Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer.
On your computer, in the Applications folder, click the BlackBerry Desktop Manager icon.

I am a Palm Centro user who is thinking of switching to a blackberry. But I, too, have a Mac with OS 10.4.11 that cannot be upgraded. I found this Mark/Space Missing Sync and I wonder if anyone has tried it.
Thanks

I'm on Tiger so I had to open the WinDOZE side to get the "other" BB desktop manager .... Boo that they wouldn't do this for Tiger OS.

i have an older mac with osx 10.4.11 and cant upgrade to leopard because its power pc processor...so i cant download the desktop software for my bb....does anyone have any advice???????

thanks,
haygis

It really pisses me off that I can't use the BB software. I just got a brand new 9700 Bold and I can't use the Mac version of the software. My computer is a hugely expensive G5 Mac tower, with no Intel chip. I refuse to shell out another $2,000 or more for a NEW COMPUTER just because Blackberry won't make a Desktop software version for my Mac. COME ON BLACKBERRY, make a version for 10.4. And NO, if you have no Intel chip you can't upgrade to 10.5 and like I said, I'm not going to buy a new computer for a PHONE. Get real. I love my computer and it works just fine.

Hello, Blackberry, anybody listening out there? Your software sucks.

I like the way that this app is designed to work. It's very clean and simple while offering a reasonable set of options to personalize the user's experience.

I have never liked iCal, so I shelled out the bucks to have Entourage, which required an adjustment period for me, but now I'm happy with it. After trying to include Entourage in the syncing process, I found that I had quite a mess on my hands. There wasn't a single category that survived the process intact. Fortunately, I also own a PC, so I was able to restore my BB8900 to it's pre Blackberry for Mac condition with Microsoft Office 2007.

I have also had serious issues trying to integrate Entourage into the whole MobileMe thing, with equally horrifying results. That is why I am reluctant to point an accusatory finger at Blackberry. PocketMac has been doing an outstanding job for me, so until I feel an uncontrollable urge to get reckless with my 8900, or there have been at least five updates to the app, I'll stick to my dual laptop usage.

Just spent two hours on the phone with BB support and they will have to call back in 48 hours. I have a Macbook pro, 10.5.8. Was using pocketmac and google mobile sync to a google calendar and spanning sync to my mac. Disabled all the google and spanning sync stuff. Kept getting sync error messages for both calendar and contacts. They acknowledge that it is a desktop problem and have to check all the logs that they had me pull out and send. The tech that helped me to download the desktop manager two days ago did not tell me to uninstall pocketmac first. It is apparent;y a known issue. Still, withnew tech help I uninstalled pocketmac, uninstalled desktop manager and reinstalled desktop manager and still---won't work--either two way sync or one way. Ugh. Why do I ever agree to go first.

I tried to sync both my Contact's and Calendar; but it came up with a Sync Error. Anyone have this error before and if so, how do you fix it?

Also, does anyone know how to set this up where you can sync from the BB to the Mac ONLY?

If RIM would only release a similar suite for Linux...

Right after I installed the BB Software I noticed my audio is not working. I can not turn it on. Any thoughts?

to those of how whom are running snow leopard I just noticed i don't know if you guys have but it does not run well on 64Bit mode but perfectly on 32 bit so try it running on 32 bit mode to see what happens

I DL'd and install on my Mc OSX10.5.8.
It works! except Memo Sync. For some reason, My 2 bite code memo made
garbage on my BB Storm. Title is OK and all the other syn, Calender, Task
are OK for 2 bite code. Well this seems to be the same bug on Missing Sync.

Worked fine when synching Tour to MacBook and Storm to the iMac. It's all good...the only question....When will we get iPhoto support? It'd be nice to be able to synch photos

It took about an hour from the download to the completion- it was my first experience with syncing the BB and the laptop, all went smoothly, it backed up my apps,then it upgraded the Curve's OS to the current official VZW OS and also upgraded the native apps with one "ok" click.

I lost my purchased "Scrabble" game but can re-download from seller, iheartradio no longer worked but I deleted it and will reinstall, lost 2 databases which DM4M warned me about before it finished upgrading. My theme was returned to the default VZW theme but it was easy to change it back to the one I was using before the upgrade.

I spent about a 1/2 hour re-adding info in Poynt, Weather Lite, BT Sidekick, Viigo, or re-creating my lists in 2 apps but that was a minor inconvenience. Everything else went smoothly so I am happy and thankful for DM4M.

I erased what I thought was everything that was related to by BB but every time I install DMFM it tells me there is other software. Is there anywhere I should check that might have a file to delete?

if you have problems with Desktop Manager for Mac (DMFM) and you had the beta version you must go to Library-> Application Support->BlackberryDesktop and delete blackberry desktop

So this will sync my contacts/calenders and stuff, but will it install new OSs?

Yet another software application that is for intel based mac's only. Very disappointed as I am still 6+ months away from upgrading to a intel based mac plus this is only for snow leopard. Nice way to stick it to your loyal mac customers RIM.

Great.. so now that they have the Windows and Mac editions out... how about a native Linux client...

Yes I know I can emulate and it probably work fine. But that's just lazy on the dev's part. That's like a kid, turning in homework with nothing on it, getting an "F" on it and then altering it to make it look like an "A" and calling it good. It just doesn't cut it.

If I try install applications on the new BBD for Mac, I get the following error:

"BlackBerry® Desktop Manager failed to validate your BlackBerry® device update.

Validation failed because a module marked for add (net_rim_platform_resource__pt) is not available on local disk"

Any Idea?

Will this allow mac users to install leaked OS?

software works very well.

i'm very happy with the DM for mac

I installed the new software and it worked perfectly with my phone. But is it me, or is there no "device switch wizard" for the new BB software for Mac? Did anyone else notice that it wasn't there, or am I not looking in the right place?

I just can seem to sync my storm I get an error when I am trying to sync contacts. Plus it wiped all of mine off.

I must say that I am actually disappointed about it since I CAN NOT SYNC MY PHONE!!!!! every time i hit the sync button "please retry again"

MAC is koo but ima PC lol, well im glad this is happening. YAY MAC and RIM =) LOL

THANKK YOOOUUUUU RRIMMMMMMMMMM... IT WAS ABOUT TIMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

now lets work on getting bt sync :)

It killed my Curve 8900. Twice. At least I was able to update my apps on the leaked version, running Snow Leopard. As much as I'd like to have a DM for my Mac, I'll wait until there is an update or something.

It duplicates your contacts be very careful...the software is horrible!

FLAWLESS DOWNLOAD, NO DRAMA!

FINALLY

FLAWLESS DOWNLOAD, NO DRAMA!

FINALLY

My calendar isn't syncing! Anyone with this problem?

Sync of contacts and Calendars works great. Currently, it does not recognize there is a media card installed on the phone. Therefore, pictures and music are still unable to be synchronized.

80% there

This is a nice B-day surprise.

Uninstalled my beta DM, installed the new DM, worked like a charm. Contact syncing is flawless, calendar, task and note syncing went wonderfully. Haven't synced nay music yet and the device backup went smoothly as well.

Looks like RIM hit this one out of the park. Finally, a reliable syncing solution.

For all those that are pulling their hair out and screaming into the night....Download Missing Sync. It has worked for years...seamlessly. iTunes with video and pictures, Bluetooth synching, everything that RIM still can't figure out. Desktop Manager is free but for some of you, you get what you pay for. Oh, and Missing Sync is working on device firmware upgrades for their next version. No, I don't work for them, I just love their product because like a Mac.......it just works.

After installing the new software my VZ Access manager would not longer detect my phone. Turns out RIM was up to something good! You no longer need the Access Manager as your Network Pref. panel now recognizes your phone as a modem. Just dial.

Number: #777
User ID: yourphonenumber@vzq3.com
Password: type none or something. (No password)

Hope this helps!

I, as others, have waited soooo long for BDM for Mac and am again FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED by RIM. Since I have 3 Macs running G4 PowerPC's with processor speeds below the 867MHz required for Leopard (10.5), I cannot upgrade. This BDM for Mac requires "the latest operating system".

Getting close to upgrade/renewal time with Verizon. May be time to switch carriers & smartphone manufacturers...

and now I'm sitting back having a Becks.

For those that lost their Data, so sad too bad.

Next time back up.

I do not like the options when it comes to Syncing!

You have the option of 2-Way or from the Mac to BB. You do not have the ability to choose BB to Mac. When I did the 2-Way Sync; it created not only duplicate address but also duplicate email's and numbers within each contact! A real PITA to fix!!!

Anyone else understand what I mean?

Is or will there be another version available for Tiger? After MUCH and LONG anticipation for a BDM for Mac, I'm frustrated and upset that the much anticipated BDM for Mac will not work with my Macs. When I try to install I get a message that says:

"This software does not support your current operating system.
Please upgrade to the latest version."

Since I only have 3 G4's, I'm unable to upgrade to Leopard. I'm limited to Tiger.

How may others are experiencing the same frustration?

My only complaint is that the mac version of desktop manager doesn't allow you to install upgraded blackberry device software. Big bummer, I still have to return to windows.

this is awesome yes! it works awesome

how do I set ringer for blackberry bold when receiving a sms.
Thanks

Thank you rim !!!!

I downloaded the manager for Mac and it is working great. It is much easier to use than the PC version.

BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac "BDSM"

Way better than windows and nice clean layout.
They know mac users like things better.

It was easy to install and works great. Thanks RIM!

Curve 8330 - Mac OSX 10.5.8

if you have had the leaked version prior to installing the new release today, be sure to delete the user>library>app support>blackberryDesktop folder, empty trash and reinstall DM. Restart the computer, and do a full shut down, battery pull as well for good nature. I had all the same freezes, and now all is warm, and sweet. Sure, the address fields don't match in the contacts, but the calendar was done correctly and that's a start.

why cant RIM make Desktop Manager looks just as good as the MAC version...i hate you Windows :*(

I have an 8310.

Syncing with Entourage seemed to work without any problem. I then did a complete backup which also worked well.

Then, my big mistake was to update the OS to 4.5. I had been waiting for the program for ages to do this. During the process the 8310 got stuck on restart...after about an hour of waiting for it to do something I pulled the plug. I had to take out the battery and reboot.

It had successfully installed the new OS but deleted all my settings, files etc. The restore program on the software is good and managed to get most of my stuff back, had to do a sync to.

Took about 2 hours to get everything back.

I would recommend a backup before tinkering with the software!!!

RIM you complete me...

no photo sync? wtf?

if you have songs on your media card it wont check - so lets say i have a 3 gig card with 2 gigs of music already on it. when i try and sync my playlists (2 gigs), it tries to add it as new music even though there are mostly duplicates so it thinks it doesnt have enough room. need to delete all music from berry and then sync.

calendar and address book fail. you either have to allow your computer to win or select merge which creates duplicates of everything. what about letting handheld win? true sync = make both device and computer identical. no dupes and if there are conflicts let me know and decide who wins.

address book mapping sux. if you have a contact that is filed by company name (i.e. no first name or last name, it creates a blank entry in your address book.

maybe i'm being critical for v 1.0 but would think by now they could make Mac software work well.

Can you also update the OS on blackberry's now????????????????????

Is it just me or are majority of the problems of the mac download manager occurring with the curve? Just asking because the majority of posts that state they have a problem are people with curves, though I have seen problems with the storm and tour too just two or three maybe more

It deleted my Notes at first. I edited each note a little then set it to overwrite the device. All is working fine now. It takes a little work but now it's worth it.

Is it just me or are majority of the problems of the mac desktop manager occurring with the curve? Just asking because the majority of posts that state they have a problem are people with curves, though I have seen problems with the storm and tour too just two or three maybe more

Ok... So I ran a sync and it went fine. It told me there was an update available for my phone from 4. to 4.5 something. I said ok. After installing the os, it says waiting for device to initialize and i get a error 507... loading applications.... and then Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to update your device. The Device was disconnected (it wasnt) reconnect your device and try again.

So I do...

Well.

this has happened multiple times. this time it went the farthest it has gone yet and the blue bar filled all the way but it still said the same thing with a 507 error. called RIM and they want me to spend 49 bucks to talk to a service representative... calling att now.

( i have a curve 8310)

I installed it, restarted the computer, and attached my Storm. With in 30 seconds, both the phone and BBDM froze and had to be restarted. Reconnected the Storm, and tried to sync them. Once again, they both froze. Restarted both, for the second time. Storm restarted with all my contacts and calender events gone. Checked back up folder; nothing. F***ing pissed, this is the last straw, I'm getting a Iphone. I've never been so disappointed with any thing as I have been with this phone.

This software is a piece of shit. I am going to just keep using my PC for the DM. I connected my Tour (running on .230) and it only recognized it once. I got through one backup and then went to go load my iTunes and it told me my memory card wasn't loaded. FML.

Great day for me:
It duplicated my address book...
It lost all my ringtones..
It lost all my music..
It wouldn't recognize I said 'yes' to mass storage....
Everything was fine until i started dickin' around----
Why did I even bother?????????????????????

Fail.
Software won't load

I am a Mac lover. I down loaded this program, had an os update for the phone, I authorized it and now my phone is wiped. Tried to restore and syn has errors! WTF!!!!!!

HELP! i keep trying to sync my itunes but it says my mass storage is turned off. i check it and it says it is ON but it wont register for the computer…what do i do?

installed it, connected my bb like it said so then it went to update automatically restarted my phone abt 5 times and WIPED EVERYTHING! ive added a lot since my last back up now im f*cked. WTF!

I have a Curve 8900 + Macbook running 10.5.8 and today is a VERY happy day! The DM just updated my device and after restarting, synced my iCal and Address Book with no issues! This software has finally made me not so envious of the iPhone! Cheers to RIM!

HELP! i keep trying to sync my itunes but it says my mass storage is turned off. i check it and it says it is ON but it wont register for the computer…what do i do?

I signed up to be notified of the release, what happened to my notification RIM?!?!

anyway i heard the official is no better than the beta im using so...

this is a "meow" for us tiger OS

The first thing I attempted after downloading Desktop Manager was to backup everything on my 8330. The backup was going great until it stopped dead in its tracks saying profiles cannot be backed up. Any ideas?

@ all these people still using powerbook macs lol dude if your complaing that the dm wont work on your 7 or 9 year old anything...maybe you should try upgrading to something more relevant. thats like making something for windows 95! or going into a store and trying to buy windows 95 lol ANYWAY Yay for RIM!! super stoked so does this mean i can now install a leaked OS thru mac instaed of using vmware fusion???

I also think if you have anything like pocketmac, or the beta you must delete the entire thing. Including preferences, etc.

My guess is alot of you are running into conflicts with other sync applications.

HELP! i keep trying to sync my itunes but it says my mass storage is turned off. i check it and it says it is ON but it wont register for the computer…what do i do?/

I installed the new DM and it worked great. Be sure your sync settings on entourage are on.

Calender and contacts synced perfect.

No use for music i own an iPod.

Makes me sad so many people are having issues.

What a nightmare.

1. PocketMac REFUSED to go away - and the Blackberry CSR seemed to not know what he was doing to make it go away (it's still there, by the way).
2. Overrode everything on the Curve with the remnants of PocketMac. Thankfully I had backed it up on my PC.
3. Verizon Wireless CSR gave me the "Blackberry for Palm OS" phone number Sounded like the VZW people had NO idea what was coming at them - same thing w/the RIM people.
4. Entourage syncing was a mess - first it wouldn't, then it would
5. Not RIM's problem - but I'll need a bigger memory card for my music

Bottom line: we'll see.

i downloaded and am using it now.. I finally have a way to sync my playlists and music.. It works pretty sweet. No more draggging and dropping. It's a nice clean interface.. And is easy to use... One thing I will miss from my missing sync is bluetooth proximity sync... So RIM if you could put that in there... That would be pretty sweet!

Wiped out all the contacts from my phone, except for one, and it duplicated that one 6 times. Won't sync the calendar, won't sync tasks or notes either. Pre-release version worked better. Pre-release only wiped out SOME of my contacts instead of ALL of them.

Thanks a lot RIM.

Was not worth the wait in any way, shape or form. What a piece of crap software.

well I got my sync to work but I had to uninstall then reinstall it and had to let it overwrite my BB when I did that it worked but if I tried to merge it would give me a sync error. Hope it keeps working now

to work with the earlier versions of Mac? I have 10.4.11 and sadly, it only supports 10.5x and up... this sucks!

Has anyone tried updating their Apps yet?

I love it! I have had no issues syncing my calender, tasks, memos, and music with it at all. I had tried other programs and I would end up with duplicate or triplicate appointments. So dang easy!

All I get are sync errors I guess I have to stick with my work pc what a downer

this sucks! still can't update any applications and/or software.

It says to please insert media card into device...but i have an 8GB card installed...i have a storm...any ideas?

I failed to reload my 8320's OS, and I disconnected my Blackberry. Now, it won't load, and I've done a quick pull and battery pull, but it hasn't loaded. I have no idea what to do.

Well I installed it and I get "A sync error ocurred. Please retry the sync". All I want to sync are my contacts. I tried eliminating the Entourage notes key from the plist file as mentioned in the BDM beta posts.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I still get the error.

I checked the log, and this is where it craps out:

2009-10-02 15:56:07.163 ERROR*** default pimSync Exception during sync: *** -[__NSCFDate dayOfMonth]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x172ef000
2009-10-02 15:56:07.163 ERROR*** default pimSync An exception of type NSInvalidArgumentException occured because: *** -[__NSCFDate dayOfMonth]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x172ef000
(no stacktrace available).

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until v. 1.01, unless someone else knows what else to try.

Anyone?

Mac OS: 10.5.8
BB 8900 Curve OS version: 4.6.1.231
iTunes version: 9.0

Waited and Waited and Waited. Nothing works, wow I really shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for some decent program coming out of RIM. Doesn't do squat with my storm no calendar no contacts. But if nothing else the program and the screen look nice A+ on graphics F on well every other part of this.

Way to go RIM keep the shit coming

nm

i am SO happy that this program finally arrived. what I don't understand is why when I plugged in my curve it updated everything and ruined all my settings. but that's not even my biggest issue-i'm so confused about how all my apps are now 'archived' on the memory card according to app world. and if they're archived, why are they still running? on the plus side, i have sooo much more memory (went from 31 mb to 36-37). But when I downloaded a new app today (quickpull) and archived it like everything else, I can't see it! what's up with this?

good thing its just my work one on BES and not personal 8900. when i plugged in my 8830 it said there were some updates. OK, i proceeded and when i looked back at my mac the update had failed and the LED was just blinking RED. Nothing would recognize the blackberry not even JL_Cmder on my PC. I need to launch apploader via a CMD on my PC. Now im scared to try my 8900 on mac at home.

does anyone know how to get your itunes movies and videos on/off your Tour? I want to send videos i recorded on my phone but they are too large to email?

also getting movies/video onto the phone from itunes. anyone?

will this be possible with the DTM?

You have to go straight to the page: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/desktop_mac.jsp

I've been having problems with my Address Book, so I was told to reload my OS. I just did so with the Blackberry Desktop Software, and it's been apprx. 45 min., and it hasn't finished.

Has anyone had this problem, too? And is it advisable to cancel the reload and try again later?

Now we just have to wait for BB to create OS software thats compatible with Macs.

I waited for a month. I had a beta version that didn't work. I downloaded the official version and ended up braking my phone because it just stopped while updating. I had to unplug and screwed the OS.

d@mn!

I don't understand why it keeps shutting off my service while updating the applications, then telling me there is a problem with my network.

I keep getting sync errors. I had high hopes but I guess not.
Hopefully soon there will be a fix.

Still trying to update these applications but I get an error message as soon as it gets up to the WAP messages. Don't know what this is all about.

Works perfectly with my Bold. My MBP is SL 10.6.1 - I should caveat this by saying I'm on BES and only need to sync Notes to my computer.

One note, for syncing Notes while using BES with a corporate Exchange server with Entourage 2008, it will sync Notes to the Exchange Server but Entourage does not support Notes with Exchange. Instead, I set Notes to sync with Apple Mail and it works just fine.

The MediaSync also works perfectly. With the standalone MediaSync and iTunes, every time I added a new song it would download all songs to the BB again. Now with this release, it only downloads new songs - what a time saver!

Managed to backup and sync with out problems.
Mac OS X 10.5.8

So excited that it's finally available!! Had some trouble getting started...my bb crashed 3 times, but with persistence I got it running and now have my bb backed up and my calendars sync'd!! Very happy bb/Mac user here!

I just downloaded this and hooked my blackberry. It did the normal stuff it does on a PC... Wants to do an update, backs up your files, and tries to restore...
Except...
It won't restore any of my data, apps, etc!!!!

I tried to go back to my PC to load my backup file I did there, but it says working and will not do anything.

HELP!!! My Bold is now broken!!!

I am so damn happy. Finally I can stop trying to download updates onto my work PC, incurring the wrath of our IT department, just to keep my Tour up to date. It is a glorious day for BB/Mac people everywhere.

Ok so here is what exactly is happening:
I connect my 8900 to the comp and start the update process. It'll get about 30-40% done and when it hits "Backing up 'WAP Push Messages'" I get the "BlackBerry® Desktop Manager failed to update your BlackBerry® device." box 1 and behind it box 2 saying "BlackBerry® Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later."

I don't get it. Then I go back to my phone and my wireless signal is "Off". So i have to restore wireless connection. IDK what is going on. Anyone care to help out?

Thanks

Kudos to RIM. This is the first application I have tried in 4 years that ACTUALLY worked and did what it said. I did have to use the Windows desktop version to delete my calendar database before two way sync would work correctly but after that it sync'd perfectly as did Contacts, Tasks, Notes and Music. THANK YOU RIM!

Anyone else having a problem with the calendar sync?

The program works good, the only thing that I miss from the pocketmac is the resolution of the contact's pictures.

:(

will not install on 10.4 RIM fails once again.

Now lets work on more important things.....like getting BBM 5 to work with .230 please? Thank you.

Main numbers and PINS don't seem to transfer from Address book. Any body else have this problem.

I've waited for this day for so long, I didn't think it would actually come!

Does anyone know how to open your Back Up SMS Messages on the mac?

When I try to close Mac DM, it freezes, I get the beach ball, and I have to force quit. Happened on the leaked version for me too. Anyone know how to avoid this?

Otherwise thank you RIM for finally making us Mac users happy with our BlackBerry's.

Uninstalled the Beta and installed the official version. Doesn't see my Storm.

Awesome! Just converted to a Mac this week and have now downloaded the Mac DM. Will work on using it to break my 8330 later this evening. ;)

just got it!!!! i'm loving it!!!! it feels like thanksgiving and christmas!!! i'm sooo happy!

i am trying to upgrade a new o.s but i can't figure out how to do it on this. when i click on applications and check for updates, an error comes up.
can someone tell me how to update my o.s. thanks

Kevin, shoot me an email, i have a link for you. ryan@ negri

electronics dot com

.... because today I had to reinstall completely my BB !!!!

Now I downloaded the official one and everything looks exactly the same.

Is'nt there some thing missing compared to the PC app ? The help if you want to change terminals ....

Downloaded. Loving it so far. So excited.

Some very happy Macintosh users will finally quit hearing, "Borrow a PC ..."

first of all you need OS X 10.5 so basically anyone with a macbook 13 inch is beat you have to upgrade your os system for $129.. Bulll shyttttttttt!!

Downloaded, but am nervous to install and use it due to my experience with the beta. I am hoping they fixed the address book issues. Like duplicating items, and totally messing up my address book so that I couldn't remove things from it.

I hope some brave testers will give it a workout and let us know.

I have downloaded, installed and REBOOTED!

Meets the system requirements for this software.

System Requirements
Mac OS X v10.5.5
BlackBerry® Device Software v4.2 or higher
iTunes v7.2 or later

sad that it does not work with older versions of mac os...

A sync error occurred.
Please retry the sync.

Syncing task doesn't works for me.
Pfffff...

Update :
Unsinstall the beta is not enough reboot (error messages saying unistall failed) and reinstall the new one and reboot again -> it works great.

Did my first sync and not all my calendar events transfered.... WHAT THE F!!!!!!!????????

Just found a glitch. If you are syncing from Address Book and you have the phone number identified as main the contact will copy to the device but the phone number will not come with it. The solution seems to be to make sure that your contacts in address book have the phone number categorized as home or work.

Works great!!!!!!

Be nice if it worked with Snow Leopard

Just used it, and it worked great. I used the leaked version earlier and when I synced my contacts I couldn't edit or delete them. With the official release everything seems to be working just fine. I hope success continues and I am really glad they finally have this thing up and running. Now if we can get some video and photo sync we will be in business!

It's about time... I hope it lives up to my expectations (which I'm sure it won't). But even if it disappoints I'm sure it will be far better than PocketMac and Media Sync.

What actually syncs with this? Ical and contacts or only contacts?

Finally some official Mac love. ;)

Finally some official Mac love. ;)

Between the beta and the release??? I tried the "Check for updates" on the beta I was using and it said I had the most recent????

WTF took so long?!?!?

Argh! i just finished downloading the DM when I realized I forgot my USB cable at home. Bummer-I will wait until I get home to check it out. I guess I will work on a playlist.

I have noticed that mass media does not work with the OSX DM. BUt when i use the Windows DM it works just fine.

IS any one having the same issues, what are some remedies i can use.

Thanks!

Hello,

Possibly a stupid question, but I heard you can use your storm as a tethered modem via the PC Desktop Manager. Can the Mac version be used to set this up? Thanks for any help.

Damn it! It says it can't 'validate' my Blackberry when it tries to update the OS. What's that about?

Time for a Storm 2 contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it!!! i just put music on my blackberry from my itunes!!!!!!! so far so good!!!!! i woke up this morning and came on crackberry.com to see if it was available and it was the first thing when the page loaded!!!! i'm so excited about this can anyone tell.... ha ha!

damn i was waiting for this for such a long time, but it only works on 10.5 :( :( :(
my macbook pro is running on 10.4 :(

1.0.0 Build 89

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Downloading right now!

This is such good news.

What version/build # is the official???

I'm not reading good things so far...i have to wait til i get home.

I can sync Music but not ICAL

i am running snow leopard and i boot up in 64bit by default. BDMMac don't work i have restart and boot up in 32bit for it to recognize my device.

Whoo hoo!

sorry double post

Persistent store migration failed, missing source managed object model.

That is the error I get when I try and Sync. I am running .230 on Storm.

Its out now, go download it.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

will this software work on older versions of mac os?????

I can't wait as I am an avid Mac user that loves my Blackberry. My only concern is I could not get the leaked version to work, so I do hope the "official" one does. But I wonder what kind of support will RIM have for this? Anyone have any idea or thoughts??

its out now...currently downloading!

finally, a mac version for blackberry..cant wait!

just downloaded right now!!!! looks like its available now!!!!

I literally screamed (softly) when I saw this.. don't tease me.. Now I'm anxious. ::looks for heart medication::

I bet any amount of $ the servers are gonna crash once this goes live LMAO!! No but seriously lets hope not! I need this too ;)

cant wait...hurry!!!!!!!!!

This is torture. Just release it RIMM!

it would be nice if they'd polish up DM for PC....I hate it and it looks like its from 1994. Don't even get me started on the media manager...

I like the progress though, and happy for the MAC folks!

I haven't read much about it, but does anybody know if we will be able to sync through Bluetooth?

I have a PC at home but use a Mac exclusively at work, so this is exciting!

Anyone know if this official version will have any features the leaked version does not have?

Yessssss!!!

You know you're an addict when you click the button before reading "we'll make it clickable once it's available"...

2 hours and 7 minutes! :)

Just read the comment above about how the software requires the latest version of Mac OS X and I'm just floored. I'm using the last version of Tiger (10.4.x) and now I'm not going to be able to use the DM for Mac as I was hoping to be able to. I love my BlackBerry, but this kind of crap will make me think twice the next time I upgrade my phone--especially if Verizon is able to make a deal with Apple to sell a CDMA version of the iPhone.

I'm glad they're getting this out FINALLY. But come on! We MUST have the very latest version of MAC OS X in order to use it?

That's horrible. So my MAC MINI that is running an OS that is only 2 years old won't be able to use this. SO glad I got a Blackberry as a MAC user. Not. Should've gotten and IPhone after all.

If you want to convert MAC preferring folks you need to try a LOT harder.

BOO RIM, terrible.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! I've got both my iMac and iBook all shined and polished for the occasion. I'm on my best behavior so as not to offend the RIM/Mac gods today. This so rocks. A red-letter day on the 'ol iCalendar for sure. Yes, Baby!

Thanks RIM the Mac/Blackberry user's community is happy now. (MacBook Pro 15'' / Blackberry Bold)

:)

thank god its so close, my computer is very excited to play.

You got me. I was excited cause I thought they released it early. I have a class at the release time so I am going to have to wait :( Damn so close

This was the one thing that made me consider switching to an iPhone when I bought my Mac computer- I couldn't sync my Blackberry with my computer!! Very glad I didn't and than RIM figured it out and brought us Mac users into the loop! I now own an iPod touch (won it from Netfirms.com!) and my BB- I see it has having the best of both worlds.

Common RIM make it go live!

Are we their yet... are we their yet! LOL!

So, what can you do with BBM if your contacts and calendar come from a BES? Anything?

Does it do anything cool with the iTunes library? I guess it's expecting too much for it to sync smart playlists and update play counts, last played times, etc.

Glad to see it official, since I have been using the other version for awhile. Guess I continue using it till I make sure all the bugs are out of the new one.

It seems that we have, all, been waiting for this official release for what seems to be an eternity.

Is it 1:00 yet??

I am hanging out for the release of DM for Mac, but I have to say, I am pissed off. Perhaps such a prominent banner with "available for download" should wait until the software is actually available? I got all excited when the page loaded, only to see that it is in anticipation of the release. You'd look like a total ass if for some reason RIM decided to delay the release once again, for example, due to the last minute discovery of some security hole.

Is this really that much different than the leaked version? wont really do anything special will it? I am a mac user but is there any reason for me to be really excited about this? The current leaked one works just fine on my MacBook Pro :-)

I know I should have read the post before posting...
talk about pre-mature emancipation...

YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
I think i just... yeah... i just did sex in the pants =)

Waste of RIM resources...should have released a Linux one instead.

I have been waiting for this day for about 4 years, 7 months, 9 days, 13 hours, 4 minutes and 19 seconds. But who's counting?

So excited I am actually leaving work early today, unrelated to this releasing, but I will just say the stars aligned and made it possible!
