ICal v. Blackberry Storm

I am having trouble syncing my Blackberry Storm to my iCal. Only syncs one way and wipes out my BB calendar. How can I reverse and sync mobile device to iCal? I have tried Pocket Mac and Missing Sync. They don't work either. HELP!

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!

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?

How to Sync Address Book, iCal and Safari bookmarks with Blackberry Storm

I recently purchased a Blackberry Storm and have been trying to sync my Address Book, iCal and Safari bookmarks without any luck. I downloaded the PocketMac SyncManager from BlackBerry but the sync fails when I connect the Storm to my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions as to how one gets this to work?

I read that Mark/space had problems and wasn't working very good..

Can't sync iCal with Blackberry since 10.6.6 OS update

My Blackberry Storm used to sync just fine with my iCal and Address Book. After I installed Snow Leopard recently, the next sync took a long time, but worked fine. I installed the most recent OS update and now I can't sync the Calendar. The sync process starts, then I get a message that says there was an error during sync, to try it again. It goes ahead and syncs the Address Book just fine. Then I try syncing again. Same error message.
Oh, and another difference I notice now. When I connect my BB to my laptop, nothing happens. My computer doesn't acknowledge that a device has been connected. If I go into Applications and launch the Blackberry Desktop Software, the device suddenly shows up in my Finder window like always (all this used to happen automatically when I connected the Blackberry to the laptop).
Is it a coincidence that this is happening after I installed the most recent Snow Leopard update? Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a simple fix (I'm not terribly expert, so please keep instructions simple)? Thanks.

I've had the same problem. Apple chat representative said there's nothing to be done. They've designed the new calendar to not sync with Blackberry. They want everyone to buy an iPhone, too. I was told that there's no way to go back to the old iCal. In short, Apple rep was really uncooperative and did everything to defend Mac's decision to block out Blackberry. Needless to say, I was really disappointed in them. Considering going back to pc just because of this incident.

Question on Palm 500 and BlackBerry Storm--please help!

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but here is my story.
For several years, I've had a Palm 500.
I believe, when I purchasedit,I had to choose to Hot Sync between either my PC at home or my Mac at work. I chose to Hot Sync at home and that was an error because I was mostly using it for work. In time, I got tired of tapping everything in with the stylus and mostly use it as an address book now, even though I have $hundreds in third-party apps going unused.
Recently, I’ve been considering buying a BlackBerry Storm. I don’t really plan to use it on the Net but Verizon says I have to pay $30 a month just for web fees or I can’t get that phone. My husband says there is a way nowadays to HotSync to both a PC and a Mac. Or at least for me to hook up the Palm 500 to the Mac at work and be able to use iCal etc. there.
If I choose to buy the BlackBerry he says I can transfer all my Palm data to the BB.
Can anyone tell me: 1. Is any of this true? 2. If I stay with the Palm how do I get the necessary hardware/software for my iMac? 3. Should I just deep-six the Palm 500 because it’s so old?
I really need some kind of organization software/device because deadlines are piling up and I’m gonna get in trouble on my job!
Thanks!!!
Post relates to: Palm m500

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
You always had the ability to sync with two different desktops, even of different platforms. This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:
http://tinyurl.com/kq4c5
The Mac hotsync software is downloadable from the support/download site linked above if you don't have your original installation disc. Just be sure you pay heed to the article's instructions about only using ONE desktop for full 2-way sync, using the second desktop for one-way sync (Handheld Overwrites Desktop) as a clone of the other.
As for the BB Storm, I am unfamiliar with it but it looks like you would probably have to sync with M$ Outlook or some other organizer app which is compatible with the Blackberry Desktop software (suggest you peruse the BB site for info). If you don't already sync with Outlook, you would have to migrate your data from Palm Desktop to Outlook. You can do that but you might need your original installation disc. I'm not sure whether the m500 came with Outlook conduits or Chapura Pocket Mirror to sync with Outlook...and I'm just a little bit frustrated right now trying to find stuff on the newly redesigned web site to be able to point you to the right answer on that.
Whether to deep-six the m500 or not is a tough one. Palm's handheld PDA business is pretty much a goner...no new stand-alone PDAs are planned, and the "current" models (TX, E2 and Z22) now seem to be at the end of their production life. So it seems that whatever is still out there in the supply stream (like www.amazon.com where you can get a new TX for something like $270) is probably about it. Your m500 is already a dinosaur, and parts will get harder to come by. But if you like the stand-alone PDA it seems that now would be the time to get a replacement for your m500. Their speed, display resolution and other capabilities are far superior to your m500.

Is Verizon going to get the Blackberry Storm 3 (9570)?

I am currently an Alltel customer that was bought out by at&t. We are set to change over in December or January. I may or may not stay with at&t as I have heard bad things about their service. I am interested in a complete touch screen Blackberry and am wondering if Verizon is set to get the Blackberry Storm 3? I heard they were and then heard it was cancelled?! Anyone know? Thanks!

How to transfer photo's from blackberry storm to laptop

I was on the phone today with my mobile provider for 1 hour only to get the wrong information.
Then I was on with a blackberry representative for 1 1/2 hours. After which my media card would not work anymore.
I lost all my pictures and cannot format my media card. I removed it once during the time with blackberry rep and after that the pictures were all gone. I said Ok. Let's keep going we tried to format the card and it failed. I am waiting now for a new card. Hopefully there is a problem with the card. I can't imagine what happened when I took it out for a second that made it stop working.
My question is I did find on the site how to use the blackberry as a USB connection. It says I have to install the drivers separately for my computer to recognize it. The only problem is the instructions are old and not for my model phone.
All day today they are telling me then when I connect my blackberry storm 9630 it should appear in MY COMPUTER. I should then be able to drag the pictures from the phone to my pictures on my computer.
The memory on my phone is set for prompt in mass media storage.
The storm never shows up on My Computer. We did check and it shows up under hardware for USB connections it also works perfect with desktop manager.
The pictures take so long using that software I want to find an easier way to do it.
I still want to use the desktop manager for transfering my outlook stuff.
If anyone has any suggestions about the media card stuff please let me know as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi susieq, I've had similar problems in the past (and still do - I just can't view the files on my media card when it's plugged into the Storm for some reason). What I've done is that I've found a microSD card reader and when I want to transfer my files to/from my computer, I just remove the card from my Storm, then plug it into my microSD card reader, and plug that into my computer and transfer the files using Windows Explorer (just like a would any other flash drive or external hard drive).
While not the ideal solution (as you have to find the card reader), this is actually the easiest way to transfer files to and from your computer and microSD card.
And given that you've already tried a whole bunch of things with both a BlackBerry Tech and your carrier's support line, this would be my suggestion.

Hi my blackberry storm is out of charge and has turned off.
I only have the USB cable to connect it to my laptop. Can I charge it via my laptop by connecting this cable.
I would appreciate your urgent help.

Hi!
If you have already installed the BB USB drivers on your PC, then yes you can charge via USB. If you have not installed them, you can obtain them here:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
For charging only, you don't need the entire desktop software suite...just the USB drivers alone is enough for charging via USB.

Blackberry Storm

Good mroning, I'm new here. I've had my Blackberry Storm (I believe the number is 9630) for a few years. Love it, of course I have on it Facebook; but, nothing more than that. Recently there was an upgrade to Facebook, I did the upgrade. Since that time I now am getting a run time error when I open FB. The only way for me to clear this and to be able to use the phone is for me to take the battery out of it. What is causing this and what can I do to fix it?
Greatly appreciate the feedback.

If you delete the app then reinstall it, that should take care of the issue. If not, post back and we'll look at other options.
Cheers.

Alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500

Hi, recommend an alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500 without BES / BIS, thank you!

from GMail, you can export your contacts and your calendar events to a CSV or XLS file.
then using the Desktop Software, you can synchronize those files to your device.
That being said, using a BlackBerry without BIS is having a very incomplete BlackBerry experience.

8703e blackberry email copy to blackberry storm

I have a Blackberry 8703e. I just purchased a blackberry storm. I have many emails on the old unit that I need on the new unit. How do I copy over the old messages. Some of the old messages are not on my local outlook on my computer. Please advise if this can be done

Welcome to the forum.
You can do a full backup of the 8703e, then connect your Storm and do an Advanced Restore (under Backup/Restore in Desktop Manager) and restore just the Messages database.

Flash on blackberry storm

I need to know how to install flash on my blackberry storm. I was given a site ...www.handango.com by my carrier and said i could download apps there but would not tell me what apps as they do not support the site.
