Is it risky to start a online business using quicktime player?

I am starting a business with video on the internet, but after doing my research I find that most people have the flash player on their browsers and many would have to download the 30mb+ file filling out forms etc just to view the video content on my pages. I realise that h264 video is supreme, but there is a problem if people have a hard time getting quicktime on their computers. Any advice?

It's probably a lot more work for you, but I'd offer the content in several options. Quicktime, Flash and WMV. IMO, it's important to keep QT as part of what you offer. If everyone caves to providing only Flash or WMV, then QT will continue to be the underdog.
I think the reality is that there are still more PC's than Macs out there, but it's a great statement for a site to offer QT along with the rest.

ITunes 10 won't start in Windows Vista, but QuickTime Player will.

I recently had iTunes updated to iTunes 10 using Apple Software Update.
After the update was done, iTunes 10 worked well.
Then just earlier, I tried to start iTunes, but it won't.
No system message appears meaning there is no error.
I tried rebooting my computer and running iTunes again, but still no effect.
Anybody found a solution to this?

Good gracious. Okay, I've seen reports that uninstalling the utility resolves the BonJour Service issues. But it might be possible to configure it so it doesn't interfere with BonJour. (I haven't tried that with anyone else yet, so this is going to be experimental.)
I see from IOBit's description of the utility that it has some security functions:
http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscarepro.html
Are you able to switch the security functions off? If so, with the security functions switched off, are you able to launch iTunes when the BonJour Service has been enabled?

My Mac keeps freezing in the middle of applications (most notable Safari) requiring me to shut down and restart. It also freezes during video playback (online and using Quicktime). Do I need to wipe and reinstall OS? I'm thinking I have a virus........

Please help!! It's driving me nuts. I've reinstalled the OS via the disc about 3 times so far, but haven't yet erased the drive (and am seriously considering doing so). I barely have any files on my HD because I run everything off of external drives (after losing a TON of stuff after my Mac crashed in the first 3 months of having it). I bought the computer in 2007 and was running Tiger. I passed on Leopard but gave in for Snow Leopard because I wanted an iPhone and iPad. When I installed SL, I had to reformat the HD and made it Journaled......it's been acting ******** ever since.

First you don't have a virus because none exist for OS X. So you can stop worrying about hat. If you recently got a warning about a Virus and accepted downloaded some software then you fell for a Trojan. Here is an article about that and how to rid yourself of it.
If you did not download anything like that then doing a Erase and Install would be the way to go. Here is a video that will show you exactly what to do.

How can I make my online business work for customers with iPads?

I have an online business where I sell MP3s (my own recordings, all very legal). What is the easiest way that my customers can download my products to their iPads and iPhones? This is an increasing problem as more people purchase products from me using their iOS devices.

I selected the one I posted because it starts out with the sentence; "Purchasing via phone applications are becoming a phenomenal process in the mobile driven world." That sounded like what you were asking for to me.

UWL: The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace?

Hi All
Please assist I am currently trying to execute the standard leave request approval within the UWL.
This is the standard leave approval screen for workflow template WS12300111.
I get the below error in a SAP ECC easy web screen.
The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace
Message no. HRTIM_ABS_REQ066
Can anyone give me any insight to this as I have made multiple changes tothe UWL config.
Regards
Maahir

BY seeing the error message I think you might have not registered the task in the Portal, as you are have mentioned easy web screen
1. When ever you are trying to execute the workitem from the UWL and you are able to See the SBWP SAP inbox in the browser then it means that the task of the workflow is not registered in the portal.
2. Please ask your portal team to register the task in UWL with corresponding visualization parameters.
[check for the parameters that are to be configured|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/f0c82c9f6748c58d9ea14b3bbed93a/frameset.htm]
You cannot execute a leave workitem from the Inbox. if you try to execute then it prompts the error message that you have mentioned.
Try to do check all the below points.
1. Check whether the task TS12300097 is registered in the SWFVISU txn it should be using a Java Application. with the parameters
APPLICATION     LeaveRequestApprover
DYNPARAM     wi_id=${item.externalId}
PACKAGE     sap.com/ess~lea
2. Second thing is make the task as General Task from the PFTC txn. so that the agent can approve
3. Ask the portal guys to register this task in the XML file where all the application specific task's are registred. and then try to execute the workitem, this time it will show you the leave request application.

Looking into starting a business using creative cloud and business catalyst

Hi,
I am just looking for a bit of clarification on a few things. I am looking at using Creative cloud and Business Catalyst for a new business.
Firstly, if I have both a Mac and a PC, will one creative cloud subscription allow me to install on both?
Secondly, with Business Catalyst if I am wanting to make more than 5 websites, do I have to use the partner plan? or is this just if I want to make comission? Basically can I pay individually for subscriptions to more than 5 sites on behalf of customers without paying the initial partner fee while I am starting up? Obviously long term the partner option makes sense but short term for start up it would be useful to just sell the adobe subscriptions without earning comission. Hope this makes sense?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
I'm very happy to hear that you want to start a business using BC and Creative Cloud - this is one of the goals of our integration.
To you first question, yes, you can install Creative Cloud on both your machines.
To your second question - you don't need to be a paid partner while you're starting up. You can remain a free partner, and just buy supplemental websites from the Partner portal. You're right, you won't get the comission, but it's a pretty good deal anyway.
If you're starting up, I also strongly recomment the BCGurus "Zero to BC Hero" training program - not only they explain you the BC product, but they also include a lot of great business insights on running a web agency
Sincerely,
Alexandru

Tutorials for starting with SAP Business Objects Explorer: Excel / Crystal

Hello,
we want to start with SAP Business Objects Explorer. I have been searching for tutorials for while without success.
Are there any tutorials or documentation that shows how to work with excel-files as data source or how to upload Crystal reports files (.rpt) to the Explorer?
Thanks in advance for helpful hints.
Best regards,
André

As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

Online Business Builder Question

Why is the "Import your current website in minutes and build it yourself from there" radio button disabled on the Online Business Builder?

Has nothing over using it.
A partner introduces BC as a concept, their build what they will do for them and the cost.
The client goes looks into BC, does not know the web, presses a couple of buttons and enters their site and their site is in BC.
In a very terrible and not correct way but to them, its there. They go pages, make some changes and you loose a sale.
It Imports in a very basic - fetch the rendered html way into pages, nothing else and that really is a very BAD place or someone to work from developing what is likely supposed to be a new site/ new version of the site using BC and if your doing that your looking to utilise the features and do the site better.
So from a business standpoint it makes a sale if they find this that much harder.
As a passionate web designer and developer who strives not only for web standards but good code, optimised and amazing looking websites that function well and do a great job in terms of useability, perfomance, SEO and more... Things like this I do not like for a vast amount of reasons.
Brad I do have to disagree with you in terms of the quicker and more efficient element, this tool certanly does not do that.

Starting a New Business - Is Apple the logical choice?

I will be starting my own business shortly and have a dilemma about Apple. I use a mac at home but have always used a pc in work. I'd like to use Apple in the new business (it is in design etc.) but the cost is so much more than pc. Also I am not 100% sure if the ongoing support in Ireland is as strong for Apple as it is for pc. My head is saying stay with pc for work but my heart Apple.
Has anyone started a small company and used Apple? What were your experiences, how robust is the system in a world dominated by PC and MS? Was the extra cost at the beginning offset by savings later etc.?

Firts of all, as I'm sure you know, this is not the place to come for an unbiassed opionion But you will get some good technical answers.
Secondly, Microsoft Office is the de facto standard in the business world and there are very few (if any) cross platform issues that will trouble you if you use that suite. Will you be using other apps apart from Office?
Thirdly, and most relevant to your question, Foilpan is right. As a business owner/operator you sould look at the total cost of ownership over entire the life of the computers, rather than just the initial setup costs. You should factor is at least the following:
1. initial purchase & setup
2. ongoing secturity & antivirus prevention
3. likely downtime to security issues
4. cost of regular software updates
5. support costs for issues that you cannot resolve yourself
Particularly because of points 2 - 5 your TCO is likely to be much lower with Macs.
For point 1, don't forget to compare apples with apples (small a)... it is very easy to look at a PC ad, see the low price and miss the fact it has no sound card, awful video card, low processor speed, terrible battery life, no firwire, no productivity software, etc.
I have worked for years in companies that 'should' have PC's because they are not in the 'design world' but use Macs. I count myself lucky. Tellingly none of these business have considered switching to PC, even though many of their clients and customers were on PC.
Over the last few years Apple had become more and more viable in an SMB environment and I think you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by going with Apple.

How can I create a Online Store using Muse? (with not Business Catalyst)

How can I create a Online Store using Muse with not Business Catalyst for example three services
_ttps://orders.self-pub.net/checkout.php?m=fastcheckout
_ww.self-pub.net/services/covers.html

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option stand alone in Muse to create an online store. However if any hosting plan uses CMS feature like Business Catalyst and ecommerce using modules and tags, you can use the same proceedure as for Business Catalyst and integrate that system and host the Muse site on their platform and that would work.
There is other thing that you can try is, Insert HTML codes to link the pages and some contents in Muse to your desired CMS. What you can also do is after you create the site in Muse, you can export the Muse site and get the layout and design of your site and copy paste the codes for pages with some HTML and coding skills to integrate with your desired hosting.
Hope this helps.

Rajan

I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or Flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching it and replacing it with a competitors product

I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching an expensive toy for a competitors product that offers full business functionallity. Is there any way round this ? It seems extremely bad form on apples part not to support this or make it very clear of the products limitations at the time of purchase.

Well, my bank has an app but the website does not use Flash or Java. While my credit union doesn't have an app, their website doesn't require Flash or Java either.
I pay all my bills online, bank, and access my brokerage accounts. None of the sites I have encountered require Flash or Java. Some government sites do require Flash so I use Photon, it's a browser that does Flash content very well. So you might check out some alternatives browsers.
Otherwise I suppose you will either dump you bank, your iPad, or just not do online banking.

How do you restrict web browsing to view only specified sites for business use?

Hello, I need to restrict the use of Firefox and Internet Explorer to only specified websites that we use for business use.
I have a problem with a number of employees using unauthorized and dangerous websites that have put my business computers at risk.
Since it is impossible to police the employees viewing habits in real time, I need to restrict the viewing. How do I set up a list of only allowed sites that can only be overridden by admin privileges despite user accounts?

You will have to block such unwanted sites in a firewall or router or proxy and only allow access via that proxy.<br />
All other ways can easily circumvented, by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]] if it is an extension or by using a portable Firefox version.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Can i use adobe reader for business use?

i'm starting a computer repair business and need adobe reader for lots of pdf documents and was wandering if i can use adobe reader for business use?

Before trying to answer your question, a bit of advise: don't post your email address in a public forum such as this, as you did in the message above. I am answering to the one before that, so that you may remove your address from your last message.
As to your question, the short and frank answer is "I don't know". The long answer is that I still don't see where the free Reader comes in your making some money. For backing up files, one does not need the program used to create or open them; one can just copy and paste them, without even opening them. And while one does need Reader or Acrobat to open the PDF files and then print them, in the eyes of this complete ignorant of the pertinent laws even in my own country, you would be fully justified if you charged for your time and for the use of your computer and your printer. As I understand things, many print shops (those using presses, not printers) print from PDF files provided by their clients without even needing to ask Adobe for permission to do so.
Let's hope that someone with a better knowledge of the legal aspects of this matter reads your question.
