ADOBE CS 5.5 - great news for iPhone packager

So I believe the next update for CS5 will be a big one.
The new suite, which will reportedly be marketed as "Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Digital Publishing" suite, will showcase a new version of its "Packager for iPhone" application that will include support for not only Apple's iPhone, but also the iPad and the new crop of Android tablets, incorporating popular touch gestures like "Pinch."
Check out the sources...

I was giving figures for each case. A bunch of people were able to submit apps by October 6th 2009, admittedly with an alpha of the packager. Then many more submitted apps with a beta of the packager, right up to when Steve stepped in. The rest of the world could make apps for internal and personal use (on up to 100 devices) until September 9th, when Steve changed his mind. Politics aside, Flash could make iPhone apps throughout that whole time.
I realize that many people would think that it is implied in the marketing that Flash should be able to make iPhone apps that could be uploaded to the App Store, but Steve stopped everything (other tools too, not just Flash) on the same weekend as Adobe launched CS5. It was a very difficult situation for Adobe, and all they could do was let the feature remain in the product. A lot of us would have been unhappy if it was taken out, just as a childish reaction to what Steve had done. It did cause them to change their development direction, and put iPhone on hold, and go full strength on Android development. So, Steve's action was a huge boost for Android development.
About the "Flash would not keep up" part, it's very easy for Steve to have been an oracle about that, after all, he was about to ban Flash.
And with Retina display, it is very common for software to be released to support current hardware, and not so much future hardware. With the last packager development being about two months before the iPhone 4 came out, and with the amount of secrecy Apple have, it would have been hard for Adobe to be supporting the Retina display.
None of which means that you don't have a valid argument, and I would be very happy if the next round of packager updates was free to all CS5 owners, and that the feature set catches and overtakes what AIR apps on Android can do. But that's different than expecting to get a free update of the entire suite that you bought.

When the update for iPhone Packager will be available??

Anybody has any idea, when the new update will be available of iPhone packager? Does new update will be able to interact with the iPhone OS to load the images from the Camera Roll, if internet connection is available, message notification, badges etc...

I think the iPad 2 is great news for us. The amount of apps make with Flash that are on the store have proved that it can work. We just hit a bit of a performance wall currently. Now that the iPad 2 is dual core however we should be bale to expect much better performance. Of course true Objective C programming will always be more efficient but my point is that soon the quality difference between Objective C and the ios packager is going to be more transparent.
My only hope is that this doesn't discourage people from continusing to optimize their code. The one thing that has plagued Flash over the years has been sloppy code which I myself am partially guilty for I guess. The ios packager has forced many of us to learn the proper way of doing things.
Of course we have awhile before we can expect a perfect world. There are a lot of iPad 1's out there yet and it will be a few years before we can target only the iPad 2.
Finally I would love to see the ios packager expanded on. I think what Adobe is doing has been a good start. Of course we did hit that 6 month roadblock but now that we are back on track I hope to see the packager expanded to support more ios features.

Great news for Novation Remote SL / Automap iPhone users

At last..! I've checked it out, and it's all there. Now you can access all parameters and plugins.
Cheers.

Does it work with your Mk I or Mk II? I find with my Mk I SL 37 that it does work with all the Logic plugins but the workflow is still kind of quirky. I still need to change templates from 38(Instruments) to 39(Mixer/Transport) to use the unit. It's not bad, just quirky. I'm wondering if it works better with the MK II. Anyone know? Do you still need to switch templates or can everything be done from the MKII control panel...ie. using the Transport and Mixer buttons on the unit to get direct control of those functions?

New Laptop, clean start, except iTunes librarys, what news for iPhone?!

Hi,
I have a new MacBook Pro coming my way (very excited) a nice upgrade from my 3YO work horse iBook!
So, i want to start again, with regards to a 'clean' install. But i want to keep a couple of things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries.
A couple of questions then.
1) The first is actually pre-move over. In that i use 2 iTunes libraries, 1 for my laptop (with small number of songs) and one with an external drive (for all my music). I have only plugged my iPhone onto my laptop one. What happens if i plug into the other one by mistake?
2) When i move laptops, i know i need to copy the library folders from the music folder, to the new music folder, and also copy across the pref file. But what should i do about the iPhone? Will it be as seamless?
3) Any other tips and ideas to make my move as painless as possible!
Thanks
JJ

You need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. You also need to de-authorize your computer that is going back with your iTunes account with iTunes.
iTunes does not store photos. iTunes stores iTunes content only - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and 3rd party apps, and serves as the sync/transfer content for iTunes content - contacts, calendar events and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer, and for photos stored on your computer.
You need to transfer all photos from your work computer to your new computer as with all other data that you will need or want to transfer to your new computer.
The easiest way to transfer your entire iTunes library including playlists, play counts, etc. is be transferring the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder from your work computer to your new computer. If you have access to an external drive with enough storage capacity to store your entire iTunes library or iTunes folder, you can use that for the transfer, or you can network the computers together in some fashion. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the iTunes named folder copied from the Music folder on your old computer in the Music folder on the new computer. Launch iTunes on the new computer and it will be identical to iTunes on your work computer.

Where do I send great ideas for iPhone and iTouch applications??

I have some great ideas that Apple might be interested, but how do I let them know what they are. I don't want to ring as it would be an expensive international call!
If anybody working for Apple is moderating these forums could you please contact me and let me know what to do?
Or if any of you guys know how to speak to them, leave your comment.
My app ideas are fun and enjoyable, I'm sure you will be downloading them in the near future!

You can find an app developer and let them know.
I doubt Apple will accept unsolicited ideas, but you could use their feedback link if you feel compelled to do so.

Great News for Java Game Developers!

Finally, a complete game engine is being developed for Java! Mind2Machine is developing a genre-neutral game engine that goes way beyond a simple 3D Library.
The engine is called: OpenMind Alpha v0.7 and includes many useful game programming libraries. Say goodby to C++ and complicated engine builds/API's.
Mind2Machine is currently working on OpenMind v1.0 and they need experienced Java programmers to help develop new items. There are a lot of libraries on the drawing board, here are just a few:
-Java Physics engine
-All purposes particle system
-Collision detection
-And much more...
OpenMind is open source and is developed under the LGPL license.
I'm trying to get the word out, because I believe we could all benefit from this engine.
If you're interested in the engine and/or you would like to contribute to the development of the next version(s). Please visit their webpage:
http://www.mind2machine.com/gb/openmind/index.php
Check out their developers link, and spread the word!

I got openmind, and started to install it... and then 20 minutes later I realized I hadn't really gotten anywhere and I had to download other software just so that I could install the rest of it, and that software had its own set of bogus instructions... so I got pissed and closed it all :P

Qosmio G10: News Flash - Great News for Capturing!!

I own a Qosmio G10. I live in Australia and purchased the notebook here. I like to keep things upto date and was scanning the Australian Toshiba website when I came across a special up-date for Qosmio owners Here's the link
http://www.isd.toshiba.com.au/cgi-bin/ai1.exe/topic/content/driver_search_list.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1490231535 .1109544574@@@@&BV_EngineID=eaddckkmlflebfdhcjkcfg ldkf.0&theAction=true&CATOID=-15058&MODE=NPRO&ProductMenu_0=Notebooks&ProductMen u_1=Qosmio&ProductMenu_2=897343&x=21&y=4
I am yet to try it but have installed it and using WinDVD creator I can choose to capture from S-video, Composite video or TV tuner. This may be just what we've all been waiting for. You can change the quality settings as well. I've looked on the international Toshiba website and can't find it. Anyway I hope it works for you all. There are some release notes for the utility on the page as well. Good luck!

hello msnealo,
i come from germany and was very sick about this situation with the tv line qosmio too.
i got your advice and load the driver from this link.
great, it works! this is the solution for all owner of qosmnio computer!
thank you very much for your helps! (No one of Toshiba in the Supportcenter could help me bevore, ... thats service an competence!)

Great News for BT Car Kits for N85 users

The new N85 (us version anyway) has
Bluetooth profiles including:
Phone Book Access Profile (Server)
This should enable the phone to automatically sync contacts with most car kits. I have a US model 2007 Mercedes and this should enabke it to work probably.
I preordered the phone and expect delivery within 2 weeks. I hope it works.
http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/phonecompare/n85/n85_tech_specs

Unfotumatelty - the additional BT profile did not help transfer the contacts to my Mercedes BT unit. I guess the "server" part of the profile waS OF NO HELP.
I ended up buying a Viseeo0 MBU2000 unit to replace my mercedes puck in the armrest compartment.
It also did not transfer phonebook automatically but it does allow me to transfer the contacts via OPP and it also allows me to use voice dialing through the mercedes system.
Not as automatic as I was hoping for but much better than it was.
All in all, the Viseeo0 is a pretty good alternative for people with Mercedes and the newer Nokia phone models.
I believe that some of the E series work a little better with some BT units.
2006+ Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Infiniti's seem to have a tough time with the Nokia N series.

HT4623 My iOS is showing downloaded, but I can't install. Can anyone tell me how? Please. I am new for iPhone things.

I was updating my iOS 6.1 to 6.1.3, but my phone battery was only 27%. I don't know must at least 50%, the update only can worked. So I cancelled it, and charge my phone. During charging, I try again the update (it shows Downloaded below). I have been tried many times, but it still unavailable.

It fixed.

Great Firmware for E70 from the E61i?

Hello!
After wining an E61i recently and comparing the performance to my E70 I noted that the E61i software handles the memory far-far better than my E70 with the 3.x firmware. (The E61i had more than 20 MB free system memory after 2 days, while my E70 can get down to 11-12 MB in one day.)
As I noticed previously that the Firmware numbers of the E70 and the E61 for the 3.x firmware have been identical - sending the message that the firmware for the two phones are identical - I started to wonder, whether the firmware of the E61i would also run on the E70 especially because it is closer hardware wise than the E61 (without the i).
It would be great if Nokia would just release the same firmware for the E70 which they have now on the E61i.
I have had a discussion with Nokia Care, and here is the most relevant part:
"I was aware of the fact you wrote in your answer, that each phone has their own firmware updates. Acctually this was the very reason why I contacted you, to request from you to release the same firmware software awailable for the E61i also for the E70 so I would be able to upload it on my E70. If the firmware software for the E61i would be able to run on the E70 also, than it is only a matter of making the same software availableto be uploaded on the E70. That is what I am asking for.
I am happy to see that in your latest answer you do not claim any more that the E61i firmware would not run on the E70 but you only say, that it is not possible to upload that firmware on the E70. That is great news for
me, as it hints that it might just work fine on the E70 also if You make that exact same software available for the E70.
That is what I have been asking for.
I hope this clarifies my point, so could you please check with the E-series phone developers whether the firmware of the E61i would run on my E70? And so if it does, please release it for the E70 also!"
Nokia Care could not advise in this matter and they sent me here.
How should we proceed from here?
Best Regards!
Aron

I forgot to mention that I love my E70 and would like to unlock it to full potential by better memory handling.
The memory handling of the E61i is fantastic!
If they would not say that it is without FP1 I would belive it is an FP1 device...

IPhone Packager File Size

I just experimented with the new cs5 iPhone packager and noticed that although my little test app just had some movable text the app file size was already 5mb. Can any explain this to me? Am I missing out on some way to reduce the file size. I am just wondering what will happen if I have actual app assets in there as well.

using class files won't decrease file size substantially.
i've published about 20 ipad apps and the ipa file size is pretty close to the sum of the swf + loaded assets size IF you're loading significant assets. otherwise, an ipa file with almost no assets will be about 3.5mb.
that said, why do you care how large the ipa file is (as long as it installs)?

How big is the Adobe team for developing the iphone packager?

How many active full time developers are working on the iPhone packager at Adobe currently? I'm a bit curious since it would help me get a realistic idea how long it will take for new versions of the packager might come out. This is not to be taken as criticism (I realize the product is still in beta).

Steve,
I printed out the table of contents and the sample chapter using 100%. The print is too small for me to read. The first page looks great - comfortable to read, but this is 14.00 X 10.00 iinches. The next pages came out of the printer at 7.00 X 10.00 inches. I'd need a magnifying glass for this. Too bad. I know I'd learn a great deal from your book.
Last month I got Photoshop Elements 11 for Dummies. The print size is perfect even under the graphics. And with this book there is none of that gratuitous humor that you often see in the Dummies books.
I should probably start a separate thread for this but perhaps you could give me a short answer. If you do a video that requiers a teleprompter, what kind do you use? I'm going to make three minutes videos for my websites and perhaps for Facebook in both English and Spanish. Even though my clips will be 250 words or less, it's hard for me to deliver the Spanish from memory. But I hate to pay over $600 for a teleprompter. Do you have any suggestions for a penny-pincher?

Adobe Fill & Sign for iPhone

Hi there,
I just back from the official product launch of Adobe Acrobat DC in Hong Kong.
During the launch, one speaker said that he got the job from Adobe in eight months ago and the witness of his employment contract is signed by his wife during office hour and is signed through her mobile phone. I found that the app is quite convenient and so, I try to download the app to see the real power. However, I just found an app called "Adobe Fill & Sign" for iPad.
After that, I search here and check what is going wrong. I found a user that facing same problem with me. One of Adobe staff replied the app "Adobe Fill & Sign" can use in iPhone & place a link of that app Q & A sheet to that user. I also checked but no any solution on the page. After a while, there have another staff from Adobe and told the app is just for iPad with no any reason for explain on the issue.
It totally mess. Can anybody clarify the issue? If there have an app for iPhone, why we can't found on iTunes? If the app just serve iPad, why the guy made a fake story to promote your brand new Adobe Acrobat DC product in an official product launch?
Please clarify.
Tony Lam

I do apologize if there was marketing that showed or stated that it supported iPhone but Adobe Fill & Sign is currently iPad only, there is also an Android version that does support Android phones (Lollipop). The team that works on the app is definitely aware of the requests for iPhone support, maybe that will come soon but I can't say either way.
Thanks,
Josh
