Confusion and Inconsistency
Hey guys,
We currently have an adobe air application that we are using for digital signage, and plan to continue developing it further, we are using the AIR application updater framework but i'm totally confused now with 2.5 -> 2.6 -> 2.7 how to keep our network up to date aswell as continue to develop our app with ongoing versions of flash,
I downloaded the trial of cs5.5 to check it out, opened our CS5 application tried to test/publish and it now comes up with
[StatusUpdateErrorEvent (type=updateError text=unknown update version id=16815 + subErrorID=0)]
I've tried changing the updateConfig.xml and the online update.xml to all sorts of combinations 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 2.6 etc none of them fix the issue, and it's super hard to find information on the plan / how to keep it all working
Some background info:
We currently build a pc install the latest AIR runtime and then send the computer to an onsite location with our application preinstalled, and we currently keep it up to date using the AIR application update framework. We have 50 - 60 computers running the app globally and we need to be able to keep them updated remotely
My main questions are:
How can i continue to update our app if i develop using future versions of flash?
Can i update these apps to 2.6 etc without breaking them/causing errors?
Does the AIR Runtime version update itself eg in the background or is it stuck with whatever we preinstalled on the box?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Hello Scott,
Thank you for reply and sorry being late to answer. I used to get notification about reply and this time I had to go search what is going on with my issue.
For the purpose of demonstration I uploaded application without some code and without some pages but login page is there:
login:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn
workspace: WS_BOILER_CERT
userid: [email protected]
password: nevenka
application: 61841 - BO_CERT_TEST_TRAN_SCOTT
On page 101 you can notice process: Set Username Cookie, that I do not know how it came to this page.
You can test login and logout with 2 additional users/passwords: 77777/change1 and 6666/broker2 and you can see that if you login and logout, on next login you have previous user set. If you by some chance have same password for both users then you are transparently logged as previous user not the one that enetered user id.?
I guess error that you may get are not important for this issue, so you can ignore them.
Thank you again and sorry being that late.

"Recent Items" is really confused and inconsistent
Is there any way to get "Recent Items" to be the same in all applications? Basically, I have two sets of "Recent Items". The "Recent Items" in Safari and Mail are almost always wrong and do not get updated. I just now cleared by Recent Items from the Finder and from Safari. Then, I opened a document from the Finder. Next, I opened an attachment inside Mail. Now, I have to different sets of Recent Items menus, depending on what application is running.
Is this a known problem and, if so, is there a known way to fix it? Thanks.None that I know about. Why would say TextEdit want to know where Safari last visited? It makes sense to me that recent items/folders/etc should only reflect what the current application can deal with. Since Finder deals exclusively with folders, why would you want it know anything about files? What exactly did you do to clear recent anything from Finder and Safari, since there's only a Go->Recent Folders in the Finder and only a History file in Safari?

The design of this website is confusing and hard to use.
Adobe are regarded as the industry standard of design software, so it seems ironic (or embarrassing) that this website is so poorly designed. I came here simply wanting to post a question about Flash Player but found it the whole experience to be confusing, bewildering and frustrating.
I will list my ten major criticisms below:
1. ILLEGIBLE FONTS
Many of the site's styles (eg discussion titles) use horribly small fonts, to the point of being illegible and nauseating at normal viewing distance. I have to lean forwards towards the screen to read it. I have never had this issue with any other site I visit. The font used is not a screen font and is simply not suitable for being displayed at that size and looks quite ugly (eg lower case 'e' has no hole). In addition, some of the styles use almost illegible colors (eg gray on lighter gray). This kind of "minuscule" typography might be perfect for a small space (eg application control panels), but for a website displayed on a modern computer monitor (at least 1920 pixels wide) it is totally inappropriate. And my monitor is large, I dread to think how small the text would look on a small screen.
2. UNCOMFORTABLE LAYOUT
The layout spans the whole width of the screen, making it very uncomfortable to use the site. All the important elements are aligned either to the left or the right of the screen, with a vast gap in the middle, meaning that one has to constantly dart one's eyes (or neck) back and forth, which is made even worse by the small font size which requires a person to "move in" towards the screen.
3. LACK OF PAGE TITLES
To add to the sense of disorientation, many of the key pages don't have a title, so you simply do not know where you are or what you are looking at. For example if you go to the main list of all the communities (forums.adobe.com/places), there is no title; nothing to tell you what you are looking at. Likewise, if you do a search, there is no title (eg "Search results"). Having titles at the top of pages is fundamental to web design so people don't get confused about where they are.
4. THE "FORUMS" DON'T LOOK LIKE FORUMS
I was brought to the "Using Flash Player" page by an external link, and when I arrived I was just totally confused about where I was and what I was looking at. The page title "Using Flash Player" didn't tell me I was in a discussion community. The page is littered with so many different links and features it is hard to know where to look and what the purpose of the page is. The page does not have a sense of being a discussion forum. I expect a discussion forum to have the word "discussion" somewhere at the top, with a list of threads and information such as last post, replies, views, as well as a way to see how many threads there are in that forum and a way to navigate between pages and see older threads. Not to mention all the strange buttons which I will mention in my next point…
5. MYSTERIOUS BUTTONS
A good website uses terminology and controls that people recognize and understand. But all the buttons on this site are strange. At the top of each discussion forum we have "Overview", "Content", "People", "Sub-communities" and "Follow". I can honestly say I have no idea what any of those mean or do (with the exception of "Sub-communities"). Websites should use clear, unambiguous language so that people know what the controls do and are not clicking on the "unknown". If your site does have unconventional controls that people are not going to be familiar with, you should have tooltip popups which explain, to make it easy for newcomers. I have clicked on those strange buttons but on the whole I have not been able to work out what they do. The "People" button would seem to be a way of finding users/members but surely that is a rare function and it should be at the foot of the page not in a prominent location? Likewise when you do a search, you must choose whether to search for "Content", "People" or "Communities". Most people will have no idea what the first two of these options mean, I certainly don't. It's just a very weird site.
6. INCONSISTENT LAYOUT
Another confusing thing is that there seem to be as many page layouts as there are pages! Every different page I have been to has no common elements or common menus, everything changes. Even different community pages have different features and different layouts. This leaves you feeling totally disoriented. A website's basic controls and menus should not keep shifting around, it leaves the user with no sense of continuity; it cripples their understanding of how the site functions; and it prohibits them from distinguishing between a page's controls and its content, since both keep changing around.
7. BUGGY
I am less critical of bugs because I know that inevitably they happen, and likewise will inevitably be resolved. But in my brief time using the forums I came across plenty of bugs, two are on the main welcome page:
A) First of all, a pop-up box appears which says "Say Something" inviting me to click on the pencil icon. I then click on the pencil icon and another box appears with options. However, the "Say Something" box is still there and it obscures the box below it. You can't click on it, so you have to click off both boxes, then the "Say Something" box is active again, then you can click on the small "skip" button, and then finally you can click on the pencil icon again and see what was there all along. Not a serious bug, but clumsy.
B) Also on the welcome screen there is a link at the top which says "New to the community? Check out our guidelines". I didn't hesitate to click on this because by this point I felt totally lost and confused and wanted all the help I could get. I clicked on that button and it took me to a page called Community Guidelines. I clicked on the first link ("Find answers to questions") which took me to an error page ("Unauthorized. Access to this community or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here.
8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Finally, the terms and conditions upon signing up are unreasonably long, to the point of being prohibitive. If someone is having a problem with their software, they don't want to have to spend hours reading through terms and conditions before they can even get to ask a question. It is completely out of order to force people to read all those terms and conditions, and especially forcing people to re-read the whole thing any time there is an update. It is simply laziness on the part of the admin. They could carefully go through the terms and conditions and identify the key elements which have been changed and provide the user with a neat summary, thus saving thousands of people many hours of reading. When I take out a mortgage on a house, I have terms and conditions to read, and I expect there to be a lot. But when I simply want to sign up to a discussion forum, I do not expect a similar level of terms and conditions. People can go to, say, Yahoo or Google or YouTube and discuss these issues freely without having to read any terms and conditions at all. By putting up all these barriers you are just turning people away.
9. IDENTITY CRISIS
Finally (and in conclusion) I would say that the site doesn't seem to know why it exists: whether it is aimed at helping the general public or amusing technology lovers?
I would have expected a site like this to be aimed at the general public, since it is promoted as a help resource by Adobe, and covers a very wide range of products, meaning that a very large and wide range of people should be expected to visit it.
However, the site gives the opposite impression. It has what I would call a steep "learning curve", with complex page layouts, full of unconventional controls and features, as well as the emphasis on community. This would all seem to suggest it is more of an exclusive site aimed more at techy people who want to "hang out" here and become regular users. I feel it is excluding laypeople and casual visitors who are simply seeking quick help.
To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help".
If you want a good example of a good, clean, elegant design that is easy to use, go to www.google.com you will notice that the controls are simple and easy: the eye is immediately drawn to the central part of the screen where the main controls are and there are only two buttons. Then if you want to see more advanced features you can go to the smaller controls which are tucked away in the top right corner and do not distract anyone.Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down. -
My iMac locks up constantly in email. I click on one or two emails. Then when I click on another email, I get the spinning wheel and have to relaunch. Why does it get confused and lock up? Seems like it is stuck.
10.6.8 here, MacBook Pro. Comcast. Mail freeze ups. Occasional warnings to use "Log Out" under the Apple icon.
Disk Repair run several times. Shows lots of Java "remote" issues.

Hi, I upgraded my Iphone 3gs from version 4.1 to 6.0.1 but upon restarting, the sim card is no longer recognized, i cant restore with itune nothing at all!! i'm so confused and ****** off... please provide any help
Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?
Has the device ever been hacked or jailbroken?
Have you tried simply removing and re-installing the SIM? What about replacing the SIM? -
why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice
This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

The problem started after last update. I tried following the directions in firefox Help without success. They were confusing and the instructions did not match what I was seeing on my screen. I need a simple quick fix thank you.
There could be more than one reason for such messages.
There is a problem sometimes with the database file used for history and bookmarks see
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
There was a change made which seems to affect some Windows users, and has a workaround, but tends to result in images etc not loading rather than a not responding message see
* [[firefox never finishes loading certain websites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections]]_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections
Are you getting any other error messages, or indications of problems ?
* not directly related to an update but also see [[firefox hangs]]
* and [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
P.S. <br/> I note you have BrowserPlus, that has sometimes, recently, been associated with firefox problems, it would certainly be worth trying temporarily disabling that. -
Multi-CD language course and inconsistent CDDB names?
I've just loaded a French language course onto itunes - consists of 10 CDs. Itunes found CD title and track info in CDDB which it downloaded, but most of it's hopelessly inaccurate and inconsistent... eg some of the discs were imported under 'Compilation'; others under the name of the course teacher, and at least three different spellings have been used so they appear on iTunes as different people. I've experimented with manually renaming and sorting the files under Windows Explorer and also under iTunes, but am unable to stop things continually reverting to the original names.
What is the correct process here?
- Should I rename and sort the files in iTunes or Explorer? Should I check the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organied?" box or not?
- Ideally once it's done I'd like to upload my version to CCDB so future users won't have the same problem - how do I do that?hi Cyarbon!
there isn't a dedicated technical-feedback/feature-request channel for itunes. but there is one for the ipod. since itunes is the only supported means of getting music onto an ipod, i reckon that's a worthy channel through which to make itunes feature requests direct to the Appley-folks:

Time capsule is slow and inconsistent
It seems that the wifi is much slower than my old airport extreme, and inconsistent in terms of connectibility and strength. Any hints? I've been at this for two days.
All,
Maybe trying some of these suggestions will help?
*_Slow Time Capsule Transfer Speeds_*
*Initial Backup Best Over Ethernet*
It is recommended that you perform the initial full backup via ethernet, then all subsequent backups via wireless.
*Transmit Power & Wide Channels*
If you are using the 802.11n only (5 GHz) radio mode, you can also select to use wide channels, which provide higher data throughput in your network.
Launch Airport Utility
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Airport” in the toolbar.
Click the “Wireless” tab.
Click “Wireless Options...” at the bottom of the window.
Adjust the “Transmit Power” to 100%.
Put a check mark in the box labeled “Use Wide Channels”.
Click “Done”.
Click “Update” in the lower right hand corner.
Wait for the Time Capsule to restart and then see if your network speeds improve.
*Anti-Virus Software*
Are you running anti-virus software. Disable it and see if network speeds improve. The discussion boards are filled with users who are experiencing degraded network speeds due to their anti-virus software.
One poster observed: “I had the exact same problem 5mins ago, it had taken 2 hours to back up 2GB, I realized I installed Sophos anti virus a couple of days ago. When I turned that off my back up is speeding through.”
Another contributor stated, “I am doing the first backup to my time capsule, about 71 Gb, It seems to be going about 1 Gb per hour. is this seem OK? I tried the ethernet connection and the speed was about the same. It has been going all night and after 12 hours it is at only 12 Gb of 71….I found the problem, I uninstalled Norton and the problem went away. It backed up in about 3 or 4 hours”
*Wireless Security Issue*
Some who have experienced degraded network speeds have isolated the problem to their wireless security setup. Try this:
Launch Airport Utility
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Airport” in the toolbar.
Click the “Wireless” tab.
Change “Wireless Security” to “None”.
Click “Update” in the lower right hand corner.
Wait for the Time Capsule to restart and then see if your network speeds improve.
Granted, this is far from desirable. But it does help to isolate the problem in you instance. Maybe simply resetting the security with a new password will help?
Let us know if any of these procedures helped.
Cheers! -
EA4500 speeds very slow and inconsistent
Purchased the EA4500 a few months ago. Worked fine for a week or two. Now my download speeds bounce between 2mbps-20mbps and its constantly stuttering. My modem gives me 100mbps when im wired in so I know for a fact that the modem is not the issue. I'm using both the 5ghz band and 2.4ghz band and both of them give me terrible results. The speed is so slow and fluxuates so often it's barely usuable. I've tried changing settings with the media prioitization, I've tried changing the MTU size, I've tried using different channels, I've tried rebooting the router, setting it back to factory settings and even tried using the classic firmware and that just locked me out of my router since the router login and password no longer worked (default and ones Ive set). I'm at a loss here and getting really fed up with this garbage router. Is there any fix for this? I've scoured the internet looking for an answer and all I've seen is other people problems never being fixed.
Yes, I'm currently using the most current firmware which is version 2.1.41.164606. I've tried all previous firmware versions and the speed is still very slow and inconsistent on every one. I've rebooted to factory twice now and tried changing channels, MTU sizes and channel width on both the 2.4 ghz and 5ghz networks. It worked fine for about a month and suddenly it barely works now. If anyone has a solution that would be great but If not I'll just get a netgear N750 when I have the money.

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?
No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.
