Camera Window for Android -- Compatibility update ETA?

I have an SX280 HS which I bought specifically for its WiFi features and the great Camera Window app. As you may or may not know, it is completely and utterly incompatible with the now standard Android 5.0 Lollipop. Although the software development kit has been available since October 2014, there has been no update from Canon and no communication from Canon regarding an update.
Considering that I bought this camera for its compatibility with my smartphone, I am understandably annoyed at Canon's incompetence in something as simple as up-to-date software. Does anyone have an idea of when an update will actually come? I have contacted Canon but received only a very generic, cut-and-paste reply which tells you absolutely nothing. I'd be less bothered if there was some kind of ETA to look forward to but at this point I might just look to another manufacturer instead.
Cheers for any information you might have.

Camera Window for Android not available in my Country

Hi everyone, Ive just bought a new G16. One of the most important features that made my pay more than 100 over the G15 is of course the added wifi capability. But I happen to live in Argentina, and Camera Window app is not available for my country in Google Play.

Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update for Tecra M7 (kb935280)

Hi
Just wanted everybody to know: The compatibility update that Microsoft just released as part of yesterdays patchday might do some good for all of us who currently have problems with the Tecra M7 and Vista - although I didn't find out what it should do exactly, Microsoft announces it should improve the support:
see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935280/en-us and get it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=618E24C1-8731-4D04-B0D8-3B4C703EDEE6

Thanks Floh for this info.
Regarding the Microsoft document the Vista operating system could be not compatible with some common applications.
In single cases you could be not able to install the software or the installed software could causes system instability or the application, or the firmware may not work correctly.
It seems the new Microsoft patch solves some installation problems with different programs. This are definitely good news
I use only the XP due to incompatibility with Vista but I think I will switch to the new OS in the next time

Dreamweaver CS6 PhoneGap build with Camera support for Android Device

I am trying to build a simple app that triggers the camera in my Samsung N7000 device.
I have built the app using Dreamweaver CS6 using the builting phonegap build support.
I am using the Windows version of Dreamweaver CS6.
When the app is built it shows no errors but when the app is installed on the device it does not trigger the camera.
I can not seem to get this very basic app to trigger the camera.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

"Matrix" is only Camera Profile for 7D in update?

I am using PSE8 and a Canon 7D on Windows 7.
In the original ACR my drop down only offered "Beta" for Camera Profile.
I downloaded 6.2 today which I believe is the newest update for PSE8 and the only option for Camera Profile is "Matrix".
What must I do to get Camera Neutral, Camera Standard, etc?
Thank you!
Jen

Are there any ideas when there will be an update for PSE users to include the 7D?
For Elements v8? Never...Camera Raw 6.2 is the last version of ACR that will work. You'll need Elements v9 to update ACR further.
But as has been pointed out above, the free DNG converter version 6.4.1 (which is not tied to a Photoshop or Elements version because it's a stand alone app) can install additional DNG Profiles as part of the installer...
The DNG Converter can be used to convert raw files to DNG for cameras that are not supported by previous versions of Camera Raw.

Adobe Content Viewer v22 for Android - folio update issue

Yesterday I updated our Xoom to Android 4.1.1 and updated the Adobe Content Viewer to v22. Both we and a client have had issues with not seeing the "Update Available" message for folios that are been updated. The "Updating Library..." message flashes briefly at the top of the viewer in library mode, however nothing changes. It's only after killing the app and restarting that it takes its time while checking the library for updates and finds them. Has anyone else had this issue? The iPad rendition of the same folio has been showing update messages in the usual, almost instantaneous, way.
Has anyone else had difficulty with updating folios in the Android v22 Adobe Content Viewer? In the past couple of versions I've noticed some strangeness with the Sign In/ Sign Out part of the library where it seems like the text tells you you're signed in, but sometimes you have to sign out and sign back in to get updates. Sometimes you could go back to the home screen and then go back into the app and it would trigger a check for updates as well, however that trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Andrew

Thank you for the reply Himanshu. Evidently the problem is much worse than I thought because previously created apps don't even open anymore!
None of the apps we have published to the Android app store are getting past the splash screen. The library flashes briefly on some of them before the app crashes. The error message it gives is "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." This is a big problem!! Will updating the apps to v22 solve this issue? When will Adobe have this major problem fixed?
I'm flashing back to June of last year when reliability of basic functionality (like apps opening and folios being downloadable/viewable) was still unpredictable. You Adobe guys and gals have got to figure out how to make the DPS system dependable. I understand this is an operating system conflict, but surely you knew this update was coming and could test how well your software would hold up to the changes. This isn't a barely used minor feature that isn't working, this is something that makes users uninstall the app and lessens their opinion of the company that released it. Please make this your top priority and get it fixed today. We and our customers are paying for a much higher level of service than this.

Adobe AIR for android, what is going on ?

Hello!
Few days ago i decided to try develop adobe air for android.
Updated my phone to android 2.2 installed Android SDK , Adobe AIR SDK.
Now there are few tutorials out there how to set up Air ap for android.
They all state that u have to install Runtime_Device_Froyo_***********.apk
You can supposidly download it from adobe pre-release, i cant get in there because they don`t let new members to register ?!?!?!
I searched the entire google for 3h in every possible way to find Adobe Air setup for android, but its like it never existed. There are few disabled rapidshare and megadownload links, it is mentioned in a lot of places but you just cant find it anywhere.
How can i setup Adobe AIR for my Android phone ?

Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
Edit:
I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

Reader for Android SOM Doc Object missing certain properties and methods

I have found, much to my chagrin, that although Adobe Reader for Android pretends to allow the filling of forms, the Scripting Object Model is missing essential pieces that have been present in the desktop version for many years. Among these are the Doc object's numFields property and getNthFieldName() method. I find this rather odd since the Doc object's getField() method is fully present and functional.
Basically, I am now finding that time-tested, reasonably simple, forms that worked perfectly on the desktop are broken.
If the Adobe Reader for Android can't provide forms functionality (including basic scripting) that is comparable to the desktop, it shouldn't pretend to allow this at all.
Isn't one of the goals of Adobe Reader to provide a consistent user experience across platforms?
Who would have expected that in the Android product you could get a field by name but not enumerate fields? Guesswork should not come into play here.
Question:
Is there at least some sort of proper documentation for the limited subset of SOM supported by Reader for Android?

Update: I've been able to make progress with the first route mentioned above: adding the mobilecomponents.swc and the mobile.swc theme to my web project
Turns out that Flash Builder had led me wrong in this regard. Adding the mobile SWCs to your Library project with the "merged into code" setting results in the compiler warning:
The swc '/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/frameworks/themes/Mobile/mobile.swc' has style defaults and is in the library-path, which means dependencies will be linked in without the styles. This can cause applications, which use the output swc, to have missing skins. The swc should be put in the external-library-path.
Seeing this the first time, I changed my linkage type to "External" and the warning went away. Then in my web project, I also added the mobile SWCs and set the linkage type to "merged into code" there. Flash Builder seemed happy with that approach, but upon running my application I got bizarre runtime errors (as mentioned above).
Turns out that my first attempt was the correct way. Set the linkage type on the library project to "merged into code" and then don't re-link from your web project. Flash Builder will warn you about it but ignore the warning. Things seem to work pretty well for the most part now! I have an issue or two to look into (ex. List component doens't scroll) but things look pretty promising overall!

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

HT201070 I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!

Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar. Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid. Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced.
The HD wasn't partioned by the way. And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space.
Thanks again.

HT4757 Can the digital camera RAW compatibility update 3.13 work for iPad?

Is Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.06 Affecting My Drivers?

After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.06 and booted in windows 7, I can hear the windows startup sound but there is no display. After rebooting using the last good know config, I was able to login into windows but my ethernet and bluetooth are not working. In the device manager,
Ethernet and bluetooth device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

Maybe. I don't know. I was able to use my ethernet before the update. After the update, I am facing these driver issues. My ethernet adapter cannot be found in the list of network connections.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 and later can not be installed on OSX 10.6.8.

Hi
I bought a new Canon EOS 5D mark 3 and noticed that my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 can not handle the new raw files.
Searching google shown that I need Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 or later.
So I tried with 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14, but all failed during installation with error: "Dieses Update unterstützt nur Aperture 3 und iPhoto 9."
Hmmm
Checking iPhoto ...
About IPHOT shows "Iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)"
So I've updated Iphoto with version 9.2.1 (which I found matching my OSX after stepping down from highest version down ..... Apple is here not really supporting users here .......)
Unfortunately this is only an update.
So I need to install first a newer Iphoto version.
Iphoto 11 I can buy in the app store, but I can not install it on OS/X 10.6.8 .....
Lost!
How do I get my raw files of 5Dm3 visible in OSX 10.6.8 ???????
Any help welcome
Thx
Wolfgang

I maintain up to date my system, yet I have from time to time when I take RAW picture issues in iPhoto not reading them. Today, looking for another issue I came across this update and I was hopping it would resolve my issues with the RAW photos from my Pentax K-30.
The error:
Installer quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the app again. Click Report to see more detail information and send to Apple.

This laptop cannot be upgraded further without hindering its performance. Hence, I need to keep the version of iPhoto that I currently have.
Thank you for your response.
