My computer cannot detect my device

Try the following actions:
  • Verify that your BlackBerry device is connected to your computer.
  • If you are trying to connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, verify that the USB cable is not damaged.
  • If you are trying to connect your device to your computer using Bluetooth technology, verify that your device is within range of your computer (a typical range is approximately 10 meters).
  • Turn off synchronization programs or antivirus programs temporarily.
  • Verify that you are not running software that scans the communications ports on your computer.
  • On the Advanced Settings tab, in the Troubleshooting section, if the Detect a BlackBerry device with Application Loader link appears, your administrator might have made BlackBerry Device Software available for you to install. Click the link and complete the instructions on the screen.
