Cross-platform Help: Which?

Our product is being ported to the Mac OS. I want advice on
which Help platform will work best for publication on the Internet.
I need it to work for Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, IE, Firefox, and
Safari. So far I have found problems with all browsers including
IE.
WebHelp:
Safari/Chrome: Navigation panel is empty, popups appear in
separate windows, links inside a popup window do not return you to
the main page.
All other browsers: Links inside popups return to main page,
but navigation panel does not display.
FlashHelp:
Safari/Chrome: Links inside a popup window do not return you
to the main page, but display the topic in the popup window.
All browsers: Links inside popups return to main page, but
navigation panel does not display.
Is there a way around these problems, or do I have to
eliminate popups?
In addition, I am seeing display problems with our localized
versions of WebHelp when run from a Mac using Safari. The
navigation panel is totally garbage. The English version works
fine, but the German, French, Spanish, etc. versions do not.
Example: www.de.rhino3d.com/4/help/rhinov4.htm.

Sounds like the RoboHelp Packager for AIR (or the Adobe AIR
layout option in RH), which is available for RH 8, will be your
best bet. It will create a single-file executable skin around your
WebHelp, and looks like it will remove all browser issues from the
distribution equation.
You can find some forum posts for this app in the "Other
Single Source Layouts" category.
Good luck,
Leon

Which product to purchase (cross platform necessary from Mac to PC) Adobe Photoshop 6.0.x to ???

I have ancient Mac photoshop and pagemaker files. i need best cross platform product for windows that can access these files. adobe photoshop is my primary concern. I understand the indesign cs2 will import old school mac photoshop 6.0.x but is not compatible with windows 7 ... thank you.
In particular we use windows 7 x64
So in summary, need to determine which Windows 7 x64 version of Indesign CSxx will still open archaic Mac Adobe files (layouts, EPS, etc). Or is there a similar product that must be obtained. I prefer to stick to Adobe products, however, if I must go elsewhere and you can help -- please advise.
Also, if you know what I should obtain, does this product have a trial download option that I can test functionality before purchase? Warranty when I do buy information -- and return policy in general?
Many thanks.

PM support has long been pulled from InDesign. You are going to need some old version like CS or CS2 and save an intermediate step to ID files. PS is not a probelm at all. All programs have 30day trials and Adobe has a general 14day return policy. Refer to the product pages on teh website.

Cross platform power point videos - need help!

I'm trying to create a MS powerpoint that will work on either windoze or Mac (my primary creation platform is MS office 2011 on the mac, but I also have MSO 2010 on an XP machine).
I've somewhat mastered the issues with audio files, but am stymied with videos. I have youtube donwnloaders for both the mac and windows, but cannot get a format with either that is supposed to work cross platform [I can't depend on any iTunes or other non standard apps on the windoze machines].
According to a post on a MS help site, the video formats that are supposed to work crossplatform are: MOV M4V AVI WMV. Unfortunately, neither of the youtube downloaders I have can create any of these formats that work. The downloader on windoze can create an AVI, but PPT won't display it when I embed it in the slide.

Help! Cross Platform Projector issue

Hi all,
I am sure this has been a hot topic for years and I did do
various searches and was surprised not to find anything on it
quickly. Sorry if this has been discussed a lot, as I imagine it
has. We are able to make our functioning mac and win projector with
our win version of flash 8, but everytime I burn the cd on win, the
projector file does not know what to do with itself when trying to
launch back on mac.
Questions:
1. Does cross platform burning have to be performed on a Mac?
2. If so, does one need toast to do the cross platform
burning to make the mac and win projectors groovy on their
respective platforms? We have a brand new MacBook Pro - it seems
like it should have these capabilities built in at this point, but
not sure.
Any pointers here or to a technote would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Recommended way to unit test mobile cross platform C++ in Visual Studio 2015

Hello,
I'm playing with the new Visual Studio 2015 to check its capabilities for cross platform development using C++ as coding language. I've seen several videos in Channel9 about this feature but I don't remember hearing in any of these a word about how
to unit test such projects from Visual Studio 2015. Is there some recommended way to create unit tests for such projects?
I'm not sure I can use Visual Studio test projects for C++ to test the android library or the Windows Phone 8.1. If I add a new platform ARM to a test project of those, I cannot select in the platform toolset combo the values that I have for my libraries
(Clang 3.4 and Windows 8.1 respectively). So it seems that such test projects are not addressed for cross platform c++ in VS2015.
I also have tried to make a second cross platform library project to contain the tests, adding there the Catch.h file from catch framework or adding the files from Google Test framework. My idea was to link each cross platform test library with their corresponding
"production code" libraries. In both cases (catch and gtest) I have problems when trying to compile the test framework files (not sure if it is not possible or just my fault being new at C++ for mobile platforms).
Has anyone succeeded unit testing the cross platform c++ code in VS2015? How?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge.

Hi Jorge,
Thanks you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, since VS2015 Preview is previews for the next major release of Visual Studio, currently we forums don’t provide support for VS2015 Preview. So the product team would accept the suggestions or feedbacks for the VS2015 now.
So you can submit the feedback/suggestions to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously. Thanks for your understanding.
After you submit the feedback, you can post the link here which will be beneficial for other members with the similar issue. And I will help you to vote it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Exchange tasks and to-dos and cross platform continuity

When one creates a task on the PC with the shortcut to create a task it gets created as a to-do and not in the tasks folder or the exchange account. All other devices only look at the tasks folder so tasks are not cross platform.
Ctnl-shift-K is create new task. So why does it only show in the PC to do list and not the task list. It does not then show in the task list
on my mac or other devices. Whoever had a hand in the task and to do set up had no idea of continuity between apps, naming and functions.
Creating a task in the mac environment (too many keystrokes) will create a task but it will often show on my PC in the to-do list but not on the Mac task list on which it was created.
Does anyone have any great answers or solutions? HELP!!!!!!

Since there's no evidence in your post that any of this has anything to do with an Exchange server, I recommend that you post this in the Outlook Forum:

Oracle 10g - Cross-Platform Transportable Database (with or without RMAN?)

Hello guys,
i am currently on a project for migrating oracle databases from one platform to another platform (both platforms are on the same endianess):
-> From Linux 64-Bit to Windows 64-Bit
-> From HP-UX 64-Bit to AIX 64-Bit
All databases are on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) and i have tested two different ways:
1) The "official" way with RMAN CONVERT DATABASE
http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn002.htm#CHDEEEAG
2) "Copy & Paste"
- Copy & Paste of the database files
- Recreate controlfile manually on target platform (with help of "backup controlfile to trace" on source platform)
Both ways are working well and the migrated test databases are running fine.
Now i am wondering why there is a "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" command, if it possible to copy and paste the data files and perform two steps manually afterwards.
The "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" is time consuming and you still need to copy the RMAN output files to the target platform.
Is there any special reason, why you need the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE"? Does the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" change some things in the database files internally?
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
If the source platform and the target platform are of different endianness, then an additional step must be done on either the source or target platform to convert the tablespace being transported to the target format. Of course .. in this case you can not use the "Cross-Platform Transportable Database" - you have to use the "Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace" (with RMAN CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE).
Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
If they are of the same endianness, then no conversion is necessary and tablespaces can be transported as if they were on the same platform.Yes, but oracle provides this with RMAN and the command "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" .. as i already wrote i have already performed the two ways "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" and "just copy & paste" and both are working fine.
So my question is if there is any special case in which you should use the RMAN way with "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" instead of just "copy & paste" if you stay on the same endianness?
Thanks and Regards

Cross platform pdf CD-rom with hyperlinks

Hi there, I am suffering with some cross platform impatience.
Trying to make a cd-rom...the structure is from a root folder-containing an html file which is opened then select links to open particular PDF documents (that all works fine)
In the PDF document there are hyperlinks to other PDf docs, word docs, zip files and powerpoiunt files. They all work perfectly on the PC but no links working from the mac.
Mac is running OS X 10.5.
I have created the links by using the advanced editing options, then add custonm link and add file. Then i select the appropraite file.
I did do it on an older version mac to test too (running mac OS X 10.4.10) and all the linking files worked except for the zip files - which try open a web browser. Thats ok though but then i put the cd-rom in the newer mac and nothing is linking (like dead links)
Thanks for any help - this is an urgent job i have to get out. So speedy replies will be GREATLY appreciated.

Cross-platform upgrade question

I'm posting this question here as I have had less than satisfactory results from asking Customer Support about this issue. I know this forum is moderated by some great folks at Adobe and am hoping someone can clear up this question for me.
I currently own CS3 Design Premium for Windows, and need to purchase CS5 for Mac. A search for "Cross platform swap" on Adobe brought me to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html. However, the instructions there don't match what is offered on the support page. Under Return/Exchange/Refund I have only the following options:
Duplicate Order
Product Didn't perform/ work as expected
Purchased Incorrect upgrade
Purchased Wrong Product/Platform/Language
Shipping Problems
Unable to Download Order
Wrong Product delivered
None of those options is correct as described in the KB article. I decided to chat with Customer Support, and the rep told me that all I had to do is order the upgrade and I could choose which platform to install on first run. Really? The Rep said CS5 included two discs, one for Windows install and one for OS X. He assured me that I would have no problem installing a CS5 upgrade on my Mac, even though I have never installed CS3 on that machine.
I am skeptical about this solution for two reasons: one, Adobe has never offered Win and Mac discs together for CS versions. Two, when I go to pre-order CS5 I need to make a choice between platforms.
Has Adobe changed its method of delivering Creative Suite products? Are both platform discs really included? If not, there are two things that need to be done:
Article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html needs to be corrected. The steps as described cannot be completed.
Customer Support reps need to be notified that they are providing incorrect information regarding cross-platform upgrade procedures.
Finally, I need correct information as to how to go about upgrading my CS3 Windows to CS5 Mac. Do I purchase an upgrade disc and use my CS3 serial number to install? Do I do some sort of return, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance to anyone from Adobe who is willing to take the time to answer my question.

I don't represent Adobe in any capacity other than a mostly satisfied user. Here's what I did on a cross platform (Windows to Mac) exchange--not an upgrade, but my experience may help you.
I, too, found that the directions didn't match the support web site. So I used 'Purchased wrong...' as my subject. I then completely described what I wanted to do in the comments section. I included my current platform version and serial number in the comments. After posting I had a case number to enter onto the Letter of Destruction (LOD) which I then attached to the case. I don't know if a LOD is required in your situation as you will be paying for an upgrade. You should be able to keep both packages active-but customer support will probably know. In my case I had to certify that I had destroyed the original Windows package.
After this was posted to the Adobe Customer Support Portal I then had a case number I could give to the telephone customer support so I called them. While on the line with them they read my case file and informed me my credit card would be charged $5.95 for shipping. Six days later I had the CS4 Design Premium for the Mac. It *should* be just as easy for you.
I must say that I have had to call Adobe Customer Support a handful of times in the last couple of years. In each and every case I received prompt and accurate information that solved my problem or pointed me directly to the solution. I am aware that this is not always the case and wish you good luck.

Issues when a cross platform android app is run on Blackberry 10 alpha simulator

I am facing problems in running a cross platform android App in blackberry 10 Alpha simulator.The App works fine when run in iphone,android devices.But when I run it in blackberry 10 it doesn't load the template files hence a blank screen.The project is based on backbone framework hence template files.Currently the files are local in my hard-disk. I am loading the templates using an ajax call. The logcat output generated of the same is listed below:- 02-08 05:30:51.861: D/CordovaLog(233525377): {"readyState":4,"responseText":"","status":404,"statusText":"error"}
I have added in config.xml file . Is there anything else I am missing to make the app run on blackberry 10?? I had the same issue with nook HD which was avoided by using super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); in the onCreate method.But since blackberry uses 2.3.3 of Android,I am unable to add the same settings. Please let me know If I am missing any specific configuration related content for blackberry 10.Thanks

Hey Steve_web,
This issue can be caused when MAC address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi network, and the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook is not accepted. Try adding the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network and test.
The following article may be helpful as well:

http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB26096
Also if you contact the BlackBerry PlayBook support team they can do log review to determine the cause; you can find the contact information here: http://us.blackberry.com/legal/blackberry-playbook-complimentary-support-plan-terms-and-conditions.h...

Cs2 cross platform upgrade

Hi there, I own cs2 and finally bought a mac and would like to upgrade, cross platform. I understand that I cannot upgrade past cs5, which is fine with me. But I can't figure out how to find cs5, help!
Thanks so much,
Beth

CS5 is no longer sold by Adobe. They only sell the current version CS6.
Your remaining option for upgrading is to find a secondhand copy. Just beware of buying secondhand software due to rampant piracy and ubiquitous invalid serial numbers.

What's the proper way to do this cross-platform app?

hey y'all
I'm making a multimedia app with LV2010 and I'm trying to make it cross platform (win and mac os x).
The functionality I need requires the use of system libraries, I have access to somewhat similar functions in both OS's
(winmm.dll in windows, coreMidi.framework in mac OS X)
Except for the actual system calls the VIs will be identical.
I can make the VI work in either platform by using the call library function node, but i don't want to have two copies of everything.
I've tried doing a wrapper sub VI that puts the call library function node in a case statement and detect the OS but this VI will not be executable because of dependencies (won't find the library referenced in one of the cases. depending on the OS executed)
Is there any way I can specify which subVI's to load on a project or something to get this whole dependency issue sorted?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You want to wrap the platform-specific code in a Conditional Disable structure, with one condition for each supported platform. The OS symbol is already defined; see the help for Creating Conditional Disable Structures, which lists the pre-defined symbols and values.

Suggestion on using Cross platform JMF

hi all,
I have been using JMF windows performance pack to run audio and video in an applet.After creating jar file out of that, i tried running it in another system and found that,my jar file executes only after installing JMF in that system.How to solve this problem.What if i want to execute my jar file in other platforms such as linux,mac os x,etc.Should i use CROSS PLATFORM JMF.Please help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Regards

The performance pack versions of JMF are "generally" just for video capture functionality, eg. webcams and tv cards.
If your code just requires JMF to play media ( video/sound) then I suspect you can get away with the cross-platform version. But if you need video capture, then that's too intensive for pure java, and Sun had to use native code, which required the separate "performance pack" releases.
regards,
Owen
