I recently got my verizon 8130 and love it but have a few issues i need help with:

1) all of a sudden my call log is empty, it saved my calls before but now it only has the most recent one, how do I make it log my calls again?

2)I use blackberry messenger a lot and all of a sudden everytime I get a new message it comes up in my message list, but when I go to the messenger i can't read it The only way that I can is to end the conversation and open it from the message list, but this is a huge pain for every incoming messnger message. It worked fine up until the other day, what do I do?

3)Everytime I send and email from my gmail account it comes to my blackberry as an incoming message/email, Since I use a mac I cannot use the included software and when I go to my gmail settings on the blackberry it gives no option, how can I stop this I hate it.

4) How can I use my mac to put software on my blackberry? The software that was included is only for windows.

(i know that was 4 questions)

Thanks in advance for the advice!

This has worked wonders on my 8130: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ee-memory.html

Follow these instructions: HOW-TO: Prevent G-mail "Sent Items" from being sent to your handheld.

Check you free memory. See Why is my BlackBerry losing its call logs or message logs? - BlackBerryFAQ.com.

Not sure about #4. See the mac forum unless/until someone gives you specific answer.
