BlackBerry - BlackBerry for Mac

Nice!

Um... going through the motions at www.blackberry.com, I don't see it. I only see links to PocketMac. Odd...

Don't think this is right.

Its also odd that the facebook post has gone too.
Perhaps someone at the Blackberry FB page shouldn't have posted it!
It had only been posted for about 10 minutes when I found it.
Had quite a few "so and so likes this post"
And 2 minutes after posting this thread, its removed.

Yep... looks like someone jumped the gun a bit. Maybe they'll get it together later today? Fingers crossed...

Just wanted to subscribe to this thread so I'll be notified.

I installed it already and now my BB Bold is a BRICK

^^ Betas are notorious for that sort of outcome.

I warned folks about avoiding the beta that's floating around, but every day that goes by without the Mac Desktop Manager released tempts me to give it a try. I'm hanging tough for now, but if I show up here whining about it, you know the pressure got to me.

Right there with you Rambo. The betas are always tempting, DM for Mac more so than others. I will hold ... for now.

I installed DTM on my work laptop (PC) managed to re-instal a new OS on my BB Bold and everything seems to be working fine
I deleted the DTM for mac and will wait for the real deal to come out

I hear you... but this is not Beta, version says 1.0.0 build 75

As I stated on other thread, I have it working now with no problems whatsoever on two different configurations...

tempting, tempting..

And you KNOW that by "September" RIM actually meant mid-November

i'm using version 1.2(1.4) and i keep getting pocketmac syncmanageroem warnings

is this not the final yet??

We're not talking about the same thing. You are using "Pocket Mac", which is a piece of crap and we all gave up on it long time ago.

We're discussing here Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac, which is supposed to be officially released this month but isn't yet. I am giving examples of "leaked" version which is available on certain sites for download

Oh really?

Well, i did follow that statement with the wink. Just like this one

Don't blame me if you don't have the guts to try version 1.0.0.

Wait, letme plug my BOLD to my MacBookPro, I just added some contacts in Entourage, so I might as well sync while I'm talking to you ( )

Ah, well, done already.

You're such a pioneer, aren't you? A rebel, perhaps. Do you also drink milk passed the expiration date? Or maybe run with scissors?

Thanks for the laugh Ian.

...and for the record, "Try MAC DM 1.0.x" is on my Bucket List.

And more:

Installation automatically adds new network device called "BlackBerry-yourpinnumber". I guess it is for tethering internet, but I can't get it to work. it is by default CDMA, but even when switching it to GSM, all it does is dial #777 on my Bold. Sure few calls to my telco would sort this out, but I don't really have a need for it.

Backup works well also, with applications coming back in the wrong places and having to re-authorize them, but that's what's restoring from the backup on the PC is like too, right?

But for unofficial installing of OS updates, we will still be needing PCs around, won't we. I don't see telecoms offering downloadable .app versions.

To "Wild Hog" - no sour milk or scissors for me please, although sometimes when I install beta versions and I get nervous, I stick my hands under my arms, and then I smell my fingers - like that.

* Ian scribbles on a piece of paper while muttering to himself "make note to never shake Erjavec's hand when he looks nervous." *

Got it... thanks.

I'm tired of all these people saying the Mac DM is up when its not. Stop blue balling me....

DAMMIT check yourself before you post something stupid - Idiots

Hey Bad Bold Boy,

Try actually reading the first few posts in this thread... it WAS up shortly, and removed.

And just FYI, we don't call each other idiots around here and we use grown-up language. If your balls are blue, perhaps your sphincter is wound a little too tight.

You have got to be kidding me. Seriously. I mean it. You have got to be kidding.

Please tell me you're kidding, because if you're not, you really, really need to pay close attention to this specific part of your post:


Oh, and you also need to pay close attention to this part as well:

Hell of a second post though!

Did we ever get a concrete explanation for why the software was pulled? I've still not heard anything definitive from my (limited) contacts. And nothing better than "coming soon" as far as when we can expect this little ray of sunshine in the vast darkness that is our lives.

No idea, but the girlfriend and I got hit with a double-whammy. I had told her that I would update the OS on her Bold when DM for Mac was released, and so it gets released, retracted, and the OS gets pulled. *sigh*

What was the first post? "How do I unlock my 8330?"

Come on - read the post first. PEBKAB followed up with a dash of MFTP.

what do you expect from trolls...LOL

If I had to guess it's the problems with Snow Leopard that many people are reporting. I have to admit I still hold my breath for a while every time I plug BOLD and it auto-syncs. You know, expecting some error message or something weird. My experience with new DM has been too good to be true, after all these years of pocket Mac, Missing Sync, Fusion...

But now I am holding on SL upgrade until RIM goes official.

no problems here with SL and DM for mac....

I had to uninstall DTM because it would not sync calendars properly for me, but for those who still have it can someone try to run the updater? I know we had build 75 and someone testing it told me that it was now up to build 83 or something. I'm wondering if the "check for updates" will bring the latest version, which supposedly is solid. If so I may reinstall and update.

At the same time, maybe my memory is failing and there isn't an update option at all, but I seem to remember one in preferences or under one of the menus. If I'm wrong I'm sorry.

I downloaded it, used it to sync' with my Address Book and then the BlackBerry's Address Book was totally ****ed up. I had to wipe my BlackBerry to solve this!

I tried it, says no new updates are available. Still build 75.

I heard the final version is being packaged with the Skype for Blackberry app for concurrent release.

7 more days (September 25th) to the official release! We hope! Maybe. Oh please, let it be so!!

Yesterday's story at Boy Genius Report.

3 more days

Well that's the 25th of September been and almost over. Anyone want to guess another date?

Whilst you're at it, how about some winning lottery numbers.

RIM has no respect for their customers, especially mac users

and then they wonder about their falling sales? Have a look at today's ZDnet news article about their recent performance that said:

see news.zdnet.co.uk/itmanagement/0,1000000308,39773916,00.htm

Whilst the legal settlement must have hurt, the fall from predicted sales in a market where others are seeing more sales than predicted says something more. Funny that the main competition of iPhone and Android fully support Mac out-of-the-box isn't it?

Will RIM ever get it? The world is not just the USA and desktops aren't only Microsoft.

Yes, those 8% of the population buying Macs are causing RIM's stock to fall. The global economy has nothing to do with it.

I am constantly amazed at the power of the Apple Marketing Machine. 8% becomes a majority.

I wonder how Apple's stock is doing? Hmmm... Mac users aren't solely responsible for RIM's stock, but it is reflective of RIM's overall modis.

Oh, and 8% is still hundreds of millions of machines. I'm always amazed at the Microsoft math in assuming Mac's are irrelevant as a customer base for software and other developers.

Regarding the date change, here is the latest. How irritating is this?
