I am trying to setup my Blackberry Storm with my new 27" iMac i5. I have installed the latest Blackberry Desktop Manager. When I connect my Blackberry directly to the iMac USB port it says on the Blackberry that this USB port can't charge the blackberry. The iMac never indicates that it recognizes the phone. Anyone successful with this?
Got a tip for us?

I'm having the same Issue with a Blackberry Curve. It won't recognize it neither as massive storage nor as a phone. The cable works fine tough...
I was looking into this the other day. Most sites recommend booting in 32-bit kernel to get it to work. It's supposed to be done by holding 2 and 3 on the keyboard while booting up. It seems to work for some people but not myself.
Give it a shot!

You got it wrong. Actually, you must hold the "3" and the "2", not the other way around...
Just an update since this thread came alive again. I got mine to work by using the original blackberry cable that came with the phone and plugging it into a dedicated USB port on the iMac (not on a hub). Using other micro usb cables were giving me problems, although they worked fine on other computers.

Touche'!
I was plugging the phone with the original cable into a USB port from the beginning.
