Flash Pro debugging on Nexus 7 via USB didn't work - at first.

I had a wonderful day so far. Although I have debugged on my Nexus 7 in the past, today it just didn't want to work.
Perhaps there are some bugs to be found here, but I'll leave that up to Adobe to decide.
I'd already been testing an app on my Droid 2 phone and then I switched to my Nexus 7.
Notification says its connected for USB debugging. Clicking on the notification brings up the developer option menu, but I notice its not in my settings screen where it used to be. (Must have disappeared after the last system update.)
I goto settings -> About tablet -> click the build number 7 times ( I hear its 10 for the Nexus 10)
Device now says I'm a developer and I can access the Developer options from the settings menu.
USB debugging is already checked.
Using the Nexus 7 notification I switched USB connection from a media device to a camera device.
I try to debug my app in Flash Pro, AIR for Android 3.5.0.880 but it just hangs when trying to load the app via USB.
I check the Win7 USB drivers - they are up to date. I uninstall and reinstall them anyway.
I made sure I had the latest version of Android SDK installed - no new USB drivers show up though.
Since I'm debugging, it has toggled off captive runtime.
I go to Android platform tools and run adb logcat from a cmd prompt and it can't seem to kill the outdated server and create a new one.
I visit StackOverflow. From advice I found there I open up my Win7 Task Manager and found 8 copies of ADB.exe running.
I kill them all. But every time I have to cancel out of a hung-up attempt by Flash Pro to publish to a USB device, more of those ADB.exe tasks get left behind and they have to manually be killed.
Now I can run adb logcat and see my device logs.
Finally it dawns on me that my Nexus 7 is running the latest version of AIR 3.7.0.186
On a hunch, I switch Flash Pro up to using AIR for Android 3.7.0.1530 and try again to debug. It forces to captive runtime and then runs the app on the device.
Turns out my Droid 2 device, which was running the debug app just fine, was running AIR 3.7.0.166. So I updated it to the latest version of AIR just to see if it exhibited the same problems - fortunately it didn't.
What irony. I'm developing on AIR 3.5 because AIR 3.7 forces captive runtime on my app and I don't always want that. But now it appears that AIR 3.7 has the added "benefit" of preventing debugging of older, non-captive runtime AIR apps on some devices. Actually, after further testing I can't even publish an AIR 3.5 captive-runtime app (debug off) straight to the device. No error though - just a silent hangup. I suppose that's one way Adobe can force developers to upgrade to the latest version of AIR and just accept having captive runtime forced on them. I have to wonder though if all my previously published apps are now going to stop working if users upgrade their devices to AIR 3.7.0.186. I really hope not.
Update: I can still side-load an AIR 3.5 captive-runtime app onto my Nexus 7 and run them.
  And older AIR 3.4 versions of the apps I work with still function on my Droid 2 running the latest AIR 3.7 runtimes. That makes be feel better.
I hope this info helps other developers.

Thank you! This is the only thing that fixed my problem after hours and hours of searching.
I had the same problem with the publishing never completing. It turns out that I was publishing to AIR 3.4 while my device has 3.8. Updating the SDK solved all of my problems. Thanks again!

  • Debug on device via usb is disabled

    I have an iPhone4 plugged in via usb.
    I an create ipa files and put them on the phone using iTunes.
    I would like to be able to use the test/debug on device via usb, but in the menu, it's disabled.

    Thanks for the quick reply. 
    I wonder if it is an Android only capability, but Adobe® didn't tell us this because they would lose a ton of money. 
    That ability was the only reason I upgraded.  I had to jump through many hoops in my company to get IT to approve it.  And now its no better than CS5 for my purposes.

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • When I start-up my computer it has a Flashing ? in a Folder. I removed the HDD as then plugged it in via USB and it worked, but just won't work with it inside the Macbook.

    So, I just had a bit of a hurried train journey, two connections very close together, resulting in my laptop bouncing around a bit inside my bag (in a case). The Macbook was shutdown the entire time, but when I tried to start it up it came up with a flashing folder with a "?" in the middle of it after the start-up "bong".
    I proceeded to remove the hard drive to check if it was okay, and it worked fine via USB into my iMac, so I am now running my Macbook Pro from a hard-drive that is completely naked outside of its shell.
    What could have gone wrong other than the hard drive, bairng in mind that it is all working perfectly well with the hard-drive plugged in via USB. I was thinking it could be the ribbon cable that connects the hard-drive internally, however I had this replaced not long ago after a previous complete hard-drive failure, but that's a story for another time.
    If anyone could help I'd be very appreciative, as my macbook looks ghetto as all **** right now, as I have the hard-drive sellotaped to the left of my trackpad.

    If Apple was the one that replaced the ribbon cable, return it. If not, run AHT (Apple Hardware Test).

  • How do I print from wifi-connected MacBook Pro to printer connected via USB to Win7 PC?

    This is really frustrating, and I did not think that anything could be this difficult on a Mac. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium desktop PC connected via ethernet cable to wireless router, and a printer connected to the PC via USB. I recently bought my first ever Mac - a MacBook Pro, which is connected via wifi through the same router. All I want to do is to print files from the MacBook Pro on the printer connected to the PC. I have spent a LOT of time searching all over the web. Have tried some 2 or 3 different methods but none of them work for me, e.g. I shared the printer on the Win7 desktop and then added the printer on the MBP with the IP option with LPD/LPR Protocol, after enabling LPD Print Service on the PC. The printer gets added but when I give the command to print from the Mac, the print job shows up on the printer queue but the "Printing" soon changes to "Error Printing" (or something like that) and nothing gets printed. Then, I have to switch off the printer, remove the print job from the queue and switch on the printer again to get it out of the error state.
    I also tried setting up the printer on the MBP using CUPS Admin interface, i.e. localhost:631. Again, printer gets added but document does not print. The third way I tried to add the printer was using the Windows option in the Add Printer dialog, and typing in an smb: URL but no luck with that, either.
    Please, can anyone help me? This is driving me crazy
    Oh, and the devices are:
    1) Windows 7 Home Premium Desktop PC
    2) MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion
    3) HP Deskjet F2110 printer
    Thanks...

    First Install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. This will allow the printer to be discovered.

  • Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

    Hi ,
    Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
    I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
    Many thanks !
    G.   

    iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks.  It also has a tabs for Photos.
    If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air.  So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
    As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

  • Can MacBook Pro output digital audio via usb?

    I'd like to output digital audio via usb. Can it be done from iTunes? This would allow me to go directly to my dac and then to my preamp.
    Thanks.

    Russell, there are quite a variety of devices that accept digital audio over USB from any mac with a USB port - see http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Product/USBAudiodesc.htm for one example.
    Try a google on MAC USB Audio OUTPUT any you should pop up some useful options.

  • IPhone 5 contacts local sync via usb doesn't work - updated

    Syncing an iPhone 5, AT&T 64GB, with Macbook Air 11" mid-2011, 1.8GHz / 4GB.
    OS X 10.10.2; iTunes 12.1.0.50; iOS 8.1.3.
    I am trying to sync my contacts from my OS X Contacts App to my iPhone 5 via USB. The contacts do not sync. The contacts are local, "on my mac". I am using a usb cable through iTunes.
    The iPhone 5 was just restored by Apple Configurator, set up as new iPhone, and is supervised by the MacBook Air.
    I am also synchronizing my local Calendars from the OS X Calendar app; these transfer just fine. This makes me think it is probably not to do with the entire setup of the iPhone, i.e. that it is managed by apple configurator, since some of the sync works correctly.
    Under "info" in the iTunes sync dialog, I have selected the "sync contacts" and "all contacts" and "sync calendars" and "all calendars" options.
    Interestingly, while the Calendars sync options displays options of "selected calendars" and a list of my calendars available to sync, the Contacts section "selected groups" is grayed out. I have one group in Contacts, and it does not show up by name for "selected groups". Instead, the area where groups should be listed for selection is empty. Perhaps iTunes does not have access to my local contacts? It is not listed under apps with access to my contacts under security and privacy, and it has not requested access to my contacts.
    I created a fake contact on the phone and synced it with iTunes. I then turned off contact syncing in iTunes and told it to remove previously synced contacts. The fake contact disappeared. When I turned contact syncing on again, the contact was again pushed to the phone. However, the fake contact did not appear at any point in the OS X Contacts App, and none of my OS X Contacts appeared on my phone -- only the fake contact I had created on my phone and then synced with iTunes.
    I also created a (different) fake contact in OS X Contacts. iTunes sync did not transfer this contact (or any others) from OS X Contacts to iPhone.
    SUMMARY:
    - syncing iPhone 5 via USB with iTunes
    - Calendar sync works
    - Contacts sync doesn't work
    - iTunes appears to have no communication with the OS X Contacts app; in system prefs > security and privacy > privacy > contacts, Pages and Word have access to Contacts, but iTunes is not listed. iTunes Contacts sync "selected groups" does not display my OS X Contacts group names.
    - Contacts created on iPhone sync back to iTunes and are restored back to the iPhone if deleted and resynced.
    - Contacts created on iPhone do not sync back to OS X Contacts; Contacts in OS X Contacts do not sync to iPhone.
    (apologies for premature posting to "Using iPhone"; I accidentally submitted and now can't delete or edit).

    Here's the resolution: I went to my local Apple store and spoke to the guy. After some discussion it turned out that one of the staff had had a similar problem. He suggested this course and I can report that it seems to work. So, (1) open your system preferences and then the print & fax setting and delete the printer in question (2) disconnect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (3) shut everything down and turn off power to your modem, your TimeCapsule and your whole system (4) power on each item in its normal sequence (5) wait for your iMac to complete its boot-up, (6) re-connect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (7) open system preferences and search for and install the relevant printer (8) try printing.
    This is hardly elegant, but it worked. I am told (by the same Apple store) that hitting the "reset" button in the TimeCapsule might also work. If this is intuitive or obvious to anyone else then my compliments to them ...

  • Digital audio via USB no longer works since IOS8

    Hi,
    I use the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" (ref MD821ZM) to connect my iPhone or the iPad to my Bowers and Wilkins speakers MM-1 USB cable.
    This allowed to use the B&W internal DAC.
    It has worked fine in IOS 7 and it was a fantastic feature and easy to use.
    IOS no longer streams the music digitally to the DAC. it just keeps playing the music from the iPhone/ipad internal speakers.
    I truly hope this is only a bug and not a feature Apple has voluntarely decided to remove, which would be a shame because it doesn't harm anyone to keep it.
    or anyone has a suggestion (app or something)
    thanks,

    b,
    We are in business. I charged the iPod via the cigarette lighter (didn't take long). When I plugged it into the computer after charging it I got the familiar ding-dong sound and the iPod updater immediately prompted me to update the software on the iPod (which I did).
    After updating, the computer no longer seemed to recognize it. I stopped all the USB devices that were running, one at a time until I finally saw Apple iPod in the list and I stopped that as well and disconnected.
    To make a long story short, after rebooting my computer and reconnecting the iPod, iTunes came up as normal and it looks like I'm over this hurdle.
    I have no idea why the computer wouldn't recognize the iPod when the battery was dead but suddenly recognizes it after charging it.
    My wife says that the iPod had been left plugged into the computer for a long period of time but I'm not sure what that would have done.
    At any rate, we're working now and hopefully someone will get some benefit from this thread.
    Thanks again,
    Greg.
