PlayBook Apps issue

Hi everyone,

Today I've gotten my Blackberry PlayBook and there's this issue: I can't install any new apps. Technically I can, but it won't appear in the start menu and I've no idea how to fix this problem. Restarting and/or reinstalling won't help.

Edit: Fixed, it's in a hidden area under the home screen. Thanks serbanescu!

Start Menu?

Your installing apps from BlackBerry World? Do they show as being installed from within the BlackBerry world app? If they are installed what happens when you click on one and then click open?

You have checked all home screen "pages" and there are no new icons?

You just got the PlayBook... is it new or used? What OS is it running?

You may also have to scroll up on each screen "page" to check if the icon is placed outside of the default screen area

Yes, correct and well... I can't open it. Actually, I can't open any of them.

Yes, this is the main issue.

It's used and it's running on OS 2.1.0.1917

I was wonder if anyone had the same annoyance?

Facepalm, I just had to scroll down from my original home screen. Like you said, the 4 installed apps were outside the default screen. I was expecting them on the second screen but it turns out that they were under my nose. Thanks and a like for you.

You're welcome! Glad to know it wasn't something serious
