Problems with download of blackberry desktop software

It's an .exe file for Windows, so it won't work "out of the box" with Linux. You can decide a) to run it using a Windows emulator or b) try LinBerry, a Linux replacement for the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

a) How to run the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Just save the file instead of running it, then open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine
wine /path/to/the/file
where /path/to/the/file is the path to the file you downloaded.

These commands will install Wine (a Windows "emulator") and try to run the BlackBerry Desktop Manager installation program - just follow the instructions as you would under Windows. The shortcuts for the Desktop Manager should be then present among those of the other applications. Be wary that, since this program requires using system functions in an advanced way, you may experience crashes.

b) How to use LinBerry
Go to http://linberry.webcindario.com/pages/descargar.html and download the Ubuntu 12.04 package, then install it by double-clicking it - unfortunately, the author provides packages only for 32-bit systems at this time. The program is also not complete at this time.

I have successfully downloaded the Linberry programme, and it works fine, since my Ubuntu 12.04 version is 32-bit. But the problem still is: I want to copy and transfer my images and thumbnails and mp3s and videos from Blackberry to Ubuntu, and I have not yet understood if and how it can be done, using this Linberry software. I look forward to your reply, in order to solve my problem. Thank you very much indeed!!!
