Just upgrade my poor little macbook from tiger to leopard few months ago, and now from leopard to snow leopard.

the OS operation respond time was totally wicked, as i spend like 20 secs or less to restart it. they were mentioned the Snow Leopard OS pretty save space and i couldn’t agree more than that as my left over capacity was 100 GB and after upgraded to the latest OS and my hard disk now is 137 gb.

if you happen to upgrade your OS and having issue tethering from your mac to your blackberry, this is the solution. Anyhow, this is meant for maxis user only.

USB :

download BlackBerry Desktop from the official Website

1st, install the Desktop Manager in your mac then ensure that your BlackBerry is connected your mac USB cable. you should be able to see the phone button on the right top of the bar.

click on the phone option then go to Open Network Preference. the screen below will be appearing in your screen.

please click on the advanced button for model selection as well as the APN setup.

after you have done the setup, click on OK then the 1st screen will appear and REMEMBER to click on apply before you press on the connect button.

Bluetooth Tethering

as for bluetooth tethering, please refer to the info below.

  1. Pair your phone with the Mac. Be sure you have set it up as a Trusted Connection and is set to “Yes” and not “Ask”.
  2. In Preferences, select your phone in the list, and then click “Configure this device”. This will launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
  3. Select “Research in Motion” for Vendor, and “BlackBerry IP Modem(CDMA)” for Phone Model. (just in case you don’t have it in the option, please install Desktop Manager as it comes with it)
  4. as for user name it would be “maxis”, password will be “wap”, phone number will be “*99#” and APN will be “unet” for 3G or “net” for normal GSM  (you may refer to the screen as below.)

the modem as well as APN setup will be the same as the way of USB tether.

well, Happy Tethering :)
