BlackBerry Smartphones Mac user of the device software update

How do I update my device software if I don't Winzozz?  Is this the end of my BB?  Am I obligated by an iPoophone?

First of all, iPoophone... I love it!

I'm the take that you are on a Mac, right?  There are two options for installing software of BlackBerry device while on a Mac, the easiest being to use Bootcamp or a similar Virtual Machine that allows you to run Windows on your Mac.  Of course, this requires a copy of Windows, so...

It also seems that RIM is developing a BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac.  A catch-all current installation files are made for Windows, it will be not as easy as you might think.  Sounds this good, this is the first step towards the development of records for Mac OS installer that can be run off BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac.  Now, is the last part of this speculation on my behalf, so don't hold me to it then I have absolutely no idea when it might come out, but it gives hope!  Keep an eye on official news on this as soon as it is available.

Next option is to use the Wireless Upgrade option if your provider supports.  For example, I know that Verizon will allow upgrades wireless directly on your phone, no need for a computer at all.  Ask your carrrier for more information.

As an alternative, you can also go to your BlackBerry dealer and ask them to update your phone for you.  Most of the dealers will be repeated, especially if they are not too busy.

And another well - ask a friend with a PC please, pretty please allow you to use their computer for the upgrade.

In any case, although that there no incredibly easy solution, I hope that the foregoing shows that it is not a hopeless case and options are available.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch of sdgardne!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Getting fatal when the device 4.5 software update

    Hello

    I have a BB 8800 and I wanted to update the device software to the last v4.5 as mentioned on the website of blackberry. So, I downloaded 8800M_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_Rogers.exe and used the last office v4.7 to install it. The process went well until near the end, he has made a fatal error with no specific error code or message and after that my camera did nothing about it. It shows just a screen white with code 507 or 561.

    I could get by installing Desktop Manager v4.3. and by following the instructions here:

    http://CrackBerry.com/BlackBerry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-BlackBerry

    I don't know if the USB power management was the cause, but I could go.

    See you soon.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones after switch of the device to the same model, BB missing Apps (like cards and password keeper)

    I had problems for a long time with my keyboard on my BB Bold 9900, so finally I was given a used to toggle Bold 9900. I have used the functionality of the switch device of BlackBerry Desktop (v7.1) software and was off and running on my 'new' "BOLD". Finally, I noticed that the cards and password keeper are missing on my new phone. I did a lot of digging through our corporate HelpDesk, phone call from mobile provider support, and if Google search (incl. various BlackBerry support forums). Nowhere is that I found a solution that worked.

    A number of sources did the download card www.blackberry.com/ but that results in a message of "Opinion sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry Maps."

    When I look in the Applications tab of BB Desktop Software, BlackBerry Maps is not listed (is not password keeper).

    Two of my phones are running OS 7.1 Bundle 2840. Carrier SaskTel (part of the network of Bell Mobility).

    Any ideas?

    From what you describe, something is not right when you installed/updated / switched devices. Thus, a clean reload of the OS would be the right thing to do. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    For the mail issue seems to send me a copy is the only way to go, right?

    This would be a solution.

    And on the BRI, my test was on a PC, it did not work...  Anyway, I was going to connect to the BIS to work on my question above, but seems that it does not help now, then it does not matter if I enter or not.

    Well, it's quite strange... I just used who link me (from a PC) and get my BIS account very well. You can, however, use the interface for device BIS - watch this demo that I you provided above for instructions on this. BIS is simply a service provided by your operator. The PC/Web site method and device interface - these are simply two different interfaces in the same Department, so using one or the other is not serious... they cause the same thing.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not disable the device password!

    I was playing with my Storm the weekend and decided to apply a password to the device. Now I can't turn it off and I hate that I am constantly asked for her. When I go to 'Options', then 'password' it has not the ability to disable the password feature. The toggle button at the top of the password page is soft gray with a tiny tiny red lock next to her and I can't click on the button. The only thing I can do is to change the password. Any suggestions? !!

    I solved my problem. I did a reset of the handset and that got rid of the option activate the password. However, when I did a backup of subsequent restoration of the handset, I was careful to choose only what I wanted really saved (address book, calendar, etc.). If oyu make a full backup that you will get the active password once you restore again.

  • Map of blackBerry Smartphones transfer Media to the device memory

    I have a few rings I bought and you want to transfer. I update the Mem Card a 8 GB of the 120 MB and you must place these ringtones on the device memory and then put in a larger map and then transfer to the Mem card. Can someone give me some step by step directions if possible. Thank you as always. Eldon

    The media icon > Explore > go to your desired ringtone and don't open it, just highlight it > Menu > move.

    From there you access the memory of your device and drop it into the similar ringtone folder.

    You can also copy off your ringtones on your PC by allowing the storage of mass on your media card Options > Media Card.

    Then plug your BB to the USB port and you should be an option for a removable folder in my computer on your PC.

    Remove the battery from the unit and see if it restarts.

    Hi Mejdzer

    You can try any free software available that if ABC Amber is not supported in your PC, the most important is the backup, as you did. So, use different software available and see which allows your PC. Try another such as the analysis of the IPD or MagicBerry and see the result.

    And no I don't think that any update is required for your device.
