BlackBerry Messenger Won't Open

Hi!!
I've been trying to open my BBM to use it for the past day and it will not open at all. Sometimes previously I've got the 'Error' message but this time, absolutely nothing, the application just won't open at all.
I've reinstalled BBM at least three times and also have rebooted my phone, both of which has not helped at all.
Does anyone know what's wrong or how I can fix it? Any tips/help would be great
Sarah

Your device, What is your Operating System loaded to your device?
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx"
What is yours?
Your BBMessenger, what is the version at OPtions > Advanced > Applications?
Reboot:  With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

  • Blackberry messenger app wont open

    Well a couple of days ago, my blackberry froze so i decided to pull the battery out for a couple of seconds and put it back in again to resolve this. However, when i tried opening up the blackberry messenger app, it wouldn't open. The bbm app icon is still there, but it just doesn't let me open the app. Yes, i've rebooted it like a million times and yet i'm still having the same problem. I only paid £5 and activated my bbm last week, so i'm pretty sure it hasn't run out yet. Bbm has been working fine until now, and my phone is working fine too, but i have no idea how to get the app to work. 

    Please confirm that your  phone is powered ON when you remove your battery; it won't work if your phone is OFF.
    If that's not the case, reloading the OS to the phone using BlackBerry Desktop Software might do the trick.  For most apps, I would  suggest deleting the reinstalling the app itself but with BBM being a core app, you might not be able to do that so proceed with an OS reload.
    Keep us posted on your progress.

  • BlackBerry Blend won't open on Mac OS X 10.10

    Hi there,
    I just recently got my BlackBerry Passport (awesome device!) and wanted to try BLEND on my MacBook Air.
    My MacBook runs the Golden Master of Apples latest OS (10.10).
    Blend installed fine and Link is working correctly. When I try to open Blend the icon just bounces up and down in the dock and after 5 - 7 seconds it stops bouncing. Blend didn't open and did not give out any error messages.
    I tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing, nothing solved the problem.
    Is anybody experiencing the same issues or does anyone have a solution or ideas on how to solve it?
    Thx an advance!

    Hi, I'm having the same problem, I have used blend only one time on my mac. Upgrading to yosemite didn't fixed it either.
    When running it from the commandline i get the following errors.

  • Can't open my blackberry messenger

    Hi, I can't open my blackberry messenger. If I restart

    Since you just upgraded it, please try instead removing and then reinstalling BBM fresh and clean. Be sure to first backup (locally) your contacts:

    You may also, if you are a member of any groups, want to back those up as well using a selective Desktop Software Backup:

  • Camera on my blackberry won't open

    Hi. I need help. The camera on my blackberry won't open.  It says "Could not start the camera.  Close other applications and try opening the camera again."  I have already closed the applications, tried to reset the settings, remove battery but still the camera won't open. 

    I've had a nokia as my primary phone for the better part of a decade and the E71x is my first smart phone.  I've only had it a matter of days, but I've found the same problems with the camera as described above.  I've found two ways to fix/avoid the problem.
    First: Just turn the phone off and restart.  In other words, all applications using the camera are terminated.
    Second:  This is where I believe the problem is.  The phone was designed to multitask.  If you hold the home (house button) down you can toggle between open applications.  This is much like holding alt and pushing the tab button on a standard windows pc.  The inherent problem is that the camera function WHEN CLOSED IMPROPERLY is no longer accessible or recognized by the firmware.  In other words, if you just push the red/'end call' button to exit your camera session you will run into this problem.  The SOLUTION is that you MUST exit the camera operation EACH TIME.  Note:  If you start using your 'multitask' button you will find how this applies to all the programs we're used to on nokia phones.  So, as annoying as it is, while you are in the OPERATIONAL camera mode, push your soft left button (topmost left) to access the options menu.  Select your options and scroll to exit.  If you EXIT THE CAMERA MODE PROPERLY the phone will no longer consider it a running program.  THIS IS A GLITCH.  In the end it is a good habit to terminate programs that are not in use, but the problem with the camera access is testiment to firmware problems that we are more than likely not going to see a fix for.  This is a good phone and I've never been unsatisfied with owning a nokia, but this particular problem seems like an oversight in firmware.  With proper application closing in mind, you should never run into any major problems with this phone.  But like I've said, I've only had it a matter of days.

  • XP Pro on computer won't open Blackberry Desktop software

    I have been unable to synch my BlackberryTour with Outlook 2010. We run XP Pro as an operating system on the computer in question. Various versions of the Blackberry Desktop software haven't helped. Either they will open the BB Desktop Software (Version 5.0) but won't synch to Outlook 2010, or the BB software loads apparently successfully, but won't open on the computer (Version 7.1). My husband says he tried all the BB desktop versions in between unsuccessfully. Any ideas of what to try?

    Hi dmrincon,
    To clarify, are you unable to launch the BlackBerry® Desktop Software or does it launch and you are just not able to sync?
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I open my BlackBerry Messenger?

    I'm having this problem with my BlackBerry. I don't know why I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. I've tried to plugged out the battery and put it back in but still, I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. So I did it repeatedly but I can't still open my BlackBerry Messenger. I read all about it on the internet and all they suggested is to back-up the BlackBerry Messenger contacts and upgrade the BlackBerry Messenger. I'd like to do that but how can I back-up my BlackBerry Messenger contacts when I can't even open my BlackBerry Messenger? So I tried downloading the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I connect my phone to it and I clicked on "Back up now". And now it's saved in my documents. But my question is, now that (I think) I've backed up all of my data, can I delete my BlackBerry Messenger and install/upgrade it and still have all my contacts? PLEASE REPLY ASAP.

    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app2) Delete and Resend Service BooksKB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphoneIf you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletionKB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet ServicePlease wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.3) RebootWith power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...only they can look at their network to determine why it's not properly communicating with your device.
    Good luck!

  • Unable to open Blackberry Messenger Conversati​ons

    I can't open my Blackberry Messenger Conversations! When a friend sends me a message, I can the message in my mailbox, but am unable to open it... when I try to open it I'm relocated to the messenger conversation that I last sent my friend, but unable to see/open their response. 
    Also, I'm unable to add any contacts to my BBerry Messenger... when I try to add a contact, I'm taken to my address book. When I try to select a contact to add I do not have the option to "Request by Email" or "Request by PIN." 
    Help! This is so frustrating!
    Thanks so much!!!!!! 

    Hi
    I am getting the same problems as well, although my BBM was working fine up to a week ago when my Blackberry dumped all my messages due to storage overcapacity.  I have resolved this since by deleting unwanted files such as photos.
    Did you get any solutions to this problem as it is annoying as I can only read the last sentence of the conversation?
    Thanks
