Desktop app performance

Hello,
here is my setup
Filr 1.1
Large-installation
Active Directory
One of my users wants to synchronize multiple folders. Total size is approximately 50GB.
Running the sync all at once probably is not a good idea.
We tried to spread the initial sync in stages. Still after the 2-3GB it seems it gets extremely slow. It gets stuck on .pdf files and shows that it still tries to sync.
Laptop is sitting in the office. Connected over LAN. Issue currently present on mac OS X. Will test Windows overnight.
Is there any session timeout for the desktop client? Is there also theoretical limit to the number/size of synced files?
What is the approximate transfer rate from the filr appliance with bulk synchronisations?

my issue is still not resolved. Indeed it has become more complex.
MAC OS X does not sync
Windows desktop sync client seems to be syncing.
1) throws all kinds of error messages in the console
a) the "XXX" folder could not be moved on the server
b) the "YYY" file could not be downloaded because the server is busy
c) the "ZZZ" file could not be downloaded
2) the Filr folder on the windows PC does not show the context check marks or red crosses to indicate which folder has been synced or not.

Creative Cloud desktop app totally empty - not even Preferences...?

I have from before Production Premium CS6 and Lightroom 4 installed on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM).
I joined then CC Photography Package and after login to my account I went to the DL section to download one of the programs and install it. The Creative cloud desktop app is installed, but it is empty. Not only is there neither a Photoshop CC nor a Lightroom 5 there, there's no menu and if I try to determine the app version as in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html - there's not even a Preferences to select...
I get no error message, and going to the Download center and trying to download Photosgop or Lightroom just gets me a blink of "waiting for creative.adobe.com..." and then focus is changed to the empty Creative Cloud desktop app.
Checking my account I can see that both my product licences for CS6/LR4 are there, as is my CC Photography package.
I can add that I have restarted the system, reinstalled the Creative Cloud app and tried other things I can think of. But I still only get an empty Creative Cloud app, without a possibility to login to my Adobe account.

Here's from the PDApp.log:

CC Desktop App constantly requires clean reinstalls to work on Mac!

Hi Adobe community,
I have had constant problems with the Creative Cloud Desktop App not loading on start up or unable to launch it manually thus crashing every single CC application on my Mac running 10.7.5. Worst still, this is at least the 3rd time on this machine I have had to run the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool to be able to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop App to be able to start working with any CC app. It has barely been a week since the last time and it has done it again, this is rediciolous.
A few things to note.
This never has happened on two Window PCs I've seen running CC
A friend install it on their Mac (which is completely different model and probably was running OSX 10.8, though at the time I wasn't looking for that info) and I had to clean install the CC Desktop App to get it working.
I use the same subscription and jump between two machines, ie a PC at the studio and the Mac on location/at home.
If there is any extra information that would be useful to help diagnose let me know.

Hi Romsinha,
I have tried your suggestion and while it worked briefly after following your steps it is still having the same problems.
Some how I think this is a software bug for Macs that still needs resolving as I don't think everytime requiring a clean install everytime just to use Photoshop or other CC programs is optimal performance!
I would be happy to test any new fixes that are meant to fix the problem but at present I can't even tell you what version of the CC Desktop app is running as it's frozen though it supposably updated sucessfully yesterday...

Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync or recognise apps

While running OSX 10.6.8 I installed CC apps. But CC desktop app needed newer OS. So I upgraded to 10.8.4 and installed CC desktop app. It prompts me to update my CS6 software (and I can't make these prompts go away) and tells me I have no apps installed. Also, file sync is non-existant and I have no "Creative Cloud Files" folder. I need to be able to sync because I have another Mac at home that I do work on. What to do?

HI Steve633
Do you happen to have the older Adobe Application Manager still installed? If so, then i would suggest that you uninstall the Adobe Application manager.
I would suggest to perform the steps in Solution 1 & 2 of this help doc.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
Then if you have not updated to the new Creative Cloud Application manager version Version 1.1.2.232 released on 9/4/2013 Then you can uninstall the older version from your system and click here to download the udpated software. https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Then you should have the option for the Typekit font syncing. You can sign up for the early access to the Typkit fonts here if you have not done this already. http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-and-typekit-font-sync-rolling-out/
Let me know if this works for you
Thanks

Creative Cloud Desktop App stuck on blue spinning wheel after update.

After searching the forums, I found a post suggesting a fix.
I performed the following steps:
1- uninstalled CC desktop app
2- deleted all the preference files in the OOBE folder for my user profile
3- rebooted
4- downloaded CC desktop app again and reinstalled
I get stuck on a blue spinning wheel after the login prompt. All I can see is the behance tab and the apps tab. No home screen, no files tab, no fonts tab... I can go into preferences but cannot make any changes, as it goes back to waiting. My internet access works fine, meanwhile.
Can someone provide suggestions? I'm spending a LOT of time trying to resolve this.
Thank you

This worked for me:
Open Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder. Type in ~/library and hit enter.
Open Application Support/Adobe folder and rename OOBE folder to OOBEold.
Click on Apple icon on the top left, select System Preferences
Choose the network that is currently connected to internet that can be Ethernet or
Airport(Wireless). Click on Advanced button and click Proxies Tab.
Under 'Select a Proxy server to Configure' Uncheck all the proxy check boxes, then uncheck 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)'.
Hope this helps someone else.

Creative Cloud Desktop App Does Not Work

Since the last updates, the Creative Cloud Desktop app no longer works. That is, I can no longer sync files, upload files, or update apps. Everything with the Creative Cloud Desktop App used to work fine. I am using Windows 7, 64 Bit system.
The files I try to upload through the desktop app, are under 5 GB. Some are 10 MB. When I try to upload a file I get a message that says: Sync Failure - with no detail about the failure.
When the app tells me there's an update(s), when I either choose one update or update all I get a message that says: Update Failure - with no detail about the failure.
I have tried to solve this problem by turning file and font sync off and then back on, or logging out and then back in.
The Abobe Team, should test this product further. I just want the community to know that this product does not always perform as expected. Therefore, it's not always reliable.
I would upload some screen shots, but after pressing the camera icon, the images would not insert.
Any help would be appreciated.

Communication between a web app and a desktop app

Hi,
I would like to know how i can make a web application communicate with a desktop application (protocols,technologies, patterns�).
And if I'm using a jsp web app and a java se app?
Indeed, i have a desktop app. which use some information provided by an user via a web app,and the work performed by the desktop app cannot be performed inside a web container.
Thanks.

you mean it the other way around I think. You have a desktop app that needs to communicate with a web application.
There are multiple ways.
1) use plain old XML combined with URLConnection / HttpClient
2) use XML-RPC
3) use SOAP
and there are more even. You will need to decide for yourself which technology can do what you require.

Using Creative Cloud 2014 apps, but Creative Cloud 2014 desktop app never installed.

I have been trying to solve this issue for months now. When I installed the 2014 update for Creative Cloud, my CC desktop app disappeared (the app that shows you updates and is a shortcut to all apps, etc). Now, applying updates and getting fonts is a real pain. Also, when I installed the 2014 update, instead of overwriting my current apps like it always had, it installed the 2014 ones and kept the old versions. This caused many issues when I uninstalled the old versions. However, I never uninstalled the desktop app, it just disappeared during the install of 2014. Is there any way to solve this issue besides uninstalled and re-installing all the apps? If that is the only solution, will is cause any issues with documents I am currently working on?

Hi Srezler,
Adobe CC-2014 is not an update but new version of the products that we offer to our customers that is the reason why it never deleted the older versions for you. While doing the update, Creative Cloud Desktop was never supposed to be removed from the machine and it seems like that it got removed may be because of corrupt installation ( Could be because of download corruption).
I suggest lets follow the below steps and suggest if this worked for you or not and accordingly we can proceed further.
1) Perform an uninstallation fo CC Desktop application if it is available in the Control Panel ( Utilities > Adobe Installers for MAC).
2) Navigate to the following locations and Rename OOBE to OOBE_old.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE ( /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE for MAC )
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE for MAC).
Post doing the above steps, please use the below link for installation of Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Has anyone used Verizon Messages Desktop App

I'm curious, is there anyone out there that has used the Verizon Messages Desktop App? Were you able to use it successfully? Can you still?
You can download it here (The icon that says "Download Desktop App")
Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
I opened this thread which I'm pretty sure has just joined all of the other forgotten threads that never get answers.
VERIZON MESSAGES PC App

I have downloaded the Message+ application for 64 Bit Windows 7. It's a wonderful idea and I think it's just great. Unfortunately, its performance is inconsistent, the interface is not intuitive, certain features are difficult to use, certain obvious features are missing and there is no integrated help facility. I have elaborated on some of them, below. Be aware that I have not had this program for very long, so there may be answers and explanations that I am not aware of. And I might simply be wrong.
Performance is inconsistent:
Messages which appear on your phone will either immediately appear on your Message+ window (which is wonderful) or they will never appear, ever. Even waiting for hours doesn't get them. Exiting and running the application won't get them--they simply don't show up.
The program sometimes hangs for no readily apparent reason, thus hanging every single window associated with it. Once this happens, this is a solid hang. The program will simply not process any more windows messages at all. Since it will not handle a WM_CLOSE, you can not kill it from the task bar, you'll just get a beep. You must use the Windows Task Manager to do it. Once you have killed it, it will steadily hang more frequently.
Message+ can get into such a state that it will no longer start, no matter what you do. You can look at your processes, see that it is not there, but trying to run it give you a brief blink and nothing happens. A full reboot may fix this, but I do not know because I have not performed one. I think that is just too drastic and I simply have too much other stuff going on.
Once performance starts to degrade, it does so rapidly. Message+ will simply stop receiving ALL SMS messages with no indication why. There is no obvious way to reset this.
Attempting to fix the application by choosing Repair from the installation program (which is not documented anywhere) produces mixed results. The repair process takes an extremely long time and the progress bar barely moves making one think that the repair has hung. It is an exercise for the truly patient (or desperate). This will fix the program enough so that it will start again, but performance will be poor and hangs will become more frequent.
A repair inconsistently leaves messages around. One contact may still have messages while another has them all deleted. There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
Once you stop receiving messages, you do so forever. Even a repair doesn't fix the problem.
Close buttons [X] do not consistently work. Sometimes you got to click them a few times.
The interface is not intuitive:
On just about any GUI that you've ever heard of, available buttons or hot spots are highlighted in some way. The Message+ application does not follow this paradigm; the entire interface is flat and there is no indication of what you can click on unless you directly click on it.
It is not clear what a button does until you click on it. Some of the symbols are not obvious nor are they documented in any readily access place.
Icons can bring up windows which are either docked to the main window or separate with no readily apparent design.
Windows are launched with either a double or single click, which is startling and inconsistent. There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
You can do different things based on whether you are in edit mode or not, but it is not described anywhere how to do this and it is not obvious how to get out of it while you are in it. You've got to hunt around and experiment.
It is confusing to figure out what phone number to synchronize with. I installed the program only three days ago and now I have completely forgotten how to do this.
Certain features are difficult to use:
Trying to get at the text of a message is tortuous. You've got find very tiny dim icons which may or may not be there. Sometimes you'll manage to get a pop up with a right click, but all the options will be greyed out. There is no way to figure this out except by (laboriously) clicking on every part of every window at each stop to see what you can do.
You can only select a single message text at a time for certain things. If you want to get an entire thread, there is no way to do this. You can select multiple messages in edit mode, but the only available action is to delete all of them.
You can get per message info, which is great, but you have to do it on ever single message.
The scroll bar performance is poor. It is very difficult to determine where you are in a window, scrolling control is jerky, trying to move up a little bit at a time does not work.
Trying to find the program on the Verizon website to download it is not directly obvious. You can Google the web for messages, some of which have hard URL's that you can click on to get to the right place.
Certain obvious features are missing:
SMS messages contain valuable information and there is no way to save a message stream to file. This is lack of functionality is positively astounding. You've got to scroll through the message and take screen shots.
The arrow buttons do not consistently scroll window contents. They typically work, however.
Messages which are sent to a Jetpack (they have phone numbers) are not caught, which is puzzling.
You can not display message contents and information at the same time. This makes it doubly tedious to record information.
There is no undelete, roll back, restore or recover feature. Once you delete a message it's gone. Forever. Even undelete programs do not work because the delete is not apparently file based. You can hunt through the block list, but this can get tedious.
There is no way to back up or restore the entire database. Some of this material is critical.
There is no export function. You can not export to a .PDF to e-mail to somebody. You can not export to a .CSV for offline analysis.
Help:
There is no integrated help facility.. You can not pull up a window of descriptions of basic tasks.
There does not appear to be an online FAQ located in any obvious place.
It is difficult to Google for help online, you must always put Message+ in double quotes, "Message+" or you will get unexpected results.
There does not appear to be any large experienced user community on the Web yet. This support site is probably your only realistic chance of getting some useful information. Otherwise, there are many, many questions out there.
The Send Feedback Function does not work if you do not have an installed mail client on your desktop. If you are using a web based one, gmail for example, a browser window will start with the entire message stuffed into the URL bar. You've got to cut the text out of the URL and paste it into separate fields in your message. You've better off just simply sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Thus far, however, I have yet to receive a single response. Sometimes hitting the Submit button performs no function at all. The window simply stays up and nothing happens.
In summary, I think it's a great idea, but I simply don't think the User Interface engineering is all that thought out. The look and feel of an application of an application are absolutely critical to successfully exploiting the functionality. You should only deviate from (decades old) graphical interface paradigms when you really have something different to do. Message+ is performing basic functions, it doesn't need window glitz. Glitz for glitz's sake is just plain annoying and causes a needless learning curve. Further, Message+'s glitz is uninspiring and in some cases, downright confusing.
The flawed functionality, the stability, the data lose, the lack of obvious features and the near complete lack of documentation make me think that this is essentially an unfinished or alpha stage product and one would hope for improvements as new version roll out (if they ever do).
If anyone knows of any alternatives to Message+ that do what it does, I'd love to hear about it. However, I am only interested in capturing SMS messages, not sending any sort of e-mail or data.

Hi mujb,
Per my understanding you are using the report builder 3.0 to design the report and when you click the query designer button to execute the query you got the error message above, right?
I have tested on my local envornment and your issue can be caused by the user "SQLServer2014\Mubs" and "mujb-HP\mujb" haven't grant permission to the report server or the shared dataeource/dataset if you have used this.
I would like to confirm if you have assigned both the Item-Level and System-Level role of the user above to sucessfully access the report server, If you haven't grant any access to the above user and when you connect to the report server in the report builder,
you may got the error message:
More details information below for your reference:
Please execute the query in the microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to see if you have permission to execute the query.
If the query works fine in step1, please run the report builder as Administrator and if you are using the shared datasource/dataset the issue can be cause by the you haven't grant access the share datasource, Double click to open the Datasource
and click the "Test Connection" as below to test if it can connect successfully:
If the "Test Connection" failed, please click the shared datasource/dataset on Report Server to check if you have grant correct permission.

Is it true that java is an absolute failure in desktop apps?

Hi Everyone.
I'm a new java disciple.
However I have a question about java and desktop applications.
is it true that java is an absolute failure in desktop apps?
I read on this article on salon. Here are the key points in regards to efforts at building netscape, corel and office version of java.
http://www.salon.com/tech/col/garf/2001/01/08/bad_java/index.html
Remember back in October 1996 when Corel announced that it was creating Corel Office for Java? Corel promised us a complete rewrite of WordPerfect and other office applications, which would have supposedly allowed these new Java-based applications to run on any Java-compliant machine.
Office for Java was a failure. While the product is still in the Sun Java Solutions catalog and you can download the beta from a few archive sites on the Internet, the project was abandoned in August 1997. Download it for yourself and you'll find out why: It's buggy and sluggish. On my 700 MHz Pentium III, Office for Java brought memories of my old Macintosh Duo's ill-fated attempts to run the heavily bloated Microsoft Word 6. The program's speed, alas, was dreadful.
Netscape had similar problems when it attempted to rewrite large parts of Netscape Navigator into Java. Indeed, the damning article What Netscape Learned from Cross-Platform Software Development," explains how Netscape's engineers were sold on the language and started writing large chunks of Navigator into Java. Netscape was committed to delivering Navigator on nearly a dozen different platforms, so Java seemed like the perfect solution. But Netscape's engineers couldn't make the language perform as Sun had advertised: Java was simply too slow. Netscape's engineers tried writing their own Java implementation, thinking that they could build a version that was faster than Sun's, but even that didn't work. "By mid-1998, Netscape was not only deemphasizing Java, it was even planning to replace existing implementations with C and C++." In other words, Netscape was taking the new code that had been written in Java and was rewriting it in C and C++.
What may i ask do you java gurus have to say about to this to a new java disciple
Stephen

First & foremost, consider the source here. Anything the comes from salon.com gets red-flagged in my opinion.
I would disagree that Java is an "absolute failure" in the desktop app market. What you have to understand is that Java is just a tool, and just like anything else, you have to use the right tool for the job. What are you interesting in using it for? What, specifically do you mean by desktop apps?
Garfunkel's Corel Office example is somewhat flawed. (1) In 1997 Java as at version 1.0; Java has come a long way since then. (2) Do you think that any office suite has a realistic chance of being competative against MS Office? I don't, and I think that says more about the failure of Corel Office than the fact that is was implemented in Java.
IMHO, Java is a great tool for developing cross-platform applications with a GUI. Swing is pretty robust, easily extended and has a pretty extensive widget set. It is a little bloated, but that is the price to pay for it's other (good) qualities.
As far as performance goes, remember that a GUI need only seem fast. If you can kick off a long-running task in another thread and then immediately return control of the GUI to the user, your program will be more responsive and seem to perform faster.
My advice to you is to really evaluate why you're thinking about using Java. Java is a great tool, but it might not be the best tool for the task you have in mind.

Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
download error
download error. Please contact support.
(link) contact support
(link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
UPDATE
I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.
