My PlayBook not showing up on my PC?

Hello,
I got a PlayBook yesterday as a present from my dad and am lovin' it! But when I connected it to my PC today and followed the usual instructions, it still didn't work for me- the BB Desktop Software showed the details (such as name and OS) of the device, but wouldn't allow me to sync anything.
What I did:
I plugged in my PlayBook and istalled the drivers (by double-clicking the CD icon on My Computer and running Setup.exe).
I downloaded BB Destop Software and installed it (version 6.1.0.36).
I connected my PlayBook.
After I connect my PlayBook:
The BB Device Manager showed up, and listed my PlayBook under Connected Devices as BlackBerry PlayBook 50324AA2, and under that, the IPv4 address and time connected. Under the PlayBook entry, there's an expandable entry called "Volumes". It shows "Internal Volume Not Mounted" and every-time I right-click and select Mount, it won't mount (or even do anything else).
Under BB Desktop Software, I can't open up Files, Music, Video, Photos nor Backup. It just shows "A Problem Occurred While Attempting To Connect To Your BlackBerry Device".
I tried:
Starting the TCP/IP NetBios thing in Services (but it was already started).
Disabling my antivirus (AVG).
Reconnecting my PB several times.
Disabling Wifi and Bluetooth.
And my File Sharing is enabled on PB.
It doesn't even show up as a Network device.
So can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance..

Bought app in order to sync itunes with a blackberry playbook. Now Itunes will open on my computer but when i plug my ipods in to charge or sync, itunes is not showing that they are plugged in. Cant charge or anything!

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!

Loaded Docs, Pictures & Videos not showing up on Playbook

I used the desktop application to load pdf docs, picutures & videos. The Playbook shows the files are loaded due to storage space usage but the files are not showing up as accessible. Basically, they are somewhere in the memory but when I do a search - nothing shows up. Very frustrated ----- HELP!

I love the newrst version of files and folders.

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

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.

WhatsApp Profile Pictures Not showing

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 6 some of my contacts profile pictures are not showing and this is very annoying. Can anyone who knows how to fix this please advise.

For me, what is concerning is, a app which was working absolutely fine suddenly becomes problematic that also after one update!!! Then why the update was necessary??? Look at the app world review. Each and every playbook user is facing the same issue globally with FB app in Playbook?? How is it possible? That means, after releasing the update RIM has not gone through testing for a single time??? Hahaha.. They made a update, they wished to push it, they it. See, Facebook application comes handy lots of time, most of the FB user cannot ignore that. Browsers lags sometime, more over when you want to upload photos and videos driectly from your playbook the app is excellent. And I loved to use Playbook Facebook app.
It is fine that RIM is focused on BB10, besides that they also need to address this kind of issues specifically the Playbook FB app is developed by them only.

Playbook not recognized - recognized - then hung up during OS upgrade!!??!!

I followed the very long thread of comments/suggestions/etc. regarding the Playbook not being recognized by the Windows BB Desktop Manager software. I ended up turning off Bluetooth and WiFi on the PB and presto ... the PB was recognized!! That's the good part - the bad part is that DM decided my PB needed an OS upgrade (1.0.8.xx to 2.0.xx whatever). The new OS was downloaded via DM OK but the installation stalled about halfway (during sys.data.pbcd installation) and has been that way for an hour now. If I unplug or abort anything, I am afraid I will end up with an unusable PB - basically a paper weight.
Any suggestions ASAP???

I searched the entire community for the filename but only my message showed up. Thanks anyway aandras.
As it turns out, I took a chance and pressed the power button until the restart dialog came on then I restarted the PB. It restarted without problem so I tried re-installing OS 2. It hung up again but on a different file install - a clue! I repeated the procedure and it hung up again on the file listed in my original message. However, I tried to alter the amount of time I touched the screen so it would not go into standby mode (I set it to the max of 5 minutes). This led me to touch the screen often enough to prevent it from ever going into standby mode and presto - it worked and the upgrade succeeded.
Now I have the same "connect" problems everyone else is having with the new OS but at least it installed!!
Is there any way to turn off the intrusive standby mode? I could not find any, and the max time is 5 minutes - bad when you have a 20 minute download/install to do.

ITunes does not show up on apple tv 1st gen.

i have a 1st gen apple tv with the 160 gig HD. recently, it will not show the itunes site. Under teh movies tab there are my movies and trailers and that's it. Does anyone know how to get the itunes store back on apple tv?

Known issue currently, you'll need to wait for the fix.

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Internet Streams in Playlists do not show up on Apple TV

I use the following setup:
- Apple TV MD199LL/A (Software 6.0.1) just updated to the latest
- iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (from a Windows 7 x64)
- iTunes 11.1.3 for MAC (from a Apple MacBook Pro x64, Maverix)
Homesharing is turned on both computers
From both machines I share pictures, videos and music.
All photos, videos and music files are getting displayed on the Apple TV menu, and can be played.
All iTunes playlists from both machines are getting displazed on the Apple TV
BUT!
If a internet stream is added to a playlist, this entry does not show on the Apple TV menu.
If the playlist contains only internet streams the Apple TV menu says "There are no songs in this library"
If I hit the play key on my remote, it will randomly play the first stream in the playlist (not realy reproducable pattern)
I can play those streams in iTunes and send it via AirPlay without problems,
Can anyone help me with this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

Synced videos do not show up on iPod

Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
This is a fairly new problem. All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them. Searching for them yields no results.
The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition. Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail. I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device. I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date. The iPod software is up to date. I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod. I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos". Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
