What’s new in version 204.00.18

Version 204.00.18:

Installation/Connection
  • If you are running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, when you connect your smartphone or tablet to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, you receive an error message indicating that the BlackBerry Device Manager wants to use confidential information stored in your keychain. If you select Always Allow, when you disconnect and reconnect your device, you will receive the error message again.
  • Workaround: On your Mac, open the keychain access. Open the BlackBerry device item. In Access Control, select Allow for all applications.
  • If you connect your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet when it's turned off, the tablet isn't connected when you turn it on again.
  • After upgrading from a previous version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software, the phone number for the Apple Assistant in your contacts switches fields although you didn't make that change.
  • If you connect a BlackBerry smartphone that is running BlackBerry Device Software 4.1 or lower to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, you don't receive a message that the smartphone is unsupported.
  • Some configurations, such as updating your media card size, aren't displayed when you connect your smartphone.

As OS X 10.9 Mavericks doesn't support Sync Services anymore, you'll need to use BlackBerry Link instead to sync contacts or other stuff.

CAUTION - This update (2.0.1) removed the ability to sync with iTunes. I have a Blackberry Bold 9000. After this update it tells me I have no media card installed so it cannot sync music. Media Card? It has a Sim card and the option is checked for any media files. This worked fine before the upgrade. Whatever improvements there may be (I did not notice any), loosing music was not OK with me. I am looking for a download of the last version, anyone know where I can find it?

FINALLY WORKS IN 64-BIT MODE! JUST PERCHANCE I downloaded and installed this update and rebooted while still in 64-bit mode and plugged in my Bold 9700. MUCH to my surprise, in the lower left of the window there was the words displayed; "Connecting..." Boom! It popped up as connected, I clicked Sync and, guess what? It SYNC'D! Now there's NO reason to boot in 32-bit mode... awesome!

I have a new macbook pro and this software doesn't support Mac OS X 64 bit. I want to do the sync between my blackberry and my mac but don't want to turn my system into 32 bit. Is there a way to do it or do i need to wait a new version of this software?
