How to transfer files to and from the BlackBerry PlayBook

Update BlackBerry device drivers manually on a Windows-based computer

[dontimothy]

This Playbook is driving me nuts.... not only can I not see my media files (while still being able to back up), I can´t mount the volume... I´ve right clicked and tried to mount.... nothing. So I tried doing it over the W-Fi (reading loads of articles on this forum), but my playook will not connect to my office network. I´ve tried it manually, automatically... everything. and I know the office wifi works as I have a laptop and my BB phone on it.

So I just can´t seem to get any of my files onto the PB.... nor via USB nor via WIFI.

Perhaps the restart doesn't automatically start the service because it may be set to manual.

Try this.

1. Right click "My Computer" select "Manage"

2. On the left hand nagivation select "Services and Applications"

3. Then double click "Services"

4. Then on the list of services, right click "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" and select "Start"

Optional:

On 4: right click "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" and selct Properties

5. In the "Startup Type" select Automatic then click "Apply"

My wife has the desktop manager loaded onto our family computer. I plugged my new Playbook in and it prompts to install the Desktop Manager. It found a couple errors and prompts to fix them. I said yes and after a couple minutes the software faults out. It can't find necessary files to setup for the Playbook. I tried to do it with WIFI and and put the IPV4 address into the run box. It faulted with ...  "no network provider accepted the given path" I checked the properties of the device manager and it says  "internal volume not mounted"

I'm having this same issue. I know it's not my device because I use Win7 32bit at home and have not problems. When I'm trying to mount volume at work with a Win7 64bit machine, it doesn't work. I've tried the method of manually reinstalling the USB drivers, but have run into an obstacle. In the device manager my playbook is showing up as "USB Composite Device" instead of Blackberry device. I'm sure this is the correct device for my playbook because it disappears when I unplug the USB cable. I have tried to update the driver for this device manually using the "have disk" option, but when I navigate to the \Research In Motion\USB Drivers folder, it tells me "The folder you spcified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with a Windows for x64-based systems". This makes no sense as I can clearly see RimUsb_AMD64.sys in the folder. Any ideas?

One more solution found: For the past two days I've tried every troubleshooting tip I could find on this forum and many others, but nothing worked to get my new Playbook to sync with my Windows 7 32bit machine. I was, however, able to get the PB to work nicely with my old slow laptop running XP, but that wasn't the computer I wanted to use. I was going to wait for the new playbook 2.0 OS to come out to see if that would solve the problem. Eventually I decided to restore the default settings in Services and that resolved the problem of the playbook drive not mounting. So, if you've been messing around and tweaking your services settings like I had, then you may want to give this one a go. I'm now able to use the Blackberry Desktop Software to sync my media. Happiness finally. Hope this helps anyone else

Try this. Connect your PB to the computer. On your computer, left click on Start, click on Explore. This should list all your computer files and near the bottom, you should see Drive Z or maybe PlayBook. You can see all the PB folders, you can open some and you can also transfer media from one to the other by dragging.
You can also do this by WiFi if both are on the same network. Last night I transferred all my PB photos to my laptop by this method. It runs at lightning speed compared to BlackBerry Desktop Software.
