I seem to have forgotten how to set up AIRHelp to auto-update...

I seem to have forgotten how to set up AIRHelp to auto-update. Silly me!
Here's what I'm doing:
1.) In the "General" settings of the AIRHelp SSL wizard, I browse to the directory in which I want my updates to be found for customers. This is the same directory on the Web server in which I plan to have the "update XML" file also reside.
2.) In the "View settings, I enable the "Enable Auto Update" option. Since I am trying to update from a Web server, I have selected the "http" option (not the "File" option), then paste in the direct URL to my Web server that I intend to generate my updated AIRHelp installer. At the end of that URL path, I type the name of an XML file.
3.) I generate a 1.0 iteration of my AIRHelp. Once it has completed, I copy it from the updated directory, then paste it onto the Desktop of a remote computer. I install this iteration.
4.) I generate a 2.0 iteration of my AIRHelp file (and ensure not to touch any other settings). Once it has completed, I verify that it is is a newer .AIR file by the file date/time as specified by Windows Explorer.
5.) I launch my 1.0 iteration of my AIRHelp document, but it does not auto-detect the updated .AIR file. However, I do have my settings correct that the 1.0 AIRHelp document is viewing the "online iteration."
So, what am I doing wrong?
As always, thank you very much in advance for your assistance!
Most sincerely,

Hey, Peter and Praful.  Thank you both for your replies.
Peter, I have indeed read your content on using this function. You have a great Web site, and I'm still digesting lots of it! But I have thoroughly read and reread all your content on AIRHelp. I'm afraid despite following your instructions, I am still running into this problem.
Praful, that was a good suggestion to connect to the updating XML file to ensure the remote computer can see that directory (and XML file). Indeed, I can read that XML file in a Web browser from the remote computer in which the older AIRHelp is installed. I have also gone into the Preferences and tried to check for updates immediately; the AIRHelp file informs me that there are no updates available.
I was curious: After the AIRHelp file is installed, I see that there is a .helpcfg file which tells the AIRHelp where to find offline and online iterations of itself. Isn't there supposed to be another .helpcfg file which points to the directory/Web server in which the updating XML file is to be found? If so, that .helpcfg file doesn't seem to get installed.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
As always, I really appreciate all your assistance!
Most sincerely,
Sammy Spencer

    Here is my suggestion:
    Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
    Open the collage
    Go to Select>all
    Go to Edit>copy
    Go back to the blank file created in step #1
    Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
    Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
    Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
    Please report back with your progress.

  • I bought Downton Abbey on iTunes, but I have forgotten how to get into it.

    I bought Downton Abbey on iTunes some time ago, but I have been traveling and have forgotten how to get into it?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "get into it". If you downloaded the episodes, just launch iTunes, go to the TV Shows section, and play the episode you want to watch.
    Otherwise, you'll need to explain your issue in more detail.
    Regards.

    That is wrong advice and you appear to have repeated it all over the forum.
    All Pages files no matter what version have the same file extension, .pages, despite being radically different formats and that is the problem. The System does not distinguish between them when you double click on the file, it opens the first version of Pages it encounters.
    You need to right click on the file and choose the correct App version for the file. Unfortunately there are no clues to tell you which is which.
    If you are unhappy with this and the removal of over 100 features plus the problems with transmitting files across devices, servers and different versions of OS X, rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

    My iPad has been disabled due to wrong passcode which I have forgotten,How can open it again?I'm so desperate right now

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • HT4539 I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded.  Can anyone help?

    I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded.  Can anyone help?  Also, how would I download it to my documents for future reading or printing?  I am very new to this process.

    If it's an ibook that you've downloaded from iTunes then (if you don't already have it installed) you need to download the iBooks app to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch (an ibook can't be read on a Mac or PC), and you can then either (if you have the book on your computer) sync the book to your device via your computer's iTunes or re-download it directly in the iBooks app on the device (re-downloading).
    To sync a book to the iBooks app, connect your device to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync the book to the iBooks app.
    There is a chapter on the iBooks app in the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch's manual : http://support.apple.com/manuals/

  • I just got my iphone 4s today and came home and plugged it into my itunes and restored it to my account but something is wrong it seems to have gone to the setting that I had on my iphone 4. How do I get it back to how I had it?

    I just got an iphone 4s and went to itunes to get all the stuff that I had on my last phone onto my new phone. I think that I have put all my setting for my old phone onto my new phone. My old phone being a iphone 4. Is there anyway I can get my phone back to how I got it earlier today?

    No, no one here can help you, & neither can/will Apple. Only Orange can authorize the unlocking of your phone, & typical of most carriers, they will only do so for customers using the phone on their network.
    Either establish service with Orange, then request the phone be unlocked, or sell it to someone that can use it on their network.

  • Firefox 4.01. I wish to have "Mozila Firefox S tart Page" as Start Page. I have used "How to set the home page" (tools, options, general, restory to default) but no result.

    # Numbered list item

    The part you are probably missing is
    When Firefox starts: "Start my Home page" (in the dropdown)
    the installed default home page is about:home in Firefox 4, but simply choose the "Restore to Default",
    then click on the "OK".
    see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help]
    If that is not working then try instructions , and following the instructions suggest taking a picture of your toolbars first, so that you will be able to recustomize your toolbars afterwards, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    After resetting, continue with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization Toolbar customization - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] and if you used small icons -- don't forget the checkmark for that in the dialog.

  • How to set up multiple NLS_LANG or update the NLS_LANG in windows registry

    Hi!
    In our server machine, we have installed the Oracle Net Manager Version 10.2.0.0.0, which is used to connect to different oracle databases in different NLS_LANG settings (i.e., JA16SJIS, KO16KSC5601, WE8ISO8859P1). Currently, our NLS_LANG is set to "AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8". In order not to convert the character set to UTF-8 format, could anyone tell me:
    1. how to set multiple NLS_LANG for different databases in registry
    2. how to switch the NLS_LANG setting in registry programmatically in order to retrieve/view the data in the corresponding character set (same as the setting in Oracle DB) for the dedicated oracle database
    Please advise. Thanks a lot
    Best Regards
    Pinga

    1. how to set multiple NLS_LANG for different databases in registryBy default NLS_LANG registry settings is linked to the Oracle home and not to the database. I don't think that you can set a NLS_LANG setting for each database (unless you are using a command line tool and in this case you can set the NLS_LANG environment variable).
    See also OTN NLS_LANG FAQ.

  • Help - how do I stop Itunes from auto update

    I have just deleted everything from my Itunes. How do I stop Ipod from being updated by Itunes automatically (it's now blank except for 2 new songs I just bought. My Ipod has over 1000 songs on it and I don't want it all to be erased by updating it to a blank Itunes library!!
    Thanks

    How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    If connecting to a
    i different computer
    than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
    Then: Transfer music manually

  • How does one turn off link auto-update?

    When we have an ID file open in CS6 and make a Photoshop edit, the link seems to auto-update. We don't like this as we'd rather 'watch' the update so if comes in as expected, etc.. Can one turn off link auto-update? Thanks!

    Are you making the edit by selecting the graphic frame and then choosing Edit Original? This will always auto-update.
    If that's not it, you might try clicking Preferences > General > Reset All Warning Dialogs
