Playbook is missing time zones after restoring it to factory defaults

Hello,
I recently factory restored my playbook to OS  version 1.0.8.6067. After the restore I've found that Canada is missing from the list of countries available under Language tab (current Language set to English). Also, pacific time sone is missing from the Time Zone section under Date & Time.
The following countries are available if the Current Language is set to English
Trinidad & Tobago
US Minor Outlying Island
US Virgin Islands
UK
US
And under the Time zone list only the following are available
Eastern TIme (-5)
Indiana (-5)
Bogota (-5)
Mexico City - Old (-6)
Mexico City - New (-6)
I've restored the device twice with the same restuls as above. Any idea what might ve going on?
Thanks in advance
Usup

I have recently encountered this problem myself.  To give a little background, my Playbook was on 2.0 beta and when I recently updated to the full 2.0 I was having some consistency rpoblems with some apps so I did a full secruity wipe.  When my playbook came back up it only a few timezones and none of them were anywhere close to where I live.  This made no sense at all.
After that I did another secruity wipe, which still did not solve the problem.  Then I did a full reinstall using the debrick method using the Blackberry Desktop Software.  Again, when the Playbook came back up, it still was missing the proper timezones.
I'm at my wit's end here, and my research has shown that this issue has come up before and I've never seen anyone come up with a conclusive answer on how to fix it.  If anyone knows anything at all about this please share as this has rendered my Playbook useless.  Manually setting the time is not acceptable because the timzeone will be wrong so any timestamps will be completely off when viewed on other machines or if I sync a calendar then appointments show up at the wrong time.
I am very frustrated but I hope there is an answer here somewhere!

  • Pages, Keynote and Number apps missing from OS X Yosemite after restoring it to factory defaults

    Recently my macbook pro OS X Yosemite experienced some problems, so I decided to reset it to factory defaults. Now, everything works well, except for the fact that built in apps Pages, Keynote and Numbers are missing: what can I do? The App Store says I need to pay for them again, but I clearly remember (and checked again on the apple website) that the apps were built-in and not purchased. Is there anyway I can get them back without paying for them, since I clearly already have?
    Thank you!

    If you previously associated them with an Apple ID, log in with it, click on the Purchases tab, and download them from there. This is free.
    If not or you don't have access to it, click here and contact Apple.

  • Error message: itunes-restore phone to factory default on iphone 3 "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time".

    Attempting to restore Iphone 3 to factory deafalut, to finish "unlocking" the Iphone 5.
    Moving the phone from one cellular carrier to another (in this case Rogers to Bell in Canada).
    Rogers "unlocked" the phone on their end for $50.00, sent an email to Apple requesting serial # to be released from their network, and to provide "unlocked" status.
    Next step was to restore phone to "factory default" in I tunes, and wait for phone to reset and show "unlocked" status.
    Upon phone resetting in Itunes, after the "factory default", received the following error message"
    "we are sorry, we are unable to unable to continue with activation at this time  Please try again, or contact customer service".
    I contacted Apple customer service whom confirmed that the phone is showing as "unlocked" in their system.
    New carrier that I am attempting to hook phone up states that the phone is still locked.
    What is the solution or workaround?

    Hello mzpartia,
    I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
    Resolution
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • IPhoto events and pictures missing from iPhoto after restoring new hard drive and upgrade to iLife11

    My iPhoto events and pictures are ALL missing from my iPhoto Library after I tried restoring my programs on a new hard drive AND upgrading to iLife11!  Over the last few months, I upgraded my 2008 Macbook Pro's hard drive from a 250 GB to a 500 GB hard drive and since then have been manually installing and restoring programs and software.  I decided to do things manually because I had problems with doing Time Machine backups/restores in the past, so before I upgraded the drive, I manually saved everything to a Western Digital MyStudio 1 TB hard drive that I had just for the purposes of a second back up.  Anyway, I tried importing the pictures onto the new library, but couldn't find the hard copies at first, so that didn't work.  I then tried deleting the iPhoto Library that came with new operating system, then copying my old backup onto the new hard drive...that didn't work either.  However, when I right clicked on the iPhoto Library icon on my external hard drive (the original) and clicked on "show package contents," the folder not only contained the originals, but they were still organized by year and event just as I had them originally! 
    So, then I thought "why don't I try just importing the pictures directly into the new iPhoto Library!"
    I tested it out, and sure enough, it worked!  I then tried importing an entire folder (which, was actually the name of the event), and again it worked!  So, I literally clicked and dragged my entire 2007-2009 library of pictures (which was about 35 GB) back into my iPhoto Library!  AND, this only took about 30 minutes to download, enough time for me to write this post and the following instructions to Recap: 
              1. Open your new iPhoto Library
              2. Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon 
              3. Click on "Show Package Contents"
              4. Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
              5. Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
              6. DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reaseon, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there! 
    I assume this could work on other iLife programs, but luckily I have MobileMe and my iCalendar updated itself, though I did have to do some tweeking...
    Hope this helps other people out, GOOD LUCK! 

    I'm re-posting the answer to this problem so I can show it has been answered: 
    Open your new iPhoto Library 
    Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon
    Click on "Show Package Contents"
    Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
    Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
    DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reason, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there!
              GOOD LUCK!!!

  • Missing Time Zone

    The 6120 Classic requires an additional time zone under the Australia setting as its missing. The Zone is +9.5hrs GMT and it is the Darwin (Northern Territory) zone.

    work 6120 is MISSING Darwin Timezone.

    Is it a bug introduced with the firmware???

  • Missing "Time zone" tab - Webaccess build #100937

    We have installed the new build for GroupWise - build #100937.
    When using Webaccess , under "Options" the "Time zone" tab is missing.
    The "Time zone" tab was present before upgrading to build #100937.
    Any Suggestions to solve this?

    Cheers,
    Willem
    Yeah, that's correct. The problem is if you use ANYTHING to do single sign on (formfill in NAM, or some other web technology), it doesn't pass the java codes correctly, so it actually strips off the timezone code, so you get times that are off by 4 hours.
    But the bug is actually in WebAccess, not NAM.
    I'm supposedly getting a build to test to see if it's resolved.

  • Missing time zones

    I need to set my Mac to the correct time zone for La Paz, Mexico (in Baja Calif. South). There does not appear to be a setting for this zone. If I click my geographic location, I get Phoenix, and if I click just a bit east, I get mexico city. that leaves out Mexican Mountain and Pacific zones, which are important now because they don't have the same DST change dates as the US. Windows has this one figured out, it amazes me the Apple does not. Is there a secret trick to making this work? If not, is there a way to get word to the developer guys to fix this one? It seems a very basic need for an OS, to get time right.

  • Help! I can't delete my neighbors email from my iPhone 5 icloud account after I sold it to him after restoring it to factory settings.  Now he's on my iCloud account and it cannot be deleted.  Its impossible.  help. It seems the first one cant get delete

    Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings.  I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids.  I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was.  My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone.  I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it.  you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!!  Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account.  The genius bar said that they've never seen this before.  If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it.  Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • How to change Time (Zone) that Project On-Line install defaults to

    We are using Project Online. and the time displayed eg., Job Queue, is 3 hours behind.  ie., it is displaying Pacific time, but we are in the Eastern Time zone.  Can we change it?  If so how?
    Thanks in advance,
    \Spiro Theopoulos, Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Hello,
    There are certain areas in Project Online that will display the time zone incorrectly. All you can do is change the Regional Settings for the PWA site collection but that will not update all times as you have seen. I'm not sure if this is something
    that will be resolved in the near future or not. It might be worth you opening a support ticket via the Office 365 tenant so that all the requests can officially be logged / tracked.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone
    I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
    I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
    I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Pedro

    When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
    Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
    For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

  • Would partition be gone after restoring HDD into factory setting?

    Model: PSU4WH-00700P
    I partition C: (450 GB) into C: (100 GB) and D: (350 GB), and would like to know when I restore HDD into factory setting, will D: partition be gone?
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, the D partition will be gone.
    When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, all the partitions are restored to factory new. That includes even the one with the recovery image.
    In case you don't have it, I've attached a copy of the User's Manual.
