Targeting iTunes to DL to... from web browser

I'm wanting to serve up some free videos on my site for the new iPods for free.
What I'm looking for is specific HTML/Javascript code to target iTunes directly.
Similar to the way you can target Quicktime Player from a link in HTML like the following example shows.
Example:
(code from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/maria_taylor.html )
I've replaced enclosing tags w/ [] for obvious reasons.
[OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="27" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"]
[PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="http://images.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/images/btn_480p.mov"]
[PARAM NAME="href" VALUE="http://images.apple.com/movies/us/hdgallery/gl1800/480p/maria_taylorm480p.mov"]
[PARAM NAME="controller" VALUE="false"]
[// --- HERE IS THE TARGETING --->
[PARAM NAME="Target" VALUE="QuickTimePlayer"]
[PARAM NAME="pluginspage" VALUE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"]
[// --- HERE IT IS AGAIN --->
[EMBED WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="27" TARGET="QuickTimePlayer" CONTROLLER="false" SRC="http://images.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/images/btn_480p.mov" HREF="http://images.apple.com/movies/us/hdgallery/gl1800/480p/maria_taylorm480p.mov" BGCOLOR="FFFFFF" BORDER="0" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html"]
[/EMBED]
[/OBJECT]
This is actually a poster frame movie rather than a HTML link. But the principle should be the same.
Does anyone have an idea of the syntax that needs to be used to download a video to iTunes rather than to the desktop or played in the browser.
Or does this concept negate the whole idea of the Apple Music Store. If you can download directly to iTunes... what's stopping people from making their own stores.
Or do I need to do a straight download and provide instructions on how to add it to your iTunes library so it is available to your new iPod.
That's beside the point... I just would like to know if it is possible for non-profit/recognition reasons. Shamless self-promotion if you will.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't have the code you need, but QuickTime Pro 7.0.3 has a new Movie to iPod export function.
When a file made in this way is downloaded, double clicking the icon is all that the user has do to put it into iTunes.

If you want to run forms without the IE browser (hidden)
Try this
To open web forms just like client server with a hidden IE window, I have invented two methods.

Running a Java application from web browser

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, and it probably isn't, but I don't really know what else to do at the moment.
I have a problem. I've written all these nice and pretty Java applications that do all this complicated junk that makes me proud. However...I have no idea how to actually run those applications.
I've looked at guides on Java applets, Java Web Start, Java Server Pages, etc, and I still am not sure. JSP looked like the best option, until I figured out I can't use it with my web server. So, I've pretty much hit a wall here.
If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be very appreciative. All I want is for a certain application to run when a user clicks a button on a simple HTML page. That's all I want...yet it seems so hard.
Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to use JWS or something and configure all these JARs and JNLP and classpaths and everything under the sun (no pun intended)?
Again, I apologize if there is a better forum for this; I am just very confused right now and feel like I've hit a brick wall. If anyone can give me any advice, or point me in a good (easy) direction, I would truly be grateful.

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be
very appreciative. All I want is for a certain
application to run when a user clicks a button on a
simple HTML page. That's all I want...yet it seems so
hard. There's a lot of hidden details that make it so hard. What computer will run the application when the button is clicked? If the application will run on the client computer (within the web browser) there has to be a mechanism for allowing arbitrary code to be downloaded, verified and executed on any number of different target platforms. This is the problem that Java Applets address. Mostly this is a security issue, since a simple HTML page being able to run arbitary code without user interaction or approval is going to cause the world to be overrun by computer virii. There's also the multi-platform issue, but in many cases that can be avoided by requiring the client to use a single platform (the MS approach).
If the application will run on the server, then the client code is much less difficult, as only a basic web browser is needed, and the server code is complicated, since it needs to keep track of multiple clients at the same time and process data in a request-response fashion.
From the end-user's point-of-view, it certainly is simple though. Press the button and voila!

How do i save PDFs directly from web browser to iBooks - on a MAC

Is it possible to save PDFs directly from a web browser (any web browser) to iBooks?
it is easy to view and 'open in' iBooks from an iPad/iPhone, but don't see this option on the MAC.
i have resorted to saving the file and emailing it. Once viewed on the 'i-device' it can be easily saved.
iBooks is installed on my MAC and synced, so i can view the library.
I am just missing this direct step - MAC to iBooks
Please help,
Thanks - Rob

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser? So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'. Is that really the only way? The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I should have been more specific. I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome. While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.

Issue with opening pdf file from web browser

I have Acrobat Pro ver 6 and Adobe Reader 9.1 on a computer. when my user tries to open up a pdf from the web he is getting the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a WEb Browser. Adbe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
What also happens is that Acrobat Pro ver 6 opens up and nothing is there.
I am not sure why he is getting that message since Reader 9.1 is installed.
Can any one shed some light on this for me.
This user needs to have Acrobat and Reader on his system. I understand that there are issues with having both.
Also he has it set up so that any PDF is opening using the Reader 9.1.
Thanks,

Your PC's default reader configuration for embedded PDFs has become confused, due to multiple Adobe PDF document solutions installed on one PC.
Solution 1:
Go to Start > Run
Type regedit and click OK.
Browse to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Make sure that the correct Default data value is set for the path where Adobe Reader or Acrobat are installed.
The default installation values are:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
or
"C:\Program Files\adobe\acrobat 6.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (not sure about this path. Check on your PC to be sure)
depending on whether Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat is installed.
Solution 2:
Configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application.
If you are using Firefox to browse the web, you can change this setting in Firefox by going to:
Tools > Options
Click on the "Applications" Tab.
The first item in the list should be "Adobe Acrobat Document". Under the Action list, click the drop down arrow and select the application you want to read PDFs within the web browser. Click OK, and you should be done.
If you're using Internet Explorer to view PDFs, try the below steps.
After you configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application, the browser starts the helper application in a separate window and displays PDF files within that window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader both include a preference that lets you specify Acrobat or Adobe Reader as the helper application.
To configure Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application:
Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Select Internet on the left.
Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.
Quit Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
The next time you select a link to a PDF file in the browser, a dialog box asks what you would like to do with the file. If you select Open It, the browser opens the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader (the helper application); if you select Save It To Disk, the browser saves the PDF file to your hard drive.

Can't save pdfs from web browser

I recent;y had to reinstll adobe pro on a new computor (purchased here). Now I cannot save pdfs from my web browser. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

What browser, and what happens?
Are you trying to save PDF as PDF or create PDF?

Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

Hi Guys,
Just a brief history about the issue:
At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
Initial fix:
Open Adobe Reader
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
-> Reboot the machine
This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
Thanks,

There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions. It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver. The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors. The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often: the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

How to access solaris management console from web browser??

Hi,
I am running Sol9 with the latest patches. The console gui freezes every time I try to admin NIS users in my NIS toolbox. It used to work but now it doesn't. I need to access this thing from a web browser if that's possible since there is no console that I can install on my windows laptop that can connect to the server.
Can this be done?? I can't find any info on docs.sun.com on what URL and port to use.
I did find something that says there is a /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver but it does not exist on any of my machines.
Help?? Please???
Thanks,
Tom

On my machine, when I point my browser to http://<hostname>:898 (the management server port) I get a nice message telling me that a web version of the Solaris Management Console is not currently available. Running the console tells me I'm running v2.1 which is what came out of the box.
I think the webserver component you refer to only ships with v3.0 and later. You can go to http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/index.html and download a base version for free to check it out.
By the way, I don't use a remote console to manage remote servers. It's too clunky. My solution for running the SMC remotely is to start an XServer on my laptop, telnet to the Sun host, su - root, set DISPLAY=<mylaptop>:0 and then run smc directly from the host. As long as there's no firewall blocking port 6000 between you and your host, you should be OK. This should be straightforward if you've run any graphical X apps before.
However, I don't administer NIS and my laptop is a Mac. Your mileage may vary considerably.

ASDM doesn't run from application, but runs from web browser

Not sure what the deal is.
All of our firewalls are running 8.4(7.22) and ASDM 7.2.2.
The primary campus firewall works fine when running Program Files-->ASDM launcher
Our VPN firewalls only allow access to ASDM when launched from a web browser. Attempts to connect through the ASDM application respond with "Unable to connect to x.x.x.x".

If the devices are using the default self-signed certificate dynamically generated during boot-up they could have rebooted and thus changed their certificates (which would then have to be trusted anew by Java).
To avoid this, we generally try to use persistent certificates on the ASAs.
If that's the case for your, it's a good opportunity to generate a new certificate (using a 2048-but RSA key if you don't already have one) and bind it to the interface(s) you manage from.

Submit the PDF over and over from web browser

Hi,
I have created a submit button on a form and submititng to local server. My requirement is user should able to hit the Submit button over and over untill they close thye browser. Every time they hit thye submit button, I get updated data PDF.
I could able to do this only one time. It means, when I load the form first time from web broweser the "this.URL" variable in jvascript gives as http://localhost/xxx/yyy. After I Submit the button then this.URL gives as c://users/my user name/temp/xxx.pdf which can't submit to the URL. I am using a servlet to capture the pdf and sneding the entire pdf back to the server because user should able to see their PDF on browser. If I do not send the pdf back then it gives blank page.
The question is
1. Can I stay in the same PDF after I hit the Submit button.
2. If issue #1 is not possible then how can I submit the PDF over and over without loosing it from broweser.
Thanks,
-Thiru

I tried sending the server response with 204 response code. That did not work. After I click the button in the form, the screen goes blank. Here I attached before and after results of this.
could you post sample FDF? Another questions is that my PDF form has signature signed with Topaz signpad. I believe, FDF handles these field values also.

How do I send entire pdf form via email from web browser

How do you send a pdf completed form on your web browser via email to email address?

Hello Wayne, see no offense in this message
There is a faster scheme.
Copy the range of cells to send (it may be an entire table)
Enter the application entitled Preview.
File > Create a new doc from the clipboard
File > Send the selected PDF document (I'm not sure of the exact wording).
It's the highlighted one.
Bingo, it will create a mail with the PDF embedded.

Query on SRM Authorization for PO Print Preview from Web Browser

Hi All,
I would like to restrict PO Preview option in Web browser for users who has SAP_EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE Role only. Kindly let me know that how I can restrict the PO Preview option with popup message like 'Authorization is not given to see the PO Print Preview'.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks,
Sudarsan

You can just revoke the authorization. This would remove the prining option for the user, rather than providing a message.
I guess this should be
Authorization Object - BBP_PD_PO
Activity (ACTVT) - 04
Note: The necesary object in the Object Class - BBP.

Cannot print .pdf from web browser, being prompted to save

We have Adobe Reader 9 installed
It is being run on a Vista OS
User is able to open a pdf file and print to the printer without any problems.
The problem occurs when the pdf is opened in a browser window.
When you select the print button and select to print the document, rather than printing as would be the norm, it defaults to saving to a location.
You can save it, then open what was saved in Reader and print it.
What changes need to be made in order for it to print from the browser rather than try to save?

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

How to use Yahoo or Gmail instead of Mail to send emails from Web Browser?

When I'm on the web & want to send a web page or link as an email, how do I change the default so I can use either my Yahoo or Gmail email account?
I don't want Apple Mail to open, but I want it sent from my internet email account.

A rather primitive way to use GMail via browser, is to
get a second browser for use with the web mail, & also
get Google Notifier, so you can select GMail to run in a
browser of your choice via Notifier.
For mine, I use Camino, a decently quick and current
browser; and have chosen it as the system Default
browser (you can do that in Safari) so Camino opens
if/when you click on something that needs a browser.
Notifier can run in the main Menu bar, and does OK.
As my systems all have at least four current browsers,
and I often find my use centers around Firefox, the
second browser used for web mail does not affect my
use of the primary browser when doing online tasks.
And I can hide the open web mail browser in the Dock.
So, this is my primitive cure for using web mail via browser.
This, due to the fact I never use any client Mail application.
And when I leave my computer (it is left asleep) I am sure to
use the Camino browser 'reset' command to wipe sessions.
(If you have your computer set up to require a password to
function on awakening from sleep, that can help keep it safe.)
Not sure how you could handle Yahoo mail, probably with a
login link in a browser, so you can click on it; or have the
Yahoo login a home page in a limited-use secure browser.
Probably there are other and better ideas; since I don't use
an email client app and don't have email other than Gmail,
this is a primitive way to make it work. Gmail Notifier is OK.
Not sure how supportive it may be, but it works in 10.5.8.
{And this allows one to choose an IP or other supplied email
account via Mail, separate from the gmail accounts.}
Good luck & happy computing!
