ANN: Adobe Spry User Group launched

Hello,
I'm honored to announce the launch of the first Adobe Spry User Group, Spry-it. In all the years I have worked with Spry both on a personal as well as on a enterprise level I came to realize that there really little blogging, articles, documentation and information written by the community for the community. There are a few youtube video's here and there. But its all scattered over the place. Spry-it aims to solve that by attempting to become a center point of community driven content, providing users with new ways to receive information and learn about Spry from RSS feeds to Adobe Wave notifications till e-mail newsletters. Not only will we attempt to bundle and organise content, we will also be providing you with content and Spry related services.
A few highlights that we attempt to provide:
A new searchable, API system, that actually contains all the information about the Frameworks methods. Not only the once the Spry team has documented. This will allow users to find more advance, and sometimes more powerful methods that will make it easier to create or polish their applications.
Articles, this will range from skinning a various of widgets. Till creating your own widgets. But also explaining best practices and performance tricks they can apply to improve Spry it self.
A desktop application that will wrap all the information for the users, providing offline documentation that will automatically update it self once connection with internet has been created.
New demo's, these will push Spry to its limits providing you insights to advance techniques with little code.
Working with new platforms, think about Iphone, Adobe AIR, Aptana Jaxer, Palm Pre.
And much more.
So sign-up, its FREE And you just use your Adobe Account to log in. http://groups.adobe.com/groups/f1621de53b/summary
If you have idea's for your self, I'm still searching for a co-manager. The only requirement is passion.

Is bumping allowed in this forum?
I cannot find anything in the guidelines on the subject.

Personally I don't mind bumping a few topics here and there. For example if something requires attention. But just posting the word "bump" will be considered spam. The bump content needs to add some sort of value to the topic.
As for Spry-it.com progress. We are currently running on our staging server, connecting the nuts and bolts with the screws .
The Adobe groups platform is getting updated and I hope to get something running on Spry-it.com by that.

Industry Standard for Adobe LiveCycle Users/Groups on AIX environments.

I wanted to know if there is an industry standard in creating users/groups for Adobe LiveCycle in *NIX environments.
What’s the usual set of users/groups created in most of the Installations.
wasadmin (Intended for WebSphere specifically),
adbadmin (Intended for adobe specifically),
cmadmin (Intended for correspondence management specifically)
etc.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro build 10.0.1

Hi Mike,
Re: the Adobe Developer Days - your message indicates this is about the "LiveCycle set of capabilities", yet I'm confused by the description on http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/events/index.html which states:
"This all day developer event will feature tips on developing with PDF as well as advanced JavaScripting techniques for Acrobat developers."
In my mind there is a big difference between an Acrobat developer vs. a LiveCycle (Desiger, Forms, Reader Extensions, etc.) developer. I wouldn't wnat to attend an Adobe Developer Day, expect to learn how to develop LiveCycle Designer forms and discover that the day focusses on Acrobat forms. Which is it?
Sometimes I find the flipping between "Acrobat" developers and "LiveCycle" developers on Adobe.com to be confusing; as I said in my mind, these are two different beasts (as has been stated several times in this forum, and has been the source for much confusion between "veteran" users of Acrobat Professional forms who are using LiveCycle Designer for the first time).
Perhaps you shed some light on this for me.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches for some users, but crashes for others.

I am troubleshooting an issue in a college computer lab. Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches perfectly for some users, but crashes for others. All computers are joined to a domain. The program launches successfully under faculty and admin accounts. It launches under my student account and will launch for some students in the class. There are, however, some students who cannot get the program to launch. Each time it fails when attempting to load ImporterQuickTime.prm.
For these students, the following error appears:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working

I did check Quicktime and it is not updated to the most recent version. However, if it was a result of Quicktime not being up to date, why can some accounts launch the program while others cannot. I have also updated the graphics driver on one computer. No change. I compared my student Active Directory account to that of one student who could not launch the program. They are in exactly the same place in AD and therefore have the same permissions on the domain. This is a puzzling issue and the instructor is getting frustrated. Any help or suggestions with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
-Barb

I have no idea, other than what I said about the program's design requirement for an Admin account and "sometimes" problems on any other account
About the only thing I can suggest is a "remote control" chat session... when a student with a non-working account is having problems
Creative Cloud chat support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues)

How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart? "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups. I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5. Thank you!

How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart? "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups. I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5. Thank you!

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
You should get the following output below what you entered:
GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users. Is the output what you expect?

http://max.adobe.com/online/session/332
OSMF is an open source ActionScript 3 framework for building video and media players supporting cutting edge Flash Platform features for media delivery. If you have any curiosity about media players in Flash or Flex, this is a great forum for exploring and getting questions answered.

The presentation by Will Law was recorded and can be viewed online, on-demand from the following link:
http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/p47054887/
Will's presentation is an excellent introduction to HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
This presentation is a supersized version of a presentation that Will also will be delivering at Adobe MAX 2010. MAX session description here:
http://bit.ly/bh77Gz
Supersized in that in the recording above Will spent a bit more time in ActionScript for the OSMF developers in attendance than he will with more general audiences. Plus supersized in that Will took 1 hour 15 minutes (plus 15 minutes more on Q&A), whereas MAX sessions are 60 minutes, less a few minutes for the Q&A.,

How do I get system users/groups to appear in the Workgroup Manager list?

When I open the Workgroup Manager and select the Users tab, it only shows users set up in the Workgroup Manager -- same when I browse Groups. But, I also have a couple system users/groups set up not in the workgroup manager, but through the OS's System Preference interface for Users.
Is there a way to automatically have System users appear in the Workgroup list?
I also can't add users to System groups, since the groups also won't appear in the Workgroup Manager (like adding a user to the group Admin or Staff -- default system groups).
I'd just like the option to "show System users and groups" somewhere.
Thanks.
Patrick

Hi
If I understand your post correctly then launch WorkGroup Manager and select Preferences from the WorkGroup Manager Menu. Enable the Show "All Records" tab and inspector option and click OK. In the Users/Groups/Computer tab you should now see the addition of another icon - it looks like a bullseye. Select this and under the filter field selecting 'AccessControls' will show you a long list. Scroll down and select Users. Now go back to the Users tab and you should see all users visible and invisible. You’ll see the same thing for Groups.
You will see different Users and Groups depending which directory node you are in. In the LDAP node you should only see Directory and System Administrator as well as VPN MPPE Key Access User in addition to any user you have created within that node. In the local Net Info node you should see users such as Amavisd User, Clamav User, Cyrus IMAP User etc. You’ll also see UIDs and GUIDs amongst a wealth of other information if you select a user or group and select the Inspector tab.
You can modify record attribute and values as well as adding your own. You can even use WGM in the same way you would use Net Info Manager locally if you wish.

Adobe CC won't launch, Photoshop freezes immediately after launch, help!

Hello, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue. It started with Photoshop CC freezing, as in spinning color wheels of death immediately after launch. I have tried launching with a file, without a file, from Lightroom, independently, nothing works, but spinning wheel until I force quit.
So I tried to update, thinking it wpould help. Adobe CC won't launch at all, no error message, no force quit, just nothing happens. I tried uninstalling both, but unistall just hangs, bouncing in the dock for all eternity until I force quit. The Adobe Application Manager will not launch, and also hangs until a force quit.
The machine is a MacPro OSX 10.7.5 with 3.2 GHz Quad-Core 8GB with no other issues. I have done no updates, no new programs, apps, fonts or plugins in weeks, and the Adobe CC stuff has been working until two days ago. No other issues with the machine I have noticed, and Lightroom and PS CS6 are both working as usual. Restarts have no effect.
I have attempted to start PS CC using command-shift-option thinking the preferences might be causing an issue, but got the same hanging result. Renaming the OOBE file has not worked. Help!

Have you had any luck with this? I've been experiencing the same since Creative Cloud started... happens with all creative cloud apps. I removed the creative cloud desktop app as that was the most troublesome and would often hang everything after waking from sleep. Helped a little but waking from sleep still creates the issue and I have to restart the computer. If I do get an app working and I go to update through the help menu, that app hangs. I've read in other discussions that you need to change the user (which is ******** and very time consuming) but like an idiot I did that and... surprise, suprise, same problem. Never seen adobe come back on this one.

Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

Nobody ever solved this

How do I delete a User that does not appear in Users & Groups?

A leftover user (former employee account) that won't go away. Phantom User account becomes the default login account regardless of the new employee's login attempts. The phantom account Home folder appears in the Users folder at the root level, but not in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. I have logged in as tech admin and deleted the phantom User folder (while it is not the Home folder), but it comes right back again as soon as the new employee logs in as himself. ***???
I'd just updated this iMac to Yosemite, but this issue predates any specific OS update. Has persisted from 10.5 - 10.10. but is becoming an issue with permissions.
Any thoughts other than having to reinstall the OS from scratch? I was about to, but thought I'd see if anyone else has ever heard of this.....

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The Directory Utility application will launch.
In the application window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Locate the user you want to delete in the list and click the minus-sign icon at the bottom. Select Groups from the Viewing menu, and look for a group in the list with the same name as the user you just deleted. If found, delete. Quit Directory Utility.
Be very careful when editing the directory. Many hidden users and groups are present by default, and are needed for the normal operation of OS X. Never delete or modify a directory entry unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing. If in doubt, leave it alone.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
