I'm not quite following. I have the app created and ready in iTunes Connect--it is a "multi-folio with iTunes subscription" and is enabled for Newsstand. The free subscription product ID in App Builder matches the Apple ID in iTunes Connect.
We wish to launch the app with an older issue (folio) and we'll publish the current issue in the coming days. All of the issues that will be available in this app will be free. And we would obviously like the users to be notified when a new issue is available.
Do I not need an in-app purchase for this older issue--the one that will be available immediately? As I have it now, in iTunes Connect, I click on the "manage in-app purchases" and I have this first, older issue that is ready to submit. And in the "manage newsstand" section I don't have any issues.
Is this correct?

    If this is an Alienware system, the most likely culprit is the Bigfoot Networks LSP as per the following document:

  • How do I transfer a free music app with music on it to another iphone with different icloud accounts

    My friend gave me his old iphone with a free music app on it and it had some music on that app well I just got a iphone and was wandering how to get that music and app transferred to my iphone with the icloud accounts being different

    Stealing is NOT the only reason to want to transfer music and paid apps from one account to another. 
    The family has been using one itunes account to purchase music and apps.  This account was set up under my user name.  I gave my wife my old ipad and got the 3-kids new ipads.  I want to give all of the music and apps under my user name to my wife's new itunes account so the family can keep using them and I can have a separate account.  Even if I have to re-pay for the music and apps. 
    Is it possible?

  • Newsstand App with monthly issue and Single Edition

    We have an multi-issue app with iTunes subscriptions (retail) in the Newsstand. We are currently publishing monthly editions inside our app.
    Recently we also published a retail Special Issue using this multi-issue subscription app so that current subscribers would see this new Special Issue inside the viewer. This we like.
    We would now like to publish this same Special Issue as a single-edition app so that new and future users would "see" this inside the App Store.
    Can users download these two identical apps, meaning can they purchase this twice? Is there a way to prevent this "double purchase" thru DPS or App Builder or thru iTunes Connect?
    Tom

    As I understand it, each app is wholly independent with respect to entitlement. That is, you can't use a purchase in one app to determine entitlement inside another. Even so, you're talking about two different kinds of iTunes purchase: in-app versus app.

  • Free goods determination with Free of charge delivery

    Hello
    After maintaining the Free goods Determination Record for a material using VBN1, when I create the order with order type OR, the free goods gets determined, where as when I create the order with order type FD, the free goods does not get determined. Can somebody let me know the reason for this happening and the solution please
    Thanks in advance
    Anoop

    Hi
    Free goods can only be supported on a 1:1 ratio. This means that an order item can lead to a free goods item. Agreements in the following form are not supported: u2018With material 1, material 2 and material 3 are free of chargeu2018 or u2018If material 1 and material 2 are ordered at the same time, then material 3 is free of chargeu2018.
    Free goods are not supported in combinations with material structures (for example, product selection, BOM, variants with BOM explosion)
    Free goods are only supported for sales orders with document category C (for example, not quotations).
    Free goods are not supported for deliveries without reference to a sales order.
    Free goods cannot be used in make-to-order production, third-party order processing and scheduling agreements.
    If you defined a free goods for variants in a generic article (only SAP Retail), you can only process the variants in the purchase order and goods receipt individually (as single articles). In other words, you cannot process them using the generic article matrix.
    Moreover your doc type FD has sales doc category as I in VOV8 in standards
    Hence it is not working and wont work also
    These SAP library statements answers your qn and the constraints of free goods in R3
    As long as document category is not C in VOV8 for your order type you cant get free goods in sales order
    Regards

  • I want to create an iPad app with multiple issues of the same magazine inside it

    I want to create a digital magazine for iPad. I know with Digital Publishing Suite I can create apps for iPad.
    But there is a problem. Is not clear in the website if with the Single Edition I can create an app that contains all issues of the magazine, or if I have to create a new app for each issue of the magazine that I want to publish.
    Could you please get me out of doubt?
    Please, I need a quick answer. Thanks in advance!

    I received my new iPad Mini with retina display yesterday and was offered iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote as part of the setup process. 
    Unfortunately the download stopped after Pages was installed.
    Can anyone please advise how I can get the remaining Apps?  If I look for them in the App Store then they are only offered at a charge.

    That means your dad bought it with the Mac. All you have to do is exactly as I suggested before,
    ask your dad to allow you to take them from his account again.
    Simple as that! There is no need for you to have a hissy fit and call me names for trying to help you.

  • Wildly flickering pagesize with Scrollbar issues during Live View CS5.5

    DWCS5.5 keeps crashing on the system I am using on Windows 7 ultimate. The menu at the bottom of the preview pane (in split view) that allows you to select your page size keeps jumping back and forth rapidly and the scrollbar keeps "wiggling" like it can't make up it's mind. It completely locks up DW and I am forced to restart the app. It's happened about 10 times today alone, so I figure there is something wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? I will try to figure out the exact steps it takes to reproduce it, but I think it has something to do with resizing the preview pane manually.
    Before I spend too much time trying to resolve the issue, I figured I would ask. Meanwhile, I'll see what I can find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Empty Viewer on Test iPad for multi folio iTunes Free Subscription

    Hello,
    I'm trying to test a free subscription, multi folio newsstand app with renditions. However, the viewer opens without any folios - just the subscription tiles. I've triple checked the Apple product IDs, shared secrets and have all of the appropriate certificates. I'm at my wit's end! A few questions:
    Should free subscriptions folios be public/free or retail? I'm reading conflicting things.
    I'm a little unsure of the order in which I should publish folios in the folio producer. Should this step proceed or follow creating the .ipa for testing?
    Does this naming of the actual folios matter, as long as they are the same? I only need the same exact Product ID for iTunes Connect and the App Builder, correct?
    I've noticed that after you enter your shared secret there is a field to enter an iTunes url in the Admin Tool. Which url do we use? Do we enter this after the folio is public?
    Thanks!
    Darin

    Free subscriptions should be Public/Free, not Retail.
    It doesn't matter which order you publish the folios and create the .ipa for testing. When you publish the folios as Free and Public, they should appear in your testing app if (A) you specified the shared secret, (B) published the folios as Public/Free, (C) set up your renditions/folios correctly, and (D) specified the free subscription Product ID created in iTunes Connect in the DPS App Builder.
    When you set up renditions for a subscription app, the Folio Name, Product ID, and Publication Date values need to be the same for all renditions, and different for each set of renditions. Specify the Publication Date values by choosing from the calendar picker.
    Yes, the iTunes URL becomes available when you publish the app.

  • Can't activate the free subscription

    I uploaded my app last week on iTunes Connect. It's a newstand app, with free subscription for a movie magazine coming for free each week. But yesterday the app got rejected because when you tap the "subscribe" button, it does nothing.
    I went on DPS to add the shared secret number on the account administration tab and on dps app builder, i added the product id of the free subscription (a 9 digits number)
    But still nothing... I'm waiting for a answer from apple but it'"s gonna take some time. Also, i don't know why but the free subscription i created on iTunes connect is currently "Waiting for Review"
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks !

    So I installed the .ipa on my iPad. When I click on "subscribe" (for the free subscription), nothing happens, it keeps searching for something but nothing comes up. Appart from that, the app works, i can download my first issue, etc
    There's several product ID on iTunes Connect : one for the app itself, and one for the free subscription that i created in "manage in-app purchases"
    In this case, the ID is 634053188
    I pasted this number in the DPS app builder.
    Also, on digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, i pasted the shared secret in the account administration section...

  • Any benefit to free subscriptions outside of Newsstand?

    Situation: We have a client who will publish free folios to a free multi-viewer app. The client wants the app to live outside of Newsstand.
    What we know: Free folios show up in the app as soon as they're published. But, Apple offers the ability to configure free subscriptions.
    Our question: What's the benefit in configuring free subscription for non-Newsstand apps? Or, does Apple simply require free subscriptions for free-folio/free-multi-issue apps to live in Newsstand?
    Thanks, as always.
    Josh Penrod

    Apple created the Free Subscriptions option specifically to enable apps with free content to work in Newsstand. I see no benefit in setting up free subscriptions outside of Newsstand, and I don't even know if it's possible.

  • How can I distribute free Store apps to 500+ devices?

    I would like to install a set of commonly used free store apps on all devices before they are deployed. MDM clients, PDF readers, Business contact apps, etc.
    As it is I can deploy a backup of a device using the Apple Configurator - However I cannot deploy free store apps with this tool. I know how to deploy paid apps using a VPP but free apps do not have a VPP.
    Can I create a "master" apple ID and load apps this way?
    If so, will I run into the 10 device limit issue with this "master" account?
    Also, if a user then syncs with iTunes while logged into their personal account on their PC will it wipe the apps from the "master" account off of the device?
    I really just need a way to mass deploy free store apps. Thus far I have been installing web clip profiles with links to the apps in the app store to save a little time, but then every app still needs to be manually downloaded and manually installed.
    When I heard that iOS6 beta 3 was allowing fre app installs without an Apple ID I was extatic - but then it was cut from the final product.

    You should be able to install free apps (or paid apps) with Configurator. Here's how I've been doing it.
    First, go into iTunes and authorize with an Apple ID (iTunes -> Store -> Authroize this computer). It doesn't have to be a VPP Apple ID…just an ordinary Apple ID used to associate with the app. Then download the app(s). They will go to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications. These apps will be linked to the Apple ID you authorized in iTunes. Next go into Apple Configurator and add the apps on the Prepare -> Apps screen. When you try to add the app in AC (clicking on the "+" at the bottom of the screen), you should be prompted to enter an Apple ID and password (see screenshot below).
    It will say that "This Apple ID will be used to redeem VPP codes…" It is NOT the Apple ID used to purchase the VPP codes… The VPP codes can be redeemed by any Apple ID. Even if you're using free apps you will still need to associate an Apple ID to the app.
    You must enter the same Apple ID and password that you used to download the app in iTunes, and you should be good to go. You are not limited to the 10 device limit here.
    And yes, you will need to instruct your users not to sync (apps) with their personal computers via USB. There are ways to plug in the iPad into a computer without syncing apps but so often users will just click through buttons and wipe out the apps that the company installed.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Product ID for second issue of multi viewer app

    hi,
    I've in this forum already found very usefull info about publishing the second issue of a free multi viewer app but still can't figure out if we have to use the same Product ID  for each issue, or do we need to create a different Product ID for each issue ?
    I've put two examples below, suppose one of them has to right. Or not ??
    Is this the way to handle multiple issues (option 1):
    product ID issue 1 = Product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname
    Or is this the right way (option 2):
    product ID issue 1 = com.magnusmedia.magname.01
    product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname.02
    thanx in adavance
    Herman
    Allright, was in a hurry and tested it out myself.
    Option 2 is working for me, hope it's right to handle it that way.
    With option 1 the app crashes (dark gray screen, no folio opens, library- en scrolling buttons are available but)

    Short answer: Yes, use a different Product ID for each folio (or for each set of folio renditions).
    Longer answer: It's confusing that there are three different types of Apple Product IDs:
    (1) the app Product ID, which you can ignore
    (2) subscription duration Product IDs for a paid app or a single Product ID for a free subscription app
    (3) a Product ID for each retail folio
    When you're setting up a free subscription app, you don't need to use iTunes to create a Product ID for individual folios, because your folios are free. You just need to set up a free subscription Product ID in iTunes Connect and specify that Product ID in the DPS App Builder. On the Adobe side, you use a different Product ID for different folios you publish, such as com.publisher.publication.2012October and com.publisher.publication.2012November.  If you're creating renditions, you use the same Product ID for the different renditions and different Product IDs for different sets of renditions.

  • Questions for Subscription App.

    I am using DPS Single Editions & currently have an app waiting for review. I wanted to change it to a subscription based app and had some questions.
    Can I even build an app for Newstand with Single Editions?
    Like this thread says I can't: Prepping DPS app for newsstand
    "All Newsstand apps must be subscriptions apps—either free or retail. Single-issue viewer apps cannot appear in Newsstand." Adding Digital Publishing Suite apps to Apple Newsstand | Adobe Developer Connection
    If so, do I need to re-create the app within the App Builder to specify that it's going to be for the newstand? Or can I just use my original app & just change the options within iTunesConnect?
    I just wanted confirmation, since I remember talking to Adobe Support saying that I could create subscriptions with the Single Editions (Creative Cloud Subscription).  If I can't create subscriptions, is my only option to go with the Enterprise package?
