BlackBerry Desktop Mananger for Mac Hangs

When I open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager on my Mac (10.5.8), it hangs and eventually crashes. This configuration has worked perfectly for the last couple years, but started hanging today.
I tried uninstalling, then reinstalling the Desktop Manager, but there was no change.
In my Console log, the following appears before it crashes:
Feb 28 22:42:53 Debras-MacBook-2 BlackBerry Desktop Software[266]: NSExceptionHandler has recorded the following exception:\nNSUncaughtSystemExceptionException -- Uncaught system exception: signal 10\nStack trace:  0xf9c21e  0x953a81cb  0xffffffff  0x9546775c  0x951d517a  0x9508d7e4  0x95114264  0x21234a  0x3af9  0x94ffc42a  0x94f1247a  0x94f12753  0x94ff9680  0x95002ed8
Please help!

Just playing around to see if I could try something different to figure out the "delete 25%" issue.  I noticed that you mentioned in your original post that you had set your BB to keep appointments forever.  Well I thought that I had done the same.  It turns out that I had not!  This evening I have set my new BB to keep appointments forever and I have had success in sync-ing.  I have made some test entries and they are working out OK so far without any hangups. I am reluctant to say that I have solved my problems with sync and Desktop mgr for Mac but I will try some things over the course of the next few days and see if I go forward problem free.  I will report again in a few days.  In the meantime, I am keeping my fingers crossed!

  • Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

    Hello All,
    Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11?  Or something equivalent?
    I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now.  The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
    Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
    Thank you.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

    I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
    "The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
    Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
    Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

    Hi choochoo2,
    Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

  • Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

    Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac not updating 9900

    Hi,
    please could someone assist me in this.
    I have a mac running the latest Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac. And a Bold 9900 on 7.0 bundle 1465. 
    The Blackberry Desktop Software says new update available 7.0.0.1672. So i proceed to update the blackberry. It says installing and reboots. But it still has the old version, and the Blackberry Desktop Software still says new version available. (7.0.0.1672) So im going in a loop.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hey luckyBB,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I noticed you listed your carrier as T-Mobile UK, this provider does not have the 9900 yet.  Can you explain what provider this 9900 is from so I can better assist in getting that bundle of software

  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac won't remember my sync preferences

    Each time I close BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac I and reopen it, I have to set all of my preferences for syncing my Calendar and Contacts again.  The software remembers my selections as long as I don't quit the application, but once I quit it and reopen it they are gone.
    I have tried deleting the plist files, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but nothing fixes this issue.
    This is happening on both of my MacBook Pros and with both of my BlackBerry devices.
    Both MacBook Pros are running 10.6.1 and I have a BlackBerry Tour running 4.7.1.40 and a BlackBerry Curve 8330m running 4.5.0.138.

    despite posts to the contrary there is a big compatibility problem with Apple LION and Blackberry Desktop manager.
    BB are pretending that the problemdoes not exist, but just look over all the boards here and elsewhere.
    Come on BLACKBERRY - sort it out
    YOUR SHARE PRICE AND SALES DATA ARE TELLING YOU THAT CUSTOMERS ARE VOTING WITH THEIR FEET. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE BB AS I USE THEM FOR MY BUSINESS.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

    ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing.  Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar".  How do I fix this?  I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program.  Help

    I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting:  Mac OS, device, device OS...
    Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC).  The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be.  Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
    On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL?  You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
    Now do you have more than one calendar?  In the DM how are you setting the sync?  Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device?  Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device?  Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager for Macs

    Have upgraded Microsoft Office on Mac from Entourage to Outlook: when will Blackberry software allow calendar to be synchronised with Outlook and not just Entourage?

    Hey gettingaround,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    You can synchronize the calendar in ICAL and Entourage.  However there is no ETA when calendar/tasks/memos will be available for synchronization for BlackBerry Desktop Software.

  • Blackberry desktop manager for mac not working

    Hi guys,
    New to Blackberry yesterday and hitting a few problems, wondered if anyone had any advice, any mac users a bonus.
    I installed the Desktop Manager from the CD that came with my Curve 3G onto my mac yesterday, that installed fine.
    I then connected my phone and loaded the application up, it backed up fine, but when I went to Applications it told me I needed to install the latest version.
    I went to the Blackberry site and downloaded it from there to make sure I had the latest version, although I'm sure they were the same builds as on the CD
    I uninstalled the one I installed from the CD and tried again with the one I downloaded from the Blackberry site, but  It still flags up the same error that this is not the latest version.
    I've had a quick browse on the net and it seems other mac users have had the same problems, does anybody have any ideas what's going on?
    Thanks
    Shaun

    I'm having what seems to be the same problem and it's driving me crazy.
    I just installed BlackBerry Desktop Software 2.0.0 (it's the only one I've ever had installed) and every time I open it and click "Applications' I get a window that says "A newer version of BlackBerry® Desktop Software is required to update the software on your device. Please download an updated version and retry."
    At the same time a "Install/Remove Applications" window opens behind this window but nothing is listed, then the window disappears and "Device update cancelled" appears in the bottom left corner.
    If I clicked to download the updated version before both windows disappeared, I get a "Download Progress" bar that says "Downloading updates. Please Wait."
    It eventually times out and I get a window that says "The update download failed with the following error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3003.)"
    Anyone with this problem found a resolution? I've been searching around for nearly 2 hours and nada.

  • Steps to take if BlackBerry is not shown as connected in Desktop Manager for Mac

    Hello Community,
    Here is a list of steps you should attempt to try and get your BlackBerry detected in Desktop Manager for Mac.
    1. Make sure you're using the most up to date BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac.  Which is available to download at http://www.blackberry.com/desktop
    2. If using a MacBook/MacBook Pro make sure the BlackBerry is plugged in the left USB port close to the screen.  If using a iMac make sure you use the USB ports on the Mac and not a USB hub.
    3. Make sure you're using a BlackBerry branded USB cord.  (There are usb cords out there for charging only).
    4. Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    5. Disable Media Transport Protocol on your BlackBerry smartphone. (Options>Memory)
    6. Make sure your Mac OS X 10.6 is running in 32-bit mode. KB Article.
    7. Make sure ALL other syncing software has been uninstalled and removed off your Mac.  KB Article.
    8. Perform a battery reset on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    9. Make sure your BlackBerry smartphone is not hour-glassing or have an application error appearing on the LCD screen. However if there is a JVM 507/513 error appearing on the BlackBerry the Desktop Manager for Mac will pick up the device and reload the software.
    10. Make sure "Open using Rosetta" is not running/disabled on Mac OS X. KB Article.
    I will be adding more tips and tricks to this post once I come across them.
    Feel free to share with other community members and I always welcome suggestions and comments.

    Hey burko74,
    Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, do you get prompt for mass storage mode?
    Also does the mac pick up the media card as a removable hard drive?
    Have you tried to do a battery reset as well?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 would not sync with Desktop Software for MAC

    When connecting my Bold 9900 to my MAC the Desktop Software opens correctly, phone is recognised and connected but the SYNC option is not available. I cannot click the Green sync button nor click the relevant sync button under the device tab.
    All answers would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi dimitrisuk,
    Welcome to the support community!
    Can you please verify that your synchronization settings have already been configured? This article should provide more information. "Unable to configure sync or click the sync icon due to the icons being greyed out in BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac" KB26367
    This link to the user guide provides the steps to verify that your synchronization settings have been configured. http://blck.by/14BZb5q

  • Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

    hi...
    I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync  - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
    please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
    thanks

    Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
    This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
    Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
    Look on the forum for additional details.
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)
