MAC AddressBook and BB Desktop Software

HI,
my problem is that for some cards ( all that have company filled) after the sync, it duplicates these ones in BB and in the Address Book. I have tried to use always the same fields between BB and Address Book but no good, he duplicates more than 20% of my records.
Is there any issue with the field "company" or other, between BB Desktop software and MAC Address Book ?
Thanks,
Nuno
MAC OS X 10.6.4
BB 9700 Bold
BB Desktop Software 1.0.4

Hey garden56,
There is no known issue with the company field synchronizing incorrectly.
Have you tried the Forget Device option which is under Device>Forget Device. Then attempt the synchronization.
Also how many contacts are being synchronized?
I look forward to your reply.

Error when trying to configure sync between Outlook 2003 and Blackberry Desktop Software 4.6

I am unable to configure the Blackberry Desktop Software (version 4.6) to sync with my Outlook 2003. I used to have an older version of the desktop software and it worked just fine. I got a new phone and updated the software and am unable to configure the sync. I get the following message when I try to configure it: "Runtime Error: folder is no longer part of the system data source or the folder could not be found."
Please help. I need these to sync.

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
I suggest trying a clean DTM uninstall:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
followed by reinstalling from scratch. You should be able to go to the latest v5.0 with Outlook 2003...it's available here:

Mac AddressBook And Calendar with Android Phones

I know this is blasphemy on an Apple website but I dont currently have an iphone. In fact, Ive been using an old feature phone but recently won a free Samsung Exhibit II 4G Tmobile phone that I can use on prepaid - and honestly save a lot of money in the next year or so on monthly rates until I perhaps choose to get the next generation of iphone.
Here's my question if any of you folks know about Samsung or Android. I want to know if there's a way to sync my Mac Address Book and especially my Calendar to the phone. Ive read that since Android is Google, its best to have your contacts in Gmail or use a Google calendar and then youre alright - and maybe thats what I need to start doing and just abandon the Mac stuff Ive just gotten used to (Ive only been an Apple/Mac customer for a few months)
Since this is Tmobile, Im hoping most of my contacts will transfer ok with my SIM Card (So the contacts issue can be postponed I guess until 2012 if/when I get an iphone) but what about the Mac Calendar? Does anyone here have Android or Samsung phones and can sync their phone and Mac calendars? Some people have told me their special programs you can buy (which I really dont want to bother with but dont know if that works) ...I just dont want to get into situations where Im having to manually put things into 2 calendars - a phone calendar and a Mac calendar - and Im fearing thats what Im going to have to do. Maybe thats worth it to save the $20-50 or more each month on a plan...but with all the technology advancements (you can tell Im not a techie nor an early adopter) Id think there'd be an easier way...but maybe theyre just competing operating systems and programs so they are just not compatible and they dont want to be compatible cuz Apple wants you to buy and use all Apple products and so does Google.
So can anyone give me a simple answer? (Ive also emailed Samsung but I have a feeling thats not gonna get me much of an answer and calling Apple is probably gonna yield a response of call the manufacturer of your phone - thats what the Apple store employee told me anyway)
Thanks

I guess Im still confused. I just turned on the Android phone for the first time and the first thing it asks you is for a Google Account so I input one. But I have 2 Google/Gmail accounts so Im not sure how it works because it seems everything on the Android is connected to 1 account. Im sure Ill be able to set up 2 Gmail email accounts and just change the passwords to swtich back and forth but I guess the phone needs 1 default account. It wont automatically load everything with 2 Google Accounts.
Still trying to figure out the best way to sync the calendar; Ive been given several options - Im just leery of downloading 3rd party apps - and not sure if theyll just sync the appointments or if its possible to also sync the different color calendars I have in ical
I know the easiest answer is just stop using ical and use Google...Its just I have other apps that I like using on my mac that are tied into my ical..and I do like having the different color calendars (ie work vs personal). I noticed that when I exported my ical calendars to Google, they did end up loading onto my phone (they just didnt load the different calendars). I just want it to be where if Im out and about and add an appointment on my phone (Google Calendar) that it can sync up with my Mac when I get home - ideally wirelessly thru my Airport Extreme but if not even if I have to use a USB. The problem really is Im not a tech expert, and as you can tell by just getting a smartphone, Im not an early adopter either...and Ive only had the Mac for 4 months and honestly have had more problems with it than with the 10 year old pc it replaced...its all just a lot for me to digest.

Licensing on Mac laptop and PC desktop

Hello,
I have the CS6 Masters Collection for Mac and was wondering if it's possible to somehow use the same license in order to install it on my new PC desktop.

not unless you have a cc subscription.
otherwise, cs6 can be installed/activated on either mac or windows, but not both.

CS6 for windows on mac laptop and windows desktop?

I have a CS6 license for windows but want to use the same license on my desktop Windows PC and my laptop mac, is it possible?

Only if you run Windows in Parallels or Bootcamp on the Mac and run CS6 in the virtual Windows environment.
If not, the other option is to join the Cloud.

I am trying to connect my ipad to my new hp photosmart printer 6520e The ipad is saying no air printers found . The printer is already connected to my mac book and my desktop wirelessly. What do I need to do ? Please help

I can't connect my ipad to the wireless printer hp photosmart 6520e . Ipad is stating no air printers found. My MacBook and desktop are connected and working well.

S the printer connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad? If so, is it wirelessly connected to it?
That particular pinter model does appear on Apple's list of compatible printers.

You might want to try to reboot the router and try again as a first step.

I have a new Mac Mini and all my software is up to date. My video keeps acting up, flashing and not allowing me to work. This was happening with my old machine as well. Is this a problem with my monitor or do I have a bug somewhere in my system?

I have a new Mini and updated software. My monitor will keep flashing back and forth, shrinking the display and not allowing me to work. Sometimes clicking the mouse helps, sometimes clicking into the screen but it freezes up and won't allow me to work. Is this a monitor problem or is there some bug in my system.

Try just holding down on the power and home buttons to restart it. Thomas R. doesnt know what he was talking about. The tool is not made for jailbraeking and is not related to jailbreaking. If you want to get the link again, let me know, as I reapir iPhones, have been using it for years, nad it does NOT void your warranty. It simply reboots your device.
My apologies for all of the new people on this site who are novices to anything beyond iTunes or the device itself. Hopefuly your problem is solved.

Mac addressbook and iphone - may I have the numbers in the same order

I regularly sync since 2008 my iPhone using iTunes via USB.
However I don't have my telephone numbers on my iPhone shown in the same order that I have on the records of my address book on my mac.
Using Lion and iPhone iOS 5.1.1
Can I do something to get the same order?
Tanks
Alberto

You can use most of the apps that you bought for your iPhone on the iPad as well. Sometimes the apps are not optimized for the iPad's larger display. Sometimes the apps are limited to the iPhone and you must purchase a separate iPad version. As with your iPhone, Mac apps cannot be used on an iOS device.

Issues with Contact Pictures: Outlook 2010 and BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1.0.36

Hi guys,
I have been trying to syncronize my contacts for many days now, with the following problems with the contact pictures:
1) Some contacts simply do not syncronize the pictures: Randomly, some contacts where I add a Picture in Outlook 2010 do not show the pictures in my Blackberry. Even worst: If make a change in any other field, the change in that field is detected, but the former value and value of the picture simply appear blank, even when the contact has a picture in outlook.
2) If I add a picture in Outlook it is first syncronized to the BlackBerry. If I re-run the sync, all the pictures are re-syncronized back again from the BlackBerry to Outlook, but with a lower resolution, reducing the quality of all my contact's pictures. I also syncronize my Outlook to a couple of smartphones from other companies that do display high resolution pictures, diminishing the quality of the pictures displayed in the other devices.
This has been very frustrating, please help.
Thanks,
Marco

Unfortunately, no one from the BlackBerry team has replied (read?) my post. I simply changed the sync options to be unidirectional so that the BB won't replace the pictures with lower quality ones, Of course, I do not use my BB anymore to create new contacts, I do it in my other phones. For those contacts not showing a picture, I deleted the contacts and created them again. I really hope that someone at Blackberry realizes that High Quality contact pictures are appreciated within the BlackBerry users community and that they do something about it.

Dear Randers4,
I uninstalled and and re-installed several times but it did not work. Also I tried to repair it did not work either.
Thank you.

Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off. I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
Many thanks
Janet

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

MAC Desktop Software not connecting

Okay, here is the problem...apart from the missing Languages:
When I connect the 9800 to my MAC utilizing the BB Desktop Software. If I click Applications, the only things that come up are third party Apps that I have downloaded, AccuWeather, The Weather Channel and WhatsApp Messenger. Nothing else shows up!.
Now if I check for updates I get the following message: "BlackBerry Desktop Software could not connect to the update server. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later". Now obviously I can connect to the internet and read my mail so the network is working fine!
So as to performing a clean reload, they do not apply as it seems its impossible to get that far.
Also I do not understand how the the carrier can determine what is loaded on ones phone. I have tried loading the device software with the SIM card installed and without it, same thing.
Or is it that I am doing something wrong?
I should perhaps mention that I am in Germany and my Carrier is eplus!
I am adding my original post, as I believe my problems are all connected:
Languages Missing
After reinstalling OS Software on 9800 I no longer have the languages that I had before e.g. German, French, Italian, Spanish,…don't get me wrong there are other languages, but the ones I need.
Using the BB Desktop Software I have looked in the Backup/Restore and Applications Folders, but no mention of Languages.
How can I get the others back?
I connected my 9800 to my Mac OS 10.8.4 with the BlackBerry Desktop Software 2.4.0 for the first time. I made a backup and after that somehow my 9800 restarted and then a message came up on screen (Mac) that the device had not been put away correctly, then another message came up that the 9800 did not have an OS installed, it gave 3 options to install all 6.0.0 but with different bundles. I installed the recommended bundle. I have also tried the other bundles, with the same result, which is not the Languages that I require!
MOD EDIT: Subject changed to reflect a new topic

Hello nealpferd,
Thank you for your question regarding BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac and language support.
All language packs for BlackBerry smartphones are provided to BlackBerry smartphone users by the wireless service provider where the BlackBerry smartphone was purchased. The language packs are contained in the BlackBerry Device Software for the specific BlackBerry smartphone model and specific wireless service provider.
Please refer to the following article regarding language support on your BlackBerry smartphone:
How to obtain language packs for BlackBerry smartphones - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB13067
Regarding the "BlackBerry Desktop Software could not connect to the update server" message, do you know if your device is currently active on a BlackBerry Enterprise server or was at one point?

Windows 7 and Desktop software not auto-syncing

I have a BB Bold 9700, Windows 7 Ultimate, and latest desktop software from BB site. The issue is that the sync doesn't start when device connected. I have to manually initiate the sync and it works fine. When I was using Windows XP and I connected my device, the hardware was detected and the sync process started automatically...as it should. I have ensured that the "synchronize the selected items when your device is connected to the BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is selected. I even disabled that, shut it down, restarted it and reenabled it to see if that would work and it didn't. As I said, the phone syncs fine when initiated manually, but it won't start on its own.
Any help would be appreciated.
