Unable to update latest BlackBerry App World software

I have tried several times to update the BlackBerry App World software on my Blackberry Curve 8520. But the update has not happened.
I have connected my mobile to the desktop and Connection to smart phone is successful. It did show my PN on the Browser. Updation of the App World Software just goes on without any info that it is complete. I left the device for the whole day.
So I am unable to download any software on my blackberry device.

Unable to connect to Blackberry App World

After successfully logging into Blackberry App World with my PayPal account I received the message..
Can not connect to Blackberry App World server. Make sure that your device is connected to the wireless network and try again. I have been getting this message for the last few days. I am able to browse the net using the blackberry browser.

what is the exact error message? is it:
BlackBerry AppWorld is having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry AppWorld server. Verify your network connections and try again.
if so, please read the following article from the public knowledge base.

Cannot update blackberry app world. It shows some weird error.

Here is the story. I was using os7 and and 2 days back I upgraded it to 7.1. As usual after upgrading the os, I updated pre installed apps. Like Facebook and bbm and did a re start. After re staring I found that there is no Facebook and bbm icon. I went to app world and searched for it. At the bbm screen there was no button, no re install, delete or anything. On facebook page there was a re install button through which I re installed it and again did a re boot. But again the same thing. So I though of re installing the firmware. I wiped the device via bbsak and installed the firmware via loader.exe (later I also tried with blackberry desktop manager). Now after upgrading when I went to update my app world, it re directed me to browser where I clicked download and then an error came up. I have attached a pic. Now I am unable to upgrade my blackberry app world. I tried several things like removing app world and again trying to Download it from browser, re installing firmware, downgrading and then again upgrading to 7.1 but all in vain. Please help, as I don't have any clue what's wrong and what to do. 
P. S: It's my first blackberry, and I bought it unlocked 5 days back. And I don't use BIS. I tried downloading app world via WiFi and via mobile data. 
 
Here is the error shown 
 
Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor. 
 
The "MIDlet-Name" attribute is missing

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
Please try this sequence:
1) Remove both AppWorld AND the Identity App from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) 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 AppWorld (during which a fresh version of the Identity App should also install)
http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Cheers!

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.

Since updating blackberry app world facebook app wont work

since i updated my blackberry app world my facebook app wont work? any ideas why?

Since updating AppWorld has nothing to do with the Facebook app there is no way to know why your Facebook app won't work. Did you update anything else after updating Appworld? Do you have a BB data plan on your account? This isn't always necessary any more but either wifi or some type of data plan is required for the apps to work..

Can no longer login to Blackberry App World or get a password reset, please help!

I cannot login to My Blackberry App World on https://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/login/
I have entered my email and password but it is rejected.
When I ask for a password reset I am prompted to answer a security question. The security question I am given is one I have never set, so I do not know what the answer is meant to be!
Consequently I cannot get a password reset so am unable to access My Blackberry App World, either on my phone or on a pc.
What has happened to my account and why can I no longer log in..?

Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
Issue resolved.

Blackberry App World not working after update to 3.1.0.58

I have a Bold 9650. I am running BB version 6.0 Bundle 2333, Yesterday (12/25/2011) App World told me I had an update to App World. It was for version 3.1.0.58. I was at 3.1.0.56 at the time. I accepted the upgrade. After the restart, App World no longer shows up as a running application. I have restarted the Bold twice, and I can not even find the app in the "All" screen. It is listed in the Options->Device->Application Management but says it has never been used. I'm new to this beast and am stuck. Any idea how I can go back to 3.1.0.56 - which worked for me? After this, I am going to be a bit more careful before allowing updates.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

When I enter www.blackberry.com/appworld/download in the blackberry browser, it redirects me to http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/index.do which tells me to "View Blackberry App World Availability" which in turn gives me a list of countries. But no download link or any other link - just a flat list. And, of course, it does include the USA....
So, I brought up the URL in IE after hooking up the Blackerry to my laptop, which has the plugin installed. I got the page with 2 options. "Enter an email address and it will send to my mailbox a link to the download." So I entered my email address and it sent me a link. The link that it sent me took me right back to the "View Blackberry App World Availability" page. Nothing.
The other option said to plug in the Blackberry, which was already plugged into the USB and communicating. Supposedly this will install via the USB port. But it returned the following.
"Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone.
Which again gets me nowhere.
This is crazy. Can't wait to get rid of this useless "SmartPhone". What a joke. But thanks for the help...

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?

Unable to access "My payment options" or "Blackberry ID" from my account in Blackberry app world

Greetings,
I am able to log into my blackberry app world account using my email address and password. Once logged in, if I click "My payment options" or "Blackberry ID" I am prompted for my username and password again. Entering my email address and password will not work at this point - there is no error message, it just clears the username and password fields and prompts for the username and password again in a perpetual loop. I have tried using different browsers and different computers.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It was not working from the device - so I tried from the PC and encountered the problem. After a power-cycle of my Blackberry it started to work.
Thank you, problem resolved.
Thx

Blackberry App world is not currently available in your country

'Blackberry App world is not currently available in your country, Please check blackberry.com/appworld for updates.' - Whenever I try to access to blackberry app world I get a pop-up saying what I have written previous. I am from the United Kingdom and have been using App World previously, the last time I used it was about an hour ago so it is only a recent problem. I have updated to the latest software not too long ago, I have reinstalled App world and still no joy.
I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what is happening?
Thanks in Advance,
Aaron

Do you have a SIM card in the device (some Verizon devices do come with one inserted, and in the past that might have been the cause of the device being recognized as NOT from the appropriate carrier.
Remove the SIM card if you do have one (for Verizon, the SIM does nothing for you anyway as long as you are not traveling internationally).

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!
