There are two things that should really be put forward in this post.
First, this is not a final candidate of Media Sync, but a "Preview Version". In other words, I'm assuming it's Beta.
Second, the following cannot be stated clearly enough: "After installing the Preview Version of BlackBerry® Media Sync, other software previously used to synchronize data with your Mac®, such as PocketMac® for BlackBerry® devices or Missing Sync, will no longer be able to connect to your device and will not work until BlackBerry® Media Sync is uninstalled."
I like Media Sync. It works with my Bold and I can import my iTunes playlists. What I don't understand is why it would, by its installation, nullify other applications like PocketMac which are just as important (if not much, much more). What's the point if installing one cancels-out the other? Is this being corrected? What is BlackBerry/RIM's development timeline on this software (ie. when can we expect a finished version which works with other applications)?

Does media sync for mac not work?

Hello,
I have repeatedly downloaded media sync, and I cannot transfer pictures off of my girlfriend's 8530 curve? Anyone else experience this? If so, how did you get around it?
Since all the documentation is for the PC, I'm thinking RIM is trying to pull a fast one on Mac users.

I don't have a mac, but look at these articles and see if this helps:

BB Media sync for mac not working properlty

I posted once before about something else and nobody responded. Maybe this time.
When using the bb desktop software yesterday I set the
Media/Music settings to "sync music" and "selected songlists" I only checked one songlist that contained 3 songs.
Well- BB desktop synced my entire iTunes collection (or at least attempted to but there was not enough space on bb). Now I am unable to get the songs off of my bb.
I tried re-syncing after de-selecting "sync music" but it didn't remove the songs.
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

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!

I finally managed to get hold of a tech support guy at RIM and to be fair, he was excellent. He talked through the problem with me and basically fixed it - I now feel like an expert!
I will be happy to post the advice he gave me on here if anyone wants me to, though right now I'm rushing a little - tomorrow.

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.

Just so everyone knows, this does not apply to the Mac version.
Gambit - why are you posting this here? After going through the hoops it plainly says on the download page that it's the same "Preview Version" as was released in December.
It's misleading to post news of Media Sync 2.0 here when Mac-BlackBerry users haven't even been provided with a stable version of Media Sync 1.0 !
"We hope you enjoy this software and look forward to making a full release available to you in the future"

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.
Hillman

BlackBerry Media Sync has encountered a problem and needs to close

I have been trying to sync my BB Curve with Media Sync and am continually receiving the same error message, "BlackBerry® Media Sync has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have tried restarting the computer, insalling and reinstalling, MediaSync, Desktop Manager and iTunes. All these actions seem to be ineffectivei n syncing music to my Curve via Media Sync and I keep receiving the same error message. I am able to manually move music from iTunes onto my Memory Card in the E: Drive. Any assistance in troubleshooting Media Sync would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

8120 Media Sync - "Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync"

I got a new (refurbished from ebay) Pearl 8120. I just downloaded the newest Desktop Manager and Media Sync software. The Desktop Manager works fine with the Pearl. The 8GB microSDHC card was formatted and has worked fine in the phone so far. However, when I try to use the Media Sync software, I get this error:
"Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync. Please check that
(1) a memory card is installed correctly in your Blackberry device
(2) mass storage mode is turned on for your blackberry device."
I have checked both these things. I have tried running the program in XP compatibility mode and as administrator. Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone as a mass storage device (is it supposed to?). I can always use my card reader to put files on my card, but I'd like to be able to use the Media Sync software.
My OS is version 4.5.0.124
edit: Now it sometimes tells me "You need to turn on mass storage mode from the connected Blackberry Device and click Retry. This may require you to reconnect your device."
In my settings I have Mass Storage Mode Support: On. Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: Yes.
I've reconnected the device and everything. I've reloaded the card and restarted the phone. Media Sync still gives me errors and Windows still doesn't see the phone as a mass storage device.

Hi, a simple solution is to take out humbly your previous phone from the closet (or thrashbin), put the microSD card into it and connect it to PC again. And you thought you would never use it again once you have that "awesome" Blackberry... :-)
I did this with my Nokia 6120. Also works with any standard microSD reader.

Blackberry Media Sync

Some songs from my play list in Itunes will not sync into my Blackberry Curve, they are purchased songs. When I look at the song in the Media Sync play list there is a small lock on it. How do I remove lock so I can transfer the song?

Hi,
You have some songs that have Digital Rights Management protection.
Read the attached article.
"Files that are not compatible with the BlackBerry smartphone media
application or files controlled by DRM technologies cannot be copied."

Blackberry Media Sync with itunes

Ok so i downloaded the media sync for my bb8320 and when i tried to put songs on they said that the songs were "protected (digital rights managment)". How do i put these songs on my bb

time00,
Lets see if the computer is able to identify that something is plugging through the USB. Right click My Computer and select Properties to open Device Manager.
Click on the plus sign next to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers, Plug in you BlackBerry Device.
- You should notice a entry for RIM Composite Device or BlackBerry Device will pop up.
If you continue to have issues i would download and install both BB Desktop Manager and BB Device Software.
Also have you attempt to us another USB port?
Hope this helps,

Blackberry Media Sync fails to connect to my Blackberry

Everytime I try to use the Media Sync it fails to connect. Ive tried plenty of times and I still cant get it to work. Ive checked my usb connection and its all fine. i can do anything else but that.
I have the blackberry 8320
How do i get it to connect?

Thanks for your response.
I have desktop mgr 4.7 and BB plugged in and online. When i then click on the blackberry media sync function to upload my music from iTunes. It knows that my BB is still connected as it states my PIN No. in the top right hand corner, however as it is looking for my playlists, an error pops up and states "Blackberry Media Sync failed to connect to your Blackberry device. Click Retry to try again or Cancel to disconnect". If i click retry the same error comes up.
I am wondering if you can only assign one BB PIN to the Media Sync as it is linked to iTunes, similar to what Apple's restrictions are with having multiple iPods syncronising on the software.
Hope this makes sense, i was thinking i should send a snap shot of the screen into BlackBerry though can't find an email address to shoot it too.
Thoughts?

BlackBerry Media Sync Will Not Load iTunes Playlists and/or iTunes Library.

I have updated my iTunes to the latest version, and suddenly, my Media Sync (for BlackBerry) will not load my iTunes Library or iTunes Playlists...
Can someone please shed some light on this?

I have no idea, since I don't have a Blackberry.
Is there a Blackberry forum where you could ask the same thing?
