Cannot Use Blackberry App World / Icon disappeared
I have lost App World. I was prompted to update to a newer version, which I did (repeatedly!), and now it's gone and the icon is nowhere to be found. I can find it listed under Applications but cannot use it. I've tried all the tricks -- pull the battery, delete it and download it again, etc. I've spent all day and it still doesn't work. I've really about had it!
Hi Trecex 13,
Welcome to the Community,
If you looking for the latest version of App World Download it from here http://blackberry.com/appworld
But before that if you had installed any previous version then uninstall it this way :
Options > Device > Application Management.
Scroll to BlackBerry AppWorld > Delete.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a min, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Good Luck
Prince

Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have you tried removing the battery and placing it back in?
Also have you looked under your downloads folder to see if App World was listed there?

Blackberry app world icon disappeared
Hi anyone could help, I have tried to upgrade my Blackberry app world and the icon just disappeared and tried to open menu to show all hidden icon nothing help. I also tried to re-download the icon but nothing shows on the home screen, please help on that. Thank you.
Hello mashjohn and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Under Options>Device>Application Management, do you see App World installed? If so, delete it and ensure you reboot.
On your browser go to www.blackberry.com/appworld to reinstall it. If you get a prompt to reboot, ensure you do so.
Check to ensure your icon now appears.
Let me know how you make out.

HELP HELP App world icon disappeared
My App World icon has disappeared from desktop while uptdating to ver 3.1.0.56. I have checked this forums and it seems it's a widespread problem and the solution is to wipe the cell phone software and then reinstall everything.
However, I am not satisfied with this solution as: 1 - I paid a lot of money for a work instrument that is software prorietary; 2 - I have no computer I can use to install BB software as I am running Linux; 3 - RIM has been aware of this bug some time but yet hasn't done anything to fix it or avoid it in the future.
So my question now is: is there another way to make my icon reappear or should I just replace my and all my employees' cell phones with Android ones?Have a look at the post above - it depends on which version you're talking about. A lot of people were having problems with version .56 and then installing the BB ID app after doing the update. Then with version .58, a lot of people had the problem with the AppWorld icon disappearing after the upgrade. If this is your problem, then you can simply go to http://appworld.blackberry.com/ on your phone and install version .56 from there and that should overwrite .58 to .56. Hope this helps...

Cannot update blackberry app world. It shows some weird error.
Here is the story. I was using os7 and and 2 days back I upgraded it to 7.1. As usual after upgrading the os, I updated pre installed apps. Like Facebook and bbm and did a re start. After re staring I found that there is no Facebook and bbm icon. I went to app world and searched for it. At the bbm screen there was no button, no re install, delete or anything. On facebook page there was a re install button through which I re installed it and again did a re boot. But again the same thing. So I though of re installing the firmware. I wiped the device via bbsak and installed the firmware via loader.exe (later I also tried with blackberry desktop manager). Now after upgrading when I went to update my app world, it re directed me to browser where I clicked download and then an error came up. I have attached a pic. Now I am unable to upgrade my blackberry app world. I tried several things like removing app world and again trying to Download it from browser, re installing firmware, downgrading and then again upgrading to 7.1 but all in vain. Please help, as I don't have any clue what's wrong and what to do. <br />
P. S: It's my first blackberry, and I bought it unlocked 5 days back. And I don't use BIS. I tried downloading app world via WiFi and via mobile data.<br />
<br />
Here is the error shown<br />
<br />
Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor. <br />
<br />
The "MIDlet-Name" attribute is missing<br />

Posted via the CrackBerry App for AndroidHi and Welcome to the Community!!
Please try this sequence:
1) Remove both AppWorld AND the Identity App from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld (during which a fresh version of the Identity App should also install)
http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Cheers!

Blackberry App World icon has disappeared
HI,
I have recently upgraded to App world ver 2.0.63 and now the icon has disappeared. My 9810 (Torch) is on version 6.0 bundle 695.
Can someone help.
ThanksIt appears the current workaround is to downgrade your AppWorld client to version 4.0.0.55. This can be done by visiting the following link in your browser.

Cannot download blackberry app world apps - "enable cookies" error message keeps coming
Hi,
I have a Curve 3920, running v7.1.0 OS.
Back in July I kept getting low memory messages and it kept getting stuck so I had to un-install apps such as Linkedin or What's App. Then I realized I only had 2GB memory so upgraded to a 16GB one.
Now the blackberry works ok but it is impossible to re-install Linkedin or World Apps app or any other from Blackberry World interface, it keeps coming coming up with ""BlackBerry ID Services. We detect that cookies have been disabled in your browser. Please enable cookies in order to continue." error message, even though I have correct set-up in the device browser option set-up menu.
However I successfully managed to download What's App, but not from app world page.
Any idea of what can be done?
Many thanks in advance.
