hey guys,
I have a "little" problem with my new Playbook.
Since a few days I can't download new apps nor can I update any of those I have installed.

After a minute or so a message pops up:
"Blackberry App World is having trouble connecting to the Blackberry App Server. Verify your network connections and try again."

I tried to change the Blackberry ID on my Playbook as I read this could help but just couldn't figure out how. The browser and everything else works fine.

Many thanks in advance for your support.

I've seen a similar behavior on my BB before, and it was something server related.

Try this. (I did and it worked)

Go to settings.
Change date to the 2014th (Year)
Then exit. (Make sure your playbook thinks it is 2014 on the top bar)
Then go back and change it to todays date.
Then try again.

If it doesn't work then we obviously didn't have the same problem.

unfortunately this didn't fix it... =(

I have the same problem and playing with the date didn't resolve it

HOWEVER, connecting to a different wireless network does allow me to download. So I updated angry birds at a clients site today :-)

The only thing I can think is that I did use a VPN to buy some apps in USD instead of GBP, wondering if that has caused my problem

I had the same issue and changing the date worked to fix it
