Blackberry sync with pocketmac

pocketmac does not work with the intel macs. They claim there is a mistake in Apple's programing in regards to the USB. Everything else I have on USB works fine on the intel imac. Does anyone know of a problem with the USB, or is this just a universal issue that pocketmac is trying to fully blame on Apple?

Melanie,
On March 23rd, then this thread was created, there was no universal version of Pocketmac available.
Now there is.
Also, no Blackberry will sync via Bluetooth on the Mac. This isn't a limitiation of Pocketmac, or Apple. It's a limitation of the Blackberry itself. RIM has disabled the bluetooth serial profiles which would be necessary for any data transfer via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth sync currently only works with Blackberry devices on Windows, with a very specific software setup.

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Greetings,
Yes on both but you would need software to do the sync for you.
If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.x, Palm is no longer updating their sync software (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/centro/centro/unlocked/solutions/article/332 19_en.html). You would need a sync solution like: http://www.markspace.com/
Blackberry has their own sync software which you can get from them.
Cheers!

Losing calendar data in Entourage when sync with PocketMac on Blackberry

I have been using PocketMac with my Blackberry Pearl to sync with Entourage. During the last sync I lost all my calendar items in Entourage but they are all still on the Blackberry. I tried the sync again and I can't seem to get my Blackberry to put these items on the Mac. What am I missing?

"What is 6 of 16 that is locking up, I don't believe it is datebook and if that is the case you can disable that conduit temporarily so you can sync your datebook over, if it is datebook, then I would try a program called dbfixit you can get it from www.pimlicosoftware.com I don't know about dbscan and how well it is, but I find dbfixit to be a wonderful tool to find any corruption. "
Well, I don't know. I am assuming it is 6 of 16 files that need to be synced. I'm just telling you what the hotsync window says at the point that it locks up.
How do I disable the conduit and still have the datebook sync? If it's disabled, how would it sync at all? I have set the datebook to "do nothing" and the other applications sync just fine, but not datebook.
I will try the dbfixit as long as you can assure me it won't erase data. Thank you

Syncing with pocketmac

I am a newbie BB user and a dedicated Mac user as well. I have read the post on Tour and Mac and was able to sync my BB to my mac once. After that pocketmac just freezes on the last 5% or so of the sync.
I also tried the googlesync app and it deleted about 20 of the contacts from my address book. I really don't care about the google sync, though, as I am more concerned about just getting my Ical to sync with my shiny new Tour.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem. I can't get the PocketMac for Blackberry to sync my iCal which is the only thing I am trying to sync at the moment. I get the error that says "PocketMac SyncManagerOEM Warning: [12:29:24.341] Unable to conncet to Blackberry (error 1); skipping."
I have uninstalled the software and downloaded again as well as downloading the driver update. Not sure what else to do at this point. I am trying to sync via the USB port.

Are you having problems syncing with Pocketmac, Missing Sync or Media Sync? Here's what I did...

Just throwing this out there as a solution that worked for my situation. It may not work for everyone's needs.
After NUMEROUS emails back and forth with Pocketmac support I was finally told that Pocketmac will not work if Media Sync is also installed. It causes the "Error 1 Skipping" problem due to a USB driver conflict. So I tried Missing Sync's free trial. No good. It would not sync either, so paying money for the non trial version wasn't going to happen.
So, I ended up keeping Media Sync to keep my iTunes library synced and I started to use a wonderful little free app called "Google Sync". It works beautifully for my needs. It runs in the background (with no negative effect to the BB's performance or battery life) and automatically syncs your gmail contacts and google calendar to your BB device. If you change something on either the BB itself or online, google sync catches it and updates the other accordingly.
So if your sick and tired of messing around with Pocketmac and Missing Sync, give Google Sync a try. I love it!

it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
That's a issue discussed in the past.
It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you.

Can a Blackberry sync with Eudora 7?

I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry Curve. Would the Desktop manager app be able to sync up the Curve with my Eudora email app?
TIA.

"Sync"? An iPad syncs with iTunes, not with an iPhone.
You can set up an iPad Air using a backup from your iPhone which has an older iOS. Perhaps that is what you are asking.

Blackberry sync with BB Manager / GW 8.01

I am syncing my calendar with my GroupWise calendar through the Desktop manager software and the usb connection. I totally wiped my curve back to factory defaults and every time I sync my calendar the reminder time is always at 500 minutes or longer.
any ideas?
using GW 8.01 / BB OS 4.5x / BB Manager 5.01
thanks

This seems to be a problem that my users are experiencing as well. Here are three excerpts from Blackberry forum support thread describing the problem in detail and Blackberry's general attitude toward it. Some users on that thread also report this problem with GW7. A fix would be appreciated.
Sync With Groupwise 8 CalanderOptions
Mark as New
03-31-2009 11:50 AM
I recently updated from Groupwise 7 to Groupwise 8. I'm now having a problem when I sync my calander. The reminder time is being transfered from Groupwise as a time. It then gets entered in my device calander as minutes. So, if I have an apointment at 7:00 and set the reminder to 5 min before in Groupwise, and sync the device, the reminder time is set to 655 minutes before the event on the device. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi there,
I did some research and it appears GroupWise client 8 is not a supported version with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.7. I have attached a link below which should direct you to the release notes.
BlackBerry Technical Solution Center...
Please let me know if there are any problems with the link.

8330 alltel curve won't sync with PocketMac, even after driver update

Sooo I have a blackberry curve 8330 I recently got through Alltel. I
installed PocketMac twice now, and was reading all about the FAQ's and
tech. support and it's not recognizing my blackberry. I tried syncing
and it said the "error 1: skipping" thing. I also downloaded the
"driver update" and it's still doing the same thing. It shows my phones
like charging when it's plugged in but I can't sync it. This is my
first blackberry and I'm confused.
Can someone help me, please?
And, does anyone know what "Enterprise Activation" is?
Thanks
EDIT: sorted out the formatting
Message Edited by Andy on 07-26-2008 09:21 AM

I also had problems syncing my 8330 Blackberry with my Mac with a program called PocketMac and after installing and reinstalling the program several times and syncing for hours on end (the program was just sitting their), I also spent $49.95 for PocketMac Tech Support. Still no results. I did a little more research and I found a program that I thought was easy to install as long as you follow the simple instructions and it worked great, the program is The Missing Sync for Blackberry Version 2.0.1. it cost $39.95 it is available at www.markspace.com.

Blackberry sync with office for mac 2011

I just received this reply from Mac Topia forum: "For Office 2011 we’re using Apple’s standard sync protocol, Sync Services, to enable synchronization with a variety of devices and applications, and third-party vendors provide plug-ins to enable Sync Services for devices like the Blackberry"
Is there a plug in as they suggest above?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Sync with PocketMac for BB error

I have the latest version of the PocketMac yet when I try to sync I get the "Error 1" message saying "Unable to Connect with BB; skipping. Don't know what to do? BB is connected by USB cable. I am a new user and the BB is 8330C.

I have a Pearl 3G and have had similar problems each time there is an update/upgrade. The one I downloaded and installed this week took a long time, but then the first synchronization would not stop. I eventually had to force it to stop, generating errors. I've had this before.
What I've done previously is cumbersome.
I start with turning off automatic sync.
I turn off sync for most items (contacts, tasks, etc.) and leave only calendars.
I generally have to over-write all the calendar entries on the device or the sync appears to go on forever (hours, even overnight).
I generally start with over-writing only future events, then check the box to include some new and old, increase the new and old range, then eventually sync everything in the calendar. --- Each step requires an additional manual sync.
I then start to sync Contacts, Notes, etc.
BUT ... and this is the very frustrating part ... I have to address up to hundreds of conflicts. This is the part that makes no sense.
I'd like some help and answers on this topic too.

Address Book / PocketMac / BlackBerry syncing issue

Hi folks:
Wonder if anyone's expertise could help illuminate what's going on with my setup. I had a BlackBerry synced with Outlook on my old PC, which I recently replaced with a new MacBook. I was able to use PocketMac to easily sync my BlackBerry with Address Book and Mail on the new MacBook- or so I thought.
Turns out there are some fields included with contacts in my BlackBerry that do not appear with the corresponding contact entry in Address Book. For instance, a given contact will have four or five phone numbers listed on the BlackBerry, with only two or three on the Address Book. I thought that by syncing the two devices I would get an exact match for the data on each one. Was I wrong?
Any ideas? Any setting I can change, or workarounds I can use to make the information complete on both devices?
Thanks!

When you go through the sync process, do you see any records that the sync recognizes and says it will move to your Mac?

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

Sync BlackBerry 8800 with MacBook

I'm using MacBook running 10.4.9. Also, I'm using BlackBerry 8800.
Now, I have tried both PocketMac & Missing Sync for BlackBerry, but both didn't work. I managed to sync with iCal, but not Address Book. Can anyone help me?
I want to know if the USB cable matters? 'Cos I left the original BlackBerry USB cable at office for synchronizing with my desktop PC. So I use the USB cable for my Motorola mobile phone, which is also USB to mini-USB. Could this be the cause for not being able to sync? But if that is the case, why I can sync iCal? So, I suppose this was not the cause.
Now, if that's not the cause, can anyone please help? Greatly appreciate.
Thanks and regards,
Gary

I believe that it's actually more accurate to say that the 'decision' was one by RIM rather than Mark/Space. Here's what the developer of the Missing Sync for Blackberry has to say about using BES wireless synchronization:
"…you can sync the BlackBerry to the BES, but in order to sync the BlackBerry to the Mac using Missing Sync you will need to turn off the BES sync and then sync, when you are done syncing with your Mac you can turn the BES sync back on on the device.
Steps for turning off BES wireless sync:
1. Launch Address Book on the BlackBerry.
2. Access the Menu (press wheel or menu button depending on device).
3. Choose Options.
4. If BES is enabled, there will be a Wireless Synchronization menu item.
5. Make sure the Wireless Synchronization option is set to NO.
6. Repeat for each of the following that have Wireless Sync enabled: Calendar, Tasks, and MemoPad.
For the sync with Missing Sync to work the wireless sync must be turned off at the application level.
Please note, if you are trying to sync to both the Mac and the BES then you need to click on the 'Preference' option in Missing Sync and check the option: 'Allow syncing to multiple computers'. If you do not check that option then you will not be able to keep everything in sync when changes are made on the device and then synced to the BES before syncing to the Mac."

Blackberry Storm 9530 sync with Ical?

Does anyone know how to sync their blackberry storm with their ical or entourage calendar 2004? I can't. Is it even possible?

After spending hours with 'pocketmac' and the 'missingsync' getting nowhere with trying to synce my BB Bold with my Mac I stumbled across Google! If you open an account with them (free) you have the ability to upload your mac calendar and you address book will sync with google from the address book preferences. After you have uploaded what you need you can then use "google sync" to transfer your calendar and address book to your BB. The calendar does not sync with your mac and you will have to edit it online but you can periodically upload a new vCal file onto the google calendar. This is by far and away the best and free way to get mac info into a BB. It's not perfect but oh so much better than the offical options available.
The only other true way to achieve sync is to boot into windoze and buy outlook. Then everything works perfectly, but who want's to do that? Take a look at the google option, it's the best I've found so far after HOURS of messing around with the other sync apps!
