File attachment​s in Blackberry Bridge Calendar

The utility of the Playbook for me depends on being able to open attachments that are in my calendar (Lotus Notes). The Notes calendar sync's fine (BES ver 5.01) with the Blackberry Tour and an attachment can be opened by the device. The bridge calendar entry on first click shows the paperclip icon to indicate there is an attachment but then when the entry is fully open there is none to be found.
Any suggestions?
The way I work (and likely many others) is not print anything, all information relevant to a meeting (that can take place at many sites in a large complex) is put into the calendar entry and at the meeting I can open the attachments. Works well with laptop. The Playbook won't work for me until I can open attachments in calendars in the same way as I can open them in emails.

i have not been able to open calendar attachments yet. what type of attachments are you trying to open?

  • Blackberry Bridge - calendar entry missing

    The Playbook calendar is different to my Torch calendar - many entries (all-day events) are missing on the playbook?
    I tried to fix it with new (all-day event) entries and with deleting and establishing a new bridge function.....no chance!
    Seems to be another bug.....the list of bugs is increasing and I'm getting more and more angry about the "bugbook"!!!

    Hello,
    Navigate to Options-Device-Advanced System Settings-Default Services. What do you have listed under calendar here? Try changing it to make sure the correct one is selected and try to re pair the BlackBerry smartphone again.
    Thank you

  • Problem accessing files via Blackberry Bridge

    Not sure if anyone is having this issue....I've got the blackberry bridge installed, and I can access my messages, contacts, etc.  However if I go into the Bridge Files menu, I am unable to open anything.  I tap it and it just does nothing.  If I go into the sheet to go app on the Playbook, I am able to access my files off my blackberry, however every single one opens up read only (which kinda defeats the purpose)
    Any ideas?  Is there a setting I am missing?

  • Opening Native File Attachment on Blackberry Professional Software

    Does anyone know how to set the Blackberry Professional Software to open Native File attachment?
    Will there be an update for the software that needs to be done?
    My device info:
    Device: Curve 8330
    Provider: Verizon Wireless
    OS: 4.5
    We currently have Documents To Go on the BB device but we can't use it until the BB Professional software is able to support native attachment according to Docs To Go support.
    I know the latest BES server support the native attachment but we don't have BES since we only have 3 BB in the office.
    We need to be able to open and edit Microsoft file and also PDF but we are not able to do that with the integrated viewer software on the device.
    Any suggestions?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    CP

    Cpanker,
    Welcome to BB Forums!
    I am unable to help you with this question, but I know there are many on here that will be able to guide you in this! I have DOCS to go but mine is BIS not BES.

  • Missing calendar entries from phone over Blackberry bridge

    I have two phones bridged to the playbook. Initially I had issues seeing SMS over the bridge with a 9850. After deleting the tablet from the phone and the phone from the tablet, performing a hard reset and re-adding the devices the issue was fixed. I then got the playbook bridge to a 9930. All apps work with the exception of the calendar. I am not able to see some of my entries on the calendar displayed on the playbook even when they appear on the 9930. After deleting the tablet from the phone and the phone from the tablet, performing a hard reset on both devices and re-adding the devices the issue was not fixed. Ideas? Thank you!!!
    Solved!

  • How do I get an email file attachment, any extension, off of my phone?

    All I want to do is get an email file attachment off of my phone and on to my computer so I can use it.  I don't want to open it on my phone, it could be an AutoCAD file, a programming langauge file, etc.  I want the option to save the attachment to local memory on my phone and then transfer it to my PC via USB.   This worked all the time with my Blackberry, but it seems impossible or extremely difficult with the Apple IOS. The available phone memory would look like a USB stick drive to my PC.  I am at job sites all the time where I do not have internet access from my PC, but I am within the cell network area of coverage so this would be an option.
    I spent almost an hour with Apple Tech support today and they must have thought that I was on drugs asking for such a simple thing.  Apparently, the available phone memory is protected by the IOS so that the PC can't see it or use it.  They said this feature would be all App based.  The key then is finding an App that would allow the email client on the phone to give the user the option to open or save the file to a location that my PC can see. Does anyone know of such an App?   If I can't find a workable solution I may have to go to an Android device.  Thanks.

    So I understand where you are coming from. The best way is to use the cloud. What you need to do is download a program like dropbox, box.net or sugar sync; there are tons of these apps but those 3 are the most widely supported. Once you download it on your device you can then download it onto your computer by going to their respective sites. These will automatically sync your documents over the air when both your computer and phone are connected to the internet. But if you have no internet service on your computer here is what you do; go to itunes and plug in your phone> go over to the APPS tab on the top> scroll to the bottom of the page and it will say file transfer. This will allow you to pull files from those cloud apps even without service and voila you have your files on your computer even without Wi-Fi or hotspots. I hope this helps!
    EDIT; the best app to use file transfer with is good reader because the cloud apps won't sync directly with iTUnes. You will have to pay for it but it will allow you to connect all your cloud services to it and it can edit and view most files. I use it constantly for my work and I wouldn't be able to live without it even if I wasn't using it for file transfer. Sorry I forgot that in my post, this is an necessity to use the file transfer in iTunes.

  • I have moved to i cloud and ical event is not allowing file attachment to be added

    I have set up icloud and now when I enter an event in Ical there doesn't appear to be a way to attach a file. I heve tried dragging the file over the event  editor as per help, but that doesn't work and there is not menu item for attachments that I can find.
    Surely this facility shoudl still be there.

    The attach feature works only on calendars OnMyMac. Alternatively you can add an URL to your file:
    open event and Edit it
    drag the file
    drop the file on URL field
    Press OK button
    When you click on URL link, folder containing  the file opens.

  • Blackberry Bridge with Proxy

    Hi,
    I'm using Blackberry Bridge with my Playbook and it works great for email when it's not connected to the Wifi, but when I connect to the corporate Wifi (which uses a proxy) the Bridge tries to use the Wifi for the Messaging (and other) applications. This causes problems as when you try to run the Messaging application you recieve a message similar to this from the corporate proxy server:
    Access Denied to http://127.0.0.2:187/messages
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? It would be nice if the bridge knew to always use the Bluetooth not the Wifi, or if there was an option in the Proxy settings to list exclusions from the proxy.
    Thanks,
    John

    Yep, exact same issue here.  I haven't found a work around for this as of yet, I'm also interested if anyone has a solution?
    For now, I've been unchecking the 'use HTTP proxy' in wifi setup so I can at least bridge with my BB for mail/calendar and the have limited ability to use the browser to navigate to company internal sites etc (that do not require proxy credential auth).  If I need to access the 'outside' with the PB browser, I've been manually editing the proxy server info on the PB.  (which subsequently kills the ability to send/rec mail etc)  Ugh...
    This is definitely not ideal, I'm hoping this is addressed/resolved in upcoming updates.  (preferably proxy auto-detect, but bridge simply ignoring the proxy settings would do the trick)

  • Private appointments in bridge calendar

    There doesn't seem to be any way to mark an appointment as private in the bridge calendar.  The option exists on the Blackberry, but not on the Playbook.  This is a useful feature when other people have access to your calendar (BES, Exchange server).

    Cheers,
    RandomHero, I appreciate that you're posting into a lot of different threads thanking us all for our feedback and telling us that you're constantly improving your products, but I would much rather see actual improvements to the product.  At the very least, it would be nice if RIM could actually let us know which improvements are being considered and how far down the line they are from actually being implemented.
    The Playbook is basically an overpriced toy for me right now.  I bought it because it was supposed to be a "professional grade" business tool but there is absolutely nothing on it that makes me more productive than just having my Blackberry phone.  I realize it's a new product and I'm willing to wait a little while for updates, but how long do I have to wait?  Are we talking weeks, months, years?
    It's been two weeks since I bought it already and all I've heard from RIM so far is "that feature is not supported on the Playbook" on several support calls and now a thank you from you.  I've heard from developers that they're waiting for a native development kit to be released so they can port their apps.  None of that is very encouraging to me.

  • 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
    Thanks.

  • Blackberry Bridge issues after update

    New to the forum and need help!
    I have a Torch 9810 and PlayBook
    Torch 9810 7.1 bundle 2061
    Blackberry Bridge 2.1.0.26
    PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1088
    BES is used
    The Bridge connects to the PlayBook and will allow remote control and bridge browser to be used. However, although the email, text and BBM alert icons appear on the PlayBook they cannot be opened. The Bridge contacts and calender will also not open on the Playbook.
    When attempting to open Text messages on the PlayBook the notice "Text Messages was disabled by IT policy" is displayed. There is no IT Policy in place.
    When attempting to open BBM on the PlayBook the notice "You must accept the BlackBerry Messenger Licence Agreement on your smartphone to use BBM on your PlayBook". It has been accepted on the phone.
    I've tried unpairing, rebooting both devices and repairing to no avail.
    Any ideas appreciated

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Contrary to your belief, there is indeed an IT Policy on the BB...the error message is quite clear on that point. While it is possible to check for an IT Policy via this procedure:
    KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
    it is also possible for there to be a "stealth" IT Policy, which gives no hint of its existence save for those error messages. If your BB truly is not now associated with any BES system, then there are procedures you can follow to cleanse it of the latent IT Policy (which could be there as a result of, sometime in its life, the BB being associated with BES...but not being properly cleansed when it was removed from BES...it's not an automatic process to remove the IT Policy). On the other hand, if your BB is associated with BES, then you need to talk to your BES admins for assistance as they control everything.
    To cleanse your BB, first take a full backup:
    KB12487 How to back up BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
    Next, take a manual inventory of all of your add-on apps, license keys, etc...this process will return your BB to a NIB state, and you will have to reinstall everything from scratch (and, before you ask, no there is no other way).
    Next, conduct this process:
    KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Now, get your BB properly running on your carrier network, by conducting the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. 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.
    Next, do a SELECTIVE restore from the backup you took earlier...do not do a wholesale restore, if you do, you will restore the offending IT Policy and be right back where you started. Skip over any databases that are not critical, especially those that have anything at all to do with IT Policy:
    KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
    KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list
    Now, reinstall all of your apps, reapply those license keys, and reconfigure to your preferred settings. With all of that, you should be cleansed of the IT Policy and should be able to perform the things you desire.
    Good luck!

  • Q5 with Blackberry bridge

    I have just upgraded from a 9360 to a Q5. I also have the tablet. While my 9360 shared my calendar and other things with the tablet the Q5 only shares bbm and texts. What have I done wrong?

    Hello campocath, 
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Are you able to see the BlackBerry Bridge application icon on your device home screen? If not, have you checked to see if it is hidden? You can press the menu button and select show all to unhide it. If you are able to locate it, try moving the BlackBerry Bridge application icon to the applications folder. Use this link http://blck.by/1g0TgHg to see instructions on page 197 on how to move application icons to a folder.
    Let us know if that helps.
    Thank you

  • Q10 blackberry bridge to playbook problem

    I have installed blackberry bridge on Q10 and playbook.  Successfully paired them up. However, on the playbook, i only see Calendar, BBM icons, but missing the email icon, which is the most useful one.  why please?
    when i had the blackberry curve, this was not a problem.  thanks

    Currently the only Bridge features available in the Bridge folder are SMS and BBM. You can't read the BB email on the Playbook any longer. You will need add the email account to the Playbook just as it's added to your Q10.
