Can a BlackBerry with Bluetooth sync with an iMac?

I am considering getting a Bluetooth cell phone, possibly a BlackBerry Pearl, and wanted to know if they can sync with my iMac?

Hi Steve,
Do you have experience of PocketMac? Unfortunately I paid for PocketMac Pro (which is for PocketPC devices rather than for BlackBerry). In 15 months of PocketPC ownership I never once achieved anything close to a full sync. I ended up re-installing Tiger twice on my Powerbook, recreating all my calendars in Entourage and then again in iCal all to no avail. Their support was unhelpful. I was unable to un-install PocketMac Pro properly even after digging around in System > Library and Library because it hooks so deeply into the system. Whilst still present on my system (even after the uninstaller was run, it would still obviously be present in iSync and cause iSync to crash). A Tiger re-install seemed to be my only option.
I can't say for sure that PocketMac for Blackberry will be nearly as ineffective in syncing or as bad for the system but I would seriously advise the OP to take a clone of their system before allowing any PocketMac product near OS X and be ready to clone it back to restore normal use.
Personally I swapped to a SonyEricsson mobile phone which syncs perfectly with iSync/iCal/AddressBook and no extras required; of course it's not the email machine the BlackBerry is.

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.

Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

TS1424 Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But some (four) of the cuts did not download and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But a few of the cuts did not download properly and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

Can itunes be set to sync with your music library?

Can itunes be set to sync with your music library? Everytime i add music to my computer i have to go to itunes and add it. If i move music on my computer then itunes gets lost and i have to add it again and then go back and delete all the broken links in itunes. Is there a better way?

iTunes does not at present have any good feature for watching folders and automatically importing tracks you add to a folder. Using strictly iTunes, unless you drop the tracks into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in the iTunes Music folder, you'll have to add any such tracks manually, by dragging them to the iTunes window or by using the Add To Library command. Here are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:
http://albumbrowser.klarita.net/iTunesFolderWatch.html
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/itunes/hack-attack-automatically-sync-itunes- to-any-folders-175161.php
The same applies if you move a track from folder to folder manually; that will break iTunes' links to the track file and you'll have to re-add or relocate it in iTunes.
Thanks to Meg and Hudgie for the tips.

This isn't a problem, but a question.
1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
if so then...
2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

To my knowledge, no. A Bluetooth device will connect to something that has appropriate BT hardware.

How can I force iTunes to sync with an specific folder?

I have all my music in an external drive, but anytime I start iTunes, it go to the folder created in the HDD. How can I make iTunes to sync with the folder in the external hard drive?

You cannot sync the two devices over WiFi at all. You can turn on automatic downloads on both devices in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, whatever you download on one device will download to other device as well.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

Bluetooth Sync with Microsoft Vista Bluetooth Laptop

I am able to pair my BB Pearl with my Vista laptop but it does not sync because Windows says I need an updated driver for the Pearl. I do not see anywhere on the BB site where I can get a new piece of software for the Pearl so that I can bluetooth sync it with my laptop using BB Desktop Manager software.
Any help?
Thanks, Scott

Go to Setup Bluetooth -> Options -> look at the items listed under Service. Can you see something like Desktop Connectivity. If yes only then you will be able to sync your device wirelessly with your desktop.
If you do not find that option then BES users contact your respective BES admin...BIS users contact with your carrier.
