DropText: some edits do not 'stick'

Just started using DropText, as I am disappointed at being unable to perform simple editing of TXT files in DropBox. But I am immediately baffled because some files refuse to accept my changes! For example, I make a change to Contacts.txt, tap Save and Close, but if I open that again the change has not been made. Yet if I open Shopping.txt and do the same, the change is correctly made.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this please?

I already did, and had a prompt and helpful response. And parallel research of my own, subsequently discussed with the developer, has identified a likely cause and solution.
But this is a Discussion Forum, which implies exchanging information and ideas. It seemed possible to me that there might be other users of this application who could confirm similar or related behaviour and/or suggest causes. Or who might benefit from my experience. That's what happens in the dozen or so other forums of many types that I use regularly. Posting here and pursuing other avenues are not mutually exclusive!

SSRS 2012 some users are not able to edit reports in the server

Hello All,
I am install reporting services SharePoint native mode but some users are not able to edit reports on server error is "Application cannot be started contact your application vendor" but this users edit reports on their client machine
using report builder 3.0.
Please help me

Hi harshad_mule,
Because Report Builder in the Report Manager is a ClickOnce application, the error message means that one or more of the files listed in the application manifest cannot be found on the server, so the application cannot be started. Based on my research, frequently
this means that the application is somehow corrupted, or that the ClickOnce store is corrupted.
To fix this issue, we can try to refer to the following steps:
If Report Builder is corrupted, we can update the Reporting Services to repair this.
Check that the Report Builder application is existing
Open the Report Server folder. By default, the folder is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.<X>\Reporting Services\ReportServer\ReportBuilder
Make sure the file "ReportBuilder.application" is existing in the folder mentioned above.
If it is existing, please use the following URL to access the Report Builder directly:
http://<server>/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application
And this issue can also be caused by browser. Because not all report functionality is supported by all browsers in Reporting Services. So please use IE browser to start Report Builder to try it again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again.

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

Is it possible to make only some nodes of a tree editable but not others???

I am trying a simple java program in which I need only leaf nodes to be editable but not non-leaf nodes. So please if anyone has any idea of that then I need help.

You could write conditionals because getTreeCellEditorComponent() method of a TreeCellEditor should have boolean leaf argument.

PSE 9 Preferences:Saving Files will not stick

MacOSX 10.6, Photoshop Elements 9 - I have tried (lots of times) to set the Append File Extension: preference to Always and to check Use Lower Case. It will not stick. The next time I go into Preferences it is back to Never and the check box is unchecked. My other preference changes all seem to be saved correctly. Why does this one not save?

Let me start this with....in OS 9.2.2 I am able to delete files that are not needed from the system folder. For some odd reason when I try this in 10.3.9 it murders my system...needless to say I have printer extensions, scanner estensions,modem stuff and other not needed things living in there.
Recently I did nothing like that but also had to forcequit a program to only find that everything I opened ...might open once then it would tell me that there was an error---spit the number out---and the program would not open.
I had to do an install/archive then update to 10.3.9 again in order to gain the use of my computer and programs.
You may need to do the same thing...it is llike the cleam install of OS 9, where it replaces the system folder and stores your things into a "safe folder" to return when done. Some items may need to be manually moved and lke my printer/scanner, it needed to be reinstalled.
Insert the install cd and boot to it. Use the disk utility to repair the hd (go under the file menu I think), then choose the install and archive option (click the option button to find it). See if that helps.

Spaces not "sticking"

Not a big deal, but I noticed since SL that a couple of my programs are not sticking to their assigned "Space."
For example, both ICal and Mail are assigned to space one, but they keep going over to Space two. The assignments are still on Space One (and I am not moving them over manually).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

My experience with the problem being described in some of the posts is as follows:
Opening a Pages document from the Finder window (Pages is assigned to space 5. Finder window in this example is in space 1)
1. If Pages is not open - double-clicking the document will open Pages, move me to space 5, and display the document (as expected).
2. If Pages is open - double-clicking (alt-click Open With) the document will open the document in my current space (space 1 in this example) - not expected at all.
Another issue, even more odd/annoying:
This has to do with dialog windows. ex. PhotoShop (space 2), DreamWeaver (space 1). Attempting to change hexadecimal code in DreamWeaver file to match a PhotoShop color. Open the color picker in PhotoShop -> copy the hex-code (color picker still open) -> switch to space 1 via keyboard -> here's the strangeness.
Sometimes - clicking on the DreamWeaver document will send me back to space 2 automatically: at which point I cannot close/select the color picker window - unless I enter expose and come out of it - even then, sometimes clicking on the color picker results in flipping back to space 1 - at which point entering spaces view (where all spaces are visible) and selecting space 2 usually fixes the issue).
Other times - I can edit the DreamWeaver document just fine, but when I go back to PhotoShop I still have to enter expose and come out of it to close the color picker (see above).
Another example would be pasting things from eMail (space 4) into a web browser (space 1). If you're familiar with drop-in menus to login to a server which requires username and password (not a web form - but a dialog box) you might be able to try this yourself:
Opening the eMail from Mail. Select the desired text -> command+c -> keyboard shortcut (option+arrow up - for this example) -> navigate to website with dialog -> set username field active -> command+v -> option+arrow down (space 4) -> select new text -> command+c -> option+arrow up (space 1), dialog box is still open, make password field active -> automatically get shifted back to space 4.
Again, this is a bit more of a hassle (because I have dialog boxes open in a lot of programs and copy and paste between applications & spaces a lot), but the other issue would probably be easier to isolate and fix.

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

Data Sheet View - Cannot Connect to Server at This Time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available

After a couple of years of trouble free operation, one of the lists in our SharePoint Foundation site suddenly (overnight) started presenting the error against Datasheet views on lists.
The view returns a large number of items when working correctly c.6K - however Throttling Settings have been adjusted accordingly some time ago without detrimental affect on SharePoint users and network in general. As admin and therefore throttling at 20k
items the error message still presents.
The view was working fine at 4:30pm Wednesday 27/3, but was returning the error at 8:30am the next morning. To my knowledge very few items (if any) had been added to the list between those times and no system level changes had been made (SharePoint,
SQL Express, or virtual Windows 2008R2 server).
The problem is most apparent on 2 lists in SharePoint. I've checked that the settings within SharePoint admin are set to deal with queries that should accommodate the
number of rows that are returned by the views associated with that list. It is still possible to create new items to the list and access data via 'standard views' that are presented with groups that are collapsed.
Items in Documents Libraries on other parts of SharePoint and within the same subsite can be accessed at what feels like pretty normal speed -though small query size
may mean the problem is masked to a large extent.
More Specific
The lists still open in Standard View -though much more slowly than was the case before the above error started to present.
List Details
Referrals Tracker (10,442 items) -the list was 10,420 something items on Wednesday when all was working fine.
LD Tracker (4,390 items)
Both lists have grown incrementally over the period of a couple of years rather than by adding a block of data to the list. Items are added/ updated one at a time using the associated
form or directly into cells within a datasheet view.
That it is also experienced against the smaller list suggests to me that the number of items in the Referrals Tracker is not the main factor here.
In attempting to resolve the issue I have managed to get datasheet views working that deliver 100 items and c2k items. Both views present much more slowly than we would normally expect.
Throttling Settings
List view limit - 12K items - has been this high for some time without damaging SharePoint performance across the company.
Actions Taken So Far (no improved performance seen)
The SharePoint Foundation WSS Content DB did was closer to the 10GB SQL Express limit earlier this month, however a clear down and rationalisation of versioning settings
was undertaken to ensure that did not become a problem going forward.
We did a Shrink on Thursday (the day the issue started presenting) to rationalise whitespace as all indicators were that this was where the problem may lie, but this has
not resolved the problem.
The WSS Content DB now sits at c5.5GB.
What I Need to Know
1) I'd like to understand what is causing the problem?
2) What the fix is? or,
3) How I might go about diagnosing the problem further to arrive at a fix.
With all the above, I'm part wondering if the problem is related to the virtual server or poss SQL Express related rather than being a 100% SharePoint issue?

Hi
afearn,
More often this is related to columns which are not editable by user, some columns are not editable in datasheet view. Please check if there is any new column addition and then you started getting this issue.
Also datasheet view displays all items on same page so definitely it takes little long time then load in standard view.
Let us know your results, thanks

Album Art - some albums will not allow art to be added manually - help?

I've searched the archive for an answer to this, but haven't found a solution.
I'm importing many of my CD's into iTunes, some of which I have to add the album art manually. For the most part this works just fine, as I go to "Info," and drag the art into the art window.
But here's the problem - there are some albums that just WILL NOT display the art. I drag the art to the window, and it appears there, but does not "stick." When you play another song, then go back to the previous, the artwork is gone again.
I've tried adding the art in every way I know how: drag to the window that says "drag artwork here" in the main window; going to "get info" then "artwork" and dragging the art into that window; and also clicking the "add" button and navigating to the stored art file...the result is always the same - the art doesn't stick. This is only for some albums; the majority work just fine.
I've cleared the album art cache, with no change, and have also set the ID3 tag to "none" for the problematic albums (based on a suggestion in another posting). Both of these had no effect on the results - the art still won't stick.
I'm at wit's end - anyone have a suggestion??

Manual syncing seems a very inefficient method to use - it my experience its much easier to associate one or more playlists with your iDevice and then automatically sync to that. Doing it this way allows you to set up what you want to sync without the iDevice being connected, and also allows you to manage what gets synced completely, since you can remove albums from the playlist so that they're automatically deleted from your iDevice next time you sync.

View in edit window not getting updatet properly

Hello
I have some problems with the view in the edit window not getting updatet correctly. I noticed this in spectral view. For example, when I zoom in very much, so I only see about 3 seconds of audio and then select one second of audio and do a time stretch, so it will be two seconds of length, the windows does not update properly.
Normally the audio behind the strechted selection should move backwards, but often the strechted portion just sort of overlaps it and it doesn't move. When I zoom out and then back in, it seems to be ok.
I also have had very weird behavior when trying to remove clicks, with the view also getting pretty messed up.
Does anyone have similar problems with the view not getting updated properly?
I am running german windows xp, audition is installed in english. I first thought that installing it in english instead of german solves the problems, but unfortunately it didn't.
Greetings

Hello again
I made a movie of this behavior:

It shouldn't look like that, right?

Some photos will not sync from iPhoto to iPad

I could REALLY use some help. For starters, here is what I am working with:
iPad3, 64 Gigs, 32 gigs free, up to date iOS
Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.3 and iPhoto 9.4.2
The main problem is that some photos can not be synced to my iPad. I have done this for years using iTunes. When I am in iTunes, I can see the albums where the photos are supposed to be. But often, the number of photos in the folder is listed as zero. Other times, the number is less than the number that is actually in the folder on my Mac. Syncing or Applying does not find and move the seemingly invisible pictures.The photos on my Mac are in JPEG format, and can be seen and emailed and edited, etc. on my Mac. I just cant get my iPad to see them and sync them. To say the least, this is problematic, I use my iPad show my craftwork photos to clients, and I can't get some newer photos put on the beautiful handheld iPad.More (potential) pieces of the puzzle:
the issues seem more frequent with new photos. Old albums seem stable and transferable
I have done some things like clearing ALL photos off my iPad, restarting it, then moving the albums back on to the iPad using iTunes. Didn't help
iPhoto on my Mac does sometimes exhibit some crankiness. It tends to crash if I choose Info on any photo. Sometimes it loses photos I have imported. Sometimes it duplicates some photos in a folder.
I have tried restarting my Mac, have done disk diagnostics, have zapped PRAM, repaired permissions.... all sorts of things like that
A few weeks ago, I backed up my iPhoto library to another drive, then run a couple of the options in the Rebuild iPhoto Library menu. None of that helped.
I think there may have been a few other anomolies in the last few months, but the ones above are the things I can remember
Any help would be super kind of you. I am a Mac user since the very original 128k 1984 Mac. And I have figured out a lot of minor problems in all those years. This one seems so mysterious and intractable. And is really putting a kink in my use of the iPad.
Thanks in advance, Peter

didn't try the reboot but when I took my first picture wit the iphone camera then all photos showed up in 'photos' album along with 'camera roll'

Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152

Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
Safari 5.1
Firefox 6.0.2
I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?

I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
Here is the complete code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
if (useDeviceFont) {
          var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
          format.font = "_sans";
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.1

I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player.

3. Open the Finder.
4. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user¹s home folder).
5. Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats.
6. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder
on your desktop). Ensure
you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same
folder as in Step 5.
8. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
