Do OSMF examples have to suck so much for FlashBuilder4 users?

I use FlashBuilder4 for development, bought it the first week it came out and I'm pretty happy with it (I'm sure Adobe is happy too).
But all the examples produced by the OSMF team seam to treat us like second class citizens. There's not an example that I didn't have to debug (takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours) just to get the damn thing to compile. What's up OSMF folks, are we not as cool as the pure AS guys or what?
Anyone here who has the same problem, please post here, and maybe we can get something going to produce samples that run out of the box for us.
When I have to spend 2 hours getting the project to compile, linking this and that, and all kinds of non-sense, by the time I have it running, my productivity has already dropped a lot and I completely lost my train of thought on the real project I was working on. That's a big problem. I'm guessing many of us FB4 users are having this problem.
Please post here if that's you, or is it just me?

Hi druderb,
YES, fixes are vital to get these samples usable out-of-the-box.
Two workarounds and one fyi:
-- Compiled samples for the latest build are maintained here:
http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/osmf/swf/ExamplePlayer.swf
-- On import into Flash Builder, for "Use a specific SDK:" select "Flex 3.5"
-- readme.txt. There is a readme.txt in the root of each sample directory.
What might the team be able to do as solutions?
-- build.bat/build.sh. Could the OSMF team please include a build script in the apps\samples directory? A similar build script once was included with the Flex SDKs in the Flex Builder days. If anyone has an FB3 (and I'm pretty sure FB2) configuration if you search your FB install directory, you will find a path such as the following:
Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.4.0\samples\explorer
In that directory are both a build.bat and build.sh. Basically the SDKs shipped with source for the Flex Component Explorer. To compile all of examples in the Flex Component Explorer, all any developer needed to do was run that one script. OSMF will really benefit from including for the apps\samples a build.bat and build.sh.
-- Release notes? Perhaps enhance the "Sample Applications" section in the release notes to include guidelines for fastest compile of all samples? Including instruction for directory structure? For instance part of the headache I keep having is having to reset the path to OSMF.swc.
BTW ... AWESOME NOW HAVING FLA FOR MANY SAMPLES!!! Thank you to the OSMF team for providing Flash Pro devs easier usability of some of the OSMF Samples.

WinXP with two users - can we have two separate iTunes, one for each user?

Question: On my Dell WinXPPro SP3 desktop with two users (myself and my wife), can each user have a separate iTunes - so what each of us does with iTunes has no effect on the other?
Details: Yesterday, June 29 2012, I bought a new iPad 3 with WiFi only, my first Apple product. My #1 motive for buying it is to copy movie files (avi, m4v, mp4, etc.) from my WinXP setup (PC plus hard drive) to my new iPad to watch the movies in bed on the new iPad. I understand that I shall need to install iTunes on both the iPad and the PC in order to move or copy the existing movies from the PC side to the iPad. (I also understand that I won't be able to use iCloud because iCloud will not run on WinXP, only Vista and Win7.) [By the way, if iTunes will NOT help me do what I want to do, please let me know. But that is not my question.]
I am only one of two users on the PC. My wife is the second user on the PC. She already installed iTunes on the PC for her own use. She is an avid iTunes user. Most of the time, she does not use this PC. She has her own WinXPPro SP3 Dell laptop, which is what she uses 99% of the time. She has also had an iPod for some time, hence her use of iTunes. And now, for the last two weeks, she also has a new iPhone 4S and her own iPad. So her use of iTunes will grow. The important point is the following - whatever I do on my side, I do not want to interfere with or disrupt her use of iTunes. Not even for a second.
So, can I install or re-install or somehow set up iTunes on MY user on the PC so that it does not in any way use or affect her iTunes? If the answer is "yes", please give me a step-by-step and list all details. Is there a YouTube that shows this specifically?
More details: Right now, in C:\Program Files, before I have tried to install anything myself, there are already folders for Apple Software Update, iPod and iTunes, which derive from my wife's installations of these Apple programs some time ago. I have just now run the Apple Software Updater, which first updated itself on this PC to version 2.1.3.127 and then updated her iTunes on this PC to version 10.6.3.25. (As a result, the following processes/services are now running, which normally don't run when I am the user:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
Also, the following processes will launch the next time I reboot this PC (which normally don't launch when I am the user):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\APSDaemon.exe
C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe )
My wife says her iTunes is NOT set for Family Share. (That sounds correct to me, for now and forever.)
Summary: So, how do I install iTunes for myself (for the first time) for my user on this PC so it does not - even for a second - interfere or affect my wife's use of her iTunes on all of her devices?
Thanks !!!

Mr. Wiclee - thanks for the link.
When I said I had not "installed" iTunes on my iPad, I suppose I meant I have not yet signed in to iTunes, ever. I suppose when I sign in to iTunes the first time on my new iPad, I will be required to create a new iTunes account? Then refer to such new iTunes account when I launch iTunes for the first time on my PC as myself? Or will I still need to use Method Three in your link?
The crucial thing is this - when I turn on iTunes on the PC for the first time with me as User, I do NOT want it to connect to my wife's iTunes account. On my PC, I would want iTunes to ask me who I am, so I can then sign in with my new iTunes account that I had just created on my iPad. How can I be sure to accomplish this goal?
In my PC, if I look at Documents and Settings and compare the two folders for we two different users, one for me and one for my wife, I can see that my wife's has Application Data and Local Settings for her various Apple programs. However, so do I in my User even though I have not yet installed any Apple programs on my side. I am concerned that when I finall launch iTunes when I am user, it will open up in my wife's iTunes account, which I truly want to avoid.
Thanks. Please advise.

FCE 4 - too much for average user?

I am an average home movie user with a Sony HD miniDV camera and was wondering if FCE would be "too much"? I don't have any experience using FCE so I wasn't sure if I would gain much over iMovie or if it would be too complicated. I have some experience with iMovie but have not been heavy into editing but with a new baby, I plan to do a lot more in the future. Thanks for the help!

Judging by what you say I would think iMovie (versions 2 to 6 - NOT 08) would suit you.
iMovie is quite an advanced editor, can produce high quality videos and has the merit of being dead easy to use.
Furthermore, with a new baby you will have neither the spare cash to buy FCE 4 nor the spare time to learn how to use it !

Firefox seems to be prompting me w/ potential email address when i have to put in one for a user name, i don't know how to delete those and stop it...thanks for the help

Every time a box pops up in any kind of site where I have to fill in a user name or password, Firefox tries to prompt me w/ old email address and emails. I don't want that to happen and don't want those email shown...how do I delete those and keep that from happening?

Hi Irene,
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install. 
Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
1) Reset Prefs
*Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
*Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
*Search for trovi and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
*Firefox 29 and above:(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
*Firefox 28 and below:[[Image:Firefox Button]]> Add-ons > Extensions)
4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

Is there a way to create a new user template so I don't I have to set each policy for new users in control panel?

hi,
I want conferencing, mobility, remote access, etc., to be automatically set to a defined policy so when I create a user, I don't have to go down the list to change the default from automatic to my custom policy. I don't want to edit the global
polices.
thanks,
rudif

Agree with Georg, you can do that using Powershell

Time Machine is proof that "software doesn't have to suck".

Last Saturday, the hard disk on my iMac crapped out. I was in a major panic, since even though I have a Time Machine drive, my many years of experience lead me to believe that I was still in trouble, and that at best, it would be a lot of work to recover.
So yesterday, Apple Care sent someone to my house (to my HOUSE!) to replace the disk, which took about 45 minutes. Fired up the iMac, and after formatting the new disk, clicked on "Restore from Backup".
Two hours later, my iMac was completely restored! I didn't even have to change so much as a user preference. Nothing was missing, nothing needed to be reinstalled. The only thing I had to do was re-authorize with iTunes, but otherwise, I was completely back in business.
With other operating systems, I would have spent weeks reinstalling apps, reworking configurations, reinstalling security patches, and trying to figure out how to import my backup data into the reinstalled apps.
Apple got it right with Time Machine.

It's never a question of IF, just WHEN a mechanical device like a hard drive will fail. Smart people have multiple backup strategies to protect their important data. Not bragging but I now have a spreadsheet file that was created in 1982 with Visicalc on an Apple II+ that is happily living on my Intel iMac and opens with Numbers just fine (after many conversions, of course). In those 27 years I have experienced a number of hardware failures, including hard disk failures, RAM failures, etc. But I have multiple backups of that file (and Quicken data files too) that are never more than a couple of hours old, stored locally and in the "cloud". Older backups are stored off site. Same goes for iTunes library, iPhoto library.
If it's important to you, back it up. There's absolutely no excuse.

Why do I have to guess how much data I might use in a month when I select a plan?

When I sign up for water service, I don't guess that I might use 1,000 gallons a month, and then pay three times the going rate for water if I take a few extra showers. I get charged for how much water I use that month.
When I sign up for electricity service, I don't guess that I might use some set number of kilowatt hours, and then pay three times the going rate if we have a heat wave and I run my air conditioner for a few extra hours.
Why do I have to guess how much data I might use, and then spend three times the going rate if I stay up watching youtube videos for a few extra nights?
It is stressful to have to constantly monitor usage, and figure out ratios of how much I've used compared to how much time is left in the billing cycle to see if I need to curb my usage. It is not a good customer experience. I would prefer that data be charged a flat rate based on actual usage, perhaps with an option to throttle speeds at certain levels to prevent cases where a minor lapse in judgment could ruin my monthly budget, like forgetting to check data usage religiously on a device meant to simplify my life.
Thank you for your consideration.

Simple answer is Verizon is offering a block of data for usage.
Where I live the water bill states my wife and I are being charged for 30,000 gallons per quarter/half and the price is say $60 however we never use any where near that amount. I send the meter reading in and it shows the amount we use. But the hamlet we are in has a set amount of gallons. Not fair but we live with it.
For your data outside of the unlimited which is not available any more to new customers you may be a light user and never go over the 2GB for $30 dollars a month. If you do you will pay through the nose for data. If you pay for more data say 4GB and I don't have the price for it so lets say its $70 then you don't have to watch as much for overage fees. But you are paying for the data in advance so as not go over and get hit with whopping fees.
It is just the way it is.

How to have a unique requestId for a Page for multiple users

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to get a unique RequestId whenever a page is visited. I need to have a unique RequestId generated for each user if they are on some specific
page. Whenever a users refreshes a page or come to the page by clicking back button want to have a unique requestId always.
Can I use sessionRequestId or something for HttpServletRequestObject that always gives me a unique Id.
Thanks

Unique for how long?
Eternally unique ?
unique until the server restarts?
Most simplistic approach would be to have a static/singleton counter. It wouldn't work perfectly in high volume sites, but should work well enough for smaller ones. Including a timestamp in the key makes it fairly unique.
This would handle both initial requests and refreshes of the page.
There is nothing you can do about users hitting the back button. If the page gets served from the client cache, the server knows nothing about it, and can not issue a unique id.
Why the requirement? What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?

Fast user switching menu - how do I have icons for all users?

I'm setting up a new computer for three users. I have enabled the fast user switching menu. I set the menu to 'Icon'. However, it only shows the icon for myself, the admin. For the other two accounts, when they log in it remains as their (rather long) real names. The same thing happens if I select 'Account Name': it only shows the 'Account Name' for myself. When I switch to the other users, it is still their real name.
How can I have icons (or account names) for ALL users??

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Hi there. I just bought a new iMac. Used to have a pc. Plugged my nano into iMac and it transferred my purchases fine. Bought a new album on i tunes and it will not download to my nano. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated. Thanks.

You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there.
To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab. For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod. That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod. On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac. I still can't get my contacts to open

Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.
I still can't get my contacts to open in Numbers like they used to do. I have a group of five addresses in a test folder in Mail called "untitled group." But no amount of pasting, dragging, etc can get them to open up in Numbers. My "real" folder has almost 100 addresses so I can't do it one by one.
Thoughts?
Thanks again.
Bob

Bob,
You can place contacts in a table In Numbers by the following methods:
Numbers 2.3:
drag from contacts
Numbers 3.2
copy from contacts, then paste into Numbers
In both cases you need to open System preferences, then select the "Security & Privacy panel and allow Numbers aaccess your contacts information.

I have created a book in Photo Essay that is extra large (10 by 13") and I just realized that I want a 8 1/2"by 11" book. Can I transfer all the pages to the smaller sized book. If so, how? Thanks so much for your help.

I have created an extra large (10"-13") Photo Essay style iBook in Aperture and just realized that all my other iBooks are 8.5"-11". How can I transfer all the formatted pages to the smaller book size without having to start over? Thanks so much for your help.
Apple Phan

Apple Phan,
that will require some extra work. If you change the book size, some of your edits will probably be lost, because texts and photos that will not fit the smaller layout will be removed. The best you can do will be to save your current book, so you can compare. Try the following:
Create a PDF preview of the current version of the book and save the PDF, see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Duplicate the book: File > Duplicate
Then change the Book Sizeof the copy (from the Theme Button) and compare, what is missing, hopefully not to much.

So I am trying to copy my hard drive "Macintosh HD" to an external hard drive, i want to use Terminal and have tried many ways. For example cp -r /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" /Volumes/"NO NAME". When i do it says No such file or directory. Ideas?

The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem!

I'm having the same problem. Dreamweaver is supper slow. Uploading and downloads from the server... any server I use two different servers. It times out all the time. Menus are slow too.
I'm on a MAC Pro, 6 gigs of ram no issues with anything else. I have talked to Apple they have checked everything for me. They say it's Dreamweaver. I've noticed the Dreamweaver is talking to the FTP even when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried cleaning out my MAC caches, turning off file check and check out. Still really slow. I've worked with Dreamweaver for 6 years never any issues like this before. 18 seconds to upload a 4 kb file. 11 seconds to download the same file.
