    I am trying to sync my roboform data on my pc with the media card on BB Storm but the bb doesn't show up in My Computer as a drive that I can select using good sync. Any suggestions how to get my roboform data onto the bb would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Very happy new storm owner

    You should be able to use Mass Storage Mode. I'm not familiar with "good sync."

    Mass Storage Mode lets you drag and drop files to/from your computer to your BlackBerry Media Card. You have to have a Media Card to use it. You enable it as follows:

    Options / Media Card
    Media Card Support: On
    Encryption Mode: your choice
    Mass Storage Mode Support: On
    Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: Prompt

    Plug the BlackBerry into a USB port, answer Yes to the prompt, and the BlackBerry Media card will show up as a disk drive in My Computer. Then you can drag and drop.

    For most purposes, Mass Storage Mode is much better than Media Manager. The only time you really have to use Media Manager is to get pictures out of your device memory. Mass Storage Mode can't see the device memory. Once the pictures are on the Media Card, Mass Storage Mode will let you drag and drop between the BlackBerry and your PC.

    In Rim's implementation of microSD cards, they're used for ringtones, videos, music, and pictures. (That's why Rim calls them Media Cards, even though they're sold as microSD cards.) You can also use one as a memory stick, like a USB disk, using Mass Storage mode, but you can't access those files from the BlackBerry without 3rd party software. You can't run apps from one, yet.

    Jerry, I moved my roboform files to the media card on my Curve, as you suggested. The files are there, but I want to be able to lock the application or files when I'm not using them. How can I do that?

    Many thanks!
