Are you serious Blackberry? Doesn't sync with a Mac?

I was having all kinds of problems syncing my Blackberry Bold 9900 to my Mac.  A blackberry tech told me that I should upgrade to the Blackberry 10, since it has no problems syncing to a Mac.
Several hundred dollars and a few hours of frustration later, I call Blackberry to let them know that syncing still isn't working.  This time a tech told me that calendars not syncing to Macs was a "known issue" and there was no ETA for this to be fixed but that it certainly wouldn't be for a while.
Seriously, blackberry?  Your flagship product, out for several months, doesn't do this rather basic thing most users would simply assume that it does?  And it's not disclosed anywhere!!  (even the blackberry link software for Mac happily tells you that you are syncing calendars with no errors).

  • I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased now I'm getting an error message where whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and no luck.  Any help to restore my book?

    I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased I'm getting error messages and whole chapters are missing.  I tried re-syncing with my mac book and nothing changed.  Any help to restore my book completely?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a time-consuming "Restore."

    You need minimally Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad.  Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not?  (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • IPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

    iPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

    After connecting it, the light should continue to flash (if you use the Manually manage music or Enable disk use setting), or it should become a solid (not flashing) color (if you use automatic syncing).  The light going OFF may indicate that the shuffle is not able to charge.  You are using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle (it has a mini-dock), correct?
    That problem could be caused by the shuffle itself.  Since a 2nd gen shuffle is at least five or six years old at this point, it may be the battery becoming worn out.  It may also be a problem on the USB port.  As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac.  Is there any difference?

    I have two iphones in my house hold one syncs with my MAC Itunes the other doesn't is there a setting that casues the Iphone to stops syncing with Itunes?

    You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
    Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

  • My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

  • IPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore!! HELP!!

    I am in complete despair - my iPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore. It all started a couple of days ago, after installing the latest updates of both, iTunes and iPod. After that, I noticed that the iPod wasn't synching the changes and new additions I had made in iTunes.
    I tried everything so far with no success. I did reset the iPOd, reinstalled the iPod updater, than did a RESTORE and now my iPod is completely empty, but refuses to download my music from iTunes.
    When connected, it shows up, start "updating iPod" and several seconds later shows "update complete". In the iPod window I can all the songs (in grey) from my library, but they are not being transferred to my iPod!!!
    Please, help!!

    I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
    First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
    The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
    Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
    Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
    iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
    I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
    Hope this helps!

    My iphone after syncing with my mac is saying "64 items could not be synced, see i tunes for details" however I cant see what items are not synced as no obvious message. Where do I look for this info?

    Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings.  Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

  • Are you serious that photoshop does not support touch zoom and rotate??!!

    I just spent thousands of dollars on a new cintiq 22hd touch and now people are telling me that touch zoom and rotate are not supported in photoshop when running it with a windows platform (only works with MACS)???!!! are you serious???!!! I just tested this out and its TRUE!!!  You can pan with touch but not zoom or rotate.  The zoom and rotate functions work in all my other programs BUT NOT PHOTOSHOP.  I even have the latest version of photoshop (CC), latest patch and all and nope! no multitouch support! 
    I dont know who im more pissed with WACOM or ADOBE.   Wacom's touch advertising was supposed to be their selling point! if you cant even use it with the most popular graphics program...err what's the point???  And Adobe should have provided support like what...AGES AGO...the touch tablets and cintiqs have been out for almost a year now! 
    HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE LIVE IN 2013 and the best graphic hardware IS NOT COMPATIBLE with THE BEST GRAPHIC SOFTWARE on an OS (windows) that like over 50% of the population use??!!
    UNBELIEVABLE!

    I do not have a cintiq however I down loaded the user manuals for the DTH-2242 and DTK-2241 and the Cintiq 22HD> the first two Interactive pen displays seem to support multi Touch where the Cintiq 22HD only seem to support touch strips.
    The ones with multitouch support show this in the user manuals. On windows standard gestures are always on and there is no TAB. I would not like that.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Blackberry Storm 9530 sync with Ical?

    Does anyone know how to sync their blackberry storm with their ical or entourage calendar 2004? I can't. Is it even possible?

    After spending hours with 'pocketmac' and the 'missingsync' getting nowhere with trying to synce my BB Bold with my Mac I stumbled across Google! If you open an account with them (free) you have the ability to upload your mac calendar and you address book will sync with google from the address book preferences. After you have uploaded what you need you can then use "google sync" to transfer your calendar and address book to your BB. The calendar does not sync with your mac and you will have to edit it online but you can periodically upload a new vCal file onto the google calendar. This is by far and away the best and free way to get mac info into a BB. It's not perfect but oh so much better than the offical options available.
    The only other true way to achieve sync is to boot into windoze and buy outlook. Then everything works perfectly, but who want's to do that? Take a look at the google option, it's the best I've found so far after HOURS of messing around with the other sync apps!
