MP3s on Blackberry Playbook
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help? My wife likes to listen to relaxation music on her Playbook before she drifts off to sleep at night. The problem is that she has to wake herself up in order to switch off the machine before she finally goes to sleep.
Has anyone ever come across MP3 player software suitable for the Blackberry platform which will play a designated folder of MP3 tracks and once finished automatically shutdown the tablet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
John.
After a maximum of 5 minutes of inactivity the PlayBook will go into Standby state. I personally do not turn off either of my PlayBook, I just let them go into standby and then all I need to do is a swipe from top to bottom or left to right to wake it
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

Change ringtones in Blackberry Playbook
Hi,
I wanted to change the Ringtone when a new email comes or when setting Alarms.But there is no option present in the blackberry playbook to change the ringtone.It only plays some default tones.
I want to changed the ringtone to MP3 of my choice.Is there any way to do it in Playbook? I am using the latest version 2.0.1.358 .This is a very basic thing and should have been present in the Playbook...Hello bipasasahu and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question regarding the notification tones on the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet.
Currently, changing the notification tone is unsupported. Only the one default tone is available for notification.
Hope this answers your question.

Obviously not too smart with all this technology. I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook. However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in. It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected! I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now? Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation? Please help!

Trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. It says I need OS6. Is that a free update or do I have to buy a whole new operating system? Just want to download some music to the playbook. Also, is it possible to use a iTunes card directly to the playbook and bypass the Mac? Thanks for any info you can provide.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

"Unable to Open" PDF attachment using BlackBerry PlayBook when message is received from Exchange 03
Hello,
Recently I have found that some users are having an issue with opening PDF attachments on the BlackBerry PlayBook using their Exchange 2003 accounts.
I have isolated the issued to only users on Exchange 2003 using activesync.
To resolve/workaround you can select and hold the attachment until you have the option to "Open" or "Save As". Select "Save As" and rename the attachment to the same name but include .pdf at the end of the file name. This allow the attachment to open in Adobe and show the PDF document in the email message correctly.
Messages where being recieved as .null attachments with same file name but no extension.
Hope this helps anyone.Use this FM CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

Approximately 2 weeks ago my BlackBerry PlayBook shut down on me (after only one months of use). Anyhow, last Saturday (July 30th, 2012) I handed it back into Harvey Normans (the place where I purchased it from) for them to send it away to get repaired and the man that I gave it to said: "your tablet should be fixed in a week to a week and a half".
Anyhow, I rang them today and they said that my PlayBook was still at the Harvey Normans Office waiting for BlackBerry to come and pick it up (so much for the week to a week and a half)!! The other thing that the Harvey Normans lady said today was that repairs can be up to 4 weeks (well this is NOT what I was told when me and my girlfriend took it in to get sent away for repairs)!!
Anyhow, it is only early days yet but I just want my BlackBerry PlayBook fixed so I can start using it for work again like I always have!! It is soooo frustrating not having my BlackBerry PlayBook here especially seeing as I am so reliant on it for work purposes!! (I am even considering buying another PlayBook as a back-up but my girlfreind advised to just wait until my old one is fixed and go from there!! Anyhow, only time will tell how I go with the repair!!
Boxy7I'm guessing the retailer forgot to call straight away - my PlayBook repair was swift when I dealt directly with RIM.

A total beginner with Blackberry Playbook
Hello
Someone got me a Blackberry Playbook, I certainly accepted the gift even though I wasn't sure what one of these was!
However since i got it, I am struggling to connect to wifi?> How can i fix this problem?. I have phoned up the support line which isnt much use,
I cant get past the connecting to wifi screen?
Without me sounding stupid.
Do you need to have this playbook plugged in at home near a computer?. Or is it portable? For example, can i take this round with me anywhere i go?
Or do i need to be near a wifi connection, totally confused havent got a clue whats going on
If anyone can help me (and boy i need help )> that would be great
If someone could also tell me how the playbook works what it does? i really dont have a clue!Greetings and welcome to the community support forums!
Here are some links to help you setup and use your Playbook and learn more about it.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/tablets/playbook/get-started.html
That will help you connect to WiFi.
You don't need to be connected to a PC to use the Playbook, but if you need to be connected to the internet, you will need a Wifi connection, unless your model is a 4g model which connects over the air though a SIM card to your mobile network.
After reviewing the link above, come back and feel free to ask specific questions!

BlackBerry PlayBook and Internet Explorer?
I am a small business owner and Mac user. My business, however, uses a website that works only with Internet Explorer. In the past I have needed to have a small notebook PC in order to access the site and it is time to get a new computer.
I really would like to check out the new BlackBerry PlayBook and will definitely buy one tomorrow (or Tuesday?) IF it is possible to use IE on it! I really don't want to spend the money for a PC which would be used only for one purpose (I use my iMac for all other computer needs and my BlackBerry 9780 Bold for a phone. Microsoft stopped supporting Macs after version 5 or 6 of IE so that is the ONLY reason I have a PC.)
Oh please please PLEASE tell me that IE will be compatible with the new tablet!?
Anybody know? If not, might as well get an iPad -AND a new notebook PC -AND a new iMac, right?

Do you know why ? There are only two reasons:
either the website uses ActiveX scripts, and in that case you are out of luck
or the webmaster is simply lazy to convert the website to the W3 and ECMA standards, and in that case you can try and convince them. Once that is done, your website will work on any browser including Safari, Opera, MozillaFirefox and InternetExplorer.

Internet Explorer is currently available for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows Mobile, excluding all other operating systems.

Issues with Blackberry Playbook not being recognised by Windows Explorer
Hello, I'm new to the forums but am having the same problems as many others are, that being my Playbook not regonised by Windows Explorer. I have tried all of the solutions I have read like unistalling Desktop Manager, uninstalling then re-installing drives in Windows Device Manager. But one I recently stumbled across was uninstalling Blackberry Device Manager, how do I do this?
Also the main problem appears to be that my Playbook will not sync anything with my computer. In Desktop Manager I can back-up my Playbook, but not sync anything. After re-installing a drive I now get the message of: 'Your Blackberry device is not compatible with this feature' whereas before I got the message of: 'You haven't configured any sync methods' but yet all of the sync options were greyed out.
How do I get Windows Explorer to recognise my Playbook as a drive and how can I sync in Desktop Manager?
Thanks in advance!
Note: I'm using Windows 7 32-BitHello Tobster_,

No Direct support for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet - why not I just bought it?
I've just bought a playbook. It says it comes with complimentary technical support for 90 days form the date of purchase. I have attempted to register the device using the S/N number as required and I get the following:
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however, get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion.
Why? grrrrrrrrrrrrIt should be. The complimentary support is just for help setting it up.
If you visit http://blackberry.com/support and follow the link for PlayBook you should get a phone number you can call, and RIM support will be able to help you.

BlackBerry PlayBook battery power charge, discharge characteristics, and guidance on extending battery life
KB27705
Overview
The BlackBerry PlayBook may come to a power state where it is unable to power on; a Yellow LED may flash in a sequence of 5 flashes, the BlackBerry PlayBook may boot up to the BlackBerry PlayBook Logo and then power off, may not power on at all.
Discharge behavior under normal use:
Under normal active use, a battery drained to 10% will cause the device to prompt the BlackBerry PlayBook user (notification and audible beep)
Without connecting a charger the device will automatically shut down at 3.53V (0%)
Pressing the power button may allow successful boot, but it will turn off again very quickly
Discharge behavior under no use:
A device left unused but in ‘Stand By’ will warn the BlackBerry PlayBook user at 10% (notification and audible beep)
The warning may not be noticed and the device will go back to ‘Stand By’
Letting the device drain in standby mode drains the battery slower, but more completely
Device will still shut off at 3.53V (0%), but it less likely to successfully boot afterwards
Discharge behavior under 3.53V (0%):
If the device is left to shutoff, the battery will continue to drain below 3.53V due to quiescent current draw from the motherboard and the battery fuel gauge
With the battery between 2.7V-3.53V, pressing the power button causes the LED to flash a pattern (1 solid red light followed by 5 yellow blinks) to indicate low battery (PlayBook Tablet OS version 1.0.5, and above)
Below 2.7V there is no activity, or LED pattern displayed
Charge Behaviour:
The provided charger should be used to charge the device. The optional 12 volt rapid charger is may reduce charging times
to approximately 3 to 4 hrs. Standard Blackberry smartphone chargers, other AC adapter USB chargers, or computer USB ports
are not recommended for the sole purpose of charging the PlayBook as with these methods it may take more that 12 hours to
charge the BlackBerry Playbook.
If the battery voltage is below 3.53V(0%) then the charging behaviour is dependent on the software version. The charging code will limit the charging current to under 400 milliamps, during which time, it may take an hour to reach 3.53 Volts. Once the battery voltage rises past 3.53 volts, then "high-rate" charging will start. If, after charging the Tablet for 4 to 6 hours still does not result in LED activity, attempt to force power on the BlackBerry Playbook by pressing and holding only the Power Button for only 20 seconds.
Prior to BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
A BlackBerry PlayBook will never charge while powered off in BlackBerry Tablet OS versions prior to 1.0.5.
The device will show a red light when the charger is connected and then nothing more
Repeated connection of the charger can recover the device in some instances.
Once the battery voltage rises above 3.53V the system will boot and the UI will show charging
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.5:
The device will show a solid red LED, followed by a solid yellow LED as the device boots into charging mode. This is followed by a yellow pulsating LED indicating charging in progress.
The time span between the red and yellow lights can be as long as 45 seconds as the device boots into charging mode.
Once the yellow LED illuminates, the device can be started, but it is advisable to let it charge for at least 3.5 hours to achieve a sufficient charge.
The device will show a solid green LED once the device is fully charged.
Starting in BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.0.1:
Once the yellow LED begins pulsating indicating charging mode, if the BlackBerry PlayBook is disconnected from the charger, the following graphic will be displayed on the screen, indicating charging is not complete, and to reconnect the power source. The graphic will be displayed for 20 seconds before the BlackBerry® PlayBook powers off if the power source is not reconnected. The same graphic will also be displayed if the BlackBerry PlayBook is turned on and there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process.
If the BlackBerry PlayBook is plugged into a power source, and the power button is pressed to power on the device, the following graphic will be displayed if there is not sufficient power to perform the boot process. If this occurs, the BlackBerry PlayBook should be left plugged in to gain enough charge to boot.
Additional Information
Turning off the BlackBerry PlayBook and using standby mode.
Checking the battery power levelOn the status bar, tap the battery icon. When the battery power level is low, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will display a notification.
Enter standby modePress the Power button on the top of the BlackBerry PlayBook..
Exit standby modeSwipe down from the top frame to the bottom frame
Turn off the BlackBerry PlayBookPress and hold the Power button. Tap Shut Down.
To extend the BlackBerry PlayBook battery life, charge it regularly, close unused applications and keep the BlackBerry Playbook out of the sun and other hot places. The following may also be used to extend battery life:
Dim the screenOn the status bar, tap the Options icon (a gear), select the Screen tab and change the Brightness setting
Turn off the screen automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Backlight Time-out field
Enter standby mode automaticallyOn the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the Screen tab and change the Standby Time-out field
Turn off Wi-Fi when not in useOn the status bar, tap the Wireless icon and set the Wi-Fi switch to Off
Turn off Bluetooth connectivity when not in use
On the status bar, tap the Bluetooth icon and set the Bluetooth switch to Off
Pause apps when you show the home screen or switch between apps On the status bar, tap the Options icon, select the General tab and set the Application Behavior switch to Paused
With the upgrade to PlayBook OS 2.1.0.1032 the following message may be displayed when connecting the Playbook to a PC using the micro-USB cable:
Unable to charge battery with connected source
This message is displayed because the voltage provided is insufficient for charging. The USB voltage is limited to 384mA even if the maximum tolerance is 500mA. The voltage is limited to 384mA by design to avoid violating the USB specification which states USB devices cannot draw more than 500mA from the USB port.TroyTempest wrote:

Adobe Reader for the BlackBerry PlayBook Showstopping Issue: App does not start
Hello;
I would like to report an issue with the Adobe Reader app for the BlackBerry PlayBook which renders the application fully unusable. This issue occurs everytime. This issue has been tested and verified to occur in two distinct BlackBerry PlayBook devices.
Here is a screenshot stating what version (10.0.3.325) of the Adobe Reader app I have installed:
This, I understand, is the latest version for my platform. Unfortunately, the application does not start. Attempting to run it results in a blank screen after showing the BlackBerry logo. The blank screen can be seen in the following screenshot:
It is also strange that the application does not appear in the Application Permissions list, as seen in the following screenshot:
Is there a fix for this showstopping issue? What steps should I take?Same issue here. Playbook support knows about it, and referred to Adobe. The Adobe forum has this comment. Looks like our Playbooks are abandoned as a platform.
"Mar 4, 2012 7:20 PM
As the tablet market continues to evolve, we continue to evaluate how to best support the market and where to focus on our resources. Because of this, Adobe has decided to end its support of the RIM QNX Playbook devices in March 2012. This means the ability to create new applications for submission to the RIM store will no longer be possible in Adobe Viewer Builder as well as the ability to rebuild existing targets for new releases of Digital Publishing Suite. Any existing QNX targets will be removed from the manage view inside Viewer Builder". -
