Air running in a browser

Does anyone know if there are plans to allow Air apps to run
within a browser?
I'm new to Flex and Air (so i may be missing something), and
i think the concept of being able to run flex/web apps in a desktop
context is very nice, as well as the desktop API (file io, sqllite,
etc...); but why are AIR apps not able to run directly in a
browser? Why force a desktop deployment?
What would AIR in a browser mean? For me it means i can
create a flex webapp (running in a browser), that has access to all
the extended AIR API, like file io, sql database, offline support,
etc. The *exact* same app could be run in either a browser, or
desktop (or any other Open Screen in the future). A AIR/FLEX app
that runs in a browser might require that the app be signed (for
trusted access), or maybe the app could optionally run within a
restricted sandbox and not require any signing (similar to Java
applets). Having both options would be great.
But the key is having a single code-base to develop, and
giving users the option of running in either the browser or desktop
or both. For many types of apps and users i think it would be a
significant barrier to *require* installation and running as a
desktop app.
What would be really cool is doing something similar to what
is being developed for Java Applets. The latest Beta applets allow
you to drag, or "tear", the applet off the web page on to the
user's desktop. If a user does that, they are prompted to install
the applet as a desktop application (webstart app). Why not do
something similar for AIR?
https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/#EXPERIMENTAL_FUNCTIONALITY
AIR also includes other components that would be interesting
to integrate while hosted in a browser, particularly webkit. Would
AIR in a browser use the host browser, or webkit? Maybe it could
optionally do both? That would be cool to have AJAX running in
Internet Explorer via a webkit runtime. In that scenario your AJAX
may have more consistency across browsers. Same for the PDF engine.
It would also be nice if all the main components of AIR were
optional and could be mix-n-matched. What if i wanted to build a
pure FLEX app that could run in browser or a desktop, have full
access to the AIR API's (file IO, clipboard, drag/drop, sql,
offline), but no need for HTML or PDF? Why incur the weight if not
needed?
Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Marko.

Please vote for the following enhancement request if you are
interested in having the ability to run AIR apps within a browser.
It would be very nice to be able to develop a single
application that can run either in a browser or as a desktop
application (and have access to the AIR API). Many users may also
prefer not to install desktop applications.

Debugging java.exe (running in a browser) results in the process dying

This question applies to java.exe when ran in the context of a web browser (tested with both IE and Firefox). That is, a java.exe process started as a result of an applet being loaded.
When I attach to the java.exe process using a debugger (such as OllyDbg or Windbg) but don't resume the process within a few seconds when I do resume it the process (java.exe) terminates. It seems like there is something checking to see whether java.exe is responsive and signalling it should terminate if not. What I'm trying to figure out is whether that is a 'feature' of the JVM/java.exe or perhaps the browser process.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.

HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps.....

How do I get you to stop showing me all this unwanted crap and just run the damned browser?

I have 3.6 downloaded but it wont run because I can't get passed all the other crap customizing and just run the damned browser. That is all I am interested in, none of the other bull crap. What is so hard to understand? Keep it simple stupid. All I need is the Browser OKAY! Everybody in the world don't want that crap! Make it simple for people like me who hate this computer generation because it is all becoming about laziness and stupidity. Computers make people stupid not better. They are only a tool but technology and so called educators have taken the usefullness to far and most kids can't do math or history without some kind of cheating device. What are you gonna do when the computers die and the internet fails? Get a pen and paper, read some books and take a few investigative notes. Computers are not the answer to our problems.

Make sure that the getpersonas.com site is listed as an install exception:
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Site Preferences'.

InDesign problems on Macbook Air running Lion.

HI folks,
I have recently purchased a 2011 Macbook Air, running Lion. I have a copy of Indesign CS4 that I am trying to get running on this machine. I previously had it activated on my macbook pro and had no problems. I deactivated it from that computer and have activated it on the new machine. After creating a new document in InDesign I find that I get the beach ball and it won't do anything. Have any of you had a similar experience? Do any of you know the solution to this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
James.

Well, you haven't given us lots of detail - but only because there aren't that many details anyways, right?
Did you install from the original media? (It never would have occurred to me to just drag apps off one machine and drop them on another, but people do this sometimes.)
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall? (That's what I'd do first if a fresh install of a program was borked from the very beginning.)
Have you tried it as a new user? (If it works in a new user account, then the problem is with your user account, not with your install of ID.)
There are other things to try - search the forums for removing the SING datastore, or resetting preferences - but really the uninstall/reinstall should make it work right off the bat, and it also should take less time than actually diagnosing the problem & fixing it.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

Tell my wife that!
This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

Will AIR run on Windows Embedded Enterprise series?

Hello.
I found the following information in the Adobe forum, but was not able to find useful information.
In my expectations, I believe in the Windows Embedded Enterprise series (example:Windows 7 pro for embedded system),
because there is fully compatible with the desktop OS, AIR also work.
