First time Blackberry Used Pearl and can't get email working, please help

I have been wanting to try a blackberry for a long time, and was waiting for the Bold, but i got an opportunity to try the Pearl for a good price. I am with ATT and got it today, have the plan, but when I put in the PIN and IMEI it is registered to someone else, so how do i set up my email account?
ADDED:  I did get a blackberry.net email account created but the phone still has the other persons name listed below the icon and is linked to her, how do i change this?  Thanks again

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The reason you can't log in is that, when you had your carrier set up your GMail, they created a BIS account for you. Further, they created BIS credentials on that account -- which are then needed to access the BIS configuration screens even on the BB. You need those credentials. Contact whoever it is that set it up for you and have them tell you those credentials.
Good luck!

  • After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

    After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I.  We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat.  I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3.  What am I missing?

    HI,
    iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
    However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login.  (where people can Google Chat as it were in a  Web Browser).
    Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
    iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
    Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
    Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
    More on this here  This article has been changed several time in the recent months.  It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
    This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
    If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
    In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
    It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

  • It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help.

    I am a non profit.  I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC  for my office.  It is a download only.  It doesn't dowload on my computer.  It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me.  I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround.  What should I do to get it to run on my computer.  Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.

    64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has.  They are just limited to a small amount of memory.   If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
    You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
    Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer.   The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
    It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error.

    When i try to change my screen saver on my Mac 10.7.2, i hear a clicking noise on my computer and then it gets hung. Please help. Off late my computer is taking too long to open documents etc.

    If you hear a clicking noise, as in mechanical I'd be thinking along the lines of failing hard drive. Especially as you mention other problems.
    Boot from another disk if you have one and do a verify disk or use somethinglike Disk Warrior or Tech Tool.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer

  • TS1292 can not redeem itunes card ,  have tried to get help like 6 times nothing suggested via trouble shooting page has helped and can not get a person to help

    I can not get itunes card to work  says inactive.  have followed all trouble shooting and can not get through to support via email or phone

    If the card hasn't been activated properly then have you tried taking it back to the store that you bought it from and asking them to activate it properly ?
    How have you tried to contact iTunes Support ? You should be able to do so via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes. If that page doesn't load then have you tried clearing your browser's cache/history and/or tried a different browser ?

  • HT1420 how do i Deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    how do  i deauthorize a computer that has had the hard drive lock up and can not get it working

    You can only deauthorise individual computers directly on them. Otherwise if you've reached the 5 computer limit, then you should be able to log into your iTunes account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can only do once every 12 months) and you can then (re-)authorise up to 5 computers : authorising and deauthorising.

  • My iphone4 keeps shutting off on its own every 24-36 hours and I can't switch it back on unless I plug it into the charger n charge it. I didn't charge the iPhone for a long period the first time I used it and I charge it every night for at least 7 hours.

    My iPhone 4 shuts down automatically and I can't turn it back on unless I plug it into charger and charge it. This happens spontaneously. I didn't charge it for a long time before using it for the first time and I charge it nightly for at least 7 hours. What is the problem?
