Can't purchase anything in BBW. Need Help.

I have pretty much the same problem. And it's a shame, that I can't do anything about it, because there is no Blackberry support, at least in Germany.
I do like my Passport, but if I can't purchase any apps it's kind of useless.
I don't need tons of apps, but a few are necessary. For exaple "Camera ++", since Blackberry wasn't able to fix the focus problem in their update two days ago. 
Blackberry World keeps telling me to verify my PayPal account and add a payment source. But it I did both of it, I even contacted PayPal and they confirmed that everything is fine. Code: (AW589009c)
I also tried a different PayPal accout, but this wouldn't work either. Might be something with my BBID.
I can't purchase through my carrier and don't have (and don't want) a credit card, since I'm going for two more years to university.
If I'm not able to fix this soon, I sadly need to get a new phone...
So please BB community, I need your help, since Blackberry won't help me.
Thank you a lot in advance.
Solved!

Hi and thank you.
My problem just got solved. And here is how...
Today I received an unexpected email from PayPal. About 3 weeks earlier I have been in contact with the PayPal Service, via mail and phone, to solve my issue I had (first post). Sadly to that time nobody was able to help me, because everything seemed fine. BlackBerry World always told me to verify my PayPal account when I was trying to purchase an app, but I did verify it and my account as well as the PayPal support said the same. So I didn't know what else to do. 
Todays email said, that there has been a system failure which has caused problems with some accounts, including mine.They are very sorry that they've noticed it just now, but the failure wasn't visible to the outside. Short, I could read that I did verify my PayPal account, because that's what I did, but it wasn't because of this failure the verification never went through.
Immediately after I received a credit note from PayPal in the amount of 20 Euros and my problem of course is fixed.
Of course this whole situation took a while and I got really frustrated, but at the end everything worked out.
So, if anyone has the same or a similar issue, get your phone and call the PayPal support. If there should be something with your account, they are going to fix it.
And I'm just happy right now, that I can enjoy my BB Passport without anymore troubles.
Thank you sdgardne for your quick response, I really appreciate it. I hope many other users will solve their problem with it, as it solved mine.
Have a nice day everyone

  • I can't do anything. I need HELP!

    I couldn't remember my admin password so I followed the instructions online and put the Mac OS X Install DVD in and held down the C button, then I clicked my language and reset my password.
    I then did what the instructions said and quit the password window and restarted my computer.
    When it restarted it took me back to the Mac OS X Install DVD window - the exact thing I had just been on.
    I can not do anything because I am stuck on this screen and I have no clue what to do.
    I found a way to eject the disc and that did nothing now my computer does nothing, even more than before - it's just a gray screen with the apple logo.
    I'm scared that I lost all of my work for the last few years because I needed to reset a silly password.
    I would love all the help I can get because I'm fairly flustered and I have no clue what to do.

    So it is a MacBook Pro? Well, With my iMac, somtimes after a power failure, It takes a while for the machine to start up. If that dosen't work, I would Reinstall Mac OS X. You will have 3 options.
    1) Erase and install
    2) Archive install
    3) Archive install Preserving Users and Network
    If you choose 1, all files are deleted. If you choose 2, all files in the four OS X installed folders (Applications, Library, System, and Users) are put in a folder called "Previous Systems" and a new system with a new user account is installed. If you choose 3, all files in Applications, Library, and System are put in a folder called "Previous Systems" and a new system with the same old user account(s) is installed.           
    For what you want, I would choose option 2, archive install. Hope this helps.

  • I accidentally dropped my iPad but it didn't crack the screen just went totally black and it still turns off and on but it's just black and I can't do anything. I need help I don't  know what to do

    I accidentally dropped my iPad but it didn't crack. It just went black and I tried turning it on and off and it works but it just stays black and I don't know what to do I desperately need help.

    I could not believe it, but it worked. If you have this problem, Here's my word to you: Don't give up! I tried this "magical" fix three times last night. Nothing (...x3!). Then, today I put it upside down on my ottoman and hit the back quite hard. I have no idea how this works and - even a s a scientist - I don"t care! My iPad is up and running again. Go figure... but I am thrilled!!! Thank you, forum. I never would have thought of this on my own. And you just saved me several hundred $$$!

    You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I can't purchased anything from the App store..... HELP ME

    I can't purchased anything from the App store, it keeps telling that there is a problem with the previous purchased and when I tried to re-enter the information , this message keep showing " your payment method was declined please use valid method" even though I've used it before . what can I do ? could anyone please help me?
    Thanks

    Either that or you can just buy an iTunes card and put it on the account. I've have itunes account for a long time so maybe this plays a part in it but I don't have a CC tied to my account. I have the option to choose "none" and that's what I have it as. I used to have a card on there years ago but I removed it and never had to have another on it. Any purchases I make come from iTunes credits (iTunes card or credits I got from redeeming rewards).

  • My iPad app store is a US version not UK so I can't purchase anything, and it's all listed in $

    I may have pressed something on my laptop that reset my iPad, then I just put the apps etc back on... But I have just tried a search in the app store and it's a US version! I cannot update my current UK app either, I message comes up saying it'll take me back to the UK store and that I should re-try but it still doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest iTunes and it didn't make a difference...

    Any help would be great!

    Assuming that you have a credit card in the UK, with a valid billing address for that credit card that matches the credit card statement ....
    Launch the app store app. Go to the Featured Tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. Your ID is accessible in the lower left corner. Tap on the ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Country/Region and change the store to the UK in there.

  • I have just upgraded to OS X Mavericks. It wanted me to upgrade my 20000 photos before the New iphoto could use them. I did. 43.6GB of photos became 1.8GB of very small photos of arounf 178KB instead of 2.5MB. Can't do anything with them. Help?

    The obvious and simple solution is to restore from the back up you made before upgrading.
    Other than that you'll need to give us a lot more detail. Mavericks doesn't ask you to upgrade your Photos, upgrading to a later iPhoto asks you about upgrading the Library. Where is the library? What version were you upgrading from? Anything else you can tell us that might help understand the problem you're having.

    Help I can't purchase anything :(

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
