Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device. And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB. Can anyone shed any light on this?

You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

Blackberry Bold 9900 would not sync with Desktop Software for MAC

When connecting my Bold 9900 to my MAC the Desktop Software opens correctly, phone is recognised and connected but the SYNC option is not available. I cannot click the Green sync button nor click the relevant sync button under the device tab.
All answers would be much appreciated
Thanks
Dimitris

Hi dimitrisuk,
Welcome to the support community!
Can you please verify that your synchronization settings have already been configured? This article should provide more information. "Unable to configure sync or click the sync icon due to the icons being greyed out in BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac" KB26367
This link to the user guide provides the steps to verify that your synchronization settings have been configured. http://blck.by/14BZb5q
Let me know if that helps.

Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

hi...
I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
thanks

Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
Look on the forum for additional details.

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.
Hillman

Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
"The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

Hi choochoo2,
Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

Palm Desktop native for Mac with Intel

Is there any chance of Palm Desktop native for Mac with Intel.
To HP/Palm: please supports Palm Desktop for Mac and release a new version native for Mac with Intel. There is not competition for such a software (derived from Apple Claris Organizer). You will sell HP/Palm devices for sure. Actually, the main reason I did that in the past was because I could have the Palm Desktop software for Mac.
Post relates to: Palm V

I just wrote Access an inquiry about updating the Palm Destop to Mac Intel compatible. Not holding my breath. Shame such an elegant, simple and effective piece of software should just fade away.

Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac not updating 9900

Hi,

I have a mac running the latest Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac. And a Bold 9900 on 7.0 bundle 1465.
The Blackberry Desktop Software says new update available 7.0.0.1672. So i proceed to update the blackberry. It says installing and reboots. But it still has the old version, and the Blackberry Desktop Software still says new version available. (7.0.0.1672) So im going in a loop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey luckyBB,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I noticed you listed your carrier as T-Mobile UK, this provider does not have the 9900 yet. Can you explain what provider this 9900 is from so I can better assist in getting that bundle of software

Desktop Software for Mac Lion OSX Doesn't Show or Sync any Contacts

Hi there,
I am a brand new Blackberry user and so far am VERY frustrated. I also own an iPhone and love the thing because it just WORKS. Anyways, I downloaded the Desktop Software so I can sync my Mac Address Book with my Blackberry Curve 9360. Souldn't the software give me a choice of where I would like to sync my contacts from? It doesn't. And it just shows a blank empty list. I read another topic on here that iCloud needs to be disabled. I'm not sure how exactly to disable it but believe I did. But it still shows a blank list. Besides, iCloud is very handy and why would I want to turn it off. Shouldn't BLACKBERRY fix this problem so it works? I am not happy and if this doesn't get resolved in the next 24 hours, I will be returning to Rogers and sending this phone back and will NEVER return to RIM again. No wonder the stocks are plumiting. PLEASE HELP ME! I'm a tech savy guy and even I can't figure out how to get my contacts onto my Blackberry without doing it manually (which isn't going to happen).

I can't sync my contacts to my mac (BB 9900, OSX Lion, Latest desktop software for mac installed)

Hi, I have a new blackberry bold 9900, the latest operating system for Apple (OSX Lion), the latest update on my desktop software and the latest update on my BB. However, I am only able to sync 37 of my contacts to Address Book on my mac, and I want to sync all 250+. I am not sure why this is.
Also for some reason, my new contacts are being saved to my googlemail contact list, although i have never specified this. Is there a way to stop this, and is there a way to change the contacts that are already saved on my googlemail list to my Desktop list?
thank you for your help in advance....

Hey All,
DBJohnson - The Forget Device option removes all the synchronization history that is associated with that BlackBerry so if there was a corruption in the synchronization folder it would be cleared and fixed.
rubenmarcano - How many contacts are setup on the Mac Address Book? Do you 2 different Address Books on the BlackBerry? To find this information, go into Contacts on the BlackBerry and press the menu key and select Options and it will list 2 Contact lists. IF there is 2, that can cause the problem since BlackBerry Desktop Software will only synchronize with 1 contact list. I look forward to your reply.
Joycetz - Did you sync not work from BlackBerry to Mac or vice versa? Also are you using Outlook or Mac Address Book or Entourage?

Parallels Desktop Software for Mac

My husband has several business CD Programs, provided by his customers, that can only be opened with Windows. Will Parallels Desktop for Mac work with OS X 10.3.9? This would be his only purpose in purchasing the software. Efforts to get an answer from the Parallels website have been fruitless. Figured if anyone would know it would be Apple folks.
Thanks,
Helen Donnelly

Parallels is designed only to work on Intel Macs. Since Intel Macs all originally came with 10.4.4 or later, logic would say that Parallels does not work with it.
Therefore I'd be looking for a PowerPC solution from my FAQ* http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
Note, you also have to be extremely careful with such programs as many are provided on non-standard disks which may not work with a slot loading drive, if that's what you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
If you have a slot loading drive and the disks are obviously nonstandard http://www.macsales.com/ offers a variety of tray loading drives that work well with the Mac.
A slot loading drive has no "cup-holder" type drawer (NEVER should it be used as a cup-holder!) that comes out, and just lets you insert the disk in a slot on the machine.
Edit: the iMac G4 has a tray, but it is very hard to eject manually, and therefore I'd still use an external optical drive as opposed to the one internal to the iMac G4. If you have another model Mac, please let us know.

Need AV or IS Software for Mac with Windows apps?

I would like to know if it is advisable to install anti-virus or Internet security software on a Mac if you run both Mac and Windows applications. I ask this question because I understand that those programs may not as necessary for Mac applications only but I wonder if the Windows applications that I installed under Parallels Desktop 7 will cause the computer to be vulnerable. I also wonder whether in installation of the AV or IS software will protect both the Mac and Windows virtual machines. Thanks

Antivirus software for OS X is not necessary. However if you run MS Windows in any fashion meaning via Boot Camp or virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion then you should treat the MS Windows installation as you would ANY MS Windows installation, in other words install antivirus software for MS Windows! The good news is even if your MS Windows becomes totally diseased this will in no way affect the OS X installation.
In your case because you have installed Windows in Parallels then get yourself some antivirus software for MS Windows and install away. You can resist the urge for antivirus software for OS X though for many reasons, first an foremost is there are zero (none, nada, zip) viruses for OS X. While there are some trojans out there for OS X they are few and far between. The primary difference between a Trojan and virus is that Trojans must be downloaded and installed by the user. The lesson to learn here is only download from trusted sites and any site that tells you to download something should be approached with a great deal of caution. In other words if you aren't sure don't do it and come to a these forums and ask. The next reason OS X doesn't need antivirus software is most take up a lot resources on your computer and slow it down, and finally many tend to create more problems than they solve. If you still aren't convinced then download ClamXav, it's free, unobtrusive and kept up-to-date.

Unable to update to OS 6.0 Bundle 2647 either wirelessly or via Desktop Software for Mac

I have a BB Torch 9800 and I've tried all I know to update the system software on my BB wirelessly but it gives me the message "Update cannot continue, Update using BB Desktop Manager on your computer". So I plugged my BB in but it doesn't give me a prompt or anything to update and I'm not sure what's wron. Help please!

Hello azureJTR,
I'm not sure if you have solved your issue yet or not...
To update your BlackBerry's operating system on a Mac is a simple procedure but you can only upgrade to the level that your wireless carrier has released to. I see you're using Bell and they are usually quick to update their offerings.
Follow this guide item:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/32688/Update_device_applications_2.0_Mac...
New available versions of the BlackBerry's OS are shown when you click the "Show Other Versions" button. (Your BlackBerry needs to be connected for the Desktop software to know both what applications you have installed and the Operating System).
If a newer version than the one you currently have loaded is available in that menu, then do a backup then highlight the item then follow the onscreen commands.
