Syncing Storm with Mac with PocketMac

I can't sync iCal with my BB Storm 9530 using PocketMac. It doesn't find my Storm when I plug in the USB cable. I previously had a BB Curve and it synced up just fine. But the Storm is not syncing. Help!!!!

Hello Blueline,
Are you getting any sort of errors when you try to synchronize your device and the computer? My initial thought is that your PocketMac version might be out of date or the newer drivers will need to be installed on the Mac in order for PocketMac to see your device.
This thread might help you out, assuming you know where to download the PocketMac software and the updates for it (if not, here is the software link).

Pocketmac deleted calendar entries on mac and won't sync events with BB Storm.

I just removed the google sync from my Storm and now Pocketmac is not syncing properly. Basically all my calendar events are still on my Storm (luckily) however pocketmac has now wiped all calendar entries from Entourage! I have tried re-syncing with BB overwrites Mac however this only places one long calendar event (months long) with strange characters in the name (i.e. garbage).
Does anybody have a suggestion for me to try to get my calendar entries back into Entourage and for Pocketmac to properly sync?

What happened is that when you deleted google sync it also most likely deleted the google calendar on your storm and put all of your calendar entries into the Storm's "DEFAULT CALENDAR"
Unfortunately, the default calendar will NOT sync with anything (one of my frustrations with my BB 8320).
Fixing it is somewhat complicated, but this is what I had to do.
Back up your storm with Desktop Manager
Go to Options>Advanced Options>Default Services and set your default calendar to your e-mail address and and your messaging to the same e-mail address
Sync your storm with your calendar (hopefully you have a backup on your computer)
Look at your calendar -- you should have duplicate entries of almost everything, this is OK.
In the calendar hit the applications key (blackberry key) and go to SELECT CALENDAR and select "default Calendar". This will only show you what's in the default calendar and not the new one you just synced.
Go to Date 12/31/2035 -- yes 2035. This should take you to the bottom of the calendar -- I usually do this in Agenda View
Highlight the last date that you have in the calendar and hit the menu key and select DELETE PRIOR ITEMS. This should delete everything in the default calendar.
Now you should have single entries for most of your calendar items. However, there many still be some duplicates, usually recurring items, and these have to be deleted manually.
This is what worked for me
That's what I needed to do, and now it seems to be working fine.

I got it. Syncing Blackberry Storm using Mac with Missing Sync

I just bought my Storm Sat and have been trying to sync for days. I have a IBOOK G4 running the latest TIGER OS. I read all you guys post and I think it all helped a lot. Im a new BB user so it took me awhile to figure the phone. Ok, so anyway to the good stuff. As mentioned I followed some of the other threads, installing Pocket Mac and the updated driver. Uninstalling and re-installing. Taking the battery out and all that. None of that worked for me either like some of you. Keep getting the error message. So, I broke down and bought Missing Sync. Still wouldn't work. So, tonight I uninstalled PocketMac and deleted all files associated with off my Mac. Then I brought Missing Sync up on my Mac. On your Storm go to Options then Memory. Click on Mass Storage Mode Support select On. Then when you see Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode I selected Prompt or you could do Yes. Save Changes. Then go to Missing Sync just set what your preferences are for sync and click Sync. Boom- you are good to go.
This is what I did. It sync my Itunes and IPhoto and everything else. So, now Im at piece. Hope this will help someone. To everyone else thanks for your ideas cause it did help me with my dilemma, so I guess I will keep the Storm.

i managed to get both music and pictures onto my storm from my macbook, and from my storm to my macbook.
i had to go into options on the storm, then memory, then to "prompt" for auto enable mass storage mode when connected.
then i disconnected and re-connected the usb with pocketmac open on my macbook and it started synching. at first it synched everything BUT my music and photos. then i noticed when i plugged the usb back into my storm once more, two seperate blackberry harddrives appeared on my desktop, Blackberry1 and Blackberry2. I went into Blackberry1, then to the folder "home", then to the folder "user", then to the folders "music" and "photos" and just clicked and dragged music from my itunes library and photo library into those folders. then I tested it to make sure it worked. sounds great on the storm! it has to be done into the folders on Blackberry1 though, i tried it with Blackberry2 and even though it has the same folder names, when i tried to play the music i had dragged and dropped said it was an incompatible format. it's not the format, it's just the wrong drive.
hope this helps someone out, it worked for me!

Blackberry 8330 Syncing Contacts with Mac Desktop Address Book

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with PocketMac. I have been able to sync my calendar with iCal, and Tasks, but PocketMac never finishes the sync with the Contacts. I left it on all night and it still hadn't finished. I finally have to cancel the operation. I'm not getting any error messages; the sync just never completes. Any ideas? Could it be that the changes to the Address Book will really take 24 hours or longer to complete? Thanks for any and all help!

Sync iCal to Bberry curve with PocketMac

Imported calendar from Palm to iCal smoothly. Synchronized iCal to Bberry Curve with PocketMac 4.1. Every addition made in the desktop gets added to the Bberry but any deletions do not get synchronized. Ditto for the Bberry. Any deletions made do not get synchronized on the desktop. All entries and changes appear to be permanent, making the software unusable. Anybody? Using 10.5.5

I apologize for the several post. I'll go ahead and assume I accidentally submitted my response because I know my iPhone 4 is infallible. Anyways, and in a nutshell: Apple likes competition and has made it a company of quality. That being said, Apple has thought ahead of the more simple todo sync via wired connection. The wired connection for a todo is not a good idea. Do you realize how inconvenient it would be to have to sync your iTunes everyday or every moment the list is updated? Thus, Apple worked with Google (this may be inaccurate) to have an IMAP server sync in your mail program. You should see in your IMAP folders, using gmail, "Apple Mail To Do". It will sync your todos with gmail immediately. The setup is annoying though, and some people just want a list with colors and all of that. This is where the app store comes in. I have a to do app that is by far the most sophisticated yet simple program that sync via WebDAV (I think?) or either bonjour. It's called iPronto You have to be on the same network to sync wirelessly to your comp, assuming you have an OSX (a Mac). I hope I was clear. (This was sent from my iPhone, ha)

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

Are you having problems syncing with Pocketmac, Missing Sync or Media Sync? Here's what I did...

Just throwing this out there as a solution that worked for my situation. It may not work for everyone's needs.
After NUMEROUS emails back and forth with Pocketmac support I was finally told that Pocketmac will not work if Media Sync is also installed. It causes the "Error 1 Skipping" problem due to a USB driver conflict. So I tried Missing Sync's free trial. No good. It would not sync either, so paying money for the non trial version wasn't going to happen.
So, I ended up keeping Media Sync to keep my iTunes library synced and I started to use a wonderful little free app called "Google Sync". It works beautifully for my needs. It runs in the background (with no negative effect to the BB's performance or battery life) and automatically syncs your gmail contacts and google calendar to your BB device. If you change something on either the BB itself or online, google sync catches it and updates the other accordingly.
So if your sick and tired of messing around with Pocketmac and Missing Sync, give Google Sync a try. I love it!

it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
That's a issue discussed in the past.
It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you.

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Can't sync iPhone with iTunes on Mac book pro.

I have a iPhone 4 that I just now updated to version 5.1. I have a Macbook Pro running Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
When I connect my phone to the computer w the USB cable, nothing happens. iTunes does not "see" the phone.
I also have wifi and when I try to sync using this, I get a message on the phone "Sync will resume when"Macintosh.local" is available."
I have done a sync before with no problem using the cable. I have restarted both the phone and the computer. What am I doing wrong now?

I have tried all the suggestions on the support site Mr. Finch suggested. I have removed iTunes and after the third try, have downloaded and reinstalled iTurns. Still no sync. I have rebooted the router, computer, iPhone and still no sync.
It worked fine a month ago. Yesterday the sync worked fine on my other macbook pro to sync File Maker Pro.
Any suggestions?

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?
