Newcomer - Hello - my first problem....

I have my first blackberry. A curve 8520 v5.0.0.681. with Virgin Mobile.
I seemed to have managed to connect to my wi-fi home network as i have the relevant icons on the home screen.
But for some mad reason windows 7 on my laptop does not find or 'discover' my blackberry when I come to add a device. I realize this is probably more a windows problem but i have had no success in windows forums...hoping for help here at Blackberry ?

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Community Support Forums.
Have you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Software to the laptop?
Can you try using a different USB port on the laptop?

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

    My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
    Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
    After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

    Depending on the size of the app or the connection speed when using Wi-Fi it could take a little longer to download. You can also try to download it onto your computer, might be faster, and sync it to the phone after that.

  • Hello, i have problem to update my apps on my ipad

    Hello, i have problem to update my apps on my ipad when i bought it was registered with email of seller which is lost later and ehrn i created my own apple id i cannot update my apps with it because it keeps asking me infos seller email please help me to  update my apps ...regards
    <Email Edited By Host>

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? You could try tapping on it and then log back in and then see what id shows for the updates.
    But any apps that were downloaded by the previous owner will be tied to their account, and only their account will be able to download updates to those apps - you will need to delete and buy and download them with your own account to be able to download future updates to them.

    Thank you

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    and look in the folder named Auto Import.  Move any files in that folder to a folder on the Desktop and close the package. Do not make any other changes.  Launch iPhoto (the message should be gone) and drag the folder on the Dersktop into the open iPhoto window to import them.

    Usually this error occurs when trying to downgrade the iOS or in a previously jailbroken phone.  In this case, you cannot get help here.  The internet and Google are your best friends.

    Thermaltake Xaser Tsunami Black
    Ok well i found a problem on the forum that was exactly the same as i my first problem and it can be found here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=88454.0
    but at the end of his problem he returned his graphics card and that was the problem.. but his wasnt playing any games.. i can play
    Tom Clancys Raven Shield without any problems.. but recently i got a new game called Sniper Elite. but i have had nothing but trouble with this. i have used the latest ATI drivers. then got the latest Omega Drivers.. i changed my memory voltage to the reccomended 2.7v.. but basically what happens is i can play the game for 5,10,15 mins and all of a sudden it just crashes i hear a horrible loud screech.. then a blue screen and it restarts my computer. i have even updated my bios to the latest 1.9 i believe.. the same problem. it didnt change anything..
    so anyone have any ideas?
    ok second problem has also been brough up here on the forum
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=88874.0
    ive updated to the latest drivers for this alos using the live update feature.. basically im on the internet.. but the funny thing is is that i have not made any connection in the network setting.. its crazy it just picks up the connection through the ethernet.. even when i do make a connection its not showing up in my network places properties.. as i have two computer inthe house i want to make a small home or office network but it wont let me make that it says that i have no hardware installed which i do.. im on the internet now on my new machine posting this.. makes no sense.. so any help would be greatly apprectiated..
    i am using Windows XP Professional with SP2 and latest updates...
    here are some screen shots of my ipconfig /all and the message i get when i try to make a small office or home network
    Thanks
    Mark / Insaniac
    Trying to Make a small home or office network
    Ipconfig /all

    The crash and loud screech is something I produce also occasionally.
    But then it's memory related,after I flashed a new bios I had the same screech and found my memory settings were changed somewhat.
    So first advice is to shut down power,unhook the power plug,and find the sw switch on your mainboard if it exsists.Keep it pressed for several seconds to reset the cmos (which contains the bios settings) or remove the cmos battery to have the same effect.
    After putting back the power on your machine the bios should autodetect most settings allowing you to enter it and make some more changes.I would leave all memory settings on auto and would not recommend to use the bios default option or the bios optimized option.
    As for the rest you can set the nvraid or sil raid and ide configuration(disable what you don't have or the pc will shout about it at you).
    Ati cat5.10 can produce some errors on certain machines,so try 5.7 for stability.
    For networking through your lan connector you have to go in to the properties and select the third tab,advanced,disable the middle option that lets you share,you can't do this with only one network device.After that you have to make the proper settings in the wizard.
    Now the easiest way out of this is to buy a cheap 10/100mbit ethernet card and put it in a pci slot.You will have two devices now,1 for internet and the other for sharing to the second pc.
    I suggest this since I assume you want to share data between the 2 computers and this is the cheapest way.Otherwise you can get a router for internet sharing.
    Ignore the windows warnings,they tell you something dramatically while it often is something simple.
    Also make sure you completely uninstall your previous drivers for videocard.
    When you get things stable you can try speeding up things like 1T for memory etc.
    Now I don't have the same board but I believe it's almost identical,with some extra features like 2 network devices.But the rest should be the same.Also bios 1.9 for my board produced errors for many users already,check this forum if your board suffers from this also,if you use the same bios files as I do you should go back to 1.6 which seems to be the most stable so far,except for the older files,but then you lack some x2 core cpu support and some usb problems,in short,some little nags in those biosses.
    Goodluck..
    ps. where you can place a sig(like a picture) you can type the computer specs.Now instead of a picture we can read your specs.

  • Hello. First time I meet that : I've lost the copy by dragging (while pressing "alt") function ????

    20 years using illustrator and for the first time, I don't know why but it suddenly became impossible to copy an object by dragging it while pressing "alt". And I've lost the dragging along the grid locking by maintaining caps pressed... Help !!!
    Any idea of what to do?

    this can be caused by certain apps interfering with the modification keys. Firefox is one example.
