Downloading App World to Playbook - problems

Can somebody please assist? I have a  new Playbook but it doesn't have App World pre-loaded. I can't seem to download the App to the Playbook.
RIM have sent me the email link to download it but I keep getting the following message: "
Home
BlackBerry App World
Get apps designed for your smartphone
Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone."
When I click on the link to the mobile site nothing happens??

Hey Deonmalan,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
You can down the BlackBerry® App World application from the browser on the BlackBerry® PlayBook by visiting www.BlackBerry.com/appworld.
Thanks.

  • Please help urgently - can't download App World

    Dear all,
    I posted yesterday about how I've lost access to WhatsApp on my Blackberry Z10. I'm a lecturer and use WhatsApp to communicate with my students so it is urgent that I get back on ASAP. I could not get the application to update or download so I deleted it but that has not helped. The root problem seems to be that App World is gone from my BB, and I can't get it back either.
    I have tried several methods of downloading App World and none of them work.
    1. If I enter the URL appworld.blackberry.com in the browser on my BB, I get the error "Unable to open appworld://"
    2. If I visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download as instructed on the BB website, it states:
    "Simply visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download from your smartphone to download. Or, enter an email address that’s integrated with your BlackBerry smartphone below and click submit to have a download link sent to you."
    When I enter the URL www.blackberry.com/appworld/download in my BB browser it simply refreshes the same page with the same instructions.
    3. If I enter the email address integrated with my BB, it sends me an email with the following URL in it:
    http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/entry.do?code=appworld
    Currently, entering this URL on my PC or in my BB yields an "HTTP Status 500" exception report. Previously (last night), the same URL was giving the following instruction: "Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your Blackberry." But I was using the browser on my BlackBerry and not a USB connection.
    4. Searching around the web desperately for a workaround, I found a suggestion to download BlackBerry App World directly from the web at this link. However, when I downloaded this file to my BB and tried to open it, it just said "Unable to open file".
    I'm now out of ideas! Please help.

    Hi @tom-81030 
    Thats strange! To confirm, what happens if tyou open BlackBerry World and search for WhatsApp?
    This should allow you to see WhatsApp and provide a Install option (link). 
    If searching for the app doesnt produce any results, try scanning the following QR Code using BlackBerry World on your device. To do this, open BlackBerry World, swipe down from the top of your screen and tap Scan Barcode. 
    Let me know if this helps!

  • Blackberry ID Error Message while want to download paid application from App-World in Playbook.

    I am using Blackberry Playbook OS ver. 2.0.1.358 for the last one month, recently I couldn't download paid application from the App-World, playbook responds While download appln.- entering Blackberry ID and PW > Failed Attempt 2/10 The username and password doesn't correspond to the valid Blackberry ID.
    I have tried to download again >
    Failed Attempt 3/10 The username and password doesn't correspond to the valid Blackberry ID.
    Then I closed the application world in my playbook. I had surfed to the Blackberry id web site and used to login. It was successful every time but in the Play book respods error message as mentioned above every time.
    What is the crazy Blackberry playbook and what went wrong? Please help me.

    If found the workaround on the post Upgrading problem on this forum. Solution is to hit the Refresh List button in app world. Once the refresh completes I was able to update the app.

  • Problem Downloading App World

    Whenever I go to down the app world when the download is complete a message comes up saying "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error" What does this mean and how am I able to get the app world working on my phone?
    Thank You
    Steve

    I get this same message.  I.e., I download, then it tells me I need to reboot, I click Reboot Now, it reboots, then as it comes back to life i get this same message:"Uncaught exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error"  I click "OK.  The same message comes back again.  I click "OK" again.  The message now goes away and the home screen comes up, but there is no AppWorld Icon.  And this is on the current version of AppWorld, 3.1.0.60.  What is the fix?  See my prior posting on this:
    App World Inaccessible after Upgrade to 3.1.0.60
    Saturday
    Upgraded to App World 3.1.0.60 but now the App World icon is gone and no way to get it to run.  What is the fix?  On a Bold 9700 running v 5.0.0.296 (Platform 5.1.0.83)

  • The App World of PLAYBOOK is missing!

    Some days before, i cannot use my app world normally,  it stay at Background image,no application icons came out.
    So,i wipe data yesterday, but the app world is missing when my playbook finished the installion, and i update to the lastest version ,i also can not find the app world .
    How can i do for my playbook! no app world ,no applications! the playbook will be a mp3/4 player! no!!!!!!!

    I also updated to the BlackBerry PlayBook version 1.0.5 Bundle 2304. I used the App World several times to install (and possibly delete) applications. 
    I installed an app successfully, then I was no longer able to see the icons in App World. All I see is the background image.
    After rebooting the PlayBook, App World is still blank. However, the notification icons related to updating apps in App World are present. Clearing the notifications do not change the status of App World. The notifications eventually reappear in the status area. At least one of these notifications are for a program that was previously updated to the alerted version -- the notice still appears after the app was updated. (The app was updated prior to this current problem with App World.)
    [Additional Information: My PlayBook was in development mode since I was testing an app I developed. The sample app was signed and I do not have a debug token installed on my machine yet. Disabling the development mode has no change to this problem.]
    [Additional App Info: JQuery Mobile App is now a completely blank screen. I tried to update it in App World prior to this problem and was given a message that the PlayBook could not connect with App World. However, soon after this attempt, I was able to download the BlackBerry News and CrackBerry apps. Immediately after installing these apps, I no longer had access to App World -- it is now a background image.]
    There does not appear to be a way to erase App World from the PlayBook to reinstall it. A security wipe may be the only way to restore the app.
    I will continue to diagnose this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    UPDATE: There is another thread that resolves this topic for some people by typing RST on the App World screen. This does not resolve my problem (even after rebooting). http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​PlayBook/App-World-stopped-working/td-p/1139737

  • Download app world: error 905

    hey you all!
    i recently got my new blackberry bold 9790 and i used to be quite happy about it until i realized that i can't get any apps...
    it all started when i noticed that i couldn't open the installed app world icon on my blackberry. i then uninstalled the programme and wanted to download a new one online. but that doesn't work: i can't download it via usb, so i try it via my mobile phone internet access. the download does start but in the end there's always an error showing up: error 905.
    Do you have any ideas to solve my problem and get the app world? Thanks a lot!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    I find no reference to "905" in the public KBs...perhaps you can search with more parameters to find something useful:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
    Please try a hard reset: With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    In addition, you can try this sequence:
    1) Remove AppWorld 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
    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.
    You may also want to attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was. You may also want to attempt installing AW while in SAFE mode.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Unable to download/update apps, lost App World from BB9780 and unable to download App World again

    Hi, I see posts about this subject but none have helped me so far. I seem to have accumulated 3 issues
    Since a couple of weeks I am unable to download apps from the app world or update apps from the app world.
    1. unable to download / update apps from App World
    The progress bar of the download progresses some and the it hoves me the error "There was a problem during installation, please try again".
    2. While trying to fix this issue 1, the App World icon has disappeared from my BB9780. On the desktop software I see that the App World stll shows as installed on my device (version 3.1.1.121). a search on my device shows nothing though.
    3. I try to fix the issue 2 by reinstalling the App World. Everything goes well untill the language selection. Final message is whether I want to replace version 3.1.1.121 with version 3.1.1.121? When continuing I receive the error "Download failed". Detailed error mesage: "909 Application authentication failure".
    Please help me how to fix this. I have tried:
    -battery pulls
    -security wipes
    -time zone synch
    nothing seems to help.
    Thanks in advance. Rob

    Hi, jimac.1729.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to download or update an App.  Sometimes simply forcing all apps to close and restarting the device can resolve this issue.  Also, try going through the steps outlined below.   
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

  • App World for Playbook

    I've bought 2 playbooks and I love them - except for app world.  I seem to have no ends of issues with them.
    I'm trying to purchase an app but my one playbook currently won't log in.  When asked to sign in it tells me that the password/ID combination is invalid - although the password is correct.  I'm up to my 6th time so I don't want to try any more.  I press forgot pass word and it tells me "Network/Connect Error.  Please check your connection settings and try again." 
    I can down load any other free app from App world, surf the net, and I can log in on my PC but I just can't do it on my playbook.  I've reset my password on the PC but no change.  I've rebooted twice.
    Any suggestions?
    If you find my post helpful please "like" it and "accept as a solution"

    Well I connected to my PC via USB and then  backed up everything.   Suddenly I noticed it was asking me continuously to log on on with my Black Berry ID - even when I wasn't in App world.     So I click on app world and everything was working normally - and I could purchase my games with no issue.
    So I dunno exactly what happened but if this happens to anyone else I'd suggest connecting to your PC via USB and maybe the problem will mysteriously go away.

  • How do you contact the people at App World (for PlayBook)...

    Does anybody know who I need to talk to regarding App World (for the playbook). It really gripes me when you write a constructive review for an app, but the vender then removes it - surely, this should not be allowed (as it can lead to customers being mislead). I wrote the following review for the UK on-device GPS Map app, and guess what, it was removed!
    Not as impressed as i thought it would be for the following reasons:1. Incomplete maps - I've lived in my house for over ten years, yet my housing estate doesn't show up on the map (I wonder if this is the case elsewhere???)!
    2. Map scale - When I'm out and about, and zoom into the map, it doesn't always rescale itself; rendering the map useless.
    3. GPS Location - Once the App finds your location, and you then move, it doesn't then replot your movement on the map; to re-establish your position, you have keep repressing the button - very poor!
    4. Finally, the App just keeps crashing! Your using it, then it just switches off.
    Considering all the above, and the price of this App (£9.99!), I am really disapointed. Please fix the issues identified or refund asap.
    Cheers...

    Possibly the best bet is simply discussing it here.  RIM tends to like such feedback to be filtered through the forum, I presume because allowing much direct contact would overwhelm them (these days, with negative feedback!).  It's also reasonable in that it gives other people here (users like you, and developers) a chance to comment, expand the discussion, correct misconceptions, and so on.  As I understand it, RIM tries to monitor these forums, and in the cases where they may not notice a particular concern, some of the long-time participants have back-channels to escalate serious concerns to their attention.  I'm pretty sure they watch the "big picture", and if enough people complain about something, I'm pretty sure they take notice and engage in internal discussions to decide what to do about it.  (My main problem with this whole process is that they almost never provide any external feedback to us, even to let us know they recognize certain problems.  For example, the PlayBook rapid charger quality problems... it's incontrovertibly a defect, but there's been no sign of any recognition of that on their part.)
    That said, I sympathize with you.  I'm disgusted by that map vendor's products and behaviour, as I think they give the rest of us devs a bad name, not to mention "hogging" too much of the space in the Newest and Recently Updated lists, among other things.
    I'll note one thing, however, though I don't like the idea I might actually be seen as defending them.  On the map quality topic, those maps are actually using the OpenStreetMap data, aren't they?  (Visit http://openstreetmap.org)  If so, the quality of the data isn't something that vendor has control over... OSM is basically just like Wikipedia, in that the content is almost entirely generated by volunteers, people like you and I, who have chosen to contribute.  (I've edited OSM for my own town, adding many missing roads, fixing spelling errors, etc.) 
    If that's true, then I think the vendor ought to have made that very clear to their customers.  I'm not too surprised they did not, however, since I believe they knew they couldn't charge people $10 for a poor quality app that was merely giving you access to map data that cost the vendor nothing to provide.
    Have you tried contacting the vendor and demanding a refund?  It is possible for developers to request that RIM arrange a refund, as I understand it.
