Using pocketmac to sync a replacement blackberry bold

I wondered if someone could help
Due to a fault I have had to replace my blackberry bold. My old blackberry was syncing happily with my mac using pocketmac.  Now with my new blackberry I get nothing, the mac doesn't seem to recognize the new blackberry and sync new device is greyed out.
I have the most up to date version of pocket mac and I also downloaded and installed the lastest drivers to my mac.  Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong
thanks

Make sure that your Device defaults on the BB both point to the same email address...
OPTIONS>ADVANCED OPTIONS>DEFAULT SERVICES
That may solve the problem since the DEVICE DEFAULT calendar doesn't sync to anything.

  • Blackberry 8700 sync issues with ical using pocketmac

    Hi,
    I have a Blackberry 8700, which I am syncing with my Powerbook G4 using Pocketmac Blackberry edition.
    It is all fine apart from one thing- sometimes (but not always!) when syncing with ical it will leave the notes off of the end of the appointment.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know of any fixes?

    I have a different problem syncing my Blackberry with Ical. My Ical shows several "Pocketmac" in the calendar on the left and Ical takes forever to activate. This happens both to my powerbook G4 and on my Imac G5.

  • Mac Calendar, Notes, and Tasks not syncing with Blackberry Bold

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro with out of the box with OS X Mountain Lion Installed.  Downloaded and installed the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop Software. Quickly realized that I am unable the sync the Mac Address Book with my BlackBerry Bold 9930 while the iCloud is enabled.  Once disabled, the my Address Book syncs like it used to.  
    Calendars, however, are not syncing.  I have tried several ways, including disableing the iCloud and creating New Calendars both "On My Mac" as well as "On iCloud" without success.   The error is as follows:
    "There are no writable calendars available for syncing on this computer."
    I am confident that once the solution to the writable calendars is found it will automatically resolve the syncing of Tasks too.  Please advise how I can solve this problem. 
    Secondly, I noticed that Mountain Lion comes equipped with an independent Notes App. Initially I thought this to be a really cool new feature of Mountain Lion when compared to my previous experiences with Snow Leopard.  For simplicity, I initially deleted all my old notes from the BlackBerry and transfered the notes files which were backed up from my previous MacBook Pro to the BlackBerry.  The tranfer occured without a hitch.  A few days later, I realized that eventhough my notes were syncing without a hitch, my edits were not being saved.  I.e. edits made on the Mac were not syncing forward to the BlackBerry and vice versa.  So I lost some content.  When trying to trouble shoot the problem I realized that the Desktop Software was programed to sync with "Apple Mail Notes" on the Mac, and not the Notes App.  So bascially, the notes were syncing from the wrong source and everytime I synced them, the notes on the Blackberry were being replaced by the original notes that I had moved over from my Old Mac.  How can I re-set/re-program the Desktop software to sync with the notes in the Notes app?  Or, where can I access these "Apple Mail Notes" So that I can make edits and add/delete notes so that they sync accurately? 
    Help!
    Thanks.

    Doesn't look like there's a way to sync BlackBerry MemoPad memos with Apple Notes.
    Apparently Apple's Notes app doesn't talk to Apple's Sync Services (older versions of Apple Mail do) - BlackBerry Desktop talks to the Apple apps using Sync Services. Sadly Notes still isn't playing nice, so BlackBerry can't sync notes.
    p.s. Microsoft Outlook 2011 DOES talk to Sync Services, but it only syncs my memo headers, and no text. *curls into ball*

  • 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.

  • CANNOT SYNC BLACKBERRY BOLD TO BLACKBERRY Z 10

    Have been using Blackberry Bold for many years and regulalry backing it up. Purchased Z10 and cannot back up my contacts. Blackberry Link does not recognise old phone. Please help.

    Hi Mazahir,
    Are you trying to do a regular backup or a device switch? This link should provide more information on the device switch process. http://ca.blackberry.com/support/transferring-to-bb10-device/personal.html
    Do you still have the BlackBerry Desktop Software installed? If so, is it able to detect the connected BlackBerry smartphone? Do you have a recently taken backup file of the BlackBerry Bold smartphone?
    Thanks,

  • Can I use Bluetooth to sync Blackberrry Bold diary and contacts with Desktop Manager (versions 6 or 7)?

    I have successfully set up a Bluetooth connection with my PC.  Can anyone tell me it is possible with either (or both) versions of the Desktop Manager software?  (i.e. update all info without need for a cable connection using a Blackberry Bold 9900)
    Many thanks!

    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it 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. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
    6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
    7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
    8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    Enjoy the new OS.

  • Syncing Blackberry Bold contacts to Outlook contacts

    When I sync the contacts from my Blackberry Bold 9780 to Outlook only several fields show up in Outlook: Full name, file as, and email. I want to sync the catagories, phone numbers, addresses, etc. Scotty

    sfbdds
    A couple of things to check into.
    Open internet explorer, then click on tools at the top of itunes and choose Windows Update.
    Run windows updates to install any updates for the computer.
    Once a set of updates are installed, restart the computer and run updates again.
    Keep running the windows updates until there are no more updates to install.
    Once windows is updated, open Outlook, and click on help.
    In the help menu, choose the updates option.
    Run any Outlook updates that are available.
    Hope this helps.

  • I bought my iPhone 4 almost a year ago. I also bought a new FOrd 150 with sync. technology. I have been able to sync to my husband's Blackberry, but still have not been able to input the sync. code my Ford is asking me for so that I can use the phone sync

    My phone is in bluetooth when I try to add a phone, but I can't find instructions on how to put in the PIN number to activate sync. in the truck. It is supposed to be simple. THe people @ Verizon told me they can't help. Can you give me the instructions? THey are not in the manual. OR do I have to go to Ford and have them sync. it for me for a fee, I am sure. When the dealership sync'd by Blackberry, it was free, but that is because I just bought a new truck. HELP!

    You need to get the owner's manual for your Ford's bluetooth system to see how to put your system into discovery mode for the iPhone as well as the appropriate steps to take. 
    In addition, you should see if the iPhone is supported.

  • My hard drive & mother board had to be replaced, I am trying to setup my laptop & trying to re-sync but it will not let me use my old sync key, how do I reactivate using old sync key???

    I have my old sync key, but it keeps saying that it is the wrong one every time I try to setup the sync option...how do I clear out what is currently on there so I can use my old sync key and get my original info back?

    When you go to set up Sync - '''''I already have a Sync account''''', then in the next window use '''''I don't have the device with me'''''
    As you type the Sync Key, don't type the hypens between the alpha / numeric characters.

  • Using BlackBerry Bold in Japan

    Hi!
    I'm planning a travel in Japan
    I've BlackBerry Bold and I'd like to know if my mobile can work in Japan
    I read some website and I've understood I'll do not have problems also because my mobile operator has a roaming agreement with NTT DoMoCo
    thank in advance for your help!
    Sabrina

    Hi,
    No.
    There are no carriers who have signed an agreement to carry a Blackberry Data signal in Japan so whilst you May be able to get a phone signal, but Actual Data is out.
    Edit: You might get lucky and get a BB signal, but this is against the nrom. There is no carrier who has signed an RIM agreement so anything is lucky, i.e. not supported.

  • Problems with Media and my Blackberry Bold, is it time for me to give up on RIM this is really annoying

    Hello RIM,
    Over the past year since owning a Blackberry, I have had on-going issues with syncing my music between my (2) bolds, so I know this is not specific to the hardware, I have also managed 400 BB's on a BES before so I have a fair idea of how to do things and troubleshoot issues.
    1. My music many times has sounded severely distorted through my car speakers, with lots of bad crackle that hurts my ears
    2. Transferring media between my device and my computer is actually really annoying and now I can't even find my playlists on Windows 7
    3. This should be seemless, it should not be buggy and I can't believe, having done so much support with your hardware and software that this continues to be a real problem for me
    I have a playbook, 2 blackberry bolds (I had to buy another 1 because Mobilicity does AWS only and Bell was just plain mean to me so I gave up on them).
    I am ready to go on ebay and get rid of this stuff because whilst I mostly use it as a phone (the reason I went with BB), it is important that I am able to do other things with it, without having to go through a dozen articles and issues just to get things to work, these should have been ironed out in the bug reporting process.
    So I have reinstalled both Itunes and BB Desktop Manager, both manually and via repair and tried even recopying over my playlists, this doesn't work.
    I can't believe the lousy support and buggy software, come on RIM, there is no excuses in this market, PICK UP YOUR GAME and update the BDS or I am done and so will the many other people who won't even take their time to write anything about it on here but vote with their wallet.

    Well you know the playbook is actually pretty cool but didn't seem to be ready to go out on time and being a late entrant to the market I would have expected them to showcase the playbook better, especially like how Nintendo gets out there and gets everyone playing with it hands on, there are some things about the Playbook that actually make it unique but it has been poorly marketed.
    Unfortunately getting BDS and everything to work properly should not be an issue, I have already spent thousands of dollars on hardware and my phone provider, what am I actually paying for here? So I will spell out some things that make the Blackberry Playbook special and what I would have been pushing had I been in charge of marketing. Firstly I would have had a few different campaigns going, one that targeted business corporate customers, regular business customers and the public that use them as their choice of smartphone and open to potentially buying one.
     1. Flash works really great, come on blackberry, why couldn't you team up with Facebook on this one? Facebook looks better on a Playbook than any other tablet I have seen, in fact the web looks better in general.
    2. Stereo speakers(dual), movies sound great, music sounds great and so do games, in this area, Playbook has the upper hand.
    3. USB & HDMI out - Allows much easier portability of presentations and transferring of files and now I believe there is the Wifi Sync as well.
    4. Blackberry Bridge - You know it's like RIM got backed into a corner on this one, but you know, I think this is the most secure way to operate a tablet, I love how when I turn off bluetooth on my bold, my personal and private information is removed and I can pass it to friends and family without my personal communications being looked into, with the other tablets, it's pretty hard to have different people on them, without probably creating different profiles, with the Playbook, you could share it between a team and it would seamlessly operate between them.
     5. True Multitasking - You know, you can play music, whilst playing a game and you can switch between applications, this funtions pretty awesome. I put on some cool music and loaded up a game on the device and someone whom had an Apple device was sincerely impressed he could listen to music whilst reading or playing games etc. This could also enhance Business Presentations that require audio in the background whilst displaying and going through different information / files or charts.
    6. QNX OS - I mean wow Blackberry, this Operating System is fantastic, I love it, this was an EXCELLENT choice and this I will give you 5 stars on, I can't wait to see what QNX can do on the Blackberry and I would not be surprised if the QNX OS became a major OS against the others, it definitely is polished and apps just install and are ready to go in no time.
     RIM has been ahead of the game and because of it's great name with-in business circles they have almost sold themselves and whilst it's nice to see that RIM has sold over 250,000 units with-in the first week this could have been drastically improved by realizing when getting into a NEW market, they need to do the proper marketing and get the devices out there with subject matter experts to educate people whom are checking them out so they can share that information with their friends.
     Google paid a very large price with their Nexus One because they where over-confident and thought they would sell based on their name alone, this could have been a learning curve RIM did not have to deal with. There are actually other nice things about the Playbook, the apps that are in their app store are pretty cool and when Android apps are available it will be cooler.
    I like the size of the tablet I can comfortably reach accross the screen to hit all the keys on the digital keyboard making it any larger and I couldn't hold it in my hands with the same comfort; copping out to apple fan boys thinking they must have a 10.1" tablet is not necessary, this is the perfect size to sit in your hands, some people think they are small but if they actually watch a movie or play a game on it or look at websites by "Playing with it themselves" they will react differently and actually suggest if your going to do a 10.1" tablet, also keep the smaller sized one as well.
    Suggestions :
    - Working on building in more extensions for gaming such as Unity so that games like battlestar galactica online etc could be played online and directions could be replaced by using the gyroscope.
     - Hire more people if you are having problems meeting deadlines, these companies, including Apple are taking risks to win the market, if your going to take a swing at your competitors, please make it a punch and not a jab, the biggest thing you still have on your side is the market you already had and the market share you have been losing and since we all upgrade our devices so often at this time, come out with something special and we will continue to support you. Okay now that I have that off my chest I feel better. DAMMIT !

  • Blackberry bold and mac

    im using a blackberry bold 9000 and a mac laptop, i used to be able to sync all my data but i upgraded my bb tru windows. after that i can't sync the bb to my mac already. pls help. what will i do?

    Hi kiwiinvan,
    Could you please try the steps listed below in order to resolve your issue:
    - Try rebooting your Mac and ensure that you log in with an account that has full admin rights.
    - Open iTunes on your Mac and accept any license agreements if prompted.  Also please ensure that you have at least one playlist in iTunes with at least one song in it.  This is required in order for PocketMac to function properly.
    - Make sure you don't have any other sync software installed on your Mac such as Missing Sync or Blackberry Media Sync etc.
    - Try repairing disk permissions by going to Macintosh HD\Applications\Utilities\ and running the Disk Utility application.  Select the Macintosh HD and click Repair Disk Permissions. This process may take a few minutes.  After repairing disk permissions, try synching again.
    - If fixing disk permissions doesn't work, can you try synching one PIM database at a time e.g. just Contacts by itself?  This will determine if the issue is being caused by a particular database.  If you find that you are getting the message on one database only, we would recommend clearing the affected database on the device using the Data Purge utilty and then clearing the sync history on the Mac using Sync Clean.  Please note, this will delete all the entries on your Blackberry, however once the entries on your device have been deleted, you can reimport the data from your Mac back to your device.  To run Data Purge and Sync Clean, please follow the steps 1 and 2 listed in the article below:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10501
    After you complete these steps, please configure PocketMac to do a one way sync from the Mac to the BlackBerry (choose the overwrite device option in Advanced Preferences).  If the sync is successful, reconfigure PocketMac back to doing a 2-way sync.
    Please let us know if this works for you or if you have any questions or issues!
