No Direct support for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet - why not I just bought it?

I've just bought a playbook. It says it comes with complimentary technical support for 90 days form the date of purchase. I have attempted to register the device using the S/N number as required and I get the following:
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however, get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion.
Why? grrrrrrrrrrrr

It should be. The complimentary support is just for help setting it up.
If you visit http://blackberry.com/support and follow the link for PlayBook you should get a phone number you can call, and RIM support will be able to help you.

Digital Editions for BlackBerry Playbook

Hi,
I tried to download Adobe Digital Editions for my playbook. But I later leaned that it's not compatible with Playbook.
Can somebody please let me know other way to check out books from public digital library for playbook.

There are two possible issues. One is whether the file is in .epub or .pdf format, the other is whether it has DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied to it.
It seems there are Blackberry apps for .epub files.
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/50823/?lang=en
http://forums.crackberry.com/playbook-apps-games-f243/best-epub-reader-726698/ talks about some. I don't know if the name crackberry means they are for a cracked Blackberry only.
Both these threads talk about NON-DRM .epub files.
There are lots of non-drm .epub files for download: including almost all classics that are out of copyright (try project Gutenberg).
Most bought books and library books have DRM applied.
I haven't seen anything that says you can read DRM books on the Blackberry.
There are hints one might be coming.

http://www.berryreview.com/2012/10/23/devs-adobe-reader-mobile-sdk-for-epub-drm-now-availa ble-for-playbook-blackberry-10/
I would avoid converting to .pdf for reading if at all possible.
pdf format files don't flow to match your screen size and chosen font size, and are a pain for anything apart from their original application in printing.

hello,
I think you'll have much more answers if you post in one of the three discussion boards "Blackberry Development" :

PGP Support for BlackBerry Update

Hi,
Are there any plans, dates or details for an update to the PGP Support for Blackberry package?
Also, what is the process for logging & tracking feature requests relating to this package?
The particular feature we desperately want to see is:
To give a user the ability to send an encrypted e-mail with attachments from a BlackBerry device that is operating the PGP Support for BlackBerry package.
Currently the package can receive (decrypt) emails with attachments and only send (encrypt) emails without attachments. There is no workaround for this and it is a mayor limitation of the PGP Support for BlackBerry package. It is holding back the package from being rolled out to a larger market audience, and limiting existing users tremendously.
This feature request has now been logged with Symantec:
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/ideas/pgp-support-blackberry-encrypted-e-mail-attachments
and emailed to [email protected]
Any advice, comments or thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks,

I too would love to see this update! I feel most of RIM's resources are probably being put into getting BB 10 and infrastructure ready for launch?
My workaround for this issue is to install the SMIME support package and have users send encrypted attachments via SMIME. PGP support package has been updated to work with the SMIME package (to a degree). It automatically looks up certificates attached to the PGP users keys and encrypts and decrypts based on those public/private certificates.
Unfortunely the SMIME package isnt as user friendly, users contantly have to hit the blackberry button and then more or more all to load the entire message for longer messages and messages with attachments.
So far I can't seem to get AES Encryption working with the SMIME support package, only have managed to get 3DES and a few other inferior encryption algoriths to work with the SMIME package.

Support for Blackberry?

Does anyone know whether OCFO 10 provides improved support for Blackberry Desktop Manager? The previous version only supported up to version 3.6 (without SP1 or SP2).
Thank you.

Hello,
The question is really one for RIM. So far, the Intellisync fixes have not been implemented in the Blackberry Desktop releases so you'll have to continue to run it against version 3.6.0 or earlier. The architecture changes to OCFO that will help circumvent this problem will not be available until mid-2006.
For over-the-air wireless synchronization, we have a number of great solutions for you. Through our partnership with Consilient, we can offer Blackberry-Oracle synchronization, and we'll soon be offering a push-IMAP solution for email that will work even better. You should talk to your Oracle Account Manager for more information about those solutions.
Hope that helps,

How can I get direct support for Photoshop Touch?

Hi,
does anyone know what's the best way to get direct support for PS Touch? I searched but didn't find anything...
It's great to have a good community, but I think it shouldn't replace direct support.
I still have a problem with loading pictures which makes PS touch more or less useless for me.
Thanks,
Raschko

Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

You think this is an injustice?
I think that injustice relates to rights that are not honored or respected, and I think we can agree that in no circumstance, human, civil, political or legal, is having or owning an Apple ID, or any other consumer item, a right.
Why should this happen? ...Iraq ... Afghanistan....
I believe that Apple, and most American companies, would love to have access to every market in the world, and Iran certainly (or at least, potentially) represents a larger market for Apple products than many countries in which they do business. So, given the choice, they'd be there.

Does Mac Pro support SLI in Bootcamp? - Why not in MacOS?

Hi!,
I only have two questions:
- Does Mac Pro support SLI in Bootcamp?
- Why not in MacOS?
Thanks and... cheers!

Yes, the Mac Pro does support SLI in Boot Camp, however, Apple does not currently provide drivers for SLI in Mac OS X, this might come in the future.

I forgot my password for my mac book retina which I just bought 1 1/2 months ago. Is there any possibility to reset it?

Is there any possibility to reset it? I guess (not sure) the operating system is os x.

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

Repackaging Android Viewer App for BlackBerry PlayBook

Hi,
Does anyone have tried this? If yes, then was repackaged Viewer working OK on the PlayBook? What tools/utilitiies were used for repackaging as there are few available:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/
http://crackberry.com/how-install-android-market-and-other-applications-your-blackberry-pl aybook
"The BlackBerry PlayBook is a tablet like no other. The powerful QNX Real Time Operating System embedded within allows it run an entirely different operating system as another application on top of the standard PlayBook OS. This is how the PlayBook will run repackaged Android applications. For the most part, though, repackaged apps will appear to run just like regular PlayBook applications."
Thank you,
Gennady
Update: This compatibility test determines how compatible your app is with the BlackBerry PlayBook OS:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/bpaa/apk-compatibility-check
And this is a result for Android Market Installer build with Sprint 19 Viewer Builder:
Your application is not compatible with the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps.
Your application uses a feature which is incompatible with the current version of the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps. We recommend that you download the BlackBerry® Plug-in for ADT to test your application and remove features as required.
4. Severe incompatibilities found
Impact     Type     Reason
3     uses-permission     com.android.vending.BILLING
So if In-app Billing would be optional checkbox for Android app with the optional use of com.android.vending.BILLING in the code, then I guess it will be possible to repackage Viewer for PlayBook. And yes, Amazon Appsstore Installer is compatible with the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps.

OS2 for the Playbook is still in beta at this point, should be released sometime next month.
So your problem is not that you can't find any apps, you just can't find the one(s) you're looking for.

Help Needed Badly | BlackBerry INC000025111306 | BlackBerry PlayBook - Tablet button does not work, almost stuck, copper under screen, seventh repair

I was really Humilitated my RIM on this Ticket whcih i rasied.
1) I bought a new tablet in last november in 2 months i had a Charger issue
2) They said this charger issue we cannot replace with new tablet and gave me a refurbished Tablet to me .
3) Which also had same charging issue and they exchanged 2 more tablets and the last tablet which was given to me by RIM have a safety concern
- 1 Small mesh of wire is poping out from the Tablet
- Power Button is very hard and its not that easy to press,
So i raised the above ticket and was esclated internally with RMA as well and i got an update from the esclation agents that we will reply back in 2 Days i waited almost 3 weeks and called 2 times in this 3 weeks for an Update asking for a new tablet so that atleast once in all i can jeep a good 1 Tablet.
But they never bothered to call me and today i called them again and RIM gave me a call back mentioning we cannot give a new tablet we can again check this tablet repair it and give it back , If we cannot repir then give a replacement new/Old tablet,
I was wondering how can a tablet from RIM can go out without such safety concern ? How a mesh of wire can comeout of tablet so what safety norms RIM is follwoing for customer.
AM i not humilitated? since after taking all these struggle tto get a good tablet i have been considered as bad.
What RIM have to say for this, I am planing to take this to Legal department to follow how i can get a justice for this.

I would have deleted this but can't find a delete?
At any rate. got the Blackberry going again but it reset it and lost all the info, pictures and so forth.. oh well. at least it is still working.
Thanks.
