Desktop Software for Mac

[patopman]

. Save all your contacts on a USB key

. Open a new cession

. Open the Address book which should be empty....and copy all the contacts-----Make sure you close the iCloud option in your preferences and all the contacts are copied to your PC.

. Open BB Desktop and Sync your contacts (better to use the option: replace all my contacts on this BB)

Make sure you first do a Back Up of all your contacts before you Synch them (we never know...)

Should work this way (it did for me)

HI i have gone through all the comments on this topic but yet to find any solution on how to sync BOTH address / contact lists from my bb to mac using desktop mgr. I have sync over and over again i only ever get the first list listed on my contact lists. I must merge the 2 lists to include all my old and new contacts before i backup.
I have tried backing up and restore to another bb9900 and it will show the contacts on separate lists again which is not what i wan. Please advise asap. Thanks

As soon as I logged out of iCloud, the sync worked perfectly...
Until then, I was having all sorts of problems.

Thanks

I am on OS 10.7.2, updated BB desktop to the newest version and it still wouldn't sync...then I went into Address Book "Preferences" then "Accounts" and removed the iCloud and now it just has "On My Mac".  I re-synced and the contacts finally updated.

That's the Key, LOG OUT from iCloud !!!!!!

Actually, I wasn't logged on to iCloud - I'm not using it yet - but it was in my Address Book preferences, unbeknownst to me - so I removed it from there.

Please tell me how then we can sync more than one address book?

Surely this is basic functionality.

I need to back up and sync the totality of my BB on my apple, so i can use dataa in amy address book to send emails etc on my apple.

Basic request surely?
