Updating os 6 on blackberry bold 9700

i currently reside in australia and i'm having difficulties trying to upgrade to the new OS 6 when almost all my friends have done so.
I'm using a macbook and apparently, the window to update my software does not appear.
anyone has any suggestions or any idea why I can't seem to update to the new OS 6? and if you know how, please suggest how to update to os 6 on a mac?
cheers!

Your Sprint people are silly..,
1. Download and install the older version of the OS.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=FC3CF452D3DA8402BEBB765225CE8C0E
You want to select the 9650 device and scroll DOWN to the link to download the 5.0.0.1030 Multilanguage software.
(which has this filename: File name: 9650_512AMEA_PBr5.0.0_rel1675_PL4.2.0.451_A5.0.0.1030_Sprint_L.P.exe
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have used up all of your chances to enter the correct unlock code, there is nothing further you can do. Even if you happen to have now the correct code, it is useless. Only the factory can now (legally) unlock your BB. Typically, I've heard that the cost of having BlackBerry do this for you will be greater than the cost of just buying a new one. But, you are able to ask them...see here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.jsp
Note, however, that this process will start with a fee...
If you obtained your unlock code from somewhere but it was incorrect, your recourse could be with them -- however, they may well question why you exhausted all 10 attempts before contacting them.
Good luck!

BlackBerry Bold 9700: Bluetooth assistant

Hello,
I have the BlackBerry Bold 9700.
I want to send files and receive files via bluetooth?
How to do that?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
See this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
If the other device is not a BB, then substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending or receiving device. If the receiving device is a BB, then do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Bold 9700, Error Message

My Blackberry Bold 9700, has been displaying a message which says: 'JVM Error 102'. Any suggestions to solve this issue would be very welcome.
Thanks.

Hello Rachanashah and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
You will need to reinstall your device software to correct this issue.
When you connect your BlackBerry® to your Mac® it can take up to thirty minutes to make a connection. You will select the update option on the dialogue box that appears to reinstall the software.
If you are unable to complete the software reload then it would be recommended you contact your mobile network provider for further investigation and transfer to RIM® for further assistance.
Hope this helps answer your question.

HI John,
So you've tried emptying the Safari cache cleared cookies???
According to that link they are referring to *an older version of Safari (3).*
Go back to that page, scroll down and click No. You can at least provide feedback.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, try opening Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode.
Relaunch Safari. See if that makes a difference.

Blackberry Bold-9700 Challenging N900 !!

Hi Guys,
I for one very strongly believe for a Audio-Visual product maybe also like a Cellphone the display has to be really good especially if you are also gonna use it as an entertainment device. So on the same lines I was having this discussion which later on turned out into an argument with one of my friend.
Now he has a Blackberry-Bold 9700 which has a Transmissive TFT LCD, Which comes with a Light sensing screen and Backlighting. He was saying that the display of Blackberry Bold 9700 is better then that of the N900. Though the pixel ratio of the N900(800x480) could be higher than that of the Bold (480x360). He said that please do not boast about the high pixel ratio and the 3.5 inch screen real estate it could be all futile if it is not able to produce that quality pictures, with the Transmissive TFT LCD and the Backlighting the display of the BB Bold look a lot richer and lively then the N900. When I looked at it though I kind of felt no the N900 had a better display. But frankly speaking I couldn’t really decide, what he was saying also did make sense as the picture in the Bold looked very lively?
What do you guys think? Does the Transmissive TFT LCD, Light sensing screen, backlighting makes the Blackberry Bold 9700 have a better display than that of the N900. This despite being a N900 forum I expect unbiased observations from Die-Hard Fans of the N900 who also equally appreciate a quality product from a competitor if it truly deserves some admiration and appreciation

this is laughable...cant believe that anyone who understand the visibliiyt rations woule eveer prefer a device to NOT have 2.5 times the pixels and visiblity!!
the n900 has 2.5 times the visibility of the bold. the bold has the same resolution the iphoney has had until this year. it only looks vibrant because of the colors and icon-styling. the visibliliyt and clarity is no where near the same.

Unable to Import Unicode (csv) file to BlackBerry Bold 9700

Hi all
I'm facing some problems with my new BlackBerry Bold 9700. I have Nokia mobile, I exported my contacts using PC-Suite 7. The exported file includes Arabic characters, so the charset used was in Unicode. I've changed the heading for important fields (and removed others) so that they will match with BlackBerry. I imported the file with "BlackBerry Desktop Manager" using "Synchronize" feature. The import was successful, but the charset was in wrong format (just like viewing html page with different codepage!) it was like garbage!
Anyhow, I tried to export, as an example, one contact from my BB and I included Arabic text, when I exported the contact list as (csv) I received a "?????"!!! I then imported the same file with "Synchronize" and strangly it did import and accepted the "?????" and displayed the actual Arabic text as a substitution.
How come BB don't support Unicode?! Is there anyway I can import my contacts from Nokia?
I appreciate any kind of help, hints or tips, thanks in advance...
BlackBerry Bold 9700
v5.0.0.442 (Platform 5.1.0.121)

I guess, the only option that can help in such situation is to use Outlook Express!
This is how I managed to do it:
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
3. Done
or
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Export from Outlook Express as an address book (WAP) to use it on other machine
3. Import to Outlook Express (you can use Address Book from Accessories)
4. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
5. Done

Does anybody know when verizon is going to introduce Blackberry Bold 9700?

Verizon is not releasing a 9700 series Bold, as those are not CDMA phones. The Bold 9650 is what VzW has released.

VCMA working on Blackberry Bold 9700

Hi!
FYI: I´ve tested the vCMA on a BB Bold 9700, is working fine...
But the higher resolution of the display makes the fonts very small (on the logon screen).
After the logon screen, it looks normally.
But my question is when vCMA comes in a production state??
This beta exists since a long time, without any changes, ...no updates etc...
Updates for newer devices like the latest Blackberry Generation of Apple´s iPhone are welcome!
Have anyone informations about this?
best regards from Austria!

BlackBerry Bold 9700 doesn't connect

Hi,
I just got my BB Bold 9700, but I already managed to make a problem. I disconnected it without safely ejecting it. Now it only charges through USB and it doesn't connect to sync.
Does anyone know how to make this work again?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel

Daniel, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Have you tried a complete shut down of the Mac, and restart, as well as a reboot on the BlackBerry device?
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Blackberry bold 9700 intranet access

I have connected my bold 9700 to my office LAN and attempted to access our intranet running Apache server on SCO Unixware 7 using the Blackberry browser, but it always times out. Is there any reason this should not work? Access does work from an Itouch browser.

I did find a way by changing my default browser to hotspot from internet, but this seems to work inconsitently, even while connected via WI FI on mu LAN.
