Trouble viewing shared folio on PC or Mac

First, DPS is an awesome suite, I just need to learn more about it.
Second, I'm trying to share a folio and its content with several people to review, and they don't all have devices readily available to view it. How do they view it on their computer in a browser? I've logged in and there doesn't seem to be a 'view' option available anywhere? It lets them go inside the folio and see the article names, but how do they view the articles themselves, as clicking them does nothing?

Well, the automated email says "To ... access the folio in the Folio Producer web client, click on the link above.... Users can also view the shared folio by...." It is the confusion that bothers me. A client with an ongoing publication will have devices, certainly. But in the corporate world, things go out to people across other departments and disciplines that will not have / know how to use InDesign to preview a folio. Some will probably not even have an Adobe ID. So after we get them signed up and shared with, to expect them to know and understand that the link in the email is useless to them, that they should instead install the Adobe Content Viewer on a mobile device and that the shared item it will magically appear when they launch it is the problem.
Once you have logged in with your Adobe ID to DPS (which is already a Flash website, meaning it is capable of showing/playing almost anything!), it just seems neglectful for there to be no way to actually view the folios/articles.
But maybe there is some other way to share this interactive content prior to publishing that I am missing? But I'm only a Team CC member, so I don't think I have access to the social sharing thing, etc.

Trouble Viewing iWeb site on dot Mac account

I have a home office and I also have a studio. When I am at home working, I have no trouble viewing photo pages on my dot mac account from either Safari or Firefox.
When I am at my studio, however, I cannot browse my photo pages on Safari nor with Firefox.
Safari gives me the "server stopped responding" error and Firefox displays "the server timed out".
So, what's up with this?
At the home office, I use wireless DSL access with a MacBook. At my studio, I'm using an iMac wirelessly on my network. The the service provided is through Comcast broadband cable modem.
On both machines, I have iLife & iWork 08. I do not sync my dot mac account with the 2 machines. The original files for the photo pages reside on my studio iMac.
So why can I browse my way through my photo pages when I'm surfing the web from my home office, but am unable to see them when I'm working at my studio?
Thanks for assisting me if you can.

I will when I go back to my studio. I'm just trying to understand where you are going with this. I have contractors who work in and out of my studio with their laptops. They use XP & Vista and they have absolutely NO problem what so ever accessing my photo pages. In fact, when I couldn't access from my iMac, I had one of them check to see if the site was down. They could see my pages just fine with no problem. So...if they can reach them using the same network while sitting at the desk next to mine...why can't my iMac reach the pages?
Thanks.

Is it possible to view a shared folio without an iPad?

Is it possible to view a shared folio on a desktop PC or Mac with the adobe content viewer app?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I'm a little confused though. When the viewer is opened it asks me to "Please select a .folio file". How do I open the shared .folio file?
Basically my problem is that the customer who is wanting to view the iPad app doesn't have an iPad to check it, and would like to view it on their desktop. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Chris

Trouble view Mac pdf

I am having trouble viewing a pdf that has been created on a Mac. The text is in the form and if I highlight the area, the text will appear.
I am trying to view information in a pdf form that was created on a Windows based machine and then completed on a Mac.
The Advanced Document Properties show the
DF Producer: Mac OS X 10.7.5 Quartz PDF Context
PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x)
I am using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7 and have the same problem on a Windows 8 machine using the current version of Adobe.
I can open the document without an error message but the form appears blank. When I left click on one of the form fields I can see the text in the field. I can only see one field at a time and the from prints blank fields. I thought the text might be a white font on a white back ground, but can not find an area for text formatting.

The user filled out the form using Mac Preview which breaks the form. Here's more info: Correcting PDF Form Field Appearances after Saving with Preview on the Mac

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

Folio Producer, Shared Folios and Content Viewer

Hi,
Forgive me if this answer is posted elsewhere and after some searching I wasn't able to find an answer.
I have several folios that students share with me. When you have 30 students or even more each semester sharing folios it starts to add up!
So, I was hoping I could use the Folio Producer to manage which folios (that they have shared with me) show up in my iPad content viewer app. I thought I could check, "Content Viewer for Web Only" in the bottom right of the window when I highlight the folio but when I do, the folio still shows up in the content viewer app.
The number of folios in my content viewer app is unyieldy and some folios aren't showing.
1. Am I using that feature correctly?
2. Is there any way to manage the folios so I can keep them but not have to delete?
3. If folios are not showing in the content viewer app, does this mean there is a limit to the number of folios that can be viewed in the content viewer app?
Thank you in advance.
Deb

1. No, that feature is for something entirely different (related to social sharing)
2. Not really. When they are in your account they show up in Adobe Content Viewer. That's what Adobe Content Viewr is for: to show you the folios in your account.
3. There's no limit. If the folios aren't showing up it probably means they aren't the right size for an iPad. They have to be 1024x768 or 2048x1536.

Shared folio stopped updating in Content Viewer

It appears that updates have stopped being pushed to a relatively large shared folio that we're working on (it is still internal and has not been published). Updates to this folio were working just fine, but they seem to have stopped sometime in the past two weeks. Here's what I know:
I am logged into my Adobe account in Content Viewer
I can view the "old" version of the folio that's currently stored on my iPad
The new content is visible in Folio Producer Editor (so it made it's way from InDesign to Adobe's servers)
No "Update Available" message appears in Content Viewer
We've attempted to share the folio with other Adobe accounts, and it won't push out to their accounts
I tried archiving it on my iPad, and it's now completely gone from Content Viewer (even though it's still shared with my Adobe Account)
Updates to other shared folios and new folios are being pushed through just fine, so it appears that Content Viewer is communicating with Adobe properly. It's just this one large folio - with 50+ articles and metadata fully populated - that suddenly decided it didn't want to update anymore.
My fear is that the folio is corrupt and that we are going to have to rebuild it, which will likely take several hours. Is there a way to quickly clone and publish a folio? Is there some new setting in Folio Producer that we need to activate? Would updating to the latest version of Builder and Producer Tools have screwed things up (which I doubt, since other folios are behaving normally)?
Thanks,
- Chris

I too having the same problem like you guys, it just suddenly stop working for me 3 days ago. It did noticed there's an update but failed to download it.
Cannot update libary. An error has occurred.
Digtial publishing suite Tips, a magazine I just downloaded yesterday also having the same error.
I also noticed that my "Fast company" stop working as well, keep giving me the same error.
Some other DPS magzine fair bit better, didn't give me any error but have slow downloads.

Why does "allow page view sharing" not show up in Acrobat XI (11.0.04)?

Hi.
I have some trouble using the live-review function of acrobat workspaces. I remember this was a little different some time ago (might was Acrobat 9). I follow these steps that I learned form the AdobeTV-Video "Collaboration using Shared Reviews via Acrobat.com":
- Acrobat XI: I choose "Send for Shared Review" from the "Comment"-Menue.
- I select "Automatically download & track comments with Acrobat.com"
- I automatically get logged in with my AdobeID (creative cloud for teams-subscription)
- I add the recipients' email-adresses
- Now I want to "Allow page view sharing and chat collaboration in this document", but I can not see the option
This is it...
I dont want users to download to desktop / open / comment / publish comments and save the File. I remember it was possible to open it in the browser and comment live on it, while others could respond on that comments and so on.
Has the feature (how I know it) been removed/changed or is there something else I can't see?
Thanks in advance and greetings
Marius

That feature was removed.

How do I view Time Machine from a different Mac?

Using Pondini's excellent tutorial, I navigated to the Time Machine backups from an earlier Mac (on the same "Time Machine" partition of an external HDD.)
First, I was at the level of Macintosh HD/Users, and I could see my earlier Mac's users, but they had the usual red 'No Entry' circle against most of the Home folders so I couldn't see what was in them.
Next, I quit TM and went to the folder I actually wanted (Mail Downloads) in Finder and tried again. This time, though I had option-clicked for other TM backups, it showed me the folder for my current Mac's backup (there's only been one or two so far). When I used the TM timeline slider to go back to that same folder on my other Mac, TM refused to budge. It stayed on my current Mac's window.
Basically, because of the permissions issue, I cannot view the data on my older Mac's TM backup using my current Mac, even though in theory I can option-click and get the window showing the earlier TM, and then select it and go into TM. I should point out that on the other Mac, I had a different account name and password - would this be the reason?

Pondini wrote:
There may be a way to get access to the backups, but it will take some finagling.
It sounds like you got a new Mac, right? And set it up from the old one, or its backups, and didn't use Setup Assistant when it first started up, but created that new user account first, then used MIgration Assistant. If so, the pink box does explain exactly why you're in a pickle.
Post back with details of how you got where you are, how many accounts are where, whether you've done new backups, etc.
It's a bit more complicated than that. I had a new Mac which I set up in the usual way (via a previous Time Machine). Then I let the new Mac go out of my possession for far longer than I'd intended, and meanwhile used an older Mac, where I made many changes to things like iTunes, iPhoto, documents, games, videos, etc. For reasons of space - a HD half the size - and knowing I'd get my new Mac back again, I slimmed down that older Mac with fewer Users, trimming out a lot of older stuff, and a different main account.
When I got the new Mac back, I obviously couldn't use TM to update it due to my 'slimming down' operation on the older Mac (I'd have updated many things but also lost a lot too). In the event, iTunes was updated with little difficulty, iPhoto was updated over the network, likewise all my documents and stuff. The main problem was getting my emails and downloads updated which wasn't at all straightforward. That's where TM backups on the recent (older) Mac came in - I'd use TM to fetch over the bits and pieces that were still missing on my less recent (but newer) Mac.
On my old Mac I've been using for months, I only had 3 users, one of them Shared. On my new Mac I have 7 Users, but it was only my main (admin) account that mattered. I've actually found that I can access my old/recent Mac on the network using File Sharing rather than TM and have got what I want that way. Now I want to get the old Mac off my desk and get some space back. Once it's in a cupboard, I don't want to have to heave it out again in case I find I've forgotten an essential item. That's why I wanted to make sure I could access it via TM.
The main account on my old Mac will be either 501 or 502. On my new Mac, those numbers belong to 1) what was once my main account on a G5 which I had to abandon due to logic board problems, and 2) a deleted account that doesn't exist anymore.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.

Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

PDF Viewer plugin for Firefox 4 on Mac

Firefox 4 on Mac would not come with a plugin for pdf viewing, you need to install the file below (just copy and paste in your browser and allow to install):
http://firefox-mac-pdf.s3.amazonaws.com/fx-quartz-pdf-1.2.0.xpi
(you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode ! go to applications, select Firefox and open "get info", check box for 32 bit mode)

Those links have more info on Chrom plugins and how to enable or disable them.
From the first link:
By default, Chrome uses a built in viewer to open PDFs. If you've disabled the built-in PDF viewer, Chrome will use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to display PDFs. Follow the suggestions at the first link if you're having trouble viewing PDFs within Chrome, using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
First check if the issue is specific to Chrome. Try opening PDFs in another browser on your computer, such as Firefox. If you experience similar problems viewing PDFs in another browser, the issue is likely not related to Chrome.

IPhoto 11 - Problem viewing shared photos

Hi,
We have two MBP and we're having trouble viewing the photos from the other library via the Share function. The share is occurring through FW. Both MBP are running iPhoto 9.1.3. The issue is that MBP A can see MBP B's photos through share, but MBP B while it can see A's Shared library, it only sees black outlines of the photos and not the photos themselves. It's as if there is some sort of bug.
I should point out that I can see the photos once I click on the thumbnail previews, but the thumbnail previews remain empty, just outlined.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Clarified issue

Hi, Terence,
It's setup within iPhoto. Turns out, if you have the thumbnail size set too small (to the minimum0, it shows them as just empty, outlined squares. If you increase the size a little bit, then the thumbnails can be seen properly. I tested this on the other MBP and it was true there, too, we just didn't notice it because the default thumbnail size was bigger.
Cheers,
Wilde

Trouble creating shared photo streams

A few days ago I created four separate shared photo streams using various events in iphoto. I shared all four with my husband and everything worked great.
Since then I have tried multiple times to create additional shared photo streams to share with him and none of them work. I hilite all the photos and select Share and it creates the shared photo stream but no photos are ever inside.
Why can't I get this feature to work anymore?
The existing four photo streams still work perfectly and all the photos are intact.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I am using the most recent version of iphoto 9.5.1.
The problem with getting shared photo streams to populate seems to be a bit random. I was able to create a couple more shared photo streams today, but it doesn't work everytime.
Nothing seems to be wrong with any of the photos I am using. They are viewable in full size and don't seem to be any different than any other photos.
There are certain events I am having trouble with. Each time I try to create a shared photo stream with them, either they don't populate at all, or they only load a portion of the photos and videos before stopping.
In the last case, it stopped after 390 photos out of approx. 600 photos, according to the icloud shared photo stream on the Mac, although my iphone has maybe 20 more in the shared photo stream than the Mac says there are.
None of this seems to make any sense.
Thanks,
Lorraine

I`m having trouble with my new advanced system the mac os X 10.0.3

Hello everybody...
I need Help, I would appreciated anything anybody could do to help me...
I`m trying to install the new software the mac os X 10.0.3 and having trouble transfering all my files form the mac os 9.2.2 classic to my new system...Do i have to erase my hard drive to do a clean install???? Could I transfer my files to my home`s computer, instead of buying a portable smartdisk hard drive of 100 Gb, and then so i could transfer my fiels back to my mac without no trouble ????
I Hope anyone could answer to my post as soon as possible, Thanks

Hi, John. If you weren't having trouble with Mac OS 10.0.3, it would be a major surprise. OS X 10.0.x and 10.1.x were unusable beta versions and never should have been released, in the view of most people who ever tried to run them. It would be a severe trial of your patience and a waste of your time to install 10.0.3 on your Mac.
If you want to run OS X, buy OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar), 10.3.x (Panther) or the current version, 10.4 (Tiger). All are available at reasonable prices from AppleRescue. Tiger is also available from any Apple retailer. Carefully read the system requirements for whichever version you prefer, and be sure your computer meets them before buying. If your Powerbook only has a 10GB hard drive, install a larger one (at least 40GB is sensible, since the cost per gigabyte of smaller drives is now exorbitant compared with larger units) before bothering to install OS X.
It would be most advisable to copy everything on your current hard drive to an external FireWire hard drive, then reformat and erase the internal drive before installing OS X on it. Doing so insures that your data is all safe and that your internal drive is in tip-top condition when the new OS is installed. After performing the installation, you can copy the contents of the external drive back onto the internal drive. The external drive will then be available as backup space for the entire contents of the internal drive, including OS X, all your applications, and all your data.
While OS 9 is still installed on your hard drive, check to make sure your Powerbook's firmware is up to date. It will need to be brought up to date while running OS 9, before you install OS X 10.2 or higher. Here is the updater for your 500MHz Tibook:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75132
If the firmware has already been updated, running the updater again will tell you so and will do no harm.
