Blackberry 8700 and Pocketmac

Help? I downloaded the Pocketmac software and when I tried to install it - it informed me that I wasn't authorized? What should I do? Should I have installed the disc that was included with the Blackberry first? AND will it synch with MacMail or do I need to use Entourage mail? Thanks for any help you can lend - I am a new Mac user as well....

Would that be the FREE final? I thought not.
It's nice to know that you like the preview release of the Missing Sync for Blackberry and that you have been pleased historically with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, but uh - enough already. Mining this forum for opportunities to post generally incomplete or incorrect information isn't particularly helpful to anyone, except possibly you. Maybe that's the point.
If it is, you might want to take a look at that landing page in your Public Profile if you intend to attract any positive attention to your support services. You might also want to review the Terms of Use regarding the activity you're presently engaged in in this forum.
Oh: did I mention that you're becoming somewhat obnoxious?

  • Blackberry 8700 email account

    I have just obtained a Blackberry 8700 and have a Vodaphone Pay-as-you-go sim card. When I try to add my email account I just have a choice between:
    I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server
    I want to skip email setup
    I have tried googling and got advice to download BIS software. I found software downloads on the BlackberryFAQ site and downloaded what I thought was the correct package for my platform. but when I tried to setup from the PC it said there was no suitable software included.
    What else do I need to do? Do I need a BIS account from the service provider?
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry 8700 sync issues with ical using pocketmac

    Hi,
    I have a Blackberry 8700, which I am syncing with my Powerbook G4 using Pocketmac Blackberry edition.
    It is all fine apart from one thing- sometimes (but not always!) when syncing with ical it will leave the notes off of the end of the appointment.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know of any fixes?

    I have a different problem syncing my Blackberry with Ical. My Ical shows several "Pocketmac" in the calendar on the left and Ical takes forever to activate. This happens both to my powerbook G4 and on my Imac G5.

  • I have a Blackberry 8330 and a MacBook. For some reason I started having connectivity issues. The handheld will not sync with the computer via pocketmac. I have uninstalled, etc 15 times. Please help

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

  • BLACKBERRY 8700 on O2

    I have recently purchased a 2nd hand BLACKBERRY 8700, I am trying to get it setup using my O2 sim card on Pay As you Go... I need to get my BBM working, and also access the internet.... I have no idea where to change my settings and how to get a web browser on the phone etc?
    Can anyone help?

    Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
    You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • How do I use hotmail via Blackberry services and not via phone network so not using up my data?

    Hi,
    I have a new Blackberry 9360 and am having trouble with it. They said in the shop that I can access my yahoo mail without using up my 250mb of internet data, so can access it using the Blackberry services rather than the internet. I can't work out how to do this and can only seem to use the email through the internet where the messages come into my 'Messages' on the 'Home' screen, therefore I'm using up my data every time I open an email message when it comes in.
    Can anyone please help me as I'm wishing I could go back to Nokia at the mo!
    Many thanks.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.
    They gave me the impresssion in the shop that I could access my existing yahoo hotmail, send and receive messages on it for free via the BlackBerry services and not use up my data allowance and they didn't mean the Blackberry email which is a different thing. Have they misled me with this?
    Many thanks for any advice.

  • I have one blackberry id and two blackberry's but can only receive e-mails on one device!

    Hi all,
    I have a problem! I have one blackberry id and two blackberry. I have given my old blackberry to my wife.
    I have just setup my new phone but whilst setting up my e-mails on my new phone we have noticed that the e-mails have been transferred to my new phone but have stopped working on my old phone.
    The odd thing is my wife had a previous blackberry and we were able to both get the company e-mails on each phone.
    The message that appears when e-mails have been transferred to the new phone is there is another device registered to this blackberry id and only one device can receive e-mail.
    How can I unregistered my old phone from the blackberry id and re-register it under my wife's details and hopefully receive the e-mails on both phones?
    Please help as its vital for the business.
    Cheers Nick

    Hi woodbe and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    The BlackBerry ID is only designed to work on one device at a time. Your wife can sign up for a new BlackBerry ID by going to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid.  Also, to receive email on her device, she will have to have a BlackBerry data plan configured with your wireless network provider as well.
    To change the BlackBerry ID on her device, you can back it up using the BlackBerry Desktop Software, then perform a security wipe from Options>Security.  Upon the reboot, sign in with the new BlackBerry ID, then you can restore the data using the BlackBerry Desktop Software again.
    Thanks.

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • BlackBerry PlayBook and Internet Explorer?

    I am a small business owner and Mac user. My business, however, uses a website that works only with Internet Explorer. In the past I have needed to have a small notebook PC in order to access the site and it is time to get a new computer. 
    I really would like to check out the new BlackBerry PlayBook and will definitely buy one tomorrow (or Tuesday?)  IF it is possible to use IE on it! I really don't want to spend the money for a PC which would be used only for one purpose (I use my iMac for all other computer needs and my BlackBerry 9780 Bold for a phone. Microsoft stopped supporting Macs after version 5 or 6 of IE so that is the ONLY reason I have a PC.)
    Oh please please PLEASE tell me that IE will be compatible with the new tablet!?
    Anybody know? If not, might as well get an iPad -AND a new notebook PC -AND a new iMac, right?

    Do you know why ? There are only two reasons:
    either the website uses ActiveX scripts, and in that case you are out of luck
    or the webmaster is simply lazy to convert the website to the W3 and ECMA standards, and in that case you can try and convince them. Once that is done, your website will work on any browser including Safari, Opera, MozillaFirefox and InternetExplorer.

    }now keep in mind, I took this from a nice little example MIDlet called DemoMidlet inside the BlackBerry JDE
    so it's not like they didn't make an effort. I mean I pretty much took it out of their examples located in
    C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0\samples\com\rim\samples\device\midletdemo
    but lets face it...some of us like to use the Canvas Class...so showing us how to use it with a Form not exactly helpful.
    All I did was the same thing it's just I made a canvas, and implemented the CommandListener, then swapped their form for my canvas.
    It freaking worked like a charm. I mean I didn't really use that alert stuff...as it wasn't necessary, but it's a nice demo to learn from.
    Part 2: The Escape Key!
    The first and only problem I noticed when porting over to the blackberry was the lack of certain keys
    that I truly enjoy and need. I guess blackberry decided to just not implement them
    into the MIDlet canvas class?
    I mean they did a great job at figuring out how to map the entire qwerty keyboard, but when it comes to the Escape Key
    good luck!
    So after tearing my hair out I found a solution...which i'm guessing everyone else also found but i'm posting this
    cuz well..what if you're tearing your hair out right now...calm down take a deep breaths this is currently working on the BB 9000
    jde emulator.
    First of all I know this sucks but if you want to use that lovely escape key you're going to have to implement the BB KeyListener.
    I know WTF MAN!? "first i code the whole thing using keylistener/commandlistener now I gotta use some stupid BB KEYLISTENER!?...just who does blackberry think they are?"
    well heres the thing, I tore my hair out for like 12 hours straight trying to get around this...but after giving it a rest it's not such a big deal.
    Steps
    1) you have to grab the blackberry net_rim_api, and add it to your wireless toolkit.
    the path is:
    C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar
    what I did was copied the file and pasted it into
    C:\WTK2.5.1\lib\ext
    once you have that inside your ext folder in your project settings you can enable the external package, this way you can build
    using the RIM API.
    in case you wanta take a glance at that headache it's : http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/4.5.0api/index.html
    to enable it simply open up wtk, go to project/settings/External API's and check it off...take note that the wtk 2.5 generally comes with
    Nokia SNAP Mobile API so i'm guessing it's a normal thing to do with MIDlets. Also if you check off Bundle..that's not too good it includes the API
    with your package...which is really only helpful if you're trying to include some of that junk which really isn't necessary as the reason we're doing this in the first
    place is cuz blackberry wanted to be cool and have their own proprietary keys....
    Anyways check that off and continue to step 2.
    Implementing Key Listener with the Canvas Class! :-)
    2) This part is so easy...
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
    public class myCanvas extends Canvas implements CommandListener,KeyListener{
    String thekey = "no key pressed yet";
      public myCanvas() {
    Application.getApplication().addKeyListener(this);
    public void paint(Graphics g){
    g.setColor(255,255,255);
    g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
    g.setColor(0,0,0);
    g.drawString(thekey,0,0,Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
    public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int time)
                    thekey = String.valueOf(keycode);
                    repaint();
                return false;
            public boolean keyRepeat(int keycode, int time)

      ///YOU DON'T NEED THIS! I just left it here, in case you wanted to also use the blackberry menu to do stuff...in this case
    //well the command is shown...and it calls the run method of the class you add the command to. My previous example
    // used the command GO, and i made a private class...so this would cause the run method to execute when the user hits enter on go.     
         // if ( c instanceof Runnable )
              //  ((Runnable)c).run();
    }i'm gonne be honest with you, the function public boolean keyChar()
    I don't know if that actually works...I just don't want to recompile without it cuz I just got over this headache..so I left it there.
    According to most people you use that to check if the key == Characters.ESCAPE and if it does then you do some stuff.
    Also you don't need the command listener, I just left it in there because well..if you're like me and you use the blackberry menu, you're pretty much
    going to use the CommandListener on your canvas to check to see if the user hit enter on a menu item.
    The function that matters here, is the same function Midlet coders are used to.
    instead of keyPressed it's simply keyDown
    so basically you're importing the package
    import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
    which allows you to implement blackberry's keyListener which gives you access to all the keys vs. a limited amount of them.
    now blackberry went all out as you can see. You have to have keyDown, keyUp, keyRepeated...it's kinda rediculous.
    but no worries, as long as you make sure that Display.setCurrent(yourcanvas);
    or you use one of those to give the canvas control...you'll be fine.
    It works because in the method for creating myCanvas()
    or whatever canvas you'll be using, it calls Application.getApplication.addKeyListener(this);
    and that little command gives your canvas the ability to listen for blackberry keys such as escape.
    the current code will start displaying the keycodes for each key...and apparently keys such as ESCAPE
    can be labeled properly. I love this because I can map the hang up call key to destroy my midlet, or even the escape key.
    Unfortunately every keycode displayed is in like unicode or some stupid format, so that's my guess as to why the Escape key is not detected by the normal
    canvas keyPressed method.
    Anyways you're done this should work...now if you're having trouble using canvas and you're like "but I don't use canvas" idk man...
    I use canvas...cuz I think programs should look cool. I'm sure this works without the canvas...on a form or something.
    But don't be fooled, you're not limited to KeyListener, you can also use TrackWheelEvent and all kinds of stuff. So just like the choices for CommandListener vs. keyPressed
    Blackberry has other choices as well.
    And they said merging the API's was a bad idea...shucks, how else are we supposed to use the freaking escape key.

    P.S. I marked this as a question cuz I want people to really take a look at this. Make some comments, I love this forum
    and I really feel that this topic is not covered on the internet. A lot of naysayers, and when I found the solution I was like "that's it"
    "that's all I had to do?" "well then wheres the freaking tutorial!
    seriously people had me thinking I had to extend the blackberry UI when this is all I had to do..such an easy task
    that other people claim is ridiculously hard.
    Go ahead make your comments, lemme know if you know something I don't, i'm here to learn! :-)

    good writeup, however i found this only working when you're not running fullscreen
