My final gripe relates to the fact that BlackBerry users can’t employ the new Mac software to load unofficial or beta software and operating systems on their devices. I spoke to a number of folks who also downloaded the Mac Desktop Manager beta, and many experienced similar media sync problems, so my issues aren’t unique, at least in that early build. RIM clearly missed that date–in fact, the company told me initially that the software would be available in the “first half of 2009”–but it did drop a somewhat misleading press release in the last days of September that made it seem like the company had achieved its target release date…sort of. That’s because the company posted months ago on its BlackBerry for Mac Web page that the software would be available in September. Seems to me that RIM’s having problems ironing out those kinks, but it can’t wait any longer to release the software. Specifically, the sync process stopped after an hour or so, leaving me frustrated and my device frozen until I force-quit the program and reformatted my memory card.įrankly, I find that a bit hard to swallow, as I had similar media sync issues the entire time I used the unofficial beta software. ![]() ![]() I was able to sync small amount of media from my iTunes library between my BlackBerry Bold and MacBook–as much as six GBs–but as soon as I tried syncing any amount of data more than 10GB, I encountered problems. But therein lies one of the biggest problems I have with the new BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac: media sync troubles. Unlike current version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Windows PCs, the Mac-version incorporates BlackBerry Media Sync, so there’s no longer any need to employ an addition program for syncing media files between your computer and RIM handheld. BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac performs all the basic syncing functionality a BlackBerry user needs. ![]() Gone are the days when Mac users had to resort to expensive third-party BlackBerry syncing programs like The Missing Sync or PocketMac for their personal information management (PIM) needs.
