Unable to access apps/menu/almost anything

I am asking this question on behalf of my colleague 
Device info
Your carrier: T-Mobile
Model info and OS version: We know it’s a silver Pearl from checking against pictures – not certain of the exact number and (because of the problem) can’t check the OS version or any of the other requested information but if I manage it I’ll update – sorry!
Basically the issue is that the apps bar (usually on the Home Screen) has disappeared and we can’t get into the apps screen using the menu key either - additionally the phone initially set itself to mute (and using the mute/unmute button did nothing) although we have since managed to change this to vibrate.
I did a battery pull and we left the battery out a little while to ensure it was registered (I haven't had my Curve long enough to work out if just yanking it out and in again work just as well - my old phone needed it taking out for about half a minute before it would reset! Stupid thing.) then after putting it back in it went to a white screen with an egg timer on it for quite a while, but did eventually load. It verified the security software and then went back to the initial blank screen that was there before the pull but with a large red dot in the left hand corner.
The first time I clicked anything after this it had a fit and gave App Error 523 (I haven't had a chance to see if I can look up what this means yet but will do after posting this) then when I clicked Reset (the option below the error report) it went off, the red light blinked once then it switched back on again.
Same thing this time only when I click after unlock although the red dot is still there all that happens is that the dot disappears and the other options on the screen move down a tiny fraction. It's still set to vibrate which is a relief at least.
The only thing we can do is get into the phone menu pressing the green button or a number, then from there by pressing the menu button there is a limited number of apps available (IM client, SMS, Web, Phone) and we can also get into the options for any of these once we're in but otherwise nothing is available.
I hope that's enough information but please ask me if there's anything else I can give. I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life.  Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

  • Ijust bought my brand new 21.5" imac computer but i am unable to download, or open almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought the imac it already had the password and we didnt know it.

    i just bought this brand new imac but i am unable to use or download almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought this computer there was already this password. We did not install it. Also just today we went to a shop to ask for the password n=but they said in it on the little book that tells us how to use the imac. I looked throught that book memorized it but still could not find the password...

    Well i am able to go through things, and everything. I dont know quite what that means but you dont need to enter a password to download Adobe Flashplayer. I just did it. wasnt asked. Of course I know the password I set up when I got the computer new but I have never been asked when downloading. When it comes to installing........
    If you are being asked BY YOUR MACHINE for a password you do not know it is NOT a new machine.

  • Unable to access Apps on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    Hi guys,
    I can print wirelessly and print remotely using the ePrint apps on my iphone and ipad.  Until recently, I have been able to access the apps, but this has stopped. I now get the following error message: 
    "The printer was unable to connect to the server. Chieck your internet connection and try again."
    The internet connection is stable and fine. Any ideas?
    This question was solved.

    Hello londonlaw,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Sorry to hear about the recent issue when trying to access apps on  your Officejet Pro 8600, I would like to offer a few suggestions that may help.
    Check for updates on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
    Power off the printer and ensure the power cord is connected to a wall out let.
    Next you want to power reset the router. If it has a power button press that, if not, remove the power cord. Wait 60 seconds and then allow it to power back up. Once router is fully on, power up the printer.
    Try to access an app, if it works there is no need to continue. If it doesn't, try the next suggestion.
    Refer to this Thread answered by a colleague of mine happytohelp01 : Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times. Follow the steps to setup a Manual I.P and DNS for the printer over the network. The steps will be the same, if not very similar for your printer as the one in the above post.
    Try to an app once done, if still unable, continue below.
    Go back to the above Thread, rather than using the DNS suggested try this set; Primary DNS Server : 209.244.0.3 & Secondary DNS Server : 209.244.0.4.
    Try to access an app, if the feature is still not working you will need to call HP's Cloud Support team. If you live in the USA/Canada, 1-855-785-2777. If you live outside the USA/Canada, click HERE to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
    I hope this has helped, if it has, please let me know what step helped.

  • I am unable to update apps or download anything. This started after update to iOS 7.1. Can anyone help?

    I Am unable to do updates or download anything since updating to iOS 7.1. Can anyone help?

    using safari or a computer, go to apple.com.  select store, and in the upper right, try to log into your account.  See if they give you a hint at what the issue is, but it sounds like there is some issue with your account - probably easily fixable.

  • Keeps defaulting to 4:3 and also unable to access cloud menu periodically

    Just bought the LED TV 58L4300U, anytime I change inputs or go to different apps or menus, the pic size keeps changing back to 4:3, is there a way to set the default to full or any other setting? Also, sometimes I try to exit the cloud menu the smaller PIP stays in place and the rest of the screen is black, then once I am able to return to regular screen, there is no reaction when I press the home button to access the cloud menu and the only way to fix it is to reset everything, but I've done that 3 times and it's very cumbersome, any tips would be appreciated.

    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 631-3811.

  • Updated 1st gen iPad, unable to access apps.

    I recently updated my 1st gen iPad and my pictures and music seems to have transferred but none of my apps did. I can see them but cannot open them, they are dark in appearance as they look before they have completed downloading. I accessed the app store and was able to download a new app...

    I plugged in my ipad and ITunes says "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPad. Would you like to retore this iPad again now?". I pressed continue restore and a message came up that says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)". Im not sure where to go from here, or how to "unsync" and "resync".

    Not so. By default, Windows 8 does not shut down completely. It hibernates the kernel (so that startup if faster).  When restoring from hibernation, It doesn't check for the F2 key.
    You can shut down completely by depressing the Shift key when you click Shut down. Restart shuts down completely (so that system files can be changed).

  • I can access the Internet but unable to access apps

    I am actually on my iPod as I ask this question, but I cannot access YouTube, iTunes, or any of my apps that require Internet. But I can still use Safari!! I've tried to reset my network settings and connect to different wifi networks but nothing works. Help!!!

    All I can suggest is to:
    - Restore from backup
    - Reset all settings Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts
    and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore ot factory defaults/new iPod

  • In Firefox 4 and 5.0 when I go to addons - I see my addons and themes - but I am unable to access (or even see) anything new that is not already installed. Using Wndows XP Pro.

    Using Windows XP Pro. Mysteriously some time ago - I lost the ability to add new addon's because I can't even lookup new addons from the addon area. Moving from 3.6 to 4.0 did not correct it and moving to 5.0 did not correct it either.
    Literally - I can search for addons I know exist at Mozilla - and the searches show "no results" (from the addon area). Its as if I can use the browser for everything but accessing Moxilla in the addon area.
    P.S. Firewall and antivirus shut off in attempts :-) Even then - its as if I'm "blind" to seeing new addon choices from the addon area (true for themes, plugins, etc.).

    The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
    I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

  • HP Oj 8500 A909g upper part of touch screen defective. Unable to access tools menu.

    Upper portion of touch screen is not working. Can anyone suggest an alternative way to push wireless network configuration to this printer??  i.e. the *# menu with a number sequence.  I am setup and printing via USB, but solutions center cannot see printer wirelessly and since it's hard connected I can't find anywhere in that software to push the network config from the computer.  Computers previously connect to my old DSL network, it worked there btw, run both XP, Vista, and 7.  All printed to the 8500 flawlessly.  the printer functions normally.  It's functioning normally via USB, but computers are scattered all over the house.  We were forced to drop ATT DSL in favor of Uverse and of course, new network config.  Can any one suggest an alternate to the defective touch screen? I have done a factory partial reset via *#, 1,2,3.  I'm hoping that another number sequence will bring up network configuration menu.  Thanks for reading this anyway.  Fredad6l

    It appears that you just need to get the printer on the new network as a result of provider equipment change, but not able to because the touchscreen button is not responding.
    While I may not be able to help with the touchscreen, there is an alternative way to get this pritner on a network.
    The alternate way will require a computer on the wireless network and a USB cable for this process.  I recommend having all printer software uninstalled before continuing as it will make things a little easier for this alternate method.
    Once you have that (sounds like you already do), follow Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network to get it on the network.  Specifically, look for the section labled Method 1.
    With the printer uninstalled completely, these steps summarize what needs to happen:
    1. Start the install from CD or from a download.  Leave the USB cable disconnected for now.
    2.  During the installation, choose through network and not USB.  At this point, the software will recognize the printer is not on the network and prompt you to connect the USB cable (may come later after this step).
    3.  The computer will share the wifi connection information with the printer.
    4.  At some point, you will be prompted to disconnect the USB cable.
    5.  At the end, the printer should be on the wifi network.  At this point, uninstall and reinstall the printer on the other computers if they have not picked up the printer automatically.

  • Unable to Access Menu in SFP Layout tab

    Hi,
    Could someone please help me? In transaction SFP, under the Layout tab, I'm unable to access the Menu (Edit, View, Insert, Layout, Tools, Palletes, Help). Is there any setting which I've missed out?
    Just in case this information is important, my machine is installed with Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7.0.
    Also, if the users that will be using ESS/MSS can only have Adobe Reader 6.0 on their machines, I understand that there would be problems trying to display the PCR within the portal. Is there any fix to this?
    Appreciate your help and thanking you in advance.
    Regards,
    Adeline.

    Hi Adeline,
    1) Can you see the Menu? Or is everything greyed out?
    2) Adobe Reader 7.0.8 is suggested to use for the end users. We had a lot of problems with older releases. Please note that in case of Netweaver 2004 you cannot use Reader 8 or higher yet. Adobe and SAP are working on this issue. (The ACF - Active Component Framework) cannot install properly with Reader 8.
    So the only fix is using Reader 7.0.8. - The problem is client side related, not ADS or PCR related.
    Cheers,
    Noë
