Sync BlackBerry & Mac

What is the best software/application to sync a BlackBerry Storm 9530 and a Mac?  I make all calendar and contact changes on my BlackBerry and would like to keep my BB as the system of record.  The new BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac only allows 2 way sync (which I cannot get to work correctly) and no option to override my Mac with BlackBerry.
I have tried all of the following and have had little or no success:
BB & Entourage 2008 Calendar/Contacts
BB & iCal
BB & Address Book
BB & Gmail
What email account syncs best with BB calendar and contacts (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc)?
Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Sync for Mac is what I used on my blackberry. I use entourage for mail, its like outlook but on macs and came in the microsoft student office i bought. Google it and you should be able to find it. Mine works fine but i am guessin you are using the newest BB because of the memory card. Not sure if the program I have will work for that one.
I would be more specific but the computer im on doesnt have the program on it.

    There are two things that should really be put forward in this post.
    First, this is not a final candidate of Media Sync, but a "Preview Version". In other words, I'm assuming it's Beta.
    Second, the following cannot be stated clearly enough: "After installing the Preview Version of BlackBerry® Media Sync, other software previously used to synchronize data with your Mac®, such as PocketMac® for BlackBerry® devices or Missing Sync, will no longer be able to connect to your device and will not work until BlackBerry® Media Sync is uninstalled."
    I like Media Sync. It works with my Bold and I can import my iTunes playlists. What I don't understand is why it would, by its installation, nullify other applications like PocketMac which are just as important (if not much, much more). What's the point if installing one cancels-out the other? Is this being corrected? What is BlackBerry/RIM's development timeline on this software (ie. when can we expect a finished version which works with other applications)?

  • Blackberry mac sync

    i recently converted with the rest of NY and brought a blackberry. however, there's one slight problem i can't sync it to my laptop. the cd that comes with the phone has been installed onto my comp but for some odd and slightly strange reason the two just won't connect. they are almost lost in translation if you will. now i can bring music files over and place them onto the memory card in the phone but transferring files still seems to be a problem. if anyone has a suggestion it will be greatly appreciated. thanx!

  • How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

    I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
    This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
    Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
    Thanks!

    I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...
    /Users/bd/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.DotMacSync
    I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
    are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
    We might even have to go in and Copy this to the Desktop then Trash the originl...

  • Iphone contacts won't sync to mac

    Hi
    Very new to mac but have searched for this; too many answers with too much variance so I have to ask myself, sorry.
    I've had an iphone 4 for 2 years, always syncing contacts with outlook on my old PC. Everything worked fine until icloud; I then found that any new contacts weren't syncing to outlook, I'm assuming because the phone was only syncing to icloud?
    No matter, decided not to worry as I wanted to buy a mac, having worked with them recently.
    So my issue now is (very similar to before) that I can't sync my contacts from my iphone to my mac, again because it insists the phone is backing up to icloud. I tried this morning; it prompted me that the phone was 'on' icloud and therefore not syncing with mac etc; I checked the box to sync contacts, hit apply and merge in the hopes I could get my contacts from my phone onto the mac. Instead it's created another phone book on my iphone with just the three contacts that were on the mac?!
    Now when I go to contacts on my iphone it has three groups: All contacts, all on my iphone and all icloud. The first and last have all my contacts in; the all on my iphone has zero. I know the transition to something new isn't always easy, but I'm now really confused.
    The Mac is on Snow Leopard, and my understanding of browsing the forums is that only lion will work with icloud. I haven't bought any software yet, so I'm not concerned about compatibilty if I upgrade. I AM however concerned as to how icloud will work if I do upgrade?
    Will it use the iMac or the iphone as the 'senior' device?
    If it uses the mac will I lose all my contacts?
    With cloud do I not need to backup my iphone?
    What's the difference between backup, sync and icloud?
    So many questions I know; really hope I'm not shot down in flames as my first time on here. Any advice about this appreciated.

    iCloud is a second attempt at dealing with making data available among devices - MobileMe was the first and was limited to just a few things, contacts and calendar events. iCloud goes much further. It isn't easy to meld two or more databases. The first think to keep in mind is that iCloud holds the truth - that is the data that is pushed out everywhere else. If you log on to icloud.com you can see the addressbook and calendar that will be sent to all your devices. The devices' job is to send new data or edited data to the cloud.
    With that in mind, I simply upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion - after turning my phone off. My thinking was that if disaster struck I could delete the computer calendar & addressbook database. Then I could log onto iCloud and make sure my calendar and addressbook was okay and then let the cloud fix the computer. And it true disaster struck I could delete everything in the cloud and turn the iPhone back on which would repopulate the cloud and then my computer.
    What actually happened is that after I upgraded to Lion I wound up with an addressbook that had 'on my Mac' and 'on the cloud' which had the same stuff. I deleted the 'on my mac' stuff. My calendar, if I recall right, just had what I expected. I tested by making an event and fact contact on the phone - they appeared on my computer. Did the same on my computer - they appeared on my phone.
    Why all the hub-bub over Lion? A couple things. First, there's always an outcry of Mac OS XYZ broke my computer! Not every upgrade goes smoothly. Do a search here for Kappy's upgrade advice, follow it, and your chances of a successful upgrade are pretty good. Second, we've had quite a few OS upgrades in the last 5 years that brought small changes and new services. Lion was different, it really shook things up and lots of people don't like it when their cheese is moved. Third, Lion isn't compatible with old software written before Apple switched to Intel processors and lots of people just don't read before they upgrade.
    Should you upgrade? Since SL lost the ability to sync with iOS devices iCloud alone is worth the price of admission. The changes between OS versions always mean that developers stop supporting the older OS at some point and I suspect that Lion changes things enough that SL users are going to find less software being made for the OS pretty rapidly.

  • My Genius mixes do not update/sync from MAC to iPhone 5S

    My original sync from mac to iPhone  (when I first bought it) is there, but since then any & all subsequent updates (new songs, deleted Mixes still showing on iPhone, removing Holiday songs from Genius) will update in my mac but not on my iPhone 5S?   I have Match and have tried updating Genius & Match numerous time but no luck Any advice?

    okay.. when you connected your iphone to your mac and click an on device summary. then scrolled down the. there should a line that says Manually manage music and videos. if  is not have a check on the box click, then click on it after that click on that says  apply and then you should be done

  • ICal won't sync from Mac to iPhone

    I have the same issue.  Recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now have the problem. 

  • Entourage Tasks and iCal "To dos" have disappeared during sync with .Mac

    All of my “tasks” (both completed and incomplete) in Entourage and "to dos" iCal have disappeared, apparently during a sync with dot Mac. This problem has happened twice in the past two weeks (the first time I lost all of my Entourage “notes” too, but I haven’t put any back).
    The tasks show no problems for a week and then all of a sudden disappear from both Entourage and iCal. My calendar and address book (which I also sync) seem not to be affected. Entourage doesn’t seem to offer a way to sync the calendar without syncing the tasks as well.
    Here are my questions:
    Why did my tasks disappear?
    How do I prevent their disappearance again?
    has anyone else experienced this problem?
    My Entourage database is fine. I’m running Entourage 11.2.3 (which rencently added a feature "sync services" that allows syncing with .Mac and iCal).

    I had the same problem and I got my To Dos to appear when I clicked on the To Dos by Priority column header and checked/unchecked the Hide Items outside Calendar View option. (Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is checked or unchecked ... it displays all of the items ... at least until restart iCal ... then it is a bit unpredictable.)
    I also have intermittent problems when I create or change a new Event. Sometimes the change does not appear until I move off the page that I am displaying and come back (e.g. move forward a week in week view and then back.)

  • Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

    Hi,
    I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
    I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
    I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
    In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
    I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
    Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.
    Mike B.

  • No Longer Syncing to .Mac

    Thanks for reading this.
    I'm a fairly decent techie, so I'm only posting this after exhaustive research and countless attempts at a solution.
    For starters I'm running 10.3.9 and iSync 1.5
    (Yes, yes, I want to upgrade to tiger, but I'm in the middle of a Final Cut Project, so I hope you can respect that.)
    After a failed Sync session, a re-Sync hung up on "...Calendars and To Do Items" of the time bar. I had to force quit. (This I know creates all kinds of problems.)
    iSync will automatically try to continue syncing if you restart the program. So after an OS restart, I delete my devices and try and reset my .Mac sync. (reset .Mac files and use the info from this computer).
    Same hang up. Restart.
    (Read through the discussion board for clues...)
    Delete possible corrupt iSync files - User>Library>Application Support>ISync
    and it's plist files.
    I open iSync. I unregister my computer. I close iSync. I take my sign in name and password out of my .Mac System prefs. Close it. Restart the OS.
    Enter my info into my .Mac prefs (yes, my iDisk does connect and work)
    Open ISync, register my computer, choose sync for first time using info from my computer.
    Same hang up. Restart.
    Delete and reinstall iSync and then the same process as above.
    Same hang up.
    Near as I can tell. It's either a file it can't overwrite in my .Mac iSync folder
    (IDisk>library>Application Support>SyncServices) (which I fear deleting for some reason...
    OR
    A corrupt iCal file (the program and the Calendar work fine).
    Suggestions? I need to sync (for safety, as well as my phone, on a daily basis)
    I'm a freelancer and am constantly updating my calendar and info.
    Much appreciated (in advance) for your brain cell usage.
    Dario

    Phyllis,
    For your problem, I would recomend what some other posting suggested.
    Go to your System Preferences control panel in your Dock, choose your .Mac account. Remove your name and password. Quit/Close the System Preferences control panel. Re Open the System Preferences control panel and re enter your info. That should kickstart your connection. If that doesn't work try the same process but RESTART your computer in betweeen closing and opening the System Preferences control panel. Good luck.
