Amazon UK and Playbook

Hi there,
I have been looking at buying a Playbook here in the uk. Yes you can get them at present from UK suppliers but know that it will us spec and would rather a UK one.
However the online pre orders like Dixons and PC world have a short window of return if you have a problem with it or need to return it should you want to get a refund. Therefore Amazon UK are far better in getting a new one sent should a problem occur but does anyone here know of a date when Amazon uk themselves will sell it and not via a re-seller?
Also can you let me know if you have bought a US spec one here in the UK, what is the downside re voltage etc?
Many thanks,

The lead / adapter is a two-pin US plug. You can buy an international to UK adapter for £5 from Boots.
The keyboard options are QWERTY or DVORAK. There is a language option, which I have attached a screenshot so you can see the options there. Otherwise, it is almost exactly like your BlackBerry keyboard with the ALT key options.
I would expect the UK models to be exactly the same as their US counterparts, except for having a three-pin charger instead. In fact, the voltage allowed on the US model does allow for UK 240v supplies. So you don't have to worry about it exploding.
If these are UK/US region problems, I haven't noticed.

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook?

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook? This is very important as we were told we would soon be able to publish on all devices and not just using the in-app service. My company is currently using the Professional Edition of Adobe DPS.
Thank you and best wishes,
Alex Rullo

Single-Folio-Apps (created with the Single-Edition or a professional licence) include the folio itself — resulting in a big app size.
Currently, the Android Market has a 50MB limit for .apk-Apps. (http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=113469)
At the Google IO this year they talked about raising this limit up to 4GB, but that is more complicated. the app itself still has 50MB of allowed size, but there are additional data handled by the android market that can be downloaded upon starting the 50MB .apk app from the android market.
that targets games mostly. Adobe has to think about a way to split up viewer and content to make use of this feature.
However, Multi-Folio-Apps are currently possible (only with Pro Edition) on Android. They are relatively small (2-5 MB) and the .folios are comming from the adobe servers (download costs!). You need to create a new role/magazine in the account administration and publish your app as a multi folio app.

There are sites like Amazon, Facebook and pages where I need to put info on that don't totally show all the points. How can I get them to show up? I usually have to guess

There are sites like Amazon, Facebook and pages where I need to put info like name, address, etc, that don't show where 'next' or 'skip' or 'continue' are. There is just alot of space. When I move my cursor around I have to guess if it's the right one and click

For some ways around this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered User name and password not remembered - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

Upgraded to Yosemite. Videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix crash frequently.

First time participant. Recently bought a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with an i5 processor. Laptop is in EXCELLENT condition. Upgraded memory from 4 gigs RAM to 8 gigs. The RAM is Mac certified, but not purchased from Apple. Running Yosemite 10.10.2. This laptop belonged to my son so I know the history of it. He had no problems watching videos when he was running previous OS X, up through Mavericks. It seems that once he upgraded to Yosemite, all **** has broken loose.
I am having a terrible trying to watch videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix. Sometimes it just locks up, and the rainbow wheel spins. Sometimes everything crashes and gives a kernel panic message. Other times it shuts the video down, and says that the plugin (Silverlight and Flash, both) have failed. The most worrisome is the kernel panic shutdown. I have tried everything, including:
Perused just about every discussion of same of similar problems on Google/Bing.
Re-setting the cable modem and wifi router.
Deleted Flash and Silverlight and reloaded fresh copies.
Adjusted settings in Netflix to the lowest quality and tried both Silverlight and Flash on Amazon Prime.
Tried three browsers, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
Adjusted the settings in all three browsers to try and optimize watching videos.
Started up in safe mode to see if the problems clear.
Pulled the RAM upgrades and put in the original 4 gig sticks.
Signed out from the owner account and signed in as Guest.
Called Apple customer care and spent over two hours on the phone, only for the supervisor - yup, supervisor! - to tell me he was stumped and would have to kick it up to the technical folks. Still haven't heard back from them.
After all these attempts to fix the problems, and then trying each "fix" individually, it is still virtually impossible to watch videos on Amazon Prime and Netflix without some type of crash part way through the video. None of these things happen on YouTube, by the way, or any other video sites I have tried. The only thing I haven't tried is starting all over again with a fresh install of Yosemite and all of its components. Really don't want to do that because I am afraid of losing the Microsoft Office 2010 Pro I have loaded. Paid a lot of money for a one-time use license.
Please, does anyone have a suggestion I haven't tried? I'm to the point of sacrificing chickens and invoking the spirit of Steven Jobs! Look forward to hearing some ideas.

Direct from Microsoft is the only safe place to get Silverlight http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/

I purchased an Apple TV and am pleased except. I have amazon prime and can get audio but no picture transfer. What is my problem?

I purchased an Apple TV and am pleased except I have Amazon prime and I am able to get audio but no video on the TV screen. I get audio and video on other sites so what am I doing wrong?

That is normal. The developer has to enable this, Amazon has chosen not to.

9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

Publish and Share Settings for Storing on Amazon S3 and linking on blog, in autoresponder, etc

I want to publish/share my Premiere Elements 11 video such that I can store it on Amazon S3 and then link to it in my blog, facebook, autoresponder. I know I DON"T want the Online settings because I am not directly uploading to YouTube, etc.
There are so many possible choices my head is spinning.
Are the settings for playing on a computer - what I want? And if so, exactly WHICH settings do I want? I tried the FLA settings, having read that flash is the way to go. But the final video looked really horrible. Please HELP! Thanks!

posturally
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on?
First, if you have not already, you will need to do some homework regarding Amazon S3 and its requirements for uploads to it for sharing purposes...requirements to include duration, file size, and formats (video and audio compressions as well as file extension), etc..
And, how is your Premiere Elements 11 project set up....
a. What is the project preset, and does the project preset match the properties of the source media?
b. What are the properties of the source media? (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame
Size, Pixel Aspect Ration (even if they look grayed out).
Based on the above, now your choices for the export setting...assuming that 1080p30 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second) is OK
with Amazon S3, then look at
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
That will give you an AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second).
So, more details and a look at the AVCHD.mp4 export if applicable to your project settings.
We will be watching for your follow up and results. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or to ask for clarification.
Thanks.

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France and Germany via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my naigator, but I've changed nothing and have RealPlayer on my PC

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France (and Germany, though they've now gone over to Flash, which seems to have fixed it after (re)installing Flash Player) via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my navigator (see box below), but I've changed nothing and have always had RealPlayer on my PC at least. The 'Aid' page is useless in that it does not provide any links to sites from which one could download whatever it is Amazon Fr thinks one now needs.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.amazon.fr (e.g. http://www.amazon.fr/Je-Souviens-Tout-Juliette-Greco/dp/B001PU6T04/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1277978559&sr=1-1)

Hello Neil.
It has been reported by other uses that RealPlayer is having some compatibility problems with Firefox. I believe this is mostly notorious with RealPlayer Plugin Record Plugin, but it may be the same thing here. Please contact RealPlayer developers for support.

Following an amazon link and then accessing the page makes firefox open another amazon page in a new tab. How do I stop this

I have this bizarre problem with firefox and Amazon (com and co.uk)
If I click a link (open in new tab) to an amazon page the page opens in a new tab. Fine.
If I then select that page (click its tab) the page is displayed and then a new amazon page opens in a new tab with the url http://www.amazon.com/?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&link_code=hom&tag=skipthemalls-20
If I close the new amazon page and return to the original amazon page the phenomenon does not repeat - not new window opens.
This does not happen in any other browser (IE or Chrome)
This does not happen on any other website.
I've scanned my PC (Malwarebytes and security essentials) and found nothing sinister
All forefox add ons are disabled. To be sure, I've started 'restarted firefox with add ons disabled' and the problem still occurs. I've even reset Firefox to its original state and still the problem occurs.
So now what?
Windows 7 Ultimate
Thinkpad R60 4GB

That page is coded to a particular "affiliate" (skipthemalls) and may have the purpose of setting a cookie to earn a cut of revenue from your purchase. If that is not caused by the site you visited that brought you to Amazon, it's hard to think of a reason for it to open. (Even then, you would think it would be processed transparently in the background.)
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

There were no results for I've downloaded the kindle app to my new iPad4 but when I went to Amazon UK and tried to download a book it said "this mobile app does not currently support digital downloads. I don't understand! I'm in the UK.

There were no results for I've downloaded the kindle app to my new iPad4 but when I went to Amazon UK and tried to download a book it said "this mobile app does not currently support digital downloads. I don't understand! I was told you could download kindle books from amazon straight to iPad if you download the kindle app first. Do I have to do it onto my computer and then sync it onto iPad? surely not?

Bluetooth, Blackberry bridge and Playbook not linking to Q10

Please.....
After checking settings and browsing the Internet for possible problems or fixes, I'm having frustrating problems in linking my phone and playbook when they worked fine before a few wks back, does anyone know if this has been a recent problem or if this has been resolved, it does seem a waste of my 64gb playbook if I can no longer use Blackberry bridge (link from Q10 still doesn't do what it is meant to do as it did with me 9800) or bluetooth link up? Please i'm going spare here trying to fix or search for updates that always say 'unavailable for this device', starting to regret getting my new Q10 that i've had for 3mths where bridge doesn't work, bluetooth doesn't get connected properly and useful apps are not available for new Q10 device, my playbook worked wonders with my 9800!
CTEvans

Your Playbook will never work with the Q10 like it did with with your 9800. That's just the way it is.
I would try disconnecting both devices, unpair them, and then reboot both devices and reconnect using the Bridge app. Once they do connect about all you can do access the Internet on the Playbook using your Q10.

How I download a MP4 series of videolectures (that the seller has stored in Amazon S3 and has sent to my iPad email address--which is different from the one I use from the MacBookPro) from my iPad to my MacBookPro-.

How I download a MP4 series of videolectures (that the seller has stored in Amazon S3 and has sent to my iPad email address--which is different from the one I use from the MacBookPro) from my iPad to my MacBookPro (so that I can the save them in iTunes and then synchronize some of the videolectures to the iPad?)

To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB).

Syncing BB 9900 and Playbook with Laptop

Hi
Both my BlackBerry 9900 and Playbook will no longer sync with my Desktop Software. They both used to do so but the bottom right hand corner of the Desktop Software displays as 'disconnected' even though if I use Windows Explorer I can locate each item on the menu with limited access to certain files.
I'm not sure if there is a conflict since upgrading the OS's of each instrument?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as I need to sync my 'Organizer' (Contacts especially)
Thanks

You want to export your bookmarks and settings out of OS X Firefox so you can import them into Windows Firefox?
You do this by selecting the Bookmarks menu in Firefox > Show All Bookmarks
There is a Star icon at the top of the window which you then can export Bookmarks to HTML file onto your Desktop or onto a USB thumb drive.
Then take that to the PC and use the same method to import them into Firefox there.
There is a Firefox Sync in the Preferences menu, but I havent' used it so I can't advise.
In Safari there is a Export Bookmarks under the File menu, you can then do the same, place it on a USB thumb drive and take it to the PC.

Can I use the same Adobe ID for Amazon AppStore and Google Play?

Hello! We've been on the iPad for two years now and have finally taken the leap designing a version of our magazine for Amazon's Kindle Fire lineup. I'm curious whether we can share an Adobe ID between Amazon AppStore and Google Play, so that all of our Android folios stay in sync whether the user is on Amazon hardware or another vendor.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Yes, you can use the same Adobe ID (Title ID) for both Amazon Appstore and Google Play Store. In DPS App Builder, create two separate apps, each time specifying the target store (in the App Builder, Google Play is still called Android Market). However, I do not recommend that you use the same Adobe ID for iOS and Google/Amazon unless you're offering custom entitlement (Enterprise only).
One key difference between Kindle Fire viewers and Android viewers is that Kindle Fire viewers don't display the nav bar. Here's a detailed article about targeting Android/Amazon devices:
