How to Sync iPhoto & a BlackBerry
BlackBerry smartphones don't have a very good history of being compatible with Apple Mac computers, focusing instead on Windows PC users. However, the release of BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac made syncing your Mac's media with your BlackBerry a smooth and simple task. The second version of the software, released in 2011, includes the option to sync your BlackBerry directly with iPhoto.
