Bridge Browser thinks I am out of US"

I was testing the bridge browser on abc.com and recieved the message below. Has anyone seen this or similiar?
"You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories".
I am located in the US and wonder if it comes from my phone.

Bridge uses the settings of BlackBerry browser.
When using the BlackBerry browser, it can use a Canadian IP address with BIS or the server IP address of BES.

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.

Bridge Browser Missing

The Bridge application works well but the Bridge Browser Icon is missing. All the rest of the icons are there and work fine but I have no Bridge Browser Icon. Is it different from the regualr browser icon on the playbook? Do I need to activate something on the phone to get the browser to carry over to the playbook?

I don't think that's the issue. From what I've seen, there is no longer an icon for Bridge Browser but I noticed Bridge Browser now appears to be automatic. Turn off WiFi and tethering on your Playbook and try loading a page. It should think for a second and then load running from your BlackBerry connection through the Bridge, but it won't tell you it's doing it. I tried it this morning because I was thinking the same, that I had lost Bridge Browser but sure enough it worked.

Bridge Browser Problem

Hello Everybody
We are running BES 4.1 and MDS-CS is set to use a proxy.
On a handheld when you connect to the internet you are prompted to authenicate but when you try and use the bridge browser it seems to bypass the authentication and we just get a cache access denied message from the proxy server. I am the BES administrator and have tried various IT policy settings including assigning no policy. In the MDS-CS proxy setting I have tried adding a user name and password, this allowed the handheld to connect to the internet authenticated without prompting as expected, the bridge browser still gets the cache access denied because it is not authenticated.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi OscarVZ,
I used a Bold branded to your carrier with the same software on it as well as the PlayBook and was able to open several sites on the Bridge Browser (yahoo.com, google.com etc). I was not able to replicate this error.
I would suggest you contact your BES Admin. I actived my Bold on my BES and my IT Policy allowed me access to these sites. It sounds like a setting in your IT Policy that is preventing browsing external sites on the Bridge Browser.
Hope this helps and let me know what you find out.
Thanks

New files not showing up in Adobe Bridge browser

Since mid-October all new images added to "My Pictures" file refuse to show up the Adobe Bridge browser box. This is infuriating!! I've got Photoshop CS2 and run Windows XP prof. Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks, but My issue isn't with the thumbnails..... the new folders are totally missing from "My Pictures" folder, when viewed in Adobe Bridge. I can get around this by opening individual images in the program provided with my camera, and then stipulating I want to edit it in Photoshop... but what a time sucking pain!

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

LOST BRIDGE BROWSING WITH 2.1.0.32 UPDATE- NOW GET CARRIER WARNING NOT ALLOWED

has this happened to anyone else, my carrier is Cspire and as soon as i upgraded message comes not allowed. This has always been the best feature of the PlayBook. With this bridge update the carrier can detect bridge browsing.

Hey tbord,
This is by design as the native Browser provides the same functionality when bridged. The Bridge Browser is present when connected to a BlackBerry® smartphone associated with a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server in order to allow browsing corporate intra-nets.
Thanks.

Bridge CS5 thinks mpg files are audio-only

CS5 Production Premium.
But when I installed I wasn't sure this was going to be the "final home", so I decided to install as a trial with the intent to either move/reinstall later, or just plug in the serial number.
As a "trial", I quickly discovered that none of the apps recognized MPEG-2 files correctly. Yes, I failed to note that in the readme, but once I encounterer the problem I knew what was wrong.
Added the serial number, and as I restarted the various apps most of them noted the missing codecs and installed them for me. So now, all of the apps properly recognize .mpg files.
Except Bridge. No matter what I do, Bridge still thinks all the .mpg files are audio only. The main list shows the thumbnail as expected, but Preview thinks it's an audio file and only plays the audio.
This is not a critical thing, because I don't really use Bridge much for my video files. But short of reinstalling, is there some way to perhaps "nudge" Bridge into properly recognizing the .mpg?
Brad.

I am having the same problem. Installed purchased copy of Premiere Pro. Did not do trial first.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

Bridge browser does not work to browse intranet sites

I can browser our company intranet sites with my blackberry phone but unable to browse the same sites via the blackberry bridge on my playbook.. Can surf other external sites but unable to surf our intranet sites via the bridge browser.
Am I missing a setting? Or is this feature not supported yet?

According to KB26548, it should be able to connect to the intranet sites via the bridge browser. If it's not, I would suggest checking with your IT department to see if they have any suggestions.
I hope that info helps!

Bridge Browser icon missing - even though connected on BES

The Bridge Browser icon has disappeared off my Playbook.
Before you tell me it's OS2 it's not - the Playbook is connected to a BES smartphone, and I've had OS2 since I first got the Playbook and it's only now that the icon has gone.
I've tried a reset, I've tried re-pairing the tablet and the phone. All the other Bridge icons are there and the tablet is fuctioning normally other than this.
Any help is much appreciated.

Bridge Browser icon missing after the upgrade to OS2

I have suddenly realised that the Bridge Browser icon has been missing from my PlayBook after the Upgrade to OS2. My service provider data plan supports browsing and I use to do that earlier on OS1. Now a days, since I am mainly using Mifi device...did not use Bridge Browser....BUT suddenly realised that this icon is missing.....
Any idea what I need to do to get that icon back on PlayBook? and also use it....

It's really funny...The OS2 manual says that there will be an icon for Bridge Browser....but in reality...you do not require any separate bridge browser icon...Browser main icon works for both...wifi connection as well as bridge connection....
I am surprised, why RIM has not highlighted this fact in its OS2 manual.....
Anyways....my problem is resolved....

Tethering or Bridge browsing

I did so research last night after running into an issue with a website that I log into with a password for work.
Some sites such as the one above won't work with bridge browsing (I cant explain exactly why, but it has something to do with the way sites are compressed through your BB before they arrive on your Playbook through Bridge browsing)
It was neccessary for me to activate tetheringI checked rates with my service provider, 3 cent a MB so the odd time this is neccesary its no big deal.
The site works fine on wi-fi, as they don't get compressed then, Just through tethering. So if you have an issue on bridge brwosing, you might want to go this route

Any Rogers Wireless customers in the house? Teathering and Bridge Browser

are you with Rogers and able to get your Bridge Browser working?
when I try to connect to isp.apn I get a message that I can not connect. Is this something I need to call Rogers about? I just assumed that teathering over bridge would be transparent to the carrier. I guess not.
8100, 8900, 9800, and Playbook owner

I use rogers wireless and believe what you are trying to do is setup internet tethering which is different then using the bridge browser. from how I understand it the bridge browser will use the internet via your BES server which creates a secure connection and allows access to corporate web sites if allowed by your BES admin.
Internet tethering allows the apps on the playbook to access the internet using your blackberry data plan. I have a BES data plan with rogers and this is how I use my playbook with my Torch.
However to get internet tethering to work you need to config a custom profile under
options - internet tethering
you need to set the APN to internet.com
username: wapuser
password: wapuser1
You will now be able to tether your playbook and access the internet on the rogers wireless network. make sure you have a decent data plan so you dont end up with a large data charge.

Bridge Browser on Playbook Not Working

I just got my Playbook, I love it! I connected the Playbook (OS 1.0.3.1.868) to my Curve 9300 (using OS 5.0.0.977 on BES) through bridging. All Bridge functions work well EXCEPT the Bridge Browser.
When I type in a web page address in the Bridge Browser on the Playbook, it loads 1/4 of the way and then a popup window asks me to type a "File name" and "Save To". When I do (or cancel) nothing happens and I get a blank white screen with "No Title".
My Browser on the Curve 9300 is working fine.
Please help!

I am on BES and it works for me, we dont have any fancy settings either.
I am wondering if it has to do with the way BES is routing data access on your device.
What is you default browser set to and can you surf on all default browsers?

Playbook Bridge Browser Network error

The Bridge connected fine to my blackberry and all bridge apps are working well EXCEPT bridge browse. With bridge browse i get the window launch and then:
Error
a network error occurred
please try again later
No more information given by the browser. I would like to know if this is a bug or if it is possible that the playbook cant bridge with internet to my 9700 as if it is the later I will need to return the unit.

The big issue with it is going to be speed. Bluetooth is going to be the bottleneck, but hopefully they can find a way to increase the speed. It would be great if they could develop it to use a WiFi link between your BB and the PB, it would eliminate the bottleneck.
I would just be happy to have it load a page properly!
