Is Adobe Drive being retired & replaced?

We are working through an implementation of AEM Assets in a cloud-based environment with Adobe managed services (Amazon hosting). Our Adobe implementation team is having problems getting Adobe Drive to work in the hosted model. They recently told us that Adobe Drive is going to be retired and replaced with a Companion app.
Is anybody else successfully using Adobe Drive in the Amazon hosted model?
Is anybody else using Companion? How does it compare feature-wise?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Scott,
Formstack is one of the alternative options that Adobe suggests using. We do have a form importer that allows you to instantly build a form from any form URL out there. https://www.formstack.com/features/form-importer This will save you tons of time re-building forms in a new platform.
Hope this helps.

How do I get Apple to stand behind their warranty and replace my defective computer? The hard drive has been replaced twice, the track pad once, and other hardware issues. Can anyone help me so I can get Apple to replace my defective

My computer has been a lemon. They refuse to properly diagnose, fix, and document my complaints regarding the multiple failures I have had with this computer. Also, I was told that upon my logic board being replaced back in April or May that the topic of replacing the computer altogether with one of equal equipment would be appropriate. Insofar, I have been to the store at least three times in the past month to discuss my issues with the computer that were not resolved when the hard drive was replaced in May. I was also told that the repairs on my system would be good for up to 90 days after the repair work was done and that I could buy AppleCare at the end of the 90 days in lieu of insuring a product that still had defects. I have been on the phone for what feels like hours with Apple trying to work this issue out but they are not wanting to stand behind their product nor are they willing to stand behind their warranty. The warranty expressly states that a computer can be replaced entirely if the defect is considered hardware malfunction and at the representative’s discretion. Every time I brought it in for repair it was due to hardware malfunction; however, they also said once that it was an accessory that I bought that was causing the problem which ended up not being the case after all. This is totally unacceptable. I also asked Mark from AppleCare to let me know what was repaired the second time the computer was put through a diagnostic at the Apple Store. Beachballs, Gears, excessive heat, not being taken seriously at the Apple Store, being insulted by a Mac Genius at the Apple Store, being misinformed by a Mac Genius, dealing with a misinformed Mac Genius. They replaced my iPod touch without much ado. I was also accused by an Apple Genius of being "hyperbolic." He said this in response to my complaint of the computer melting--literally--items on my computer desk. I am either wanting a refund of my money or a replacement of my laptop. Also, I have lost an incredible amount of data on my computer due to the hard drive being replaced x 2. Not acceptable. Also, the Apple store is 1 hour from where I live. I am currently looking for employment and additionally have a legal case pending where I am the plaintiff. I have lost VERY important documents in both matters which has caused an extreme amount of stress. I do not need the added stress of an unreliable and unsafe computer. I also have been waiting for a call back from Kelly (left two voice messages with Kelly) and Mark (wrote an e-mail for which he has not responded to insofar) at Apple but have heard nothing from either one of them regarding the status of my computer. The only thing I received which was automated by the Apple Store was a confirmation that my computer was ready. I have requested documentation of what was done (basically, I am asking for the receipt) before I drive an hour to pick it up. Haven't heard anything. I brought this computer in on July 24, 2011. We are now upon August 2nd. When do I get to know what was even done on my computer? Do they really think that I am going to take back a computer into my possession only to have to bring it back shortly thereafter to address one of the many issues causing it to malfunction in the first place? I have owned 5 computers since 1988. All of them PCs. This is my first Mac. Will it be my last?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Drive Failure and Replacement

Hi - My 5th Gen 80gb hard drive gave in after around 20 months of use. Out of warranty, so purchased a replacement from ebay. Popped it inside and the iPod came back to life.
On trying to sync my music etc it seemed to take much longer than usual - 10 hours to sync 40gb of music. It would transfer so many songs then sort of freeze for a good bit with a particular song then start again.
I thought this was suspect so reformatted the drive (it came originally formatted for windows) and again took ages. Eventually got everything on after a full weekend. Now, upon using the ipod, random songs will stop and start, jump to the next track and videos/films etc stutter and stop.
I may be answering my own question here but I decided to do a surface scan of the drive using the latest version of Tech Tool Pro. Immediately it showed up bad sectors. Also this seemed to take forever to run and after 5 and a half hours it had only scanned around 1% of the drive. I decided to reformat again this time zeroing out the data using Disk Utility and again took forever - after running for 4 hours it said it still had 10 to go (at one point it reported time remaining as over 1 day). All the while the drive makes a not so healthy sounding clicking/crunching noise. After looking around on the net an 80gb drive should not take this long.
Have tried all this on both my own G4 and a MacBook Pro.
What I want to know is should I try and let zero out data run to try and mask the bad sectors? The seller informs me he tested the drive before dispatch and it was working fine. If I return he will test again however he doesn't have any spare to replace so would have to refund (although his page on ebay still shows 44 available!).
Really keen to get this iPod going again...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah - I'm beginning to wonder... At this rate I would have been as well getting a new iPod! Maybe that's why it packed in the week before the new iPods were released...
Strange however that it worked when I put the previous replacement drive in. That showed problems when I started to sync music etc - took forever and when I finally did things on it music and videos would stop and stutter.
I ran Tech Tool Pro on the drive and it took 7 hours to scan 1% of it showing up 260 bad sectors. I then tried to write zeros on it and that was also hopelessly slow. So I'm pretty sure that drive ws faulty. Now I've got this new drive I'm getting the battery problem.
There is no real reason why it broke in the first place. I use it every day and it has worked perfectly for the last 18-20 months. One night it was working, the next day wouldn't start up with the hard drive whirring and clicking as if trying to start up and then the sad iPod screen. I put it into diagnostic mode and everything pointed to the hard drive as that test would crash after giving garbled letters for the drive name.
When I was waiting on the new drive being delivered I did leave the iPod in a room that may have got pretty cold overnight with the case open - might this have damaged the battery?

Is it possible to move files from corrupted sectors hard drive to a replacement one?

My 2011 macbook pro was recently diagnosed with bad sectors. I am looking to get a replacement hard drive, probably a 750 or 1 tb Seagate SATA. Do you think that is sufficient? I do not play games or do anything memory intensive. The most I do is watch a lot of movies.
Also, is it possible to move files from a corrupted sectors hard drive to the replacement? If so, how would I go about doing this?
Also, for the operating system, it is probably wrong, and can't check since my Mac pro won't get past half way on the start up loading screen.

Try a sector copy with CCC and enable using checksum file copy to insure integrity.
Then Data Rescue 4 - try demo before buying
Do a full erase of a drive before reusing.
Invest in SoftRAID.com going forward as it "looks for" weak sectors, alerts.
Also Google around but SMART Utility has been mentioned as an excellent program/utility -
When a drive has used any of its spare blocks from when it ships is #1 indicator of being time to replace.
And of course always have multiple backup sets, methods and know how to use and restore from. Even do a practice set. I would not use just TimeMachine for instance.
And for some, only a mirror array (minimum two but really consider three drive mirror, with stripe reads to improve performance) can allow pulling one, add a new member and still have a two drive mirror.
Cloud storage for backup. With OneDrive and Facebook backing up all the photos on all your devices, Macs and PCs as well as tablets and phones, you can have 100-200GB quite easily. And there is Google Drive and Amazon as well as others.
A new data drive, a drive to do all the recovery of files that were on the failed drive(s), and probably a clean system drive and use that as you recover and build your system back up.

Corruption in text files retrieved through Adobe Drive on Mac

I am running an OpenCMIS based CMIS server on Mac. When viewing text files retrieved from the CMIS repository through Adobe Drive, there is nontextual content appearing at the end of the file. XCode, for example, ends up displaying this content as a variable number of '¿' characters. This is not just a visual problem as file comparisons between a file retrieved through Adobe Drive and the same file retrieved through other means detect the files as being different.
This is only happening with text files. Binary comparison of nontext files retrieved through Adobe Drive and files retrieved through other means detect the files identical.
This only occurs when the CMIS server is running on a Mac and Adobe Drive is running on a Mac. Adove Drive running on a Windows machine and connecting to this same CMIS server does not have this problem and vice versa.
This problem does not occur if I retrieve files through other CMIS clients.
Any help/resolution you could offer on this issue would be appreciated.

Having same issue. Using Indesign CC 2014.2 update, OS X 10.10.3 and any server using a smb, afp, or cifs connection.

How to uninstall Adobe Drive 4 for CS6 for Mac

I have Adobe CC on my system and also Adobe Drive 4.2 from CS6 time for some reason. adobe Drive was not removed when I removed CS6. The Adobe Drive 4.2 run fine at this time.
Now I want to uninstall Adobe Drive 4 from my Mac (running OSX 10.8.4), so I got to /Utiliies/Adobe Installer/Uninstall Adobe 4 and click to run it. The uninstaller won't run
I tried to go to /Library/Application Support/Adpbe/Adobe Drive 4 folder then click Uninstall Adobe Drive 4 from there. It won't run either.
So I'm stuck with Adobe Drive 4 and is there a method or way to remove it from my system manually?
I have tried Adobe Clean Tool but Adobe Drive 4 is not list there.
I tried to reinstall Adobe Drive 4 but it fail due to
Payload: Adobe Drive 4 4.0.0.0 {C3BC3DF1-83AB-4808-A672-474E15340D4B} -----------

The {C3BC3DF1-83AB-4808-A672-474E15340D4B}.app is not available in /Library/APplication Support/Adobe/Uninstall folder
Can any expert here help me get Adobe Drive 4 out of my system MANUALLY please. So that I can reinstall Adobe Drive 5. It fail to install and ask me to remove Adobe Drive 4 first.
Help please

Hi, and sorry that the uninstaller is having this problem there.
We haven't seen this problem internally, and would like to learn more about it so we can provide you with the best workaround.
Have you already tried using Apple's Disk Utility to repair permissions on that disk? If you haven't already, that's worth doing first before trying the steps below.
Here's one possible solution that could be faster than manual steps:
(1) install at least one qualifying CS6 app, if you have already replaced them all with CC versions. I believe not having a qualifying CS6 app is why your re-install of 4.2 failed earlier.
(2) re-install Adobe Drive 4.2
(3) reboot, and then uninstall Adobe Drive 4.2
In step 1, the qualifying CS6 app (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) can be in trial mode, but you shouldn't even need to launch it after installing it.
Did AD 4.2 uninstall successfully in step 3? If not, we'll dig deeper.

Mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

There wouldn't be enough room in the Mac Mini enclosure for 2 Fusion Drives since they are really just a SSD and a Platter HD working in conjunction. Could really be smoking in a 4 Drive RAID box though. I am speculating here but there is only 1 additional partition allowed in the Fusion Drive. My thought is that the current Management Software would get thoroughly confused with multiple partitions probably due to mount points not being able to register in a normal manner. IMHO the Fusion Drive is another crutch for the normal/average user that doesn't want to be bothered with file management protocols.

Windows 7 Control Panel won't uninstall Adobe Drive CS4

As I am now running Adobe CS6, I attempted to use the 'Uninstall or change a program' facility in the Windows 7 Control Panel to remove an entry labelled 'Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium'. In fact, all that currently remains under that heading is Adobe Drive CS4. The Uninstall process for Adobe Drive CS4 appears to be working but then ends with the following message.
Done
Some problems occurred while components were
being removed. Please see below.
However, nothing is shown below that message except an Exit button. The uninstall process has no effect no matter how many times it is run.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or which disk locations are relevant for a manual deletion?

Creative Cloud help says to uninstall CC apps on a Windows PC to do the following:
Open the Window Control Panel > Programs and Features
Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
Follow on-screen instructions
This information is NOT correct. Programs and Features does not contain all versions of Adobe software installed via Creative Cloud Desktop. It only shows the most current installation. Photoshop is a great example of why this is so. I currently have five versions of Photoshop installed through my Creative Cloud subscription. Windows has difficulty knowing which version to start, much less which to uninstall because the executable file for each version uses the same name--Photoshop.exe. In terms of designating which file types should be opened by which programs, the problem is equally evident. For example, setting current version Photoshop CC 2014 (version 15.1) as the program to open GIF files is not possible because Windows shows it's already done that with the designated program being Photoshop.exe. Of course, all other versions of Photoshop executable files use the name Photoshop.exe. So, it's not surprising that Windows is confused. But that does not help the rest of us.
The original questioner asked how they could get Windows Programs and Features to list CC applications. I don't think that's possible given the way Adobe has configured and named the executable files that Windows relies on. So, I'd add a question for Adobe: How do I uninstall versions of Photoshop and other CC applications that I no longer use. Programs and Features cannot help me--the programs simply are not listed. So, how does Adobe envision users uninstalling CC apps that don't appear in Programs and Features?

Adobe Drive 4 - log4j.xml settings ignored

I've been looking at Adobe Drive 4, both with our custom connector and the sample connectors, and I can't get any changes to the log4j.xml file to be honored. I can adjust the log level from the "Settings" panel of the Adobe Drive 4 Connect UI, but that has two major limitations: 1) It only goes to the "Info" level (there's no Debug or Trace), and 2) Only the com.adobe.* packages get logged
I'm editing the log4j.xml file in what I believe is the correct location for AD4 (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AD4ServiceManager\configuration).
I've added a logger for the sample connectors as described in the SDK documentation:
<logger name="sample">
      <level value="DEBUG" />
</logger>
I've also tried manually setting the Root Logger's Priority:
<root>
        <priority value="debug"></priority>
        <appender-ref ref="AdobeCSIDefaultAppender"/>
    </root>
But after doing this launching Drive, then using the FTP sample connector, no log messages for the connector ever get added to the log file. I know I'm looking at the correct log file because it gets updated with messages from the com.adobe classes.
As a test, I also added a call to a com.adobe Logger from within a FTP connector handler class, and it gets added just fine. For example, from within the sample FTP GetChildrenHadler:
Logger.getLogger(Path.class).info("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Appears in Log file
Logger.getLogger(GetChildrenHandler.class).info("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Does not appear in Log file
Is there something else I need to do to get AD4 to use the log4j.xml configuration?

Hi Jianfeng, thanks for your response.
I tried making only the change you suggested, but the result was the same.
I reverted back to the original log4j.xml (as installed), then replaced the com.adobe logger with the sample logger as you suggested (full file contents below). After making the change and restarting Adobe Drive, I still get the same behavior as I mentioned in my original post.
To recap (all of these test calls were put at the beginning of the FTP connector's GetChildrenHander.execute() method) :
Using a com.adobe logger, messages show up based on the Log Level setting in the Adobe Drive UI dialog:
Logger.getLogger(Path.class).debug("TEST MESSAGE") <-- Never appears in log file
Logger.getLogger(Path.class).info("TEST MESSAGE") <-- Appears if Log Level setting is Info
Logger.getLogger(Path.class).warn("TEST MESSAGE") <-- Appears if Log Level setting is Info or Warn
Logger.getLogger(Path.class).error("TEST MESSAGE") <-- Always appears
Using a sample package logger, only ERROR and FATAL-level messages show up, regardless of the Log Level setting in the Adobe Drive UI dialog. I assume this is because the Root logger threshold is fixed at ERROR level. For example:
Logger.getLogger(GetChildrenHandler.class).debug("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Does not appear in Log file
Logger.getLogger(GetChildrenHandler.class).info("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Does not appear in Log file
Logger.getLogger(GetChildrenHandler.class).warn("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Does not appear in Log file
Logger.getLogger(GetChildrenHandler.class).error("TEST MESSAGE"); <--- Appears in Log file
Thanks for your help,
Brian (aka GoColts)

Adobe Drive 3.0 and Sharepoint 2010

Have the Adobe Drive/Sharepoint 2010 interoperability issues been resolved?

Are you still interested in Creative Suite <-> Adobe Drive <-> MS SharePoint integration? Do you have SharePoint configured with CMIS? I’m not sure which specific issues you’re referring to, but there are a number of known integration issues (for example, check out functionality not working) that are being looked into by MS (confirmed that the check out issue and a number of others are ones they need to resolve). I do not have an ETA yet as to when an update with fixes will be released.

Guide to connect Adobe drive with Alfresco CE

Hallo everybody!
Since adobe remove version cue, i search for a replacement. Can somebody please write a short guide how to configurate Alfresco CE to optimal work with adobe drive? Its drive me creasy, bljad! I think, i am not alone with this problem. Feel free to write here everethink, you found about it. Together we find a solution, i think.
The interest were (after connect Adobe drive to Alfresco CE):
- how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?
- how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?
- in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)
- how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)
Thanks to everybody for suggestions and help!
Adobe drive 2.1
Alfresco CE 3.4

Hi Borisbritva,
To work with Adobe Drive, you just need to install and launch Alfresco CE server. No special configuration.
Section 'Using the CMIS Connector' in CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc shows the detailed steps on how to connect Alfresco server with Adobe Drive 2.1. Below is the link for the tech note:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/adobedrive/CMIS_Connector_Tech_Note.pdf
For "how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?" & "how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?", I think you need to read Alfresco Document ( http://www.alfresco.com/resources/documentation/ ). For simply try, use admin account to connect Alfresco Server with Adobe Drive. CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc gives the detail info about how to browse, check in, and check out files.
For "in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)", Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector doesn't support it. But Adobe Drive has exposed API to retrieve thumbnails of files. If you have interest, you can download Adobe Drive SDK ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobedrive/eula_21.html ) and try it.
For "how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)", Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector support it. Just replace 'localhost' with you external IP address in Server URL when connect to Alfresco server.
Thanks,
Hui

IMac...hard drive, optical drive, logic board replaced...

Hi everyone...Just wanted to post for general info, sympathizers, etc...I had multiple problems with my optical drive (watching/playing/burning dvds cds, etc) and spent an obscene amount of time with tech for the better part of two weeks. Something another user properly coined "the spinning color wheel of death" would also show its ugly face more than usual for long periods of time. Optical drive replaced - same problem. Archive and Install, failed. Erase and install, failed. I spoke with many product specialists and more than a couple were whiny babies who would rather argue with me than help me solve the problem. Then I spoke to this one guy who cut through all the bs and told me he would send someone to replace the hard drive, optical drive and logic board (just in case). That done, the install disk failed again(disk is unscratched). Now they're sending me a new install disk set. No computer for 3 weeks now. As disgusted as I am, Apple support was redeemed by that one product specialist. Anyways, has anyone had this many problems? How much money is Apple willing to spend (replacement parts, onsite repair, labor, phone time) before they replace a computer? It seems that good support is all luck of the draw...tbc.

It seems to me that you pretty much have a new computer, all your components have been replaced
That being said, I have had all the same things, with the exception of the hard drive, thank goodness, replaced under Apple Care without any complaining. I also have a new PSU. The trick is to get the original tech who first responds to your call to kick you up to a specialist, who usually knows more than I do and is willing to work with me. I find that once I reach this level, or one above, they understand the problem and realize that messing around with archive and installs is not the answer.
By the way, what you call the spinning color wheel of death is affectionately know as SBOD which is the spinning beach ball of death, or SPOD, the spinning pizza of death.
Hope this makes you feel better,
Miriam

Photoshop CS6 not allowing Check In with Adobe Drive 4.2 & AEM 5.6 DAM

I have just started to set up a AEM DAM for my design team to utilize. While it worked exactly as expected on one team member's computer, I am having some problems. I can only check items in or out through Bridge CS6. With both PS and Illustrator the "Check In" menu item is greyed out. Also, when I open a file in PS from the DAM, it doesn't automatically check the item. I've seen it work fine on a cowokers computer with a seemly similar setup. Any ideas?
Mac 10.7.5
PS CS6
Bridge CS6
Adobe Drive 4.2
CQ 5.5 and AEM 5.6 (same thing on both)
Thanks in advance!

In order for the Check In menu item to appear in the supported CS apps., the asset must be opened and a change must be made (it will then automatically be checked out).

AAMEE 3.1 deploying Adobe Drive 5

Hello
The documentation for Adobe Drive 5.0 says to use AAMEE 3.1 for deployment however when i try i get a valid installer could not be found.
I have the Adobe Drive 5.0 dmg mounted.
This worked fine for Adobe Drive 4
Any ideas?
Thanks

This doesn't work on OSX 10.7 10.8 and 10.9 for Adobe Drive 5 using aamee 3.1. I also get the message a valid installer could not be found. It worked fine on my Windows 7x64 machine.
Was your issue resolved markc0?
I just noticed that when i run the Adobe Drive 5 installer it wants to install adobe drive at the following location
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Drive 4
So i looked at the AdobeDrive5-mul.install.xml contents
<Deployment>
<Properties>
    
    <Property name="INSTALLDIR">/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Drive 4</Property>
    <Property name="installLanguage">cs_CZ</Property>
    <!--The set of valid languages includes:
cs_CZ
da_DK
It installs just fine when running outside AAMEE and i don't think the install location matters but just wanted to point it out as this is the only discrepancy i could find.
