Edit task on the playbook bridge.

I'm not able to edit the text in a task with the bb bridge on my Playbook OS 2.1. I'm only able to enter one caracter per line.
I'm able to edit the task on my BB.
My BB is a Curve 9360.
Those any one have already get the same problem. Is they're a way to fix it.
Thanks,
Pierrot

Try completely deleting the BlackBerry Bridge and Bluetooth connections from both your BlackBerry smartphone and your BlackBerry PlayBook, then setup the connection again.
Thanks.

Editing a task in GW Cal removes the task from the tasklist

User assigned herself a task and copied her supervisor. If she goes in and edits the task it remains on her calendar but removes it from her tasklist folder. Why can you not see edited tasks in the tasklist folder? Thanks.

An excellent question, I get the same behaviour, and it certainly sounds
wrong and not how I've experienced using Tasks in the past (I haven't
used GW directly much for tasks in a few versions)
What happens if her supervisor edits the task?
What if her supervisor creates the task and issues it to her and then she
edits it?
It would be very interesting to see how different combinations of people
creating/editing shows up.
Do you have much in the way of SRs available to you? If you do that
might be the way to go, otherwise we certainly have other methods
available to dig for you.

Playbook Bridge Calendar Not Showing What's on the Phone Calendar

There are calendar items that display of my Curve 9330 but not on the Playbook bridge calendar . If I open the calendar item on my phone and from the menu select either "save" or "send," the item will appear on the Playbook bridge calendar - but it then disappears if I close the calendar and reopen it, or when the Playbook wakes up after it goes to sleep.
This issue pre-dates the OS upgrade and still exists. For many months, everything worked fine, but then this problem arose.
I have reinstalled- re-Paired, re-booted. I backed up the Playbook, reinstalled the OS, deleted and reinstalled the bridge on the phone, pulled the phone's battery -- whatever I try, I still have the same problem - the bridge calendar does not show what is on the phone's calendar.
Appointments added to the calendar on my desktop (we use Lotus Notes) show up on the phone but not in the bridge calendar.
I don't use the native calendar.

Hi JerryPasternak,
I would recommend contacting BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet support for further investigation into this issue. You can find the contact information here: http://bbry.lv/MgKtEp

8900 froze while connecting to the Playbook

I was setting up the Playbook bridge when my 8900 was looking to connect it locked up.
I did the soft boot which took me to the BB logo with the progress meter which stops about 75%. I pulled the battery and replaced it after 5 minutes but it did the same.
I pulled the battery and connected the BB to my laptop but it can't connect and only shows the no battery logo on the 8900.
Obviously the Bridge software has corrupted the OS. How do you reset the OS?
thanks

Hello GarryDodman and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
To reinstall your BlackBerry device software, go to your mobile carrier's download site (click here) and install it to your computer. Follow the steps in KB11320 to reinstall it. Try to back up your device first before going through the reload process.

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

Future Things We Want Rim To Fix On The Playbook (Organized)

Well I cannot believe I just did this. I just went through the entire thread “Future Things we Want Rim to Fix On The Blackberry Playbook” (Found Here) yes all 16 pages. I made a list of all the features everyone requested in particular the more important ones / commonly requested and organized it in hopes RIM and PB developers and the like will come across this, and be able to quickly sift through what its users want. I will attempt to keep this updated as updates are released to solve these issues. Any suggestions feel free and I will edit the post. Please don’t spam this thread, let’s try to keep this thread organized. Remember this is for FEATURES. APPLICATION requests belong in the application request thread (Found Here).
These are not listed in any sort of importance, it’s just the list I compiled as I was sifting through the forum.
BlackBerry App World
Sort Applications by New, Popular, Most download, Highest Rated etc.
  Sort Downloaded applications by Size, Name, Personal rating etc.
BlackBerry OS
  Cursor, it needs to be a lot simpler to move the cursor to edit a few letters/words currently the steps required are far too cumbersome. Many suggested arrow keys.
  File Manager, pretty straight forward
Auto-correct, word anticipation, auto-capitalize, Spelling-suggestion, add to dictionary (Basically what our BlackBerry Phone can already do)
Pictures in Portrait Mode
Wi-Fi Music Sync, similar to current BlackBerry Phones
File Extension Support throughout OS that includes emails (.zip .rar .htm .html .wav) Streaming extensions such as .pls and .mp3 in email attachments
Open Multiple Documents (Doc To Go, ppt to go, spreadsheet to go)
Ability to quickly change font color, size, type, and various formatting of words (Double tap brings up a little window with few simple options)
No backlight/stand-by option when plugged in
Save E-mail to playbook for future edit (This might not be so important once a native client is on the PB)
Support for File Folders within Email (Again, native email client might fix this)
Adobe Acrobat Reader enhancement/bring up to par (PDF Search, Highlighting, bookmarks, click links)
Open PDF in browser or support to auto-open PDF once downloaded (Should be an option to turn on/off)
While viewing a picture/video in Pictures or Video App have the ability to send via email
Ability to create custom folders for applications / home-screen icons
Better Bluetooth support (headsets, cars)
Recognition of an Email Address or Phone Number or Street Address in an Email/Browser/Application, if BB Phone is bridged then option to place call or launch email or maps should be available
Search Text in Doc to Go (Ctrl + F like feature)
Wireless Printing
Ability to delete stock applications
If GPS isn’t working and Phone is bridged it should make use of Phone GPS
More Camera Options (timer, lighting modes, exposure settings etc.)
Advanced Multi-Task options – Have two applications open side by side using gestures
Gesture to put to sleep/unlock (2 Hand finger swipe from top-to-bottom) [I personally don’t mind the power button this is just what people mentioned]
Keyboard
Smart space bar similar to Blackberry Phones (Eg. Space in URL inputs a ‘.’ Or in an email it inputs the @)
Hold letter to capitalize
123/sym key locking after use, Most people only use one symbol at a time. Therefore, after clicking that symbol the keyboard should switch back to letters. (This should be an option to turn off/on)
Arrow Key (Mentioned above, not sure how it would work, but if applied correctly it might be better than some form of cursor)
BlackBerry Browser
Change browser ID for websites that specify Internet Explorer etc.
Organize bookmarks – change order, rename etc.
Search text in browser (Ctrl +F like feature)
Save passwords in browser
Flash on demand (option to press to play flash)
New Option in settings – Default Links Open in new tab
Ability to have multiple browser running (It is a Multi-Task power horse)
BlackBerry Bridge
Support photo, audio and videos of files on BB Phones
fb, twitter and other social apps should be able to push notifications into playbook and be viewed there as well.
sms can be viewed and edited just like BBM messages

**bleep** that deletes the purpose of this thread . I was hoping to keep it updated... I hate when forums don't let you edit.

Problems with Playbook Bridge

Help... I have a blackberry torch 9800 mobile and was so so looking forward to buying the Playbook. I am a business user so 95% for wanting to buy the PB is bridge feature for emails, contacts, calendar, task, bbm and internet browsing. I downloaded bridge software to my mobile, went to the shop to try bridge on the PB before buying and was SERIOUSLY disappointed when bridged my mobile to the PB !! Reasons being: 1-my mobile froze full time. So from my mobile i could not answer incoming calls, couldn't make outgoing calls, couldn't open nor do anything on my mobile until I cancelled the bluetooth bridge connection at which time my phone worked super fast as it always does, applications open super quick, commands executed quickly etc. 2-mobile battery drained quickly during bluebtooth bridging of 10 minutes only!! So if I bridge for an hour it will suck my battery dry!! I can not carry a battery charger with me just to be able to bridge as the sales attended suggested...no way as I need to bridge at least 3 hours daily. 3-when I used the bridge Internet browser it took a good 4 minutes to simply open a new web page!! 4-when I made new appointments, tasks or contacts (or made changes to existing entries) on PB it sometimes took a good 3 minutes to show the new or amended entries on the PB!! The salesperson told me every time I made a new entry or changed an existing entry I am to close the program and reopen it to see the new / amended entry....no way and definitely NOT practical!! The salesman told me to buy a faster blackberry mobile to be able to properly use PB bridge and not have the above problems. This does not make sense to me as don't really want to buy a new mobile as my current mobile is superfast. Of course I did not end up buying the PB. Can anyone help advise how to resolve above problems as I really DO want to buy the PB to use the bridge feature on it....I love the bridge feature. Also does anyone know for future play books if they will have native emails, calendar etc + when these new play books versions will be coming out to buy??

what version bridge did you try?
What version OS was on the playbook?
Mine does not drain fast at all when bridged unless i surf a lot on the web since it will use the full internet and not the compressed version you phone usually uses.

How to Delete file i.e. videos directly from the Playbook

I know that I can transfer files to the playbook, but How do I delete flies such as videos from the playbook?

To delete a a video open the videos app and swipe down. Click on the pencil for "Edit". Select the videos you want to delete and then click on the delete icon. Pictures works the same way.

How to do things Wrong, or the Playbook. A Catharsis.

Dear Blackberry, I want to talk about your little beautiful tablet: The Playbook.
This is a Catharsis, so don't take this personal, it isn't.
I have one, I found it's hardware to be incredible. The OS (2.0) it's also fast and responsive. There are several thing really well done in it: multitasking, gestures, the way to close programs, how to reset, suspend and shutdown, and many, many others.
But it have a problem, you hate your users. You hate them badly, because you don't know them, or ignore them on purpose (not sure yet).
Let's talk about what can go wrong with such a good product, because there are a few levels of wrong.
First wrong: the basic software
Let's jump to OS 2.0 directly, because thinking on a tablet without a native contacts and mail client gives me the chills.
Twitter. Amazing service eh? Even you have several accounts, in different languages and all. But you don't offer a free native twitter client. You have one, for ALL your phones, and it's good. Amazingly, you didn't port it to QNX, so we are all stuck with buying one, or use the web interface. Look at your great tablet, now grab the crappiest droid tablet with at least V2.3 of the OS. In one of those two tablets you have twitter out of the box. Hint: not in yours.
Blackberry Messenger (BBM). Again, amazing service. I think that's the single feature of your products that make you sell about 1M phones in a 40M inhabitants country, mine. Really amazing. So, if you get a Blackberry, you have it, right? No, wrong. Not with the Playbook. And you know what? That makes the Playbook a LOT less appeal to LOTS of people. Apple copied you, and released a messaging application with iOS 5, for idevices only. At the same time them where releasing a tablet with a feature that copied from you (because it's a feature that sells products), you where dumping that feature. I'm wondering if you didn't want to sell tablets, but just show off the fact that you can make one if you want.
Second wrong: connecting to PCs
As far as I've used mildly advanced devices (phones, tablets, even a Palm!) they all connected to my computer as a Massive Storage Device. At least, all of them have the option easily available (with the Palm I had to install a tiny, free, third party program). But not the Playbook. Oh no. It must do it in the most obnoxious way an intelligent (and evil) engineer can create. A virtual USB network adapter? Browse through a virtual shared folder? It's hard to imagine the creative session in which such a devilish idea was devised: “Can you do it more difficult and obscure?” “I can make it connect as a virtual USB network device, but that's too far!” “Do it! mwahahahahaha!”
So, I end up asking myself, Do you hate your users? I see that you are under heavy fire from US tech media, that clearly want you and other players (like Nokia) cold dead. I've read several reviews of your tablet and phones that didn't do justice to neither of them, but you seem to like to offer soft flanks to attacks.
Some times it looks like as YOU don't believe in YOUR OWN platform as to migrate the most basic software, How do you expect third parties to do it? Make all your software (or the most used or otherwise important) available for the Playbook and other developers will follow, no the other way around.
Reading forums and blogs I see some people believe that some of your most bizarre decisions, like the connecting to a PC monstrosity, are based in what CTOs or the like told you for security reasons. Aren't CTOs the ones happily jumping into the BYOD bandwagon because it's cheaper? Those are good clients to please while making all the others curse your ancestors, really a top notch strategic decision.
You know, this era is becoming, in certain aspects, most bottom-up than top-down. Consumer decisions are every year more based in peers than in marketing (with the admirably exception of Apple, which we can discuss other day if you want). And companies aren't in the mood to argue with their userbase, especially if that is more expensive than to let them do what they want (ie. BOYD).
Your users are the ones that uses your devices, not the ones that buys them. That leaves the CTOs and the like as an small subset of users, not the most important. If enough people in the company complains about crappy software and say that they want to use their drois or idevices for free, your CTO it's not going to argue much. And not having a native, preinstalled Twitter client, or having to go through a pain to simply connect the tablet to a PC are the kind of things about which users complain loudly.
Times are changing, so should your bussiness model. Be smart and be quick. Don't be Nokia (Who, by the way now had all their flagship phones gone obsolete in a single press conference by Microsoft. Now MS just needs to delay WP8 a few months to bring Nokia to its knees. A smart move by Nokia, huh?).
Be intelligent Blackberry, sharp your teeth and look what people will want to do with your tablet and phones and make the tablet and phones do that for them. After that, see how you can secure it to CTOs taste, but with user experience fixed in a high standard.
It's a shame to see a giant and innovative company like you struggle against your own incompetence, or the incompetence of a highly positioned moron, not sure about that. It's the same with Nokia, they can't stop shooting their feet.
Do yourself a favor, ask users what they want to do with their tablets, and make your tablets do so.
My apologizes for all the moronic errors with my English, it's not my mother tongue and my proficiency left a lot to be desired.
Greets,
Anibal

First, this forum is a peer to peer support community. While RIM people do look in now and then they don't offer official support here. It's possible some may read your post, though.
I'm going to see if I can address your main concerns:
Twitter: There are several apps available in AppWorld. Personally, I just use the web app supplied and it works just fine. Additionally, you can download Android apps to your Playbook quite easily. My favorite place to get them is from here:
http://goodereader.com/apps/playbook/playbook-android-apps/
BBM: This service requires a BB data plan via a BlackBerry. I bridge my PlayBook to my BlackBerry and can use BBM quite easily (though Groups are not yet supported.)
Connecting to PC: Please download the Desktop Software from www.blackberry.com/desktop
Hopefully, this helps you some. I much prefer my PlayBook over my iPad any day. I have taken the time to research on the Internet and figure out how to convert my own Android apps over to PlayBook and it has given me some extra utilization. It's not hard to do once you get everything set up.

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
On the Z10 do the following:
On the Z10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.
Jerry G.

From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet. 247 views and no comments or help ? I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether. If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years. But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

How to do reassingment of the task from the workflow.

Hi,
I have two work flow one is approval workflow & another is reassignment workflow in which manager approval is need for reassignment, once manager will approve, task should be reassing to requested user in approval workflow. How can i reassign the task from process 2 to process1. Please suggest.
Thanks
Edited by: 949691 on Sep 27, 2012 6:27 PM

I haven't tried it for this, but try using a correlation.
Create the correlation in the process you want to notify -> add an event subprocess in that process who's start event is an interrupting Message event that takes a string as input that is the user id you want to reassign it to -> add an Update Task in the event in the event subprocess -> change the Update Task's operation to "Reassign" and assign it to the user id that the notifying processes sends in -> have the notifying process send the notification into this process with the user id you want to reassign the instance to.
In his blog post from about a year ago, Arun Pareek did an infinitely better job of explaining correlations than I have - http://beatechnologies.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/working-with-custom-correlation-in-oracle-bpm-suite-11g-ps4-feature-pack/.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge. When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product? It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

Are edits written to the LR Database as well as XMP files? V1 on WinXP

I've been using the setting to write out XMP files and now have thousands of the little devils, of course.
What I'd like to know is if the LR database also includes the same info as the XMP files. In other words if I delete all my XMPs will I loose all tmy edits etc.
The reason behind this question is a) I'm not sure I need the XMPs for use anywhere else b) I get the impression that LR will speed up somewhat.
Thxs
Colin

Colin
All the info is in the database and LR never uses the sidecars (except at import). Those sidecars are just dumps or most of the editing and informational metadata - open one sidecar in a web browser and you'll see what's there.
You don't say where "anywhere else" may be, but they would be readable if you wanted to use those files in a sidecar-savyy program (eg Bridge or iView). If there isn't an "anywhere else", I think that setting's a waste of processing power and you'll lose nothing by switching it off. I don't notice much speed impact, either with sidecars or with DNGs where the XMP gets written into the file.
Backup should be original images + the database, not the sidecars.
