Desktop Software for Mac

[Philipk]

I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time. 

After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."

The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.

When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.

What should I do next?

At work, on a PC it worked right away when connecting so I think the problem is with the OSX Desktop Software.

Two more unsolved cases which seem to be related to the same issue?

Is Desktop Software working for anyone on OSX Lion, if anyone is using Lion with BlackBerry please confirm that it can work.

I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.

One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference. 

Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.

If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

New Black Berry Desktop Software fixed this issue for me, just came out a few hours ago.

Uninstall the desktop software and then reinstall with this update!

I spoke too soon, I got one step closer by actually being able to see my device... but nothing actually seems to work. I can't get music, photos, or videos to sync.
