Blackberry link and Hackintosh with OSX 10.8.2

Hi First of all, I could not make BB link work with my Macbook 13" retina display, or an older white Macbook. It would not find Iphotos, had problems backing up, a real mess. It sort of worked with a PC running window 8. But it was not the machine I use most of the time. But then, not wanting to feel defeated by software, I completely rebuild a Hackintosh PC with new MoBo, CPU, ram and video, and installed Mac OS 10.8.2 on it. Bought and downloaded iPhotos ($19.00) from the mac store, and miracle, the Z10 linked right away with the PC/Mac, did find iTunes , and copied files. back-up.....etc.....

    Make sure your system software is up to date.
    Click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...
    And try troubleshooting Flash. Uninstall then reinstall.

  • Is there a way to sync my blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    I still use my blackberry and am not giving it up so quickly...but in the months Ive been using my iPad it has definitely become an alternative at times.
    Therefore is there a way tp sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

    You three would do better to sync to google directly.  Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars.  The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
    Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
    As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time.  If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

  • Blackberry Link for Q10 with Outlook Sync has very poor performanc​e and not good Functional​ity

    I am wondering if anyone has tested this software. Blackberry Sync software for my previous phones were wonderful. I can sync my contacts and calender in a very short time. With this new Blackberry Link it takes about 1 1/2 hours Plus to complete. And when it does complete - it duplicates entries which I did not want.
    Plus what is missing is the following:
        1. I am not able to say Update both Device and Outlook any longer. This functionality is gone.
    My question: How does it do a two way sync if I only have a choice to use what I have on my phone or on outlook only
    I want to be able to update my Outlook contacts with changes and addition I made on my Q10 phone and update my device with changes I made to Outlook.
    Why did Blackberry remove this very flexible choice? Plus Blackberry Link has very poor performance.
    I work for a large company and I do Enterpirse Software testing daily. Performance is the number one complaint for customers on top of the UI and functionality.

    Thanks for the reply.

    A thing I noticed when I opened Descktop Software for the first time since the new Z30 is that the old application thinks it is looking for a Z30.  I havent even opened the application since before I got the new device.  The only way it could think I have a Z30 is if it is using a lot of the same files as Blackberry Link.   That is some pretty terrible software development practices in my opinion.  I'm going to take your suggestion and uninstall both apps, run a registry cleaner and reinstall BB Link and I bet it works a lot better afterwards.  
    EDIT 12 March 2014 7PM EST
    Still all of the same errors with regard to syncing outlook contacts and Schedules.  I will post all of the error messages I recieve here as I see them.  Application is always started by connecting device with USB cable.
    "Sync was unseccessful
    Caught _com_error exception. Description(): Error in MAPILogonEx: MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED; Error(): -2147467259 (0x80004005); ErrorMessage(): Unspecified error; Source(): XCPCRdmptn.RdRDOSession"
    REBOOT
    Change to sync contacts only, 1-way sync to computer, always use device data
    "Sync was unsuccessful
    CPreferencesManager: Configuration Value for /Preferences/Account_1_65537/DevicePin not set in TransConfig.xml for translator RimBB"
    REBOOT
    Application went through the whole process and hung for about 15 minutes and then completed successfuly syncing contacts only.
    Change to callendar only.  Sync completed successfuly.  No hang or errors. very quick.
    A new recurring appointment on the device was not transferred to the computer.  
    Sync callendar again, completed successfuly.
    Appointment is still not transferred to computer.
    So far I've spent an hour tonight trying to sync my contacts and appointment changes from just one day.  I'm not thrilled.

  • BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alon​e desktop installati​on of Outlook 2010?

    I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
    Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
    Here is why:
    "Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
    From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
    This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
    I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails,  numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus. 
    I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

    my feelings and my situation excatly

  • New User question re BlackBerry Link and Z10 -- can you really reach the computer from the Z10 remotely - how remote?

    I am slowly getting there re use and exploring this and that.  Now, I want to know can I really reach my laptop which has BlackBerry Link on it, and my Z10 has all been set up to it, etc., remotely?  I know it can within the same household network, but what about from another network?  Surely it can't do that.  Sorry about the dumb question.
    I have unclicked  the connection for the time being as I don't want to lose the phone and have someone grabbing my computer stuff!

    Hi janetnewuser,
    Any BlackBerry smartphone accessing your computer would be required to be using the same BlackBerry ID you are signed into BlackBerry Link with. You can access files over any Wi-Fi or the mobile network. Your PC must be powered on with BlackBerry Link running for you to access files on it.
    This article should provide more information on the security of this feature. "About the security for the BlackBerry Remote File Access feature in BlackBerry Link" http://blackberry.com/btsc/KB34573
    You may also find some of the BlackBerry 10 security tips in this blog post useful for securing your information. http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/04/five-tip-fr​iday-blackberry-10-security-tips/

  • Z10 phone not appearing on BlackBerry Link and contacts not transferred

    Hi
    I have loaded BlackBerry Link onto my Laptop and, plugged in my phone and it picked it up the first time. Subsequent attempts do not show the phone, How do I resolve it?
    When I initially did a sync - it downloaded my outlook calender, but it said that no contacts were found - even though I have hundreds ? Any ideas why?
    Thanks

    None? I guess mine and so many others who love the way it works (because -- yes, the hardware AND the software do work) are the anomaly.
    Do you realize it is completely acceptable to not like the device without silly, blatantly untrue and flaming comments like that? It really is ok for you to say you don't like it, and just walk away.
    And, you're always welcome to ask questions and get help here in this forum. Or, to all and get technical support which you are paying O2 for ... personally, I would demand it.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A little more info would help, such as do you have a PC or Mac ?
    What is your computer OS ?
    Assuming you have a PC, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, see if there are any yellow exclamation marks.
    If there are click the + to expand, right click the driver and choose update.
    If that does not work you can try these:  https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...

    - I'd like to automatically launch an urxvt term at startup and connect to an irssi screen session on a remote server (via ssh).
    I tried : urxvt -e "ssh user@remote -t irc" where irc is an alias on the remote server that attach the irssi screen session. The problem is that with this command, urxvt opens and close immediately. I then tried to add the -hold option and various combination of "bash -c" I saw on the forum but nothing worked...
    - And finally, how can I use nautilus-open-terminal to open a urxvt term in a specific folder ? I set the correct entries in dconf-editor and followed the wiki page but it doesn't work...
    Thanks

    I had similar but different issues regarding this.  Now, i have 256 color support in whatever terminal/ssh/screen session I'm in.
    The relevant config lines:
    .Xdefaults:
    XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
    URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color
    .vimrc
    " 256 colors only if you can handle it
    if $TERM =~ "-256color"
    set t_Co=256
    colorscheme zenburn
    endif
    .screenrc
    # term
    term xterm-256color
    # main options
    altscreen on
    attrcolor b ".I"
    defbce "on"
    # some termcaps
    termcapinfo xterm-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
    termcapinfo rxvt-256color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
    note: this setup caused an issue where background colors in mutt/htop inside screen did not extend passed the line's text.  i had to solve that via this workaround.

  • Can i run and work with OSX 10.3.9 on an external hard drive???

    Hi There all,
    I'm getting a 250gb External firewire HDD, i want to do this:
    I want to install Tiger on my PowerBook's HDD, But everything i've got on it now with Panther is perfect, but some of the software is'nt compatible with Tiger, so i was hoping i could save everything (Panther, Software & files) on to the external HDD and when i want to use panther through the External drive and have tiger on the internal drive, so effectively have to useable OS's, the reason i need to upgrade is to use the latest FCEHD.
    Any help much appreciated.
    - Mike

    Hi Niel,
    So say the space used on my PowerBook is 55Gb, if i make a Partition on the External drive that's about 80GB, can i then, use Panther through the External drive and add to it aswell, but keep the rest of the drive for use in tiger, if that makes sense.
    thanks for the quick reply

  • Mackbook running slow and hot with osx lion

    Does anyone else have the same issue with Lion on their macbook or know what to do to sort it?
    My macbook takes for ever to start and open apps (sit looking at the beach ball for ages waiting for web browser to open and I've tried the lated versions of Chrome and Firefox - all the same). the same issue with most apps espeacially itunes.
    Also the cooling fan seems to run overtime now and a lot harder than when snow leopard was installed (I can't remember hearing the fan running) and can the open apps which were open when the mac is shut down be disabled once and for all or do you have to check the box every time?

    Hello, i had Link installed since few months working correctly.

Usually, when i was connecting with USB, a pop screen appears asking for password but it is not thé case anymore. It does recognize That is connecting since it does open bblink but not when it is openned. There is no Way to get thé password screen to connect my q10. I hâve tried to desinstall And reinstall BlackBerry Link And now i CAn't even load thé software anymore. An error And it does uninstall everything again. Did tried via BlackBerry website And also with thé USB connecting my q10 directly. Thaïs Way is even worst since it does not even load.

  • Failure to sync contacts and calendar from Outlook through BlackBerry Link after update

    Hi everyone,
    I have both z10 and z30. I have been syncronizing my Outlook contacts and calendars to both of them through Blackberry Link. My z10 automatically updated several days ago and I lost everythiing on the phone including contacts, calendar, texts, phots, etc. And then the same thing happend to my z30...
    Now I am trying to sync my Outlook contacts and calendars to them through Blackberry Link as I always did but it turned out unsuccessful. It stops at 'Getting status from Blackberry calendar' and it also pops out a message saying 'BLACKBERRY-7D1B Sync was unsuccessful. An error has occurred during an attempt to access to device data.'
    I already tried to reinstall Blackberry Link and reset my phones but neither of these worked out.
    Please help. Thank you!

    This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
    In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!
