Hey R100ELL,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Try clearing the BlackBerry® App World cache:
1. Launch the BlackBerry® AppWorld application.
2. Swipe in from the bottom-left corner of the frame to bring up the keyboard.
3. Type rst.
Note: BlackBerry App World will not provide any notification that the reset has been performed.
Thanks.

App world keeps giving me the error message

I have a blackberry Q10 and everytime I try and download something from the app world it keeps giving me the error message of ' an error has occured. Please try again later' this started happening when I upgraded my app world.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
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 (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With 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.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
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. Also check your BB10 OS level to be sure it also is up to date.
Good luck!

How do i get the app world if I have the mac os x 10.5.8

help!

If you are referring to the App Store, you must upgrade to Snow Leopard first.
Snow Leopard is still available from the Apple online store..
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
You can't access the App Store running v10.5.8 Leopard.

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

The App World of PLAYBOOK is missing!

Some days before, i cannot use my app world normally, it stay at Background image,no application icons came out.
So,i wipe data yesterday, but the app world is missing when my playbook finished the installion, and i update to the lastest version ,i also can not find the app world .
How can i do for my playbook! no app world ,no applications! the playbook will be a mp3/4 player! no!!!!!!!

I also updated to the BlackBerry PlayBook version 1.0.5 Bundle 2304. I used the App World several times to install (and possibly delete) applications.
I installed an app successfully, then I was no longer able to see the icons in App World. All I see is the background image.
After rebooting the PlayBook, App World is still blank. However, the notification icons related to updating apps in App World are present. Clearing the notifications do not change the status of App World. The notifications eventually reappear in the status area. At least one of these notifications are for a program that was previously updated to the alerted version -- the notice still appears after the app was updated. (The app was updated prior to this current problem with App World.)
[Additional Information: My PlayBook was in development mode since I was testing an app I developed. The sample app was signed and I do not have a debug token installed on my machine yet. Disabling the development mode has no change to this problem.]
[Additional App Info: JQuery Mobile App is now a completely blank screen. I tried to update it in App World prior to this problem and was given a message that the PlayBook could not connect with App World. However, soon after this attempt, I was able to download the BlackBerry News and CrackBerry apps. Immediately after installing these apps, I no longer had access to App World -- it is now a background image.]
There does not appear to be a way to erase App World from the PlayBook to reinstall it. A security wipe may be the only way to restore the app.
I will continue to diagnose this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: There is another thread that resolves this topic for some people by typing RST on the App World screen. This does not resolve my problem (even after rebooting). http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/App-World-stopped-working/td-p/1139737

Does not meet the system requirement for installing BB App World

I bought a Curve 8520 in Singapore yesterday. When i tried to download App world into this phone, it says "my phone does not meet the system requirement for the software". does it refer to hardware specification or the BB O/s version on the phone. How can fix it because being able to use App world is one of the purposes that i buy a BB.
Also, How about MS Live Messenger , facebook ? Do I need to install them seperately through App World?
Please help!

Hi there!
Please see these links for reference:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_system_requirements
http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/devicesoftware/appworld/appworld_availability_en.html
A key component in accessing AppWorld is your carrier -- if they are not delivering it, then you can't get it. If you don't have an adequate plan from them that incudes it, then you can't get it. Hence, if you meet the hardware requirements AND it is available in your country, then you need to contact your carrier to find out how you can get it via their network.
All that said, AppWorld is merely a storefront, vending apps developed by others...there are many other storefronts available that don't have the same restrictions.
Good luck!

Apple ID, email verification says the ID is already in use, but App world keeps saying i havent veryfied the email account

Been trying to download apps for my iPad, just created my apple ID, the verification email keep saying in bold red letters that the ID is already in use, that I should only access the App world with that account, but at App world it says that the email account has nit yet been veryfied and resends the verification mail!! How can I solve this?

You can check to see if it is associated with one of your IDs by following this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, and entering the email address at step 2 to see if it finds an ID owned by you. If it doesn't, contact the Apple account security team and have them check into it by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Apple ID account security.

Backing up and restoring app data of an App World (BlackBerry World) app

I'd like to do a security wipe on my old Bold 9700 and then reinstall/restore an App World (BlackBerry World) app that I purchased with the same BlackBerry ID.
1. Can I reinstall an app via App World after a security wipe?
2. WIll the app data (e.g. game scores) be restored?
3. I did a full back up with BDS7, if reinstalling the app on a security wiped phone does not reinstate the app data, can I retrieve the app data by restoring the app from the backup?
4. What about copying the .rem files of the App World folder of the app to my computer, reinstalling the app via App World and then copying the .rem files back to the Blackberry? Or is there another location I should look for the app data?
Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
HandsomeP wrote:

That I'm not sure of...it likely depends on how the scores are stored. If they are stored on the device, then it might be able to re-obtain that information after you reinstall the app. Likewise, if they are stored on some server somewhere, it might be able to do so. But there's really no way for anyone but the app developer to know for sure. If I were you, I'd prepare myself for those being lost as a result of this activity.

Maybe -- again, it depends on how the app works, which only the app developer can say. Some apps store data in AppMemory (which is what gets backed up), others store their data in Device or Media Card Memory (which is not necessarily backed up). And it may well be moot anyway, depending on how the developer coded the app.

Same issue...it all depends on how the developer coded the app. If the coded it to ignore any stored data anywhere each time the app is installed, then you can't force it to read anything, regardless of where you might restore it to. But, again, only the developer of the app can tell you what will happen in these circumstances.
Cheers!

App World Errors

Hello!
I'm not English, but I can't find any solutions for this problem in other sites. So, certainly I will do a lot of mistakes, but don't worry about it.
Anyway, I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520 that can't connect to the App World and I don't know why (just two or three weeks ago it worked perfectly).
In fact, when I try to connect the telephone to the App World, it says (I'm trying to translate from Italian):
"It's impossible to set a connection with Blackberry App World. Check that the device is connected to the wireless network and try again"
This is the first message that appeared. But after three or four days the message changed in:
"BlackBerry App World is finding some connection problems to BlackBerry's servers. Check the network connection and try again"
I don't know if there are big differences from the first to the second message, but I just wrote it.
If I go in "Connection Manager" and then in Wi-If options, it says that I'm connected (in fact I can surf the NET with the browser without problems), but the Wi-if icon is grey/matt.
Moreover I have another problem:
My school offers a free Wi-If connection, but when I try to connect to it, the device says:
"Impossible to get an IP address."
So, I hope that here I will find solutions!
If I have a bad English and you can't understand what I wrote: say It to me and I'll try to explain better.
Bye!

Hello !
Well once you are in My World Option you can click on Upgrades for upgrading the pre existing app.
Or else when you are on the home screen of App world just click on the app which ever you prefer, keeping your device connected to your Laptop/Desktop.
Once you click on any of the app, it will automatically help you to install the app.
Hope this resolves your Problem!
If your problem has been resolved then would request you to Click on "Like" and accept as "Solution" so that other Advisors doesnt invest there time on this Message anymore.

Hi there. Same problem, my app world gets stuck on the screen with the circle. Have restarted, taken out battery and sim, no change
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is most likely due to a app update issue. The BB Music workaround should fix thhe problem.
Go to BB Music. Tap the three dots and selet blackberry world. Go to My World and them My Apps and Check for updates. Post this, the app world should function normally.

BlackBerry Traffic - no download option in App World?

Hello,
I had to delete BlackBerry Traffic from my Bold 9900 the other day but when I tried to reinstall it, the app was not found in my "uninstalled" list. When I try to do a search for the app in App World, I can see the app but there's no "download" button.
Any idea what's wrong??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just figured it out!
I had to clear the App World cache file as per KB24714. Once I cleared the file, I was able to download BlackBerry Traffic.
