Blackberry will not sync to Desktop Manager

Hello !

So.. I've recently bought a Blackberry Bold 9000 from eBay, and unfortunately, it has an IT policy on it. I would like to remove it so I can use the camera and put media on the phone. I'm planning on using CrackUtil to reset it to factory default, but I absolutely cannot connect the phone to my Mac.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Blackberry Desktop Manager three times (the most current version), and have also hard-reset the phone. I wiped it as well... but I always get this error message.

Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to connect to your Blackberry device.
Reconnect your device and try again.

Any advice? :confused:

You do not say so, but I�m sure you installed the Mac version of DM.
Another thing to try is using a different connection cable. Bad quality cables can cause a "non connection" message.
If did a full wiping of your device it will NOT connect to DM. It will not even boot properly.
You need a third party app to reload yor device�s OS, for what I know, in this case you will need a PC, nor a Mac.

Good luck!
