Blackberry tour 9630 wont let me do anything!

So I unlocked my tour for AT&T last night and I have no Blackberry App world or whatever its called and no browser, I can't even use Blackberry email. I tried to put Opera mini on my Blackberry but it wont install. I called AT&T support and they don't know what's wrong So someone please help me!

texjgc,
It sounds as if someone has given you a UPTF version (Use Pen Tool First).
Or, you may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps:
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options;
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6, and reinstall.

Blackberry Playbook Wont show OS 2.0 Update

Hey you all,
I'm new on the this forum.
Srry for the lack of english its not my native language.
Currently I got my new Blackberry Playbook, os version 1.0.5.2342.
When I want to update to os 2.0 it just isn't showing it.
That is if I go to the Gear like icon in the top right of the playbook --> software update --> and than Check for Updates.
Its says: You currently have the latest sofware installed.
What could be the problem for this?
I've tryed to reseting the playbook to its original factory settings, but this just deleted all my apps and only shows Browser and Setup.
I also live in Holland but that shouldnt matter or should it?
Hope someone can help.
Greeting,
Oliver

Try this
1. Open PB Desktop Manager
2. Connect PB to PC
3. Once connection is established go to "Help" should show no updates
4. Hard restart PB pressing power button and select "restart"
5. Once restart has begun Desktop Manager will display a popup window "option to Update" select update
6. This will take a long time approximate 15-20 minutes while the Original OS is downloading from RIM server
7. Follow on screen instruction at end
The original factory install will have been restored (all images, videos original games etc) . You need to re-initialize the PB from the start, just as if you just got it home from your store purchase.

Latest blackberry playbook update installed an app that is not listed in My World

The newest update for the blackberry playbook was prompted to be installed.
I updated my playbook.
It powered off and restarted.
Now there is an app called Zinio listed on my 'desktop'.
I did not install this app. EVER.
So i figured i could 'uninstall' the app by going to 'my world' under the apps icon.
But it is NOT listed in My Apps.
How do i remove? Why is it there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

it is a OS feature app, if you dont want it, press on teh icon for a few seconds till it pulses, then click on delete aka trashcan to remove it

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Error 1723 - Long time loyal Blackberry TOUR user - cannot install recent desktop manager

I cannot install the latest desktop manager on Windows 7. I have used this phone for YEARS and also syncd fine. Now I am dead in the water. The latest install package needs TO BE FIXED. Well into the installation I get the following message:
"Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. ActionRepairRimUsbDriverNT.07D232B6_7904_4970_8B22_8F…"
I have resisted the urge to "upgrade" to the popular newer smart phones from other companies, but I will have to leave Blackberry forever if this problem is not fixable (fixed) within the next few days.
Please help.

Select your Blackberry Model - Your Service Provider.- Verify the Blackberry Desktop Software, which displays and download the latest related to your model.... Those are specifically suitable for your blackberry model... Hope this help..
Actually, not quite...the issue for the OP was the Desktop Software, the link you provided is for Device Software. Indeed, the full portal for Device Software is thus:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html
There is only one version of Desktop Software, while there are hundreds of versions of Device Software. The Desktop Software, installed to the PC first, followed by installation to the PC of the specific Device Software, is the best way to ensure proper functionality between the PC and the device. However, as with all technology, there is no 100% guarantee.
Good luck!

Issues with Blackberry Playbook not being recognised by Windows Explorer

Hello, I'm new to the forums but am having the same problems as many others are, that being my Playbook not regonised by Windows Explorer. I have tried all of the solutions I have read like unistalling Desktop Manager, uninstalling then re-installing drives in Windows Device Manager. But one I recently stumbled across was uninstalling Blackberry Device Manager, how do I do this?
Also the main problem appears to be that my Playbook will not sync anything with my computer. In Desktop Manager I can back-up my Playbook, but not sync anything. After re-installing a drive I now get the message of: 'Your Blackberry device is not compatible with this feature' whereas before I got the message of: 'You haven't configured any sync methods' but yet all of the sync options were greyed out.
How do I get Windows Explorer to recognise my Playbook as a drive and how can I sync in Desktop Manager?
Thanks in advance!
Note: I'm using Windows 7 32-Bit

BlackBerry PlayBook wil not switch on

I can't get my BlackBerry PlayBook to switch on properly. I read a message on the forum which is a few years old:"If you unplug the mains charger, re-insert the charger until the red light goes out for a approx 10-15 times, then when you hold the power on button for approx 15 seconds you get the dead battery symbol, leave the charger inserted, then you get a flashing green-ish LED light, after approx 1-2hrs, it will switch on!!" My PlayBook is coming on to the stage where the BlackBerry PlayBook words are on the screen as shown in the attached picture. I am not getting a red light going out when I unplug the mains charger and re-inserting it. Please help.

You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
1. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
2. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
Very quickly choose the Update option. If not, press and hold the power button for 20 secs.
3. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
4. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from a previous backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

My Playbook is stuck on the Blackberry Playbook Start up Page! And won't reset!

Hi All,
i need help for my playbook.
At first my battery wasn't holding any charge , i had lost the charger that came with it. Someone told me to buy the
rapid charger which i did.
I tried all the reset tricks Vol- Vol+ and Power for 15seconds - 20 seconds everything that you may read on the net.
I plugged it on the Rapid Charger and now all it showing is the Blackberry Playbook sign on the screen. If i remove it it just shuts down. When i plug it back in it restarts and shows the the battery icon with the connection and then starts and stalls at that same Blackberry Playbook sign.
PLEASE HELP ME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON PLS.
Thanks a bunch

Have you connected your playbook to a desktop computer?
My understanding is if you have a computer with Blackberry Desktop installed, You can connect the Playbook and reload the OS

A total beginner with Blackberry Playbook

Hello
Someone got me a Blackberry Playbook, I certainly accepted the gift even though I wasn't sure what one of these was!
However since i got it, I am struggling to connect to wifi?> How can i fix this problem?. I have phoned up the support line which isnt much use,
I cant get past the connecting to wifi screen?
Without me sounding stupid.
Do you need to have this playbook plugged in at home near a computer?. Or is it portable? For example, can i take this round with me anywhere i go?
Or do i need to be near a wifi connection, totally confused havent got a clue whats going on
If anyone can help me (and boy i need help )> that would be great
If someone could also tell me how the playbook works what it does? i really dont have a clue!

Greetings and welcome to the community support forums!
Here are some links to help you setup and use your Playbook and learn more about it.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/tablets/playbook/get-started.html
That will help you connect to WiFi.
You don't need to be connected to a PC to use the Playbook, but if you need to be connected to the internet, you will need a Wifi connection, unless your model is a 4g model which connects over the air though a SIM card to your mobile network.
After reviewing the link above, come back and feel free to ask specific questions!
