I have downloaded the 5.0 version of desktop manager over and over and cannot get it to recognize my phone when I connect it to my computer (which is running xp). I need to establish a connection to link my calender and my contacts (the whole reason I got this blasted phone). The only message I get is "verify that your device is connected" What can be done? I have tried several hard resets and downloaded different versions of the desktop software. My computer does recognize the phone as a jump drive but I can't utilize any of the features of the desktop manager.
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Here is the list of troubleshooting atricles...hopefully something will be useful:

KB19717 The BlackBerry smartphone is not detected as a USB Mass Storage Device when connected to a computer
Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
Cheers!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
5.0.1.what? There are 4 octets to the version number...and RIM just released a brand new version which is still 5.0.1.xxx so it's that last octet that matters the most. With so little detail, it's hard to suggest anything but a complete start over...here's a process:
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
- KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
- Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
- Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
- Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
- KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
- KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

I have installed the blackberry desktop manager v 4. I'm wanting add themes using the "application loader" but it doesn't allow me. I keep getting a message saying "Invalid Configuration. The device does not have sufficient storage space to accommodate your selections". The thing is that have enough memory on my external memory card (i have checked). Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in Advance!!!
the external memory card is called by RIM a "media card". All you can store on it is media files : mp3, videos, ringtones, pictures, voice notes. Themes are installed at the same location as applications : either device memory or Application memory (depending on your device model).
if you have an old device:
home screen >> options >> status >> file free
how much is it ? It should be more than 10'000'000.
if you have a recent device:
home screen >> options >> memory >> application memory
how much is it?
