Desktop Manager won't install on Mac

Would think I'm just missing something obvious but I give up.
I have administrative privileges.
Download the dmg package from BB's website without problem and opens fine. (yes, it's the Mac version, not the PC version)
Click on "Install BlackBerry Desktop software.app" and get the usual warning pop-up that it is "…an application downloaded form the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I click on "Open" and NOTHING happens (other than this pop-up window goes away).
I've closed all other programs when installing and made sure there isn't another pop-up window (hidden behind the active windows) waiting for my to respond.
I've checked the Applications folder for ANY new listings (even if it's not called something obvious like BlackBerrry Desktop Manager) and don't find anything installed/changed.
The Mac is using the Terminal program to open this Unix-exec file.
If I click on the "Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop software.app", it responds by saying it cannot find the program installed. (That tells me both that the installation package isn't entirely corrupt but that the program never actually installed)
Using Mac OS 10.6.7.
There is no antivirus/antimalware program running during installation.
Anybody have any idea what I'm missing for what should be a simple process?

After I have restart the next, the DM installer start to work. Maybe give it a try on restart computer?

Can't install latest version 2.1.1.7 - get msg:
"You can't open the application BlackBerry Desktop Software because PowerPc applications are no longer supported."
Uninstalled and reinstalled - no change?

That is why becsuse your MAC os version as you say is OS X 7.0 and as per my experience you must have 10.0 or higher and lates ITUNES fot it be installed.
Check the system requirements on the BB offical Web page

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem. After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms. I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue. I need help. Suggestions please.

Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

Desktop Manager won't sync Outlook

Just got a new Bold and now Desktop manager won't configiure to sync with Outlook. It gives me a "Not able to connect to internet" error. Removing firewalls and Norton didn't help.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi MarcBrittain,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
This article should provide more information on this issue. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
There are some additional steps in it to try to diagnose the issue. If none of the steps in the article resolve the issue, you may want to try disabling your startup items in the System Configuration Utility and rebooting before trying again.
Hope this helps.

Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work with Curve 9310

Can anyone help me troubleshoot why the Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work when I plug my Balckberry Curve 9310 into the USB port. The program freezes and shuts down. If I try to use the device switch wizard I get this message "Fatal Error has occured while updating your device's software. Please try again." I had to purchase a new Blackberry because my provider doesn't work in my new location so I bought StraightTalk Blackberry because I use it for business and I am familar with the phone. I am desparate to get my connections loaded onto my new phone. Help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

Desktop Manager Won't Connect -- USB unrecognized??

I have 2 new BB Curve 8330's. I have loaded the BB Desktop Manager software onto my Acer laptop (Vista) and pc (Windows XP). The software version is 4.5 and came with each phone.
The software will recognize and connect with only 1 of the 2 phones. I've tried it on each computer with indiviudal software (no shared programs even though I checked the box during installation to allow anyone to use it) with the same results.
Using the provided USB cables, I plug in phone #1, it connects just fine and I can use the software with no problems. However, when I connect phone #2, I does not recognize it at all. One the laptop, I got a prompt that reads" USB Device Not Recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."   On the pc, there is no prompt at all. This does not happen when connecting phone #1 with the same USB cable on either computer.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the software and battery in addition to use the USB cable from phone #1.
HELP!!!!!

Very strange...I just upgraded to Windows 7 and I can not get they synchronization working. I have a Curve 8900 and it worked fine while running Vista on the same laptop.
Now that I'm running Windows 7 I can not get the USB or Bluetooth to synchronize or backup. You do see that the device gets connected and it looks like it begins to synchronize and just stops. While in Desktop Manager none of the options are accessible. The buttons are there but nothing happens when you click them.
I have uninstaller Desktop Manager and re-installed several times but still nothing. I have also corrected the Bluetooth issues and it will not synch there as well.
Any suggestions????/
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
For the backup, where does it stop? I know that mine takes quite a long time on one area (something to do with BBM...can't recall specifically), but if I just wait long enough, it eventually completes. Not sure why it takes so long there, but it does.
Best!

Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager Won't sync with New Bold 9650

I have a new Bold 9650 (upgraded from a curve). My curve recognized and would sync with no problems. I used BB Desktop Manager to restore my new bold with all it's contacts and such. When showing up in DM, the options for restore and back up are available. When I click on applications it says I need a newer version of desktop manager. I have downloaded the most recent from the website and it still says this.
More importantly, the SYNC option doesn't even come up while the two are connected. It stays greyed out and won't let me get the option to sync. This worked fine with the curve, but the bold won't sync!!! Help please!!!

I too had the same problem. See below... there's a workaround. Apparently they are working on it.

Desktop Manager Won't Recognize Media Card Installed

I have installed a media card in my device. I have changed the default storage of new pictures to the card. I would like to move the other images from device memory to the media card, but Desktop Manager will not recognize the media card is installed. The media card does contain images, and I have successfully emailed attachments. How can I get Desktop Manager to recognize the media card?

Hi there!
Here are some instructions for configuring your BB and Media Card to appear as USB drives within Windows:

The only difference might be the version of DTM to use...5.0 is the current version.

Desktop Manager won't do two-way sync

Hi,
Desktop Manager (2.2.1 build 7) seems to have gotten into a mode where it won't do complete syncs with my Curve 8100. I'm only want to sync iCal and Address Book (Mac OSX 10.6.8), but DM seem to be in a write-only mode. New events on my laptop get transferred to the Curve, but no calendar event I put on the Curve get pulled to the laptop. Moreover, DM seems to push to the Curve events that I have already delete on my laptop. For example, if I accidently create a "New Event" in iCal and delete it immeidately, it turns up on the Curve as "New Event" the next time I sync.
I suspect I've set some flag incorrectly, but I can't find anything. I've "forgotten" the Curve in DM several times, deleted all its data, and reinstall DM, but nothing seems to help.
Any thought?
Thanks.

Hey Wharton,
I certainly feel your pain on this, I've got the 9900 Bold and it won't do anything on the desktop software apart from back it up, annoyed doesn't even cut the surface of the frustration I've had with this after the hours I've spent searching the forums looking for an answer to this, mine won't sync, update, or do anything really. I'm really getting fed up with what seems RIM's very passive attitude towards this situation whilst everyone on the Windows platform seems to be getting on fine with it, I very much doubt they'll read this or even care if they did to be honest because I've had problems since I got my phone and it's got worse everytime they've released an update. I'm now at a point where I can't even look up music on my phone by artist or genre because it tells me there's no media available but yet when I go into all songs they're all there and play fine. Seriously RIM, sort this **bleep** out, it's getting beyond a joke, fed up with having a £500 smartphone that I can't update or sync with my Mac. Sorry this doesn't answer your question Wharton but I stay hopeful that RIM will sort this issue out or someone has a suggestion that helps us!

Creative Cloud Desktop App will not install on Mac

Downloaded latest version on CC Desktop App from download center. Opened the .dmg file, double clicked on icon to install, said ok when Mac warned that this was an app downloaded from internet, entered my computer password when prompted, installer started and then stopped 3 seconds later. Actually have to restart computer to remove that stalled dialog box from screen (can't "cancel" or force quit or simply hit the red, close button). Now, when I open an app like inDesign, I get a "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." I would be happy to reinstall but I can't because the desktop app itself won't install. Any clues out there?

I am Windows, but have a few saved Mac links... your problem looks to ME like one of permissions
