Blackberry 8130 sync compatibility with Mac

I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on my Mac OS 10.4.11 and am considering getting a Blackberry 8130 in order to sync contacts, calendar, etc between computer and phone, plus run e-mail. I am aware of previous difficulties using software programs to allow a seamless transfer. Which software programs are recommended to sync from Mac Palm Desktop to blackberry 8130? Is there another phone that is more suitable or should I download Mac Outlook or use Apple Addressbook and iCal? I am impressed with the 8130 but am leary of previous comments regarding incompatibility issues. Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone heard from Blackberry on this topic as yet?
I am having the same problem, my Q10 doesnt sync with my Mac Contact Address Book. The BBlink says its syncing but nothing happens. I updated all the software, running 10.2.1.537 on the device and BlackBerry Link is 1.2.0 (build 17)
PLEASE ADVISE

Blackberry 8330 Syncing Contacts with Mac Desktop Address Book

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with PocketMac. I have been able to sync my calendar with iCal, and Tasks, but PocketMac never finishes the sync with the Contacts. I left it on all night and it still hadn't finished. I finally have to cancel the operation. I'm not getting any error messages; the sync just never completes. Any ideas? Could it be that the changes to the Address Book will really take 24 hours or longer to complete? Thanks for any and all help!

Photoshop Elements 6 compatibility with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Has anyone tested PSE 6's compatibility with Mac OS X Lion?
Thanks in advance.

It's Intel based so it should work.

Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
Please review the discussion in the following thread
Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
Thank you.

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

Powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:

More Torch sync errors with Mac iCal

I have read the thread at the bottom of my post below and am having the following sync problems with iCal
1 Duplication of iCal entries in the Torch calendar
2 iCal entries with the all-day box checked appear as all-day items in the Torch calendar, but not with the all-day box ticked there
3 iCal entries in the 8 different calendars there are all transferred to a single Torch calenda (which is what I want and expect), except for iCal entries from 1 April 2014 to the present day in one calendar only. How can I get these to transfer too?
4 I have successfully merged various Torch calendars and now have almost all the calendar entries in a single Torch calendar, the gmail calendar which is set as the calendar to which all new entries go, but is not set to sync wirelessly. However there seems to be another calendar on the Torch just called the default calendar with about 400 entries in it. I do not know how to merge the gmail calendar and the default calendar or even whether I need to or not as I do not know how to work out what the 400 entries are, as opposed to the 3000 or so entries in the gmail calendar.
I have tried the various options using Blackberry Destop Software 2.4 including "Syncing All events" and "Replace all calendar events on this Blackberry device".
Two further questions on those options:
Should "Sync all events" leave the events in iCal and the Torch Calendar absolutely identical?
Does or should "Replace all events on this Blackberry device" delete all existing events on the Blackberry and then faithfully copy all events from iCal to the Blackberry?
Experience suggests the answer is no to both questions, but I suspect the answer should be yes.
I would be most grateful for any and all help on this.

Syncing Storm with Mac with PocketMac

I can't sync iCal with my BB Storm 9530 using PocketMac. It doesn't find my Storm when I plug in the USB cable. I previously had a BB Curve and it synced up just fine. But the Storm is not syncing. Help!!!!

Hello Blueline,
Are you getting any sort of errors when you try to synchronize your device and the computer? My initial thought is that your PocketMac version might be out of date or the newer drivers will need to be installed on the Mac in order for PocketMac to see your device.
This thread might help you out, assuming you know where to download the PocketMac software and the updates for it (if not, here is the software link).

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

Logic Pro 9.0.2. compatability with Mac OS Lion

My old Mac crashed and I had to get a new one. Now my Logic Pro 9.0.2. version which was fully compatible with Snow Leopard, for some reason does not want to work with the new Mac OS Lion. Is there any way around getting an upgrade to get this program working again? Thanks!

Hi
You need to download and install an updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Logic 9.1.5 and up is compatable with Lion.
