How do you apply a Blackberry Software Upgrade on Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard ??

Bell has issued a notice that all my blackberry users upgrade their software but they are all using Mac OS 10.4.11 Tiger or Leopard.
I understand that Blackberry Desktop Manager is windows-only software and Bell business support was unable to accomodate us. Anyone out there able to do this without windows-emulation software ? Is there Mac OS X compatible software coming in the future ? I need to advise users currently how to apply this and for the future can we stay tied to this as a mobile solution with no native software support ? Please advise any feasible workarounds ?

I really wish RIM would come out with a real BlackBerry Desktop equivalent for Mac, but right now I don't think there's any way you can do upgrades directly from your Mac without using Windows via emulation or BootCamp. Unfortunately, RIM's only official word about this that I can find is that upgrades are not supported on Mac (http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB13963). I use VMware for this.
Not exactly convenient, but maybe your carrier would do the upgrade for you at one of their stores.

Blackberry Storm 2 BBM & BIS in South Africa

Hi,
I recently bought the Blackberry Storm 2 online. I have been battling to connect it to BIS and Blackberry services here in South Africa. The phone works fine to make/receive calls on GSM network. I also an not use any of the network USSD codes on this phone. The phone will not allow me to setup my mail nor create any profile. Please assist.
Regards,

Although it is a verizon phone in order for it to work successfully ir has to be activated in the US. Even if you tried to manually program it you will be in the same boat that you are in now.
Sorry bud.

WARNING - Software Upgrade 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and texts

I installed Blackberry software upgrade 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 yesterday on my Torch 9860 and when it had completed and installed and uploaded, more than 90% of my text messages had been erased (over 120 SMS messages from friends and family). I am realy annoyed that Blackberry did not warn this would happen before I installed it or I would have backed them up first. Does anyone know how to retrieve SMS texts or have they disappeared forever??

URGENT Vodafone "vodacom" blackberry service stopped Working in CDMA phones in WHOLE South africa

customers using CDMA devices like storm 9530,tour 9630 ....can not use blackberry service due to vodafone "vodacom" netWork issues !!!!!!
it looks like they have removed CDMA device identifiers for their BB service books, so any time a CDMA device attempts to re-register with the network (such as after an update), they cannot do so. and they blame it on the cdma phones ...........
here is vodacom comment regarding the issue:
VODAFONE WANTS US TO BUY NEW PHONES....!!!!!!
On behalf of Vodacom, kindly accept our sincere apology for the manner in which your enquiry was dealt with and for any inconvenience caused.
The Blackberry device you are using is a Blackberry CDMA device.
Blackberry CDMA devices are brought to South Africa from foreign networks.
Blackberry CDMA devices are experiencing problems with the Blackberry service due to the incompatibly of these CDMA devices with our GPRS/3G Networks.

BlackBerry Q10 bluetooth issues since software upgrade

I have a BBQ10 and a chevy sonic with mylink. UP until Monday night they paired fine everything worked and then I had a software upgrade on my BlackBerry. It installed just fine no issues there. Now when I try to make/receive calls while using bluetooth in the car my phone has to be using speaker. Handset doesn't work, nor does bluetooth. The first time I start car up and the devices pair I can get the bluetooth to ask me "what would u like to do" I can get all the way to connecting to the call. As soon as call is connected it tells me it's going into private mode. This is the point where only the speaker on the phone itself will work. I can not talk via bluetooth or "handset" speaker only or I don't hear people but they hear me. I know it's not an issue with the mylink in car I paired my mum's bold and everything works as it should. Suggestions?
Solved!

Problem solved. Changed phone name. Deleted pairing between phone and car bluetooth rebooted phone turned car off and back on. Repaired devices and seems to be fine now

BlackBerry Pearl 9105 track pad fault following software upgrade

Since 22 Feb 2015 track pad and buttons like camera no longer work within most applications. Seems to be directly related to faulty automatic software upgrade that so many users are complaining about. Track pad works for 10 minutes after each hard reset, then stops working again. Please can BlackBerry resolve urgently, as phone is now practically useless.

Okay. So not an OS upgrade. Sounds like you are talking about BlackBerry Protect and it is set to perform a backup on a weekly interval. Or else you are connecting to the Desktop Software and it is set to perform a backup weekly.
It is likely the problems occurring around the time of a backup is coincidence. Not saying 100% it isn't somehow related to something you did, just it probably didn't happen because of a backup.
So here are some thoughts: The trackpad starts working again after a hard reset. Again, there could be more involved, but this fact suggests it is possible the issue could be software. Here is what I would do.
1) Do a full backup.
2) Do a clean OS reinstall. See http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
3) Perform the setup and log in with Blackberry ID as necessary. Do not restore backup. Do not install add-on or third-party apps.
4) Test for a while, for an hour or so if possible. Hopefully there is no problem. If there is, try a hard reset and see if that corrects the problem. It isn't good news if the problem still occurs and is corrected with a hard reset, but it may be useful information to a technician.
5) Assuming there is no problem in step 4, restore the backup. Again, test for a while. Launch apps, browse around in device settings, put the device through paces. Hopefully there is no problem. If there is, then it's a reasonable suspicion that the problem is associated with corrupt data or settings in the backup. So, if there are problems in this step, do a security wipe and do a selective restore and restore personal data such as address book and calendar, but not settings and customizations. Test again.
6) Install apps, most needed first, one at a time. Test before installing the next app. If you have the problems after installing the app, delete the app and test.
Good luck. Recognize that it is very possible the track pad and buttons are failing or have failed. I'm sure repairs can be made, but I'm not one to best advise on that. There are DIY videos and so forth on the Web, and some parts vendors provide instructions. Another option is to find a shop and get a diagnosis and estimate, provided the cost is reasonable.

My iPad has a software problem within the first year, but I am in South Africa.

My iPad has a software problem within the first year. When I bought it, I took an Apple care plan with it. At the moment I am in South Africa for my internship and when I go to a premium reseller, they are not able to fix my iPad or change it because they say that they are not an official Apple store. What should I do now? I stay here till the end of December and I would like to use it during my internship.

We're regular users like you and know no secret magick Apple engineer incantation. If you care to detail what the problem is, we will do our best to help.

Phone not working after the software upgrade

I performed the software upgrade as indicated by the phone in the notifications.
One the phone rebooted, I proceeded to enter my email accounts and it froze on a white screen with a spinning wheel.
I rebooted and it continued to freeze.
I took the battery out, rebooted, still can't add email accounts. It freezes in the setting section. I actually can't change any settings.
If I reply to a text, the screen freezes black.
If I try to reply to an email, the screen says, "Could not display this message"
I have wiped it three times, powered off a billion times and still keeps freezing. The update has been nothing but grief.
Any advice??

Hello 2canoes and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your device after updating your software.
It's recommended you contact your mobile service provider for investigation on this matter and to open a support ticket with BlackBerry technical support.
Thanks!

Problems with new software upgrade to 6.0 bundle 2534 v6.0.0.570

Hi - I hope someone can help me with this:
I synchronised my Bold 9700 with my desktop yesterday and the desktop manager requested I complete a software upgrade for the device.
When my BB 9700 had fully rebooted from this process, there was a completely different interface and many of my settings had changed. I have not had enough time to fully explore all the changes, but the most annoying is the loss of my "classic ring tone". I have gone into the menu for ring tones, which seems to have slimmed down considerably from the previous version. The new set of ring tones are not to my liking and there is nothing like my old ring tone available. The nearest one rings only once and the volume is insufficient - I have already missed several calls as a result.
I am with O2 via Carphone Warehouse, whose customer support were unable to assist yesterday.
Grateful for any advice as to how I can get my ringtone back - and also curious to know why BB think the new ring tones are good enough for this new release. They are sub-standard in my opinion.
Many thanks

ITunes Store: South Africa: Why is the store so limited?

Why is the store so limited with available Apps? Facebook Apps like Zynga games is unavailable. Angry birds is available from Blackberry for crying out loud but not iTunes South Africa.

This has been covered in many other threads. As reported by another SA user, Apple and the SA government are negotiating over how to apply Apple's iTunes Store age ratings to the SA regulations so as to allow more apps to be sold in the SA iTunes Store. Where those negoiations stand I don't know.
Regards.

Does anyone know when the "new" iPad will be available in South Africa?

Hi
I'm not really sure where this should be posted. I know that there are two releases of the new iPad scheduled, one on the 16th of March, and one at the end of the month. But SA isn't on either of those lists. There is a huge demand for and support of Apple products in South Africa. I own the iPad 2, but now that I've seen what the new pad is capable of, I can't wait to upgrade!

All anyone on here knows is what Apple has published...only thing to do is wait for a release announcement.

HT2693 I am in South Africa I have a A1219 ipad using ios 5 1 how can I update it? I cant get Whatsapp?

I have a ipad A1219 that uses ios5.1 iwant to upgrade it to use latest ios? I am trying to dowload "Whatsapp" I can not download they say the app is not available in South Africa, please help me!

Model A12129 is the first gen iPad, it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1 - you cant install iOS 6+ on it
The developers of Whatsapp have not made a version for iPads, it can only be installed on iPhones.
