App coded in Crystal XI need to be compatiable with Crystal 2008. Options?
Dear All,
The product I am working on, works fine with Crystal XI. But now task is to make it work for clients that have just Crystal 2008 (not Crystal XI). (Even assuming there is no new feature that Crystal 2008 offer is planned in this existing application.)
I was wondering what would be the best bet to make that application compatiable? Certainly we do not want to have two seperate application coded separatly for Crystal XI and Crystal 2008.
I will appreciate any information, feedback, guidance that you can provide on this.
Thanks
am actually using Visual Studio .NET 2008 only with Crystal Reports XI R2. I was not aware of the fact that Crystal Reports XI R2 does not work with Visual Studio 2008. It could be that since I have both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 in my machine, and this could be referring to old one.
I believe Visual Studio 2008 came with .NET framework 3.5 and in theory 3.5 does all that 2.0 used to do. So I am not sure what would be the reason of .NET 2008 not supporting it. May be I am missing something, please help me clarify?
- See the supported platforms doc here:
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712240&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202
(choose Business Objects XI release2 / crystal reports -> crystal reports -> crystal reports XI r2 -sp2 - supported platforms.
.NET 2008 is not listed. That is as far as this discussion should need to go. E.g.; do not use CR XI r2 with .NET 2008, or .NET 2010 when it comes out - if you do, you're on your own.
Option-1) Now my worry is can same application; when installed on a client who has just crystal report 2008 (not upgrade from XI-R2) run-time installed, will work OK?
As long as you run CR XI r2 with the supported version of .NET (e.g.; in your case .NET 2005) there will be no issues after installing CR 2008 as CR 2008 and CR XI r2 are side by side compatible. One thing I would highly discourage is running reports created in CR 2008 with CR XI r2.
Option-2) Is there any change in existing code, I need to do so that irrespective of what run-time environment client has (XI R2 or, Crystal 2008), my application runs fine without any issue?
If you install CR 2008 SP0 after installing .NET 2008, you should not need any code modification to an already working app. All that will happen is that the CR assemblies will get upgraded to version 12.x. Of course, you then need to distribute the CR 2008 runtime to your client / server computers.
Any other option...
Not sure where the confusion is, but I am not sure why we'd want to look for other options(?).

Need Real Help & Advice With Replacement MBP Options!
Hi All,
Please kindly give me some advice as I need to act quickly - I already have a MBP 15" 2.4 Unibody replacement agreed by Apple only last week (replacing a Intel 2.2 GB MBP) but I am pretty sure that the Senior Customer Services Person I spoke to was not aware of any due upgrade as he was very helpful and probably genuinely did not know. In view of the new models announced, should I stick with this or ask for the new 2.53 version which is actually cheaper and therefore I am somewhat hopeful they should do (or would they now generally offer me the new one?) Can any of you kind folks also please tell me:
1. What are the advantages/disadvantages between the old 2.4 Unibody MBP & the new 2.53 Unibody MBP?
2. I know the new one comes with an SD card slot and loses the Express Card Slot but is the loss of the latter a big thing? Can the old one with the use of card readers actually shift data from the MBP to a SD card (or any other) via card reader/device? Is Express Card or SD Card Slot more desirable and better utilised?
3. I think the newer one has less better 9400M integrated graphics - is that true and how big a deal is that? (I plan on downloading and watching lots of HD content) Is it better to go for the dual 9400M/9600GT graphics
4. I know the new one can be upgraded to 8GB of Ram which sound really good for future-proofing and general super-smooth running purposes so I guess this feature is really important? I guess it can take 4 x 2GB sticks?
5. Some have stated that they are very happy that the new ones have Firewire back but was that also not on the old 2.4 one?
6. How big/good/bad a thing is it to have a non replaceable battery even though in theory, it may last longer?
7. The new version makes a big deal about the screen - is it a good reason to upgrade or as good as they make out?
8. Are the Hard Drives on these latest versions user-replaceable/upgradable? (250GB is still a little low for my future needs and I was planning to upgrade to a higher capacity).
9. As I am not a savvy as most when it comes to this sort of stuff, is there anything else that I have not considered/should consider or have taken into account and which may prove to be be of significance in the future?
10. Is it safe to assume that the newer model may be better as it may have had bugs or issues the old one may have had ironed out?
11. Because of the better graphics and larger Hard Drive (320GB), I am also inclined to go for the 2.66 model - how should I best proceed if I choose this model - will they likely give me one (or better still, how can I best wangle one!) or is it possible to offer to pay some money to make up for the difference and what would be considered a fair and reasonable amount?
I am very sorry to ask so many questions but I need to act fairly quickly on this one and would be extremely grateful for the help and input!
Many Thanks To All!

Hi,
Thanks for the help so far - I know the HD is replaceable on the 2.4 MBP but can you confirm that this is also the case with the new 2.53/2.66 MBP's?
Yes. I can confirm that.
Do you have any further thoughts regarding the benefits of the new over the old?
I am a big fan of the unibody MacBook Pros. I had purchased mine in October 2008. I could easily purchase a new one with out a second thought. They are exceptional machines.
OLD - Better Discrete Graphics, Express Card Slot, Replaceable Batteries, Upgradeable HD, Poorer Screen, RAM limited to max 4GB
NEW - Poorer Integrated Graphics, SD Card Slot, Better Screen, Upgradeable RAM to 8GB, Fixed Internal Battery but with Longer Life, Unsure if HD is User-Upgradable
The batteries can be replaced at an Apple Store at any time. The hard drive can be upgraded by the user. The graphics are still very good.
Anything else I might have missed? I would like to choose the one that offers the most future-proofing and will operate the best when running Snow Leopard and Windows, HD Material and will cause least performance issues!
Check out the requirements for Snow Leopard. http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
You cannot go wrong with a unibody MacBook Pro. Leopard runs on Macs that are 10-years old. Whatever your choice, you will be "future proofed".
Good luck!

I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why? I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??
The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.
Identifying iPod models
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
My friend just sold me her ipad she got Jan 2013. The software says its up to date with iOS5.1.1, but when i try to download certain app it tells me I need to update to iOS6.0 or later but when i go to the setting there are no updates. so how do I add these apps? The person i bought it from doesnt know what generation becuase it was a present to her.
The way you download older apps for the older, original iPad 1, as I understand it, is if you have iTunes installed on a computer, you purchase / download the new, current app, in the iOS App Store in iTunes on your computer. Then, go back to your iPad and go to the App Store app on your iPad and find the same app there and download it.
When You select app to update/download, a message pop-up window appears asking if you want to download the last compatible version for your device (if one still exists ) tap OK and that should be it. -
I share an iTunes account with my daughter, I just got an ipad and need to set up with my own I'd for iCloud sync how can I keep my apps and music?
ColleenMcG wrote:
You can continue to share the same iTunes account ID with your daughter and set up a separate iCloud account with a different ID.
=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.
ColleenMcG wrote:

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID. -

Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?
why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?
Try in order:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems. Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. -
I downloaded Pandora a while back. My 12 year old nieces were playing with my iPad and now the Pandora icon is not on my screen. The app store shows that it needs to be updated, but I can't do it. What can it do to recover my Pandora program?
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

I have changed my Apple ID to new email and new password. Apple confirmed changes. Now when I need to download apps or iTunes purchases it asks me to verify and put in password for my previous email and password, which it declines the old password as obviously the email is wrong but I do not get option to change email only to rest password. How do I rectify this.
Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Hello all,
when i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these apps and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID
How i used the new one to update these apps?
thanksYour device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.
HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3
Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

I'm getting a Download Error warning after attempting to download and install CC. No error code – just a button prompt to Reload Applications which takes me straight back to the Download Error. All my previously installed CC apps work fine but I need to upgrde to be compatible with colleagues. Thanks
I'm having exactly the same problem......I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.10.1. We have BT fibre optic business broadband. Everything has been running just fine until about 2 weeks ago when the apps in my CC panel just disappeared. I have made no changes to our systems and I am the only person to administer it all.....

Need to copy reports from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Enterprise 11
Please let me know to use the same crystal report 9 repository database for reports in crystal report XI version? We are having more than 700 reports in CE 9.
As per my understanding, CE 9 stores the reports in APS_InfoObjects2 table and CE11 stores the reports in CMS_InfoObjects5 table. (The structures and the data storage machanism of these tables are not same).
Also let me know - How can we have the both Crytsal Report 9 and Crystal Report 11 (Release 2) designer tool on the same system?
I was having Crystal Report 9 designer tool and after installing the Crystal Report 11 Release 2 designer tool, Crystal Report 9 has been replaced by Crystal Report 11. If I am installing the Crystal Report 9 then it display the error message like "Install cannot proceed because Crystal Report 9 9.2.25705 has been detected."
Please help on these two issues !!Hi
You can use Import Wizard for migration of your reports.
Please refer to Import Wizard Guide. You can download it from [here|http://help.sap.com/].
For your second issue: You can use CR9 and CRXI both on the same machine however for this you need to first install CR9 and then do a separate installation of CR XI preferably on a different drive.
Also for the error message
- Did you do a fresh installation of CE XI or it was a upgrade installation?
-For both the cases, open registry editor and delete the registry keys of CR9. Don't forget to take a back up of the registries before making any changes.
Hope this helps!!!
