Is there a way to update the Blackberry OS from a Mac? I have a Macbook Pro and use Missing Sync to sync all my data to the phone (PocketMac didn't work well). The device shipped with an older OS, so I wanted to upgrade to the newest. All the files I've seen are .exe, so there's nothing I can open on Mac.

Thanks,
Matt

As I understand it this cannot be done at present. Perhaps in the future

If I have a Windows laptop, and I plug it in there for upgrades only, will that mess up any sync settings I have with Missing Sync on my Mac?

I strictly have MAC in my house from my iMAC's to my Macbook and Macbook Pro and just run a Windows VM using Parallels and on some VMWare Fusion and do it this way without issue.

Other times I update at work on my Windows box......

Or you can just do an OTA upgrade. It's in the Advanced Options --> Wireless Upgrade

I Don't think you can do an OS upgrade OTA?

Not yet, you can't.
RIM has not yet enabled wireless updates on their network.
Even though the feature is on the device, it can't be used.

I don't even have that option on mine. Maybe I need to upgrade the OS first...

I've updated BB's via Parallels no problem.. Given BB quirks I'd be afraid to try it wirelessly

Same scenario for me... I'm a Windows SysAdmin and I use a Mac exclusively at home and at work. Go figure.

Anyway, updating the OS via Fusion or Parallels works just peachy.
