ANN: Test drive TCS2 (FM9) without downloading

Adobe has a new way to test-drive the components of the TechComm 2 suite in a virtual environment via your browser. There's a short intro clip on this process by RJ Jacquez at: http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p28795082/
Please also see his Blog entry on this topic: http://blogs.adobe.com/rjacquez/2009/09/test-drive_adobe_technical_com.html
Note: there are some step-by-step tutorials that go with this that help show the FM-RH integration, but it uses Adobe's own demo files, not your own. If you want to play with your own files, then you'll still have to download the full 30-day trial version.

Well, even though I've reset the SMC about 2 or 3 times already to ensure that everything was is proper order, resetting it one more time (following apple's instructions) didn't seem to do harm of any sort.
Since the noise had seemed to have gone away (if only for a day before I used the SmcFanControl program), I wasn't sure if resetting the SMC again would help or not. My theory was that maybe revving up each fan with the SmcFanControl program might have unstuck something that was stuck to one of the fans, causing this odd noise in the first place. I couldn't tell whether resetting the SMC did good or just nothing at all. Nevertheless, the buzzing sound has disappeared!
I did install TechTool Deluxe (the version that came with our ALU iMac), update it, and then run the entire suite as suggested. Every test passed with flying colors, and I haven't heard any noises from the dead-center of the computer, so I'm going to assume that the Hard Drive isn't in jeopardy of failing (and disk utility says that the HD is "verified", AND I have Diskwarrior 4.0 installed and set to check the HD every hour - no problem reports from there yet either).
If something does act up again, I'll call AppleCare, since after trying all of your helpful suggestions, the problem has gone away, and if the issue reappeared, I wouldn't be able to think of any other method for a home-fix. So far, so good, though!
Thank you all for the help!
Your help saved me a trip to the UPS store, a lot of time packaging the computer, and the worry of a broken screen on return of the "fixed" product!
Thanks!

  • My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc.  How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

    My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive.  I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer.   I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ????  Can someone advise?

    Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings:  Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone.  This will transfer your purchased items.
    For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility.  Find  discussion of them here
    Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge.  This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Change from Office Test Drive to Full Version without losing files

    So my trial is almost up and I need to download the full version. In browsing earlier discussions, it seems there are a few different ways to uninstall Test Drive - how should I do it so that none of the Word docs I saved get lost?
    Thanks!

    is there anything in particular i should do to save/transfer my office documents to NeoOffice?
    Just open them with NeoOffice and it should be fine.
    Note that if you thereafter need to send a document to a use of Microsoft Office, you'll want to make sure that NeoOffice saves it in an Office-compatible format (the default document format isn't Office-compatible, and I can't find a way to reset that default format though there may be an option I'm missing).

  • How to display a file from Application server without downloading it to local drive

    I want to dispaly a file from Application server without downloading it to my local system.
    i tried the below method but it didn't work.
         CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
          EXPORTING
            APPLICATION            = L_FILE
            DEFAULT_DIRECTORY      = L_DIR

    Hi,
    Use open dataset to read file from application server.
    try like this sample code:
    data : p_file like ibipparms-path.
    data : rec(350) type c.
    data:  g_delimiter(1) type c value ','.
    maintain the file path in p_file. then
    open dataset p_file for input in text mode encoding default.
       IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    do n times.
    READ dataset p_file into rec.
    split rec at g_delimiter into your internal table fields like it-id it-name it-age.
    append it.
    clear it.
    enddo.
    close dataset p_file.
    Now you have the data in internal table it.

  • Will there ever be another downloadable ABAP Test Drive?

    Unlike having to do a test-drive in the cloud, having a locally installed test drive system is much easier to administer, and is easier to access, especially if you are behind a firewall.
    Will there ever be a testdrive (Linux or otherwise) of 7.40, specifically?

    Only Apple could say and they never preannounce. But it would seem unlikely. iOS 3.1.3 is probably the last version that will run on the 1st-gen iPod touch.

  • BUG in TEST DRIVE ias installation routine

    After scuccesfully installation of the TEST DRIVE PII version the
    installation leave the destination
    directory blank.
    The bug is knwon in this newsgroup.
    My tip:
    Go to http://iplanet.subscribnet.com/
    download the real version (SP3 is brand new) and then you can use the
    license key for the test case.
    But you need a registered access.
    This installation routine works fine without problems with IP adresse or
    other else.
    Good Look Bobys,

    Hi,
    This was a known issue with iAS installation on Windows-2000 and the solution was to set the "Primary DNS suffix". Please see my posting on how to "<a href="http://softwareforum.sun.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=181&RPAGEID=304&HOID=50B5000000080000006B630000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_24_%24_6_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_28_%24_6_24_&UCATEGORY_S=0">Set the Primary DNS suffix</a>".
    Hope this will help, please feel free to ask further questions.

  • Running "Flex test drive" - Got error while attempting to connect to data service

    Hi,
    I'm a Flex / Flash builder beginner. I downloaded the 60 days evaluation, and started to run the "Flex test drive" :
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/testdrive.html
    My configuration :
    XP SP3 PRO french edition
    Tomcat 6.0
    My local Eclipse :eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32 (but also got the issue on the Flash Builder Eclipse, which version is 3.4.0 (Generation ID M20090211-1700)
    Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse plug-in
    All on same PC
    The Test Drive proposes examples in three technologies : Cold Fusion, PHP and Java. I'm doing the Java examples.
    Installation of Flash Builder, as well as step 1 of the Test Drive (Build the user interface) went fine. I could run the project, which at the end of step 1 correctly displayed the UI in my browser.
    Only one problem, I don't know if it is relevant for the rest of this post : I first got an error, saying that ports 8080, 8005 and 8009, requested by Tomcat, where used. After a short Google search, I fixed it by changing these ports to 8081, 8006, and 8010, in the Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml file.
    The Test drive second step is "Connect to data". I found some discrepancies between the Test Drive doc, and what is displayed in Flash Builder. The Test Drive says :
    "Use the Data menu and the Service Wizard to create a service for your application server. For ColdFusion and Java, specify the service file you put on your application server earlier (see Figure 9 for a PHP example). For Java, select the No password required check box, select the employeeService destination, and change the service package to services.employeeservice."
    --> But there is no "No password required check box".
    Also, when running the "Connect to data/service..." wizard, it was not at first completely clear what to choose. The proposed choices were :
    BlazeDS
    ColdFusion
    HTTP
    LCDS
    PHP
    Web Service
    XML
    Since all others choices, when tried, declared to be unconsistent with my project's server type, I finally selected "Web Service".
    In the next wizard's form, according to the Test Drive indications, I specified the URI of my EmployeeService class : C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\testdrive\WEB-INF\classes\services\EmployeeService.class
    That defined correctly the other fields.
    But when pressing the "Next >" button, Flash Builder issued the following error message :
    English translation : Unable to extract operations and entities from specified WSDL. Reason : an error occured while instrospecting the service.
    And the full error text is :
    An error occured while instrospecting the service. WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/webapps/testdrive/W EB-INF/classes/services/EmployeeService.class'.: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
    It is usually relatively easy to find fixes through Google searches, but this time, it didn't work. So here I am, expecting a bunch of wise answers from all the nice Flex / FB gurus that I'm sure haunt this forum .
    Thanks and best regards.
    Marc.

    For those who would have the same problem, here is how I could eventually fix it.
    Since the Flex Test Drive is sometimes out of sync with flash builder 4, I recreated a project using other help pages on Adobe site :
    Entry point :
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08- 7ffd.html
    As suggested, I used the New Project wizard to create a new project, with :
    Application server type : J2EE
    Check the radio button "Use remote object access service : BlazeDS"
    Then, as indicated in following pages (section "Accessing BlazeDS")... :
    file:///C:/Mes%20documents%20C/Commun/Developpement/Documentation/HT-Tracks/AccessingData/ help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08-7ffe.ht ml#WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-19a3f0e0122be55e1b7-8000
    ...I selected the "Data / Connect to Data/Services..." menu option, which started the Data/service connection wizard.
    There, I selected a BlazeDS (and not Web Services) service type, and everything went fine.
    Suggestion to adobe staff : maybe it would be useful to update the Flex Test Drive to reflect Flash Builder 4 ?
    Very nice product anyway, so far, congratulations...

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

    How do I sync my music onto an old iPod when my music is located on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is stored in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac as this would be ridiculous?
    Any halp with this would be excellant.
    Thanks :P

    Hi,
    Your old pod can only sync with music that is physically in your itunes library and on your hard drive. Therefore there is simple way to resolve is to download your music to your hard drive.

  • New Mac Mini + Office 2004 Test Drive

    Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I'll give it a shot...
    I bought a new Mac Mini a few weeks ago. I just downloaded a Word document from my e-mail and it opened up Office 2004 Test Drive automatically... I agreed to the User Agreement, opened up my Word document, yada yada...
    Now, however, it bugs me that this is trial software and I have 30 days to evaluate it. Thing is I actually own Office 2004 and just never got around to installing it on my Mac Mini yet...
    So what is the proper way to install it? Do I need to remove Office Test Drive 2004 first, or do I just run the installer off the Office 2004 DVD? What are the proper steps I need to take?
    Thank you,
    Keith

    Remove MS Office Test Drive
    On your hard disk, open Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains the Test Drive. Any documents you saved in the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive should be moved somewhere in your documents folder.
    In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click "Remove Office". In the Results window, choose Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) and then click "continue" and follow the prompts.

  • Office Test Drive: relaunching the initial Entourage setup?

    I have been playing about with the Office Test Drive--does anyone know how to run the initial setup that Entourage performs on its first launch, again? I was testing the import of an old database; now that I see it works well I want to trash that database and rerun the initial setup again, but there is no option to do so that I can find.
    1. "Import" does not work as it won't allow me to select from the Office Identities or Main Identity or Database folder/files. (I want to do this from a backup of the database and not from a program itself. This worked on the initial setup but does not seem to want to work in the "Import" command.)
    2. I cannot seem to trash the old identity; when I drag it to the trash it goes into the trash but the trash will not allow me to empty it as it says the Database is in use.
    3. Holding down the option key upon launching Entourage worked once--it went to launch Database Utility but quit unexpectedly, and when I launched Entourage it was wiped clean and gave me the "new import" option, but I wasn't prepared to install the new database at that moment and now launching Entourage again does not give me that option. Also, when I have tried that trick again--holding down the option key during the lauch of Entourage--Database Utility launches correctly now! It does not "wipe clean" the program this time.
    Should I delete the Office Test Drive and reinstall a new copy? I found it on Mactopia; I'm just worried that the computer will detect that I'm reinstalling Test Drive and refuse to allow it. (I still have 30 days left of the Test Drive as it stands now.)
    Any other suggestions?

    It doesn't make sense to me that you would have a
    problem like this. I have bought 2 iMacs this year.
    One of them was about 7 weeks old when I got it and
    my installation of the test drive worked just fine.
    Bought a 3 month old e Mac last year and used the
    test drive for 30 days while awaiting delivery of my
    full version of Office.
    It has nothing to do with the date the software was
    installed but from the date it was first opened.
    Wierd problem. Did you buy this Mac new?
    yes brand new, from the apple store online at apple.com,, I talked to some guy on the apple help chat thing and he said my machine was manufactured on 10/22/05 I ordered it 11/28/05. Anyway I did trash it lastnight and am going to try and reinstall it it. The tech suggested it then he said he didnt think it would work lol. I also downloaded the program suggested and it works well also.. so either way Im covered now.

  • Office test drive expires b4 30 days...

    i juz purchased macbookpro in early april. it comes with the office 2004 test drive, and i'm supposed to be able to use it for 30 days. but as i've changed the clock once by accident, it expires right away!! no matter how many times i reset the clock in system preferences, it juz doesn't help...
    and, i find out that i can't even transfer the excel file back to my PC to edit...seems that the file is somehow "locked" when the office expires. when i transfer the excel to my PC, it changes to 1k, and simply can't be opened.
    is there anyway i can set back the expiry date to a correct one?!? it's kindda urgent... i juz need more time b4 i can purchase an official copy...million thanx!!

  • Microsoft office test drive - Expired??

    Hi there. I bought an emac about 2 months ago, and it had 'microsoft office 2004 for mac test drive' which is supposed to be a 30 day free test drive. But as soon as i tried to open it it said it had expired!
    I rang up the store and the lady said to drag it to the trash, then re-install it by using my grey 'Mac OS X install Disc'
    But when i use the disk and go to 'Optional Installs' i get to the 'custom install' page and there is no 'microsoft office test drive' to tick. under applications it only has iLife, iTunes and about 6 others.
    Anyone out there who could help me?

    Can you tell me which of the trials you're installing? You're sure it's 7.1 and not 7.01? For the latter you need the IBM JDK 1.4.2 for Linux x64.
