Calling all Mac + BlackBerry users... your big day is has come! Sent in by our friend TimBukTwo, BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac users has leaked its way onto the interwebs for all to download. This is version 1.0.0 beta software, which means there may be some glitches still, but if you're a Mac owner and have been waiting years for this then you may just want to throw caution out the door and give it a go (do so at your own risk of course!). I installed it on my Mac alllll good. If you're not familiar with BBDM for Mac, you can visit blackberry.com/mac for more details and you can click the link below to download the unofficial release.

The Muscle Couple just bought a brand new Macbook Pro 15' last week and it's an amazing device.
With the release of this software me may be able to officially move to "ONE SYSTEM" for everything now!
Let's hope the Beta/Bootleg OS Community will also create Hybrids to install with Mac OS's as well?
Works great so far. I wonder if it will have photo syncing as well in the final version?
it works on snow leopard

Any way to unofficially update phone with this....?? Would be awesome... although I remember reading a while back that this program in particular blocked unofficial releases.... hmmmm
:)
On my BB8900, I'm getting always the same error message "A sync error occurred". The bacukp, instead, is fine. Any other similar issue?
Same issue, driving me nuts, as specially as almost everyone is having success. Any fix yet?
Same for me
SAME HERE! frustrating!
I bet it clash with one of the syncing app but I uninstalled missing sync and pocket mac before I install DM
any solution yet?
it looks for Entourage notes!!! While I just want to sync the adress book
04/09/09 08:37:44 [0x0-0x25025].com.rim.blackberrydesktopmanager[241] failed to register client because: client named com.rim.blackberrydesktopmanager.Contacts.551424884 wants to sync unrecognized entity named: com.microsoft.entourage.notes.Note
If I open entourage I got no sync error and it sync with adress book.
I didn't check if everything is correct.
Great Find!
where do u see that log files?
I got it to work but got so many duplicates.. it syncs, but at the end still got errors..
I wanna know where it is now.
I had the same error. I posted a fix at the bottom of the forum, I'll post it here too, just in case you don't see it.
If any of you got the 'error while syncing', 'please try again' (paraphrased), I can only assume it's as frustrating as it was for me. I discovered this leak just now and was amazed that the program could function so quickly and well and still not work. I nearly sent my BB back to Orange and switched to iPhone just so it would work. PocketMac and MissingSync were useless…
So on to the fix for that error.
Locate Blackberry Desktop Manager on your drive.
CTRL+click and select 'Show Package Contents'
Locate 'Contents/Resources/ClientDescriptionWithEntourage.plist'
Make a backup (just in case) by duplicating and renaming.
Open the original in plist editor or TextEdit
Locate the key
Root
entities
com.microsoft.entourage.notes.Note
and delete it (select then delete in plist editor or select the key com.microsoft.entourage.notes.Note AND the array… below it)
Save, and reopen Blackberry Desktop Manager and voilà! It should work fine (mine did).
Good luck... maybe this will be present in the final release.
Psyched.
Too bad I'm at work. I installed it at home, yay remote connection, but it requires a reboot and it wont re-initiate my connection (lid is closed. Using InsomniaX in Snow Leopard).
I haven't had any time with snow leopard yet probably not for a few weeks, but I thought it had wake via wifi enabled or is it not enabled right now?
My Tour is the first smartphone I've ever had, and there's a lot to learn. Thanks, Crackberry, for all the information you provide.
It's certainly a good thing Mac users get to use DM to meet their needs; I'm happy for them.
My operating system of choice is Linux; it allows me to accomplish everything I need in a pretty safe environment and with great ease. There is no DM for Linux, though, and that's pretty sad.
I'm using Google sync to take care of contacts and calendar needs, and this has been quite an easy task. Filling the mini-SD card with music and pictures has been easy enough by connecting the BB to my Linux box and doing the drag-and-drop routine.
My questions are: do you know if there's going to be a DM for Linux? Is DM necessary to upgrade to a new OS when it becomes available, or can that be done over the phone? Thanks.
Unfortunatly, no. People have been clamouring for years for a Mac version, and they are only just about to release it now.
Linux may never come or be 5 years down the line.

Although it´s not a german version it works great with Snow Leopard and my storm.
Now the Missing Sync time is over!!!!
After the first sync I got my adresses doupled, but after filtering my adressbook and a sync with replacing the names on the strom everything is alright!!
Did not test the iTunes integration but therefor it´s beta - RESPECT!
Alex
installed and runs fine, but won't detect my storm 9530. stuck on the screen that says to begin, connect your device to your mac using the supplied usb cable.
Missing sync detects it fine, running snow leopard in 64 bit mode, so i guess i should try 32 bit
same thing, but with my 8330. im running snow leopard in 32 bit and still nothing from DM
welcome to the world of DM. u want to know how to get it detected? WAIT! that's right have some patience because on the windows version you may have to wait up to 5 min before it's "connected"
I knew I should have worked from home today.
OMG!!! I've been waiting for thissssss!!!!!!! Thankssssssssssss
... but this is great news.
One thing that worries me if DM will support Bluetooth sync as well?
OH MY GOD I HAVE ACCESS TO MY SYSTEM MEMORY ON MY MAC NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I can now officially throw out my old PC !
OMG Thanks! :D
Installing now on my work computer (hope it doesn't hose it!)
REJOICE!!!
here we are!!!
it's our day!
btw, i get an error everytime i try to do a device backup... is it happens also to you guys?
d
on you bb browser. browser>options>cache operations> click clear cache. try it again your welcome.
FINALLY...Christmas is here!! I have been waiting for this for years and even though its the bare minimal as far as options is still better than pocketmac (IMO)
