Right product for me

Hi
I am looking for a product for the business which allows all our staff to access our photos.
We'd need to be able to search and add metadata easily. Facial recognition would be nice but not essentail.
Thanks

ATV is good, but MY GOD, does Apple keep shooting themselves in the foot! The lack of being able to play VIDEO_TS folders is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! This would simply be a software update, but Apple feels that in some way, their precious iTunes Store would be compromised with lower sales!
NEWS UPDATE: If somebody is going to steal movies, they will find a way, regardless of how many roadblocks you put in their path. You will generally realize that, if someone steals movies, they will NEVER buy movies. It's just who they are. So why cripple a great product that thousands of honest users will use for a small percentage of people?
Apple still doesn't get it. These "Living Room" Media players are the future, and the quicker somebody gets it right, the quicker they will "OWN" the Living Room! Apple, with its iTunes Store, and ATV, are positioned to become the leader, but they keep screwing up! Jobs, get your head out of the sand, and open up the ATV to be what everybody wants it to be! I guarantee you will triple your sales overnight. Allow the USB to connect an external drive. Allow the ATV to talk to a NAS, just like a Mac Mini can. Make it so the ATV does not have to have a computer NOT in standby to work. 160GB HD is a joke! I have no problem with having that as the internal drive, but good god man, in today's world, let it talk to a NAS. If you are a movie lover, you NEED the higher capacities.
Anybody reading this, go to www.kaleidescape.com. This is the ULTIMATE movie system in the world PERIOD! Problem is, very expensive! $20,000 Plus! I sell these. Here is the funny thing though. The ATV, with a few Software modifications, could essentially do the same thing. Apple needs to contact somebody in my industry (Custom Home Theatre & Automation), pay them a consulting fee, so that they can get the computer minded engineers to think "OUT OF THE BOX".

Is this the right product for me?

Hi All
Just considering Contribute and was wondering if this is the right product for my needs.
I've built a web site and need to add a retrofit CMS type function to some pages.
There's news, products and general page editing.
I can see News being straightforwards in Ct but not sure about the rest. It appears that an editor requires Ct whether they want to edit in a browser or not. Is this the case? Sort of defeats the purpose for browser editing doesn't it?
Any comments are much appreciated.
Thanks

ARD will not allow you print from your home system to your printers at work either. You could transfer the documents from your home system to your work system and then print, but you don't need ARD for that. File sharing, for transferring the documents, and the Screen Sharing built into Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 to take control of the work computer, would be all you need and wouldn't cost you anything additional.
If, however, you need the ability to "curtain" the screen at work, then you would need ARD. Another, somewhat less expensive, option would be Timbuktu.

Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls. After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url. Need help.

Hi
Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

Pallavi,
Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

Right product for brochures and logos

Hi, I'm a CC photoshop single product licensee, but I'm being asked to do logo and brochure work. What is the right product to add to my apps, and monthly cost? I would ask sales, but it isn't as easy to get anyone to speak to me as you'd think.

You will need InDesign and Illustrator for proiper vector-based print workflows and that means you go to full CC right off the bat.

Is ATV the right product for me?

I am a PC user and always have been - But I have come across a Apple product that might be abel to do what I have been looking for - The ATV. Can you confirm it for me please?
I have wireless net in the house - And to this network my PC with Windows XP in connected to. On here I have all my pictures and my video clips as my mp3 music.
My question is now - Can I, with the ATV, connect to my wireless network and then - from a shared disk on my pc - stream pic, video and music to a tv set?
Or DO I have to load it all onto the ATV local harddrive? and run it all though an iTunes application?
Looking forward to your answer.
Best regards - Happy holidays

New to Crystal Reports Server - Wondering if this is right product for me

Good Day! This is my first time at the forums and I hope this is the right place to post my query.
I have just recently downloaded the free trial software for Crystal Reports Server. I was directed to this software from a group of people on another forum.
Here is my situation:
I am currently an administrator for my companies various Service Level Agreement reports. I create the reports in Crystal Reports 9.0 and I connect using an ODBC driver to a DB2 database for a piece of software called HP OpenView ServiceCenter (Peregrine). The Peregrine software comes bundled with an older application called ReportCenter. In this software, I put all the .rpt files into one .ini file. ReportCenter then allows me to schedule the time and the date my various .rpt reports will run. For example, we have a daily report I schedule to run every night at 11:00 PM. At 11:00 PM, the software will then run the report and then export it to a file format of my choice (such as PDF or EXCEL).
I was told from another forum that the Crystal Reports Server should allow me to perform the same functionality. Does anyone use the software in this manner?

In addition to Srinivas' excellent replies, it is also noteworthy that the cr server product line also has several SDK's for developing your own customized applications. Quite a few custtomers have impllemented their own customized pages to schedule, view and export reports as well as for administration of the server(s) itself.
I would like to suggest that you look more into a newer version of the product such as CR Server XIR2 or CR Server 2008.

Is Airport Extreme the right product for me?

Greetings, everyone:
Currently, I have an iMac G4 connected to a DSL internet connection via an Ethernet cable on a Linksys router. The router also feeds 2 iBook G4s in the house, as well as a Windows laptop.
After a lengthy call to their tech support dept., it appears the Linksys router is dead. I'm thinking of replacing it with Airport Extreme. Will I be able to use it in the same way as I currently use the Linksys (1 computer hardwired, 3 wireless?). Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The main limitation of the AEBS compared with other products is that it doesn't have a builtin switch. Many competitive products are just like the AEBS, but they allow 4 wired devices. If you have one wired device and lots of wireless, it's fine, but if you have two desktops or a desktop and server, you'll need a hub, switch or router in addition to the AEBS.
However I just moved from a Netgear wireless router back to an old AEBS. I was getting odd delays in packets. Moving to the AEBS (and changing authentication to WPA2) for wireless and an older Linksys switch/router seems to have fixed things.
One thing that impressed me about the AEBS is that the hardware hasn't become incompatible even after several years. They've added new features in firmware. So my old AEBS was updated to support WPA2. Few devices of its age would be upgradeable at this point.
I originally moved from the AEBS to the Netgear because I was having insufficient signal strength. Maybe my setup is different now, but the AEBS seems at least as good now.

Is Captivate the right product for me?

I am a college student, albeit an older one and I have previous IT experience as a network admin. I only say this so you know I'm not a total noob. So what I would like to do is become a course designer/creator for an adult/corporate audience. I am trying to teach myself various things as my school doesn't offer any classes on this sort of thing. I am pretty adept at Power Point animations and I have also been using a cloud-based service called Prezi to create a US citizenship informational class (more of a presentation, really). My goal is to make a few classes as a sort of e-portfolio for after graduation using 3 or 4 platforms. My next project is an English as a Second Language (ESL) class.
There are SO many different Adobe products that all look awesome in their own ways but of course they are expensive and I will be buying any software out of my own poor pockets. Additionally, I want to attend some instructor-led training at an Adobe training center in order to learn whatever product I use correctly. So, before I go to all that expense, do you guys think Captivate is the way to go? I mean, there's Authorware, the e-learning suite, Dreamweaver by itself, Presenter, etc. Based on my description of my goals, which product should I focus my time and money on?
Thanks for all advice.

Hello again Roberta
I'm always baffled with folks that seem insistent on paying what a training center wants and traveling to the center. I've facilitated loads of classes virtually where we connect via screen sharing and I mentor as we go along and ultimately you end up with a better and more personalized result. You may ask questions at any time if you like, just like the classroom. But if you feel you must travel, pay extra and get dumped into a public class with however many others that may be present, it's your money and your time.
Just a heads up on this. Don't be surprised if you sign up for a class and you think you will be traveling only to discover that the class is later canceled. The way these training centers work is that they "bait the hook" by saying a class is scheduled for an arbitrary date. Then they sit back, wait and see how many folks express interest. Here's the kicker.
If not enough sign up, they cancel the class plain and simple and leave you hanging where you thought a class was going to happen. If enough folks do sign up, they then work their list of possible instructors to find one that will come and deliver the class. I'm one of several they may use. I'm certified by Adobe for RoboHelp and for Captivate.
Some training centers regularly use instructors that, while are certainly certified by Adobe, they aren't certified for Captivate. They may be certified for some other Adobe product such as Flash or Photoshop. This means that these instructors don't know the ins and outs of Captivate and will will essentially just read you the book.
Indeed I've facilitated many classes in Atlanta as well as many other locations for many different training companies.
Cheers... Rick

What is the right product for me?

I recently received image discs from my daughter's wedding. all of the files are raw .cr2 files. I generally use a Pentax K100D to take photos. I am an amateur photographer. I would like to be able to make some adjustments to my photo's and occasionally create a slide show and have photo's printed. Do I need lightroom to handle this or is there another product that would be better for my needs?

Adobe makes three products that could work here: Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and Photoshop. Other companies also make programs that will do these tasks.
You make it sound like this is a one-time need. If that's true, I would think that the Adobe products are overkill. In fact, to edit the photos you might want to look at freeware products like RawTherapee, and there are plenty of freeware slideshow applications.

What is the right product for the electronic form?

I need your help to choose an Adobe product.
I need a product that I create an electronic form as a purchase order and when necessary, open the source file, fill the fields and saved in electronic format with the fields filled. What Adobe product does that?
I do not need a product to the customer, is for internal company use.
Thanks in advance.

Todd,
Thanks for the reply.
One question more: FormsCentral can be used for offline use, without relying on the internet or always depends on an external access?
Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is the right product for my needs! Can someone help me out

Im a graphic designer who lives an hour away from my permanent employer. To help cut down on travel expenses and to get through the horrible winters we have I want to be able to access my work computer from home. Specifically be able to access files on my work computer as well as print the files that are on my home and work computers to the printers at my work.
I tried gotomypc.com and you cant print remotely. I am on a free trial of logmein.com and I find it not user friendly at all. Im able to print remotely just fine but I dont like how open and unguarded my computer is without a black out screen or curtain mode.
Is Apple Remote Desktop a good fit for my needs or is there some other software out there?

ARD will not allow you print from your home system to your printers at work either. You could transfer the documents from your home system to your work system and then print, but you don't need ARD for that.

Select right product for my company

Hello ,
Here I am in the company manager, developed systems FLEX 4.5 it is the only one that still has the design view mode . We would like to know if the premium version 4.7 has this option or is able to customizarmos flash builder that has this functionality. We love using flash builder but for us the company's lack of mode design is a big problem, and we worship using Adobe software we use and we help you.

Dario, some titles do have CC but I don't think it's an awful lot of titles. Take a look at the movies on the itms site, those movies with CC will display the CC symbol on the purchase page.

Have I purchased the right product?

I currently own Adobe CS3. I purchased Adobe Volume Licensing on 17/2/12. I understood that this is a yearly subscription that will allow me to upgrade CS3 to the latest version on both my desktop Mac and my laptop. I have received an email explaining that my order has been processed, but when I click the link to install software licenses and try to retrieve a serial number I just get a message saying "No data matches your search criteria. Please try again!".
a) have I puchased the right product for my requirements?
b) if I have purchased the correct product why can't I download the upgrade?
Thanks in advance for your help!

The link is working. Just hang on for a while and the Yellow chat now button will appear when an agent is available to take your call.
Or go to http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/contact/ and choose an issue under AVL from the drop down list.

Is time capsule the right thing for me?

I am looking for extra storage to go along with the new macbook air I just purchased. Is time capsule the right product for me? I basically want to keep movies and other videos but not use up the hard drive space on my laptop. I want to be able to backup my computer and also access the files when necessary.

time capsule does back ups of ALL your data on a periodic basis. If you are just storing vids and music etc, you probably don't want to look at using time capsule. time capsule is there if you have an issues with your mac, and you need to restore all your data.
i suggest just getting a normal external hard drive about 1terrabyte and don't sync it with time capsule.

Web for Forte - what is the right product?

We are using Web Enterprise on a new application and on another existing
Forte application.
Concerning our experiences on the new application:
1) Watch what version of Forte and WE you use. Earlier that 3.M.2 and WE
E.1, we experienced a page truncation bug (that Forte admitted was their
bug).
2) Upgrades between Forte versions have been difficult as each upgrade means
an upgrade to the WE pieces. The only way we have been successful in these
upgrades is by recreating the repository, creating the new HTTP/HTML
libraries/projects, and importing (in order) our projects. This is time
consuming. It would be nice if Forte did not force the WE upgrade when the
Forte version changes.
3) As of yet, we have not been able to get a load balanced Web Access SO to
work. The help desk has suggested using a higher port number range (from
1780 up to 6000) but we haven't tried this yet.
Concerning our experiences with the existing application conversion:
1) The GUI interface of a windows application and a browser application are
basically different. There are things that are easy in a std GUI that are
much more difficult with a browser. So, if using std HTML, typically the
application will behave somewhat differently.
2) We used JavaScript within our HTML to do some basic editing within the
browser. This was much easier than doing std HTML to Forte for every type
of edit. In fact, we even used Forte to dynamically generate JavaScript in
certain circumstances.
3) We did NOT use Java at all.
4) The Forte application we are converting is old (4+ yrs) and was not
designed in the ideal way. Much of the processing logic and sql is embedded
inside windows. My point is that if the architecture of the existing
application is 'good' (good separation of pure GUI functions from business
rules from db access), then moving to WE can be fairly easy. If every Forte
window operation calls some method rather than invoking inline code, then
that is a good step. If every window operation calls some external
(non-window) method, then that is even better. That makes the replacement
of the Forte GUI with a browser based GUI much easier.
5) We tested, very briefly, the Window Converter operations of WE. It did
seem to work but we really could not utilize this facility because of the
poor design of the Forte GUI. We would have been forced to re-write our
existing GUI to take advantage of this.
6) We are attempting to reuse what we can from the existing application but
we are also taking advantage of this rewrite to implement a cleaner
architecture within a newly developed framework.

Hi Forte Experts
We are developing an application in 'pure' Forte 4GL, but have now reachedthe point >where some 20 windows must also be used from a WWW interface,
both for dataentry and >lookup of info.
So what is the right product(s) to look for / buy? Forte for Java ,WebEnterprise, >WebEnterprise Designer or is the functionality already in
30M2 and all we need to do >is to open the documentation-kit...?
Suggestions or War-stories are welcomed...
