  • 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. <br />
    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.<br />
    <br />
    Here is the error shown<br />
    <br />
    Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor. <br />
    <br />
    The &quot;MIDlet-Name&quot; attribute is missing<br />

    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!

  • 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..

  • Lost my blackberry app world icom

    go into applicatin management and delete it, then using a pc or laptop go to the blackberry app world http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/ plug your phone in and sign in, then select My World, (If it don;t connect, it will tell you to download something that wil take a minute or two, Download it) once you have a connection and your App's come up, select upgrades and click on App world and install it, wait for it to reboot before disconnecting your phone from the PC or Laptop. Good Luck

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Why can't I get Blackberry App World on my 8130 Blackberry Pearl?

    I have a Blackberry 8130 Pearl, with telus mobility and it won't let me load blackberry app world on it. Solutions or reasons for failure please and thank you.
    =^.^=
    Added note:
    I sent the email to my blackberry, opened it, clicked the links, but all I got was access denied.

    Try again -- a generic data plan and a Blackberry Data Plan are separate entities. I suggest you contact your carrier and find out if you have an adequate data plan from them to enable your access of AppWorld via their network.

  • Signing in to BlackBerry Apps World

    I am having a very difficult time signing in to the BlackBerry Apps World.  I have forgotten my password and also the answer to my security question is not been accepted.  I am getting very frustrated because the sign in locks me out for 15 minutes each time I try to make a guess.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Start first with these please:
    KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
    KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
    KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
    KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
    KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
    If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account.
    However, if you do not have access to that email account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
    If you have no AppWorld records that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    But, if you do have AppWorld records that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
    Good luck!

    thanks.

    1. Is this the acceptance of terms for using AppWorld itself, or apps you have downgraded?
    2a. what red sign?
    2b. That's a browser push message if it is yellow.

  • Blackberry app world storage space

    on the blackberry app world on my curve 9300, my storage space goes down by its self and has got so low that it is alerting me saying runing low on memory even tho i only have 3 app dowloaded....what can i do??

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    What that will do is get you to the max that you can have. But, you likely have an app that has a memory leak. Or perhaps you are opening apps but not properly closing them.
    Best!
