Problem with RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager.

[psyneed]

My mobo is EP45-UD3R and running SL(10.6.1, 64bit) perfectly.

Everything improving stability is applied, such as proper UUID, and so on.

 

Recently(10/2) RIM officially announced Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac but I've got a problem with it.

 

Plugging my Blacberry Bold with my desktop, it's internal storage is identified as an external disk(the white drive icon), although it should be identified as Blackberry device(the black drive icon with white Blackberry logo on it) and invoke Blackberry DM(Desktop Manager) also.

 

On the other hand, no problem on my real mac(Macbook Air, 10.6.1, 32bit).

 

And the error log says, it can't find a device with the UUID of Blackberry internal storage.(same as what I can find on the disk utility.)

 

 

Anyone with the same problem?

It seems yet another known problem.

will only work on 32bit. read the RIM website again. maybe in a few weeks they will come up with the 64bit driver.

I had this problem as well on 10.5.8. I resolved this by adding the following information to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
