Sync BlackBerry 8800 with MacBook

I'm using MacBook running 10.4.9. Also, I'm using BlackBerry 8800.
Now, I have tried both PocketMac & Missing Sync for BlackBerry, but both didn't work. I managed to sync with iCal, but not Address Book. Can anyone help me?
I want to know if the USB cable matters? 'Cos I left the original BlackBerry USB cable at office for synchronizing with my desktop PC. So I use the USB cable for my Motorola mobile phone, which is also USB to mini-USB. Could this be the cause for not being able to sync? But if that is the case, why I can sync iCal? So, I suppose this was not the cause.
Now, if that's not the cause, can anyone please help? Greatly appreciate.
Thanks and regards,
Gary

I believe that it's actually more accurate to say that the 'decision' was one by RIM rather than Mark/Space. Here's what the developer of the Missing Sync for Blackberry has to say about using BES wireless synchronization:
"…you can sync the BlackBerry to the BES, but in order to sync the BlackBerry to the Mac using Missing Sync you will need to turn off the BES sync and then sync, when you are done syncing with your Mac you can turn the BES sync back on on the device.
Steps for turning off BES wireless sync:
1. Launch Address Book on the BlackBerry.
2. Access the Menu (press wheel or menu button depending on device).
3. Choose Options.
4. If BES is enabled, there will be a Wireless Synchronization menu item.
5. Make sure the Wireless Synchronization option is set to NO.
6. Repeat for each of the following that have Wireless Sync enabled: Calendar, Tasks, and MemoPad.
For the sync with Missing Sync to work the wireless sync must be turned off at the application level.
Please note, if you are trying to sync to both the Mac and the BES then you need to click on the 'Preference' option in Missing Sync and check the option: 'Allow syncing to multiple computers'. If you do not check that option then you will not be able to keep everything in sync when changes are made on the device and then synced to the BES before syncing to the Mac."

  • Syncing Blackberry Bold with MacBook Pro (Running OS X Mavericks)

    I recently purchased a Blackberry Bold 9900 and am attemting to sync my Calendar (iCal), Contacts, Notes and Reminders with the BB 9900.
    I understand that if you are using more recently Mac OS, SyncServices is no longer active and we need to use Blackberry Link.  But Blackberry Link only works for BB10 and higher.
    I am using Bb Desktop Manager, however, when I go to the calendar, contacts, etc. tabs on the left, it tells me for calendar that no syncable calendar can be found and under contacts it tells me to enable SyncServices, but I cannot do that since I am using an updated OS X.
    I am fine with plugging in my BB always to sync, but do not know how to remedy this issue.  Thanks.

    Also - I need to add that the printer is sitting about an inch away from the Mac. 

  • How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

    Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

    thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
    cheers.
    Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

  • Sync Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX

    Hi.
    Does anyone know how to sync a Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX, in order to get all contacts over to an iPhone.
    Is there a free software out there (whyever Nokia doesn´t provide one).
    Thx,
    Mike

    Nokia used to produce Mac versions of the PC Suite software back in the long-gone days of the early Communicator series, but Apple applied pressure for that to stop, because they wanted all Apple users to sync with their own iSync software.
    Regretably, Apple is not great at ensuring compatibility with all phones from all manufacturers. For more information, go to http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download - you will see that the original Nokia 8800 is compatible with iSync but that subsequent versions like 880 Sirocco, 8800 Arte etc. are not yet covered. 
    iSync itself is made by Apple, and the Nokia site will link to Apple to download it. Nokia does provide some plugins to make some common models work, but I don't think that later 8800 versions are included. It is possible to search for third-party plgins that may solve the issue if your 8800 is not the original model.

  • Blackberry 8800 with telering provider

    Hi, I live in Austria, Europe. I have a Blackberry 8800 and recently had to change the provider (previously A1 Vodafone).
    I now have a SIM card from "telering" (part of the T-Mobile group, Austria) with a contract called "Grosser Basta", which includes 2GB data volume.
    However, I have no idea how to activate GPRS or EDGE to get data transfer. The phone shows GSM only, I can phone and send (and receive) text messages, but I have NO e-mail or Internet access. Telering is not very helpful, I'm afraid.
    If anyone can help I'd be very grateful, thanks in advance.
    Greetings from Austria, Peter Pischler.

    Hello Peter_987 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    It sounds like your PIN has not been provisioned for data with the new mobile network carrier. 
    If you go to Options>Advanced Options>Host Routing Table, do you have any entries listed? If not, if you do Menu>Register now, do you get the registration message?
    If you answer No to either of these questions then you will need to contact the current mobile carrier and ensure your data services are provisioned.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can not sync my Blackberry 8830 with MacBook using Pocket Mac for BlackBerryto Entourage 2008

    I recently purchased a Verizon plan with my new BlackBerry 8830 Curve. I also downloaded pocketmac for blackberry with the Verizon technical support person. He spent almost 2 hours with me yesterday. We still can not sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar events to my mackbook on Entourage 2008.
    This is the message I get:
    [02:20:57.110] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
    [02:21:01.076] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool. 
    PS, they even typed in locate incorrectly.
    Can some help? I am stressed out that I only have one location where my contacts are located- the BB
    Thanks
    Henry

    Guess what ? Pocketmac for Blackberry just released a new version this afternoon. 4.125.
    I downloaded the new version and it now has a sync for Entourage 2008 and it works BB to Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 to BB.
    Thanks to them for finally fixing this major flaw

  • Sync Blackberry invites with my google calendar

    I am new to the blackberry and have had some headaches setting up my calendar the way I wanted it to work.  Using google sync, I was finally able to sync my google calendars to my blackberry and also set it up so that when I make a new entry on my blackberry it gets uploaded to google.
    However, just today I began to get a bunch of invites sent to my blackberry for a number of upcoming meetings.  When I accept these invites, they show up in my blackberry calendar but do not sync with my google calendar.  Is there any way to make this happen?  I don't really look at my blackberry calendar too often and find it frustrating that I am not able to have these meetings uploaded to my google calendar.
    I tried searching around for an answer and while I saw some posts about other people having similar issues, I can't seem to find any solution.

    I used Outlook Express years ago, and going on bad memory. Does it have a calendar function, or notes? At any rate, you can't set the Desktop Software to sync a database on the BlackBerry with an app on the computer that doesn't have the functionality to support that database.

  • Syncing Blackberry Tour with iCal?!

    I've tried syncing my phone and over. My contacts are coming through in my address book, but my calendar events aren't syncing with iCal. Any suggestions? 

    Hi,
    I do not believe you can recover the erased records from the Blackberry.
    Two points to prevent recurrence. You can have desktop manager set to backup
    device automatically when they connect. The option is under device options pictured
    in the KB below.
    See KB22208 you should be getting a warning message that major amount of
    data is to be deleted. If you are set correctly this gives you the option to cancel
    the synchronization.
    Thanks,
