My App World froze before download even started, Help Please?

I have a BlackBerry Bold 9780.
I decided today to spend $4.99 to purchase Final Fantasy II. I went through the payment method, and when the app world was supposed to begin the download, the "Please Wait" Notification froze, I pressed the power off button to see if it was just App world that froze, but it was my entire phone. I removed the battery, powered up, and went back to my app world to download my $5 app. But it wont let me. It appears in the application list, when I select it, there is no Purchase Icon, or Download Icon. When I went to "My World" it didn't appear in my "Installed" application list, but it appears in my "Uninstalled" Application list...and it wont let me re-download it.
How can I fix this?? It'll be very upsetting if my phone just shafted me outta $5.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3. Follow one (and only one!) of these steps:
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
3c. For newer (e,g., OS6 and 7) BB's, see this KB:
KB24714 How to clear the BlackBerry App World cache
4. AppWorld should close.
5. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
6. Return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it may be sluggish while it re-synchronizes).
If step (4) does not happen as listed, then the clear cache did not work.
Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • Problem with downloading apps. "Unable to download application" error.Help please!

    I'm having a major issue with updating or downloading apps. They won't download! I try to download an app, it's says "waiting", then it looks like it's about to download. Then, suddenly, the "loading"  bar gets halway filled, then it goes back to saying "waiting". This cycles about three or so times and then I get this message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time" with choices to be "done" or "retry".
    I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this. I tried pausing the download and restarting, I tried soft and hard resets, I tried signing out and back into the App Store, I tried resetting my settings, I tried restoring the phone as a new iPhone, nothing works! I am at my wits end! I have an appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow, but I'm hoping someone here can help me so I won't have to keep that appointment.  I've tried searching for my problem in the forums but none of the results are like mine. Could someone please help?
    EDIT: I also tried checking the iTunes queue. No purchases are stuck in the queue.

    Just wanted to update, since I can no longer edit my original post. I tried disabling bluetooth. That didn't do any good, either.

    I can't find the imessages app on my ipod touch. can u help please?

    - Try using the Spotlight search. It is likely you just can't find it.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Last, restore the iPod.

  • HT1725 I downloaded two albums yesterday and only half of each of the songs have downloaded when I play them. There is nothing to say it is waiting for the rest to download and I have checked for available downloads...help please!

    I downloaded two albums yesterday and only half of each of the songs have downloaded when I play them. There is nothing to say it is waiting for the rest to download and I have checked for available downloads...help please!

    no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

  • BB 8220: App World can't download and Facebook App stopped working!

    Good day!
    I have a BB Pearl Flip running on OS4.6.0.155 and everything seems to be working just fine: the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even my apps but suddenly, while I'm surfing the net using my BB (via Wi-Fi), my FB app stopped responding and I thought there was just a limited connection but since then I can't access my FB app anymore wherever hotspot I go. It's just stuck on the loading page but I have my Twitter app working though. And in another event, I am trying to download the BlackBerry App World in my BB but it failed because of some error. I also tried downloading the FB app v. 1.9 (since I have a v. 1.7 only) but also failed. What seems to be causing these problems? And why can't I download BB App World (as well as any BB apps) anymore whereas I've downloaded my Twitter app before and it worked successfully?
    It's bad enough that I can't upgrade my OS to version 5 but do I have to suffer being denied of access to my FB app and other downloadable apps on the BB site?
    Help me please.

    Hey theartistBB,

  • App world locked on download

    I tried to update my Twitter app today and got an error (typical on a brand new update due to traffic). Anyway, something happened and now app world is locked on "downloading" status for the Twitter update and I can't cancel it. I let it sit for about an hour and I don't get a timeout or anything. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello moze229,
    Remove your battery for 10 seconds. Reinsert your battery and after the reboot cycle completes, go to My World within App World and click on Twitter to start the update.

  • How can u stop an app that froze during download?

    My son turned off the wifi and turned it back on and hit the home button and quickly went back to the app and held it down before it could start recognizing the download and deleted the app.  You must be quick. 

    And what is your question after sharing that story with us????

  • App World -- unable to download paid applicatio​ns

    I'm a curve 9380 user from Turkey. I recently tried to buy an application from the App World. There was a error message: "There was a problem connecting to the payment system. Your transaction has not been processed. Please try again later (Error Id: 13000)" ..... However, according to my credit card account, the price was succesfully claimed by the RIM services. And I can't download the application. How can I solve this problem?

    You may not have the latest version of app world installed.  Head over to
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/appworld/do​wnload.jsp
    to install / reinstall the latest version.

  • Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded onmy phone Help!

    Downloaded apps using my iphone, now I want to sync my phone on my computer, but don't want to lose the apps that I've downloaded on my phone Help!

    Connect the phone to your computer, but do not sync. Make sure iTunes is authorized to the same account that you bought the apps with. Then select "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. Once this finishes the apps will be on your computer, so you can sync safely.

  • Blackberry App world showing "An error has occurred. Please try again later."

    Hey, I recently had my phone 'repaired' but they just gave me a new phone. I cannot get on the app world anymore. I went to 'The Geek Squad' In the Carphone Warehouse but they weren't very helpful and just said to go on a website (They didn't know which) and do some things that I can't remember. They said I have to convert my sim to something but I don't what either. Please help! ♥ 

    Hey,
    If the instructions in the knowledgebase did not help at all and your timezone and time are correct. I would try removing the battery while the device is ON.
    If that still does not work and your stuck with the AppWorld error you can go into your Advanced Options. Click Host Routing Table. Press the menu key and click Register Now.
    If after all this you are still stuck you can try performing a full backup / restore through BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
    Hope this helps,

  • Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help please.

    Hi iPad 2 apps are not opening? Can anybody help me please.

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Error when starting iTunes... will not start. help please!!

    so earlier I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was having trouble installing it. I downloaded it a while ago when it was version 4 but I completely deleted it and installed version 7.
    eventually I got it to work, however when I went to start it I got an error saying that it encountered a problem and needs to close. then another one comes up saying that it generated problems and I need to restart the program. I did, and the same thing happened.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire thing 3 times; same error. I called Apple Support and they said they couldn't help me b/c I am operating in Windows XP, and Microsoft's support is closed right now. I tried repairing it and nothing works. can anyone help please??

    hmmmm. okay, if your itunes.exe is running continually in Task Manager, that suggests that you don't have the Qoologic problem that Ewido fixes. (with that one, the itunes.exe typically just shows up for a few seconds, if at all ... although in some cases of multiple malware infections, it hangs around for 10 to 30 seconds.)
    so let's check on the usual suspects when itunes.exe persists in Task Manager.
    if you've got Norton Internet Security 2005, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    ... but if you don't have NIS 2005, or it doesn't seem to work for you, let's also check up on this possibility:
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
