Did you install the device driver software as well?
DM will not recognize the Tour (or any other BlackBerry device) without the appropriate Device software package installed in addition to DM.
1. Uninstall any previous versions of Desktop Manager (before 4.7)
2. Verify the BlackBerry is not connected
3. Install 4.7 DTM from the disc or web
4. After installation, launch DTM
5. Connect the BlackBerry
I'm having the same issue, however installing DTM 5.0 from the CD did not solve my issue. DTM nor Windows will recognize my BB Tour. I've attempted to Uninstall "BlackBerry" and "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" and rebooting and still when I plug in my BB Tour Windows will attempt to install drivers and fail (XP).
Any other suggestions? I've also tried the steps above, uninstalling, re-installing, plugging in BB and still get the same results.

If you can't get DM 5.0 to install, download and install DM 4.7.

If you are using Windows 7 you may need to go to windows update while the phone is connected. There is a new BB driver available when you do but agiain it must be connected for windows to see it. Just a thought.
Got the Tour, installed from the CD (5.0). Device is recognized, but I cannot get my calendar or notes off my 8830 using the DM.
1 - Switch Device Wizard fails with: "Current Notification settings cannot be transferred". Further on it says "Application data could not be restored to the device"
2 - Trying to restore my old data using DM backup and restore it says "There was a communication error between the device and desktop manager"
3 - If I try to use the synch function on DM, it fails with "failed to connect to the device. be sure that the device is properly connected and try again"
Finally, if I try to just do a clean install of DM, I get the ""failed to connect to the device. be sure that the device is properly connected and try again"
I used DM 5.0, 4.7 and 4.2. I also got a new phone and used a different computer. Same results. HELP!!

Try using a different USB cable if you have one. In my experience, these cables are garbage, across the board, from manufacturer to manufacturer.
I buy enough devices that use them that I just look for a new one when mine stops working. Try a different cable.
