[cairodai]

To introduce myself.
My name is David (commonly known as Cairodai) I live and work in Egypt and recently bought a blackberry 8800 through carphone warehouse in the UK.
I love the phone but I cannot sync it with my macbook.
I start up the bluetooth on both the laptop and the blackberry. I follow all the instructions and enter the passwords etc. Once I have paired with the laptop and want to exchange files via bluetooth the laptop bluetooth says I do not have the neccesary permisions.
I have no idea what this means as there is no explanation or solution.

I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Look forward to hearing from someone who will tell me in simple laymans terms how to do this.
Regards

David

you can download pocket mac from blackberry.com, that will help with some basic sync functions. I transfer things between my macbook and 8300 all the time, i know you are using an 8800 but be sure both applications are set to trusted especially on the blackberry itself, that is often the problem..

I had the exact same problem and have made a thread myself just before finding yours.

Bascially what you can do is install the programme from the disc onto the Macbook, use the sync cable and drag and drop into your Blackberry folder. It's very simple and faster than bluetoothing. I have no idea why the Blackberry is incompatible with the Macbook bluetooth but it seems to have caused some concern for you too.
