Rolling out ADE to Open Access Computers in libraries

(In the UK). In Plymouth we are using Secure Electronic Delivery as the default to deliver access to documents provided by the British Library. Internet Explorer 7 (and this is also known with Firefox and other browsers) causes an ebook reader detection error as part of the downloading process "Downloading this eBook requires Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader version 2.2 or later to be installed on your computer" (even though all our computers are on Reader 7.0.9). The page then provides a link to download the latest version. The problem is that, despite being told to ignore the link and scroll to the 'download your ebooks' link further down the screen, many users are clicking the update link and ending up with Adobe Reader 8 without ADE, or a misfunctioning ADE because they do not have administrator rights, or a screen which hangs and does nothing, or an ADE that will not allow them to print. In open access areas all computers are locked to a standard 'frozen' image which is restored after each log-out. Users, therefore, are unable to save any changes which means that they also have to repeat the steps every time they want to download an SED everytime they log-in. (Yes, because of 'easy activation', we also have to make it clear to these users that it is 'download and then print' or there is no further access to the document, despite a 14day access rule; and no-use of memory sticks too!). We would love to be able to maintain our ability to standardise these computers on the latest version of the Reader software, but are unable to do so because we do not have the manpower to manually install ADE on each computer (over 2,500!) to make it part of the 'locked' image. We know the eBook Reader detection error is most probably caused by the underlying software technology difference between IE7 and Adobe 7 and would hope that installing Adobe Reader 8 and ADE would restore the seamless process that we had long established using the Reader 7 series!
Could not Adobe please consider a means by which, say ADE 1.5, could be packaged and rolled-out centrally? Then also consider doing the same for future releases - it would really make life easier for everyone. If not we will have to remain on Reader 7.0.9 and users will 'suffer' as the technology becomes more and more obsolete, and suffers from more and more problems caused by a widening gap in software technologies. We understand the idea behind the decision to make ADE an IRA (internet rich application) but the growing use of DRM and the need to delivery these documents within closed environments, to people who cannot be given full access permissions, means that there should also be a concurrent method to allow updating in such situations. Our 'problem' rate for SED is beginning to climb (from under 3% (based on 16,000 transactions) before the release of Adobe 8, to 6% afterwards (based on 7,000 transactions). Before the release of 8, 70% of the problems were because people didn't read instructions we provided; after 8's release, 70% of the problems are caused by the technologies (eBook detection; downloading Reader 8 and not ADE; ADE not functioning due to local permissions etc etc). These seriously affect the value of the service and also the perception people have of the service and of Adobe products (eg: the IE7 error states "Adobe eBook Reader not detected" so, even though your product may not be to blame for the users' inability to get to their document, they blame Adobe Reader, especially if they know they have Reader 7 installed!
My apologies for a long post but I consider it an important issue as well as it being important to lay out some of the logic and arguement as to why.
Graham

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this long and accurate post. We are very much aware of this issue and are working as hard as we can to resolve this. It might not be possible to squeeze it into 1.5, but we will get to it as soon as we possibly can.
Can you submit a support incident at www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/ so we can try and resolve the immediate problem (incorrect detection and misleading message)? We can also discuss offline how your organization and our can work together to resolve the larger problem. Thanks.

Roll out to 4 macs.

I have OS X installed on an external HD created on a Macbook Pro Core Duo 2.0 ghz. I just updated it to 10.4.8. Prior to updating it would boot on a Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16 ghz but did not see the network devices properly. After updating it wont boot on the Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo (but does on the Core Duo). Is it an unreasonable expectation for it to boot on both? I have to roll out standard apps to several computers - most are Core 2 Duo but mine is a core duo.
Anyone have any advice?

Is it an unreasonable expectation for it to boot on both?
Potentially… the reason being that the MBP C2D ships with 10.4.8 and the DVD build version for it might well be different to that from Software Update. If you were to have updated to 10.4.9 (which is not yet out) then you would expect everything to work.
You might have better luck doing it the other way around.

When do new computers get Lion pre-installed after the roll-out?

Once Apple announces the availability of Lion, how long does it take before one can order a new iMac from the online Mac Store with the new OS pre-installed? I've been waiting to purchase the iMac after the Lion roll-out so I don't have to install it myself.

When I ordered a MacBook for my mother it was the day after Snow Leopard was released. It came with Snow Leopard installed.
Now this is not a guarantee but I am thinking that Apple doesn't sell a new Mac without the most current OS installed. (Note I said Apple, an Apple reseller like best buy might not be in the same situation)

Questions in Roll-out projects

Hi Gurus,
Please support me.
In rollout project
1. Can i use the same types of equipment category , object types, Functional location types, Catalogs , codes, Classes and classification..etc as same as the reference system.?..How?
2. The number ranging for the equipment are external in the reference system ..can i give internal numbering.?
3.If the equipments are same in the both the projects, can i copy the tak list, maint plans..If yes..How.?
4. Please provide me information on Classes and classification how they should be done.
Thanks for your support in advance

1. Can i use the same types of equipment category , object types, Functional location types, Catalogs , codes, Classes and classification..etc as same as the reference system.?..How?
Mentioned details are SAP client (i.e., DEV, QAS) specific settings. So, you can use these for roll out projects.
2. The number ranging for the equipment are external in the reference system ..can i give internal numbering.?
This is Business requirement how they want to have / see the equipment in SAP. You can go with external number range or internal number range with external number in Technical identification field in equipment master.
3.If the equipments are same in the both the projects, can i copy the tak list, maint plans..If yes..How.?
Task lists can be copied from existing one, but not maintenance plans.
4. Please provide me information on Classes and classification how they should be done.
This is very high level question which can't be addressed here. Better open a new thread or search in forum.

Roll out for new plant need some informations

Hi,
We are going to roll out for our 2nd plant. So I need your help.
I am explaining the scenario,
Current scenario is: we have two manufacturing plants (ex:-one in noida and another in gurgaon) and in both plants we have six product line (in A plant=3, in B plant=3).
For both plants we are using one Company code (1000). and we are not using the business area.
But now the problem is this, that management wants separate reporting (P&l statement and Balance sheet) Plant wise and Product wise.
We decide to create a separate co- code for 2nd plant and six business area for product lines.
(In this regards I need your suggestions that how can we define the enterprise structure)
Please tell me
1. what new configurations we need to be done for new co-code?
2. In which areas business area will be affected and how and where we will assign the business area?
3. As we are doing transaction in sap since last year and we are doing this roll out in mid of 2008 so what will be the impact on the business.
4. How we will transfer the transactional data from one co-code to another, because data of both plants lies in previous co-code(1000).
Data like:- A. Transfer of General ledger balances
          B. Transfer of open line items of General ledgers
          C. Transfer of asset and accumulated depreciation from one co code to another.
          D. Controlling transfer postings.
          E. Customer / Vendor open items and balances transfer posting. Etc
If someone knew about something more to be taken care of, please guide so that we can successfully complete the roll out.
Please advice me, its urgent. if any one can give me his mobile to make me understood i can call to him .
Thanks and regards
Kuldeep singh

When implementing SAP in India office( having same company in corporate level and assigning a company code for India to the same company), you can say it's a roll out project.
SAP Upgrade:
SAP Upgrade is nothing but upgrading the software with a superior version which has got more advantages when compared to the earlier version. Consultants are to go through transactions SPAU/SPDD to compare the old and new version of the change and finally need to activate the relevant one. Some times might need to work on SAP notes.
Implementation Project:
SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to
implement SAP software in an organization from Legacy System. It is based on best practices and case studies from various sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan ,redesign and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software. The SAP implementation process is made up out of Five main phases, i.e. the project preparation where a vision of the future-state of the SAP solution is being created, a sizing and blueprinting phase where the solution stack is created and training is being performed, a functional development phase and finally a final preparation phase, when the last tests are being performed before the actual go live & then support.

Sophos stopped working message, greyed out icon and On-Access Scanning disabled

Hi, I've started to get an error message from Sophos saying that Sophos has stopped working, the icon in the menu bar is greyed out and the On-Access Scanner is diasbled. I've opened preferences to turn the scanner back on but just get "stopping". I've uninstalled Sophos and re-installed as this issue has occured a number of times. OSX 10.10.4 and SAV 9.2.7

Hi DJJD,
Sorry, I started a reply yesterday but I just noticed now I didn't actually post it.
The first thing I wonder is, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? It sounds like your install is pretty broken, so that will likely be your fastest fix. To do that, follow the steps below:
1. Browse to this page and download a new copy of the installer (Click "Get Started" and follow the prompts)
2. Use the "Remove Sophos Antivirus" app to uninstall. You will find this in finder under Applications > Remove Sophos Antivirus
3. Restart your Mac 4. Double-click the install app you downloaded in step 1 (The file is called savosx_he_r)
5. Follow the on-screen prompts until the install is complete
Hopefully that will get you back up and running, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to let us know!

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,
GB

Lumia Black begins rolling out

Greetings Lumia fans,
From today, Nokia Lumia WP8 owners around the world will start to receive the new Lumia Black software update on their smartphones.
The Lumia Black update combines a host of new features, improvements in imaging, new apps and app updates from Microsoft and Nokia to make your Lumia smartphone experience even better. So what can you look forward to, once Lumia Black is installed?
App Folder. This brand new feature makes your Lumia experience even more fluid by giving you an option to further personalize and organize your Start screen. With App folders you can group similar apps and settings into one folder, a tile, on your Start screen.
Nokia Glance screen 2.0. Helps you keep track of information in real time, making all your most important notifications including: phone, messages, email, outlook, calendar, or any apps that use notifications such as Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, or games; always visible at a glance on your screen. It saves you time and energy.
Bluetooth LE. Will now be enabled across the full Windows Phone 8 Lumia range for compatible gadgets like the Adidas MiCoach accessories.
Nokia Refocus. The amazing Nokia Refocus comes to all Windows Phone 8 Lumia smartphones with 1GB of RAM and upwards. This app has to be seen to be believed, so what better excuse for showing another example:
Nokia Beamer. Sharing what’s on your phone is easier than ever with Nokia Beamer. No longer restricted to just photos, you can now beam documents, presentations, anything you like, to any HTML5-enabled screen by simply scanning a QR code on the screen. It’s coming to all of the phones with 1GB RAM upwards.
Nokia Storyteller. This app debuted on the new Nokia Lumia 1520 and Lumia 2520 late last year. Now the experience comes to other Lumia smartphones. The app arranges your photos for you, by date and by place, making it easier to tell the stories behind your pictures, and give extra context through the close integration of interactive maps.
Nokia Camera. Combines Nokia Pro Camera and Smart Camera to simplify the photo-taking experience, and ensure you get the perfect shot every time. The app has been available for Lumia PureView smartphones since last year, but it’s now coming to the rest of the WP8 Lumia range.
The latest Nokia Camera update also brings raw DNG support for Lumia 1020 owners – something that’s already available for Lumia 1520. The DNG format gives you access to pure and untouched visual information, allowing you to do more and be more creative with your images. If you are an enthusiast or professional photographer, now you can use your professional workflow with your smartphone images.
Latest generation of imaging algorithms. The Lumia Black update further improves the image quality, especially in Lumia 1020. Among others, the improvements include a new oversampling algorithm, making your images more natural looking with reduced noise, while ensuring your photos remain wonderfully sharp.
The Lumia Black update also brings a series of enhancements from Microsoft to Nokia Lumia smartphones. These include safe driving mode – which cuts out unnecessary distractions when you’re on the road; customised ringtones for each contact. You can now also close apps within the in multitasking view and lock the screen rotation if you wish.
“Nokia Lumia Black updates the imaging experiences on your Lumia and makes using the Windows Phone even more fluid. New App Folders and the ability to close apps in multitasker are my personal favourites. I also encourage everyone to try out the Nokia Refocus app that introduces a whole new dimension to photography,” says Samuli Hänninen, vice president of software program management for Nokia’s Smart Devices business.
How do I update?
The Lumia Black update has begun rolling out now for Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925 smartphones, with other models in the range following in the coming weeks. For more information go to http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/.
Your Nokia Lumia smartphone automatically checks for updates every week, and will notify you when it finds one. Otherwise, you can go to Settings -> Phone update and check for yourself. If Lumia Black is ready for your phone, you’ll be able to download and install it straight from that screen.
To see this article in full colour at Nokia Conversations, click here:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/01/09/lumia-black-update/
You can also follow the latest news on the availability of Lumia Black for your own Nokia Lumia here:
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/
...And of course, once you have Lumia Black on your Nokia Lumia phone, if there's any questions you'd like to ask or anything you need support with, our expert teams are on hand to help her at Nokia Support Discussions!
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

Why is the Black update for Lumia 810 listed as not available?
Does that mean Nokia has abandoned my device and I shouldn't hold my breath to see any fixes for it in the future?
Is there a way to get this update through other channels (such as the "developer preview" that Microsoft did before GDR3 started rolling out) or is Nokia just killing support for yet another phone a year after the release?

I also have this question...I was really bummed when i saw this. Hoping this is not the case.

ADE not opening acsm files

Ok, I download ~ 10 books a week from the library using Digital Editions (epub format). Things have gone smooth until yesterday. When I click the download link online, ADE opens, but nothing happens (the book does not open in ADE). Here is what I have done so far:
-Checked security settings to make sure ADE has full access
-Checked files to be sure they were not blocked
-Renamed restore file to restore.old
-Uninstalled ADE and Reinstalled it
-Tried from Internet Explorer and Firefox
-Tried from two different library sites to be sure it wasn't a problem on their end
-Tried to open files from download file on the computer, again-ADE opens, but does not open the book
What else can I try??
Thanks for the help!!
Carmel

No answers, but having the same problem. So frustrating! Had a similar issue (download already in progress message, yet no books appearing) a few weeks ago and library resource suggested deleting cookies. That worked for that problem.
The issue must stem from Overdrive or ADE as it happens on both my macbook and PC. Like you, tried 2 different library sites.
Hoping there are some answers here as Adobe support offers the forums as the only option for answers.
