Playbook can't see my files

I had a weird pop up with a long message warning last night when opening the e-mail client. I tried opening several times and I would always receive that message (something related with a PIM number).

 

After a few tries, I restarted the PB. the message wen't away, but my interface was restored to the initial state (all my icon organization was gone). I made a new organization and thought everything was fine.

 

Now, I am noticing the PB can't see my files. they were not deleted, I still can see them through my computer. But the music player says it has 0 songs, the file manager can't see anyfiles, the "pictures" app can't see all the pictures I took and so on.

 

Can somebody help me?

Re: Playbook can't see my files

Hi loftmusic,

I didn't hear about this. But I trust in Security Wipe magic. So make a back up of all required content from your PlayBook and do the Security Wipe. After this you may reinstall OS if you want to. To do this just connect powered off PlayBook to PC with launched BlackBerry Desktop Software.

Someone else may give you other tip.
Respectfully,
Oleg

Re: Playbook can't see my files

Thanks for the help. Apparently, it was related to low storage space. The pb was presenting a low storage space message, although I still had 100mb available. I removed some files and it's working well again.

 

thanks for the cooperation anyway!

Re: Playbook can't see my files

Just to be clear. The «Security Wipe» is an item in Security part of Options menu:
