SDK 16 using new AOT on iOS issues: unresponsive on return from CameraRoll, list skins confused
I am having issues with the "-useLegacyAOT no" (now default) and iOS apps. Under SDK 15 using "-useLegacyAOT yes" no issues. With SDK 16 the app has issues with many things, for example datagrid/list skins don't work - if you manually skin using setRendererStyle, it seems ALL the skin states are using the Selected skins, and the upSkin state uses the selectedUpSkin skin as far as I can make out (in tests this seems to be the case). Another is the app becomes unresponsive to touch on returning from cameraRoll, camera to take a picture or video to record a video - my app is full screen, when it returns from one of these, it is no longer full screen (the top info bar is visible), and I am using stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE when returning from these calls, which worked under the legacy AOT. Since the app is unresponsive, the only option is to reboot the iphone and restart the app - not really an option.
Just catching up with testing using the latest SDK 17 (115) and finding the following: With SDK 16/17 on iOS the app has issues with datagrid/list skins - if you manually skin using setRendererStyle, it seems ALL the skin states are using the Selected skins, and the upSkin state uses the selectedUpSkin skin as far as I can make out (in tests this seems to be the case).
I am also noticing that sometimes on return from the camera, cameraroll, and video camera, the app will sometimes hang - not always. I am continuing to test. The hang actually closes the app quickly.

I want to listen to internet radio as I used to do. The selection "Radio" has gone from my list under "Music". How do I get it back again?
I don't know if this is what you really want, but I created a Playlist for Radio, and add some of the stations I like from websites. (If you click on the web-links they load into iTunes in the Sidebar). And you can also add individual Radio stations from the top right,(under Apple) to a Playlist. That's the only way I know to have them in the Sidebar.
Z_ZS-B, You also helped me to find the old Radio list! I didn't even know it was up on the right, under Apple. I haven't liked this version of iTunes so I hadn't even bothered to try and figure it out until now, but because I just bought a my first iPod Shuffle I'm determined to bend this version to my will. ;-) -
AIR SDK 17 iOS list skins confused
Using the latest SDK 17 (115) on iOS the app has issues with datagrid/list skins - if you manually skin using setRendererStyle, it seems ALL the skin states are using the Selected skins. For example, the upSkin state uses the selectedUpSkin skin as far as I can make out (in tests this seems to be the case) In other words, to set the upSkin to the skin you want, you have to set the selectedUpSkin - .setRendererStyle("selectedUpSkin", CellRenderer_upSkin). This does not seem to be a problem on the other platforms - Android, Windows, Mac.

How to update new iPod to iOS 5.1 then restore from previous iPod's backup
If I want to restore my 'new' (refurbished) iPod from a back up of my old one, I need to get iOS5.1 on this one.
I can't restore it right now because I don't have the computer it's synced with, and I was planning on getting iOS 5.1.1 on my old one before it broke.
This is what I think I should do (when I have the right computer):
Update software to iOS 5.1
Restore from backup.
Update software to iOS 5.1.1
right?
The only thing is, I will have to set up my new iPod 'as new iPod' to update the software because the option isnt there until your iPod is set up in iTunes (keep in mind, I'm not using the computer with the iTunes I will be syncing it with for the rest of its life). Will this change anything?
And should I wait to do all this until I'm on the computer with the normal iTunes I'll be using, or does it not matter because I was planning on restoring it anyways?
Pleaaasee hellppp!I don't have my old iPod, just the refurbished one, but I backed up my previous one beforehand when it was connected to my computer.
On my new one, I need to update it to iOS 5.1 to to be able to restore it from a backup of my old iPod because that's they system the old one was using, and I also want to update it to iOS 5.1.1, which I can't do right away or I still won't be able to restore it. I figured I would have to:
1. Update Software of new iPod to iOS 5.1
2. Restore new iPod from backup of old one.
3. Update software to iOS 5.1.1

IOS app crashes on return from cameraUI - a memory allocation problem?
hey all
trying to finish my first app
when running on iOS, the app SOMETIMES crashes after returning from cameraUI (either "use"/MediaEvent.COMPLETE or "cancel"/Event.CANCEL).
when i exit some other running apps on my iPhone 3Gs (and not that many are open), the problem goes away, which makes me think this is some memory allocation problem
in that aspect, can i trust the iOS to exit inactive applications to allocate more memory for my, currently active, AIR app?
(there is no memory leak)
this is an iPhone 3Gs running os version 4.3.5
the app was made with Flash Pro 5.5 overlayed with the AIR 3.1 sdk, and deployed using the "deploy for app store" type (which should be the most bug-free)
(no crashes on Android or desktop versions)
anyone had this cameraUI problem or a similar one where an app crashes if more then some numbers of apps are open?
thanx
SaarI don't get this. Its beyond frustrating:
we are not talking about using an uncommon phone capability, access to a phones camera is about the most basic native level of access you would be looking for in a mobile framework
we are not talking about an edge case in usage, just trying to take a simple picture consistently
we are not talking about a feature issue where it doesn't quite work the way you want, it crashes the whole app hard!
we are not talking about a hard to recreate, only happening to a few people case - it seems from what I have read the Camera integration is fundamentally broken and I have spent days researching this and only found frustration from people out there
we are not talking about an issue that does not have consequences - in several places on this forum and others people have emphasized how it is affecting their platform decisions, ability to submit apps. You even have people on this board recommending that not to use Flex Mobile and move to other platforms. Not what you want to be happening to when you are at the adoption phase of a new product.
And that is the response - on this thread and here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4125590#4125590 - we know its an issue but we don't know when it will be fixed and no proactive communication on status - only a growing body of people like me getting increasingly frustrated. What does it take for an issue to be a show stopper? priority 1? affecting customer decisions priority?
In my case I am in place where I am trying to make a platform decision and since this experience has happened I have subscribed to the live feed for this forum and as many relevant Adoble blogs, news feed etc. as I could find. I did this to get a feel for how well Adobe is supporting the mobile development on the AIR platform. Something increasingly important given recent decisions.
My perception so far is quite poor especially for a recently released product, i.e. 4.6 release. In fact the release that finally addresses performance enough to make AIR mobile development a risk free decision. You would expect Adobe to be all over the boards like this - with core developers, platform experts contributing actively. My perception, rightly or wrongly, is of a community trying to support itself without much help, or clear communication from Adobe. In fact if you look at the the articles coming out of Adobe recently its all phonegap, html5 etc. It does not fill you with confidence for the future.
To be clear - I have had a great experience with actionscript, flex etc and as a company we have developed the backend portion of our platform solely on Flex. I don't believe that we could have done it any other way and even now when I look at the alternatives for web development I feel vindicated in our decision.
However, this rant is caused by a genuine frustration and fear. I don't expect this to get a meaningful response but maybe if there are enough voices it will create an overall improvement.

What's the best way to mix AIR 14 and the Flex 3.5 SDK and use new AIR features?
I am returning to development of a popular desktop AIR app, after about 4 years of no code changes. Both AIR and Flex have actively moved forward during my coding absence, and it is time to play catch up.
When last built, the app was using Flex 3.5 and AIR 2.6.
End Goal - I want my app to look good on high density displays
I'd like to keep Flex version at 3.5, but use the newer version of AIR, to render more clearly on high density displays (Retina on OSX and hiDPI on Win8).
The pixel doubling performed by the "compatibility" modes of OSX.Retina or Win8.hiDPI make my app look pretty gross, and the customer base is starting to complain.
While I may eventually switch over to the Apache Flex SDK to bring the application design into the current state, my customer base just doesn't care right now. They like the current app, but want it to work, out-of-the-box, on high density displays.
So I need to limit my scope to changing only the AIR SDK, not the Flex SDK at this time.
Step 1 - Overlaying AIR14 SDK on Flex 3.5
I followed the official generic overlay instructions here, and that worked well enough. I named my hybrid SDK folder "3.5.0.AIR14". I have been able to recompile, run, and verify my app using the hybrid SDK. (my app is compiled and packaged from an ant script, using the Antennae framework. I had already switch SDKs a number of times over the initial course of development, so pointing my project to a new SDK was pretty simple enough.
Step 2 - Updating the app.xml descriptor
This part was also easy. I used the templates\air\descriptor-template.xml as a starting point, customizing the name, app id, and folders. Now my app descriptor is correctly based on the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/14.0"> namespace.
Step 3 - Enabling Retina/hiDPI support - Help??
I added <requestedDisplayResolution>high</requestedDisplayResolution> to the <initialWindow> tag of the app descriptor, but that made no difference. The app compiles, installs, and runs, but pixel doubling is still occurring and the app looks gross.
I also tried setting the SWF version to 25, according to the official overlay guide. This proved to be more difficult. The official overlay guide suggests setting the -swf-version=25 compiler option, but that option is not supported by the Flex 3.5 compiler. So all I had to try was using the legacy -target-player=25 compiler option. That setting was accepted by the compiler, and it produced a SWF with byte offset 0x3 == 0x19 (25 dec), so that appears to be right.
But -target-player=25 didn't have any effect either.
Is setting the SWF version even required? Isn't the whole point of using the AIR 14 namespace in the app descriptor the way of telling the compiler "I want to use all features of the AIR 14 release". Why do I need to tell the compiler multiple times to use all the features of the SDK I'm compiling with? It just seems weird to me.
Have I missed a secret setting somewhere?
How can I tell the AIR runtime to simply run as pixel-dense as possible? When the workarounds listed below are performed, my app looks fantastic on high-density displays. But its the pixel scaling that is making everything look bad, and I desperately want to get this fixed.
Workarounds?
On Windows 8+, we are asking our users to enable the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" checkbox on the AIR application shortcut. This works, but is a confusing setting for average users to discover. Most just give up in frustration.
On OSX, we can't even disable Retina mode on a per-application basis, its all or nothing, so that's even worse. SwitchResX will automatically switch resolutions based on the selected app, but that's a pretty clunky (and non-free) workaround too.
Any other workaround ideas are appreciated too.
Cheers,
DougIt took me a while to figure out (without much help from Adobe, grrr!), since some internet writeups were terse and implied somehow that AIR's Retina support (setting your app descriptor's <initialWindow/requestedDisplayResolution> to high) would also work on Windows. They don't.
On OSX, the steps to disable pixel-doubling are:
update your app descriptor to AIR 14
set initialWindow/requestedDisplayResolution = high
compile with SWF version 25 or greater
vector assets, including text, will scale automatically
you'll need to replace your bitmap assets with Retina-quality bitmaps as appropriate
when running on a Retina display, you will see stage.contentsScaleFactor=2. It will be 1 for non-Retina displays.
On Windows, the pixel-doubling kicks in when you have a HiDPI scaling set to about 150% or greater (hiDPI scaling was introduced in Win7). There is no way to detect from within an AIR app when Windows is doing its HiDPI scaling. stage.contentsScaleFactor is always 1, under all configurations.
The only thing you can do for AIR apps on Windows is explicitly disable display scaling (like you have done) and update your app to manually scale all UI elements at runtime (that's really gross and hard, and it what I working on right now).
For my app, I updated our Windows installer to set the registry to disable hiDPI scaling, for all users, just for our app. Here's how you do that:
Key = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
Name = <fullPathToYourExe>
Type = REG_SZ
Value = "~ HIDPIAWARE" (without the quotes, tilde space HIDPIAWARE)
That should be set in the full 64-bit registry, not the Wow32Node registry, even if your app is a 32-bit app (which all AIR apps are). If your installer is a 32-bit app (mine was), you may need to jump through some hoops to have it affect the 64-bit registry hive from a 32-bit process.
If you only want to change the setting for the current user (not all users), the KEY root is HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
If you don't have an explicit installer for your AIR app (ie. if you are deploying from the web via a badge installer), then you're even more messed up, and you will need to tell your users to disable the scaling manually.
I know, it's a total pain. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Doug

On iMovie for the Mac it's possibly to have a music track start at any point in a project I like. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get music on the iOS version to do anything other than snap to the beginning of the project. Any help would be greatfully received.
I've tried it it using the latest version of iMovie for iOS.If it is a background audio track (green), then select it, tap ... in the inspector and choose 'Move to Foreground" Now you can put it wherever you like.

DELJIT Idoc issue, delivery Item missing from Due list
We have recieved an Inbound DELJIT Idoc with status 53 that means the Scheduling agreement was updated successfully, but one of the Delivery line items of the Idoc does not appear in Delivery due list in VL10, any reason Why?
ThanksHi Dirk,
Please see below configuration in XXXID.h file:
// ImplementationIDs:
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPServiceProviderImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 0)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPIndesignResponderImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 1)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTSelectionObserverImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 2)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPObserverImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 3)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPStartupShutdownServiceImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 4)
Above configuration is giving me below ASSERT:
FillOutInterfaceInfo - Impl kCSDTPObserverImpl not yet registered. Missing from factory list resource in plugin kCSDTPPluginID?
Now I changed the configuration as below:
// ImplementationIDs:
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPServiceProviderImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 0)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPIndesignResponderImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 1)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTSelectionObserverImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 2)
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPObserverImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 4) //<-------changed from 3 to 4
DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kCSDTPStartupShutdownServiceImpl, kCSDTPPrefix + 3) //<-------changed from 4 to 3
Now it is giving below ASSERT:
FillOutInterfaceInfo - Impl kCSDTPStartupShutdownServiceImpl not yet registered. Missing from factory list resource in plugin kCSDTPPluginID?
Now this looks really wierd. I also tried with some random combinations 5,6,7 but none is working and some how 3 is not working but 4 is working. Now how can I decide which
is going to work and why 3 is not working here.
Please enlighten me if any one has any clue here -
How to use SSIS 2014 to read from Sharepoint List ?
Hi there,
I have designed a simple entry form for users using List in Sharepoint 2013.
I need to use the information to merge into my datawarehouse.
Question :
1. How can I setup SSIS (SQL 2014) to get the source from List in Sharepoint?
I have tried to download the script as suggested in codeplex but it seems not working with SQL 2014 as there is no SSIS toolbar displayed.
Any help is much appreciated
Thank you and Best RegardsHi SylviaO,
The current
SharePoint List Adapter that extracting and loading SharePoint Data in SQL Server Integration Services supports x86/x64 systems using SQL 2005 / SQL 2008 / SQL 2008 R2/ SQL 2012. It doesn’t support SQL 2014. Maybe we need wating the update.
Besides, the
OData Source component can also be used to read from SharePoint lists. So we can download and install the 64 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-amd64.msi or 32 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-x86.msi from the
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack.
The following blog about using the SSIS OData Source Connector to read data from SharePoint lists is for your reference:
http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2014/03/using-the-odata-source-connector-with-sharepoint-online-authentication/
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

My daughter accidentally deleted her texting app off of her i-pod 4th generation. Is there a way to get it back? Or, is the there a way to re-install or install a new one. The issue seems to be not being able to load a newer ios.
Hello rkoslosky,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not able to locate the Messages application on your daughters iPod touch (4th generation). The good news is that this application cannot be deleted or restricted. The first suggestion I have is to try and search for Messages using Spotlight to search the iPod touch for this application. If Messages is located in Spotlight, then it has probably been moved to a different page of applications or even possibly a folder of applications on the device. Searching all pages will help you locate it.
Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
Have a great day,

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.
Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.
