I followed these directions but the original info is still present when I reinstall. Has anyone successfully gotten rid of the 1st install and done a clean 2nd?

To completely uninstall PocketMac for BlackBerry smartphones, complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the Apple Macintosh computer with an account that has administrator-level permissions.
2. Open the hard drive icon on the computer.
3. From the left menu bar, select Applications, then open PocketMac Sync Manager.
4. Click Uninstall PocketMac.
5. When prompted to continue uninstalling PocketMac, click Yes.
6. When the uninstall process is complete, click Quit.
7. Open the hard drive icon on the computer.
8. Select the Users folder.
9. The current user will be indicated by the Home icon. Click the Home icon to continue.
10. Open the Library folder, then open the Preferences folder.
11. Delete the PocketMacBlackberry.plist file.
12. Delete the PocketMacAdvancedPreferenceData.plist file.
13. Delete the PocketMacSyncManager.plist file.
14. Open the Library folder and then open the Application Support folder.
15. Delete the PocketMac and PocketMacSyncManager folders.
16. Empty the Trash from the Dock by right-clicking and selecting Empty Trash.
17. Restart the Apple Macintosh computer.

I have been able to sync the Blackberry Flip with and Imac running OSX 10.4.11. This is with the Packetmac. I am unable to get the Blackberrry Desktop manager installed and I cannot get the Pocketmac to sync by bluetooth. Very disappointed at this trouble.

Just download Blackberry Desktop Manager.
It works perfectly for me.
First on the 8830 and now on the Blackberry Tour.
It’s a RIM program with different versions for PC’s and MACs.

It seems as though no-one has been successful in synching Blackberry and iMac.

Very discouraging!

Has anyone downloaded the LATEST Pocketmac and tried to synch a Blackberry Pearl with an iMac (Leopard)? I am worried that my attempt might destroy/remove/screw-up the fairly large amount of data etc.I have and use on a daily basis.

Mine doesn’t quit, but won’t go past 50% no matter what options I try.

I too am having issues with pocket mac, being used on an OSX 10.4 macbook and syncing a blackberry 8800 series.

The sync goes as far as noting the contact changes/deletions, then freezes once it hits the syncing data portion. I’ve tried multiple combinations of options (yes calendar, no contacts, no tasks, and everything in between) and haven’ gotten it to finish.

I also cannot seem to find a blackberry branded mac software for OSX before 10.5 (leopard).

Any suggestions would be great!

I’ve had no such issues with my G1….

I installed the Pocket mac and it erased/removed/eradicated/uninstalled at least three programs on my Mac, one being Text Edit. Completely GONE. God knows what else it did on its pesky move into my Mac…. afraid to use it now fearing other issues.

Pocket Mac worked a couple of time with my curve. But now crashes all the time. I’ve tried everything! What can I do?

I have a Mac Pro 17″ and I just downloaded pocketmac on it and I can’t get my MAC to start up. The windows with the spinning circle comes up for about 20 seconds and then the MAC shuts down. Any ideas???? Help!!
