Adobe's use of SCUP and cumulative and non-cumulative updates

Seem to be having a problem with Adobe and their released updates for SCCM 2007 SCUP. Although each released update is added in to SCUP, there seems to be no logic working to correctly install the product (Flash or Reader are examples) so that SCUP
can correctly install from bare-bones to latest version, figuring out which updates need to be applied in the correct order.
I would think it could determine to apply the latest FULL version, then any non-cumulative updates in the correct order, but...that doesn't appear to be the case.
Is this a Microsoft issue, Adobe issue, or...working as designed, and you have to install EACH point upgrade, manually, as released?
Thanks.

The key issue here is that the Adobe catalogs only contain *updates*; they do not contain full installers. Second, Adobe has been grossly inconsistent in whether updates are incremental or cumulative (at least with respect to Reader). The best approach is to
publish them all (well, unfortunately, you can't publish all of the Flash updates, but those at least, really are always cumulative).

Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
function in the software, I don't get it.
When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
to work with, without being connected to them.
I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
the license fpr LR5 via internet.
Best regards
Karl

I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to restore the back up I made, iTunes becomes unresponsive and closes. But when I unplug the iPod, it starts working again. Using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated, please help.

I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to back it up, iTunes stops responding and closes. This only occurs when the iPod is plugged in, when it isn't, iTunes works fine. I am using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated (as of this posting). Any suggestions on getting around this? Thank you.

Also, when I put it through the Windows diagnostic, it lists an "incompatible program" WHILE my iPod is plugged in.

Data source for application using both pooled and non pooled connections

Hi guys.
I am integrating Oracle's connection pooling into an existing application that had formerly used dbConnectionBroker. It looks like this task should be quite straightforward. However, for consistency, I would also like to replace other Connection logic within the application to use Oracle classes. This will involve using OracleDataSource to obtain a Connection object. ( without pooling ).
So in this case, the application will use both pooled and non pooled Oracle connections. They will be connecting to the same database. The question I have is in regard to the use of data-sources.xml.
Are there any special considerations for the required attribute values within data-sources.xml under this scenario ?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Steve.

Hi Steve -
It should be feasible for you to define a single datasource using multiple location entries to indicate what sort of pooling behaviour you wish to use.
If you lookup and use the "location" attribute, you will receive a javax.sql.DataSource object which will not provide connection pooling.
If you lookup and use the "ejb-location" attribute you will receive a DataSource object that will support connection pooling operations.
Note that this is using the emulated datasource approach, and transaction support is limited to a single resource (one database) for these datasources - you won't get 2PC support for transactions.
If you need a transaction to span two separate resources (ie two databases in same tx) then you will need to use the non-emulated datasource approach.
There is a chapter in the J2EE Services Guide which describes the datasource model we have with OC4J. This might provide you with some more useful information. See Chapter 11 - http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/903doc_otn/generic.903/a97690/ds3.htm#1004903

The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

the adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions listed in the help section works! I've tried all the solutions listed but none seems to work.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it started a week ago

Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Select the country in which the iPhone was originally sold:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
You'll find a link to the carrier on whose pages you can probably find contact information.
As RG said, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. That is the only "way out". To have an iPhone that was "factory unlocked", you would have had to purchase it that way.

Which version of CC -- 13, 2014, or 2014.1? You'll find it under the Help menu > About DW.
Spry Menus are gone.

What is the use of with and without marker update?

what is the use of with and without marker update?

Hi,
Marker Update Updates the stock values and NO Marker does not.
Generally BX upload has to be compressed with MU and BF(and UM) delta init has to be compressed with NO MU because Stock was updated with BX. And delta loads of BF and UM has to be compressed with MU because these brings new Material movements which will has to give effect to stock.
With rgds,

I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me i need mac os 10.5 to do so. Today is the first day I have ever used a mac and I am not well versed on computers to begin with. What do I need to do?

I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and i want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me that I need to update to mac os 10.5. Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

I have a used macbook pro and i cant update the apps bought on the first owners account and i need to update the apps

hi i hav a used macbook pro running mverics and i cant update the apps that were purchased by the preveous owner on a different itunes acount and i need to update the apps thanks

It appears as if the OS currently on that machine was not the original OS? If so, you are running into this problem because the seller did not do what he was supposed to do - he was supposed to erase the hard drive and reinstall the original OS. And, if he got either the OS or any apps at the app store, they are not transferable as they are tied to his Apple ID forever. That is why you will have to pay for them using your own Apple ID. And, if he obtained the current OS at the app store, you may also run into another problem: you may not be able to reinstall the OS if needed as that is tied to the original Apple ID as well.

Premiere Pro CC only using 30% CPU and none of the GPU

Hi,
I’m very new to video editing (actually I have no Idea what H264, or avi or mp4 or mov is, I just need the video to work) and I have never used Premiere Pro before. Now I'm trying the CC 7.0 trial.
My goal is to achieve the fastest rendering times possible.
Today I have upgraded my PC for maximal performance in video editing:
Intel i7 4930K (12threads)
Radeon 6950 (2GB)
16GB RAM
SSD
I have a recorded video of me playing a PC game in .avi 2552*1348 resolution (2560*1440 monitor without some borders).
I have set export to H.264 and settings to match source (resolution 2552*1348, 30 FPS, Progressive, Square pixels, NTSC, main, 5.0).
But when rendering (no effects, just cutting) the program only uses 22-45% of the entire CPU and none of the GPU.
The best result with this stress was cca 1:1 rendering:movie length. I'm using 16GB RAM, I tried 32GB and 64GB and the stress on CPU and GPU was the same and the rendering times changed only slightly.
I have an SSD and the read write speeds during rendering are 1-9 MB/s so there is plenty of performance left.
Frankly, this 1:1 performance offers Power Director 11 which I have been using so far. (When editing 1080p the ratio in PP is cca 1:2,5, the same as in Power Director.)
So when the disks are idle, the GPU is idle, more RAM changes nothing and the CPU only works on 1/3 its capacity, what is the bottleneck?
I want to use 100% of the CPU and 100% of the GPU and have the rendering:movie say 0,3:1 or so.
What can I change to fully use the processing power of my computer?
Thanks

Technical Monitoring one template used for production and non-production system.

Dear All,
Is there a way to have one template in Solman Technical Monitoring for production system and non-production system with different alerts ? For example if it exceeds a threshold for production system it will trigger red alert or set automatically an incident and if it's non prod system it will go to yellow warning alert ?
Regards
Lukasz Goral

Hi Likasz,
You first create and customize the template, and then assign to a system.
If it was selecting a system and then customizing a template, then may be such functionality makes sense.
So, I don't think that is possible.
Better would be copy the template used for production to non-production and make the adjustment to it.

Adobe PDF 8.0 fails and so does updater in CS3

I'm just about out of ideas as to how to get CS3 to work correctly. Briefly, this is the story:
1. CS3 worked originally when I bought last year on a Mac Pro
2. In the last couple of months, the updater gave me a message that "The installation process encountered a problem...." CS3 still worked but I then noticed that the PDFmaker in Word or the Adobe PDF 8.0 print driver would not work: job would just queue and then disappear with no error message.
3. I figured something must be corrupted so today I ran the uninstaller for Acrobat and then the uninstaller for CS3. I then run the original CS3 installer disk and the program installed ok.
4. I then ran the updater and got the same message. The following components could not update:
Photoshop 10.0.1, Camera Raw 4.4.1 U, AIR update....S3 profess, Bridge CS3 2.1.1 Update, Start Meeting 10.1, Flash lite 3 Update for Device.., Asset Services 3.1.0 update, Illustrator CS3 13.0.1 update.
5. I still have the problem with the Adobe PDF 8.0 print driver not working (or PDFmaker).
6. Curiously, CS3 didn't ask me for my serial no. when I reinstalled so there must be a hidden file or files that did not get uninstalled.
7. Finally, IS THERE SOME WAY TO GET THIS TO WORK SHORT OF BUYING A NEW MAC or wiping the hard disk?
8. Running current version of OS 10.5.3
Thanks, I'm really not sure how to fix this and apparently one needs to pay for phone tech support?

I was able to fix the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer driver by running the updater and ONLY updating acrobat to v8.1.2. Apparently, the updater wasn't working for this if I just ran the auto-update.
Other problem with updater failing is not fixed and others have reported previously. I deleted everything containing "Adobe" in the name (except fonts) in the libraries after uninstalling CS3. I will only run the updater when I need a specific update in the future since the "update all" option is not reliable.
Updater is rather disappointing since I have not had this kind of trouble with an Adobe product in the past.
