Mac users DO NOT use this Desktop software! it will cause hours of heartache

I have exactly the same issue with a Bold and have still to find any option to resolve the issue other than to entirely wipe the device and go through the tiresome process of reinstalling and updating everything to the way i had it.
I am utterly furious with myself for trusting RIM to release a desktop option for Mac users. I choose a Blackberry for its push email and i love the device very much, even despite Initially going through 6 Bolds until i received a new one from Vodafone UK that was not reconditioned and finally worked properly. Since then everything has been fine until this amateur attempt at writing software for Mac users.
I don't have a lot of time to myself and i can think of nothing worse than spending the little time i have searching through endless ill concieved solutions that simply do not work. Just by plugging in my Bold and hitting sync has destroyed my contacts, ringtones and other settings. Why bother to release software until it is entirely tested? Why would you want to put your customers through this demorolising procedure which does nothing more than further emphasise your true lack of interest in supporting anything Mac. I dont want an iphone, i believe that your phones aresuperior for business users like myself.
Please, please, if you are a Mac user DO NOT use this software unless you really want to go through hell just trying to get it back to the customised form you spent loving hours to get right. It destroys your address book and other elements and not one solution posted anywhere on the Blackberry web site works. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
The reason i am a Mac users is because i need a reliable hardware/software solution that works out of the box. It is entirely obvious that RIM havent quite realised the long term benefits of this really very simple idea!

well, I attempted to use it, but I initially just tried syncing just the tasks and it would not do that! so I gave up and uninstalled.
I now have been trying to sync with pockmac but that also has issues.
Only reason I am not going to get an iphone, is that I really need to sync with entourage and I use notes on it extensively. and I don't think you can sync an iphone with entourage notes?
can't win can we?
this was one reason i've been sticking with the blackberry as well. it appears though that now you can... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1670
i really have liked my blackberry, and have been waiting for this software for some time now, but if this is rims idea of a client i have no choice but to go to the iphone...

I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

Has anyone received advertising for software called "Mackeeper". Does anyone know if this is supported by Mac, and has anyone used this software?

Has anyone reveived advertising for software called "Mackeeper". Does anyone know if this software is supported by Mac, and has anyone used this software?

Thanks Kappy, I let it do the scan and when it stopped halfway through and demanded registration I stopped and deleted it. I still have the icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen and don't know how to remove it. If this is not possible I can live with it. I am new to Mac and have trouble divorcing myself from my old PC habits!

I have two "MACs" and Final Cut Pro 7. I need a license to use this same software on both "Macs" How do I get it?

You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

Can u use this desktop as a tv also

can u use this desktop as a tv also

Yes, but not without some extra add-ons.
Try EyeTV. It can give your Mac an antenna and find nearby tv networks. You can also plug in game consoles etc and play them through the Mac.

Problems loading applications using Blackberry Desktop software

I am using a Blackberry Bold 9000 with OS 5.0.0.681 (Bundle 1137, Platform 5.2.064) and Desktop Software 6.0.0.40 (Bundle 42) on Windows XP. I have about 20 MB of memory available for apps, but I cannot load new applications using Blackberry Desktop software. Now I can remove or unload software with no problem. However, when I attempt to load applications or software that I don't have, the following happens: I can click on the grey cross icon under "Action" to indicate I want the module and status changes to "Pending Install". The apps I want are English UK, Spanish, Supplemental SureType Wordlists for English and Spanish, Blackberry Application Centre, DOD Root Certificates, TTY Support. I then see the following on on the screen: "Update - Uploading Device software -->" "Update - Loading applications -->" "Loading device modules -->" "Loading applications from device - Searching for available device software -->" "Loading applications from device - Read device service information -->" "Loading applications from device - Searching for available device software -->" And lo and behold - the applications are not loaded; they appear as uninstalled in the application list and I can't access them on my Blackberry. During this process the phone does not reboot... previously when changes were made the phone would reboot. My question is, is there a way to force Desktop Manager to load the applications? How can I load the software I want? I have done a wipe and reinstall of apps and OS on my phone; delete and registry clean of my laptop followed by reinstallation of Desktop Software; battery pull and SIM card pull, but to no avail. This is frustrating as I have friends with whom I converse with in Spanish but it isn't my first language so the spell checker is very useful. Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem, after weeks of no problems.
Hard reboot of 8520 several times, reboot desktop, tried different USB ports.
Intellisync crashes on organizer sync and Destop Manager cannot read applications.
Is there a fix?

The Mac OS X version of AIM is not capable of audio or video chats. There is no way around this.

Desktop software 6 will not install on Windows 7 - prior posts did not help

I have a new computer with Windows 7. I downloaded and tried to install Desktop softwarew version 6 and it continually hangs at the screen at which Install Shield would normally show the progress bar showing the progress of the install. It is the screen with a photo of a BB and saying 'Take your music, pictures and vidoes with you'. The progress bar never show any progress at all and the task manager shows no activitiy. There is no version of BB desktop in the machine (no prior versions to uninstall). I have checked the registry and there are no Research in Motion entries. There is nothing in Programs Files (x86). I have turned off my Norton Internet Security before running the install. I have even tried creating a new user account and loading the desktop software there as suggested in a prior post. The same thing happens.
I need the desktop software to sync with Outlook. What suggestions are there for resolving this issue? I can't think of anything else to check to see what is blocking InstallShield from continuing the installation.

A further update on the problem - I went to the task manager for the Install Blackberry Desktop Software application, and ask the task manager to go to the process it is running - it shows msiexec.exe *32.

Use BB desktop software with no connected BB

Hello
My fantastic BB Bold 9900 has unfortunately been floded and become unusable.
Is it possible to retrieve the back data I saved on my computer withour connecting the device which is out of order?
thanks for advice

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have used the Desktop Software to backup your device to your computer, then the files containing the data are there...they will be either with extension of IPD or BBB, depending on the version of the Desktop Software you used. However, those files are of a proprietary format, and natively only useful as the source of restore to another BB device. Refer to the Backup link in my auto sig on this post for information regarding backup/restore.
There are 3rd party PC apps that can parse the BBB/IPD files and present them in a usable format on your computer. A few minutes on your favorite Internet search engine should provide to you candidate apps for this purpose.
Good luck!

Most users can not use TEST PANELS or run EXE built vi's?

On any fresh install of NI-DAQ, the System Administrator and the first user logged in afterwards can use the Test Panels... button in the "Measurement & Automation Explorer" as well as run the Standalone programs made by Application Builder (LabView 7.1)...all other users can not use the Test Panels... or run the Built-vi's that shows up with plenty of error code 21, "an external subroutine required for execution could not be found", and it seems to be vi's that are called by the vi's we use, like one step away. I have set the permissions to all the related files to FULL as well as hacked the registry's HKeyLocalMachine->Software->NI... as well as the CurrentControlSet->...->DAQCARD... all to full control.
Since the Administrator and the frist user can run the programs it is definitely not a case of missing software, but just permission rights. Please help to get the other users productive as well!

Hi, they have not got the application builder license here...

Investigate the Air Display App to see if it will do the job for you.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. Help.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. I use an external 1 TB WD My Book for backups as well as Super Duper Backups. Can anyone offer advice. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive. This is the folder used by Time Machine to save backups to, and the OS X Mavericks installer thought that your hard drive is being used to store Time Machine backups
To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer from the Applications folder and follow the steps

Not using my desktop anymore and want to transfer my music into my laptop. friend didn't know how so she copied and poasted all of my music into a file now on desktop on laptop. How do I get that into the ITunes library where it was?

I'm not using my desktop anymore and transferred everything to my laptop. All of Ipod/Iphone music was in ITunes on my desktop. Friend that was helping couldn't figure out how to import music to my laptop, so she copied/pasted all of it and put into folder on my laptop desktop. How do I replicate my desktop ITunes library ?

To have EVERYTHING as it is Now...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
