Folio versions...why can't we set them lower?

Hi there,
  Just wondering why, once having set the viewer version in your folio 'up' (say to 30) you can't lower it (say to 28). We can't be the only people that have momentarily lost track of the viewer versions of our apps, and found ourselves having to recreate folios using a lower version number?! It's so easy to increase the version number (with  no scary warning reminding you of the possible incompatibility)...
  Given advice I've received here (but haven't found in documentation) that there's 'no need' to set your folios to a version higher than v26 (is that correct?) I almost feel like this option should either not be available, or hidden away somewhere, if it really is impossible to give people the ability to downgrade as well as upgrade. Are the any plans to make this more flexible, or harder to mess up?
  Thanks,
Toby

Copied from other thread...
The default viewer version (which I think of as the "folio format") is v26. If you leave the default setting selected, you should not have any incompatibility problems because while the viewer version changes with each release, the folio format hasn't changed since v26. This is described in a couple different notes on this help page, but that's a lot of information to wade through.
Unfortunately, it's easy for people to get tripped up. When you see "viewer version" in the UI, it's reasonable to think that you're missing out on certain features if you select an older format instead of the newest one. At the same time, guidance from a number of different sources indicates that the viewer version needs to be equal to or smaller than the app version, or your users will be prompted to update their apps. Newer apps can always read older folios, but older apps cannot read newer folios.
It would be great if you could select a lower viewer version after you realize your mistake, but that would require more engineering effort than the team wants to spend. It's a similar issue with changing the article format. If you decide you want to switch an article from PNG to PDF, for example, you have to delete and re-create the article instead of changing the setting.

  • Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app?

    Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app? I can set two alerts per event on the iPhone version, but the iPad version doesn't show the option that pops up after entering a first alert on the iPhone.

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • What are these hidden drives in my root directory? Why can I not access them?

    Noticed two drives (?) in my root directory a week or so back that were never there before, one called net and one called home. Also have been getting anomalous folders appearing on the left of explorer as 'shared' folders/devices. Odd thing is I have no access to them (read only attribute, but even less than read only as I can't actually read any data on them) and they say they are zero bytes and created in 2001?! But the "date modified" date is always right up to date. So why can I not delete them? Anyone know what these are? Are they normal? See this picture http://oi62.tinypic.com/iyzyc1.jpg
    Would there be a way to use terminal to gain access or to dig a little deeper into what they are?

    Another odd thing is the network icon in my root directory (which is set to neighborhood) when I click 'get info' the lock button is greyed out, and the more info just hangs on the 'fetching' spinning wheel.
    Secondly I have a 'shared' device/server/folder(?) called Bthub4 on the left in explorer, right clicking 'get info' for that gives similar results with no access, or info. See pic below.
    http://i60.tinypic.com/15n99cp.png
    Trying to view the Bthub4 shared device/server/folder gives a prompt to enter a name and password "for the server 'bthub4'" No password (operating system, or wifi related) works, and the guest account fails to give me access to the server. Pic of prompt: http://i62.tinypic.com/ae5jjk.png
    Why server? Why do I not have access to any of these areas?
    Can anyone else verify if they have any of these things in their root directory?

  • Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

    Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

    The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
    Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Why can't i set up my ipad mail?

    Why can't i set up mail on ipad?

    This is different from not being able to set up the account.
    When you created the account, was access to the incoming mail server confirmed or was an error message provided?
    If the account was set up successfully, the email account provider may by having a problem with their incoming mail server.
    If not, try deleting and recreating the account.

  • Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

    Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

    If it "joined" my network is it extending the coverage of my wifi network ?
    Please review my previous answer in the post above......
    But, the Express does not  "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when it joins a network.  In other words, wireless devices cannot connect to the AirPort Express the way that you have it set up.
    If so can my Airport Extreme be set up to "join" my network and also extend the coverage of my network ?
    Again, please review my previous answer in the first reply above......
    The AirPort Extreme does not have this type of capability.
    If you have both an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express.....my suggestion....again, found above in a previous post.....
    It takes a minimum of two Apple routers to extend a signal using wireless.
    You could do this by connecting the AirPort Extreme to your cable router using a permanently installed Ethernet cable and then configuring the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network".
    Then add an AirPort Express in a location where it can pick up a strong wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme and configure the Express to "extend a wireless network".
    You would not use the wireless on your cable router at all, unless you wanted to reserve that network for guests or something similar.

  • Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options

    Why can't I set up POP/IMAP emails for my Muse website in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option 'use this service for email as well as hosting the website' under Advanced options.
    Is this due to my Hosting Plan? Appreciate any answers.

    Your site is a CCM site which is on a WebBasics plan (This plan does not provide hosted emails on Business Catalyst).
    If you want to create email addresses on this site, you would need to setup your email server elsewhere and configure the MX records on your site to point to that external mail server.
    If you want to use Business Catalyst's hosted email services you would need to use a WebBasics+ or higher siteplan. To upgrade your CCM free site, Access your site's admin area  -> Site Management -> Upgrade Now -> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency -> Add personal and credit card details -> Submit.
    Please refer this article about setting up email accounts on your BC site: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users
    For setting up records to point to external mail server, check out http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#!/site-settings/email-users/creating-inboxes- for-your-users
