Set up email account through 3rd party app.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use a 3rd party email app on my 9300. The problem I have found is that the 3rd party app wants the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server. I don't have that information, and when I asked vodafone, they told me tocontact Blackberry (and very kindly sent me a contact number for Blackberry, which didn't work).
Is it not possible in the UK to use third party email apps?

When you use a Blackberry only email address such as yours then you will find it very limited - you are only able to access it on your phone, there is no folder support etc.
You can use other email addresses like Google and Yahoo which will give you more support. For example Google will allow you to access your folders, sync you calendar and contacts. (note.. on folder support, only email pushed to your device once its activated are available on the handset when filed, though you can do a remote search of your inbox).
Yahoo will allow you to sync your contacts but does not give you folder access, however, it does do 2 way sync so when you file email on the web interface it will be removed from the inbox on your handset.

Not receiving emails and downloading 3rd party apps

Hi everyone,
I am the new kid on the block with blackberry. I have a blackberry 8300 smartphone but I am have the following issues using it:
1. I can send out email from the blackberry email I set up on my blackberry through my network provider, I can not receive any email to the account.
2. I am unable to add my Lycos.com email address to the blackberry,
3. I am unable to download any 3rd party app on my blackberry, I get a message that the IT policy on my phone does not permit me to download third party app.
I have spoken to my network operator several times about this issue but no joy. Any idea on how I can resolve this, will be appreciated.

Having trouble setting up email accounts in the mail app?

Hi Apple community,
I am having trouble setting up my email accounts with the osX mail application. I have two accounts, an outlook and my college email through google. When I try to add the outlook account the prompt says that it cannot connect to the server and when I try my college mail i get the following prompt.
"Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Please note that my college account is run by gmail and ends in murraystate.edu
Thanks, Will.

Hey will,
okay for your college email. Heres what you do.
Try adding your email and wait for the message to come up
Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Once it does, you will notice 2 extra boxes One says username and the other password. You will notice that the username will not have @murraystate.edu
Add this and continue and this should now be added as an email account and should be able to receive emails as normal.
For your outlook emails, I would recommend using the following article to set it up. It is fairly straightforward.

Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
thanks in advance,
Mike

just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

I wanted to know the safety of subscribing to 3rd party apps through the app store? i also wanted to know if we could use a iTunes gift card for the auto renewal subscriptions?

We wanted to subscribe to an app through the app store for our child. We just wanted to know how safe these 3rd party apps are with credit card information, because we dont want our information used in the wrong ways, or used for things other than the subscription. We also wanted to know if the subscriptions could be paid with itunes gift cards.

This link may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009 Also not the additional information link near the bottom.
Basically anything purchased "in app" is handled through your iTunes account.

How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
I need this immediately.
Anybody can help??
I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
Hope this helps?

I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

Outlook "The Operation Failed" - Sending emails from 3rd Party Apps

I have an issue similar to this one
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/272002.aspx
This started a few weeks ago for some users. Users cannot send emails generated from 2 3rd party apps. They get the error "The Operation has failed".
Not all users are affected but the only solution is to turn on Cached Mode in Outlook.

Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

Hello,
I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps.
Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program.
I appreciate the help in advance.

Accelerometer Barely Works in Native Apps, Perfectly Fine in 3rd Party Apps

Slightly weird issue. I had the issue in 2.2.1 but I'd hoped it would resolve itself when I installed 3.0. Basically Changing orientation in Safari will pretty much not work at all, or in email, messaging etc. But if I run a 3rd party app that relies on the accelerometer, it works perfectly fine. For example I restored my phone entirely with 3.0, no jailbreaking, nor did I restore my backup from iTunes, so a completely clean iPhone, no data or 3rd party apps at all. It still didn't work, I installed a Liquid simulator app which I thought would make a good tester, and once again, perfectly fine, not a single issue. For the record, the accelerometer in native apps isn't entirely dead, shake to shuffle works fine, and there was one point where I had the phone on it's side for a while and it eventually dropped to landscape, but then I couldn't get it back again.
So what more can I do? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I can only assume I can rule out a hardware issue since the liquid app works fine.
So to summarise:
3.0 Software, clean install, no backup restored. Accelerometer barely works in native apps. 3rd party apps, all works fine.

sounds like a good reason to go to telstra and demand the 3gs as a replacement for your faulty phone

Can't use system ringtone in 3rd party apps since OS upgrade

Yesterday I upgraded the OS on my BB9900 to 7.1 Bundle 2061 (v7.1.0.714 Platform 5.1.0.532). I then had to completely reconfigure BeBuzz LED customiser (v 5.0.40 for OS 7.1) for specific contacts and apps. Before upgrading I had used 3Bells as a contact-specific alert for emails and text messages in BeBuzz. But since the upgrade it won’t let me us 3Bells. If I try, the following message appears:
“The selected ringtone 3Bells is a system protected file and cannot be accessed by 3rd party apps. Please move a copy of the file to a different folder on your phone. This applies to all ringtones that came preinstalled on this phone”.
This is very strange, as this restriction wasn’t there before upgrading the OS. My question is, how do I locate the folder where this ringtone file is?

+"remove the "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" file...then re-open the system preferences..."+
And remember to either log out and back in to the account or restart the computer to force the generation of a new prefs file.

Why won't my 3rd party apps open?

Hi
I've got a problem where my none of the 3rd party apps open on my iPad 1 (wifi + 3G) on iOS 5.1.1. They just open and shut down instantly. I've tried all of the suggested solutions (downloading a free app, updates etc, reauthorising both itunes and the ipad) but nothing works.
I've even restored the ipad several times both as new and from a backup. Also, when I try to sync the apps through itunes it gets halfway through one and cancels the sync. Because of this there are heaps of apps that just say "loading" but never do anything.
This is so frustrating its been happening for a few weeks now and still only the original apple apps work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Josh

Yes I have several times. I seem to have fixed it somehow.
Firstly I restored on the iPad instead of through iTunes by going Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then I set it up as a new iPad. I downloaded a previously purchased app but it still didn't work so then I downloaded a new free app. Then I did a hardware reset by holding in the home and power buttons. After that, I manually downloaded each app that I wanted to use as I needed it.
It seems that the issue resurfaces every time I sync with the computer so I will have to avoid doing this.
Thanks anyway,
Josh

MacBook Pro 3rd Party App not loading just 'flashes' 10.8.5

Hi
Could really use some help here, been using this forum for around 6 years and have managed to solve all my Mac problems through it which has been great, but I have an issue I really can't figure out.
Replaced my HD with an SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner and everything has worked perfectly apart from one really annoying problem.
If I unzip a 3rd party App (not .dmg these work ok) for a piece of music software (as that is all I use this Mac for) it just 'flashes' for a second and stops - where as normally it will ask for Password to make changes and install it.
If I use Console to inspect the error I get this…
com.apple.launched.peruser.501:([0x0-044044].com.native-instruments.kExecutableN ame[318]) Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13
Dock: no information back from LS about running process
This is what I have tried.
1. Security and Privacy Settings are set to allow non Apple Apps.
2. I have repaired Permissions in Disc Utility and from Terminal in Recovery HD via resetpassword command.
3. I have opened the app for the Get Info part and I have Read/Write permission on it.
4. I booted in Safe Mode, still the same.
5. I created a new Admin user on my Mac and tried to open the same App after unzipping and it immediately asks for the prompt to enter password to make changes. (so the download/unzip process is ok).
So, I guess it really must have something to do with my permissions somehow (or not!). As this is the only thing that does not work I feel I have narrowed it down but just can't fix it.
Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

Ok
I have fixed this. May be of help to others at some point.
I have been using Zipeg for .zip folders for about 4 years and never had an issue, I saw on a non related post about .zip files and how they can become corrupted during de-compression.
Anyway, I deleted zipeg and re-installed it, still the same, after that I read a post about OSX built in Archive Utility, it wasn't in my Utility folder so another post gave the path. I had no idea it even existed.
System / Library / Core Services - Archive Utility.
Using this all is working perfectly again.

Jabber Mobile/3rd Party App Contact Names

Prior to integrating our CUCM solution with LDAP, whenever we added a user account to CUCM it replicated across to CUPs and the users name appeared to people using windows, Iphone and Android apps as Firstname Lastname. Post integration of CUCM to LDAP has resulted in any new users that are created appearing in the Iphone/Android/3rd Party App as [email protected] rather than the firtname lastname we were previously getting. NOTE **Its not affecting Windows Desktop Jabber users***
We have noticed that if you log onto the cups user page and look at your contact list <Ipaddress:8443/cupsuser> User Options > contacts those that were created in CUCM prior to integration have an entry in the alternative name field.....those that were created in AD and synced to CUCM then replicated to CUPs do not!
I have pulled the following from a log on the Jabber client on a Mobile device (replaced specifics names etc)
02-25 10:40:14.476 2642 2642 D ContactsAdapter: [ContactListFeatureSet.cpp(359)] [DumpContactListToLogs] - Contact: <0x6be1b928>, name: <Firstname> <Last Name>, jid: [email protected]
02-25 10:40:14.476 2642 2642 D ContactsAdapter: [ContactListFeatureSet.cpp(359)] [DumpContactListToLogs] - Contact: <0x6a75e6f0>, name: [email protected], jid: [email protected]
Any ideas as to why the Alternate name field doesn't populate for CUPs contacts when users are created in AD, but did when previously created in CUCM?
Is their a Field in AD that will populate this in the background?

Thanks Jaime

Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

Hi
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
Anybody has any solution?
Thanks in advance.
