Why is my BBM no longer notifying me on my home screen?

When I receive a message on my Blackberry Messenger, my indicator light flashes, but it no longer shows the little smiley face on my home screen. It will show a red star by the BBM on my menu screen. This is also happening when I receive an AIM. This, however, DOES NOT happen when I receive a SMS message or an email.
Sounds like a simple problem that wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it's driving me crazy!!
Please help me?

Welcome to the forums Rachel
First thing to try is always the good old Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.
See if that fixes it for you!

Can no longer add bookmarks to my home screen

I can no longer add bookmarks to my home screen. As before, I get the choice of "Add to Bookmarks" and "Add to Home Screen", and after chosing "Add to Home Screen", I am asked to save the name as before, but the bookmark is not saved (or at least I can't find any trace of it amongst my home screen bookmarks, even after scrolling up, down and to the right).
As I already have quite a few (but not excessive) bookmarks, most in folders, I tried deleting some and then trying to add a bookmark, but without success. Restarting doesn't help. Problem was there before the latest software update, but was not fixed by update.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Hi Carolyn
I have just spent 3 hours reading and looking for an answer and came across your article here in respect of a similar situation I have with bluetortilla.
I recently dropped my macbook and had to have a new diskdrive replaced. I am a total novice in IT and had a long time in resetting and reconfiguring all my information and migrating my back up from my time machine.
However, since then I have been having alot of issues with Safari which I have never had in the 3 years I have been using Mac.
My problems currently are as follows, after each time I quit safari and when I close the mac and rebooting it.
1.    All my history is not there when I re-open Safari. Only the history from when I last migrate the data from my time machine is there. However, after following the your instructions to bluetortilla, the old history is now deleted and the history of today remains.
2.    Everytime I add a new bookmark and save a webpage into this bookmark, it disappears every time I quit and reopen Safari.
3.    Similarly, even when I save a new webpage into an existing bookmark, this particular webpage disappears when I quit and reopen Safari.
4.     I also deleted some of the default webpage in bookmark bars, but again these reappears when I quit and reopen Safari.
All-in-all, everytime I delete or add into my bookmarks during a session on Safari, seems to disappear the next time I quit and reopen Safari. Previously all my histroy disappear but it seems ok now after following your instructions here.
Would appreciate your advise and help here. It has been frustrating that I have not been able to save any webpages into my bookmarks or create any new bookmarks without it all disappearing the next time I open Safari.

Why do all my apps never open and return to home screen?

I installed my apps, but now every time I try to open one I am immediately returned to the home screen and can't use anything. Any ideas?

GREAT, thanks for the fix to a bizarre problem that was driving me crazy! You can always count on Apple discussions, can't say the same about this whole "2.0 transition", it's been a bit rough and I can't get push contacts or calendars from MobileMe to work, but I'll give things a couple of days to get back on track.
I had a strong feeling things would be difficult today after the WWDC keynote, particularly the whole push functionality given the myriad of syncing problems we've had to deal with in the previous non-push world

Why does my iPhone 4s stop midstream and return to home screen?

Had my phone checked at genius bar yesterday and they say everything is working just fine. But midstream of different applications, it stops and returns to homescreen. I try turning off and then on again, and it continues to happen, with various applications. Any thoughts? Also not holding charge as I think it should........

Thanks. I am reviewing the apps. I wonder if the number of photos, which is quite large, on the phone could somehow be contributing to faulty operation. I want to get the photos off the phone, but don't want to lose them on the computer. Do I turn off cloud backup from phone? I know this is off subject, but just wondering if this could be part of the problem.

Facebook IM - Why cant we have the IM head bubble on the home screen? That would be such a great feature..

I know you can Facebook head bubble on android and Jailbreak to have on the home screen. It's just an easy feature to enhance the experience.

Thanks! I know they dont have the access, I just wish they did. Messenger just keeps evolving, they just pushed out another huge update today. I find myself using it often. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy being on messenger, just wish it was more alive in IOS. If they did iMessage bubble on the home screens and apps to fast reply, that would appease me, just something more than an app.

Why is it taking so long to process my order?

Hey, I ordered CS6 Production Premium from the Education store on the 13th of September and my order staus is still pending.
I also uploaded my college ID on the Customer Support Portal on the 16th and it says "Pending Adobe Response".
Could anyone help me out here as to what's going on. Why is my order not being processed? Its becoming quite frustrating waiting for the order to be processed when it said Adobe would respond to my case within a couple of days of me uploading my college ID and dispatch the software soon after.
Can anyone help me out as to why its taking Adobe so long to process my order and how much longer do I need to wait before I can finally use the software...
Thanks.

Well, anybody who buys the software should be able to start using it right away by downloading and running the 30-day free trial for the product...
As for student academic validation, Adobe says it should normally take about two business days:

Why is it taking so long to back up on my external hard drive?

I have a WD 1TB 3.0 USB external hard drive & im transfering 200GB of data.
Why is it taking so long to back up all my data onto my exernal hard drive using time machine?
I turn it on every day for about 12 hours to backup.
I think it will take about 4-5 days to complete, is this normal?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

How long is "so long"?
Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection. Check http://www.download-time.com/
For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
Are there any 'other' solutions?

Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love.

Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone

Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone

What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you.
