Download DM for Mac connect your BB device, backup and then you can sync your iCal and Mac address book.

Backup your Torch on the Mac.
I have my Torch synced with the work iMac (i'm home now, on a PC) from memory there should be 2/3 icons on the top right hand side of the DM interface (window)

So.
1. Use DM to backup your Torch.
2. On the first sync, it might recommend to replace the Torch data with whats on your Mac.
3. If you have data on your Torch that's not on your Mac then i would recommend to Merge data.

Lastly you can sync your Mac address book, iCal (including tasks and reminders) and Apple Mail notes (if you use this)

Can sync everything but iCal.

EDIT: I'm using 10.8, this version no longer uses ical, but something else. just calendar..

Synchronization support of BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac

Still at work but the above doc will assist you further.
Is is a somewhat convoluted process, but you may have to turn off iCloud.

Good new.
For the benefit of the CrackBerry community and to help others with a similar issue.

What did you do to establish the Sync and fix your problem with the Cal.

Jup, maybe make a guide of it.

First and for all, i exported my calendar (right click on the calendar you want -> export) then i logged out of iCloud. then made a local calendar and imported the file. Then rebooted everything (entire mac) and connected my BB to my desktop manager and it worked. Now i'm trying to figure if its possible to sync my icloud calendar with my local...else i will always need to export-import
