Forums.ni.​com site designed for the mobile user

Isn't it time there was a mobile site designed for the mobile device user wanting to catch up on discussions. While you can view the site on mobile devices, navigating around can be quite a chore. With the normal site there is too much information on the screen at any one time and having to zoom in and scroll about from left to right to read a message is a bit of a headache.

"Mobile optimized" sites will probably soon be a thing of the past. They were made to avoid problems with ultra tiny screens and very slow connections (remember GPRS?).
A typical mobile device now runs on 3G or even 4D and the screens are sometimes 800x640 or higher.
My android G1 phone is over 2 years old, and I still typically prefer the full site. I'll probably upgrade in a few weeks and will at least double the screen resolution. I'll stick with the regular site.
(One problem is the placement of the new kudos gadgets. It is impossible to see them at the same time with the post author, thus creating significant confusion to figure out what belongs to where ... ).

  • Designing for the iPad 3 Questions

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently working on designing a digital magazine intended for the iPad 3.
    When I design my psd working files at 1536 x 2048px at 300 ppi and then place them in the indesign file they appear to be about half the size that I would think they should be. So I exported the page as a PDF from indesign and then opened it in photoshop. When opened it's dimensions were 5588 x 7453 px at 300 ppi. So I saved this and placed it back in indesign and it appears to fit correctly.
    This seems funny to me as it ends up being larger than a print publication. It ends up being around 21" x 29".
    I know I must be doing something wrong but if I could please get a little bit of help it would be great.
    I guess my basic question is how should I set my psd files up when designing for the iPad 3?
    Thanks!

    Hi Joe,
    It seems like you are having some trouble with your ppi settings. If you are going to be designing for the screen (e.g. iPad, web) you need to use 72ppi. It may seem a bit odd as the iPad's actual ppi is significantly higher than this, but thats just the way it is. If you change your settings to 72 ppi, everything should go back to normal.
    EDIT: Bob Bringhurst explains the difference between effective and actual ppis in this thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4319794#4319794

  • How will an external Hard drive designed for the macbook Pro work with my White Macbook?  My  white macbook has a Firewire 400 and the G-Tech HD has a 800 to 400 compatible cable for the firewire.

    I am asking this because I want the G-Tech Hard drive  says that it is designed for the macbook pro.  Yet, I want to back up faster with by using my firewire 400 which is not an option on the one designed for the white macbook that does not have a firewire (only a USB port.)  The G-Tech Hard drive comes with the 800 to 400 compatible cable and has 5400 RPM with 750 GB.  Also, I've heard that laptops with low battery (mine all the time)  won't have the power for a bus powered Hard drive (as in no ac plug in adaptor.)  Can I just plug in my laptop?  Any one know the answers from experience with this hard drive?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

    I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)   If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly  – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display   Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?   There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.  MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

  • A sleeve exclusively designed for the retina 15" macbook pro?

    I want to buy a sleeve for my 15" retina macbook pro, but i realize that there are a lot of sellers that advertise their prodcuts as "made for retina" but in reality they were made for the classic macbook pro, so they fit loose , baggy... can you recommend a good sleeve specifically designed for the 15" retina macbook pro? I would like one with a pocket for the charger, so far these two are my choices:
    Booq Mamba Sleeve 15 http://www.booqbags.com/us/sleeves/mamba-sleeve/MSL11-GRY
    Incase Neopreno Pro Sleeve http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA175ZM/A/incase-15-neoprene-pro-sleeve-for-ma cbook-pro-with-retina-display?fnode=50

    I am also looking for such a case. I find that since the Retina is smaller/thinner -- every case I try the laptop is swimming around inside. I also feel like the laptop itself is less bulky so I'd like a case that takes advantage of our ability to be more sleek and small while traveling.
    Have you had any luck finding a case?

  • Error occured while creating site collection for the first time in SP2013

    While creating a new site collection in SharePoint 2013, I need to do atleast 4 times " Go back to Site" begore it appears properly. Could you please let me know why this error is occuering while we create site collection for the first time.
    Is it aknown issue or due to RAM contraints.I am using 16 GB of RAM in Web tier.

    You can get by with 16 GB of RAM so I am guessing that is not the cause.  Although, you could verify your memory utilization during the process.  As long as you don't exceed 95% you should be fine.  Next time, I would instead look up the
    error in the ULS logs using the correlation id and see if you can get more details of what is causing the error.

    The device is locked to the carrier it was purchased through unless you specifically purchased it as unlocked directly from Apple.
    Only the carrier to whom it is locked can authorize it's unlocking.  To do so, the user much contact them to start the unlock process.

  • Need best Architecture design for the following scenario

    Hi Experts,
    I need best architecture design for the following scenario:
    Sender: Mail
    Receiver: if sender body contain u201DApproveu201D, then call SOAP adapter, If SOAP adapter execute successfully, then  send Mail(SOAP adapter executed successfully) and SMS .  So receiver is SOAP, Mail and SMS.
    My current approach issue:
    Three message mapping:
    Mapping1: mail to SOAP
    Mapping2: mail to Mail
    Mapping3: mail to SMS
    In interface determinant>u201DSelect all three operation mappingu201D> u201Cselect order at runtimeu201D.
    Issue in current approach: For me first SOAP adapter should complete successfully, after that only my Mail and SMS operation mapping should execute:
    But problem is before success of SOAP adapter engine, Mail and SMS mapping completed or integration engine executed.
    Note: There is possible to fail the SOAP request in adapter engine.
    Kindly help me --> u201CAm I going correct way or want to change the architectureu201D?
    Thanks for advance!!
    Regards, Kumar

    What do you mean by successful execution of soap call?  Are you talking about Successful response (happy flow) from the soap call instead of application error ? Then based on the response you want to decide sending mail and sms.  How big call is your soap ?  If your soap interface is very simple I can give the other possible way.
    Sender sends the message, use mapping  to read the content and then do soap call in the mapping itself and after seeing the soap response decide about two receivers (mail and SMS).  If your soap call is very simple one, you can go for it. Otherwise I would not recommend this. The reason is you loose some visibility regards to monitoring during soap call in the mapping.
    Other option is go for CCBPM.  Here you receive the message, use send step to soap interface which is sync step. Then after seeing the response create another block with fork steps each for two senders mail and sms. If response bad then dont proceed or execute the next block. Simply use exeception or control step to jump out from the block,

  • How to search in BI 7.1 query designer for the required key figures & chars

    Hi All,
         Can anyone plz tell me how to search in BI 7.1 query designer for the required key figures & characteristics. I have the query being built on a multiprovider which has many cubes.
    So, i have a huge list of key figures and characteristics. I am not able to search for the required one by the name or the technical name.
    How can we search and pick the required object from the enormous list of the Mutliprovider in the Bex Query Designer??
    Thanks

    There is not a search feature available. You have to do an educated guess under what dimension your infoobject could be and select.

  • How do I retrieve my password for the mobile hotspot on my phone?

    I have forgotten the password for the mobile hotspot on my Droid Bionic phone. How can I retrieve it or reset it?

    You should be able to view it in the mobile hotspot settings.  At least that's how my Nexus and Tbolt work.

  • E61 sync problem: 'Waiting for the mobile phone to...

    Setup: Nokia E61 Windows XP Pro w/Service Pack 2 PC Suite 6.80.53.3 Nokia supplied cable.
    The body of this has been essentially copied from two other people who've had the same problem. One's problem spontaneously disappeared while the other's was solved by removing the phone's battery for a minute. My problem was not solved by that and I throw it to the group for its collective wisdom.
    I have successfully synchronised my Outlook Contacts & Calendar for over a week. Now I can't. On selecting Synchronise Now in the Nokia PC Sync dialog, the blue & green bubbles continue to rotate and the message 'Connecting to E61'continues to flash for some 5 mins. The message then changes to 'Waiting for the mobile phone to send data'. This continues for approx. 3 mins, where upon synchronisation stops and the message Synchronisation Completed appears. However, 0 entries have been updated, despite several updates to contacts. Previously, having pressed the Synchronise Now button, synchronisation would take typically less than a minute and all updates would be transferred OK. I have tried everything I can think of. Included, completely de-pairing the phone from the PC, uninstalling PC Suite, installing again from scratch and re-establishing the connection. The other functions in PC Suite seem to be fine. For example, I can use the file manager to see what's on my phone. At the bottom of the PC Suite page it says that my phone is connected via USB. At the task bar at the bottom of the Windows screen it also shows everything OK. The icon there says"Nokia PC Suite Nokia E61 conected via USB". It's only when I press the synchronize button on PC Suite that the next screen pops up and says that it's trying to connect. Any suggestions to this vexing problem?

    try recreating the sync settings from PC Sync, select settings - create bew settings - and run through the wizard. then sync

  • Is the Lumia 1020 available for T-mobile users

    I currently have t-mobile for my provider but am very interested in the 1020 phone for business use, but it only seems to be available on AT&T.  Will this phone be available for T-mobile users soon?  and if not why?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks for the info.  It seems to me these companies would realize that they only kill their sales by limiting items to a particular carrier.  By the time this phone becomes available to everyone else there will be a newer, better one waiting to take its place... Whoever is in charge of marketing should be fired.. ha  but again thanks for the info... 

  • Please bring whatsapp to apple store for free please? It should be a great innovative for the apple users..

    Whatsapp is the useful messenger for all the mobile users in the recent years. So please try to put the whatsapp in your appstore as a free purchase. It would
    be a great increase in your products while you put this messaging software on your ios devices and on mac app store. 
    With regards,

    1. Apple is not here. This is a user to user forum.
    2. Apple has nothing to do with Whatsapp. Its up to the developers of the Apps to set the prices. If the Developers of Whatsapp want to charge for it, then Apple cannot stop them. However Whatsapp is free: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997?mt=8
    3. Whatever versions of an App are available also depends on the developers. And The Whatsapp developer have only released an iPhone version. No iPad or Mac versions yet.
    Perhaps you should direct this at the Developers on their support site.
