I just got my blackberry z10 and I have the DDPB installer but when I plug in my blackberry and enter my iP address for my phone I get a error message saying "Error cannot connect: connection to the IP address refused you may have to reboot the Target" any ideas

I had a very similar issue using VNBB to side load apps. Same error message that you are getting. I checked the placement of the last two numbers of the IP address and it finally allowed me to connect.

You have to turn Development Mode on then connect your BB

You don't even have to use a USB connection. If you have both the BB and the computer on the same WiFi network, you'll see a different iPv4 number in the About/Network, enter it, and you can do the side loading by WiFi alone. That's the way I do it.

Yes I've tried all that but ill try that iP address

I've never had this problem with DDPB before but when debugging sometimes it will lose a connection and plugging in the usb connector fixes it (even if you disconnect it immediately after). Not saying this is the problem but plugging it in can't hurt.

Trying not to be pedantic but continuing with the help line style questioning, did you try rebooting it? Note that if you do you will need to turn development mode back on, it gets disabled when you reboot. I know I've had this error before but right now I can't remember what I did to fix it so I guess just keep trying the obvious methods for fixing things and double check your IP address and password and hopefully you'll stumble across the correct fix.

Someone earlier today posted that they were getting this error because of their AV software.

I got it once. I restarted my phone and it worked. Yeah, it sounds like a simple fix, and it mat be something bigger, but that worked for me.

I just use the Google Chrome extension. So simple.

You can use the PlayBook app manager extension which is available on the chrome Web store! , it works wirelessly and seamlessly
