No back-up, no app world, no joy

Even prior to most reen update I have been nable to access App World. "can't connect to. Server and installation error errors when trying to update existing apps or downloading a new app. Thinking that I would do a factory restore I tried to back-up, received errors saying unable to back-up. Numerous reinstall of desk top, reboots of moem and router, etc. No joy. No problem accessing anything else on web, eerything else is fully functional.
ANY SUGGSTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Trouble with App World!! :(

hi all, bascially whem i attempt to download apps through the App store, it tell me to log in with my blackberry ID which i do amd it then takes me to a white page with my account details on and i cant go any further... i return to the featured view and click download but the same thing happens! so i cant download/update anything.
any help will be muchly appreciated

In many cases the BlackBerry ID has not been created successfully and therefore will not let you past that screen.... go to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid and try to create a new BlackBerry ID , and then log in from the device.
Still others have been sucessful by editing to allow ALL permissions for App World.
* Go to Options/Settings > Advanced Options > Applications, (you will see your list of all your apps on your BlackBerry)
* Sroll down to BlackBerry App World, > Click the Menu key > Edit Permissions, and change everything to allow and save it.
Now go back to your App World login and see if it works.

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!

Backing up and restoring app data of an App World (BlackBerry World) app

I'd like to do a security wipe on my old Bold 9700 and then reinstall/restore an App World (BlackBerry World) app that I purchased with the same BlackBerry ID.
1. Can I reinstall an app via App World after a security wipe?
2. WIll the app data (e.g. game scores) be restored?
3. I did a full back up with BDS7, if reinstalling the app on a security wiped phone does not reinstate the app data, can I retrieve the app data by restoring the app from the backup?
4. What about copying the .rem files of the App World folder of the app to my computer, reinstalling the app via App World and then copying the .rem files back to the Blackberry? Or is there another location I should look for the app data?
Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
HandsomeP wrote:
2. WIll the app data (e.g. game scores) be restored?
That I'm not sure of...it likely depends on how the scores are stored. If they are stored on the device, then it might be able to re-obtain that information after you reinstall the app. Likewise, if they are stored on some server somewhere, it might be able to do so. But there's really no way for anyone but the app developer to know for sure. If I were you, I'd prepare myself for those being lost as a result of this activity.
HandsomeP wrote:
3. I did a full back up with BDS7, if reinstalling the app on a security wiped phone does not reinstate the app data, can I retrieve the app data by restoring the app from the backup?
Maybe -- again, it depends on how the app works, which only the app developer can say. Some apps store data in AppMemory (which is what gets backed up), others store their data in Device or Media Card Memory (which is not necessarily backed up). And it may well be moot anyway, depending on how the developer coded the app.
HandsomeP wrote:
4. What about copying the .rem files of the App World folder of the app to my computer, reinstalling the app via App World and then copying the .rem files back to the Blackberry? Or is there another location I should look for the app data?
Same issue...it all depends on how the developer coded the app. If the coded it to ignore any stored data anywhere each time the app is installed, then you can't force it to read anything, regardless of where you might restore it to. But, again, only the developer of the app can tell you what will happen in these circumstances.
Cheers!

Deleted App World and Can't Get It Back; Bold 9930

This started yesterday when my app world was constantly freezing trying to download an app. I read online to simply delete and reinstall the app world.
Upon deleting it and attempting to reinstall I got the error message "Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor.
The "MIDlet-Name" attribute is missing."
I have no idea what this means. Trying to look into it, reading through other peoples scenerios, I saw something that I thought would've maybe worked. Downgrading to OS 7.0.
I tried doing this via Desktop Manager to no avail. I then looked into wiping the OS from the device and reinstalling. Which didn't work either and almost bricked my phone.
I'm now back at OS 7.1 and still without the Blackberry World receiving the same error message.
I've tried battery pulls several times, soft resets, hard resets, everything I can think of.
H E L P M E P L E A S E!!! I love my Blackberry, but this is driving me to switch to another device.

Hi
Can you try now and let me know if you are still encountering trouble? Thanks!

You can't delete any of the pre-installed apps. If not restricted, Go to: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

Help- 5 yr old messed with the settings and now App world will not open....

My lovely daughter decided to mess with the settings. Not being able to read- she just did a bunch of touching pictures... JOY... now when I go to open App WOrld it tells me "Blackberry App works is not currently available in your country". We are in America, and the other PLaybook in the house still functions as per normal.
Any ideas what my 5 yr old pressed????

If you backed the Playbook up on your PC using the Desktop Manager software, you should be able to easily restore it.
You can also do a wipe on it, and then re-initilaize it back to its birthday.

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Please help urgently - can't download App World

Dear all,
I posted yesterday about how I've lost access to WhatsApp on my Blackberry Z10. I'm a lecturer and use WhatsApp to communicate with my students so it is urgent that I get back on ASAP. I could not get the application to update or download so I deleted it but that has not helped. The root problem seems to be that App World is gone from my BB, and I can't get it back either.
I have tried several methods of downloading App World and none of them work.
1. If I enter the URL appworld.blackberry.com in the browser on my BB, I get the error "Unable to open appworld://"
2. If I visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download as instructed on the BB website, it states:
"Simply visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download from your smartphone to download. Or, enter an email address that’s integrated with your BlackBerry smartphone below and click submit to have a download link sent to you."
When I enter the URL www.blackberry.com/appworld/download in my BB browser it simply refreshes the same page with the same instructions.
3. If I enter the email address integrated with my BB, it sends me an email with the following URL in it:
http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/entry.do?code=appworld
Currently, entering this URL on my PC or in my BB yields an "HTTP Status 500" exception report. Previously (last night), the same URL was giving the following instruction: "Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your Blackberry." But I was using the browser on my BlackBerry and not a USB connection.
4. Searching around the web desperately for a workaround, I found a suggestion to download BlackBerry App World directly from the web at this link. However, when I downloaded this file to my BB and tried to open it, it just said "Unable to open file".
I'm now out of ideas! Please help.

Hi @tom-81030
Thats strange! To confirm, what happens if tyou open BlackBerry World and search for WhatsApp?
This should allow you to see WhatsApp and provide a Install option (link).
If searching for the app doesnt produce any results, try scanning the following QR Code using BlackBerry World on your device. To do this, open BlackBerry World, swipe down from the top of your screen and tap Scan Barcode.
Let me know if this helps!

Can no longer login to Blackberry App World or get a password reset, please help!

I cannot login to My Blackberry App World on https://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/login/
I have entered my email and password but it is rejected.
When I ask for a password reset I am prompted to answer a security question. The security question I am given is one I have never set, so I do not know what the answer is meant to be!
Consequently I cannot get a password reset so am unable to access My Blackberry App World, either on my phone or on a pc.
What has happened to my account and why can I no longer log in..?

Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
Issue resolved.

Error - Blackberry App World Is Not Working

Hello plz I really need an urgent help please. For weeks now my blackberry app world is not opening. It's giving me this message. ( an error has occurred and blackberry world will be close. Try waiting few minutes and reopen blackberry world) please what can I do so I can open my BlackBerry world again. Plz help me. Am using a Z10 and u can't delete it and reinstall it

Although this is an old thread, I encountered this error message a couple of days ago on both my old Q10 and new Classic. After I verified that the BlackBerry World website was not down, I searched for a solution.
The BB tech rep told me to turn off the WiFi and try to connect over the data connection. It worked. Then she told me to turn off Data Services and try to connect over WiFi. It worked.
After fits and starts, the solution was simple: Turn off and WiFi and turn it back on again.
I hope this helps others.

App World Inaccessible - Error Message "App World has been blocked"

Dear All,
I recently purchased a Sprint-branded Blackberry Curve 9350 (in excellent condition) off of Amazon, and all of the phone is entirely functional, except that every time I try to access the Blackberry App World I receive a pop-up message reading "App World has been blocked".
Initially, when I switched my pre-existing Sprint line to my new Curve, the phone was entirely wiped and reset. I began using the various functions and only a few days later realized that I cannot access App World. I spoke to several Sprint representatives and over the course of a few days took the following steps, all without any success:
De-installed and reinstalled App World
Did a Batt-pull with the phone on, de-installed and reinstalled App World, and did another Batt-pull
Hooked connected the phone to my laptop and de-installed App World via Blackberry Desktop Manager
As I purchased the phone over Amazon, I don't believe warranty protection applies. However, it seem incongruous that all of the other applications and functionality of the phone work, with the sole exception of App World.
Could someone please suggest steps to remedy the problem and make App World accessible?
Also, could someone please advise whether I can bypass the App World app and install Blackberry apps onto the Curve directly via Blackberry Desktop Manager and, if so, what the steps to do that are?
Many thanks in advance,
Colby

Hello,
From that description, I suspect a latent IT Policy is on your BB that is blocking AW. Normally, the error message would say more than what you reported, and that would be more indicative...but this is my guess from what you provided.
To cleanse it, you actually have several things you need to do...starting with checking to see if this is indeed the case:
KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
Sadly, there also are also rare situations with "stealth" IT Policies that exist, but do not actually display as such via the above. Again, the complete error message may have provided a better hint about this issue.
Nevertheless, I believe you need to conduct certain steps anyway, especially given your method of procurement. Refer:
KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
While it sounds as if someone did or had you do much of this, I think you need to review it to be sure. Further, none of those WIPE methods would actually have removed an IT Policy from the BB. Rather, you need to perform the ResetToFactory process, which I recommend you do instead of (or in addition to) the WIPE that the KB recommends:
KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
In addition, you need to be careful if you've already placed data onto the BB that you need to retain. You can backup/restore your device before/after these WIPEs, but you need to be careful when you restore...do not do a full restore, or you will simply put the offending IT Policy back on board. Rather, do a selective restore of only the databases you require, and being 100% sure to avoid any databases that have anything at all to do with IT Policy:
KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list
Lastly...given this situation, it is entirely possible that there are further challenges with this specific BB. For example, if the BIS account is locked due to the BB being previously reported as lost or stolen, there will be nothing you can do about that, and you will never be able to have full services. But Orange certainly should be able to tell you if this is the case.

These methods exist:
KB14473 How to install an application on a BlackBerry smartphone using the BlackBerry Desktop Software
KB04670 Install a third-party application with the Application Loader
KB28715 How to Install applications from BlackBerry App World using a computer system
However, there is no way to know if the IT Policy will also block these methods.
Good luck and let us know!
