How Do I Set Up Blackberry User Tools on a Mac?
Whereas BlackBerry User Tools was the device manager available for Windows, BlackBerry Desktop Manager is the all-encompassing media and data manager for BlackBerry devices on Macintosh computers. This software can be downloaded from the BlackBerry site for free. Once the software is downloaded and installed, you can sync your music and playlists to your mobile phone, back up your phone's data onto your Mac and later restore the phone from a previous backup.
