I bought the missing sync to sync my Bold with my Mac. How can I upgrade my bold to the latest OS for my device. It was easy on a PC, but Rim does not look like they do very well with mac. Can anyone help?

You won't be able to do this on a Mac without installing some virtualization software so you can run a Windows operating system to perform the update.

You need to use a Windows machine to do the OS upgrade. Either find a friend who will let you use their PC or get something like Parallels or VMWare to boot Windows on your MAC.

VMWare works. Parallels is far less reliable.

Yes.. VMware Fusion good...

I actually keep an old ThinkPad lying around just for phone stuff. If you have an Intel-based Mac, you do have options:

xxx8730; VMware + Windows
xxx8730; Boot Camp + Windows
X Parallels - never/rarely works

i run bootcamp on my MBP and i do all installs that way... bootcamp is free on the mac so, no issues there... you'll have to acquire a windows install cd though...
