Replace "static" Entitlement banner with "slideshow" Entitlement banner in html implementation of default library v3

I'm currently in the process of updating an existing Enterprise DPS App. I'm using the online "DPS Configurator" to create an updated iOS7-style HTML implementation of the default library (v3). I also want to implement the DPS Configurator's Slideshow entitlement banner. Is there any documentation on replacing the static entitlement banner with slideshow entitlement banner for the custom HTML implementation? Or is it one or the other? If I can incorporate both, do I have to manually replace static with slideshow banner in code (via DreamWeaver) or will it replace when I go to App Builder. I should also mention that this isn't a true entitlement App, I'm just using Ivan Mironchuck's article... Adding HTML banners to non-entitlement apps | Adobe Developer Connection "fake out" technique to include an entitlement banner in the first place on existing v1 of our current app. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your quick reply Derek. My follow up question is how is TopGear Magazine achieving the iOS7 look on their library along with what looks like the slideshow Entitlement banner? Am I over-thinking things here? If I simply want the brighter iOS7 look for my library is Viewer v31 like this right out of the box then?

Trouble with slideshow.

First of all thanks to all of you who read this forum and
take time to help those of us that are having trouble.
I built a slide show with the command menu. I got the three
files, the "index.html","player_blsc.swf", and the "scripts"
folder. I saved all of these into a sub folder for the page I am
building.
I then imported this slideshow into dreamweaver with the
import command. That all went fine.
When I preview the page in my browser, I get the slideshow,
but no images. I get the same thing if I "play" the filein
dreamweaver.
I am out of idea and seariously need som help! Here is my
file structure in dreamweaver.
sitename (root)
|
- page 1
|
- image albums (contains the pictures for this page)
- page images (contains sliced images form fireworks to
build the page)
- slideshow files (contains all of the files for the
slideshow I am trying to build)
- pagename.html (actual html page)
|
- page2
|

I fixed it! I am a newbie here so you will have to forgive my
inexperience.
For those of you that might run into this same problem here
is the answer.
All of the files for your slide show need to be in the same
folder with the html file that is actually your page.
Example;
Below is a file structure for a "website"
Lets say you want to put a slide slow on the "photos" page.
If you are using fireworks slide show creator, it will
generate 3 files and a number of folders.
The folders will be the folders that contain the images it
will display on the slide show.
It will also make a new folder called "scripts"
Okay, so lets say your slide show will have two "albums". In
one album there are pictures of boats and the other album there are
pictures of sunsets. So, in fireworks you will name the the albums
"boats" and "sunsets". Fire works will create the folders called
"boats" and "sunsets". Along with the other files.
So here are the files you will end up with,
slideshow.xml (file)
index.html (file)
show_black.swf (this is the flash file that you will install)
boats (folder)
sunsets (folder)
So, however many folders you end up with is determined by how
many albums you create. If you have 3 albums, you will have 4 new
folders (don't forget about the scripts folder)
Okay, hopefully you got all of that! And now we can move on.
Below is a web page file structure. Where you place these
files and folders is very important! You must place them on the
same "level" as you page, they can't be in a subfolder on that
page. Here is an example,
Mywebpage (folder containing your site, or your root folder.)
|
home page (your index page)
......page images (folder)
......home.html
|
photos
.....page images (folder)
.....photos.html
|
contact
....page images (folder)
....contact.html
Lets say you want to put this slideshow on the page "photos".
But you want ot build a page and have the slideshow display as part
of your page and not just as a standalone with nothing else on it.
Here is how I did it the first time and it did not work. I will use
the example from above.
Mywebpage (folder containing your site, or your root folder.)
|
home page (your index page)
......page images (folder)
......home.html
|
photos
....page images (folder)
....photos.html
....slide show files (folder)
...........show_black.swf
...........index.html
...........slideshow.xml
...........boats (folder)
...........sunsets (folder)
contact
....page images (folder)
....contact.html
As you can see the slideshow files are located in a subfolder
called slideshow files. Thay are not in the same folder as the
photo.html files. This causes the slide show not to work because it
is looking in the wrong folder for the files.
Now, put the files like the example below to make your slide
show work.
Mywebpage (folder containing your site, or your root folder.)
|
home page (your index page)
......page images (folder)
......home.html
|
photos
....page images (folder)
....photos.html
....show_black.swf
....index.html
....slideshow.xml
....boats (folder)
....sunsets (folder)
contact
....page images (folder)
....contact.html
As you can see the slideshow files are no longer in the sub
folder. They are in the same folder as the pages html file. I know
it is not as oganized looking but this is the only way I found to
make the slideshow appear inside another page. Good luck with your
pages. If you need more help post here or email me and I will see
if I can help.

I had a generic record class that has a HashMap to hold the data fields (...)
method called createRecord() for each record type which would populate the HashMap with the correct data fieldsI'm not sure I understand: are the contents of this field map the same between two records of the same type? Then yes, you don't need to clone the map per record instance.
one thing that needs fixing is the fact that each time the createRecord() method is called I'm creating a new fieldMap to define the dataFields in the record class.Probably, but that will only get you a little bigger files; you won't gain an order of magnitude on the size of files. The problem for huge files is that as soon as their content is bigger than the available memory, you'll run into problems. A more radical approach if you need to address huge files is to process the records on the fly, and not load all records in memory. Of course not all algorithms or business logic can afford that...
I know I could rewrite the code and create a class for each record type and declare the fieldMap static but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions The Record instance could receive and keep a reference to its RecordType instance, and ask the RecordType instance the DataType for a field's name. That way the RecordType encapsulates the map, and there's less risk that a clumsy other class modifies the static map.
before I go rewriting a load of code.A load of code?!? Even with the idea of the static map, you only have to edit the enum type (well more accurately, each RecordType enumerated constant's createRecord() method).

Synch playlist with slideshow

Am trying to synch music with slideshow. Created a playlist in iTunes, edited start times to give only portion of each song. When playing playlist in iTunes works as expected, only designated portions of songs play. In iPhoto select the playlist, but entire songs play. How do I get the slide show to play partial songs?
Using iTunes 8 and iPhoto 6.
- Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those start and stop times in iTunes works only in iTunes. If you want to use only portions of a track use Garageband or an 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro.
An alternative would be to export the iPhoto slideshow without music and import it into iMovie 6 where you can add the audio tracks, crop them, fade in and out and overlap if desired as see in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Problem playing selected music with slideshow

Hi
I am having trouble playing music with slideshows since updating to iphoto 6. I can see all my playlists and I am able to select the playlist I want and this will play in the 'play music during slideshow' window. However, when I play the slideshow I receive an error message telling me that 'the music you have selected can't be found or can't be opened'.
This has only been a problem since updating and it doesn't matter what playlist I choose - they will all play in both iTunes and the selection screen for the slideshpw but not actually with the slideshow (the play music with slideshow box is ticked).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am about to throw my mac out the window.

Static Charge Icon with cycling noise from harddrive.

The apple logo appears, there is a repetitive cycling noise from the harddrive and eventually the sad face icon appears. If it is plugged in my USB port, a static battery icon with a lightning bolt appears. It stays there for about three minutes and cylces through the apple log/sad face again. If I plug it into a wall charger, no battery icon appears, just the apple log/sad face & noise.
None of the 5 R's helps.
This is my third unit through warranty

The Sad iPods icon, clicking sound or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
There are also some cases being reported that some unrecognized iPod being able to be erased with Linux, then reconnect the iPod with the original computer and do a Restore there.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10. Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
11. Put your iPod in disk mode and plug with a computer, and have a boot of your computer using the Mac OS or XP startup disks, hope that your iPod will be seen on Mac's Disk utility and allow you to do a Erase there. Or, under the XP, you will be able to find your iPod there for you to do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

How to replace typewriter (straight) apostrophe with typographic (curly) apostrophe?

I have a manuscript I got off the Internet that has a bunch of isn?t's and wasn?t's and the like—due, I assume, to some miscommunication between MS Word's automatic curly quotes and the ASCII limits of ISO Latin 1. I tried doing a find-and-replace to put typographic apostrophes in place of the question marks. Pages found the question marks and put typewriter apostrophes in place of them, though I'd carefully entered a typographical apostrophe ((opt-shift-]) in the Replace field. So I tried again, to replace the typewriter apostrophes with typographical apostrophes. Pages now replaced the few typographical apostrophes I'd manually entered with typewriter apostrophes. Well, at least it's consistent. So far as Pages, Apple's flagship word-processing/page-layout app is concerned, there's apparently no such thing as a typographical apostrophe—something that was understood, as I recall, by the original MacWrite 25 years ago. So do I have to go back to doing all my editing in TextEdit (which seems to be much better at text work than Pages), or can somebody tell me how to persuade Pages to take care of this trifling little task correctly?

Copy these two paragraphs into a Pages WP document:
When you?re sleep deprived… parental control of baby?s sleep… meet baby?s needs consistently… respond to baby?s cries…
"Parents should recognize that having their babies cry unnecessarily harms the baby permanently," Commons said. "It changes the nervous system so they?re overly sensitive to future trauma."
Open the Find & Replace dialog. Enter Find: ? and Replace: ’ (opt-shift-}). (I.e. replace question mark with typographical apostrophe.) Click Replace All. It should say 5 Replaced. Check any of the replacements by enlarging the type; you’ll see an ASCII apostrophe ['] rather than the requested typographical version [’].
Then enter Find: " (space-") and Replace: “ (space-opt-[), and click Replace All. It will say 1 Replaced, meaning the quote mark preceding "It" in the second sentence (the only quote mark preceded by a space). Enlarge the replacement to see it clearly; it's replaced an ASCII " with another ASCII ".
So far as I can tell, Pages’ Find-Replace function can't tell the difference between ASCII apostrophe/quote marks and the typographical versions. Maybe it will once you turn on smart quotes in preferences; I haven't tried that -- but then of course you'd get smart quotes when you don't want them, for instance for something to be posted on an Internet forum, which often doesn't understand them. (The problems above and similar, often seen on the 'Net, are due to MS Word's having smart quotes on by default, so unaware users compose material with them and send it out over teh Interwebz, where they sometimes come through correctly, sometimes don't.)
Try the same experiment in TextEdit; you'll get the requested typographical versions. And so I did, then copied the text back to Pages. Like I said, kinda shoddy for Apple's Pride & Joy word processor. AppleWorks, by the way, does it right.

Replace one itunes account with another

I have the itunes application downloaded on my laptop but i recently made another itunes account and i want the new one to be on the Itunes application. So i uninstalled the application thinking that if i downloaded it again it would ask me for an account. Except all it did was restore the old account. I am wondering if anyone knows how to replace one itunes account with another. If you know anything that can be useful comment.

Store > Sign Out
Store > Sign In
All purchases remain tied to the account used to buy them, but you can authorize iTunes to multiple accounts and put protected content from up to five on your devices. Generally best to stick to one account if possible. More so once you get to iOS devices as managing app updates over multiple devices is a chore.

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
All newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
Procedure
1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
c) Save the file.
d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
f) Log in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
RequestCenter_0.properties
RequestCenter_1.properties
RequestCenter_2.properties
RequestCenter_3.properties
RequestCenter_4.properties
RequestCenter_5.properties
RequestCenter_6.properties
RequestCenter_7.properties
5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
699=General Inbox
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
String ID File Name
0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
7. Restart RequestCenter.
Your customized text should be displayed.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem? My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine. I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected? That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
How is your network configured? Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary. If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router. If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation. The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router. But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.
