Blackberry Bridge application and lock

I am asking this question because I cannot find an answer. What is the lock button for on my playbook when you press the bridge icon at the top of the screen.
Thanks
Albert

As explained in the Playbook Help section this will "lock your BlackBerry Bridge to prevent access to your BlackBerry smartogone data. Your smartohine password is required to unlock BlackBerry Bridge."

Blackberry bridge folder and all icons can no longer be found

I have my blackberry connected to my 9780 thru BB Bridge. The Bridge folder and its icons can not be found, however.
I know that I'm connected (the number of bridge messages are showing up in the upper left corner of the screen, but no icons. Remote control works. Right after the upgrade to 2.0, the folder and icons were present. They have disappeared. How do I restore them?

Go to Solution.

If you can get access to another BB phone, try bridging with the other phone. I have two BB phones. Whenever I switch between phones, the Bridge folder moves to the upper left corner of the first tab. Kind of annoying for me because it means I cannot move the folder to the dock. But it may restore the Bridge folder and icons if they disappeared on you.

Q5 with Blackberry bridge

I have just upgraded from a 9360 to a Q5. I also have the tablet. While my 9360 shared my calendar and other things with the tablet the Q5 only shares bbm and texts. What have I done wrong?

Hello campocath,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Are you able to see the BlackBerry Bridge application icon on your device home screen? If not, have you checked to see if it is hidden? You can press the menu button and select show all to unhide it. If you are able to locate it, try moving the BlackBerry Bridge application icon to the applications folder. Use this link http://blck.by/1g0TgHg to see instructions on page 197 on how to move application icons to a folder.
Let us know if that helps.
Thank you

Blackberry Curve 8520 problems with Blackberry Bridge

Hi All Please help me!!!
I have a curve 8520 details & spec below. I have owned a Blackberry Playbook since Feb this year. Originally when I installed the Blackberry Bridge to my curve I managed to pair the 2 devices and I happily used this for a few months. I think an update came on my phone in App World and one day a couple of months ago I simply couldn't pair the devices. I did the usual un-install and re-install of all necessary applications but to no avail. I have searched forum after forum to try and find out what is wrong. I can see the application on my curve from Appworld and from options/applications/Ad-ons. However is is not visible on the phone in downloads or applications. I have un-installed and re installed numerous times.
Phone details
BlackBerry® 8520 Smartphone (EDGE, Wi-Fi) v5.0.0.681 (Platform 5.2.0.67)
Cryptographic Kernel v3.8.5.85
Branding Version: 1.0.91.694K
Micro Edition Configuration: CLDC-1.1
Micro Edition Profile: MIDP-2.1
Micro Edition JTWI Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Media Version: 1.1
Micro Edition PIM Version: 1.0
Micro Edition File Version: 1.0
Micro Edition Bluetooth Version: 1.1
Micro Edition Location Version: 1.0.1
Micro Edition Security and Trust Services (APDU) Version: 1.0
WLAN Version: 3.0.0.113
Blackberry Bridge Version 2.1.0.31
I am hoping someone has a simple explanation!
Look forward to hearing from someone out there!

Problem accessing files via Blackberry Bridge

Not sure if anyone is having this issue....I've got the blackberry bridge installed, and I can access my messages, contacts, etc. However if I go into the Bridge Files menu, I am unable to open anything. I tap it and it just does nothing. If I go into the sheet to go app on the Playbook, I am able to access my files off my blackberry, however every single one opens up read only (which kinda defeats the purpose)
Any ideas? Is there a setting I am missing?

Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resources window then I have to refresh the internet search address line at the top of Safari. Can someone tell me how to stop this. It started after a software upgrade. It didn’t do that before. Thank you.

A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

Janetc72338130 what happens if you try to reinstall Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, and Acrobat? What version of Acrobat are you installing?

Bluetooth, Blackberry bridge and Playbook not linking to Q10

Please.....
After checking settings and browsing the Internet for possible problems or fixes, I'm having frustrating problems in linking my phone and playbook when they worked fine before a few wks back, does anyone know if this has been a recent problem or if this has been resolved, it does seem a waste of my 64gb playbook if I can no longer use Blackberry bridge (link from Q10 still doesn't do what it is meant to do as it did with me 9800) or bluetooth link up? Please i'm going spare here trying to fix or search for updates that always say 'unavailable for this device', starting to regret getting my new Q10 that i've had for 3mths where bridge doesn't work, bluetooth doesn't get connected properly and useful apps are not available for new Q10 device, my playbook worked wonders with my 9800!
CTEvans

Your Playbook will never work with the Q10 like it did with with your 9800. That's just the way it is.
I would try disconnecting both devices, unpair them, and then reboot both devices and reconnect using the Bridge app. Once they do connect about all you can do access the Internet on the Playbook using your Q10.

Blackberry bridge and curve 9220

I am trying to set up the blackberry bridge on my curve 9220. However, when I click on the download, I get the message that;
"Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry Bridge"
ANy suggestions? Is it something my company may have disabled? The blackberry is a firm issued one. Or is it my network service provider?
Thanks

Playbook locks up when using Blackberry Bridge

Playbook OS:
1.0.7.2670 Build 52084
Blackberry Torch 9800:
6.0 Bundle 2647
Blackberry Bridge 1.0.4.9
I have an issue where my Playbook will freeze when I enable (connect) via Blackberry Bridge. It will initially connect with no problems, but the moment I try to respond to an email from my Playbook, the Messages application will stop responding then all the applictions in the Blackberry Bridge section will not respond, then the Playbook will stop responding alltogether. I figured upgrading to the new build of Blackberry Bridge on my Torch as well as the recent OS upgrade on my Playbook would have helped, but no dice... Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

yes, I assume there is a small partition that has the OS from the factory, but as soon as you setup the WiFi, it automatically upgrades to the latest OS.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it wiped the OS. The only knock is having to go through the initial "training" process but otherwise pretty painless.

My iphone 4 is locked on one application and will not close or turn off my phone please help!

my iphone 4 is locked on one application and will not close or turn off my phone please help!

If you mean that the iphone froze in some random app you have ....the solution is easy .
Press and hold both Home Button and On/OFF button for about 15 seconds . The device should turn off and on again .
If not than please wait until the battery goes out and try the above step again whilst device is off .
Hope it helps

Reinstall Blackberry Bridge

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
4. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
5. Return to AppWorld. Log into MyWorld (if applicable) and try again.
Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!
