Solution to the "Disappearing Comments" problem with shared reviews

I've been having repeated problems with users losing their comments on shared reviews, hosted on my webDAV server. After tearing my hair out for days, I wanted to share the simple fix to this issue, plus another tip:
DON'T USE PERIODS OR SPACES IN FILE NAMES. Use hyphens and underscores instead.
Illegal characters seem to gradually corrupt the file to the point where potentially every comment can get overwritten with a blank .xml file, permanently losing all your comments.
My wish to Adobe is that they would put a pop-up warning at the time of saving a file for shared reviews, something to the effect of:
"WARNING! saving a shared file with a space or a period could result in data corruption when shared over network drives or webDAV. Do you want to replace illegal characters with underscores?"
My other tip is this:
If using a webDAV server as I am, be sure to use the IP address rather than the domain name when specifying the location of the server.

With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

Is there a solution to the disappearing cursor problem yet?

Recently upgraded my 12 core to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard to install Media Composer. The disappearing changing cursor is driving me batty. Also My ProTools installation has become very unstable. It sometimes stops processing for about 30 seconds until it decides to access the hard drive (Not sure if it's my media drive or the system drive, both are inside the case) Any thoughts? I still have my old Snow Leopard partition so I am considering installing MC on that instead to see if that works. I can't believe this problem is still rampant. Pardon my sarcasm but I think a basic mouse function might be something you would appreaciate in a new OS. Silly me.

Hi,
The MERGE_ANY_WORKSPACE privilege also covers refresh operations, so if it is granted it should be working. A merge or refresh operation requires MERGE and ACCESS privileges on the child workspace, and ACCESS privileges on the parent. Can you list the privileges for each user using the user_wm_privs view?
Thanks,
Ben

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.

Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

Hi,
I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
I've noticed following issues:
1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
2.Ping works OK
Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

Problem with shared objects synchoronization.

I encountered a small problem with shared objects.
I'm working on a program that creates chat rooms of a fixed
size of 30 users. When the 31th user comes, a new room is created.
The idea is that the client first connects to the first room
and checks if it's full by connecting to shared objects. If it is
full, connection is closed and process is reapeated on a new
instance of the application.
I use a function to connect to an instance, which takes as a
parameter a number (1 for instance room_1, 2 for room_2, etc). The
function itself creates the necessary Netconnection and
sharedObject objects.
If a room is full, Netconnections and sharedObjects are
closed and function is called again with another number.
I have no problem for connecting to the first room, but after
closing the first connection and connecting to the new room, there
seem to be some problems with the shared objects (especially,
OnSync doesn't seem to execute again after the connection to the
shared objects of the new instance).
I was wondering if you had any ideas what could cause this.
Is it the use of the same variable names for connecting at two
different shared objects?
Here is the function :
function initStreams(room) {
client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.4/Elearning/room_"+room);
in_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
Replay_video.attachVideo(in_ns);
out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
out_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns.play("my_recorded_stream");
users_name = SharedObject.getRemote("users_name",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_name.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_language = SharedObject.getRemote("users_language",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_language.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_picture = SharedObject.getRemote("users_picture",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_picture.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_finger = SharedObject.getRemote("users_finger",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_finger.connect(_root.client_nc);
I you need more info, I can post more of the code on the
forum.
Any help would be really appreciated

I don't see any onStatus events in the code you posted above.
If you're defining the onstatus event outside the function, that's
the problem. When you define the shared object, you also need to
define it's onStatus event handler.
Also, you really should wait for the onStatus event of the
netConnection before you connect your sharedObjects. If you try to
connect the SO before the netConnection is established, the SO will
never connect.

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

Dynamic Stamp Reviewer Name Changes upon Comment Download from Shared Review

When reviewers publish their dynamic stamp to an active Shared Review and I join the review, it downloads their comments (including the dynamic stamp) but when it downloads to my copy, the name on the stamp changes from their profile name to my profile name. If I double-click on the stamp, the reviewer's name shows up on the comment pop-up yet my profile name remains on the stamp image.
I've dug around in the forum and have found no information about this problem. Does anyone out there have a fix for this or have you seen this problem as well?
It happens whether the review is initiated and stored in a network server directory, or using a SharePoint workspace.
No matter who has initiated the review, the renamed stamp appears in other participants' review copies. This was not happening at all before (we have been using Shared Review since 2012).
It just started happening and it is occurring to others at our company as well. Initiating from different versions of Acrobat (ranging from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat 10) results in the same problem.
Some reviewers' names are showing correctly and some are replaced with the user's name. See below.
Below you can see the first approved stamp name (and time stamp) is different than the pop-up.
The second is the same as the reviewer.

I don't have the answer but I've seen the same thing, only with it twist. It seems to be related to the disappearing comments that others are talking about.
We use the dynamic stamps just as you do and for certain users, the stamps disappear when the review file is opened again, no matter who opens it. You can see then listed as having added comments as the file is opening but no stamps are showing, and they aren't listed in the comments window once the file is open.
But we have one user who DOES see the stamps - except that they have his name instead of the user that actually stamped it! So for some users, there's no problem - they stamp the file and everyone sees it fine. For others, the stamp disappears whenever anyone except that one user opens it, and he sees his own name on them. We all use Acrobat X except this one user, who's still on Acrobat 9.
This all started recently and the number of affected users seems to be increasing. I firmly believe that it's related to recent updates that have been sent out, though I can't prove it. Not sure why else the problem would just start happening, and not to every user.
This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed!

Automating work flow with Shared Reviews

Is there a way to manage the work flow with shared reviews? In other words, I have a pdf document I need to send out for review. I have several people on my review team, and I want them to look at in in sequence rather than all at the same time. Person A to make comments first, and then pass it on to person B.
Is there a way to set up reviews so that Person A gets to review the document first, and then when they are done, it notifies person B that the document is ready to be reviewed?
As far as I can tell, the way it is set up currently is a free for all and there is no organization - I would like to avoid doing this manually.

By server information, I mean the server type (webDAV/SharePoint/Network folder/Acrobat.com) on which you initiate the review in A9. What option do you choose during shared review initiation?
What is the error message that you get on opening A9 created files in A10? Can you send me one such testfile at ambooATadobeDOTcom (the one created in Acrobat 9)?

Problems publishing shared review comments in Acrobat 8.0

I created a shared review in Acrobat 8.0 and posted it to a Sharepoint workspace. A reviewer published comments but I was not able to see them. He double-checked, and he was able to see his comments but I was still unable to see them. He checked again, and was not able to see his comments.
I can see comments the reviewer published on a different date, but the reviewer is no longer able to see those comments either. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I'm having a similar problem and didn't see a solution posted.
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional to do shared document reviews. I created a sharepoint shared documents folder which the shared document review process verified and accepted as a destination.
I used the Review and Comment process to save the pdf document to the folder (enabling those using Reader to review and comment) and send an email inviting specific individuals to review and comment.
The problem is when they open the document (using the URL in the email) they don't see the "toolbar" that lets them Publish Comments to Server. They all have Reader 9.
Until I figure out what the problem is, I'm using a brute force technique to force publishing comments, instructing them to close the browser and then Publish Comments using the dialog box that appears after the browser has closed.
Any suggestions how to get the toolbar that lets them look for published comments and publish their comments to display ?

Adding To The LIst Of Problems With Internet Explolrer 11 And Another Browser

I've b1 of the EA6500 router and like the othe posts I can't use IE 11. The "solution" is to use either Chrome or Firefox but not my Chrome has stopped working. All I get now is the LInksys Blue background. When I first see the site it looks like it's trying but then gives me a blue page. I've included screen prints of what I see when I go to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi page and below that is the version number. I have deleted my browser history, cache, saved form data, etc. but the result is still the same. And it doesn't matter if I use the router IP address or the Smartsys Wi-Fi link.
So right now the only broweser that will let me do router administration is Firefox but something tells me it too will have problems eventually.
the problem I'm having isn't with the router, it is with the company. People have tried to blame Micrtosoft in these posts for the problem but it's not their problem. The real kicker is that these Smart Wi-Fi routers are not old. nor are they cheap. LInksys announced this line at CES 2012, then again in April, and the last one announced for thie "initial" line-up of new routers was the EA6500 (the EA6500 was anounced in June 2012).
I've been mostly happy with LInksys reouters but if this is the way they are going to conduct business, then maybe I need to make certain adjustments with the networking products we purchase.
To put it bluntly...this situation is unacceptable.

Believe it or not I stumbled across the solution to the problem and need to partially retract one of my previous statements. In a sense part of the responsibility does go to Microsoft because during one of their infamous "updates", the default version of Internet Explorer was changed to use the 64-bit version. I rarely used the Internet Explorer (64 bit) link in my Start Menu...I always used the "default" which apparently was the 32-bit version because there are plenty of companies that have not updated their software for 64-bit.
The article I came across is Problem With Internet Explorer? Maybe You Need Fewer Bits. The fix is simple and all it really takes is to right-click the icon for Internet Explorer and choose "Properties". When that comes up change the value in the "Target" field from "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". Once you make the change save the change and then use that link to get to administer your browser. I tried it and it worked. I guess I missed the post from Linksys Support about that possibility.
