You don't need Roxio Media Manager to transfer media. In the setup options, just un-tick Roxio Media Manager.

As I said the Roxio Media Manager is a nightmare. Don't use it. It has no functionality you really need.

Welcome to the forums!

The RIM website offers downloads of the latest versions of Desktop Manager with or without the Roxio add-on. Try downloading and installing a version with Roxio first-if the problem persists, try a version without it. The link is below:

BlackBerry - Desktop Software - BlackBerry Desktop Software at BlackBerry.com

Do you happen to have Roxio or Sonic related software on your computer?

If you have, remove it and attempt to reinstall it, as the version that comes with the Bold might be a more updated version, always remove older versions as overwriting an existing installation might cause the software to be corrupted.

If you are running Windows on your comuter, go to Control Panel>Add and Remove Programs. Remove any version of Desktop Manager that you see in your Installed Programs. Then try downloading DM again.

If its just the media portion of the desktop thats not working, try use Windows Media Player if you have it. I just use that transfer songs onto my Bold. It sorts it out nice and carries over the album art.
