I have issues - BlackBerry DM for Mac and a Tour 9630

I have a Tour 9630 and I am trying to sync on a Mac running Leopard and using the BB DM software. When I start to sync the progress bar starts to move across and then just stops, it stays like that forever and either doesn't do anything or crashes. Any one else out there having these problems? I can't sync my calendar or anything! Please help!  I don't want to go back to using Missing Sync. (I have a whole other set of issues getting Missing Sync to communicate with my BB after installing the new DM. I had to install the DM in order to fix my BB when it got stuck on 552 and 507 error messages).
Please help!

Hi,
I had the same problem with Pocket Mac. Now with BB Desktop Manager the first time it duplicated my contacts and those I couldn't delete on the Tour. First, check out the Tour and the Mac and find out where do you have the most updated list. That one is the one that you're going to sync to the other. If is on the Mac, wipeout the Tour, if is vice versa, clean the Address Book on the Mac and when you sync, overwrite the other one. Other option is to sync one thing at a time. First your contacts, then the calendar and so on. The calendar sync has worked for me since the first time. Keep the Tour sync with only ONE computer. Other thing is, backup the data on the Tour, BB Desktop M will help you do it. Use the version 1.0.  You can find it here, because the 1.0.1 update is what you will find on the BB site. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CGR9QN2S

  • Blackberry desktop for Mac and Bold 9900 - extremely slow syncing?

    Is it just me or does it take forever just to sync a few changes to photos or music to my Bold 9900 using the Blackberry desktop on mac?   Ok granted the first time I added over 1000 songs, several playlists and about 40 photos from iPhoto via the sync software, it took over 3 hrs to sync.  Personally I find that extremely slow, especially when comparing to my ipad or iphone and itunes syncing.   Today I wanted just to remove one photo album from my phone, so unticked it and resynced again.   Over half an hour before it finished!  The registering media with device step takes a very long time, as does the initial preparation stage......  surely there must be something wrong?  
    Without the wifi sync feature i can't imagine it being practical just to add one song to my phone through this software before popping out with the phone in the car.... I would need to give myself over 30 minutes in advance.
    Any advice or help most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hey midinotes,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    It can take quite awhile to synchronize media to your BlackBerry.  Especially with the songs, 1000 songs it is normal to take a few hours.
    The easiest way I add music to my BlackBerry is dragging the media files to the media card.  It's a lot quicker.

  • Hi there, I have a Macbook Pro and I have been using Libre Office but I am not happy with it. I need a good word processing package to produce a manuscript and don't know if I have to get Word for Mac and how to put my documents into it.

    Hi there and hello everybody.
    I am writing a book and have been using Libre Office and would like a better word processing package.
    I have heard that Pages 5 is better than the latest one. I need to be able to put my Libre Office documents
    into Pages. Anyone know how to do this please?

    Thanks. So would you say Word is the best processing package? And how do I choose which package 'opens' them.
    This is a basic computer skill you might want to learn. You can always control which application opens any document, and the steps below apply to any Mac or Windows computer you use:
    Method 1: Drag the document icon on top of the application (Word, Pages, LibreOffice...) icon and release. The system will open the document in the application you dragged it to.
    Method 2: Go into the application (Word, Pages, LibreOffice...) and choose File/Open. Locate and select the document, and click the Open or OK button.
    Method 3: Select the document icon and choose File/Open With, then choose the application you want to open the document with.
    The only time these don't work is when the application cannot open that type of document. For example, you usually can't make a photo editor open a text file. But Word, Pages, and LibreOffice all know how to open text files, RTF files, and Word files.
    But if it is important that the document formatting is exactly preserved when exchanging with other Word users, you really should use Word. If you can't afford to pay the retail price for a copy, Microsoft now lets you use Office for $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year.

  • Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together.  Thanks

    Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version).  The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely.  In either cases, what costs are associated.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5.  If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
    It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
    The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number.  I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
    The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse.  Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up  to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
    On my system it seems to work great.

  • I have lightroom 4.4 for mac and I am wondering how I delete watermarks?

    Every time I export photos and change water mark it asks me to save so I accumulate a lot of watermark files and I need to delete some. How do I do that?

    Edit->Watermark Editor, then from the dropdown menu at the top left, pick a watermark, and then use the dropdown menu again and select Delete

  • Cannot open documents originally in Word 2008 for Mac and saved in Pages 09

    I have both Word 2008 for Mac and IWork 09. Working on long and complicated documents in Word, I had a number of problems with Word so that I decided to switch to Pages. I copied my documents into Pages, and saved them in Pages. Now, when I want to open them in Pages, I get a message that Pages cannot open those documents.The message says: the "file" couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.
    Again: original Word document, properly saved into Pages. the saved Pages file cannot be opened in Pages.
    What do I do wrong?
    Thanks.

  • Word 2008 for Mac and NFS mounted home directories "Save File" issues

    Greetings everyone,
    (Long time lurker, first time poster here)
    I admin a small network (under 20 workstaitons) with a centralized NFS server, with user home directories mounted via NFS upon login.  Users are authenticated via LDAP.  This is all working fine, there is no problem here.  The problem lies when my users use Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac.  When they attempt to save a file to thier Desktop (or Documents or any folder under thier home dir) they are met with the following message:
    (dialog box popup)
    "Word cannot save or create this file.  The disk maybe be full or write-protected.  Try one or more of the following: * Free more memory. * Make sure the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected or damaged. (document-name.ext)"
    This happens regardless of file format (Doc, Docx, Txt) and regardless of saved location under the network mounted dir.  I've noticed that when saving Word creates a .tmp file in the target directory, which only further confuses me to the underlying cause of the issue.
    When users logon to a local machine account and attempt the save, there is no issue.
    I have found many posts in other commuity forums, including this one, indicating that the issue is a .TempoaryItems folder in the root of the mounted directory.  This folder already exists and is populated with entries such as "folder.2112" (where 2112 is the uid of the LDAP user).  I find other posts indicating that this is an issue with Word:2008 and OSX10.8, with finger pointing in either direction, but no real solution.
    I have installed all Office for Mac updates from Microsoft (latest version 12.3.6).
    I have verified permissions of the user's home dir.
    I have also ensured that this issue effects ONLY Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac apps, LibreOffice and other applications have no issue.
    Does *ANYONE* have a solution or workaround for this issue?  While we're trying to phase Microsoft products out, getting users to ditch Word and Excel is difficult without removing them from systems completely.  So any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I can't tell you how to fix bugs in an obsolete version of Office, but a possible workaround is to use mobile home directories under OS X Server. The home directories are hosted locally and synced with the server.

  • Blackberry Desktop for Mac Is Not Complete - Still Have to Use PC Version Sometimes

    Blackberry Desktop for Mac is incomplete in this way - if your OS gets wiped out (as it wants to do upon initial install, as it tries to update your BB OS) - and if it gets hung in the process - as happened to me - then the ONLY way to fix is to go BACK to a PC and use the PC version of Blackberry Desktop.
    It's incredible, but that is what I learned.  I installed Blackberry Desktop for Mac.  It  wanted to initiate an OS upgrade first thing.  I allowed it to do so and it wiped out the OS on my Blackberry.  Leaving me with a 507 error.  I called Verizon.  They switched me to Blackberry.  Blackberry said I could only get clear of the 507 error by finding a PC - somewhere - and installing Blackberry Desktop for PC on that PC.  
    Blackberry then switched me back to Verizon, and they said that since I didn't have a PC, they had to send me a new Blackberry - and they had to charge me for it! (They said that the local Verizon store could not repair the OS).
    I refused to pay $50+ for a new phone necessitated by the failure of Blackberry Desktop for Mac to be able to deal with a 507 error.  I spoke to Blackberry Support, again (this was about a 6 hour process), and they admitted that the provider - Verizon - did not support some sort of feature in the OS initialization process, meaning that Blackberry Dektop for Mac could not be used, one has to use Blackberry Desktop for PC no matter what in some circumstances (such as a 507 error upon OS upgrade).
    Blackberry switched me back to Verizon.  This time, Verizon stated that the local Verizon store could upload a new OS.  So I shlepped off to the local Verizon store and, another hour later, they installed the new OS.
    Once the new OS was installed, Blackberry Desktop for Mac was able to synch and works just fine (much better than PocketMac).  However, my fear is that when the next OS update comes out, if the same thing happens again (i.e., if the OS update freezes again), I will be left having to either look for a PC somewhere to run Blackberry Desktop for PC, or go to the Verizon store.
    So, word to the wise.  Blackberry Desktop for Mac is not complete vis-a-vis Verizon.  It cannot be complete if they tell you that you have to use Blackberry Desktop for PC in certain circumstances.

    This is often the problem with the new features that Apple implement more and more for each functionalities and moving them to "the cloud" (iCloud).
    Thus physically removing the files from the Mac makes the BBDM (logically) unable to sync with no-more existing files on the computer...
    This is the case currently for the address book and iCal. I guess that new functionalities in iTunes might have the same effect. Haven't you enabled new features recently in iTunes?
    Like "iTunes match" for example?...
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...

  • HT5621 I have 2 email addresses ( 1 mac. and 1 blueyonder.) with separate Apple IDs for each ( again 1 mac and 1 blueyonder). This has consistently given me problems with passwords and I would now like to combine them into one account to help overcome thi

    I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
    Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

    Depending on what you're asking...
    There is no means to merge Apple IDs.  You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup.  (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
    While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness...  Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server.  Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.
