Bridge Browser and WiFi Browser Issues???

Hey everyone,
I've had my Playbook since day one and I have been having issues that I can't seem to get resolved involving the Brdige Browser and WiFi browser.
On the Bridge Browser I can't browse to any webpages. I simply get a non-descript "Not Authorized HTTP://whatevertheurlwas.com" error message. Ive tried dozens of pages, reset the bridge, to no avail.
The other issue is with the WiFi browser. When I try to login to an Exchange 2010 OWA webmail site, I can't click certain check boxes (they arent grayed out, the clcik just wont function). Also - when I try and navigate to a SharePoint 2010 site I get an "Error - A network error has occured" message. It is accessible fine via an iPad, laptop, and desktop computer but not from the Playbook browser.
Any ideas??

I spent about 3 hours with Support on this last night.
Explanation makes sense...could not verify it yet.
Bridge Browser by default uses "Blackberry Browser" to surf the net. If this option is disabled by BES Admin (assumption here is that you are on BES), you will not be able to surf the net. If you have BIS services also, your Blackberry handset (assumption here is that you are on OS v6) tries to open a site through "Blackberry Browser" and then defaults through "Internet Browser"...which is why you are probably surf the net through your handset without any issues.
To verify this, install OS v5 and that gives you the option of picking the browser for your handset. If you get the same message after selecting "BLackberry Browser" on your phone...the above explanation can be confirmed. I am going to try it on my older Blackberry handset with OS v5 over the weekend.
Solution if the above explanation is verified:
Running the web browser in work mode
If the Allow Browser IT policy rule is set to Yes and you configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service to connect a BlackBerry smartphone to the Internet and intranet, a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet that is connected to the smartphone can run the web browser in work mode.
When the web browser runs in work mode, it does not use the Wi-Fi® connection that it uses when it runs in personal mode. Instead, the web browser can connect to the Internet or your organization's intranet using the smartphone's connection to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. The tablet encrypts any cached data that is stored on the tablet using the BlackBerry® Bridge™ work key.
A BlackBerry PlayBook tablet user can access the web browser in work mode by clicking the browser icon in the BlackBerry Bridge panel on the tablet, or by clicking on a link in a work application. When a user clicks a link in any work application, such as a link in work email messages, work calendar entries, the contact list, tasks, memos, or BlackBerry® Messenger messages, the web browser runs in work mode if any of the following conditions exist:•
No Wi-Fi connection is available•
Web address does not contain periods•
MDS Browser Domains IT policy rule includes the domain of the web address•
Web address consists of a private IP address as specified in RFC 1918•
Value of the Wi-Fi Internet Access Path IT policy rule is set to "Access through BlackBerry MDS Connection Service"
If these conditions do not exist, the web browser runs in personal mode and connects to the Internet using a Wi-Fi connection.
The web browser cannot run in work mode if it cannot access the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.

Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Ipod Touch 5 random restart and wifi connectivity issues

Good day to you sir...
My Ipod Touch 5G 32gb model white has issues towards random restart and wifi unstable even though I have full bars and a working wifi internet connectivity
Here are details that might help on my case..
I bought the Itouch 5 on singapore exactly around January 2013 registered on January 1 on Apple web for warranty.
Around early Feb, i experienced some random restart and I tought it was just some bug after update, it was gone and came back around late march with some wifi issues, but not regularly, only around certain cases on using it for a long period of time. I am still experiencing it now.
The device never experienced drops,dents, nor water damage.. it is protected by an Ozaki case and screen protector bought in a Mac store. Never been Jailbraked. I used it for music, videos and gaming purpose. I have 3 idevice other than the Itouch (iPad 2, Ipad w/ retina display and Ipad Mini with no occuring problems both updated to ios 6.1.3 (so is the itouch). I would like to know what course of action should I take about this problem. I have restored the Ipod Touch 5G via iTunes but the problem still occuring both wifi and random restart. I bought the device on a legit mac authorized dealer. (Power Mac i think) in Singapore, but I live in General Santos City, Philippines. I would gretly appreciate if you give me exact details what course of action should i take.
P.S. my Ipod Touch 5 is running on iOS 6.1.3..

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Flash player crashes my browser and WiFi connection!

Earlier this month, I had to perform a factory reset of my Dell laptop--erase the hard drive, reinstall the original Windows 8 OS, then re-update to Windows 8.1 and reinstall ALL my apps--because of a malware infection. The computer would go to the BSOD ("blue screen of death") shortly after booting up. The last thing I remember doing before this started? Installing an update to Adobe Flash Player! Even before this virus hit me, I was experiencing problems with my WiFi connection. Webpages would suddenly stop loading, and it would only work again after I reset my connection, even though the router was in the next room. I noticed (curiously enough) that I didn't seem to have this problem after I did the factory reset and reinstalled every app except for Adobe Flash. The WiFi connection worked perfectly. Then, on April 17, I visited a website (ESPN, I think), that needed Adobe Flash to play video. So, with a good deal of trepidation, I went ahead and reinstalled Flash. From that point on, I started having the same WiFi problem as before, only WORSE. As soon as I started to stream video (and even sometimes audio), not only would the video stream suddenly stop playing or buffering, but I couldn't even refresh the page because my WiFi connection had to be reset! So tonight, I uninstalled Flash Player, and voila, everything seems to be working perfectly again. From my experience, Flash Player is buggy, untrustworthy, and incompatible with the other software on my machine. I'll be shopping soon for a competitor!

Some more info: My computer is a 64-bit Dell Inspiron 15 with a dual-core i3 processor; my favorite browser is Firefox, and I think I was running Flash 11.1 (it was a 32-bit Flash Player, so it might be I just need a 64-bit player, if that's available). Let me know what you think...

Two issues: Mail dotcom is now telling me to enable java in my browser and firefox has issues w/duckduckgo search engine. I am not allowed 2 instal DDG n search

2 issues: After a windows update on 5 10 2012, maildotcom says I need to enable java in my browser, when as far as I can tell, it is.
Second issue is, I am not able to add duckduckgo as my preferred search engine. I get a pop up in search tool add-ons that says "sorry, you need a Mozilla based browser to install a search plug in."
Why and how can these irritations be fixed?

Yoga 2 Pro: Sound, Browser and Wifi Fixes

These are the fixes I have came across the last couple months. Hope these are helpful.
Sound, when plugging in headphones or HDMI connecton the sound will go out sometimes.
FIX: Press Mute, then mute again(turning the sound back on). Works fine after.
Browser, I don't have this one licked yet but this is my work around. I would love input if anyone has a better alterative. In Chrome touchpad scrolling is impossible for me to use. It will scroll 10% down the page and stop then start zooming the page in and out. But the touchscreen does work fine. I prefer the touchpad in most cases, so this is what i have done. I do miss the extentions in Chrome.
FIX: Use Firefox. Not a perfect fix but I am happy. The loading times when going back to pages is alot faster and touchpad scrolling def works.
Wfif, works fine most the time. As of the last 2 weeks, twice the wifi went to a "limit connection".
FIX: Windows "Troubleshooot Problems" on the Wifi icon. It like restarts the wireless connection and works fine.

1. This is a Windows 8/realtek feature. If I am listening to iTunes first and then play a youtube video, it will assume that since iTunes has been playing longer, it must be more important. As a result, it plays the youtube video at a lower. Even if you pause iTunes, Windows will be hooked to the iTunes player for a few min before it realizes the change in audio states and increases the youtube video.
Try: Control Panel > Sound > "Communications" tab > "Do nothing".
2. Sounds like a Windows problem too.
3. Have you tried disabling adaptive brightness (it must be disabled in 3 different locations, to properly be disabled).
4. Try disabling/uninstalling DPTF

Preview in Browser and Adobe Browser Lab show website differently? Please help

Hi...working on my first website and I have a question about the differences in viewing the site through
choosing file...preview in browser....
from within Dreamweaver, and using the Adobe Browser Lab to view the website.
There seems to be a very significant difference between the two. When I preview firefox from within dreamweaver, my site is just how I want it.
When I go to browser lab, it is...well... a disaster.
I'm attaching screenshots of the two as well as my code, so it can show how different they are. Here is a screenshot of the website as it looks when I use the preview in browser function from within dreamweaver to view it in firefox. This is how I'd like it to look.
And here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview it in Adobe Browser Lab in Firefox.
The quote is underneath the logo, the left div text is flowing over the center div, the nav bar graphics are too narrow, the photo is hanging outside the div it should be contained in. Not what I want.
Does anyone have any insight into how I would fix this or which version is correct?
I'm stumped. This is my first website: shouldn't these two things be similar? And which one is correct?
and here is my code:

Thanks for your help.

You are using % widths for your layout which means it will look different depending of the size of each users monitor. Although this is probably the better way to go these days, it is not one size fits all and will work more effectively if you include min and max widths, and also media queries that change your layout depending on the monitor size. This is more advanced coding and will take time if you want to do that. Alternatively, you could design using pixel widths and have it look consistent across all desktop browsers and throw a few media queries in for the mobile side.

How to set default file browser and web browser

I am using openbox as the window manager and don't have a desktop environment.
My file browser is pcmam file manager and my web browser is chromium.
I add
export BROWSER=/usr/bin/pcmanfm
in .bashrc so that the system uses pcman file manager to open a local file from an external application. But it will also uses pcman file manager to open a url. I want the url opened in chromium, but chromium doesn't let me set the default web browser (as the picture shows blow).:(
What shall deal with it?
Thank you.

ashesxera: Thanks for the pointers!
After some hours of persistent puzzling I finally figured out how to make Thunderbird/Lanikai open URIs in Chromium instead of Firefox in the XFCE desktop environment.
In fact I found two solutions that both work.
1) The straightforward solution: make some changes to Thunderbird/Lanikai's prefs.js
Add two string variables:
string: network.protocol-handler.app.ftp; value: exo-open
string: network.protocol-handler.app.http; value: exo-open
string: network.protocol-handler.app.https; value: exo-open
and importantly: change the values of the Boolean variables network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to 'true'.
It turns out that for some unclear reason the standard Arch Linux Thunderbird/Lanikai package uses gnome-open to open URLs. The persistent popping up of Firefox was caused by some settings in .gconf that come with the gconfd package. I didn't find these values in gconf-editor.
2) Change xml files in .gconf
As I don't want to use Firefox as standard browser any longer, I wanted to get rid of these hidden settings in .gconfd so that "gnome-open [URI]" opens a webpage in Chromium.
I succeeded in getting there by replacing firefox with chromium in the following files:
.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/browser/%gconf.xml
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/chrome/%gconf.xml
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp/%gconf.xml
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/%gconf.xml
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers//%gconf.xml

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

When I download Adobe Reader it takes over my Internet Explorer Browser and other browsers.

When I download Adobe Reader on my Windows 7, it takes over my Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser and any browser I use. Is there anyway to correct this problem without re-installing Windows 7 on my computer?

Bridge for Mac 2.0 issues? xperia play

I updated bridge for mac to 2.0 but it can not find my phone if in media transfer mode. it will find it in mass storage mode, and offers to update software. it then instructs me to disconnect and switch to media transfer mode. i do this, reconnect, but will not find phone. suggestions?
i have tried reboot phone, computer, bridge etc etc.

Hi,
This is really odd. I'm trying the Play right now and it's connecting and working fine in MTP mode.
Don't you get any error messages or anything, it simply ignores the phone? Do you know which Mac OS version you are using?
I'm somewhat out of ideas on this one since you have tried all the obvious, but here are a few:
- Make sure you have an SD Card inserted in the phone (but I guess you do since I don't think MSC would work otherwise)
- Android File Transfer can sometimes conflict with SE phones. In case you have AFT installed, make sure it doesn't autostart when the phone is connected
- iPhoto could previously conflict with Bridge as well (although that should have been sorted with the 2.0 release). Make sure that iPhoto doesn't autostart when the phone is connected.
- There are some black magic stuff that has worked before if the MTP connection on the phone is the problem, including removing and readding the SD Card or go to the Media browser and simply browse through some music just before you connect.
Also note that, if you're only interested in the update, you can always try the File->Restore... option where you can manually select which phone you have and follow the instructions to update but ***please note that this will probably erase all content on your phone ***

Internet Browser or Hotspot Browser as Default?

I have an 8530 that has both Internet Browser and Hotspot Browser available for use. Which one should I set as the default?
I have wi-fi available at home and I sometime use wi-fi elsewhere. Most often, however, I am not at a wi-fi available location.
If I set the default at Internet Browser will it automatically use the wi-fi when wi-fi service is available, or do I need to switch to the Hotspot Browser each time I want to access the internet via the wi-fi?
Thanks. Phil

Hi Phil.
From what you've said, i guess its personal taste really. you may need to check with your carrier/provider if there would be data charges for browsing using the internet browser. Wi Fi/hotspot is to connect to the internet via a different means. Still does the same thing. I personally use internet browser. The wi fi connection isnt that good where im at and theres no real hotspot areas near me.
Setting your default browser to internet browser should mean you connect that way. You could always disable your wi fi connection so it wouldnt interfere. wi fi / hotspot was mainly done for people with laptops [i believe] so they could still connect to the internet whilst out and about. The hotspots just mean theres a good signal in that area. wi fi is just the connection used. That texhnology has now moved into mobile phones.
I think you can set your phone to tell you when youe near a wi fi/hotspot area, but not too sure. Or it tells you when the connection requires a login or not. Not too sure actually coz i dont use wi fi.
Forgive me if anything isnt 100% correct, but thats my personal thoughts on this matter and as long as your provider doest charge you for using internet browser then theres no reason why you shouldnt just use that.

IPhone 4, iOS 6 update, and wifi - cannot browse WWW via DNS

Apologies for the long post in advance. Hopefully it's exhaustive enough for Apple to take notice.
tl;dr:
updated iPhone 4 (VZW) to iOS 6 on home wi-fi. now phone will not browse to WWW on home wi-fi, EXCEPT WHEN BYPASSING DNS (ie, browsing by IP address). tried lots. no success
full events detail:
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 yesterday evening (via iTunes on my Win 7 x64 PC). Upon completion, I ran into some trouble trying to sign in with my AppleID in order to restore from my iCloud backup. Suspecting that Apple's servers were just experiencing trouble (though nothing indicated iCloud was down), I skipped signing in and went about my day. The rest of my settings copied across from my computer. At that point, I slept on it.
The following morning (today), I noticed that I still could not sign in, but was off to work and did not have time to examine it further. At the office, all seemed well, and I used the phone with the updated OS largely without issue, including connecting to two new wifi networks. Returning home, however, I noticed that the behavior was the same as the previous evening, ie I could not connect to things like the App Store in order to install updates, the web to look for information, etc. Now having time to troubleshoot, I pressed forward with the investigation and immediately found a number of support community and web threads detailing wi-fi issues on devices after updating to iOS 6. I followed the steps I found, but I still have the same issue. Below is the list of things I've attempted, to the best of my ability to recollect.
1. forget network, rejoin - same symptoms
2. power off phone, power on - same symptoms
3. set wi-fi network HTTP proxy to Auto - same symptoms
3. forget network, power off wi-fi, power off cellular data, power on wi-fi, rejoin network (same symptoms), power on cellular data (same symptoms)
4. power off bluetooth (already done, no change), power on bluetooth - same symptoms
5. forget network, airplane mode on, power on wi-fi, rejoin network - same symptoms
6. clear cookies, cache, website data - same symptoms
7. try another browser (Opera) - same symptoms
8. try static IP on wi-fi network - same symptoms
9. forget network, power off router, turn off wi-fi, power off phone, power on phone, reset network settings, power on wi-fi, power on router (after 5+ mins), rejoin - same symptoms
10. restore phone to factory defaults (same symptoms) and restore from backup (same symptoms)
11. enable SSID broadcast on router - same symptoms
12. enable WMM on 802.1n router - already enabled, same symptoms
13. disable 40MHz channels on 802.1n router - same symptoms
14. set router to 802.1g operation - same symptoms
15. remove wireless security from wi-fi network - same symptoms
16. change SSID - same symptoms
17. update router firmware - no updates available, also, same router was working prior to update and continues to work without trouble with all other wi-fi devices in the house
18. try another router - already verified this works, but as a result of the particulars of this case, is not relevant as my home router is not at fault, so much as the update to iOS 6 is on my iPhone 4. as other routers work and as a factory restore did not resolve (prior to backup restoration), I also do not believe my iPhone 4 to be at fault, so much as the software update itself
Having exhausted all of those suggestions, I dug further. The phone was working without issue up until the moment it needed to reboot to apply the downloaded iOS 6 update. I initially encountered the incorrect password scenario during the post-update configuration, but after forgetting and setting up the wireless profile from scratch (from the iOS 6 setup wizard), it joined my wi-fi network. The phone DID pull an IP address from my router, and responded to pings from other devices on my network without issue. In addition, using the Safari browser to web to a local network device, such as my router, was successful, indicating that the wi-fi network was established and routing appropriately. All other devices on the network, wired or otherwise, were working without issue. I then attempted to trace traffic and found that none of my phone's web requests were reaching my router, except for those targeted at the LAN. I then tried browsing to an IP to ensure there was not a DNS issue, and my phone browsed successfully. I then tried another site by domain name and failed, and then its IP and was successful. I verified against my router's logs that the web requests were routing through it to ensure that my cellular data wasn't taking over, and the logs confirmed it. At that point, I tried changing DNS from my standard servers to another set, but the behavior remained the same. I then tried setting my router as the DNS server, but the issue remained.
In conclusion, it appears to be some sort of DNS issue specific to the update. I would also hazard a guess that this is impacting people on the networks where they downloaded the update and/or were connected when the phone actually updated. I've tried setting the profile to use local, ISP, and public DNS servers, but as the requests never reach my router, I am inclined to believe it's being restricted by a setting on the phone itself. Because the problem persists through a factory restore, it would seem to point to all data not being truly erased during that process. Recall that I'm having the same issue prior to a backup being restored to the device, and that this issue prevents iCloud from being accessed during the setup process while on the problematic wi-fi network, so that should rule out the backup playing any part in the trouble.
Any thoughts?

The OP is correct, I have done many tests. With IOS6 there appears to be a dns issue in some cases with IOS for both ipad(2) at lease (my wife won't let me upgrade here v1) and the iPhone4s in my case. Pretty easy to diagonse, I wish Apple would fix it.
1.) I use a Juniper 5GT wireless firewall and all of my other devices (many apple, ipad, MBP, iMAC,3 ipods etc) are fine: Not ipad2 or iphone4s running IOS6
2.) after upgrade nothing worked. narrowed it down by messing with dns (I have my own dns server)
3.) Strange thing; dns works over MiFI (Verizon) and Carrier
4.) confirmed that it is a dns and not network issue.
-down load free tool called ping-scope-lite. (obviously you need to turn off wifi to do this)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-scope-lite/id431500107?mt=8
turn on wifi
- ping Level3 dns server 4.2.2.2 or Googlesdns servers 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 these worked.
-now ping by name google.com or ipchicken.com
- try others; same result.
Apple did say that they would give me another iphone 4s: I just wasn't sure that would fix my issue. I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but I got an error saying my device wasn't able to do so (tried even blocking itunes from contacting Apple) I whis this could be fixed. I did even have it working using my own dns server but now I can see that my phone over wifi isn't even trying to make a dns request now.
Stuck

No copy & paster between Playbook Browser and Bridge Email?!

Can anyone confirm the problem I see and maybe know whether RIM is working on it?
Quite often I need to paste text portions out of a website and include it in an email and send it.
In this case I copied the web adress in the PB browser and tried to paste it into the Bridged Email App.
No success, there is no paste option available. Pasting to a native PB app works!
This is a huge drawback and I am sure many other will discover this problem, sooner or later.
Is the adressed to RIM?

Bridge related issue related to language configuration of the PlayBook was solved by the following steps,
1.Unpair your devices;
2.Change language to default English;
3. reboot PlayBook;
4.Pair the devices and bridge;
5.Change the language of the PlayBook to your prefered one.
Hope that solves your issue.
