I use a security code on my BB Curve 8330. I

I use a security code on my BB Curve 8330. I tried to sync media files today through desktop USB interface (win XP) and was prompted to enter a password. I used by my security code and BB account password, neither worked. I disconnected the USB cable and now am unable to unlock the device through the keypad. Twice I have re-set the device (removed battery), and we prompted to enter the word "blackberry" which I did. When prompted to unlock the device, I try entering my code, but instead of the usual display of **** characters (typical when typing a password), I see on screen the characters I'm entering. I use a 4 digit number for my unlock code, but when I key it in I see the corresponding QWERTY value (e.g. type "2" see "e" on screen)
I now have 9 failed attempts out of 10, and don't want to lose my data. How can I get this think unlocked?

I had the same problem a while ago you need to set the "key stores" password you do this by going to options select security the select key stores and when your in there hit the blackberry button on your keypad and then select "change password" then enter your password you want then you should be good to go next time you connect your phone to your computer because you just enter that password you did there on the computer and then you're all done!

I have a blackberry curve 8330 and suddenly today when calling out or receiving a call I can't hear them nor can they hear me, the phone rings on both ends though. The phone does not work with a blue tooth...

First, download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager software from: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22&dl=DA5FB46338C8C0DCB1039F7898184FC5

Once installed, connect your BlackBerry to your computer via the USB sync cable. Open Desktop Manager, and click the Application Loader. On the right, you will see Update your device software. Click the Start Button, and if your BlackBerry is not on the latest Handheld Software, an update will appear. Select the update, and run the install. Be sure to select the option that backs up and restores your data. Once started, do not shut down your computer, or disconnect the USB sync cable as this could damage the device.

Once completed, your BlackBerry will restart and you will have the latest version available. This version has been known to correct various issues, like volume issues.

If the issue is still present, then it could be hardware related, and may need to be repaired or replaced. I would then suggest contacting your Provider for Hardware Support.

How do i transfer music from pc to bb curve 8300?

You can't put songs that you have bought from apple. You can put songs that you have riped from CD's or downloaded. You need a micro SD card. On the phone go into options: Advance Options, Media Card. Turn mass storage mode on. Now plug your BB into the computer and a little window will open up. open the Blackberry folder then music. Drop and drag your music files into that folder. if your going to use the Desktop software go to google and type: Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.5. This version comes with a media manager. http://crackberry.com/blackberry-desktop-manager-version-4-5-now-available Click on this link or copy and paste the complete link into your browser.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe
