BlackBerry Desktop Manager204.00.18

I am thrilled that we finally have a decent BlackBerry syncing solution on the Mac. PocketMac was terrible, and so was Missing Sync; both have a long history of deleting and corrupting information and of randomly throwing up errors. Admittedly, at its worst, BlackBerry Desktop Manager is no better; lots of people have been reporting these same kinds of problems with it. But at its best, it works well for syncing, and it also brings in the abilities of the Windows BDM that the other Mac syncing products have lacked: backing up and restoring your phone, and managing applications installed on it. Before using this software, read some comments and troubleshooting tips about it on BlackBerry discussion forums. (For example, "http://forums.crackberry.com/f62/".) And then make a backup of your Mac's Address Book (export it to a file), and use this software to make a backup of your BlackBerry, so you have something to revert to if things don't go well. When I first tried to sync, it simply errored out and said that the sync failed. But after some finagling and trial-and-error, now I've got syncs running smoothly. I'm happy with this software for now, and I hope that RIM fixes a lot of bugs in subsequent versions!

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.

From BBDM software: BlackBerry® Desktop Software 2.1.3 supports the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, and you can sync your music playlists, pictures, and videos, and import your pictures and videos between your tablet and your computer. This release also supports the following BlackBerry® 7 smartphones:  BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810, BlackBerry® Torch™ 9850, BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900, and BlackBerry® Bold™ 9930.

Overall a good piece of software, much improvements over the older version however i hope they would fix the stability issues and make it more user friendly. Download Link: BlackBerry_Desktop_Software_2.0.0.65.dmg

Even when i own a blackberry curve and have the BBDM basically, every App and every programme RIM has launches is failed always crashes and always stops in the middle of backing-up my BB. Hope they can find the write solution for these problems and fix it.

Still wonk work in 64-bit mode under Snow Leopard.

A whole new version number for a visual overhaul? It still works fine for me but, besides it looking nicer, I haven't noticed any change more than being able to import media from the BlackBerry to sync with iTunes/iPhoto- which is kind of nifty, anyway.

This is not a new release. BlackBerry's website says August 4, 2010.

Hallelujah! Finally success after a number of false starts with versions up to 1.0.3. Every time I tried it in the past, the sync would fail and my Storm 9550 would get erased. So why did I keep trying every time a new version came out? Because Missing Sync for Blackberry was so dodgy it was taking years off my life troubleshooting when some new crap would happen every week. So now my BlackBerry and I are happy.

The link has been updated.

This link currently only downloads version 1.0.2 from the Blackberry site. This would be a problem on the site developer's end.

The link still won't work and thanks for the tip about the app itself asking to "updat"!

Download link doesn't work, but the App will ask to update.

Quick note - this is not a "Demo", it's the real thing, and it's free.
