I tried to load a hybrid today and got stopped at the ROM. Didn't brick my phone but couldn't load any further. I have a Storm 2.

I used VMware in the past with my Storm 1 and never had any problems. But that was the 2.03 version. Just wondering if the 64 bit version is causing a problem. ]]> Mac Users hookbill http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=369667 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=369079&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:19:15 GMT Please help!

Phone: Tour os 4.7.1.61
MBP 10.6.2

DM was working great for the last month but last night I updated the Tour os to the new one release by VZW and today when I went to sync using DM, a popup came up that more the 5% would be changed. So I closed DM and reset iSync.

Now when I try to sync my calendars, it tells me that my calendars are no longer available. (I have multiple calendars, work, home, kids...) and a cancel Sync button. Under my contacts, all the groups are gone.

I have tried the replace all and that didn't work, tried doing just calendar or contacts and still no success.

I don't know if the DM is having issues with the 4.7.1.61 or if it doesn't like to have iSync reset but PLEASSSSE HELP. ]]> Mac Users ocrealtor http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=369079 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=368938&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:37:04 GMT Does anyone know when Theme Studio will be available to use on a mac????

Ok lets... First and foremost let me apologize if this issue has already been answered in another thread, or if this is a really easy question.

Ok lets begin, whenever i sync my phone (Storm 2) to my MacBook Pro (snow leopard running mac desktop manager), a few of my contacts change to what i have on my address book on my mac.

For instance one of my buddies got a new number so i changed it on my phone. When i sync it to my mac it changes back to his old number. Very frustrating. I want my blackberry to be the main address book and it change the address book on my laptop, not vice versa.

It is imperative you REMOVE (TRASH) all syncing software (e.g., Missing Sync, PocketMac, media sync...) from your mac prior to DM installation. I know this is unusual for Mac users to have to prepare for software installation as usually developers write some apple script to do this, but this is not the case with RIM.

So how to you rid your mac of the previously installed sync software...Try using the uninstaller first, then use spotlight to search for all components. Search multiple items..(like RIM)...Remember to remove DM as well. After these have been trashed, empty the trash (search spotlight again...). I strongly recommend using ONYX to remove all of the system/user cache. I would also suggest a reset of sync services on your Mac. Restart the Mac, repair permissions (precaution). Reinstall DM. Now make sure iCal and Address Book is up to date (you might archive them also). Your iCal events will come in under one calendar (even if you have multiple calendars in iCal)...It should sync with the default CICAL in your device (usually associated with your default email address). Additionally, DM does not sync groups from your Address Book,. you will have to group on the device. Check device...Options>Advanced Options>Default Services for your default CMIME and CICAL....those are what are going to be synced. Also the field map is not identical, so be prepared for some entries to not be where you think they should be and some entries won't be copied at all.

Hope this helps... ]]> Mac Users Statman http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=365796 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=364803&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:10:51 GMT Odd problem.. Some of my contacts in my Contact database on the BBerry can't be found by typing in part of the name but they can be found if I scroll through the list.

Seems to be with contacts added in Entourage and then sync'd to the MAC Address Book and then to the BBerry. Contacts entered into the Address Book only (and then sent to Entourage) seem to work fine on the BBerry.

Very odd and very annoying as it looks like to contacts aren't in the bberry but they are..

Any suggestions??

I don't know if it's an issue with OS 4.6.0.304 or what, but it's an official AT&T OS... The first time it failed it actually ended up wiping out all of my system software... resulting in an "Reload Software 507" error.

I currently have Gmail set up as POP3 on my Mac Mail application, and never use the gmail website. Ideally, I would like to have them synced so that when I delete an email on the BB it will delete from Mac Mail, and if I read it on the BB it will show as "read" on Mac Mail, etc. If this is not possible, what is the "best" set-up?

Someone told me to remove pocketmac from my computer, and download the DM for mac and then sync it that way. So I removed the pocketmac and downloaded the DM for mac. Well, I didnt realize until after I downloaded the install guide, that it in order to have the DM, you have to have OS 10.5 or higher, and I only have OS 10.4. I searched online for the pocketmac so that I could at leaste sync my phone and forget about the movies, but I cant find pocketmac for OS 10.4 and I also cant find a free version like I did before.... I called apple and they said it would be $150 to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5..


Any ideas or help as to a DM for 10.4??:confused::( ]]> Mac Users tinkerbell0788 http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=361308
