Re-buying apps in BlackBerry App World

I don't understand BlackBerry App World.
If I buy an app, and re-download it weeks\months later, surely I don't have to pay again, right?
I've re-downloaded 'Six Tools' a few times now, after reloading my device, or switching to a difference BlackBerry, BUT, always using the SAME email account for BlackBerry App World, yet each time it wants me to pay again. After paying $2.99 three times over, something has got to give.
Anyone...
@naviwilliams

Hello naviwilliams,
This is not normal rule for App World.
When you use the same BlackBerry ID and purchase an application you shouldn't be prompted to purchase the same application each time. KB17625 will elaborate on the transfer or reinstallation of apps.
I would recommend you contact the vendor of this application (KB27706 to locate vendor support) to investigate this issue further.
Hope this answers your question.

Payment through paypal on Blackberry App World

Hi All,
Im using my playbook to buy an apps on the Blackberry App World but does not succeed. I have the message Payment entcountered with Paypal authorization.
I have used Paypal for other online purchases and its fine. I'd called the Paypal hel centre, and they told me I suppose to get some kind of authorization from Seller for them to activate the preapprove payment.
Anyone? Please help!

I had the same problem.
I had to update my payment information in PayPal (expiration date of my credit card not valid) to correct the problem.

8520 Curve - Blackberry App World Payment Error 540031

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone can help, I have a blackberry 8520 and any time I try to purchase an app of any kind I get the following error message:
Pay Fault: Error 540031: You do not have permission to use the preapproval key (Error Id: 540031)
A few months ago my blackberry decided not to work and so I had to do a full format and re-install and since upgrading to OS5 I have had the problem with purchasing Apps; Downloading free Apps is fine. I have also lost Memopad and can not restore it, but the biggest problem is buying apps.
Any help would be great,
Thank you,
Harm

Hi Harm,
I was having the same problem too , however I managed to get it to stop happening. The problkem seems to be related to a problem between blackberry app world and paypal. I managed to stop the error message by changing my payment details from paypal to credit card. I have a debit card myself so I dont imagine it matters which type of card you have to make it work.

Curve 8520 i dont have blackberry app world

Dear All i have buyed Blackberry Curve 8520 second hand but i found there is no blackberry app world in mobile and i cant download through internet can suggest me how to download blackberry app world and whattsapp in my phone\

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
1) Check and, if it exists, remove AppWorld from your BBKB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphoneIf it requests that you reboot the BB, do so2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorldhttp://blackberry.com/appworld/downloadAgain, if it requests to reboot, do so.4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works. Otherwise, please expand on...JameelKhan2k wrote:and i cant download through internet

Email verification page down and Blackberry identity update needed for app world

Hey!
don't know if anyone can help me, but I just got a Blackberry and did the whole creating a Blackberry id etc, now when I want to confirm my email address it says that the email confirmation feature is currently unavailable? Its been like that for 5 days now! And that sucks seeing as the link is only valid for 24 hours? wtf? How am I supposed to confirm in 24 hours if the link is down for more than that?!!!!!!
So as a result I cannot use app world as every time I go on it says 'a blackberry identity update is needed. Would you like to install now?' I then click yes and it then proceeds to tell me that my 'blackberry identity installation failed. Please try again later (80003), I can try until I am blue in the face without the admin fixing that **bleep** link its never going to work!!!!!!!!!!
CAN ANYONE PLEASE SAVE THIS POOR DISTRESSED DAMSEL BEFORE I LAUNCHE THIS PHONE OUT OF THE WINDOW AND GO BUY A NOKIA?

Solution to the problem associated with the BlackBerry Identity installation failure can be found from the link below. A BlackBerry curve 8520 user can delete the existing bb app world and download another bb app world from this link:

Can't login to blackberry app world

I've recently got a blackberry of one of my friends and since it's app world was used on my friends account, it won't let me login to my email address. The worst thing of all is that my friend doesn't remember her password. Does anyone know what to do to let me login?
Thanks for any help given.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Actually, you need to do a number of things...refer to this:
KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
Ultimately, when you WIPE the BB, it will remove the association to the old BBID account, and you will create a new one for yourself on that BB.
Good luck!

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:

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!

Hello !
Try connecting to App world after connecting your device to WiFi.
Or else,
There is an alternative for your problem to resolve.
What you do is connect your BlackBerry Smartphone with USB cable to Internet enabled desktop/laptop.
Go to the link mentioned below:
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/
On top right of the page there is a option "Sign In".
Login with your BlackBerry ID and password.
From here you can download all as you do it for Appworld.
Hope this resolves your Problem!
If your problem has been resolved then would request you to Click on "Like" and accept as "Solution" so that other Advisors doesnt invest there time on this Message anymore.

Blackberry App World Update

Hi, all,
An update for Blackberry App World has just been released. The new version is 1.1.0.35. It can be downloaded directly from Blackberry at their website from your Blackberry device. I'm not sure of what exactly has been updated, but hopefully, it will run a little smoother for some folks who had problems with it in the past. If you have never used Blackberry App World, it is chocked full of applications for your device, many free for download. Check it out if you are looking for a particular app.
Doc

Where exactly are we finding this application after we upgrade? I clicked upgrade YESTERDAY. Since then I have rebooted my blackberry 3 times, and blackberry app world is no where to be find. I unhide all my icons, it is not in the download folder. If I hit the application central icon it is there, but I cannot access it, it says, "downgrade" under blackberry app world.
