The BlackBerry PlayBook?

Just wonder what MOST of the BlackBerry community is wondering, when will it be available for pre-order? I know the Canadians are going to have it available for pre-order either later tonight or tomorrow.

Not surprised...it's a very good device, had a few odd flaws to get around but it is still my favourite tablet!!

Adobe Reader for the BlackBerry PlayBook Showstopping Issue: App does not start

Hello;
I would like to report an issue with the Adobe Reader app for the BlackBerry PlayBook which renders the application fully unusable. This issue occurs everytime. This issue has been tested and verified to occur in two distinct BlackBerry PlayBook devices.
Here is a screenshot stating what version (10.0.3.325) of the Adobe Reader app I have installed:
This, I understand, is the latest version for my platform. Unfortunately, the application does not start. Attempting to run it results in a blank screen after showing the BlackBerry logo. The blank screen can be seen in the following screenshot:
It is also strange that the application does not appear in the Application Permissions list, as seen in the following screenshot:
Is there a fix for this showstopping issue? What steps should I take?

Same issue here. Playbook support knows about it, and referred to Adobe. The Adobe forum has this comment. Looks like our Playbooks are abandoned as a platform.
"Mar 4, 2012 7:20 PM
As the tablet market continues to evolve, we continue to evaluate how to best support the market and where to focus on our resources. Because of this, Adobe has decided to end its support of the RIM QNX Playbook devices in March 2012. This means the ability to create new applications for submission to the RIM store will no longer be possible in Adobe Viewer Builder as well as the ability to rebuild existing targets for new releases of Digital Publishing Suite. Any existing QNX targets will be removed from the manage view inside Viewer Builder".

Can I download and use celtx script software on the Blackberry Playbook?

Can I download and use celtx script software on the Blackberry Playbook? I really love the program and was looking at buying a playbook but would only do it if I could download that software.

cups pdf is like cute pdf but for mac
https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/downloads
after installing you need to go to settings, printer, add printer
full instructions here
http://basics4mac.com/article.php/print_to_pdf
pdfs go in /Users/Shared/CPS-PDF/{your account name}
This creates a virtual printer just like cute pdf does. This allows pdfs from applications that do not use the mac print interface

Too late for this to be on the Blackberry Playbook new OS 2??

Will we be able to find our Blackberry phones (if they get misplaced or lost) using the Blackberry PROTECT program on the Blackberry Playbook? With all of the excitement in the air for the anticipation of the new OS 2...I was wondering if the possibility for that useful program will be available as an app for the Playbook?
Also...(Just to get a little bit more greedy on the thought)...will we be able to locate our Playbooks using the same program with the help of our laptops or desktop computers, or Blackberry phones?
Thanks.
Solved!

In other words...is there an app for the Blackberry Playbook to find my phone?
That is exactly what I am saying, you do not need any apps, with the Playbook, just use the browser and go to the Blackberry Protect web site and you can do the same thing as if you are using a computer (laptop or desktop), so why bother with an app when you can already do it using what is on the Playbook
BTW. I am doing that since day one on the 19 April 2011, I even can use the Blackberry Travel web site

Looking to change my BlackBerry ID on the BlackBerry PlayBook

Hi sir
when need to download any applications from my world says error and need to sign in with my blackberry playbook ID but at 1st the time adjust my blackberry playbook send it to a technical centre and they adjust it and they use there email to to register my blackberry playbook ID and password and now can not get password so I am looking to change my blackberry ID on the blackberry playbook

See this KB article: KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
Changing the BlackBerry ID on the BlackBerry PlayBook or BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
In order to change the BlackBerry ID that is associated to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone or a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, a security wipe will need to be performed.
Warning: Performing the security wipe will result in loss of stored data on the smartphone or tablet. Be sure to create a backup and also transfer files to a computer prior to performing the security wipe.
Note: In this scenario, the backup file will not be able to be restored to the device since it will be using a new BlackBerry ID. For more information, see KB31317.
Prior to performing a security wipe of the smartphone or tablet, transfer files to a computer so the files can then be transferred back to the smartphone or tablet after the security wipe is complete and the new BlackBerry ID is configured. See the following links for information:
KB26068 - How to transfer files to and from the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Manually synchronize music files to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
Import your contacts and calendar appointments from Microsoft Outlook.
To perform the security wipe:
On the BlackBerry 10 smartphone, see KB33591.
On the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, see KB27188.
Once the security wipe has been completed, a new BlackBerry ID can be configured on the smartphone or tablet during the initial setup.

How much is the Blackberry Playbook developing license?

Hi, I want to know how much is the license to develop AIR Apps for Blackberry Playbook and to publish them on the Blackberry Store.
For example... for iOS Apps the fee is of 99$ by year.... and for the Blackberry store?
Bye and thanks

Hi Mark. There are a few things to install and you need to register as a vendor for the app world - but it's all fairly straightforward. Here's an excellent link from the BlackBerry PlayBook forum. One of the guys there goes through everything you need in a real good level of detail.

My Playbook is stuck on the Blackberry Playbook Start up Page! And won't reset!

Hi All,
i need help for my playbook.
At first my battery wasn't holding any charge , i had lost the charger that came with it. Someone told me to buy the
rapid charger which i did.
I tried all the reset tricks Vol- Vol+ and Power for 15seconds - 20 seconds everything that you may read on the net.
I plugged it on the Rapid Charger and now all it showing is the Blackberry Playbook sign on the screen. If i remove it it just shuts down. When i plug it back in it restarts and shows the the battery icon with the connection and then starts and stalls at that same Blackberry Playbook sign.
PLEASE HELP ME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON PLS.
Thanks a bunch

Have you connected your playbook to a desktop computer?
My understanding is if you have a computer with Blackberry Desktop installed, You can connect the Playbook and reload the OS
This link on the Blackberry site has more details

Where's the Blackberry PlayBook CD?

Still trying to find ways to transfer video files from my PlayBook to my IMac. I've downloaded the BlackBerry article: "How to transfer files to and from the Blackberry PlayBook tablet." WIFI sharing is an option, but at this point I'd still stumped by some of the instructions. The article also has a section entitled: "File Sharing with a Mac via USB connection". That one looks a bit more straightforward so I thought I'd try that. Problem here is that instruction #2 says "On the desktop or within Finder, double click "BlackBerry PlayBook CD"?
What CD? I've checked my box and sure enough no CD came with my Playbook. If you read "Kit Contains" on the box it's clearly not listed. So baffled. Might there be a way to download this CD?
John
p.s. I'm going this route to download video to my Mac because of problems I'm having using the BlackBerry Desktop Software. It keeps sending the video to IPhoto.
Solved!

Thanks for that jarviser. I was wondering, but I don't have a Mac so I can't confirm the little things like that. Will see if I can pass that info on so that it gets fixed.

Swapping the blackberry playbook wifi only for a blackberry playbook wifi and cellular.

Hello there! how possible is it to swap my playbook wifi only for playbook with both wifi and cellular? if possible please let me know.

Hello lewtha and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question about your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
If you have the first generation tablet which uses Wi-Fi only, it cannot be altered to use mobile networks.
The ability to use mobile network and Wi-Fi was introduced to the second generation tablet. You would need to purchase it to have this ability.
Hope this helps to clarify.

Future Things we want Rim to Fix on the Blackberry Playbook (RIM Please read and reply) Paying customers need some feedback.

Since we all purchased this item for the Flash on the Go experience let make sure we have the following in the next OS update please
Stereo Bluetooth (Can't sync with my Car Stereo) Ford Focus
for those long road trips
NetFlix App paying subscriber
Hulu App paying subscriber
Scapbook App that was premiered before the release of the BB playbook
Android
Please add to the list so Rim will read. Paying $499.99 to 699.99 for something that is a paperweight because of the things we can't have and there are list of websites we can't even access why?

Also VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
We need a FILE MANAGER ASAP!
this to me is crucial cause i cant manage anything in terms of files right now on my playbook and i have 64GB of data i could store but there is no point of filling it all up if i cant even manage any files as of right now. its to the point that i rather store stuff in my BB smartphone than in my PB! which makes no sense!
Also,
-auto correction would be nice
-view pictures in portrait mode
-themes on PB would be great
-wi-fi music sync just like on my BB smartphone would be very good as well
-a .rar and .zip file opener and extractor for downloaded files
-BBM BBM BBM BBM! please BBM!
-Social feed app! that ill be amazing! or bridging the one i have on my BB smartphone!
-BB protect for PB is going to be necessary and mandatory over time! very important!
for now that will be all...

I have had the Blackberry Playbook since it came out. I have had 3 email accounts on it since I don't remember when. Suddenly a few days ago my window popped up for me to add my pw to one of my accounts. It said it was not the right pw or un. It was both.

I went in to my settings and worked and worked with it to no avail. So I decided to delete that account and try to re-add it. Forget it. I have worked for 2 days now or more and tried everything under the sun. I am not a computer geek but I am no dummy to them either. It always says server is not working or something like that. I have become so fed up with computer technology lately that I want to take my laptop, tablet and all of it and throw it against a brick wall. Why has everything become so complicated? I thought computer technology was improving. Not! Also, every single update rim had done has taken from my battery. When I first got it I could read on kobo for hours with no change in battery status hardly. After each update my battery got weaker and weaker until now I am lucky if I get an hour out of it on anything online and a good 2 hours reading, maybe. I loved it when I first got it, but it gets worse and worse. Help! I have a bellsouth email acct. and I used the info from my laptop and it gets and sends my mail just fine and has for forever. I just don't know what is up with it. And it would be so wonderful to have access to other readers besides just kobo. I tried to put some pdf books on it a few days ago and I could not get them to show up on my adobe reader for anything. I have others on there and some of them did and some didn't. Ugggh! What is up RIM with our tablets?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.
