BB Curve, Pocket Mac, Mac Book Pro sync issues, all of a sudden

Hi, new to the forum here, but not to Blackberry or Mac! I've been using this sync combo since it's inception back when I first got a 7100, then with my T-Mobile Curve when it came out, with little or no problems. I now, all of a sudden, have issues! I did look around at some other posts to see if I could find a solution, or someone with the same problem, but I think my prob is slightly different, so forgive me if I'm repeating some things here that others already have talked about!
After dropping my Curve over in Europe last month and cracking the screen (ugh), I got a replacement from the insurance company, which turned out to be a remanufactured phone (for the $130 deductible??? - another topic!)....... there were apps missing, and the phones' keypad did not feel right, but IT DID sync ok... at any rate, I got them to send me a NEW phone, which I just received. It has the same exact software version as the other phones I had.
I did my usual USB sync with Pocket Mac, starting just with the contacts (mac address book) and notes (stickies). I selected 'overwrite device' in the advanced prefs of pocket mac (all latest versions installed, with latest drivers as well). Worked fine, as usual.
I then added some addresses in my address book on the mac, and went to do another sync. It was at this point that the sync did not work, either in 'overwrite device' or 'two way sync'. The added addresses were not on my phone.
What I've tried, and noticed so far:
On the phone, during the 2nd sync, no matter which pref I choose, the ARROW on the connection status window on the phone is going the WRONG WAY, towards the computer icon, not the phone icon. Since I added info only on the computer, the arrow should be going toward the phone, especially when in 'overwrite device' pref. This was NOT the case on the original sync, when the phones' address book was empty; the arrow was going the right way, towards the phone. I did the 'wipe/reset' that Brodie suggested in another post, which is going to the address book on the phone->menu->options->scroll to 'default' and type in 'rset'... that wiped the address book from the phone.
I then did another sync, pref in 'overwrite device' and again it worked fine, with all my addresses, including the recent entries, transferred as they should be to my Curve...
I again made a few changes as a test, adding one address on the phone, and one in the address book on the mac, did a 'two way' sync, and again, nothing, both new entries were NOT copied.
The other thing I noticed, is the connections status window goes away after a bit of time on the phone (like it's finished), but the pocket mac software on the Mac is still spinning, acting like it's still syncing, with the status bar near the end, but it never finishes. I have to quit it manually. This did not happen on the 'clean' sync, everything finished like it was supposed to.
This obviously is a drag to not be able to sync without wiping the phones' address book, especially when data has been entered on the phone, and in fact, in that case, there is NO WAY to get it to the computer at this point!
I'm running MAC OS 10.4.11. Brand new sync cable that came in the box with the new phone.
As I said, all software and drivers having to do with pocket mac and blackberry are the latest versions just installed.
Maybe the desktop mngr for mac will solve all this, but, until then?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Need major advice-Iphone,Ipad,Mac Book Pro syncing issues

I just purchased Mac Book Pro this weekend and I also have Iphone 4S and Ipad 1..all now with latest software update. I used a hard drive to save my music and photos from my old PC and imported them into Itunes on new Mac....when I sync Iphone it will not transfer any photos or apps that I originally had on my old computer or any new apps that I have downloaded since the purchase of the new computer. Itunes begins to sync, goes through some of the processes then cancels the sync. This is very disappointing being that I bought the Mac Book to have simple and seamless syncing between IPhone, Ipad 1 and Mac.
In addition, when I downloaded the new software to my Ipad 1, it did a hard reset and I lost every app on my Ipad. Someone please help me get these devices working in harmony!!!!!! I'm desperate and pulling my hair out......Thank you in advance!!!

Morning Frederic SALA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Mac book pro slow performance all of a sudden.. please help.

Mac book is running slow all of sudden. Please help debug the issue.

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

How do I stop my new mac book pro from opening all my old emails and flasing them in the top right corner?

How do I stop my new Mac book Pro from opening all my old emails and flashing them in the upper right.

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

On my macbook pro, was running on Yosemite and suddenly on starting the system I see "prohibited" sign. After trying a lot of combination of keys, I added external SSD and booted but it came up with Lion version.

Greetings skewat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Mac is booting to a prohibitory sign. In this situation, to help resolve the issue, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

Mac book pro - general issues i'm having

I swear since i bought my macbook pro 9 months ago there has been nothing but trouble with it. The longer i have it the more that seems to go wrong. Now i have a few issues and were wondering if these were normal or not really.
The first issue i have is with the touch pad button. Over time it feels as if it has become slightly raised to one side since i tend to use the left side of it to click down on and my right hand to maneuver the track pad. Anyway basically the right side has now become raised up and makes a horrible clicking noise whenever its used and has to be pressed down with alot of pressure.
Another issue i've had is the heat of my laptop. I know they get hot on your legs which isn't the issue. I'm more worried if it's healthy for it to be so hot. Using a widget i have i can check the temp of certain parts, some parts get up to 70 degrees celcius or more =/. On a normal computer that would mean goodbye from what i know.
Atm just using safari and nothing else but coconut battery open here's the following temperatures (Degrees Celcius):
HD: 42
CPU A: 57
Airport Card: 55
Enclosure base: 36
GPU Diode: 65
GPU Heatsink: 56
Heat Sink A: 57
Heat sink B: 45
Now I'm a big multi tasker, and when i have photoshop, firefox, safari (I us them both for different tasks) and illustartor open as well as MSN and skype these can get in excess of 60 degrees C. When playing games it gets even worse, often 70+ degrees C. Now these temperatures are worrying to me. Should i be worried?
Now i also have the issue of my macbook pro being horribly sluggish. My hard drive has 60GB free. Now what possibly may be the problem is I have windows XP dual booted as well as I often use a virtual machine for MIRC (I have yet to find a decent alternate mac based client i'm happy with). Anyway what can i do to increase my performance, because i'm not very happy right now with how sluggish it gets.
Another problem is the damned chargers. I am currently on my third one. I'm worried that when my warrenty goes im going to have to keep replacing them =/. My first one basically overheated, sparked and died. Wouldnt work no more. Second one the cord had exposed wires at the base of the charger. Now has anyone else had issues with this?
Ok, and that's it for now.

What gets to 70ºC, smash_you2 ? There is nothing abnormal about CPU temps around 70ºC when the computer is working moderately hard. Core 2 Duo temps can get much higher than this. Many Dell users, for example were reporting temps closer to 100ºC for their C2D CPU's on their discussion boards recently. 70ºC is typical of working fairly hard, but far from extreme.
One thing I would be worried about from your comments, though, is the suggestion of deformation in the track pad/ button area. THis can sometimes result from a defective battery becoming deformed. THis, in turn can result in greater heat from the charging system and the battery itself. I'd be more stressed about this possibility than the temperatures that your widget is quoting. Check your battery condition using system profiler.
Running in "dual boot" mode will, of course, always diminish performance generally, as your computer won't have the same CPU and memory resources available for the primary OS that it would otherwise possess.

HT1338 when updating OS X on brand new mac book pro 13 Retina, all it does is wait for several hours and I can not turn it off

Brand new and update showed up for the OS X. sected update and all it does is say wait for hours. It will not let me turn off the mac because the application loader keeps cancelling the request to either turn off or restart. Help

Hi again,
I have lost count of the number of posts here, in addition to my direct experience with my clients, where FileVault is discovered to be the main cause of whatever symptoms are being experienced. I refuse to turn it on on any of my systems and will always, always advise against turning it on to anyone who asks me.
I would recommend that you initially back up all your data to external media (either external hd or DVD-R) and then attempt to turn off FileVault. I purposely used the word attempt because, more often than not, even this can cause issues. If you are unable to turn FileVault off, indeed even if successful, I would recommend that you carry out an Erase and Install using your MacBook Pro's system disks.
In short, my message is ---- stay away from FileVault.
If you require to protect your files then the best way to achieve this is via Disk Utility and creating an encryted image. More details here:

New mac book pro OS issue?

I bought macbook pro 13 inches non retina model. Before buying on apple.com it mentioned tht OS is mavericks and quite a few apps free with mavericks like ilife etc. but whn i started the laptop it has 10.8.3.. Can i install free apps that comes with mavericks once i upgrade?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course, but I recommend you to accept the apps before upgrading. Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and accept them. If it does not let you accept them, upgrade to OS X Mavericks first and then accept them.
Before upgrading to OS X Mavericks, I would recommend you to install OS X 10.8.5 first in  > Software Update, so you can be sure the upgrade will go well.
The reason why your Mac came with OS X Mountain Lion is that it was manufactured before the OS X Mavericks release

Mac Book Pro Startup Issue

Well I just sent my mbp into Apple to fix an overheating/noise problem, and good ole Apple send it back to me dead. When the battery is in, with no A/C power, it will not respond at all. With the A/C power plugged in, it will get to the grey apple screen then instantly power down. The battery is charged and I went through all the suggested steps including resetting the PMU. I dont know what else to try, any suggestions?

The ten first steps i walked through for this problem are listed here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303234
After I went through all those with no sucess, I tried the hardware test, but the immediate shutdown happens before I can boot from the C.D. So I cant get a hardware test result.
As for just sending it in again, ive already been out a computer for a week, and if I sent it in it will definatley be another week until I see it again. And now im not even sure if I am guarenteed a working computer when it is sent back, so im pretty hesitant.
Thanks again for any insight you can give me on this, the effort is very much appreciated!

Mac Book Pro- Spacebar Issue

got my macbook about 3 weeks ago, and while I do love it, it has an annoying issue. This issue is not deal breaking in any way and actually almost never happens unless I intentionally try and make it happen. This issue is with the spacebar. When I push the spacebar on the very leftmost bottom corner, it wont aknowledge. Like I said, almost never happens, but when typing for an extended period of time, it may occur a few times which is annoying. Is this easily fixed?? I doubt they will replace it because of such a minor default, but I also dont want to have it shipped away for that same reason. Also, is anyone else having similar issues?

thanks guys, I appreciate your input. Apple told me it would be gone for 5 days, but 3 would be ideal as I do use it regularly for graphic assignments and what not. I suppose im a little aprehensive because I've shipped similar products out before from different manufacturer's for repairs, and upon their return, they had fresh new scratches on them :S

Syncing a new Mac Book Pro

I am wondering what is the easiest way to go about syncing new mac book pro with an iMac? (all itunes content and documents)
Also is there a way to have the imac & mac book pro sync'd in such a way that an iphone can be sync'd with both of them?

iTunes purchased content can be synced between computers using iTunes Home Sharing. (max 5 computers) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 explains how to setup & use Home sharing.
iOS devices, such as iphone, are designed to sync with one itunes account per syncing section. a section of syncing might be: music, photos, contacts, calendars, applications. syncing every thing using one computer is best; because there less chance to accidentally delete some thing.
You can how ever sync mobileme contacts, calendars, and mail between both of your computers and your iphone. If you don't have a mobileme account; you would need to purchase one at http://www.me.com/index.html .
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone_ipod.html explains how to setup mobile me on the iPhone
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/mac.html explains how to setup mobile me on your macs.
Mobile me also has a place you can put a few files online; where you can access them from your phone , your computers, and other people's computers. You can even remote control one of your macs from the other mac.
I hope this helps

My contacts randomly disappear on my mac book pro and my iphone 4. any thoughts?

I am having problems with my address book. I have my iphone4 and my mac book pro synced through icloud. no other users on my i.d.
It seems to be consistant with the adresses that are rarely used. They drop off after a certain time frame? Not sure whats happening. Please advise.

Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily all the issues here (re: iOS update). I have 7 devices that have stopped functioning within the last week and all of my devices have the latest iOS on them. I came to the forums to see what's available for help, but I'm guessing I'll need a trip to the local Genius Bar.
