Hi, I’m Jay Goldman and welcome back to the Blackberry Tips and Tricks Series. Today we’re going to take a look at syncing and charging your Blackberry, which is all about USB. Coming on the model of Blackberry you have, you want to look for the USB port. On this 8800, you’ll find it on the side right there, which is where it usually is. But it might not look exactly the same as that.
There are a number of different USB standards and different USB devices using different cables. So make sure when you’re grabbing your cable and your device, the two match properly. Plugging it in, we’ll show you on the screen that the device is charging and you’ll see it up here, in this case, indicated by the little plug. When you’re plugging it in to a computer, make sure that you plugging it into a power USB port. So if you plug it in to a non-powered one, which you might find, for example on the keyboard, you will typically get a message on the computer telling you have a low power USB device.
Syncing is done using the software that comes with Blackberry, which is great on Windows, and if you’re looking for something for the Mac, take a look in Google for pocket Mac, which is a free alternative that was licensed by Blackberry for all Mac users or from missing synch for the Mac, which is actually a much better and more reliable solution though you will have to pay for it.
Thanks for watching Blackberry Tips and Tricks. Stay tuned for more.
