How do I scan the barcode. When I press the buttons when i have a friends barcode on my screen it does not respond

your friend needs to display their bar code, or send it to you via email, or another means. Even print will work.
Open BBM and go to Invite Contact > Scan a person's barcode
You camera will come up. Point it at the bar code, orientation matters.
Don't try and take a picture, just point it at the barcode and let the autofocus do its thing.
