT Department), or BIS (just receipt of personal e-mails)?

  If your on a BES, then your IT Department can disable forwarding of e-mail on your account and then turn it back on when you get home. I believe you can also go into Messages. Options | E-mail settings and set the "Send Email to handheld".

  If you use only BIS, you can enter in your BIS carrier site and go the section filters on your email account. You can then set the filter to not forward messages to your device.

• Smartphones Pocketmac blackBerry and Blackberry 9530 Storm

  I need to sync my new blackberry to my new Mac computer. I downloaded the last Pocketmac but it will not sync my Blackberry and my Mac. I uninstalled and reinstalled. The 9530 is fairly recent. Does anyone know if the Pocketmac is not able to sync the phone because it's so new? Any help is appreciated!

  What version of Mac OS you are using?  My mac could not find my BB storm. I fixed it by upgrading my OS in Mac OS X 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and pocketmac both pilot updated. The problem is resolved.

• BlackBerry® Smartphones personal email and corporate email

  I'm new on my blackberry and I currenlty has my phone set in place for e-mail professionals thorugh my BES work.  Y at - it a separate free app which will alow full access to my personal email (yahoo, gmail or ISP) who will not mix to my application 'messages' to work and won't be visible or by my BES work?  Thanks for your help.

  all go through your data plan on the carrier... including your Bes... the messages icon is not BES. BES uses the MESSAGES icon.

  Gmail makes an app that can be installed that will get your email, then you need not attached to your BIS, so he's not going to your MESSAGES icon. As for yahoo... I had to use google to find this information that I do not use yahoo

• BlackBerry Smartphones BES emails and Gmail on a single screen

  I currently have the office via the BES emails on my blackberry 8310. Is it possible to configure mail messages display also email Gmail without touching the BES or whatever it is on exchange servers.

  That I am consulting my Gmail via the browser and because of the fact that I'm in Germany, I can't use gmail on blackberry and mobile client.

  Any thoughts would be wonderful.

  To configure the gmail account, you will need to connect to the site of your carrier/service provider BIS (email configuration) and add the gmail account. This way emails can be forwarded to your phone. The phone normally has a configuration of e-mail icon that allows you to do.
