I've forgotten to ask the most important thing: This also stays that way for DPS V30?

Help with embedding videos

Hello,
I please need help with embedding videos from youtube. I do this via the Web panel (not the video panel) and copied the embed code on Youtube and pasted it into my Indesign CS6 (autoplay activated). I did it according to that helpful video: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2013/06/04/embedding-youtube-videos-into-your-dps-project/
However, when testing this on my iPad, only a white box appears and I cannot press a play button.

Are you sure, that you changed code from youtube?
Code from youtube is:
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
but you need to change it to
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
For us, best result is to embed video via:
menu Object > Include HTML (don't know exact english name of menu), paste iframe code with correct http link and then it works.

I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?

I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?

As Bern510 says, you'll need to recreate certificates that are valid. I suggest following our step-by-step publishing guide, which walks through how to obtain certificates correctly.

Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).

I have rolled out bunch of updates across few hundred workstation systems.
Few of the desktops have failed to install SOME of the updates and just can't get my head around as to why?
Looking at one of the workstations, I can see 5 updates are pending download at 0%.
Some of these fail after a while and with in Software Centre, I can see 'Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).'. Not exactly sure what this means, but I have tried clearing the cache and
rebooting the workstations few times.
(I have also tried to use Windows Update and install one of these manually, which worked.)

Investigating this further, I have found the following in CAS.log:

Replacing an existing app not made with DPS?

I have an app on itunes right now that was not developed with DPS. Can I use my rebuilt app in DPS as a rivision? How do I replace it?

Yes you should be able to create a new verison in Itunes Connect.
+ you need to use the same bundle ID for the new build to be considered an update.
See page 66 of http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ppcompdoc/Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf
When you revise your app, use the same App ID and distribution provisioning profile to
create the new custom viewer. If you updated the folio, select the folio and choose Create App
from the Folio Builder panel menu. Create a new app version (you can delete the previous instance
of the app in DPS App Builder). If you use mobileprovision files based on the same App
ID as the previous version, Apple will recognize the rebuilt app as the same app. Download
and test the development file.
In iTunes Connect, click Manage Your Applications, click the app you want to update, and then
click Add Version. Follow the prompts, and then use Application Loader to upload the .zip file.

Fullscreen shiftable Diashow with dps pro

hey folks,
I found a lot articles about diashows and scrolling slideshows but i have still a problem.
I create an e-magazine with dps pro CS6 for my work.
here is a screenshot:
http://s7.directupload.net/images/130322/i4s3qs54.png
every single picture in the layout is linked to the specific pic in the fullscreen diashow.
now I want, if the user tabs on one of the pictures, that exact picture pops up in the shiftable fullscreen diashow... till that step i got it...
i created the whole diashow as an objectstate with an invisible layer on top/first.
in each objectstate layer i also created a button to switch back to the layout.
here is a screenshot:
http://s14.directupload.net/images/130322/wgg73lb3.png
http://s7.directupload.net/images/130322/wfdxcpmf.png
it works fine but i want that diashow working as a loop without that invisible layer.
so the user is not able to see the layout behind that fullscreen diashow if he swabed through the end of it. only if he presses the "back to layout" button.
here is a screenshot:
http://s7.directupload.net/images/130322/wfdxcpmf.png
if i enable that "swab" (sorry dont know the enlish description) funktion in the "folio overlay"...
here is a screenshot:
http://s1.directupload.net/images/130322/avooxpbl.png
... the user would be able to swab over the layout and starts instantly the fullscreen diashow, thats not what i want.
i also tried to put a button in every single object state layer to navigate to the "next" picture...
that worked pretty well but it was impossible to get back to the picture before...
so the user can only swab in one direction but i want him to be able to slide forward and backward... with this technique it wasn´t possible.
i hope i could describe u my problem understandable and someone can help me.
cheers and good night
*sorry if i wrote wired but its late here in austria and im pretty tired

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you're trying to create a slideshow in which the first image is not visible. You want buttons to show each state in the slideshow, and you also want users to be able to swipe through the slides. You also want users to be able to tap a button to make the slideshow invisible again. The problem is that the first state in the slideshow is invisible, and swiping through the slideshow causes the invisible state to appear, which you don't want. Is that correct? If so, here are some possibilities:
* In the Overlays panel, select the "Hide Before Playing" option. The slideshow will be invisible at first, and then tapping any of the buttons activates the slideshow. Unfortunately, once you activate the slideshow, you can't deactivate it--it remains active, so this approach probably wouldn't work with your design..
* Create a slideshow in which the first state is invisible. Insert buttons in each state of the slideshow that jump to the next or previous slide. On the last slide, create a Go To State button that jumps to State 2. In State 2, create a previous button with Go To State that jumps to the last slide, skipping the invisible State 1. Create a button outside the slideshow that jumps to State 1, and create your other buttons outside the MSO. Finally, do not enable "Swipe to Change Image" in the Overlays panel. I believe this approach would work.

Confused with DPS versions?

Being a creative cloud subscriber, I have the ability to build sinlge edition apps with DPS, but I am very confused as to what this means.
I have a publication which we want to get on the iTunes store. It is one publication which will have multiple issues going forward (one a month). With the single edition version of DPS, will I be able to submit additional issues to my app or does every issue have to be it's own app? Furthermore, will I be able to require readers to subscribe to read the publication?
It would seem completely illogical to me to not let an app update with future issues of a publication and I really hope this isn't the case.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

You can set up an account at digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome/ using whatever email/username/password the client would like. When firing up DPS, you login to the Folio Builder using those credentials then build your folio accordingly.
For the next client, repeat the process using a different email/username/password.
I would also recommend having your own acrobat.com account for testing purposes then, when the folio is complete and good to go, just recreate the entire folio in the proper client account.
I'd definitely get with the client and see how they'd like to proceed. Contrary to other advice, with using the Adobe Content Viewer method the size of your viewship is meaningless. Doesn't matter if there's 10 or 1000 people logging in and using the folio via the Content Viewer - it works the same way. There's no download or signup limit that I'm aware of.. With an Enterprise account, there's a far greater level of control and security that a corporation would appreciate - including distribution. If there's an enterprise account, the IT group can set up provisional profiles that go out to pre-approved devices (iPad, iPhone, Android), and then the users can download. Much better control and I believe that IT could also immediately revoke permissions if necessary. With the Content Viewer method, once it's out there...it's out there. No way to pull it from individual devices. You'd have to delete the entire folio in the Builder...but then everyone loses it the next time they login to the Content Viewer app.

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc
[email protected]......
Subject: 'Project for: ' Jim...'not updated in the last 30 days'

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

Help with HP Laser Printer 1200se

HP Support Line,
Really need your assistance. I have tried both contacting HP by phone (told they no longer support our printer via phone help), the tech told me that I needed to contact HP by e-mail for assistance. I then sent an e-mail for assistance and got that reply today, the reply is as follows "Randall, unfortunately, HP does not offer support via e-mail for your product. However many resources are available on the HP web site that may provide the answer to your inquiry. Support is also available via telephone. A list of technical support numbers can be round at the following URL........." The phone numbers listed are the ones I called and the ones that told me I needed to contact the e-mail support for help.
So here I am looking for your help with my issue.
We just bought a new HP Pavillion Slimline Desk Top PC (as our 6 year old HP Pavillion PC died on us). We have 2 HP printers, one (an all-in-one type printer, used maily for copying and printing color, when needed) is connected and it is working fine with the exception of the scanning option (not supported by Windows 7). However we use our Laser Printer for all of our regular prining needs. This is the HP LaserPrinter 1200se, which is about 6 years old but works really well. For this printer we currently only have a parallel connection type cord and there is not a parallel port on the Slimline HP PC. The printer also has the option to connedt a USB cable (we do not currently have this type of cable).
We posed the following two questions:
1. Is the Laser Jet 1200se compatible with Windows 7?
and if this is the case
2. Can we purchase either a) a USC connection cord (generic or do we need a printer specific cord)? or b) is there there a printer cable converter adapater to attach to our parallel cable to convert to a USB connection?
We do not want to purchase the USB cable if Windows 7 will not accept the connection, or if doing this will harm the PC.
We really would appreciate any assitance that you might give us.
Thank you,
Randy and Leslie Gibson

Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design. That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected. You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

Facts:
US uses 110v on 60hz
Australia 220v on 50hz
Making sure I understood that correctly. Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD. My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
Ideas I've had or thought of:
1. Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet. Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
2. Get power converters for all my devices. But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
3. Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday). Unless Best Buy carrys one.

Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all. These will just need a connector adapter.
Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.
