Creating an iOS App with File Sharing Activated
From what I can decipher, the only way for a user to retrieve a document created by an iOS app is through iTunes, but only if the app has file sharing activated.
Is there a way to create an iOS app in Flash CS5.5 and make it a file sharing app?
I used the following code for sharing files to documents directory, and it works just fine. I am able to access the files copied by the app.
I made this app using Flash Builder. I will share another one using Flash Pro, soon.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function shareFile():void
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("original.swf");
var dest:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("copy.swf");
file.copyTo(dest, true);
input.text = "File Written";
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:TextArea id="input" x="216" y="89" width="336" height="59"/>
<s:Button id="button" x="292" y="220" width="184" height="50" label="Share Data" click="shareFile()"/>

Can you please share the app/more details about the issue in the meanwhile?

IOS 8 with Family Sharing activated bug
Is anyone else experiencing a bug where music will download from iTunes Match via cellular data through the “Media Services” System Service? Here are the pertinent settings on my iPhone:
Settings -> Cellular -> Use Cellular Data for, disabled: App Store, iTunes Store, and Music
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Automatic Downloads, disabled: Music, Apps, and Updates
Settings -> Music -> iTunes Match, enabled
iCloud account: [email protected]
iTunes & App Store account: [email protected]
Family Share "Organizer" account: [email protected]
Before I activated and linked my [email protected] account to Family Share, music did not download over Cellular--which is how it should be with the first three setting above. However, after connecting to Family Share, the iPhone consumed over 1.5GB of cellular data in 30 minutes. When I looked to see what had been downloaded, I discovered that a bunch of music from iTunes Match had been downloading in the background (I do not remember initiating the downloads). Music continued downloading until I completely disabled all Cellular Data (Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Data). When I re-enabled Cellular Data, music began downloading again. Eventually it stopped because all the free space was filled.
This morning, I deleted all of the music off of my iPhone, disabled iTunes Match, and then re-enabled it. While on a Wi-Fi network, in the Music app, I selected a playlist to download, after a few songs downloaded, I turned off the Wi-Fi, and now the music does not download via cellular data--which, again, is how things are supposed to work with the given settings. I do not know if this means the problem has gone away--I hope so, though because this bug blew through my monthly allotment of "high speed cellular data".I'm having the same issue. I don't use Family Sharing.
When I updated my 5s to iOS 8, I enabled iTunes Match and downloaded my playlists, then after a little while I discovered that I had run out of space. When I looked in the storage settings, it had downloaded an extra 5GB of music! Fortunately this all happened over wifi.
However, I got my iPhone 6 Plus, and decided to set it up as a new device. When I enabled iTunes match and downloaded my playlists, went out with friends and got a text from EE saying I'd used 80% of my allowance, and then 10 mins later another text saying my allowance was all used up!
Checked under Cellular Data and I noticed Media Services had downloaded 2.7GB of data while I was out and the phone was in my pocket! Went to iTunes Store and saw there was still some pending downloads that had stopped because my data had run out! Really annoying this. My playlists add up to about 4.5GB, but my total music storage is now 10GB. That's 5.5GB of music I didn't select to download! It's sneaky this iOS 8!
Worth nothing that I do have Automatic Downloads enabled for Music and to use Cellular Data. This has never happened before though! I wondered if it was some sort of Genius feature to download more music it thinks you might like. God knows. Hope it gets sorted! -
Can Flash CS5.5 create ios app with in game purchase function?
Can I use flash CS5.5 to create ios app with in game purchase function and other ios specific functions? Is there any limitation compare to using ios native development environment? Same questions for Android OS.
Thank you very much.First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
Using the + icon you can add your video.
Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \
Good luck -
I am unable to find the "apps" selection under device in itunes (windows) now and thus no longer have access to file sharing . I do have an app on my ipod touch 5 that requires file sharing to copy files from/to. That app is "my disk". I presume that this app is no longer recognized by IOS as a file sharing app. Can you shed any light on this. The App works fine otherwise. can anyone shed light on this?
Even if you have printer and file sharing enabled, you still might not be able to perform those operations if your firewall is blocking those requests.
I ran into this exact issue the other day while setting up a wireless for someone.
They have Norton Security. I went in to the firewall and indeed found that file sharing and printer sharing was blocked. I unblocked it, and everything worked fine.
Much to my dismay, the Norton Firewall seemed to keep on changing its mind every time I rebooted. I eventually turned off Norton and turned on the Windows firewall AND ENABLED file and print sharing (it's not enabled by default).
The person that I have set this up for is happy with that configuration, but I really want to figure out what the deal is with Norton.
So, bottom line, check your firewall. -
Native iOS app with MAF logon components: Linking fails
Hi all,
I try to compile a SDK 3.0 project with MAF logon components.
I followed this tutorial and finally got a running iOS app with the dependencies for the SDK: Getting started with SMP3 Native OData iOS apps
Now I would like to add MAF logon component usage. The Sybase guide describes this under Developing with MAF Logon. I copied the basic initialization steps from there to my project.
However, although I have all the required headers, the linker fails trying to find the implementation for MAFLogonUIViewManager.h
I guess I did not add a dependency properly. In which of the files/bundles added should this component be?
Best, MartinHi,
I am having a similar issue. I am following the same instructions. At the point where I create the LogonHandler, the file MAFLogonManagerNG.h is not found by Xcode. This file does not seem to be present in the SDK either. When I comment it out, the MAFLogonUIViewManager is not recognized.
Have you been able to resolve your issue? -
HT201301 how to add app to file sharing list ?
how to add app to file sharing list ?
For expamle, i have autocad ws app on iPad. When i had previous version of iTunes i saw this program in file sharing list.
After upgrading iTunes AutoCad have gone from this list, how can I return this back?
Thank You.From what I read in the app description in iTunes on my computer, you need some sort of account and you use this with a desktop program as well. Files are uploaded to a server???
I see no mention of file sharing in the app description.
https://itunes.apple.com/app/autocad-ws/id393149734?mt=8
BTW, you cannot add an app to file sharing - it has to suppport file sharing on it's own - it must be built into the app. If the app supports file sharing, it will be in the file sharing apps list in iTunes. -
I have iBooks on my iPad 2 and iPhone4. I also have some PDF files that I transferred from my desktop computer into my iBooks Library. I'm assuming that I transferred those PDF files via the File Sharing protocol with the iBooks App.
I now want to add another new PDF file to my iBooks Library, however I don't see iBooks as an available App for File Sharing in the Apps window; I see the following Apps as being available, GarageBand, Google Earth, Keynote, Kindle, Pages, and Quickoffice --- but no iBooks. I can't determine what I did to transfer some previous PDF files into iBooks, I assume it was with the file share feature and that iBooks was a listed App available for file sharing, but it does not appear as available now.
Is there another way to get a PDF file into iBooks or is there something that I need to perform to get iBooks to appear as a File Sharing App.It's not done via file sharing, it's done via the Books tab on the device in iTunes . You can add the PDFs into iTunes either via File > Add File to Library or by dragging them over and onto iTunes - they should then appear in the Books section of your iTunes library (if Books doesn't appear on the left-hand pane as a 'Library' then you can add it by ticking it on the General tab in Edit > Preferences). You can then add them to your iPad either by dragging them across from the Books library and onto the iPad, or via the iPad device's Books tab

Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers
Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)? Is this possible? I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do). I am not sure this exact question has been
asked, so my apologies if it has.
Here is my configuration.
Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs: a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
What i did:
On Machine A: I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC. The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network). My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy". On
the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
On Machine B: It doesn't work. I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
Question: How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
Thanks for any help you can provide.The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

Install Tiger with file sharing?
I have an Emac with a cd drive. I realize I can install Tiger via target disk mode with another Mac with dvd capabilities. I can also see how this might be the preferred method.
Is it acceptable/advisable to install with file sharing?Is it acceptable/advisable to install with file sharing?

Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders
I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
Goto system preferernces-->accounts
click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel. -
Problems with File Sharing.... prev query unanswered
Hello everyone,
I posted this query last month and have yet to solve the problem. I was hoping for some fresh ideas.
I am running a network on an OS X Server between three labs (around 50 computers connected). One lab has 3 IBMs running with Windows XP that are connected directly to a switch (via cable) and 1 IMac that runs from an airport device (Base).
The second lab has 3 computers running from the switch, and 3 Macs running from an additional airport baystation (located in that lab).
The problem I am having deals with file sharing. We have several folders which all users have access to ("public" folders) as well as "user" folders which allow access to the individual users, faculty members, and the admin account.
All permissions under "server preferences" seem to be defined appropriately.
Eg) selected "only those registered users" with specified user access indicated.
Initially after setup, all folder access within the two primary labs appears correct on all computers. However, within a few days, all Macs that run from the Baystation in the second lab no longer show correct folder access.
No problems occur with the IMac in the first lab.
Typically only one student folder will appear, and it will not be the correct one. No public folders show up (or rarely do). I had thought it may be a problem with users logging out, so I changed settings to induce an automatic logout after 30min of inactivity. This worked at first, but the problem again started after a few days.
I have tried many things and this problem still seems to occur within a few days of having fixed it. I am wondering if it may be an issue with the Baystation, though I am not sure how to address this. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
Thanks.Hi There,
We have just upgraded all design computers to imac and upgraded our software to CS5 and we are still having the same problem.
I called Adobe at the beginning of the week and they told me to speak to our IT department as it could be an issue with the preferances on out network.
Last time I spoke with IT they told me it was an Adobe issue. I am still very concerned about it but I have a tiny bit of relief that someone else is having the same trouble (although very annoying).
Any ideas on how to fix it? Are you running a windows server?
Please let me know if you find out any relevant info on this and I will do the same.
Thanks -

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?
We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
MattNo, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

Issues with file sharing after changing password
Last night I changed my system password on my MacBook Pro and for some reason it caused some issues with my file sharing with my windows PC.
I was able to finally get the notebook to connect again to the XP PC shared documents by going through finder to go to network and then connected. But the PC would not see the notebook. Everything was communicating fine when I first got the system two weeks ago.
Tech support did what they could tonight and I finally just decided to set up a connection to my notebook by entering the notebooks ip address on the pc.
It's alte and sorry for the rambling, but does anyone know why the pc (as well as others in the house) no longer see the notebook?
JimNo, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

VIDEO: Creating Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1
Hi Everyone,
Colin Fleming of Adobe has created this great video on how to create Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1 (and later) and posted it to YouTube. Check it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_gvAoySuoThanks Bob, I'm getting there, it seems like I'm working my way through a jigsaw puzzle!
I get the Adoble ID for signing in, which is the valid email that I then use to sign in to folio builder and producer
such as [email protected], but for the Apple in-app purchasing they use a reverse domain structure one for the length the subscription will last, (in my case 1 year) so I use info.aq2.publication.annual and then the 2nd non-consumable I create a product ID for each publication ie info.aq2.publication.winter11. These later 2 reverse domains are what I've put in the viewer builder.
So what I'm not understanding yet is how I link an individual Apple ID to a folio in Folio producer
so sign in to folio producer, with [email protected]
do I use the Apple ID (reverse domain structure) in the folio name?
In Folio producer I will have all of my quarterly folio's
will it be
Folio Name Publication Name Folio Number Etc
info.aq2.publication.winter11 CM Review 1
