Folio Builder-Gone Haywire

I'm Having a problem moving articles around. I'll move an articles positions and it will scramble all of them. It does it in Indesign, and Dashboard (list and Article views). Please advise.

We are having the same problem. We have numbered each folder as we created content so that we could reorder folios easily. But since we passed 99 articles/folios, as the OP says it has gone HAYWIRE. When we import a new folio it appears at the bottom of the sequence but when we drag it to the correct position it (often) throws everything out of sequence. It makes no difference if the ordering is done in Folio Builder or the Dashboard.
This is becoming a huge problem, we are now up to 127 articles/folios. IS THIS A BUG?

CS5 Folio Builder Panel Update - Panel Gone

I just updated the Folio Builder Panel for CS5 on Mac to the latest version (Jan 26, 2012) and when I run InDesign, the Folio Builder Panel is no longer there. Also, the CSLive panel gives me an "internal error" message. I installed the updates on my PC for CS 5.5 and it all seems to work. However, I need to work in CS5 for this particular project. Is this a known issue? How do I remedy the situation? In case it matters, I also updated the Folio Producer Tools (Jan 17, 2012), as well.

So, I ended up getting everything ironed out, though it took a couple of hours of trying various things. Essentially, the Folio Builder Panel was installed, however Indesign was not seeing it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign, but that didn't remove the Folio Builder Panel, and did not "refresh" it to become visible.
Ultimately, I had to go throught the app folders and manually uninstall the extension. After reinstalling, the panel showed up. However a new problem emerged. Indesign was trying to login to my account but just spinning and nothing was happening. I could not cancel the "sign in" attempt. Finally, this was resolved by opening key chain and deleting the Adobe entry from there which allowed me to reenter my credentials.
Whew. Thank goodness that's over. (until the next update, that is).
Hopefully, this can save others some time who may run into this. Seems like it was a bit of a fluke.

Animation will not work on when previewing in Folio builder

I have created a simple animation in Edge Animate, but when I place it in InDesign and preview it only displays the poster image. When clicked it fades to nothing.
This is the process I followed thus far:
Created shapes in illustrator and saved it as a SVG.
Imported SVG in Edge animate, made a simple animation of the shapes getting larger and made a poster snap
Gone to publish settings
Ticked Animate Deployment Package and saved in Target direectory .\publish\animate_package
In indesign placed the edge .oam file in
gone to the folio builder and gone to preview > preview on desktop

When preparing a demo we had a similar experience. We animated an SVG file from Illustrator in Edge Animate.
The preview looked fine in a Browser.
From InDesign, the placed OAM package would not play in the Desktop Content Viewer, did not play on a connected iPad and did not play when it was exported with the Folio Builder in the iPad Content Viewer.
I renamed the .oam file to .zip and unzipped it.
In the resulting folder you will find an Assets folder with an .html file.
I created a Web overlay in InDesign and selected the .html file from the Assets folder (and set the Autoplay checkbox)
The preview in the Desktop Content Viewer showed nothing, but the animation played on a directly connected iPad and when exported from the Folio Builder in the iPad Content Viewer.
I tried also to use the html export version from Edge Animate, but that does not work.
The animation needs 2 javascripts that are included in a folder "edge_includes" in the OAM file (and in the "Assets" folder), but that folder is missing and they are only referenced from the web in the exported html from Edge Animate and that does not seem to load in the folio.
So it can work with a little effort: unzip the .oam file and use the html from the Assets folder.
regards,
Ton

ITunes Gone Haywire: Playlists, Folders, Settings and more

Hello all. Man...I really need some sage advice in a bad way. I've been trying my best to conquer this major iTunes problem of mine, but ultimately, I have just not been able to find a working solution to fix it. Even my efforts at pinpointing the source of my troubles have been in vain. I've finally become exasperated enough that I decided I be better off trying my luck here. Any help would be very much appreciated.
THE PROBLEM(S): A couple months ago I was working on some music projects within iTunes, when something seemed to go awry, because it promptly started acting strangely, not like it normally did, and that's when I began to experience the problems. It had always run smoothly for me up until then, but it's been giving me major trouble ever since. Here's some of what's been going on:
Playlists gone haywire: My entire stable of folders and playlists has seemingly gone mad, doing all sorts of unfortunate and crazy things. I routinely get new waves of unwanted playlists and folders appearing in my library--some are exact duplicates of playlists and folders that already existed in my library, while others bear the same or similar titles, but are deformed in one way or another. Moreover, I'll often get a bunch of very old playlists reappear--ones that I had long since deleted from my library. Other times I will find that a whole bunch of the lists and folders have suddenly disappeared again, or sometimes their location will change. The worst of all is when, as happened a few times, I just completed a bunch of changes and modifications to the library's folders and playlists, or I was working on a music project in some lists, and then suddenly it all disappears into thin air a short time later (after a reboot of iTunes, for instance).
B) iTunes Library Files (itl, xml, genius, extras, and sentry): They refuse to nest in the main iTunes folder location they are supposed to reside in. Instead they insist on taking up residence in my Previous iTunes Libraries folder. I tried a few strategies I had come across here in the pages of the community, but none has worked to date.
C) Unstable Preference Settings: At least a few times I've logged on to iTunes to find that my usual settings and preferences have completely changed, causing problems. Sometimes it will change my iTunes Media folder location in Edit>Preferences>Advanced to another location (like to my Previous iTunes Libraries folder location), thus creating a new hierarchy of media folders therein. Also, my settings in View keep changing back and forth, my sources in Edit>Preferences>General had changed on me one time, and more.
MY CURRENT SETUP
-My PC: Dell Inc. Inspiron 580, Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition, Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
-iTunes 11.1.3.8
Library Size: 335 GB, 24,734 files, 13,056 folders
I'm an iTunes Match subscriber.
Current iTunes Media folder location via Edit>Preferences>Advanced tab: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media. Both "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are currently checked.
Current folder path
Titles iTunes has chosen for my library files it uses: iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Extras, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 Genius, iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.itl), iTunes Library 2013-10-25 (.xml), sentinel *See screen shot below.
Current location that iTunes uses for my library files (database .itl file, genius file, etc.) is: C:/Users/Dowgiert/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. The folder paths for these same files are: C:/Users/Dowgiert/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries.
-I also have an iPad 2, and a couple other iPods (classic and Nano). None of these currently has the iTunes library in the desired state (thus ruling out importing from them).
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
-Backed up my library with SyncToy 2.1 (x64)
-I downloaded iTunes Folder Watch, however it doesn't seem to work until I fix the location of my .xml file.
-I've tried countless other fixes, changes to my software and PC, etc., but I won't list them all here now. Feel free to ask me more.
WHAT I'VE NOTICED
-It seems like these unpleasant library changes are often more likely (but not always) to coincide with one of the following: an iTunes update; an iTunes Match update; a Genius update; an iTunes shutdown, followed by a later restart of the program.
Again, thank you so much for any help. I'm really stuck. I have all sorts of other information at the ready, so feel free to ask if you have questions.

Hello again Mr. TuringTest2! Continued thanks for your help sir! I've long suspected that iTunes Match was partly responsible for my troubles, by the way. Let me update you on what's going on.
New Steps I've Taken:
-After your last response, I did the readings (thanks!), and then began by turning off my iTunes Match. From reading the post you provided on resetting iTunes Match, I got the impression that my order of operations should go as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong):
1st) Disable iTunes Match. [Completed]
2nd) Clean up my library [Started, but not completed*]
3rd) Try the Shift+ start iTunes Match technique to try and successfully clear away any harmful entries that might be saved in my Apple iCloud/iMatch database. [Incomplete]
4th) Restart iTunes and turn iTunes Match back on. Determine if the problems continue. [Incomplete]
*UPDATE: STEP 2 INTERRUPTED
I began clearing, moving, and modifying the playlists and folders that were the unwanted end-products of my recent troubles. I was making good progress cleaning up: Went from 258 playlists (regular) down to 200, and from 67 folders and subfolders down to 27. I hadn't yet deleted any of my 56 smart playlists, but did place them all into one folder (to organize them for later cutting).
Then came the hiccup. I didn't know clicking the button seen below on my account page would automatically turn iTunes Match back on, but it did:
Match ran it's usual 3-step process, and in just a few moments, undid the almost all of the aforementioned progress I had made. Of course, as it seems want to do, it added back a whole bunch of trash playlists and folders.
I ran a couple of your scripts to assess the damage. They showed that just by this accidental restart of iTunes Match alone, my library ballooned from 200 reg playlists/56 smart lists/27 folders, all the way up to new totals of 264/64/47!
When I returned to the problem today, first thing I did was turn iTunes Match off again. This resulted in dropping the totals to 235/63/47. I found that odd, so I did some more testing--turning Match on and off, each time recording the results. Here's all the recorded results in total numbers of regular playlists, smart playlists, and folder counts after each change:
Off:     200/56/27
On:     264/64/47
Off:     235/63/47
On:     285/64/48
Off:     256/63/48
On:     306/64/49
Off:     277/63/49
I ran your PlaylistToFile script each time after I turned iTunes Match off (it wouldn't run when I had Match on for some reason) and made copies of the results. I wanted to be able to see the specific changes being made each time, and to try and determine which specific playlists and folders were acting up. I you think taking a look at these results would be useful, I've copied them into a shared google document you can access at the following link:
-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESzfCpcO14krXp5sTQdMke0CpFDF--gbwVxrGaNmbgw/ edit?usp=sharing
I also noticed that iTunes started creating more backups of my library's database files within the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. Here's an image of the new ones:
Also, it appears iTunes created new .itl and .xml files in my main iTunes folder (see below). Or at least that's what the "Date Created" info column says. What up with that? Also, I still have the Trash folder here that you told me to set up, and a couple new .tmp files have appeared. Here's how it looks:
What do you think I should do tt2? If I had completed the four steps (outlined at top) without accidentally turning on Match before I all four were completed, would that have fixed the problem? Should I do something different, or in a different order? I'm all ears. Thank you so much for all your help!
Eternally grateful,
Forest

Empty folio builder

I started my Folio Builder (today) and all the folio's I made are gone...:(
I have signed out en sigend in again, nothing.
On my iPad I see all the folio's I created before.
And when I add a new folio in my Folio Builder (the only one),
that folio will also been showed on my iPad.
Does anybody knows anything about the Adobe Server?
Could somebody hacked my folio Builder?

When you say they're on your ipad - have you downloaded them all? If you've downloaded them, and they've been deleted, they will still be there. If you haven't downloaded them, and they are available to be downloaded, that means they are still on the server under that account.
I haven't seen this behavior, and I would first suggest: ensuring that you are logged in with the correct account in Folio Builder, and if you are, contacting Adobe's support to investigate what happened to your folios.

Cant log into folio builder with in InDesign

I am logged into Adobe and the DPS site no problems but to log into it in the folio builder pannel in InDesign I get this message
Sign In has failed.
[svr.Unknown]
If i put in the wrong address then I get a messge that the iser ID and password dont match
What is the deal?

I have found a solution and I am posting it here because I had trouble finding it...
Originally I downloaded
AdobeDigitalPublishing-All.zip
and had all the correct ids but it did not work. I found a thread where someone suggested that the person go to another place here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html and download
Folio Producer tools for InDesign CS5
Folio Builder panel for InDesign CS5
once I did both of those I am now up and running.
When I downloaded All.zip I ran it and I had the folio panel but couldnt get on. Then when I downloaded the tools first it took away the folio builder panel from indesign but when I added the second one clearly named Folio Builder Panel logically my panel was back the only difference was now I could sign in instantly. I noticed my shortcut to the viewer that had installed automatically on my desktop was gone but it was still in my start menu.
It would seem the all.zip would have everything but it clearly didnt and it only had one setup.exe file and I ran it.
Hope this helps!

Why I can't use the Folio Builder panel on my Indesign 5.5?

When I launch the Folio Builder panel in my Indesign 5.5. There is a message that says "To start the digital publishing authoring process, please download the update for the Folio Producer components and relaunch your application." I have downloaded the "FolioProducerTools-CS55-1-9-1.zip", installed it and restarted my machine but when I launch the Folio Builder panel again and it has the same message so does anybody know what I have missed?
Thanks!

Thanks Bob for your super fast reply. Cheers!

Problem with login in Folio Builder after update to v26

After updating to v26 I can't sign in to Folio Builder. Whan I press «sign in» either in panel or in panel menu, nothing happens.
Help please!

You can try downgrading to downgrading to older version:
Mac: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dpsdesktoptools/mac/2.06.1/AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch -All.dmg
Windows: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dpsdesktoptools/win/2.06.1/AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch -All.zip
Update:
If you have cracked (Illegal) InDesign, I wouldn't work. If you don't know, if it is cracked, go to help section and look for Log In and Update buttons, when they are disabled. If they are, you have cracked (Illegal), you need to buy InDesign.

How do I view more pages in the Folio Builder ACV preview?

I created a folio with an article that has two orientations, but when previewing it only shows the first page. How do I view more pages in the Folio Builder ACV preview?

You are viewing some very, very old videos. May I suggest watching my lynda.com course?

All that out of the way, clicking preview should take you to the page you’re on but still give you the entire article. Use your mouse to swipe up or down.

ID no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder

I've run into an issue where InDesign CS6 no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder. It was working perfectly for weeks during my app build. Was able to conduct unit tests throughout build but for some reason InDesign no longer sees the iPad. When I connect the iPad to my macbook pro via usb, iTunes detects and recognizes it. I have all the recent software updates installed. I even reinstalled Adobe Viewer app. I make sure Adobe Viewer is running on my iPad and cable is connected. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Add all files in the path while creating folio file in Folio builder

Hello everyone.
I am using InDesign CS 5 and creating folio for iPad 2. My Folio builder was working fine till last week, but suddenly i see a change the way it behaves. When I update the files in Folio builder, it adds all the files in the path (not just the links in the file) including source PSD files and other related files which I have never used in the InDesign, making the folio file increase in size. Can someone please help me how to overcome this situation?
Thank a lot in advance.
I look forward for your solution.

Do you have an HTML file in there? If so, put it it (and its assets) in its own folder.

Can't sign in to Folio Builder - Urgent deadline

I keep getting the error message 'Sign in has failed [svr Unknown]'
I am using CS5.5. I originally installed V1.01. This didn't allow me to log in so I downloaded 1.13.2. - I can't install this because I don't have OS 10.6!!
I am operating OS 10.5.8 and cannot upgrade to 10.6 as my machine is an iMac circa 2006. OS10.6 is a system requirment for the latest version of Folio Builder it seems.
Please can someone get back to me urgently with a solution to getting my Folio Builder to work as I have created a publication that needs to be uploaded for iPad tonight!!!
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure you are out of luck if you are on OS 10.5 You can try installing the older version of the folio producer tools from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=4&platform=Macintosh, but that won't impact the version of folio builder panel that's installed. You have to have the latest version of the panel.
Note that we have never supported 10.5, although in past releases it did happen to work. The system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/tech-specs.html have always indicated 10.6 is the minimum.

No longer able to sign into Folio builder after updating

I just did the update to the Folio builder as indicated in this thread: Announcement (August 16) - Web Service Update
Now I cannot log into the Folio Builder, I amd shown the following message in the Folio Builder Panel:
You do not have a compatible Digital Publishing Plug-in. Click here to download the Folio producer tools.
Which I then did, but still doesn't work.
Please advise.

You ran the two Folio Producer updates to take DPS to version 1.1.1, yes?
