Hopefully RIM actually releases the Mac version of Desktop Manager in September as planned. Yeah syncing with the macs is hit and miss.

Unfortunately Mac support is far from a priority with RIM and it is left to developers to hack together solutions. One suggestion would be to find an old laptop of pc that you could buy for dirt cheap (does not need to be powerful at all to run desktop manager) and just store it until you need to do upgrades/backups etc. Or alternately you could ask nicely to borrow a friends laptop for a few minutes - most backups etc only take a few minutes.

I am scared to keep trying other syncing programs, because I have emailed myself all my contacts, ical appointments, etc. It's a bigger pain in the ass. Because I have to export from my computer, then email things to myself, then import them to my blackberry. So, I am really scared of trying another program and losing everything I have sent to myself. It was a lot of work and time. Is Missing Sync better?

It worked for me once.. and hasn't worked since. It's pretty stupid that blackberrys aren't compatible with macs. I want to throw mine out the window, I am so frustrated. PocketMac doesn’t work.

Also I do not understand why I have to enter my company name and job title when I am a student. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed because I would really like to have my itunes on my blackberry for travel.
