IPad - excel viewer problem

Hi
I have a serious problem with my iPad. I'm going to the Olympics in London and I receive a lot of excel documents in email and I use the excel viewer to go through time results etc. Here is the problem: On a PC using latest version of MS Excel we use custom format for time results in swimming. There we use the format hh:mm:ss,00 which return normal times in swimming like 24,79 or 1:01,97 - we use , (comma) as a decimal seperator. On my iPad these times comes in excel viewer as 24.00 and 1:01.00.
I don't have to explain further, this is absolutely a turnoff. I can't use my iPod on the OL with this "error" so I', trying to push forward an enhancement request.
Thanks,

If you wish to report this issue to Apple, use their feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
It's unlikely that anyone at Apple in a position to do anything about such an error will see your post here. Do not expect this to be corrected quickly, if at all.
For now, you may want to try one of the third-party apps that support Excel documents. Apple makes an iOS versions of Numbers which can import Excel documents. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go, Quickoffice and Office2 HD. Whether any of them can handle custom time formats I don't know, but you could ask the developer.
Regards.
P.S. It's usually not a good idea to post your phone number in an open forum. The only calls you'll get when you do so are from scammers and telemarketers.

Excel View Problem

Hello,
I have an ALV report. The output of the report is OK. But, when I see it in Excel view(Ctrl + Shift + F7), then also data output is coming in the proper format. But, the only problem is I don't see my Header informations(Report Headings/Subheading) in any of the sheet even not in the RAWHEADER sheet also. Does anybody have any idea why the Header informations are not coming in Excel view.
Thanks and regards,
Ajay Ahuja

ALV Excel View Problem

Hi All,
    I have a problem with the ALV display problem.
    When I click on the 'Microsoft Excel View' button at the top of the ALV display, I can view the data in Excel View.
    However, when my user click it on his computer, he saw the excel view is blank without data (even there are data at the initial ALV display screen).
    May I know what is the root cause of this problem? I've no idea of how to investigate it or solve it.
    Many Thanks.

Folio not showing on Ipad Adobe Viewer

Is the second time I have a folio not showing up on my ipad adobe viewer.
This has happened after i delete 4 or more articles from the folio, after deleting them it stops showing in my ipad viewer.
I researched here before and the solution was to check for the size, (that it was a size made for ipad) and yeah, i checked the size and the size is totally fine 768x1024
but still doesnt appear.
what I have to do is to create a new folio and click "copy to" each article to the new folio (from the old one), but the option copy to has to be done one by one, which is very annoying and time consuming. Once all articles are copied the new folio shows up but the old one doesnt.
Anyone knows why this happens? how can it be solved faster?

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

Adobe Content Viewer problem. Please Help me...

Hi after updating online. Folio, I tried to update the trial version of the publication on my iPad but I get this message: "the issue isavailable for dowload, but new signing for an application version. Update the application from the App Store. "I went to the AppStore and was not any update of the Content Viewer ... I deleted the version on my iPad I downloaded again ... but without success gives me the same problem ... Please help me ... how can I do??
thanks

Hello Bob and thank you for responding so quickly ... Would you be kind enough to send me the link where I can download older versions of Folio Builder and Folio Producers Panel tools for InDesign 5.5. I'm looking for them but I can not find them.
Thank you for your patience.

As discussed in numerous threads already, the new viewer has not been approved by Apple yet.
If you’re a pro or enterprise customer you can create your own viewer app. If not, you’ll have to wait or roll back to the older tools.

ALV Grid and Excel view

Hi,
I'm searching anywhere on this forum for a solution but up to now I did only partial progress.
I've already seen dozens of sap notes about this problem.
When I pressed "view in Microsoft Excel" (code &VEXCEL) on an ALV grid list, a popup appeared noticing that no template was found. Looking around on this forum I managed to discover how to load these templates from local (BC_ALVEXCEL_SAP_TEMPL, BCALV_BDS_MAINTENANCE) or from client 000 (BCALV_BDS_IMPORT_SAP_TEMPLATE).
Anyway, I managed to restore the templates on the system, but excel view still doesn't work:
wheh I press the button now I only see a blank screen in place of the excel; if excel was already open (not in sap), then an excel view is actually shown, but the sheet is empty, no data in it.
Any hints?
thank you

Hi,
Just open Excel, then Goto Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Security Tab -> Macro Security ->Set Medium and in Trusted publisher tab select the checkbox Trust Access to Visual Basic Project Now Press Ok.
This will solve your problem.

How can I delete an unwanted folio from ipad content viewer?

I have deleted the folio from the digital publishing suite, but that did not remove it from the ipad.
There does not seem to be any option to delete it from the ipad content viewer as only "resume" and "view" are available as actionable options for this folio.
Hope someone can help

Thanks - I was hoping for something built in as the problem with this folio was that there were errors in the indesign software (had to uninstall and reinstall) and so the folio was not able to complete the download. So there was no option to "archive". I can imagine that a folio not being able to properly download would not be that unusual and having to uninstall and reinstall the content viewer is a nuisance!
Of well, I will give it a try and cross my fingers that it does not keep hapenning!
Thanks for your help - I will report back what happens

Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer

A number of co-workers and clients have reported that when viewing a folio for the first time on a new device, a grey screen appears instead of the content. In general, the problem is fixed by closing the Conent Viewer in the app tray and restarting the app.
I have only seen the issue once, but it has been reported to me a number of times and while it's no problem for my co-workers, we would prefer that when a client sees a draft of their folio for the first time, they are not fighitng with the software. As my sale person said, "we're losing the 'wow' factor.
Any one else experiencing this issue or any expected fix?

I get it with dual orientation folios in PDF format on iPad and iPhone. but
maybe I experience a different bug ...

ADOBE CONTENT VIEWER PROBLEMS

What is going on with the content viewer? I am trying to work on a folio which is a work in progress. As I ad and make changes to the articles I update them and download the update on my iPad. The problem that I have over and over and over to the point of RIDICULOUS is that I get a ERROR downloading the update and then I am requried to download the entire 521mb folio AGAIN!!!!! Then ot gets to about 321mb and stops. All I get ie a"waiting" message.
I pay entirely to much money for this softeware for it to continully have these problems. This is disrupting my work flow and causing me to miss deadlines.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the content viewer and nothing seems to work. This same problem is happening on my addroid tablet as well.
Any thoughts?
Rob

Rob,
From May until September, before they upgraded the servers and timeout settings, I was having very similar problems and frustration. I had to babysit downloads on salespeople's Xooms using hotel wireless until the wee hours of a couple of mornings in addition to many frustrating days/weeks in my office. The unreliability/inconsistency was the most frustrating part. Thankfully I rarely have download and installation issues these days and get very few complaints from users in the field. Server problems seem to happen infrequently and don't last for more than a few hours when they do occur.
Make sure you're as close to a strong and solid signal as possible. Adjust the screen timeout setting on the Android tablet. When they go to sleep it seems to increase the potential for errors. What happened to me a lot was that a 500MB+ folio would slowly download in spurts and then hang during installation. I'd have to quit and restart the content viewer app to complete installation and then when it finally finished I would find that one or two articles would have gray elements or would be gray entirely. It seemed like the delays during download would sometimes lead to an incomplete article. Also, make sure you try downloading from different connections and/or rooms to eliminate your connection as a potential cause.
With some of our larger articles it takes as long to upload the article and then download/verify on multiple devices as it does to create them. I add as much padding to schedules as I can just in case Adobe has a bad server day (or week).
Big articles and folios come with more time and trouble, make sure you optimize your videos and overlay elements to keep file size as low as you can. Also, with the iPad viewer you should have progressive downloading so you can view articles as the folio is being downloaded. This may help you identify the problem article(s).

Adobe Content Viewer Problem

Hi All,
I am having trouble testing a new folio on the desktop of one of my students' computers. I have double checked her files are all setup properly. I checked her articles and her folio too. Everything is set up the way it should be. We can test it on an iPad without any problems, but when we try to test it on her desktop via the Adobe Content Viewer the screen loads and then remains grey. No error codes. Just completely grey.
Any suggestions as to why this may occur?
Thanks,
Jessica

Did your student set her folio as PDF? You can't view PDF folios on the desktop content viewer. If you were to try and view it then you would get a grey screen.

Just updated DPS successfully but now my iPad Content Viewer isn't automatically updating.

Hi Guys,
just did the update successfully and evrything seeems to be working fine within InDesign.
I have just added a new article to the folio I am working on but my iPad Content Viewer isn't checking for update automatically anymore, so I can view my new article.
Any ideas why this happening?
It was working yesterday when I was using it.
Is there a way to force the ipad Content Viewer to check for updates?
Please help asap, as I have a college deadline on Monday and need to check everything is working okay.
Thanks.

Hi Bob,
I am new to DPS and this is my first time of creating folios, hence the deadline on Monday.
Please ignore my second post, as I had forgot to sign in again after reinstalling on my iPad.
Fingers crossed it does seem to be working again after the reinstall and I actually set all of the Version compatbilities to 24.
I'll keep you posted if there are any more problems.
Thank you for your reply.

Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer

When executing BW reports from the GUI, the following error is received. Reports run directly from excel seem to work fine.
"Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer"
This error is occuring on machines that were recently upgraded to SAP GUI 7.20 patch 7 and BW 3.5 patch 5. In some cases but not all, running a repair on Excel resolves the issue. However, we do not want to have to run a repair on all machines that will be upgraded. Does anyone no the root cause and an easier solution for this issue?

Hi,
Please refer simmilar discussion at Please Install Excel as Viewer
I hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks,

HT4759 I wanted to login to iCloud from my ipad to view my calendar. The message was that I needed to set up iCloud on the device but I have and it won't give me the login screen. What am I missing? Thank you.

I wanted to login to iCloud from my ipad to view my calendar. The message was that I needed to set up iCloud on the device but I have and it won't give me the login screen. What am I missing? Thank you.

I'm assuming you are trying to log in using Safari on your ipad - if this is the case, you can't do that on an iOS device. You must use the Calendar app on the device. If you are using someone else's device, then you have a problem doing this. I just tried using Chrome on an iPad and that also doesn't work. If there's on nearby, use a computer's browser, that works.
