Feature Request: In-App Time Keeping with Cloud Accounting Sync

Has Adobe ever considered adding In-App Time-Tracking to their applications?
I'm currently in the middle of catching up on my time-tracking. I'm two weeks behind… Don't judge me, you know you ALL do this . Anyway, I'm having a hard time remembering how much time I've accutately spent on certain tasks for certain clients. I usually go back into my emails to see who I was communicating with and what we were talking about, but that can only get me so far.
Then it occurred to me that there is no reason my Adobe applications couldn't track time for me. It would be a pretty easy thing to do. For example, while the application is open, it could clock both idle and active time and store that into a log. This could all happen in the background with very little CPU draw I suspect.
Active time could be determined by the app as—time spent in the app while the mouse or keyboard is being activated. If they aren't activated within 2 minutes or when the app is not being used, is in the background (i.e. User's browser, email, or other app is in-use instead), that's logged as idle-time. Idle time obviously wouldn't have to show up in the log. Maybe just as sidebar information.
At the end of the week, if I could export that log from the CC dialogue in my Finder, I could very quickly determine how much time I spent working on specific files, in specific apps, and on what days. Guess work eliminated!
Even better, if I could connect this information to my FreshBooks account, I'd save a TON of time doing time entry.
THAT is a feature I would LOVE to see in the upcoming updates.

I agree that a desktop app or access to the bookstore via the Web is essential for the iBook store to grow. For example, every Friday, I read the New York Times Book Reviews. To see more reviews, user reactions, and the Kindle price, I check Amazon. Once I'm there, it's a lot easier to buy the Kindle version than to open iBooks and check its availability there. Also, I have 600+ Kindle books. If I inadvertently try to repurchase a book, Amazon warns me that I've already bought it. No such warning (naturally) if I buy a previously purchased Kindle book from the iBook store. But if I could open two browser windows, it would be easy to check for duplicates. I want the iBook store to succeed, but it's time for an upgrade and soon it may be too late.

Feature Request: TGA image previews in Creative Cloud Files

Feature Request: TGA image previews in Creative Cloud Files (app & web) when browsing files in web and iOS App

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:

Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Feature Request: Uninstall App

I don't see a way to uninstall a recently installed app, does this mean we just drag-n-drop?
I'm making a feature request for the ability to uninstall, or an explanation of how to uninstall otherwise.
<Edited by Host>

f you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Feature Request: Setting App page title to something other than "Eloqua 10"

Hello everyone,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As someone who has been using Eloqua for over 3 years, when working in the application, I will usually end up with upwards of half-a-dozen tabs open in Firefox, all of which say "Eloqua 10". Because of this, I'll usually try to strategically organize my tabs, but often times I end up having to click through multiple tabs to find the one I'm looking for, which can sometimes lead to Firefox freezing. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
So to alleviate this, I'd like to make the following feature request: Can we have the tabs/windows named by Asset Type & Asset Name? Perhaps in the following Format:
[Asset Type]: [Asset Name] - Eloqua 10
Note how I have "Eloqua 10" at the end of the string. An example of a title would be: "Campaigns: Nurture_Campaign_1 - Eloqua 10"
Could this please be implemented?
Thank you,
Sean

Here is a snippet of code that I wrote and use without any problem:
   public void ppPrint() {
      if (printJob==null) initPrintJob();
      try {
         if (!printJob.printDialog(aset)) return;
      } catch (Throwable e) {
   public void initPrintJob() {
      aset=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
      aset.add(new JobName("AOKabc",null));
      aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(.75f,.25f,7.5f,10.5f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));
      printJob=PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
/* locate a print service that can handle the request */
      PrintService[] services=PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
      if (services.length==0) System.out.println("Warning: No printer detected!");
      else {
         try {
            printJob.setPrintService(services[0]);
         } catch (Throwable pe) { }
      pageFormat=printJob.defaultPage();
      Paper paper=new Paper();
      paper.setImageableArea(54,18,540,756);
      pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
      printJob.setPrintable(Preview.this);
   };o)

Feature Request: Allow Apps to Access Apple ID User Address

This is a feature request for new iOS functionality
If iOS gave permission for apps to access the home or billing address a user has defined when setting up their Apple ID, then I believe the app can use this address to automatically set up the shipping of a purchased item for example. This would enable apps to sell physical goods, paid for by the user's Apple ID and set up for shipping to his Apple ID address, instantly.
I believe couriers already have SDKs that allow apps to programatically register the pickup and shipment of an item.
Users can then be able to manage their addresses in iOS/iCloud.

This will never happen because of the obvious security implications.

There are no apps in my Creative Cloud account.

I subscribed successfully this morning, and can log in to both adobe.com (where my Cloud subscription appears under recent orders) and to creative.adobe.com.
In the Cloud, under Apps, it prompts me to Try the various apps. I chose a few, downloaded and installed AAM succesfully, and I now have Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Fireworks installed locally. Still as trial versions. With the app open, I attempt to connect to my Creative Cloud account to license them. It logs me in then immediately prompts me for a serial number.
Not sure where this went wrong, but somehow my Creative Cloud account and adobe.com account are not synced to each other.
Thanks,

Hi Jeanne,
Based on your description is sounds like something on your system might be blocking access to activation server. It could be firewall or antivirus software. If its possible you might try turning these off temporarily and then going through the sign in process again. I'd also want to ensure you have all updates installed too, I'd probably start with that and then temporarily turn off your firewall or antivirus software and go through the "License This Software" process again. We have this document that goes through some related troubleshooting.

How can you remove apps from my i cloud account

How can you remove apps songs from i cloud account

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

Sending e-mail with cloud account.

I have been using Apples Mail program from many years with no problems. Have several different e-mail accounts.
No I can no longer send e-mails directely from the mail program but have to go to the WEB page in my browser. I still receive and read mails in the mailprogram, but e-mails sent from Web-pages do not show up in the "sent mailbox"
When I try to send an email with my @me.com or @mac.com I get the message that Cloud is "nedkopplad", have a Swedish version and it means not connected. Same is true when I try the alternative adress @ownit.nu get the message "nedkopplad".
I have checked my cloud account and it is paid.
The account information in mail for Cloud looks like this: [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11008728/cloud.jpg]LINK[/url]

In Mail's Accounts preference pane click on the iCloud account and use the - button at the bottom to delete the account.

Unfortunately, unless the app is available in the country where you reside or you move to a country where it is, you're out of luck.

Copy friend's app and authorize with my account?

For example.
i want to play Fifa14. I buy the Fifa but but not download it because my speed is very low.
My friend have Fifa14. Can i just copy his app and authorize the app with my account (since i have bought the app earlier)?

No. It needs to be downloaded when logged into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID.

Feature Request: Project Manager Trim Compatibility with all formats please!

It's 2013, Premiere Pro CC is out, and is more "Final Cut Pro" than ever (thanks Adobe), but there are still some basic things that need to be fixed. This is a DOOZY!...
With DSLR media being used pretty much everywhere, the inability to created trimmed projects using Project Manager for H.264 clips (and GoPro clips, and more!) is simply insane. Seriously?
Help me Adobe.... please...
thanks

Actually, Kevin works right across the San Francisco Bay from where I live. So yes, he is here in the USA.
You will occasionally get some answers around here from people with Indian names, but we are happy to have them on the forums.
The conversation about how to deal with the various codecs has been going on for some time, and the more people who request the feature, the more likely they will get it done. I don't like to say that the squeeky wheel gets the grease, but pretty much? It does!
I know they are thinking about it because of some of the comments I have seen and emails I have received. It appears to be fairly complicated, but personally, I think it is well worth the effort.
I would like to be able to ingest subclips from Prelude without transcoding (I don't use Prelude because it is useless to me without this feature). Once ingested, if I only use part of a clip, I want it trimmed in the Project Manager to just the footage I might need in the future if I have to make minor adjustments. And yes, that includes handles. So if handles solve part of the problem, that's fine.

IPad Feature Request -- Force App Close

I would like to request a feature for the iPad. I recently updated to OS 4.2.1 and love Multitasking, but sometimes I want to force an application to exit. I know you can switch to a different app from the one you want to close, bring up the multitasking tray, hold your finger on the app you want to close, then tap the read "-" symbol to force the application to close, but this process is cumbersome. You used to be able to hold down the Exit button for 4 seconds to force an application to quit. I would like this feature back! If I press the Exit button quickly, leave the application in the background and show it on the multitasking tray. If I hold the Exit button for 4 seconds, the iPad should force the app to close, return to the home screen, and NOT show it on the multitasking tray (a true force quit). Apple, please consider adding this feature back. It would really help with closing troublesome applications!
Thanks,
Francis Smith

We are just users like you so your post will do nothing.
You need to tell Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
You also might want to read up on how the multitasking works as you would realise that your request would not achieve anything useful.

Feature request : import/export .idea files with ITunes

I know that you wants to developp your own cloud system but a possibility to import or export idea files between the mac and the Ipad would be very usefull for me. Thanks

Yes Ma'am you are misunderstanding. In my case, because of a botched screen repare my ipad now has No wireless connectivity at all. The place that replaced the screen is over 70 miles away. Being as unlike Photoshop touch which has the option to sync projects through iTunes. I can not get the vectorized verzions of my Adobe Ideas projects off my device.
It really should be a simple update to the app. Which would be far cheaper for Adobe to implement, than me buying a new ipad. All my other apps that allow me to crreate content allow for itunes syncing of projects.
Then even if my ipad still had wireless connectivity some projects could easily be over the email size limit.
What would really be the ultimate answer to this issue would be on device syncing between Adobe Ideas and Photoshop touch. Just like can be done with Photoshop and Illustrator.
Adobe has to realise that the app market really is more profitable than their computer program market. Being as many many more people WILL pay the smaller price. Which opens up their market to way more customers. Add in the new ipad air's 64 bit architeture, and it's almost (almost not entirely) more advantagous to push the apps to full Adobe master collection status, and ability. It's almost a no brainer, being as it's much mich cheaper for anyone to get an ipad, a good palm canceling stylus and some apps. Than it is to buy a computer, a Cintiq, and Adobe master collection. Oh, but, if after going the cheaper route people got use to using and creating with the apps, they would be far more likely to then get all the more expensive counterparts. Though one has to see that by Wacom putting out their own tablets, the touch screen tablet market is the most cost effective and highest unit moving market.
