OK, Badge . . . nice to know that we have with us the world’s greatest expert on computer use. How condescending of you!!!! Why should ANYONE have to pay extra for 3rd party software just to be able to sync a Blackberry with his/her Mac????? Stop bitching??? All the complaints you’ve read are valid. I am an experienced user (of PCs and the Mac) and that has NOTHING to do with this situation. Why should anyone who has shelled out their hard-earned bucks have to use software that is a “little tricky” and that one has to “fool around a bit and take it really slow”. WHAT???????????????

Give me a break and get off your high-horse. I can tell by the tone of your response that you are nothing if not a total JERK!!

I finally managed to get my Storm and Mac to sync. I have Pocket Mac and I believe it might have been the advice to connect the blackberry before opening Pocket Mac that helped.

You must always remembet to restart you Mac ater Installs just to make sure there are no glitches. With Pocket Mac You must connect the blackberry before opening pocketmac otherwise It won’t sync. You must also get the most upto date version.There are threads out there that will help you out. Just give it time and your storm will surprise you and make you happy!!! I’ve had mine for three weeks and I LOVE IT!!!

Berrygood is right
Mark/Space Missing Sync is very good and works great with iCal 10.5.v
It is worth the $39.00

I just got a Storm yesterday after two happy, flawless years with an 8703e. I was tempted by the iPhone but didn’t want to switch from Verizon – I went through years of agony with other providers before being happy with their service. First Storm phone was a dud, rebooted all day long (every time the phone ‘fell asleep’ it would reset and reboot). Thankfully, Verizon Store swapped it for a new one this morning. I was about to install firmware .114 but glad I didn’t as the Verizon tech said he had to scan for the hacked firmware before trading it in for a new phone (before I even mentioned I was considering it), noting that using the RIM-leaked firmware ‘voids the warranty.’ New phone at least will revive from sleep without crashing. Progress.

However, my primary computer is a Mac aluminum G4 Powerbook, and it won’t sync. It doesn’t even recognize the USB drive. Switch to my terrible Vista-OS laptop and it recognizes the phone, but then the BB Install disks won’t work! I’ve never seen a “can’t read device” error on a fresh-out-of-the-box DVD before. So I’m in the middle of the 200+ MB download from BB, and it looks like I’m stuck having to sync this to my PC, which is quite disappointing.

Hello. Had the Storm for about a week. I like it. Got the Storm instead of iPhone because we have been with Verizon for a while. Got in on the buy one get one free offer. PocketMac didn’t work at first. Contacted email help from BlackBerry and they helped me to sync contacts and notes but not iCal, iTunes or iPhoto. I’m waiting for another reply from them. I keep getting an error that there’s no media card present. I admit I am not a very technical person but can usually get through things in time. Does anyone have ideas how to get iTunes or iPhoto to sync? Thanks!!

The Blackberry platform in general is very business oriented. Your Blackberry Storm comes with free Mac sync software right in the box but you will want to download the latest version from the web instead!
