Default MAC does not acknowledge BB 8300 - HELP!!

Please Login to Remove!

I just bought a BB 8300, everything seems to be working fine, calls incoming/outgoing, internet, bluetooth etc. When I plug the BB into my Mac (OS X 10.4.11 Intel) there is no response from the computer. In PocketMac for Blackberry, Status reads as Available, but nothing comes up next to Device, even though the BB charges...
Please help, this is driving me nuts!!
Many Thanks.

Default Can you be a bit more explicit?

Can you tell us if you have a media card installed? Media card support turned on? You tried accessing the device over USB using Missing Sync (it has a free trial period)?

Need more info to help you. What did you do with PocketMac to connect to the BB?

I have the same issue as VancouverBB. Here's my info;

BB is RIM 7290. Computer is iMac with Leopard. Not sure about the media card being installed. In the computer or the blackberry? Let me know how to find out and I can get back to you. I tried connecting the BB to my iMac using the usual USB cable that fits the BB (it was actually the cord I got with my canon camera). The problem is that is won't register on the pocketmac. I get that same "Available" status.

The weird thing is that I know PocketMac can work on my BB. I was at the Apple store for a personal training session, and the trainer downloaded PocketMac onto the demo MacBook Pro, hooked my BB up using a canon cable, and Synced my BB! I went home, followed all the steps he took, and came up empty. Is it something to do with the iMac vs MacBook Pro????

Any help would be wonderful. The trainer suggested dragging my iMac into the store if I still had problems, but who wants to drag a desktop computer around?
