Desktop Software for Mac

[gugggi]

Hey, 

I'm using a unbranded, factory unlocked BB Bold 9900 with a T-Mobile prepaid sim. 

My current software version is 7.0 Bundle 1672. 

I would like to update my device software to 7.1

I have downloaded the BB Desktop Software (Version 2.3.1 (build 5)). The Desktop Software tells me that there are no updates available. I also tried to get an update over the air but that didn't work either. 

I'm using a Mac laptop with Mac OS X. 

Can someone please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Tmobile has 7.1 available for the 9900, heres how you do it:

I went to http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

and used the tmobile software link:  http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade/

Click on the get software button on the Bold 9900 section and install it.  Before trying to upgrade to 7.1, you'll need to delete the vendor.xml file.

See this link:

As always, do a full backup first using the desktop manager and setup blackberry protect before upgrading device software!

Thank a lot for your help. 

Unfortunately the software version is an .exe file, I can't run it on my MAC

gosh, you're right, you did say a mac.  I'm not sure this type of update can be done using a mac.  Maybe someone else can chime in if they have ideas.  Can you find a PC to try this on?
