![]() ![]() ![]() I am running Mac OS v 10.4.10 (just installed yesterday) but the version before that also didn't work. Parallels Version is 3212 and was I think 3188 before that, neither worked. I assume the issue is how Parallels handles Active Sync (which is the basis for the Blackberry Desktop Sync) So I hope you guys can figure this out, if I wans't on a network that syncs Outlook to any computer from the Exchange server and I can sync my Blackberry using the noebook (although it's a PIA) I'd be dead. It is absolutely a bug within Parallels as I have a Windows XP Pro notebook which when I load the same software it works flawlessly. Then the problems merely starts all over again. When it is recognized and I attempt to access the Sync menu in the BB Desktop software to specify what parts of Outlook I want to sync it freezes the Blackberry Desktop Software and the only way to un-freeze it is disconnect the phone. Sometimes the phone is recognized by Parallels sometimes notĢ. I have a Blackberry 8300 (Curve) that I am trying to sync with my MSFT Windows XP Pro Guest Operating system and it won't work. And, it can be inferred that since the same software works on the same MacBook with VMWare and that the same software works on a Dell laptop with the same handheld also leads me to see Parallels as the problem. I will say again though that enough Parallels users are having problems with their BBs to point to an issue or bug in the VM. In Parallels the connection to the Handheld just times out.Īt any rate, I'm glad your BB is working for you. This works perfectly on my Dell laptop (using the same exact software) and, as I said in my original post, it also works in VMWare's Fusion. To answer your question about what I'm trying to do, I am merely trying to backup the handheld using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager in Parallels. Right now I am downloading the latest 4.2.x GSM version of the Handheld and Desktop software and will see if that works. My handheld is an 8700g (T-Mobile) - I've always used the GSM software. I have used many combinations of Desktop/Handheld software over a long period of time (always the correct Handheld and Desktop software). I will try to be more specific about the problems that I have had with regard to my BlackBerry. Plug in Blackberry, press synch button on desktop and the data just flows in the proper directions. Boot to windows and Blackberry desktop appears right away. I've NEVER had to do anything out of the ordinary to get the sync to work. Blaming Parallels or Blackberry is fruitless since it is unlikely that either vendor is responsible for your problem. Go to Blackberry's web site, download the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop for your model and carrier and see if it works. I think the problem lies with your carrier's implementation of the blackberry desktop. So, to be perfectly clear, I don't believe the problem is either blackberry, windows, or parallels. ![]() However, Cryptmagic, which I use for keeping store of all my passwords and PINs happens to be a Windows program and so I need to use the Blackberry Windows Desktop to synch the cryptmagic desktop. Normally I don't use Windows for syncing since Pocket Mac works beautifully on the OSX side. I have NEVER had trouble syncing either of these blackberries with Windows XP or Windows Vista running under Parallels 2.5 and 3.0. Both of these are garden variety Blackberrys (OK, not the 8830). Before that I used the Blackberry Desktop that ships with the Verizon 7130. I use the Blackberry Desktop for Windows that ships with the Verizon 8830. I don't understand what software you're trying to install. ![]()
