Another App Catalog Suggestion

I'd like to have an "Add to wish list" button (with associated "Wish List" on the "Browse" menu) for those apps that I might want to buy or download later, but just haven't made up my mind.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I could see how that feature would be very useful and we here at Palm appreciate all feedback. However, you should go to www.palm.com/feedback to provide your suggestion.
Thanks and have a great weekend,
-Patkosanke

You don't mention what device and iOS version you are using so I'll give you a generic fix for now.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try to download and run the app again to see if the problem persists.

Generalizing the return page number when linking to a page in another app

Hello.
I know how to link to a page in another app within the same workspace. However, my problem arises when the user tries to go back to the page in the first app.
Is there a way to "generalize" the "return path". I do not want to hard-code the return page number within a "back link" element on the target page. I was wondering if there is some sort of substitution string I can use in the return http address that automatically "knows" what the returning page number is. Hope I'm making sense here.
Thanks for any help/advice.

I don't know what you are asking of me. I have given detailed step-by-step instructions on how to implement what I suggested earlier on in this thread. Look at my postings on 9/13/2006. What part are you having trouble with?
Could you be more specific?
I'm afraid I am going to have to ask you the same question.

Apex standard tabs do submit the page and fire after-submit computations defined on the calling page before branching to the "current" page for the tab you click on.

Activated AT&T Pre3, wifi now, but App Catalog doesn't work?

[copied here from Precentral post/thread: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-pre-3/303421-activated-t-pre3-wifi-now-but-app-catalog-doesnt-work.h... ]
Hey there,
Just a couple of days ago, with a borrowed AT&T SIM, I activated a GSM Pre3, creating a new profile, then when it turned off to reboot, I removed the SIM card.
My plan is to just keep it in airplane mode and use it via WiFi.
Then I went home and tried to play with the App Catalog. I can browse it, but I can't download anything from it, free or not; the download fails after trying. The download progress bar doesn't make any progress. The phone's only using wifi.
In the app menu in the App Catalog, my "Preferences & Accounts" option was grayed out.
This morning, I remembered about the email verification email that I should have gotten from HP from creating a new profile. I found it and clicked the verification link therein. I just logged into my profile via the browser, and my webOS Account Status says "Email verified".
I tried again to go into the App Catalog (less than 5 minutes after verifying my email), and the "Preferences & Accounts" menu option is still gray and unavailable. When I try to buy a paid app, it says "The action could not be completed. Try again later."
The Wifi network is fine; I've just verified by loading a page in the browser.
What could be wrong with my App Catalog access? How do I fix it?
This isn't exactly my first webOS rodeo; I've had a Pre, an unlocked Pre2 (which I did pretty much the same thing for--borrowed SIM to activate, then use as wifi-only, App Catalog access is fine), and a TouchPad (shares the profile from the Pre).
I've never come across this problem before...
-- STITCHING IN A FOLLOW-UP MESSAGE --
I've tried an old Cingular SIM (no active account on it), an old AT&T SIM (no account on it), and even a TalkMobile SIM (from the UK).
None of those made any difference in the App Catalog. Downloads always fail, and the Preferences & Accounts menu option is always gray.
I even went into the SIM Toolkit app several times, with each of the SIMs installed, and each time, the app advised that the "menu" could only be used after the phone had been on for 30 seconds. It gave me that message even after definitely waiting for longer than 30 seconds.
Perhaps troubling on a different front is that, even with the UK SIM in there, the Pre 3 didn't ask for an unlock code, which I thought it was supposed to do (as soon as it detects a non-AT&T SIM in the slot).
Anyone got any other ideas about what to try??

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hey, so I don't have much in the way of definitive answers, but I've made some progress.
Here's the story from where I last left off...
I posted most of what I'd said by that point in this thread into a post in the Palm support forums (as of right now, no responses):
http://forums.hpwebos.com/t5/webOS-Software/Activated-AT-amp-T-Pre3-wifi-now-but-App-Catalog-doesn-t...
I tried Impostah to just install from there using the app IDs for the apps in which I was interested, both free ones and paid ones. Those downloads also failed with no helpful error messages
Then I had a looooong chat with Palm tech support, starting here: http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/na/deviceselector/page_en.html#NA Palm.com : Support[/url] Phones . I chose to start the process using the "HP Veer" option. Not much useful happened in that chat, but the agent did suggest that maybe a doctoring would help.
I doctored it using the ATT Pre 3 webOS Doctor available here: [url=http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_Versions]WebOS Doctor Versions - WebOS Internals[/url]
I followed steps 1-12 detailed in this PreCentral thread: Global Paid App Catalog Access for new unlocked GSM Pre 2/Pre 3/Veer (using Impostah) (http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/281075-global-paid-app-catalog-access-new-unlocked-gsm-... ) At step 8, I did not have to set an activation country and language as that seemed to have been remembered from before (probably from the borrowed AT&T SIM I first used). At step 9, I created a new Palm Profile to use during this round of exploration. At step 12, wherein I was supposed to be able to confirm that I had paid App catalog access, I could successfully download free apps (Facebook, Skype, Clock Sync, Maps update), but paid apps still failed without making any progress. Note that this was all with an empty SIM slot.
I successfully unlocked the device. I put in an active T-Mobile SIM in there, booted it while in airplane mode, and the first screen after the HP blinking circle screen was dialpad screen asking me to enter an Unlock Code. I did, and it worked. I immediately placed a test call successfully with that SIM in into it, and the receiving phone showed that person's phone number, as it should.
I took a break from working with it, and, hours later, I just monkeyed around in Impostah a bunch more, and this is where it gets fuzzy, 'cause it was late by then. I think I spent most of my time in the Activation, App Catalog, Palm Profile, Accounts, and Backups scenes, both just viewing things and trying various things that mostly seemed to not make much difference. I also turned off the webOS automatic Backups a couple of times in that mix. I also managed to delete the Dr. Skipped Firstuse webOS account/profile from the device so that it no longer shows up in the Accounts app. But free apps still seem to download and install successfully...and I seem to be logged into my test profile. Note that I have not yet gone to step 15 of the "Global Paid App Catalog Access for new unlocked GSM Pre2/Pre 3/Veer (using Impostah)" thread, wherein you're supposed to doctor it again and activate/sign into the phone normally with. Mostly I've held off on it, because I'm afraid of losing the progress I've made so far. That and I don't have an active, data-enabled AT&T sim. My Accounts app is empty, not showing any webOS profile (it should, shouldn't it?), even though Impostah shows me signed in to my test profile.
Then, at some point, I went into the App Catalog, went into the details of a paid app (Homebrew Documentation), and tapped the "Download for $..." button. I then got a "Payment Setup" scene!!! So just now, I put in my credit card info, and I successfully downloaded the Preware Homebrew Application!
And I don't know which of my monkeying around bits actually made the difference!
So, now I've got a few main questions about how to proceed:
Is my Pre3 in some crazy intermediate state without a webOS profile really attached to it? It doesn't show any accounts in the Account app (I haven't added any email/contact/calendar/Skype/etc. accounts), but I'm concerned that it doesn't show the webOS account. The email and calendar accounts don't show any defaul accounts (should be the webOS profile, at least, I suspect).
If it is in some wacky state, do I need to doctor it to ensure that it goes into a normal state? In order, to ensure that, as step 15 in the Global Paid App Catalog thread says, "everything has been initialised correctly"? 'cause it doesn't seem like everything has been correctly initialized. But I don't like the possibility of losing the progress that I've made! Gr!
And I just found a patch that brings back the First Use app and allows you to run it...Maybe that's all I need?

CS5 Hangs When Minimizing or Switching to Another App

If I minimize Premiere or switch to another app (or even if I use the encoder queue, which opens another window and takes the focus off the Premiere app and puts it on the encoder app), Premiere hangs. First it has the Windows 7 "working" circle, then if you click anywhere it turns the Premiere screen white and says Not Responding. The other windows on my second monitor (like Project, Audio Mixer, etc.) stay normal looking until you click on them, then they become white as well.
There's a ton of disk activity when this happens.
Not sure, but it could be related to something else I'm seeing: Premiere tries to rebuild peak files and reloads all MXF (P2) media each time project loads, which takes forever. It's almost like it starts to do it again in the background when the app loses focus. I've tried all the remedies I could find in the forums to fix the rebuilding of peak files, no luck.
Note that I've made some smaller test projects, and they don't seem as affected - still slow when switching back, but don't completely hang.
This is on a large, 1-hour broadcast project with tons of source clips. I'm trying to export 9 segments for the broadcast master, which has become excruciatingly painful to do...first I have to load the project, then wait 10 minutes for the 3,500 clips to load, then export the segment (which immediately hangs Premiere once the Encoder window takes over). Am having to do that for each segment...you get the picture.
I saw another post from a guy saying he gets degraded playback performance when switching back to Premiere after going to another app...perhaps related? Perhaps not. Dunno.
Win7 64
i7 Extreme
12 GB RAM
Quadro 4800
Would love any suggestions...
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm seeing similar switching issues on large projects - happened in CS4 as well though.
This is with around 2000-3000 file references to load.
Mine takes about 20-30 seconds to switch (IIRC). Frustratingly it also happens no matter what is switched to - e.g. if a system popup appears, switching back to Premiere has the same delay. looks like Premiere is re-reading all of the footage files as my RAID5 array is hammered each time.
I was hoping that in the switch to CS5 and 64 bit, this would go away - but that's not so.
Wouldn't look so terminal if PPro at least put up a dialogue box rather than allowing Windows to grey out the window as if the app has crashed (which we know isn't the case). Windows is quick to show an app not responding though.
Anyone else also seeing this on larger projects with lots of files?
Paul.

App for accessing remote files on a mac that you can play in another app

Hey all,
Anyone know of an app that will allow me to access files stored on a mac connected to the same wifi that I can play the file through another app in the iPhone without the file being transferred to the phone?
For example, I want to be able to access a m4v stored on my mac over wifi, within the iPhone, to be played with a video player that I can send to a TV with the composite cable.
I found NetPortal, which works quite well, but you need to transfer the file to your iphone and even then, it wont open with many apps. I tried transferring a m4v file to my phone and it only gave me goodreader as an app to open the file with. I could simply transfer the file I want to access using my USB cable to my iPhone much faster.
Simply, I want to be able to stream movies from my Mac, through my iPhone to a TV and I am finding it hard to find Apps that allow such a thing.
Any suggestions?

I already have that setup at home. I want to be able to use this when I am on the road.
I already use StreamToMe and Airvideo, but sometimes the quality is quite bad, which is mainly cause by my low upload speed. So I am looking for higher quality alternatives. I carry around a macbook air a lot so I figured I could store lots of movies for on the road to be played on other's tvs when were taking it easy.
I am always so amused by responses on this forum. The solution is always to buy something.

HP App Catalog/ Account Security on the Touchpad

I recently changed credit card numbers on my App Store account. Not long after I had a fraudulent purchase show up on my bank account from another online vendor. It may just be a coincidence, but it has me wondering. Just how secure is the Touchpad for online transactions and App store account info? I cannot find any documentation about security in my searches through HP stuff or on any forums. Any thoughts?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I have a question about the App Catalog. Why is my touchpad asking for my social security number when I'm setting up my credit card info? I have an android phone and Google never asked for it when I set up my Android Market account. I can still down load free WebOS apps but I'm not sure I want my SS# floating out in cyber space... Can anyone tell me of a work around for this?

Unable to purchase from app catalog

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section.
I am attempting to add my debit card information in the hopes that I will be able to purchase something from the app catalog. Upon entering my information I receive the following error:
Payment Failed
We cannot process your payment.
Contact your financial institution.
PMT04001
I have done a partial erase, a full erase, and even used webOS Doctor. Today, I contacted my financial institute as suggested and I was told that "Palm Inc." had sent requests for $0, however, the request must be $1.00 before it can be processed. Apparently. I was also told to visit the Palm website and attempt to solve my problem that way.
I have discussed this problem on Palm's Live Chat twice, used some Google-fu, searched several forums, and never received a definitive answer. So, I am posting this as a last resort. I do not enjoy bothering people with my problems, but this has me rather confused.
Also, my debit card is connected to a savings account. Would a checking account solve this problem? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Unfortunately, this is still going on.
My card suddenly stopped working in the App Catalog within the last 3-4 weeks, and now the details I enter are no longer being accepted - even though the exact same card and details are working fine in iTunes, Paypal, and Amazon...
Nothing has changed. Nothing at all. And yet my Palm Pre 2 is no longer accepting it, just like that.
I've tried wiping everything, even using the Doctor to start from scratch. No joy at all.
I went through a lot of trouble to get this phone working, its very disappointing to suddenly have it stop accepting my credit card with the same stupid PMT04001 error every time. =/

App catalog: unable to add payment account, error PMT03043

I'm unable to add a payment/billing account for my touchpad. Trying "Preferences & Accounts" in the HP App Catalog menu gives error "Action could not be completed. Try again later" -> "Retry" but this error dialog never goes away on re-trying. So it's stuck at this point. Only way to exit is to card this screen and swipe it away. So how does one add a payment/billing account ? In the "Help" topic about setting up billing account, the Help manual says, "...try to buy an app -> click purchase -> add credit card" but when I try to purchase an app, an error dialog pops up "App catalog could not complete the last action you performed. Try again later. PMT03043". Later, found that PMT03043 error means "No data for Catalog country for device". My HP Touchpad is set to "US" as the country. Why this error when catalog country is already set to US? Could somebody please check their working TP (able to add payment accounts and buy from HP app catalog) and provide some suggestions ? Thanks. I'd like to buy some apps!
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Also, found "com.palm.service.payment" empty folder, and "com.palm.payment.service" folder with code in it. So which of these is supposed to be the proper valid payment service ? Can any of the devs here help? I guess one of these services is not running so the error pops up? Help please. Aren't there some official HP support/devs on this forum ?

Updates App says application updates available but App Catalog says no updates available

I'm having an issue where the Updates app says that application updates are available, but when I click the button and it opens the App Catalog My Applications page, none are available. I recently doctored my phone, and wonder if it happened somewhere in that process. I found the following link in precentral.net: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-apps-software/253866-app-catalog-fix-says-app-updates-but-no-app-...
And tried the suggestion of removing the .db file, but that doesn't work. It seems I might have a "phantom" app, and was wondering how I can determine which app that is to redownload it and remove it to fix this problem. I can PM my Palm profile e-mail when needed if that is the solution to the problem.
In addition, possibly related to this, is that whenever I go to Preferences + Accounts from the My Applications scene in the App Catalog, it freezes. It doesn't even get to the Accounts page, it just freezes with the menu displayed where I clicked Preferences + Accounts. This works from the main App Catalog scene. Not sure if this has to do with an issue with my Palm Profile and phantom app, but clearly something isn't happening right.
I did two doctors, and a full device reset as well, so I have exhausted those options in trying to fix this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

Went through Palm support. Basically how I fixed it was:
Asked for the list of "installed" apps on my Palm Profile.
Installed all the apps that were missing from my device that existed in the profile.
Removed the ones I didn't want by doing "delete application" from the app catalog.
With a little luck, and after a reboot, the issue went away.
I think what originally started this issue was after a doctor, I cancelled the download of some of the apps so they would restore faster. I don't think that deleted them from the palm profile.
Anyway, in case anyone runs into this problem, thats how I got past it.

"Camera in use by another app" message in iChat on Lion?

Ever since I installed Lion, when I try to initiate a video iChat, it tells me that my camera is being used by another app. In fact, it isn't. Restarting iChat fixes the problem, but I have to restart it EVERY TIME I want to initiate or receive a video chat. When it's behaving like this, the other person receives a message that I'm in another chat.
Suggestions?

ISight Makes a SLOWER "Turn On" Sound Then "Used by Another App Message"

I've had my iSight cam for about 4 years. When I plugged it in a couple of days ago, that quick sound it makes when it's connected (focusing sound?) was much slower. I then received the message that it is in use by another app.
I do regular maintenance (permissions, clean caches, check pref files). I've tried another user account. I've unplugged everything and shut the computer off for at least 15 minutes. I've tried another firewire port. I'm going to reinstall the 10.4.10 combo PPC update.
Has anyone else encountered the slow "turn on" sound to find that their iSight no longer works?
Im afraid I'm going to have to send it away, pay $150, and get it repair. I guess that's better than paying $350 for a new one.
Thanks.

Hello PDXKevin
Has anyone else encountered the slow "turn on" sound to find that their iSight no longer works?
Not I.
I know you did not ask, but you may want to consider any of the following that you have not already tried before you have your iSight serviced.
If you have changed anything recently, have you considered Possible hardware or software conflicts.
I see you have previously posted about problems with your Firewire. Does your iSight show as a Firewire device in your System Profiler? Do other Firewire devices work when connected to the same port on your PowerBook?
If your iSight works when connected to a different Mac but you do not see iSight in System Profiler when your iSight is connected to your PowerBook, you may have connection, cable, Firewire, or other problems with your Mac. In this case, try Apple's suggestions in What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device.

Clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view

I wonder why, if I put a youtube video in full screen and I click on another app WHILE THE VIDEO IS PLAYING all remain this way. On the contrary, if I first stop the video, clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view... This is very annoying. Is it possible to avoid this?
Thanks

Sorry, Mozilla doesn't support the patent-encumbered and royalty-encumbered H.264 standard, they support the OGG/Theodora and WebM free open source standards.
Microsoft has a H.264 plugin for Firefox, but it is for Windows7 not WinXP or Win Vista. <br />
http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin
There may be other H.264 Firefox plugins out there for WinXP, so do a Google search. Or maybe contact support for that DVR security system and see if they know of or have a Firefox plugin.

In the Calendar app in Yosemite, how can I prevent the event's details window to disappear when transferring focus to another app?

When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
This is kind of annoying.

It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD, It's DVD Player. Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD. You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.
