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.

My playbook wont show any wifi after a system update
I did a system update, afterward it didn't connect to any wifi network. I did a reset but still saying connect to wi-fi select a network and no network shows up. any suggestion?
if you want to reset to factory then follow this.
First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

My contacts will NOT show any dispaly pics and it will NOT show that anyone has changed their pictures in my recent updates. Before it was working. Now it is not.It's just slow servers and syncing of those contact pictures.

Mac and logic wont show me logic 10 update
Can't find the update for logic 10, its not in the app store. I have a full, paid for version of logic. please help
Make sure you are logging into the App Store with the same user ID you used when originally buying Logic X from the app store.
Also, make sure you have not moved and/or re-named the Logic app that is in you Applications folder. -
My blackberry playbook wont come on at all!
it had loads of charge on it, and it had loads of space (storage) left, but when I press the power button it does'nt do anything! when I plug it into my laptop it comes up with a red light, which lasts for a couple of seconds before a green light comes on and starts flashing and then there is no light! does anyone know what to do?!
thank youRed followed by five green/yellow says battery too flat to boot.
Therefore it does NOT have loads of charge despite what you thought.
Try the charger for 24 hours. Hold power button down 20 seconds if it tries to boot.
If that fails you need to look at the hundreds of similar posts, look at the various remedies, but mainly think about a rapid charger that uses the three pin socket. It could also be a bad battery or motherboard but a damaged micro-usb socket is the most likely.

Obviously not too smart with all this technology. I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook. However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in. It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected! I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now? Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation? Please help!

Trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. It says I need OS6. Is that a free update or do I have to buy a whole new operating system? Just want to download some music to the playbook. Also, is it possible to use a iTunes card directly to the playbook and bypass the Mac? Thanks for any info you can provide.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

i have a 4.2.1 i pod touch and it says i need a 4.3 ios version and it wont show any signs of software update underneath the 'about' area i dont know how to change this
It is likely you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
i have just updated itunes now it wont show my device to sync to in corner and all the media (mucic, movies) have red text instead of being normal .. whats going on freaking out???
Since iOS 5 has not been released yet, it's interesting you say you've already downloaded it. Trash the file you downloaded and wait for the official release. It will probably drop around 10:00 California time.

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
