Open another app from iBooks

I am making a textbook for my students using iBooks Author. I would like to create a link that opens another presentation app (Qwiki) for further information. Every time I make a hyperlink, iBooks puts http:// in front of the link, which will not allow the Qwiki app to open.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think you're stuck w/http://, sorry.

I can't open the store from ibook! Help!

After the last ios update can't open the store from ibook!

Have you tried closing the iBooks app via the multitasking bar and seeing if you can open the store when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Opening another iview from an iview in the same page ....

Hello ....
I need to open another iview from an existing one in the same page without overwriting the other existing iviews on the page. I am using EPCM.doNavigate() as given below
EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/com.hersheys.Hershey_Content/com.hersheys.Human_Resources/com.hersheys.hr.sap_mss_iviews/EmployeeExit?SCENARIO_PARAMS=PERNR='+person,0);
The iview does open in the same page, however i lose the other iviews on the top and bottom of the page ....
Any pointers??
Thanks,
Devina

Hi Devina,
Try using IUrlGeneratorService to generate the URL to the required iView, instead of EPCM.doNavigate().
doNavigate sometimes refreshes the whole page while loading the required iView.
cheers

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

Open "project.app" from "project.osx"

Hi everyone,
I created a Director splash using Director MX2004 on WindowsXP. I published my project for Mac ("project.osx"). I also have a seperate project created in Flash CS4 that was published for Mac ("project.app"). Using buddyAPI, I cannot open "project.app" from a button used on "project.osx". Is this even possible to do? I cannot find any type of documentation on this issue...
thank you in advance for your help.
Rafael.

Well.... I figured it out. I changed my delimiter to ":" for Mac (instead of "\"). Also, I was NOT telling it to open "project.app", I was telling it to open "project.osx".

Opening an app from an url + parameters

Is there a way to open an app from an url with parameters and read those parameters?

Now, i am using Flash pro to create my app, once packed it's tricky to mess up with the contents, is there a file i can edit, before rendering the app? for example is this something i can add in an xml file that is created in my app folder?
It starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4">
    <id>appID</id>
    <versionNumber>3.0</versionNumber>
    <filename>filename</filename>

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

Launch another app from Siena app

As it's not possible to launch a map in Siena, I'm hoping that I can pass an address out of Siena to the native Maps app in Windows 8. Is that possible? I can't find any documentation on how to open other apps from my app.

Nice,
Now we can launch browser, Skype, bing maps
Sidenote: You need then to be sure that the user has the map app (or Skype) installed and all associations are correct. So at least best to write it in the prerequisites when moving to the app store.
If you just want to add maps, you can also insert them directly in the app as static maps. I've explained that in
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/45b2ffe3-4d57-4b4c-94a4-75d299a03e62/how-to-add-a-bing-map-with-pins-to-a-siena-project?forum=projectsiena
The interactive nature is not present of course
Or you could use the static google map api

How to open Facebook app from within app

Both on iOs and Android, how do you open another app, for example facebook?

No. Windows Store apps cannot directly open other apps. Launching protocols out files into the default handlers is the only option.
This launch can only be done while the app is on the foreground. You're probably calling this too early. Wait for the app to be fully initialized and running.

Xcode question. Need to open an app from clicking a button! Please help!!!!

Hello, I am new to this forum so sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I'm trying to make a simple Xcode app, so that when people click a button, it will open another app, such as an AppleScript, which will run a code in Terminal. So for instance, click "Make my Mac speak" Then it would open the AppleScript and Terminal would pop open and run the code " say Hello, my name is Macintosh". Thats just an example of what I'm trying to do. Please can someone help me. I don't need help with the AppleScript part, just getting Xcode to open the AppleScript. Thank you!

Its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

I have a med app on iphone that i want to open on mac to study. since it have small letters and a lot of stuff, it would be much easier if i open it on mac.
So, its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

No. The iPhone and Mac are totally different hardware architecture. Software compiled for one will not run on the other.

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

If I open another URL from my homepage, the "go back one page" button is grayed out so I can't get back to my home page.

This problem only started recently.
Opening another web page (URL) from my homepage always opens in the same tab and the "go back one page" button is gray and does not work. If I open a series of web pages in the same tab the green "back" button is green. Clicking on the "recent pages" down arrow will allow me to go back, but only to the page after the home page.
In other words, after browsing, I can get back to the opening page (my home page) only by clicking on the house icon but not by using the "recent pages" function.
Is there an option that changed after the last update?

Do you see any tab history if you right click the Back or Forward button?

How to open text app from text alert in iOS 8?

I have an issue. When I'm in another app and I get a text alert, I have the option to reply or to close. It I click "reply" it does a quick reply box, but you don't have the choice to go directly to the text app. If someone sends you two msgs back to back, you only see the last one, so if you missed #1, you can't see it unless you close the quick reply and manually go to the text app. Is there a way around this? Can you swipe or hold or anything to go from the alert to the text app itself? I'm tearing my hair out here. I like the new iOS 8 aside from this. What if you're browsing Facebook or Twitter while waiting on a text, someone sends two in a row, you only get an alert for the second one, and you can't see the first one unless you close out and go back to the text app. Any help would be appreciated!

Chris: Thanks for the response. Is there any way you can set up to keep banners up until you dismiss them or will they always disappear? I love my alerts, I just don't like it that I can't go directly to the app anymore..
