Blackberry messenger 5.0.0.33 - options to send pics or file or voice note is not available

I updated the blackberry messenger from the pre-loaded version 4.7.1 to the latest version of 5.0.0.33. I was able to send pictures, voice note, and file during a chat session by clicking the trackball to bring up the menu and click "send voice note" or "send picture". This option is no longer there in the 5.0.0.33 even though the user manual indicate this function is there.
Anyone has the same problem? Where can I download the previous version (4.7.1 for tour) and how to re-install the previous version of the blackberry messenger?
Thanks for your help

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You have not updated to the current BBM version...you are on an old version. The current version is 5.0.0.57...
Good luck!

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Curve doesn't give option to send when trying to text a new person not in my contact list.

Before, I could "compose text message" and type in a new phone number. Now my 8920curve won't offer the "send" optoin. When I press the blackberry button for menu, it starts with"schedule conference", then "switch application" then "open" and many more "close" being the last. Where is the old menu offering to send?

THanks but, what enter button. That doesn't come up on the menu and there isn't an enter button I know of. There used to be a menu, after hitting the menu button offering send. Something has changed in my settings. How do I access the setting for texting?

HT5312 When I get to the part where I need to fill out the 2-3 security questions, the option to send the answers to an e-mail does not show up, and I can't figure out how to create a rescue e-mail address. Help?

This problem is starting to aggravate me, as I have over $40 in iTunes credit that I can't use, as every time I try to purchase something it asks me to answer my security questions, which I have forgotten the answers to and have no way of recovering them. It also states that it is my "first" time purchasing something, though I've had this account for a while. Please help.

You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering at least two of the questions.

HT5312 I have forgotten my security questions and now i cant download a book. I have tried going into apple id management and followed these instructions. The option to send it to my rescue email address is not there.how do i reset them?

I followed these instrcutions and it is very frsutrating seeing as I have to answer my security questions to reset them ? When i cannot remember them. I already scheduled a call with Apple. The closest time available was Friday but I wantto see if i can fix it beforethen.

i know how you feel. im about to just give up and call apple support. it will be a lot faster than sitting around. Im sorry i wasnt much help.

HT5312 Don't have an option to send security answers to secondary email

So frustrating - Don't have an option to send security answers to secondary email

If you do not have a rescue email address (different from alternate email address) set up on the account then you will not see the option.
You will need to contact iTunes Support online:
http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html (select Account Security as your help topic)
or by phone: Apple Support Numbers

URGENT HELP REQUIRED FOR BLACKBERRY MESSENGER ON CURVE 8320

Can anyone out there please help me. I have two invitations to join Blackberry Messenger that tells me where to go and download the software. When I try to download the 4.0 and 4.1 latest software, I get the error message that my phone is not able to do so.
I also tried to download via the Internet and Iget the same error message, can anyone help as I am in love with my smartphone and my wife is jealous that I give the phone more attention than she ever got.
Also can I type mails or send SMS through the Roxio desktop Interface? I do that easily with my Nokia PC Suite but it seems impossible with my BlackBerry.
Please help.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
There is no text option in Roxio media manager, it's sole function is to manage your media between PC and BB.
Do you have a data services Package with your carrier, as well as a text package?
Please let me know!
There is no group I know of for a Blackberry widows club....but somebody ought to start one, my wife would be the first to join

BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23 Fault

I have a BlackBerry 9360 (3G, Wi-Fi), 7.1 bundle 1717 (v7.1.0.569, Platform 9.6.0.86), BlackBerry Messenger version 7.0.1.23
The team originally had the version of BlackBerry OS 6 operating system, for months to upgrade to the latest available for the team that is the Blackberry OS 7.1.
Apparently the problem started when upgrading BlackBerry Messenger to the latest version (7.0.1.23), I installed it through the BlackBerry App World for my team.
The team has about 6 months of use working perfectly, until recently that within BlackBerry Messenger application does not update the profile picture. I tried everything to fix it, between this I:
1. Off and removed the battery long enough, the problem is solved partly because after the smart phone turns on the changing profile picture (but only sometimes), and when it does, it only once since before a second consecutive update the problem recurs, have to repeat the procedure.
2. I deleted and reinstalled the application without any success.
3. Reset the entire smart phone and reinstalled all applications again, without success.
4. I've used all sorts of different connections (including 3G, 2G, Wifi) and in all alike the same problem.
5. registered the BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network, and also sent the service books through the application of e-mail settings on your smartphone. (Without success)
I would like to help me find a solution without resorting to absurd solutions like:
1. delete all contacts and add them one by one again, since I have 300 contacts! and that's not humanly possible, also a risk that after adding back the problem recurring.
2. get the battery every time you want to change my profile picture, (I do not buy a phone to get the battery every time you change a simple photo)
3. nor reset the phone, update or delete the application because as I said I already did and did not solve the problem.
otherwise I can not back up my contacts and I have the latest version of MSN BB and this does not bring this option, since all contact data is automatically saved in the cloud of my ID.
*** At first I thought it was just a glitch in the profile picture, but then I realized that after pulling off the battery did not keep him to publishing the names of my contacts, and the contacts reappeared I had removed, ie there is a problem with the transmission of data from my device to my cloud data of my ID, ie these are not synchronized properly and changes made by me (as the profile picture and editing contacts) not saved, strangely I have no problem with sending messages from my contacts in BlackBerry Messenger, I can normally chat with them, nor do I have a problem with any other application or with the transmission and receipt of data from the device. ***
Aja?, Now tell me, I do?

Hi Fanfan514
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If you're having problem with recent update , you can try reinstalling it again cleanly , but first On your Homescreen Go to Options > Device Application Management > Locate and delete BlackBerry Messenger from there.

After deleting perform a battery pull restart by removing the Battery while is device is POWERED ON , wait a min. then re-insert it back . let your device takes a long reboot , finally from your BlackBerry Browser browse to www.blackberry.com/bbm and download the most recent version available for your device .After reinstalling see if that helps
Please Note :
If you're having BBM7 then your BBM Contacts are integrated with your BlackBerry ID , after installing when you login with your BlackBerry ID your Contacts will be restored back , but if you're having any previous persion then first do a local backup , you can backup in your Media card, refer to this KB for further help:

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.

Unable to open Blackberry Messenger Conversations

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

Can't find my BlackBerry Messenger icon

Hello,
I've had my BlackBerry Bold 9700 for more than 3 months
Lately, the icon's been getting stuck on my Main Screen
So, I always ended up uninstalling and reinstalling, and the problem would always get fixed
But last time I did that, my BlackBerry Messenger disappeared
I tried everything!
I looked through every single folder, ticked Show All, but nothing
I also went to Explore, showed hidden files, there was nothing
I tried rebooting, deleting and reinstalling, also nothing
I also went on Desktop Manager, checked the Application Loader, and it's there, it's ticked
I checked Options > Applications > Add-on, and I can see that the BlackBerry Messenger is installed (Research In Motion Limited, version 5.0.1.38)
My Device Software is updated, and when I check for updates, it says no updates available
I tried Security Wipe, but it's still not there
I tried to backup and restore as well, but nothing's changed
What am I missing?
Do I have to downgrade?
What else do I have to do?...

Problem solved.
Try this!
Don't delete your BlackBerry Messenger from Options > Applications
Even if you can't find it in your home screen, leave it as it is
Go to http://www.blackberry.com/messenger using your BlackBerry browser
Download and it'll ask you if you want to overwrite, so all you have to do is accept
Worked for me!
Hope this helps

Blackberry Messenger Problem

Hello...I have a friend who I have added to my contacts and when we try to massage...i can receive his massages but when i send him one he doesnt get it or doesnt see it...What should I do to fix it?

There is a difference if your friend does not see it or does not receive it.
Tell him that he should check the Messages-Application and if there are PIN-Messages from you. The BlackBerry Messenger is the application that handles the incoming/outgoing PINs.
Maybe he has blocked incoming PINs. Here is where he/you can check it:
Options -> Security Options -> Firewall
There you can then block:
#SMS
#MMS
#PIN
#BlackBerry Internet Service
