Are you trying to record to "live" application which comes with default installation of FMS, if you are doing that then you will get Record.NoAccess as "live" application does not allow recording. Now hopefully you have FMIS and not FMSS. If you are having FMSS, you will just get live & vod apps and both of them you wont be allowed to record.
Now I will assume you have FMIS :
Please use other app to record other than "live". Renaming "live" to "live_test" or changing its location wont help, you will still get error.
In order to record do following things,
1. Create a folder called "recordApp" - since you are triggering record from client side you dont need any server-side code.
2. Just change application name in your client connection URL to connect to "recordApp" instead of "live_test"
3. You dont have to change anything in fms.ini so keep the default as it comes in installation.
4. As mentioned by JayCharles please use :http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashmediaserver/3.0/docs/help.html?content=03_configtasks_37.ht ml for doing VirtualDirectory settings so that you can record your files in particular directory. (However I would note one thing is that VirtualDirectory feature is more for play than record/ingest)
5.Give write permissions to your folder where you would be recording.
please let me know if this does not work

IPhone 6 using Data when on Wifi

I upgraded to an iPhone 6+ a few weeks ago from an iPhone 5. Since then Ive been burning through data. Like 6GB in 2 weeks...ridiculous.
What really got me though happened this weekend. I was at my friends house and we decided to watch Guardians of the Galaxy. I have it on my iCloud, so I played it from my phone and AirPlayed it to his Apple TV. I was connected to his wifi, which is an awesome 50mb/s fiber network. We played it through the Apple TV without any real problems. My phone says though that now my videos app used 1.4GB.
Ive seen a few posts about this happening on iOS8 and I just wanted to add my experience to the pot.
Ive turned Cellular Data off on the

I'm not having that problem but you may want to go to Settings > Cellular and look at the applications listed under "Use Cellular Data For." Each application that has used data will show the amount used since you last reset the statistics. The System Services section will show details of that data usage. Reviewing or resetting and then watching this may help you identify what is causing the problem.

Is there any way to stop my iPhone use data when i hit the data limit so i don't go over the data limit

is their any way to stop an iphone 4s from using data when i hit the 2gb limit on verizon wireless this way i dont have to pay the fee for extra data
thank you

Don't know of any way for it to happen automatically, but you can still use the phone and send/receive sms with cellular data turned off.

Why do some webpages not finish loading images when using cellular data instead of WiFi?

I'm using iPhone 6 64gb. The problem existed with iOS 8.0.0 and the iOS 8.0.2 update.
I have had trouble with webpages loading slowly over AT&T LTE. Sites with multiple images frequently have trouble loading all the images entirely. Instead, the unloaded portion of the image fills in with black or the image fails to load at all. If I switch to WiFi when available and refresh the page, the images will usually reload completely. I never had this problem with the iPhone 5s on the same websites.

I'm on AT&T with an iPhone 5 first gen. This problem is happening across iPhone4s al of the way to iPhone6+
Thought it was only affecting newer iPhones with new Graphic Processors but I later ruled that out.
Seems to only be happening on LTE / 4G. Is not affected on WIFI for me.
I clear cache, crash browser and even reset the phone but will still get unexpected results in LTE or 4G.
The images seem to be getting prematurely cached and are only partially rendering.
When I save the these half loaded images in photoshop I get a warning that they are damaged and/or truncated.
I have saved images out as PNG and JPGs renders poorly.
About the images-
These images are only 15k and there are 16 on the page so I can't see why they would get bottlenecked when loading.
also, there is no background-color of black anywhere in the CSS.
Note the TV-Like static on the bottom image similar to the comment ryzer08 above.

Is there a way to tell which apps are using data while on WIFI?

Hello,
I have just purchased an iPad Air 2. I use my phone as a mobile WIFI hot spot to connect to the internet when I do not have a regular WIFI connection available. 151 MBs of data were consumed over an hour and a half or so. I played about an hour of Hearthstone, but I know from tethering my phone to my laptop that it usually doesn't use anywhere near that amount of data.
I would like to track down which applications might be using the data so that I can avoid using them while connected to my phone. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for the quick response. That's a little disappointing though. Is there an app on the store?

Does iphone use wifi or mobile network preferentially?

Hi - stupid question really...
If connected to a wifi network (e.g. at home), does the iphone use this instead of the mobile network, therefore, saving on you data allowance?
Or is there a setting you can change so it does this?

Hey tkoe,
The iPhone will connect to the Internet over the fastest connection available, Wi-Fi>3G>EDGE.
+"How iPhone Connects to the Internet+
+iPhone connects to the Internet using either a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data network.+
+iPhone does the following, in order, until connected:+
+Connects over the last Wi-Fi network you used that’s available.+
+If no previously used Wi-Fi networks are available, iPhone shows a list of Wi-Fi+
+networks in range. Tap a network and, if necessary, enter the password to join.+
+Networks that require a password show next to them. You can prevent iPhone+
+from automatically showing available networks. See “Wi-Fi” on page 102.+
+If no Wi-Fi networks are available or you choose not to join any, iPhone connects to+
+the Internet over a cellular data network ( , , or ). You cannot access the iTunes+
+Wi-Fi Music Store over a cellular data network.+
+If no Wi-Fi networks are available and a cellular data network isn’t available, iPhone+
+cannot connect to the Internet. "+ From page 30 of the iPhone User Guide

How is it possible to accrue data charges on wifi and asleep?

I'm not very happy with what's going on right now. My family of 3 shares a data plan of 8GB. I use under 1G, my husband <1G-1.5G and my son uses a ton so I decided to start looking into when/how much data is being used. In the previous billing cycle we went over by .009 on the final day of the billing cycle so what's the point to pay $10 for 2G and then not be able to change it back, therefore I took the stupid $15 overage charge for literally nothing. Anyway, I began to look through the time stamps and data usage per phone and it's pretty fishy. I'm being charged data at 4:06am, 10:06am, 4:06pm and so on. I have an iphone5, my husband has an iphone6 and my son an iphone 6+. Spoke with a rep tonight who claimed it may be due to my wifi losing connectivity and auto updating while connected to the LTE. That's a load. My whole family switched to Verizon because we couldn't ever get a good signal where we live with AT&T. My husband finally was forced to try a different company due to work and having to have a reliable network where we live. Not one dropped call, not one issue with wifi-Verizon was actually the miracle mobile provider I never knew existed. I waited a few months to make sure that it wasn't too good to be true and at once dropped AT&T totally and switched my son and my phone to Verizon as well. Having a teenager I knew we needed to probably have more data to be on the safe side but they can't seem to tell me how his data is being used and from 4/2 to today (4/14) he has used over 4G of data according to them. I pull up the dates and times and know for a fact that he was connected to home wifi for 1.6G+ and at his school wifi for another 1.6G+ and only 1.2G+ could have possibly been used off wifi. And I also see that there are massive amounts of complaints regarding this same type of sham. Not to mention I had added Family Base to be able to set limits on the data my son uses. But apparently since he's able to access the MyVerizon account from his phone (albeit he isn't an authorized user on the Family Base plan) he is able to go in and change any parameters I had set up. So tonight I go in and remove this feature from our account and now 30 minutes later I get a "Welcome to Verizon Family Base" text. WTH is going on??? I want real answers now or I will be looking into what others have done regarding this type of abuse. I had high hopes that this was going to be an honest, reliable network I could trust but this data business is insanely bogus. I'd like to hear back from someone regarding getting this researched and resolved. I don't want to feel discontent about something that has been going good so far. But I don't really feel like I should have to turn off all cellular data and close all open apps when I'm on wifi in order to keep from having data charged inappropriately. Thanks for your help and prompt resolution to my concern.

We are suffering from the same nightmare. It has been 8 solid weeks of phone calls to Verizon, then Apple, then to our cable service provider; daily data checks; overage charges; fights with the teen; HOURS of time invested in trying to get to the bottom of sudden and exponential jump in data usage. It started about a month after we upgraded my daughter's phone to a 5s. She is even more conscientious than me about not using it unless we are connected to wifi. For the first month, all was fine and we were going through the normal 2G. Then, with absolutely NO habit or usage change on our end, we were blasting through that like lightening. She was disciplined for the overuse. We added another 1G just to be safe. That went even faster than the 2G!!! We are now at 6GB at almost double the rate we went through 2!!!
I have kept a log of the time spent trying to solve this issue -- almost 5 hours of phone time alone. I literally have an AppleCare supervisor in my phone contact list because he is so perplexed!!!! After several Verizon technical support calls, we finally an agent who really wanted to help. She was convinced my daughter's phone had a rogue (malware) virus. Apple said it had to be the hardware. But when we really looked at the metrics -- both of our iPhones AND the iPad all all using data when on wifi, supposedly. We had one month of overage charges refunded, but with the problem not solved (reset both phones to factory settings; exchanged our modem for a new one !!!) I added -- you guessed it -- MORE DATA!!!
I didn't see how Verizon could be guilty of fraud -- after all, something of this magnitude would put the entire company out of business ultimately and it just doesn't make sense. But this is WAY OFF. Further, mid-way through our issue, the data category that was using the most data on my daughter's phone -- "Business Services" -- suddenly disappeared and now the main usage category is "Web Apps". Verizon. Really? It's a poor show.
I'm considering eating the contract termination fee and returning to AT&T. I'm not quick to assume, which is why I've spent months assuming some responsibility for the data, but it's very clear to us now that there is something very illegal happening here.

NFL Mobile App Used Data When Not Open

I used the NFL Mobile App last night for the first time. I connected to my WIFI thinking it wouldn't use any data. But it did anyway. And then during the night when the app was closed it used a whole lot of data on its own. I have notifications turned off. Why should this be using data when not open? And why should it be using data when on WIFI?

To have to go to settings, apps, find the app and then force stop is
a lot of steps just to stop an app. Not really an acceptable solution.
However, I re-installed the app. Opened it to make sure it worked ok. Made
sure my WIFI was on during all this. Then went to apps and did a force stop.
Took several tries to get it to stop for some reason. Later I noticed my phone
seemed to be using a lot of battery for some reason. Re-booted phone to make
sure all apps had closed. Went back in and checked the NFL app. It was no
longer stopped. I force stopped it again. Took several tries. Waited a few minutes
and checked again. It was no longer stopped. For some reason it won’t stop. So
I had to un-install it again.
Not sure why all this is happening with this particular app, but I can’t take the
chance of inadvertent data or battery usage. So it will remain un-installed until
someone tells me the problem has been fixed. It’s a shame as since this is one
of the perks of my Verizon account, I feel I have been slighted. I can’t believe I’m
the only one having this issue.

I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

Iphone 5 wont connect to internet while using data or Wifi after iOS 7.0.6 update

I just updated my iPhone 5 today to iOS 7.0.6. No matter what conection I use, data or wifi connection, I can not connect to the internet or use any function involving the internet.

UPDATE - I got my devices working on my wifi. Here's what I did:
1. On your iOS device - go to "network settings" and select the associated network and select "forget this network".
2. Reboot your iOS device.
3. Change the wifi (WPA2) password on your wifi AP.
4. Re-join the wifi network on your iOS device. Put in the new password.
--> If your system is like mine, the device will now connect to your wifi network. I suspect the SSL fix somehow munged the password encryption for the existing password, but changing it on both ends somehow fixes it.
good luck!!
Tom
