Do not force tablet users to use the Desktop app before it is ready

Windows 10 is set to launch on July 29. Microsoft is discontinuing Modern Skype on July 7 thus creating the following inconveniences for Windows 8.1 tablet users connected with using the Desktop app: The Desktop app is blurry due to the DPI issuesThe app slides off the screen if the app is maximized and the user scrolls to the end of any listUsers need to use the desktop virtual keyboard which is subpar in numerous aspectsUsers who primarily use the Modern part of Windows 8.1 are forced to use the desktop environmentThere is no way to see any Skype notifications without going to the Desktop which, again, the tablet users don't do very often or don't do at all Every single one of the abovementioned issues isn't minor by any means. We'd understand your decision to make users move to a better app if it was indeed a better app. Please finish the proper Windows 10 integration first (or, at the very least, wait till Windows 10 is released) and then we, the tablet users, would gladly move to a truly better experience.

Thanks for listening. A) Lenovo ThinkPad 8 tablet - Windows 8.1 x64, 8" 1920x1200 screen mostly in portrait mode with 150% zoom for desktop, equipped with LTE mobile connection (that's why Skype connected standby mode support is essential). B) All issues with the desktop version on tablet have been summarized in the first post. I will repeat them again: true optimization for touch devices - I mostly use the chat window, so no menu nor taskbar visible on main (chat) window.fix basic bugs like erratic scrolling, the sliding off main window when scrolling and missing High DPI awareness supportconnected standby support, start screen and live tile notificationssmooth integration of onscreen keyboard, again Windows Store applications can do that onlyNo desktop application on Windows 8.1 can offer the same level of experience on tablets as the existing Modern Skype (Windows Store) one does. That's why the Windows Store applications have been introduced after all. So the easiest solution for both parties is to not kill the Modern Skype app as it continues to live on Windows RT devices. As for Windows 10 upgrade and getting a new Skype universal app (if any, in the future), it does not seem to be well optimized for tablets yet so it is better to stay with very good Windows 8.1 for a while.

I received an e mail to access my friends photo stream but I am not able it says to use the email app

my I mac is 2.93 Ghz intel core 7 8g capacity i received an invitation to see my friends photo stream and it says to use the email app i tried it just brings me back to the same page to use the email app any suggestions

You'll need iPhoto '11 (available in the Mac App Store) to view them in iPhoto on your Mac. When you install it, you'll be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and check Photos. Then when you subscribe to the shared stream you will find it in the iCloud section of iPhoto (see below).
Otherwise, you can ask the owner of the shared stream to enable the Public Website option and send you the link. This will give you a link to view them on the web from your browser.

I can't login from the desktop app - "Login error. Please contact the Admin."

1) Does anyone have the same problem as described below?
2) Does anyone know how to fix it?
When I try to "work online" from the desktop app, I get asked to log out of offline, then log into online. When I put in my username and password, it gives me the error "Login error. Please contact the Admin." I've clicked the link "Trouble logging in?" and followed instructions to reset my password, which I successfully reset to a new one. I still get the error.
I have a subscription to Adobe Story Plus and am working offline/online using the desktop app. I haven't logged in to sync my documents in about a month. My account is in good standing (paid 2 weeks ago according to my account transactions screen). I'm now trying to collaborate, so it's important that I be able to sync.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi Rohit,
Thanks for your response. I've resolved the problem myself, and you may be
interested to know how in case it happens again with another user - I
thought maybe it was a versioning discrepancy and I was right (I assume).
However, I couldn't update my desktop software (or I couldn't figure out
how to update it) until I rebooted my machine, then Story went into an
auto-update sequence.
After it updated, it logged in and sync'd just fine. Classic "help"
question where the answer basically was: reboot. I shouldn't tried that
before I posted!
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
John

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"? I want the users to type in a fillable form, but not save their edits on the original form. I want them to be able to save with a different file name.

You can't really force it, but you can encourage it... For example, you can set the file as read-only and add an instruction to do so before the file is saved using a script.

Can Apple not force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?!

Can Apple please NOT force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?
It is a horrific app.
It uses data to play the podcasts which, once downloaded should not reqiure wifi to play!
Fix it, otherwise stop forcing us to use it and allow us a choice!

They do. There's lots of podcasting apps in the store, and you can erase the podcasts app and go back to the old way of playing them with the music app. Biggest downside is that you can't download podcasts on the phone without the podcasts app, so either do it on your computer or download the app, get the podcasts and erase the app. There's a few topics on here on how to do this. Search is your friend.

Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.

I'm not able to create Java Cloud Service (Oracle Java Cloud - Virtual Image Services) for my newly created Oracle Database Cloud Service instance. It fails with
"Incorrect values entered
Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.
Verify that the user name and password are correct and the user name has SYSDBA privileges."
I'm using SYSTEM user and the password I used during Oracle Database Cloud Service instance creation. I've verified them with sqlplus and also by connecting remotely.
Java Cloud Service wizard doesn't allow me to proceed to instance creation.

Hi Alexander,
Maybe you'll find useful the document from Oracle docs specified bellow regarding Creating an Oracle Java Cloud Instance:

How to prevent a portal user from using the BEx Analyzer ?

Hi,
we have different type of users : most users may use the portal as well
as the analyzer ;
we have one special user with extended authorizations : this user
should use the portal , where he has a limited set of queries to run
with hardcoded filters ==> this user should not be able to use the
analyzer however, since he then would be able to call all other queries
by using the find function ;
how can we make sure this user cannot use the analyzer , using SAP
authorizations ?
best regards,
Erwin Van Giel.

Hi,
if I remove the complete S_RFC authorization for the user then the BEx Analyzer cannot connect anymore to the BW system, but neither can the user run reports from the portal : it needs the S_RFC with 'SYST'.
If I only remove the RRMX from the S_TCODE and from the S_RFC, it does not prevent the user from starting the BEx Analyzer and connecting to the BW system. It only stops the user if he would start the RRMX transaction from within an SAPGUI session.
Perhaps there should be a value in the S_RFC that allows connections from the portal but not from the BEx Analyzer .... ?
so not solved yet ....
best regards,
Erwin.

Apps that arbitrarily restrict which users may use the App, such as by location or carrier, may be rejected

Hello,
I have an inquiry, this section:
Apps that arbitrarily restrict which users may use the App, such as by location or carrier, may be rejected
We have an mBanking app to be built and the Bank is insisting on forcing a mandatory update when there is a need
and the user should be restricted from logging in in such case (as a security update or important bug fixes).
Does the above fit in what will be rejected? Will the application be rejected in such a case? if so are there any workarounds?
Thanks
nsawaya

No, no, and no.
Sorry, but this is Apple we’re talking about here.

Does someone please has a solution for me? People form Apple, are you reading this? It is annoying me.

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone? Can anyone help me?

Hi Jim,
We’ll be glad to help you.
Ecwid supports responsive layout, which means that the store pages can adapt to the visitor's screen width on the fly and keep the layout clean and nice. Your products and categories lists will be fit for any window's size, as Ecwid will calculate the most suitable number of products or categories in row automatically. In other words, Ecwid looks great on any mobile devices. You can check how your Ecwid store may look on smartphones and tablets, if you see your Starter Site (what it is).
However, if you want Ecwid reveals itself in all its glory, you should embed your Ecwid store into website, which also support responsive layout, because if the site doesn’t adapt to size screen, Ecwid is not able to determine how it should be changed since it’s just a part of the site.
We’ve checked your site and found that you used Adobe Muse for building your site. Using Adobe Muse, you can create alternate site layouts for web content to be displayed on desktop, smartphones, and tablets. Nonetheless, your site has a layout for desktops only, that’s why it looks the same on all devices. You can learn how to create those alternate layouts in Adobe Muse, by reading “Creating a Website for Mobile Devices” article.
I hope this helps! But if there are any questions, don’t hesitate to reach us out on Ecwid forums.

SOA EM down after password change - OracleSystemUser is not a valid user principal in the current security realm

Hello,
I've got a SOA Suite development environment set up and whilst trying to change the weblogic password using this tutorial a problem arose with my soa managed server.
Firstly I was unable to start the Managed SOA server due to mismatching passwords, and after I modified the boot.properties file, now I cant start the usermessagingserver and soa_infra applications due to the following error:
Error 1

I've checked both weblogic and OracleSystemUser users and their groups are (respectfully) Administrators and OracleSystemGroup.
I've searched for an answer to this problem and found this other support article but couldn't resolve the issue.
The weblogic server version is 10.3.2.0 and it's running on RedHat Linux.

@Sri_Sonti
In the Admin Console, I can see both users in the security realm with the following configs:
weblogic:
all atributes with the "value" column blank
groups: Administrators
OracleSystemUser
all atributes with the "value" column blank
groups: OracleSystemGroup
Also I have not found the system-jazn-data.xml file you mentioned. In that folder there's only a readme.txt file.
