New Desktop Manager for the Mac is Wonderful

I had played with the leaked version and liked what I saw. I just think this DTM is excellent. The bugs that were in the leaked version aren't there. Its fast, its nice, I can do backups and upgrade the software from the Mac and load apps. This is great.
I've noticed people having problems getting their software to work. I ran into this error but it was easily fixed. I had been running the leaked version of the software. I decided to uninstall Missing Sync for the Blackberry and then I uninstalled my new install of RIM's DTM. I restarted, re-installed and it works like a charm. 
A happy Mac/Blackberry camper

  • New Desktop Manager for Mac - backup fails

    Each time I try to back up my Curve to my Mac, it fails when backing up "RMS Databases". I have to shutdown the Curve and restart it after each attempt. I'm currently running version 4.5.0.160 (I see there is a newer version, but can't install till I get a good backup).
    Has anyone got it to back up a Curve?
    Thanks,
    Des

    Hm.. that is weird. I can backup my "RMS Databases" on my Bold, when I click on Backup, and then choose "Selected data", and check only "RMS Databases".. I'm not sure what that database is, but if it shows that it has 0 records, then you might not have to worry about it.
    When you do a full backup, does it say "Backup data completed" though? It would say this at the bottom of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager window.... if it did, then it probably means it backed up everything except that database.
    You can confirm by doing a backup, and choose "Selected data", and then check all the databases, except for "RMS Databases"

  • My boyfriend purchased the new operating system for the mac book pro it was send to his email but we cant figure out how to get it and download it from the email

    how do we download our operating system purchase from our email it was sent to?

    You should have received a redemption code via email if you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion that would allow you to download the OS via the Mac App Store. If you purchased an earlier version it would come on discs, usually model-specific.
    Call back with some more information...

  • Blackberry desktop manager for mac not working

    Hi guys,
    New to Blackberry yesterday and hitting a few problems, wondered if anyone had any advice, any mac users a bonus.
    I installed the Desktop Manager from the CD that came with my Curve 3G onto my mac yesterday, that installed fine.
    I then connected my phone and loaded the application up, it backed up fine, but when I went to Applications it told me I needed to install the latest version.
    I went to the Blackberry site and downloaded it from there to make sure I had the latest version, although I'm sure they were the same builds as on the CD
    I uninstalled the one I installed from the CD and tried again with the one I downloaded from the Blackberry site, but  It still flags up the same error that this is not the latest version.
    I've had a quick browse on the net and it seems other mac users have had the same problems, does anybody have any ideas what's going on?
    Thanks
    Shaun

    I'm having what seems to be the same problem and it's driving me crazy.
    I just installed BlackBerry Desktop Software 2.0.0 (it's the only one I've ever had installed) and every time I open it and click "Applications' I get a window that says "A newer version of BlackBerry® Desktop Software is required to update the software on your device. Please download an updated version and retry."
    At the same time a "Install/Remove Applications" window opens behind this window but nothing is listed, then the window disappears and "Device update cancelled" appears in the bottom left corner.
    If I clicked to download the updated version before both windows disappeared, I get a "Download Progress" bar that says "Downloading updates. Please Wait."
    It eventually times out and I get a window that says "The update download failed with the following error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3003.)"
    Anyone with this problem found a resolution? I've been searching around for nearly 2 hours and nada.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac does not recognize any Calendars for syncing

    ive installed the blackberry desktop manager for my Macbook and hooked my phone up through the USB port when I started the program and when I go to the calendar section it says "There are no calendars available on this computer for syncing.  Please launch a new iCal and create a new calendar".  How do I fix this?  I have a lot of information on my iCal that I want transferred over to my phone, but it won't recognize the calendar in the program.  Help

    I'll try to help...first you did not provide any pertinent information for troubleshooting:  Mac OS, device, device OS...
    Now before you do anything go to iCal>File>Export and create an iCal archive (JIC).  The rest is dependent on the OS (as each store iCal data differently)...It is possible that your calendar file is not where it should be.  Try cleaning system and user cache. Restarting your mac and repair permissions.
    On the device side, what do you have as the default CICAL?  You could try forget device in the DM or trash the user>username>application support>BlackBerryDesktop folder and start over.
    Now do you have more than one calendar?  In the DM how are you setting the sync?  Two Way, All Calendars...to what calendar are you adding on the device?  Under Advanced Settings are you selecting All events and are you Replacing all calendar events on the Blackberry device?  Remember that even if you have multiple calendars in iCal they will sync as one in the BlackBerry.

  • Desktop Manager for Mac error message KB19454

    Hi All,
    I am new to the community and would appreciate any assistance. I have two recent problems for which  I am seeking troubleshooting advice. The priority problem is mentioned first below.
    I've just encountered this error message, "For help resolving this issue, refer to KB19454 in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager Knowledge Base" when attempting to sync my Curve 8320. I use a Mac, and I haven't run into any difficulties syncing since downloading the newer version of the Desktop Manager for Mac in Dec/Jan. I haven't been able to download the latest update though. I did see an early post by someone with the same difficulty, but I was unclear of the question posed, and thus I am hopeful for potential suggestions for resolution.
    The additional problem I've recently experienced is that I can't compose an SMS/MMS message. I can only reply to someone's message. When I try to simply send one, the screen defaults back to the list of messages. 
    Please Note: I do not have wireless on my phone. I utilize Blackberry Desktop Manager Version 1.0.1 
    Please also note that I am not able to access electronic messages daily but will attempt to return any responses/inquires as quickly as possible.
    Thank you in advance for assistance.
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    For your first issue, I cannot tell if you've yet worked through the referenced KB...if not, you can find it here.
    For your second issue, I'm unsure...but perhaps this will help:
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!

  • Deleting past calendar events on sync with desktop manager for mac? How to proceed

    I am new to Blackberry desktop manager for mac.  It is all set up and first sync is done without a problem.  Now when I try to sync, I get a message that over 600 of my past calendar items will be deleted if I continue with sync.  I need to keep previous calendar items, is there a way to solve this problem and not delete past events?  I am sorry for asking this question, I am just new and very unsure of what I am doing.  I had used missing sync before, but when my blackberry had to be replaced, new blackberry wouldn't work so I wanted to try desktop manager.  HELP!  Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. checked space, had to delete 2 apps. was set to forever, just changed to from 30 days in past to 18 months in future hoping it would make a difference on sync. Still trying to delete 1256 events.

  • Any news on when the DTM for the Mac will be officially launched?

    Any news on when the DTM for the Mac will be officially launched by RIM. I'm using the leaked version, which works but has some bugs however I think its excellent. I suspect the Official Release will handle some of these bugs.

    As a new Mac owner and a BlackBerry Storm FAN - I am looking forward to it!  
    I have had a Curve and now the Storm and I can't wait to learn my Mac that I recently purchased! So glad that RIM is working on this for MAC users! I use Desktop manager faithfully on my PC!  It is going to be awesome!

  • I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • Steps to take if BlackBerry is not shown as connected in Desktop Manager for Mac

    Hello Community,
    Here is a list of steps you should attempt to try and get your BlackBerry detected in Desktop Manager for Mac.
    1. Make sure you're using the most up to date BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac.  Which is available to download at http://www.blackberry.com/desktop
    2. If using a MacBook/MacBook Pro make sure the BlackBerry is plugged in the left USB port close to the screen.  If using a iMac make sure you use the USB ports on the Mac and not a USB hub.
    3. Make sure you're using a BlackBerry branded USB cord.  (There are usb cords out there for charging only).
    4. Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    5. Disable Media Transport Protocol on your BlackBerry smartphone. (Options>Memory)
    6. Make sure your Mac OS X 10.6 is running in 32-bit mode. KB Article.
    7. Make sure ALL other syncing software has been uninstalled and removed off your Mac.  KB Article.
    8. Perform a battery reset on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
    9. Make sure your BlackBerry smartphone is not hour-glassing or have an application error appearing on the LCD screen. However if there is a JVM 507/513 error appearing on the BlackBerry the Desktop Manager for Mac will pick up the device and reload the software.
    10. Make sure "Open using Rosetta" is not running/disabled on Mac OS X. KB Article.
    I will be adding more tips and tricks to this post once I come across them.
    Feel free to share with other community members and I always welcome suggestions and comments.

    Hey burko74,
    Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, do you get prompt for mass storage mode?
    Also does the mac pick up the media card as a removable hard drive?
    Have you tried to do a battery reset as well?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • Cannot sync - BB8900 with BB Desktop Manager for Mac

    After first downloading Desktop Manager, I was able to sync with my 8900 once.  Now, every time I connect the device (via USB), Desktop Manager opens, attempts to connect to the device, and fails.  Status of the device shows at 'not connected'.
    I've followed the sync services set up for Entourage and Mac. I've also uninstalled Desktop Manager and reinstalled, but it didn't resolve it.  I've disabled my password protection from the 8900 as well, and that hasn't worked.
    I used PocketMac before, and while there were some issues with data loss and overlap, it worked most of the time.  I have uninstalled PocketMac at this point.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey Maarten08 and autoca,
    I would suggest doing the following:
    Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac, restart the computer.
    Then perform the following:
    On the Mac computer, navigate to Macintosh HD >
    System > Library >
    Extensions.
    Locate the BlackBerryUSB.kext and
    BlackBerryUSBDev.kext files.
    Move these two files to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash.
    Restart the Mac computer.
    Then go to www.blackberry.com/desktop to re-download BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac.
    Install and then hook up the BlackBerry and make sure you have mass storage mode enabled.
    For information on how to enable mass storage mode: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB13564
    Let me know if you run into any trouble.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac won't remember my sync preferences

    Each time I close BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac I and reopen it, I have to set all of my preferences for syncing my Calendar and Contacts again.  The software remembers my selections as long as I don't quit the application, but once I quit it and reopen it they are gone.
    I have tried deleting the plist files, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but nothing fixes this issue.
    This is happening on both of my MacBook Pros and with both of my BlackBerry devices.
    Both MacBook Pros are running 10.6.1 and I have a BlackBerry Tour running 4.7.1.40 and a BlackBerry Curve 8330m running 4.5.0.138.

    despite posts to the contrary there is a big compatibility problem with Apple LION and Blackberry Desktop manager.
    BB are pretending that the problemdoes not exist, but just look over all the boards here and elsewhere.
    Come on BLACKBERRY - sort it out
    YOUR SHARE PRICE AND SALES DATA ARE TELLING YOU THAT CUSTOMERS ARE VOTING WITH THEIR FEET. I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE BB AS I USE THEM FOR MY BUSINESS.
    GET ON TOP OF THE ISSUE - PLEASE
