1. No, and I don't know if or when.
2. Not that I know of. RIM rarely releases change logs with its upgrades.
Good luck.

FLASHING PLAYBOOK BRIDGE MESSAGES BUG GRRR AGAIN

Ok, this is the second or third time I have had to wipe and reinstall the OS on both my phone and playbook.
What is happening is when i try to open the messages app on the blackberry playbook bridge messages is it will open and then close, then reopen repeatedly. Open, close, open, close indefinitely. This seems to have started after I added music to my bold 9700 yesterday via USB. I suspect that the USB connect, disconnect process is corrupting files on the phone or playbook. If corrupt OS files are the culprit, a subroutine that identifies corrupt files in the bridge system and then works with RIM software update servers to identify, repair, and replace the corrupt files over the internet would be much better than an entire wipe. I have seen USB corrupt many files on many devices, during the attach and eject process.
Bridge messages seems to work fine and then something is causing it to fail.
EITHER WAY, IDENTIFY THIS BUG IN THE BRIDGE AND RELEASE A FIX, IF YOUR NEW BB 10 COMES OUT WITH BUGS LIKE THIS IT WILL BE VERY BAD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE.
BTW, I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE DECISION TO DELAY THE BB10.
Set-up
- Blackberry Bold 9700
- Bridge version 2.0.0.33
- Blackberry Playbook 64gb Latest OS as of 7-12-12
- Mac OSX Snow Leopard Latest, 32bit mode. MBP core 2 duo 2.1ghz, 8gb ram 13" screen 2009 era.

Not sure if you have tried this. I changed the date on my playbook (one year back ) and the messages bridge worked fine. Go back and fubar again. Bummer.

Playbook & Bridge 2.0 - Bridge browser not available on Playbook

I have a Torch 9800/6.0 OS - Carrier Telus Mobility.
Upgraded Playbook to 2.0 this morning and Bridge on Smartphone to new 2.0 version. When accessing Bridge on Playbook; Bridge Browser is no longer an option. I also have a enterprise activated torch 900/6.0 OS on Rogers. Same version of BlackBerry Bridge. If I pair my Playbook with the Rogers/enterprise activated Torch the Bridge Broswer shows up on Playbook; when I pair my Playbook with teh Telus/personal Torch, no Bridge Broswer shows up. All other Bridge options are there.
Any suggestions? Is this a RIM or Carrier issue?

I actually have Bridge on the Playbook and it is there when testing with both devices and the options that display when you click on Bridge all work. The issue I have is that Bridge Browser icon/option does not even appear under Bridge. It does when connecting to the same type of device that is enterprise activated and on Rogers, but not when connecting to the personal device which is on Telus.
I have deleted Bridge from both Smartphones and reinstalled the latest from AppWorld for both - to make sure I was comparing the exact same versions (battery pull reboot performed as well). No change in the results.

Why is on the show the bridge us version episode 9 the beetle not available yet after two days?

Why is the show The bridge us version episode 9 not available on iTunes two days after it's aired?

We are all just fellow users here and know no more than you do. All we could do would be to guess, and your guess is probably as good as ours. You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking, but the service reps may well not know either.

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
Thanks.

BB playbook Bridge message app won't open.

I updated my OS today and after that the BB Playbook Bridge message app, when trying to open, just blinks like constant rápid reloading and does not open even after restarting the playbook. Other bb Bridge apps work fine. How to fix this?

I have the same thing happening to me today. What did you do to fix it. All the other apps in Blackberry Bridge work fine on my Playbook, it's just the messages. I have tried re-starting both devices but I still can't display the messsages, just the annoying white to black flashing screen.

HELP - BBM does not work on Playbook (Bridged)

Hi Folks,
Looked into other threads but all problems seem to be related to older versions.
I am new to the whole Blackberry Lifestyle.
Currently own, Playbook (wireless) and Torch 9860 for about two weeks - enjoying them independently.
ANY HELP would be appreciated.
Just tried the Bridge function but the BBM does not work.
It is funny cause my Playbook does get a notification for any BBM I receive, the remote works, the contacts can be seen on playbook but when I click on BBM notification it I get a message "Your Version of Blackberry Messenger is not compatible with Blackberry Bridge. Download the latest version of BBM to use it on your playbook.
I did what I normally do - googled it. Found out the specs and I do have all updated apps.
On my 9860 I have
7.1.0 System
Bridge 2.0.0.35
BBM 6.1.0.55
This is not linked to BES or anything - purely personal.
I have already restarted my phone and playbook with no luck.
I am new, so not sure of the difference between stuff like hard set, shutdown etc etc or other technical terms - so would appreciate if you assume that I am a complete dummy.

Hi playbookfun and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Have you tried updating to the latest version of BBM™? If not, I would recommend trying that by going to www.blackbery.com/bbm from your BlackBerry® Browser.
Thanks.

Problems with Playbook Bridge

Help... I have a blackberry torch 9800 mobile and was so so looking forward to buying the Playbook. I am a business user so 95% for wanting to buy the PB is bridge feature for emails, contacts, calendar, task, bbm and internet browsing. I downloaded bridge software to my mobile, went to the shop to try bridge on the PB before buying and was SERIOUSLY disappointed when bridged my mobile to the PB !! Reasons being: 1-my mobile froze full time. So from my mobile i could not answer incoming calls, couldn't make outgoing calls, couldn't open nor do anything on my mobile until I cancelled the bluetooth bridge connection at which time my phone worked super fast as it always does, applications open super quick, commands executed quickly etc. 2-mobile battery drained quickly during bluebtooth bridging of 10 minutes only!! So if I bridge for an hour it will suck my battery dry!! I can not carry a battery charger with me just to be able to bridge as the sales attended suggested...no way as I need to bridge at least 3 hours daily. 3-when I used the bridge Internet browser it took a good 4 minutes to simply open a new web page!! 4-when I made new appointments, tasks or contacts (or made changes to existing entries) on PB it sometimes took a good 3 minutes to show the new or amended entries on the PB!! The salesperson told me every time I made a new entry or changed an existing entry I am to close the program and reopen it to see the new / amended entry....no way and definitely NOT practical!! The salesman told me to buy a faster blackberry mobile to be able to properly use PB bridge and not have the above problems. This does not make sense to me as don't really want to buy a new mobile as my current mobile is superfast. Of course I did not end up buying the PB. Can anyone help advise how to resolve above problems as I really DO want to buy the PB to use the bridge feature on it....I love the bridge feature. Also does anyone know for future play books if they will have native emails, calendar etc + when these new play books versions will be coming out to buy??

what version bridge did you try?
What version OS was on the playbook?
Mine does not drain fast at all when bridged unless i surf a lot on the web since it will use the full internet and not the compressed version you phone usually uses.

PLAYBOOK BRIDGE - EMAIL ACCESS - MULTI SELECT DELETE FREEZE UP PROBLEM

I just purchased my BlackBerry Playbook Yesterday 04-30-2011, I updated to the latest OS Version: 1.0.1.1710
My playbook has been working awesome, with the exception of only having a few apps out so far... I love it. (I know the apps will come soon)
I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 on Sprint with OS Version:5.0.0.1030
When the bridge is connected it's working great. The only problem I have seen so far is this:
I've tried to check my email on my blackberry and multi select the emails as I go to delete them. When I delete the emails off my blackberry through the bridge one at a time it works GREAT. However when I use the multi select feature of the PlayBook to choose multiple emails to delete all 5-8 emails at a time I tap DELETE PlayBook ask me if I want to delete on device and/or online and, I choose on device and online. My playbook appears it will delete them like if I had selected one at a time, however it doesn't delete them, it's like the bridge freezes. Playbook acts fine and I can actually exit out of the bridge message window. I have to do a battery pull on my phone (BlackBerry Curve 8530) to get it to unfreeze. I've tried a couple of times with no success on this whole process. This is my first time posting here... Can someone help me with who I need to notify about this to get this issue resolved or at least addressed/duplicated? Anyone have any ideas? I could just individually delete the email but I like the feature of deleting multiple emails by selecting them and placing a "CHECK" beside the ones I would like to delete. Any questions please let me know!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I can delete multiple messages one at a time on my Bold 9700 way faster than I can multi-select and delete on the Playbook. Sometimes mutli-select works, sometimes it hangs, sometimes it causes Bridge email to just close. On the Bold, delete just works.
Bold 9700 - 6.0.0.448
Playbook 64G - 1.0.3.1868
Bridge - 1.0.0.83

Playbook - Bridge messages - get flashing screen and circle - but no updates

I have been using Bridge messages succesfully - since Christmas - up to, and after installing the latest OS.
I have also removed and re-installed bridge software on Torch 9810.
Now just get blank screen/blank messages screen - flashing from one to the other, and the "updating circle".
Only solution is to close the app.
All other Bridge and apps working fine.
Can access messages and all other software via Torch - anyone had the same please?

I tried AANDRAS suggestion, without really doing it for that, both my phone and my Playbook got completely wiped accidentally, and when I finished getting them back in working order the problem was still there
AANDRAS theory is that there is a e-mail message that as bad HTML code in it and that is what causing this problem, but I still do not understand that since both the phone and the Playbook got a complete factory wipe how can there be any e-mail message (with or without bad html code) that remain on either or both device, and there was no backup that could be restored since the OS version for some reasons on both device were newer than the one of the backup and therefore could not be restored
I wish you sincerely luck if yu are doing the security wipe
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

Bridge CS3 Version Cue Folder ICONS Incorrect (Windows 7)

Hello,
After updating to Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, the folder icons that appear in Bridge CS3 when browsing a Version Cue Server appear as little hard-drives with a windows icon. (We use Bridge CS3 to avoid using the notorious "Adobe Drive CS4".)
We could live with these new icons and pretend that they're folders, but does anyone know of a hack or the registry location to flip these icons back to a folder icon?
Thanks,
JP

Hi Curt,
I just tried it and it didn't work. My issue isn't with the Adobe icons or thumbnails of the actual files, just with the icons that are shown for the sub-folders.
thanks,
JP

Why will alias files not preview in Bridge (running version CS5).

help! I'm using Bridge version CS5, on Mac OSX, version 10.7 and I can't get alias files to preview. it just shows up as a pdf icon...any help that could steer me in the direction of what i'm doing wrong would be great! thanks!

it just shows up as a pdf icon...any help that could steer me in the direction of what i'm doing wrong would be great! thanks!
You are not doing anything wrong, an Alias is not a file containing a preview, it is just an alias of the original and clicking on it reveals the original file itself.
Try a collection from the files, a collections contains also a kind of an alias but that does show the thumbs as they are.

Playbook Bridge Messenger Won't Work

hi there,
I've been using my Bridge BBM for a week now and it was not bad but last night it quit firing up. but i still the notifications for new messages on my playbook. what would be the possible cause of that?

delete the BlueTooth Bridge profiles on both devices, update bridge app if not done already
Then perform a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry smartphone powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC.
on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.
setup bridge again and see if it persists.

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing

I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?

The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that.

Playbook bridge email viewing suggestions

It would be really nice if you could do the following while viewing bridged email from blackberry:
1) zoom & pan the email text. Sometimes rich text email have fonts so small you almost need a magnifier to view. It's a shame in a pinch-to-zoom enabled device I cannot zoom in & out of the email!
2) is there a way to download pdfs or other docs via clicking the hyperlinks in emails? for that matter, downloading docs from hyperlinks does not seem to work on the playbook browsers either!
thanks.

One more... the ability to read encrypted confidential email messages by typing in your email password as you can on the BB.
Best regards,
Brent
