I've downloaded and installed the latest version of the Desktop Manager and set the options to synchronize my Outlook contacts and calendar, but when I click synchronize the progress bar flashes up quickly then disappears. My contact list and calendar on my phone don't change.
have you setup the sync settings within desktop manager? click on sync within sync configuration to configure desktop program. Maybe you already looked at it.
open Desktop manager
go into Options > Data Folder Settings...
find the current data folder (should be something like C:\document and settings\yourusername\application data\blackberry...
close Desktop Manager
open the current data folder in Windows Explorer
find the "Intellisync" folder and remove/rename it
restart Desktop Manager
reconfigure Intellisync folders
Tried that. The phone flashes as if something's going to happen but the progress box just pops up then closes again straight away. No contacts or calendar on the phone have changed.
Mine kept fouling on sync and would not back up, I cleared the "Browser Data Cache" and it resolved it.
When I opened the browser and hit options and cleared it there, but it only cleared half. I opened the desktop manager and into "Back up and restore" and in the advanced options I found the Browser Data Cache and cleared it there. Then it worked perfect again.
There was a problem like this a long time ago when upgrading DM (like DM 4.1 or so)...
I can't remember all the details unfortunately, but I ended up unregistering some of the files for the interface with Outlook... I believe I found the error/fix via google search.
Sorry I don't recall the specific details, but I'd bet this is what you need to do.

Any ideas?
What is the latest DM that you downloaded ?
Try this.
Setup outlook again and make sure you finish the setup via DM. Make sure you are choosing Outlook and nothing else. I know you know what you are doing but sometimes we miss things out because we would be frustrated. sedond thing try the cach browser thing clear history cach opps... etc then sync again see if it works. Third thing make sure you have your sync options under DM options stated to USB not BLuetooth. third thing uninstall DM and try to download from here w w w.telusmobility.com/supportcenter this is the cleanest DM 4.7 on the other hand did you have any other phones or WM phones synced with your PC? if yes disable that and delete the phone. Tell me what happens and if you could pass thru that sync thing.
Also make sure you have the device plugged directed into a USB on the PC or laptop. Don't use a hub. If you are using a PC, make sure it is plugged into a USB in the back of the PC, not the front.
Cleared the cache.
It's plugged directly into a USB port on the back of the PC.
I haven't used any other phones with it.
It is selected to connect by USB, there's no bluetooth on the PC.
Only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling and installing it again. I do have the latest version installed but will try that next.
Question Guys. Some of my contacts were added to my BB and I had them sync'd with my old work computer when I was on BES. And some of the new contacts were added and sync'd with my Mac at home. Now I have two Desktop contact list in my phone? And I can not get the entire list of all 230 contacts to sync to either my Mac or my PC at home.
On the PC I am running the latest DM and Outlook 07. On the Mac I have tried Pocket Mac which is worthless and Missing Sync. Any suggestions?
