AIR installer to install 3rd party app

Quick question:
Say I've got a working AIR app that needs to also bundle a driver (licensing okay) for some hardware that the app uses. Anyone know if its possible to launch the driver installer at the end of the app install?
I'm not finding good documentation on this particular and im wondering if there is a standard pre-install / post-install script I can create to handle stuff like this.
Cheers

Hi,
There's currently no way to have a post install step at the end of a native AIR install. Instead, what we recommend is to create a bootstrapper installer that does a silent AIR install, then when that is complete, installs your driver (or whatever process needs to be done).
Here's documentation on silent installations with AIR.
Thanks,
Chris

I can no longer install 3rd party apps to my ipod touch

When I try to install a 3rd party app, it begins the download, the new icon appears on the screen for about 1.5 seconds, and then the icon disappears and no download occurs. This happens 100% of the time.
My Apple ID on the iPod Touch is the same as the one for my iPhone. I can download apps for the iPhone no problem.
This iPod is running iOS4.2.1.

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

Hello,
I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps.
Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program.
I appreciate the help in advance.

Should 3rd party app installed from app store has admin or wheel in info box?

I installed a free program from the app store called Kitabu (an epub reader). Click on the info & it said wheel. I thought only programs came with the mac by default will have wheel and all other programs (ex: iWork, microsolf office) will have admin instead--which they do, I checked. Is this normal for 3rd party app to have wheel group?
Also the quick look plugin in this program (kitabu) works fine when I 1st installed it (quick look & preview function can view page cover of epub books). Then it stopped working. Is it the program fault or my mac?

Either or.
Trash the program's plist file which is located inside /Library/Preferences. Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.

Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Data Orchestration Engine and 3rd party apps...

Folks,
I have a third party mobile app that just won't go away (pun intended).
I will have a XMAM AND a 3rd Party App on 1 mobile device x's 1000's of devices.
Can I use Netweaver 7.1 DOE to synchronize my devices 3rd party app? I will have to develop new Business Objects of course.
CP

Hi Christopher,
you can use Netweaver Mobile 7.1 to download and deploy so-called mobile components. These mobile components will be always installed into the NW client container. In principle it is possible to create "client installers" which allows you writing a xml script containing installation commands. But as far as I know these commands are restricted to things like copying, deleting, file modification etc. Instaling a CAB-file for example will not be possible. And I guess this is what you are looking for, right?
In case, you want to deploy 3rd party apps written for Netweaver Mobile 7.1, deployment is definitely possible. You will create your app as mobile components containing business logic, data objects and UI in the designtime. These components you can remotely deploy through the DOE.
I hope this answer is helpfull for you. In case you have more questions, let me know.
Regards,
Stefan

Existing 3rd party apps I own - Will they be updated by the store?

So here's an oddity some folks have already noticed. The MAS (Mac App Store) recognizes installed Apple apps and some 3rd party apps. It seems to be tied to the version number and bundle ID of the app you have installed vs. the one in the store. For example, along with MAS recognizing my installation of iLife and Apple Remote Desktop on my MBA, it also recognized Things (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/things/id407951449?mt=12). It did not, however, recognize Evernote (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evernote/id406056744?mt=12). In that case, the version number was different and it also looks like autoupdating is pulled from the MAS version in lieu of the MAS' own update process.
So here's the question - if an app like Things is recognized, will it be included as part of the MAS update process?

Got an answer from a post Cabel Sasser made on Panic's blog:
http://www.panic.com/blog/2011/01/panic-on-the-mac-app-store/
Cabel:
UPDATE: The Mac App Store may show software bought from us previously as “Installed”, even though they’re two different licenses. You will not get Mac App Store auto-updates unless you purchase from the Mac App Store. To re-enable the “Purchase” button in the Mac App Store, just drag the app to the trash and empty your trash. Your preferences/sites will not be affected.
I hadn't considered the licensing issues, but it makes sense. So the answer to the original question is a confirmed no.
He also confirmed your theory that the application fingerprinting method is a combination of bundle ID and version number. The bundle identifier for Evernote is unchanged between 2.0 and 2.0.1, so I'm probably right about MAS only recognizing versions of apps which it has distributed.

How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it. All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this? I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
Thanks!

Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

Install 3rd party PDF iFilter for index PDF file as attachment in e-mail (msg)

I have called Microsoft Permium Support, base on the reply, SharePoint 2013 does not support to index a PDF file attachment in E-mail (msg) except 3rd party iFilter installed. And they finally told me how to edit Windows Registry for install the Adobe iFilter.
But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013.
Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.

You ca plan to use Foxit.
steps are nearly the same which we use in sharepoint 2013
1. We need to update registry for pdf . Registry value is {987f8d1a-26e6-4554-b007-6b20e2680632}
2. we need to install the foxit ifilter
Here are steps for same

Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Rebooted several times
Running 3.1 (7C144)
Thanks!

Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

Backing up 3rd party apps with Time Machine

After what started out as a simple question...why won't my iChat stay connected now that i have installed OS Lion and spending over 2 hours with Apple Phone support and trying all the known trouble shoots, they told me the only thing I can now do is Back Up my MacBook Pro and do a HD erase and reinstall everything. So, this has me a little freaked out! I have never done this and am afraid of the results. In particular, my 3rd party applications such as all my Adobe Suite applications. I no longer have access to the initial start up and install Creative Suite CDs! At first apple support said Time Machine WOULD NOT back up 3rd party apps. Then I get an email and said they were mistaken and it WILL with a link to an article. Yet I see nothing about it with in the article I was sent. SO, has anyone successfully reinstalled their Mac from a Time Machine Backup along with any 3rd party apps?
What is also frustrating is that I asked if I could just go back to Snow Leopard since I had no issues with iChat using that OS. I was told I would have to do the same erasing of my HD either way to reinstall that OS. Ugh.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
http://www.bombich.com/
Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive. This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from). You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.
