I have an iMac. How do I upload MP3 files to my BB Storm 2? Is there a Mac compatible program I need to download?
Thanks, Vince.

it covers transferring files to device...
Transfer a file between your device and your computer in mass storage mode or MTP
Depending on your BlackBerry® device model or your wireless service provider, mass storage mode or MTP might not be supported.
Mass storage mode and MTP enable you to transfer files between a media card in your BlackBerry device and your computer, or your device
memory and computer.

2. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
3. Set the Mass Storage Mode Support field or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) field to On.
4. Press the Menu key.
5. Click Save.
6. On your computer, your device might appear as a removable disk. Drag a file from a location on your computer to your device.
To exit mass storage mode or MTP, disconnect your device from your computer.
Change how you transfer files between your device and your computer
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Memory.
3. Do one of the following actions:
• To use mass storage mode to transfer files between your BlackBerry device and computer, set the Mass Storage Mode Support field
to On. If necessary, change the Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected field.
• To use MTP to transfer media files between your device and computer, set the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) field to On. If necessary,

Mass Storage Mode When Connected field to Prompt.

Hi vbbuilt,
Uploading files (MP3s/pictures) from your iMac to your Blackberry Storm is really easy if your iMac has Bluetooth capabilities. See instructions below.
Pair your Blackberry with your iMac:
Go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen, and then select System Preferences. From there, select the Bluetooth pane under Hardware and make sure that Bluetooth is both On and Discoverable. Now, on your BlackBerry's home screen press the manage connection icon and select the Bluetooth check box to enable.
When you first open the application, it will ask you to ensure that the Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, press OK, and it will search for available devices. Once it finishes searching, it will display a list of all the devices it found. Likely your computer will be the only one on the list. Once you've selected to pair with your computer, it will ask you to enter a numeric passkey. The passkey can be any thing (i.e. 0000). Put in a number, and you'll immediately see a box asking for password on your iMac. Enter the same password that you entered on your BlackBerry and press the Pair button. Congratulations, you've paired your phone and your iMac!
Sending files from your Mac onto the BlackBerry:
On the BlackBerry, open your Media file and select Music, Ringtones, Video, or Pictures depending on the media you choose to transfer. Then press menu and select Receive Using Bluetooth. Now go to your iMac and find the file you want to send. Right-click on the file and scroll down to the sub-menu called More. In that menu, you'll find an option to Send "filename" to Bluetooth Device your phone will be listed there. Select your phone and your BlackBerry will ask if you want to receive the file and will prompt you for a location to save it. Pick the location and your transfer will immediately start.
I trust that the above instructions will resolve your file transfer concerns. Please keep us posted if you need further assistance.

Another option if the BB has a SD Card, you could remove card from phone and place in card reader and transfer the files to the card and then you can access the files when card is placed back into the phone..
Apologize for the long delay, but I haven't had the opportunity to try your suggestions till now. Unfortuantely your steps don't work. I've the iMac 24 with Lion OS-X 10.7.3.
On the BB, I have the Media option, then separate buttons for Music, Ringtones, etc. I choose Music, but there is no choice for menu nor any option to receiving with Bluetooth.
In Finder, right-select a music file, there is no submenu called More.
So I don't know where you're getting this info.
Thanks anyway. Vince.
So what about the option to remove the sd card and place in a card reader? When you place it in a reader you should see it as a external drive and in the directory there should be a Music and Photos, simply place the ringers on the card in the correct folders and place back in phone.
I'm a newb here and I'm not sure how to remove that card. Is there an online tutorial somewhere? Or is that listed in the owners manual?
Here is a video of transferring media with a MAC from BB....

Your little snippet from your great response: "Read page #118-119 of owners manual from http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/11395/BlackBerry_Storm2_Series-User_Guide-T643442-643442-1005020330-001-5.0-US.pdf

Actually proved extremely beneficial and solved my problem! On page 118 is this little gem: "BlackBerry® Desktop Manager" I didn't know what that was and googled it. I found a link on the Blackberry website, downloaded that desktop manager for Mac and Voila! Problem solved! It hooks into iTunes and allows me to transfer my MP3 files to the BB! So, the solution to my problem wasn't from Verizon but from Blackberry.
I still don't understand why I can't sync using Bluetooth, but thats a problem for another day.
So THANKS! Vince.
